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.

I didn’t even know this restaurant existed but it was recommended & we gave it a go and were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is very intimate and we loved the vibe inside. The menu had some really good choices, we both went for the scallops to start and then salmon. Both dishes were beautifully presented, and delicious! Service was friendly, quick and very polite. Really impressed and will definitely return!

Just what to say a big thank you for the owner of Forteys for letting us use there upstairs for a polar bear event with the town Christmas lights switch on last year.

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.

An excellent half term brunch with the kids, staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

You must come and check out the Chesterfield at least once! The vibes are great, the food is very nice and let’s be real - you come for the staff. Miss Taylor is an absolute star and if you ever have a problem make sure to go to her! Love a good night out to the Chesterfield!

We went to the Millwheel for early afternoon drinks with our friends. It turned out to a fabulous evening as it was on 31 December 24 and we had our drinks and pizza in the cosy part of the bar where the fire was lit and it was nice and cosy. We then when upstairs to sit at the tables upstairs to see the new year in. There was a fantastic DJ playing music and the ambiance was terrific and we saw new years in for 2025 with our friends. We had an amazing time. Thanks to Ollie and his team. Would definitely recommend this pub to others. Thank you 😀😀😀😀😀

I have visited the Gate on many occasions and have never had a bad meal, Christmas Day definitely didn’t disappoint, very busy, very organised and the food and ambiance was fantastic.

Best carvery we have had (and we have tried a lot). You won’t want to go anywhere else once you have tried it. Great entertainment in the evenings and a family vibe from the staff and owners.

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
