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.

Very friendly and a good selection well prepared food. Consistently excellent. Now opens on Tuesdays as well. New owners May 24 so far so good and they now offer a full breakfast.

Attended this venue as a supplier for a wedding. Great venue and really helpful staff!

Wonderful bar. Lovely clientèle. Rob is an extremely hospitable, knowledgeable & helpful owner. Coul well become my regular, if I eventually settle in Radcliffe on Trent next year .....

We have been visiting the Chestnut on and off since it changed from the Cliff Inn so many a year, but Friday was the worst, don't get me wrong the Bar staff and serving staff are excellent, very attentive, polite and helpful, but if they get no back up from the Kitchen, they are embarrassed and uncomfortable taking orders and delivering food, we arrived on time and were seated at our reserved table, the waitress then gave us the menu and had to explain that the top three items on the menu were not available and there were no Pizza's either, this left three items to choose from and a list of sides, we should have left then !, we preceded to order with the food taking an age, on delivery the Large fish and chips was more like a mini fish and hundreds of chips, the burger was presented well and so were the sides, none of the food appeared to have been lovingly prepared but crisis managed, the wings were inedible the further we got down the plate, over all a not very pleasant experience, I appreciate that there have been problems with chef's at the Chestnut, but with such a reduced menu you don't need a Chef, someone should have rung us before we arrived to say there was a reduced menu, did we still want the reservation, rather than letting us turn up and be disappointed this is a great drinkers pub, but the food let them down this time in my opinion with the Manvers re-opening soon they need to get their act together sharpish

Very nice good value food and drinks.

Came across this place two weeks ago and have already been four times. Great selection of food and drinks, staff are all very friendly. I will see you again soon!

Heard mixed reviews but thought we’d try it. Vegetarian menu dull and we weren’t impressed by what we got. Wanted dessert and given menu but after 20 minutes we have up.

Decided to drop in for lunch instead of going to the Pub. Always love the service as it’s friendly and personal . Can’t go wrong with the food, it’s kinda basic but fresh and ‘it does what it says on the tin’ so to speak. Too be honest just love having a pot of tea , ( most places just do a mug’ Just struggle with the small china cups but that’s just my big sausage fingers . Will be back soon .

Simple menu, but definitely worth a visit if you like good pub grub!
