The best restaurants serving British food in Trent 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

Busy, with a superb range of beers.

Day of the Dead event, the music and atmosphere were fantastic, drinks not over expensive, but the food was awful Im afraid. We ordered the nachos which was unlike any nachos Ive had before, bland tasteless and soggy and a sharing dish that wasnt even enough for one person. I was expecting tortilla chips or totopos covered with cheese or cheese sauce, as well as a variety of other toppings and garnishes, ground spicy beef or grilled chicken vegetables (such as chili peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, and olives), and condiments such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Even if a small portion of these for the price. Instead..we got flavourless torilla chips not even salted, and most were soggy as sitting in a flavourless white sauce, also falvourless green mush and flavourless beans. I couldnt eat any of it and I hadnt eaten all day. My neice had Birra tacos which at least had a little flavour, but we were both very disappointed after hearing such good things about the food, and she had travelled all the way from Surrey

Great traditional English pub. Ale is good, and the staff are so friendly!!
