The best restaurants serving British food in Melbourne South Derbyshire East Midlands

A good restaurant and also offers refreshments when you walk by

I come to U.K. quite frequently & this is one of the first places I always visit. The proprietors know me and are always friendly, know my regular Americana drink. The desserts are wonderful & the attention to service is always 1st class!! There’s always a table available. Be sure to take home some of the candies as they are special too! If you visit Melbourne, be sure to stop at Forteys for a coffee & special dessert treat!! You won’t be disappointed…I promise!!

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

I called in just before Christmas in search of some Turkish Delight. Yes they did have some but at a price that was a tad on the expensive side. When I said that it a bit steep, I was offered it at a good discount as "it is Christmas Eve". The quality was excellent and I will make a point of revisiting this place when I'm next in Melbourne

Went with 3 boys… Food was exceptional. Son who's 9 loved the French Onion soup which is surprising! 12 year old tried the burger which was good but the duck he tried and said next time he's having that. Third had the risotto (he likes white rice) … he was ok with it, just ok…ate my fries…bit flavoured for him. My fillet epic, salmon starter unbelievably good. Puddings of course… all excellent. Great sommelier. Just a great experience with 3 sons trying something new. So pleased.

There isn’t a ‘no dogs’ sign on the cafe door, so we went in - our dog lay quietly under the table. After ten mins, we were told by a member of staff that dogs were not allowed inside. On asking why, she didn’t know. If you have a ‘no dogs inside’ policy, please ensure a) your staff can explain why, and b) that reason withstands scrutiny. After all, it wasn’t that long ago you tolerated smoking inside! Oh, and the coffee could be better.

Chips were ok, as was the curry sauce and mushy peas. The fish was another story! Greasy, the fish was mushy and grey. I would be ashamed to serve that! The worse fish we have ever had.

As a family of 4 we had a lovely Sunday dinner. Great service, food lovely and value for money, we will definitely go again. We was surprised there was not more people there. Finished off by a lovely walk around Melbourne.
