The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Shame it's not popular, favourite pub of all time

The food here is 💯 better than the ship in Skegness, every one is made welcome staff are really nice and friendly for is freshly cooked

Went for dinner not been for about six months. I had the cottage pie the meat was ok but the potato topping had lumps of uncooked potato in it which spoilt it. It was served with vegetables and the cabbage again was uncooked I had three solid lumps of what looked like the core of the cabbage, my fork wouldn’t even go in it. The second meal was ok. I mentioned it to the waitress and was offered a free dessert but would rather have had a decent main in the first place. Not really worth the money.

Staff wiped table leaving old food . Only seat available was next to a smelly bin, sausage tasted disgusting, and made me feel ill. Staff spilt fluid over me,.. never again. The truck stop is nearby it was 1000 times better, and could definately teach this joke of a cafe a lot.

We all ordered the moot steak and ale pie and mash. Generous helpings and it was all delicious. 2 pies and a bottle of wine offer too during the week. Highly recommended.

This pub/restaurant had amazing service and gave us top quality food in quick time. It was awesome food especially for my own birthday week!!

Absolute gem which we are thrilled we found. Good easy parking, fabulous menu of truly home cooked foods. Wide drinks list Beautiful inside with level access and patio area all over looking the run way. Staff friendly and efficient, dog friendly outside although when wind is high ( like today ) the patio is closed for safety which is fully understandable. Will definitely return if we are in the area

We love visiting the bakery, the sandwiches are to die for and the kids and wife love the cakes! When it’s busy, being inside is a squeeze, and if you’re trying to be polite and wait until you’re called, you’ll be overlooked! We normally have a pleasant exchange with staff, although the last two visits it couldn’t be further from that. First time it was busy so we shrugged it off, but the 2nd visit the shop was empty and it came across like they wanted to get us out as quick as possible! Overall it’s a great place to take the kids for a treat on the weekend!

Amuse bouche was delightful Main course excellent Meat melted in the mouth Desert was quite lovely We were the only three people in (Weds Afternoon) and it was quite cold. £128 for the three main course and two desserts Highly recommend the food, ambience not so great

In March we booked for our wedding reception in May. Three weeks before our date in May, a friend told us she had heard the pub was closed. We tried to phone/write to find out details but all attempts to contact them ignored. Up on visiting last week, it looks like it's closed for good. We would have turned up with all 12 guests following our wedding. Luckily we have found another place, at such short notice.

5 * first time been here staff food brilliant. Well impressed. Had double bacon double black pudding and egg banjo all in one bun

Great food- it is what it is but does it well. Service great and food good. Easy to find and lots of parking been coming for years always come back.

Excellent Service, friendly staff. Good varied choice. All our meals were excellent, served promptly and all nice and hot.

Popped into the cafe with my husband today. Both of us asked for sandwiches not on the menu - the waitress was so lovely, as was the chef, totally accommodated us. Sandwiches were delicious, generous portion and lovely ingredients. Sadly we had to rush off due to an appointment but will definitely be back!

Amazing staff who did not flinch when 18 of us turned up for breakfast. Natalie, Oomar and Rukiya all went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. All ordered different breakfasts and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Kids enjoyed the village feel and the stream on the street. Would defo go again
