The best restaurants serving British food in Rushcliffe East Midlands

As my friend had a big birthday (she won’t want me to divulge her age) 😜 I decided to take her somewhere new. I had seen Platform 29 on various social media sites & thought it looked very pleasant, so booked. Having never been to Ratcliffe in Trent, we set off on our adventure & we were not disappointed. The staff were all very lovely, nothing was too much trouble, even when my friend had an intolerance to mayo which I hadn’t told them about when I booked & they had asked about dietary requirements. 🤦🏼‍♀️ They made her some plain sandwiches which were equally delightful. The sandwiches were amazing, the bread was very fresh & light, the fillings plentiful. The scones were some of the best I’ve had anywhere & I’ve sampled a few in my time! Now I’m struggling to fine the words to describe the cakes (lemon & chocolate) as they were a triumph! The were so light & delicious, again some of the nicest I have had, with or without afternoon tea. I would just like to say a really big “thank you” to them for making the experience memorable in truly the best way!

Visited today with my mother and mother in law for the first time, we will be returning, made to feel so welcome by the lovely lady Rona, food was wonderful, we loved the surroundings, Thank You very much

Been going to this cafe for years now and never fails to please! lovely freshly tasty food and extremely well priced. Best local cafe in all the local villages

Amazing food & fruit smoothies! I’ve never once had a bad meal everything tastes amazing the soup is always something different which I love the variety! Most places stick to the same soup every week! The fruit smoothies are actually addictive there that good and so refreshing!!! Definitely the best scran in the three towns by miles!! The staff can’t do enough to help you and make sure you are 100% happy with everything! Honestly you couldn’t fault it!

La tripulación siempre es extremadamente educada y amable, les encanta la comida fresca cocinada, siempre caliente y sabrosa, el servicio de buffet es insuperable donde nada es un problema, y los precios son mucho más baratos que cualquier estación de garaje local, servicios de autopista, etc. pero lo más importante es mucho más sabor y rellenos que otros proveedores, y todo esto se entrega a diario si es necesario sin costo adicional, No dudaría en recomendar los servicios de Courtyards a cualquier empresa, negocio local o patio de garaje, prefiero comprar sus alimentos fríos y calientes que los que se ofrecen actualmente en las estaciones de servicio locales

Came here with a friend we were visiting. Nice little tea room. Food is delicious and cooked fresh everyday. Having came here on our friends recommendation I certainly recommend this tea room. Made to feel very welcome. We took the last of the scones home to enjoy. I'd also like to recommend the luxury milkshake. That was really nice. The bacon brie and cranberry Panini is also a good choice.

Great cafe for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. Lovely for all others as well.

We had the perfect wedding and a big part of that was all the staff at Carriage hall. All the guests spoke so highly of the food and all the meeting from the initial appointment to the day were incredible. Thank you Cat for being there every step of the way xx

Busy, with a superb range of beers.

We just stayed at The Chestnuts Country House and all the reviews are so true. The setting is beautiful, the room is stunning, with everything you need and more for us and our dog. We were even able to charge our car over night. The breakfast is superb, truly remarkable. Thank you so much Kelly and David we can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Stopped here for Sunday lunch with my wife last weekend while we were visiting Nottingham. It was a last minute visit so there were no spaces in the restaurant and we had to eat in the bar with the two large TV screens and shouting fans over the football. We ordered a Sunday lunch each. Staff confused us at first with another table but they eventually came over with our food. It was well presented and the meat was firm, although a little too overlooked for my liking. The Yorkshire puddings were not home made but the parsnips were lovely and there was a separate dish of cabbage and carrots. My wife liked the food more that I did but then again we were looking for something to eat and not Michelin star food. The food was OK and I am not going to complain too much. The staff were lovely and friendly and the meal came to about £30 + for the two of us with a couple of drinks, my wife with her Diet Coke and me with the pint of lager shandy. Staff were very friendly and didn't mind a bit of light banter over their uniforms. It's sited outside the city centre on the road to Melton Mowbray for anyone interested. It's at the end of the main road through the village. No parking though so you will have to park on the main road, like we did.

First time visit for brunch Whilst the place itself and decor is rather average the food is fantastic! So many places these days offer so-so run of the mill food. This place had an interesting and varied menu with lots of veggie options. The food was gorgeous and really tasty, will return! The staff were timely and helpful too!! Would recommend

Muy cálido pub y bienvenido. Se muestra directamente a la mesa. Ordenado solo plato principal; todos tenían comida diferente - todos eran excelentes y todos disfrutaron a fondo de la comida. Una pequeña queja de pan sin gluten era pobre, hay excelente pan GF en la zona; ¿podría sugerir un equipo de búsqueda de alternativas? Tenía vino tinto de la casa, de nuevo muy bueno. El personal joven de nuevo era muy amable, pero algunas pequeñas sugerencias; no poner platos calientes de comida sobre las cabezas de las cenas, más fácil de caminar y servir desde el lado del restaurante. Cuando se le preguntó si nos gustaría menú de pudín, de acuerdo, pero después de 15 minutos no hay señal de menú. Lástima que hubiéramos tomado pudín y cafés pero decidimos no molestarnos. Sé que la dirección dirá que deberíamos haber preguntado (y estoy de acuerdo, pero no todo el mundo disfruta saludando al personal de espera o tratando de llamar la atención). Quería mencionar para que la gerencia pueda mejorar potencialmente el servicio. Con todo, muchas gracias, comida fantástica y volveremos - espero que algún servicio de pudín la próxima vez!

I met a friend here recently and we had lunch. Food is nice and service was good too. Pleasant polite staff and a nice atmosphere Groups of friends meeting for lunch, tea and cake.

Pleasant enough pub for locals, however, as a non local just calling in for a pint and some food, “if you haven’t booked a table no food available”. Seriously….. Crisps are lovely tbf….
