The best restaurants serving British food in South Derbyshire East Midlands

Well worth a visit lovely home made cakes fabulous setting everyone really friendly. Plenty of plants shrubs etc. including some very unusual different options.

I never write a review, but ive passed this place many times but never gone in till last month. I wish id gone before...the breakfast was the best ive tasted and the bacon is cooked to perfection. Staff are so friendly and welcoming, Ive gone back a couple of times now. They do buffets, take outs but not sure about delivery. Great little place.

A good restaurant and also offers refreshments when you walk by

I visit Fortey’s regularly- What a lovely place to eat and be sociable, the staff (owners) have always been extremely helpful and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. As for the ridiculous review placed by Samaneh Esfandyari - I hope people overlook that - as it is NOT an accurate representation- I was there at the time and she has clearly forgotten that the staff looked after the elderly gentleman whilst she parked her car ( that surely was helpful ??), he was quite capable of going up the stairs with help and as for Service charge - there is no service charge !! We all have to pay VAT for services provided!! I would recommend she go back to London and sit in a crammed / smog ridden and expensive cafe if that’s what she’s used to - quite the opposite of Fortey’s in Melbourne!!

We were invited to a friends surprise birthday party and fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and it’s stunning chandeliers. The service was excellent and the party couldn’t have gone better.

Lovely visit, very friendly staff, food was top notch and came quickly and it was nice and warm which was lovely on a cold autumn day. Would definitely go back. I had the chicken with Gnocchi which was superb

We came for the Wednesday night quiz and a carvery. Both were excellent. And I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Really quite bad experience culminating in paying restaurant prices for wines that are quite clearly bought from the local shop or supermarket!! How can an establishment expect members of the public to folk out almost £20 for a bottle of wine that cost no more that £5, literally around the corner!!

Been a few times now food is great always well cooked and very good value for money staff are friendly and helpful and easy free parking a absolute gem

Amazing food. My and my fiancée came for a meal and I couldn't recommend this place enough. The service was brilliant and the food was out of this world. I have heard the Sunday lunch is great I will definatly be trying that very soon.

Great home cooked food- burgers were top quality. Really friendly owners who took time to chat. Relaxed atmosphere. We will be back!

Very friendly staff, lovely feel to the cafe, only had cake and coffee but both were very good. Dog friendly and lovely grounds to give the pooch a run in.

This is really now called Bumblebees! I brought a couple of friends here for coffee this morning and had a wonderful time. We were struck by the warm and friendly welcome and the freshly decorated surroundings. Nice menu, everything freshly prepared and reasonably priced. My pumpkin spiced latte was delicious. We will be back for more!

We chose here for a small gathering of colleagues/friends for a works Christmas party. We had the room upstairs which was the perfect size, gorgeous decor, comfy chairs. We could use an Alexa for background music and drinks available downstairs at the bar. We were able to order in pizzas for delivery which was great and a cheap option between us all. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A great night had by all
