The best restaurants serving British food in Bottesford Melton East Midlands

Called in when passing through and was met by a very friendly lady who showed us to a table. It is an attractive little cafe with a great menu and the staff were so welcoming. We had a bacon and mushroom omelette and a cheese and onion toastie, both served with salad and accompanied by two lattes. Drinks were served promptly and food followed shortly on hot plates. Cannot fault it at all and would highly recommend this wonderful little place.

A long time favourite but haven’t been since it changed hands until this weekend. Sunday lunch with friends - roast beef was inedible /soooo tough. Mentioned to serving staff 🤷‍♀️ no apology - nothing! Prob won’t go back after that experience. Interesting that it wasn’t very busy either- used to have to book way in advance to be sure to get a table !

Paul’s is consistently good, every time we’ve been. The food is outstanding, cooked to perfection and cannot be faulted in any way. We all commented on how delicious it was. The staff are also friendly, welcoming and efficient. This place really is special! 🥰

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Rutland Arms for my mothers birthday. The food tasted great, fresh and so nice to try something a little different. The waitress, (I can't remember her name) but she was so lovely and chatty & an asset to the business. I would recommend to anyone wishing to enjoy a meal in nice surroundings with good food that won't break the bank. We will definitely be returning.

We visited the Old Forge this morning for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by Lola the dog who made our own little dog very welcome. The outside seating area was extremely pleasant and well kept with a charming brook and weeping willow setting the scene. Our breakfast of bacon and egg sandwiches served on toasted granary bread was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. Our hosts were lovely and offered advice on some dog walking routes in the area which we went on to enjoy. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you very much, Jayne, Dean and Rexi x

Pre booked tables were being used, service dreadful, coffee tepid, cake arrived when we had all drunk our coffee, restaurant manager unfriendly and dismissive, tables not been wiped, crumbs under the chairs.Decor lovely and expensive but ‘fur coat and no knickers’ - need to get the essentials right pdq!!One positive - young waiter Tom was a star.
