The best restaurants serving British food in Melton East Midlands

Called in when had just opened. Ordered 3 cups of coffee 1 decaff, 2 normal and 1 coke. They brought out 2 coffee..couldn't tell us which was decaffeinated,and the coke..waited for the other coffee..had to go back in and the had forgotten about the 3rd coffee..would hate to see what they are like when there is a rush on.

My friend and I booked for lunch on Thursday, lovely pub very friendly, I had a steak pie that was fine my friend had a chicken that was lovely, then we ordered desserts mine a chocolate brownie with salted caramel, it was all chocolate and chocolate sauce my friend had apple crumble , it came in a dish which was full of what looked and tasted like apple sauce with a tiny sprinkle of crumble on top we were both disappointed, my friend left nearly all of his, we mentioned it to the young barman and asked him to mention it to chef, we sat for a while longer then went to pay our bill, and I asked the young barman what was the chefs reply and he told us oh I didn’t tell him, my criticism was constructive and I’m disappointed he didn’t mention it so chef could put it right for the next customer.

Dreadful food poisoning after a take out bacon sandwich. Unable to work for days afterward. Should have the food hygiene standards revisited.

We visited in the first week of opening so there was still a sense of things settling down but our tuna mayo rolls and cakes were delicious and there is a very good gluten free offer. Mrs B has a clear vision of what she wants to create, a modern take on a traditional tea room good food catering for all tastes and needs at the heart of it. Good luck to her

Fantastic food and service as always! Went at lunchtime so it was a bit quiet hence only 4 stars for atmosphere! Great place

Una joya absoluta de un pub. Excelente cerveza, precioso cuidado y bien servido por un buen personal. Sin embargo, una terrible experiencia de puertas tempranas completamente arruinada por niños rebeldes de entre 4 y 10 años. ¡Padres terribles que les permiten luchar, correr, gritar e incluso jugar a los dardos! El lugar parecía una guardería. Los padres de hoy en día son una desgracia y no tienen en cuenta a aquellos de cierta edad que disfrutamos de una pinta pacífica. Creo que el propietario necesita abordar esto y tal vez también reflexionar si realmente se necesita un televisor en un lugar así.

A disappointing visit to The Windmill recently. My food was ok but others in my party were disappointed with theirs. Another reason for dissatisfaction is that despite my daughter being 19yrs old and having valid identification with her the staff refused to serve her any alcohol. I can understand they are cautious when serving to younger people but she had identification with her that they would not accept.

Walked over from long clawson with the dogs for some lunch Good burgers, decent selection of beers and friendly staff, all reasonably priced. Good outdoors area for the dogs and a play park for the toddler. Will definitely return

Coffee was fine, but site was a bit dirty with used cups and debris left on tables for too long. Actually closes at 5:30…pls update your website!

We've been here numerous times, it's our goto date night place😁, always a warm welcome from Anna and Alan, really good home made food, great atmosphere, nothing is too much trouble. The log burner in the lounge is comforting in the winter months after a dog walk(behaved dogs welcome). You leave feeling you've made new friends, highly recommend

The Anchor is a top pub. Paul is world class bartender. Great vibes. Love the local feel and cold beers. Have a game of darts as well.

My partner and I visited the Anne of Cleves a few months back while stopping overnight in Melton Mowbry. I'll save you the suspense by telling you this - it was hands down, the best steak meal either of us had ever had. Every single item on the dish was of noticably high quality, from the succulent tomatoes to the plump, juicy steak; every single item on the dish was cooked to perfection, including the steak that was exactly how we had ordered and bursting with flavour; and every single item on the dish was copious in quantity as well as quality, not cutting corners in any respect. It was the first time in a long time that I felt I had got a meal worthy of the price and it raised the bar. We simply don't know what to do with ourselves since. My partner has said she's never going to order a steak dinner anywhere else because she knows it inevitably won't compare. I myself feel a similar sense of trepidation, knowing I will be in for disappointment no matter where I go. The standard is generally so low these days when eating out that to find somewhere offering a quality meal way above and beyond our expectations, well, it simply blew our socks off. Simply sensational. Keep up the amazing work. Keep sourcing better than average products. Keep cooking the food with passion. Keep providing great table service and making the customer feel like you care. 11/10. We're sad we don't live closer and cannot visit again any time soon. *Chef's kiss.* Sublime.

Called for lunch and received a very warm welcome Ordered sandwiches and fries , came with a side salad, coleslaw and excellent chips. All very fresh and beautifully made Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend and will definitely call again.

I visited Stapleford Park with a family group - my wife, son and girlfriend and my father-in law and his wife. We wanted to celebrate my son’s girlfriend’s birthday with a special occasion visit because, being Australian, she relished the idea of doing something typically English. The venue itself is undoubtedly impressive, but the afternoon tea experience was very disappointing. On arrival there was no proper welcome from any member of staff engaged in afternoon tea service. We were shown to our table and given a briefing from a senior staff member. After this, the level of service was virtually non-existent. Nobody asked whether everything was OK, whether more or any different teas were required. Amazingly, for this type of event, only one type of tea per person was offered. The sandwiches were unappetising, and cakes decidedly unimpressive. My father-in-law who is 98 went to the bar to settle the bill, and it was only a few days later that he showed us he’d been charged 6 x £41, plus a service charge of £30. He wasn’t told about the service charge when paying. We were outraged at the underhand way this charge had been levied, and also the fact that there was no relationship between the charge and the poor service we had received. The service charge was later refunded following a phone call by my wife. There are obvious signs of weak management and poor staff training here. Avoid if you’re looking for a more rewarding experience.
