The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Donington North West Leicestershire East Midlands

We collected an order for 16 people today from No. 11 Deli. I'd used them regularly before. Everyone of my colleagues has asked me who supplied the food for todays event. The variety of sandwiches, wraps, savoury snacks and tray bakes were fabulous. The food was fresh and the ingredients were great quality. I've never had bad food at the deli but this far exceeded my expectations, I will definitely be ordering these platters again for our next work event. Thank you to everyone there. Angie

What a great place! Service, food and atmosphere is faultless.

Cordial bienvenida en este pequeño hotel de gestión privada. Engañosamente amplio aparcamiento en la parte trasera del hotel. Habitación cómoda y buena comida. El pequeño bar satisface los requisitos para la mayoría de admirablemente y el salón es más que adecuada para un hotel pequeño. Durante mi estancia allí fueron alojados y todos los pilotos consultados felizmente disfrutando del ambiente de camaradería. Gran relación calidad-precio y lo recomiendo.

As the title says, Astounded!! Rang up to order a takeaway. Ordered a jacket potato with tuna mayo and cheese and salad. Collected it myself. £8.05 for a small jacket, a dessert spoon of tuna mayo, hardly any cheese, a very little salad... Just awful in every way... I won't be returning. I understand the business owner has to pay bills and staff, but if all the food is that bad quality and prices like that, customers will go elsewhere.

Me and my husband stopped here on our walk along the canal Order 2 drinks and 2 cakes Met Katie such a nice friendly lady Sat down with drinks and 🎂 Drinks very good Cake was very nice Such a little gem 💎 Will return Also it's only open Friday Saturday and Sunday Worth a visit

My partner recently moved to CD and this is his local. Cindy, Lee and all the staff have made him feel so welcome and he often comes and has dinner here alone but feels at home here. The food is excellent, freshly made and great value and the ambiance is excellent. We often have the Sunday carvery and they always squeeze us in no matter how busy they are. The Posh Fish Finger sandwiches are fabulous! Well done for creating a great pub where everyone feels at home and welcome.

If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, please do, you won't be disappointed and I cannot recommend it enough. This restaurant needs it's own clear listing on Trip Advisor to differentiate it from the Donington Manor Hotel, please claim it Donington Manor! The Sage Restaurant, situated inside the hotel currently has Craig Riley as their head chef. Craig is extremely talented, dishing up Michelin standard food. We had the A La Carte menu here a few weeks ago. I read the excellent reviews but initially discounted the restaurant because dinner service is 6.30-8.30 and we struggle with babysitters. However we happened to meet Craig in the hotel car park during the Castle Donington Fair and he offered to serve us dinner on a Friday afternoon, on a day we had booked off work to celebrate my partners birthday. We're so pleased we went and are already trying to find a way to return with friends as soon as we can. The food was incredible and such good value for money considering the quality and cooking techniques used. We were served more courses than we bargained for and the service was brilliant - they're clearly just a really good bunch that want to wow customers, it was an all round enjoyable experience - and the kind of food you think about for days after!! If you live locally and take Donington Manor for granted, look again and make the effort to go, we are so luckily to have Craig's talent on our door step.

A Deeply Disappointing Stay – One to Avoid at All Costs I had rather hoped for a charming countryside retreat, but what awaited me was quite the opposite — an establishment in dire need of not just a revamp, but a complete reinvention. The cottage rooms were frankly appalling — dirty, damp, and reeking of years of neglect. It was as though time had stood still, albeit in the most unpleasant way imaginable. Upon arrival, the bathroom sink was blocked, there was human waste left in the toilet (yes, really), and not a single sheet of toilet paper in sight. One would expect even the most modest accommodation to uphold basic standards of hygiene — clearly not the case here. To make matters worse, it appears this is not a one-off. A quick glance at online reviews revealed years — years — of similar complaints about the cottages, yet bafflingly, nothing has been done to rectify them. The dining experience was no better. The kitchen had closed early in the evening, leaving only a meagre offering of braised beef — four mouthfuls at best — accompanied by frozen chips. That’s it. Imagine my astonishment when I discovered I had been charged over £30 the following morning for what could only be described as a snack in both size and quality. Breakfast, too, was an ordeal. One solitary staff member began setting up at exactly 7:00am — not a moment sooner — and the process was excruciatingly slow. For a hotel charging such rates, one might expect a smoother, more welcoming experience. To add insult to injury, I received no response or acknowledgement after raising these concerns with management. The silence speaks volumes. In summary: avoid this outdated, damp, dirty, and grossly overpriced hotel. There are far better — and cleaner — places to stay where basic standards of comfort and cleanliness are actually observed. This building has charm, yes — but it is buried beneath layers of mildew, disrepair, and indifference.

Best ever scotch egg and sausage roll at Parsley Hay kiosk from the smashing Sue and Kevin. A warm welcome on a grotty summer day while cycling the Tissington Trail

Lovely stay, the hotel room was clean and comfortable but could have benefited from a bit of TLC. The food in the restaurant was great, generous portions and beautifully cooked and presented. We chose to have a cooked breakfast in the morning and it was excellent value for money and perfectly cooked. Service from all members of staff was friendly and very good. We were made to feel very welcome.

Stayed at the Travel lodge for 2 night over the Download festival ( June 14th + 15th 2019). We had no choice but to get breakfast at the Harvester.
