The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Really friendly local village pub, well patronised by locals and some from surrounding villages. Excellent cask ales with a weekly guest ale. Although this is not a food pub, it does sell heated sausage rolls, cornish pasties, and pizza twirls along with the usual crisps, peanuts, etc. There are regular events such as Live singers, Karaoke, Bingo, and a,weekly meat raffle on a Sunday at 4.00pm followed by 'Play your cards right'. Still very much the hub of the Community. Nothing has altered, a brilliant Village pub serving excellent beverages to the Community along with a venue for friends and families to meet together. Unfortunately, the current Landlord has had to serve notice due to price rises across the board. Hopefully, the owner will try to maintain it as a community asset. Only 5 weeks remaining as a pub in its own right. I believe it will be closed for a few weeks and reopen as an Indian restaurant under a new name and management. I will have to wait and see if it will retain any 'wet' trade for locals. The pub closed and has now re opened as a bar and grill Bangladeshi restaurant. Moocha Wala.

Absolutely gutted . Been today from Sheffield and although it states on website open its actually shut and looks like its been renovated..please update the website so people know..had to go elsewhere which was nowhere near as good and cost more aswell ..Still ticked 5 as it always is so good..

Coffee and pain au chocolat was excellent accompanied by warm chocolate sauce- a real treat. Lunch was takeaway sourdough rolls: one with chorizo, goats cheese and chilli jam, the other with Parma ham and Brie - both made an excellent picnic. Afternoon tea after our walk ( just before 3pm when they close) was earl grey tea for me with chocolate and Guinness cake and ‘ every day tea for my wife. We also came away with a sourdough loaf, whole meal date scone and more chocolate and Guinness cake. Our second visit and we will be back!

Terrible food, atmosphere, everything they have ruined our village pub! Have no desire to visit again Such a shame as conviennent but just awful all round!

Remarkably good. Excellent coffee (made properly) taste of the coffee is different to anything you would find around. It actually tastes how you would want a coffee to taste if you were to go out and enjoy one. The breakfasts and cakes look insane and we will deffo be back.

We were a party of 5 for Sunday lunch. For once the weather was sunny so the pub was busy. All of our party ordered a roast lunch. I will comment on my meal. Having waited 1 hour the food arrived. My order of a full sized beef lunch was served on a plate so undersized that the food was stacked high. The beef was verging on grey in colour, dry over cooked, and tasteless - perhaps cooked sometime ago and frozen.The honey coated carrots were a nice touch but over cooked. The beans were also overcooked and with the carrots were under seasoned. The potatoes were fine. The red cabbage was a surprising addition but would have been much better if pickled. The Yorkshire pudding was fine but the gravy was thin and tasteless. The staff were excellent .Had my wife and I had not been with friends who live locally our meals would have been sent back. We like to support local pubs. Come on you can do better than this.

Had a meal service excellent But had the lasagne disappointed ☹️

Excellent country pub with great service and lovely food! We keep going back for Sunday lunch, amongst other times! Sunday lunch is particularly great meat lovely and loads of it, lovely selection of veg too just a bit different. So far not found anything to match it for Sunday lunch . Other dishes are good too particularly the pie and I’m not a pie fan generally! A particular shout out to Megan for the great friendly attentive service from her and all her colleagues. Great ambience and lovely gardens! Renovated a few years ago to a very high standard!

Delightful service, food, decor. Really enjoyed our visit, not sure we have not visited before, we will be back. Menu is varied and interesting. Crab starter was sublime and lamb too. Such attentive service.

We visited on a Friday lunchtime and there were plenty of bikers outside enjoying a drink and bite to eat but there was plenty of room to sit inside. There was a great menu choice with paninis, filled oatcakes, burgers, breakfast foods and a fantastic selection of local ice-cream and homemade cakes which looked AMAZING. Even though it was very busy outside we were served quickly and our food arrived in hardly no time at all. We had a full breakfast each, one of them being vegetarian, where, instead of the bacon and sausage there was a delicious cheese-filled oatcake (along with fried egg on toast, beans. mushroom and cooked tomatoes). The tea was hot and the vanilla milkshake was lovely. We got the apple pie and lemon curd cake to take away as they looked delicious! The lady who served us couldn't do enough for us and was extremely helpful and polite. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit today (13/09/2024) and will certainly be back, thank you!

Food is fairly good but way overpriced. Some of the staff are nice. Always busy if weather is good. I based my review on value for money, and tbh Monyash old smithy tea room, or even Eyam tea room are far better. Again almost Michelin prices for transport cafe grub.

Called here this morning before going for a walk round Matlock bath. Lovely quaint little tea shop with welcoming servers. Just had drinks but the menu stated a variety of food and cakes. Great prices also. Would call again as lots of Covid restrictions in place so felt safe.

Great pub 👌 good service, very clean and good price 👍

We went for the Senior Meal special at £16.99 for three courses. Fully intended to have three courses. We both chose Thai fishcakes to start and the serving was large enough to be a Mains. Excellent quality. To follow we chose scampi and chips etc and fish and chips. Again, very large portions and we both left some. We were full! So no dessert this time which was a shame as there was a good selection. Service very friendly and prompt. With drinks our total bill came to £31 for two of us. Service was not included. I managed to find a fiver in real money for the waitress. Recommended.

Very nice pub lovely pies great desert would highly recommend. Steak and stilton pie was amazing followed by cheese cake for pudding.
