The best restaurants serving British food in South Derbyshire East Midlands

The seven wells is a delightful place to visit the staff are really nice and the food is delicious I’ve been there about 10 time and every time it has been good

The mount pleasant inn is closed, it is currently going to auction.

The Breakfast was outstanding, really good quality produce and plenty of it, great value for money even the drinks were included, service was great with lovely friendly staff who were very attentive, we will definitely be back and have already recommended to friends and family ☺️

I regularly come to Oakland Village whenever I can. I've been here before for work functions and just for lunch and always found the food and atmosphere to be really great! The staff and manager have always been really friendly and accommodating, and whether it's a buffet or burger I've never been disappointed. Definitely worth a visit :)

Went for lunch with a friend. I only wanted a sandwich, but was really disappointed. No choice of bread , not even white or brown, and the sandwich was 2 slices of thick, processed white bread with some very average ham and processed cheese. There was a salad garnish. No offer of mustard although there was mayo in sachets on the table. The sandwich was plonked down by a grumpy lady who seemed miffed that a large party had recently arrived and were ordering their drinks from the bar. The pub had been recommended to me, but I won’t be going back.

Lovely team there who are very welcoming. Usual selection of drinks and snacks. Nice place to relax and meet friends. Recommended.

Lovely pub to visit offering a great choice of home made food. Value for money and portions generous. Service great and friendly staff . Overall highly recommend. Beer good as well .

Had the Planter breakfast and my friends had the stack. Service was adequate, asked if I had a planters card - had no idea what this was so said no - wasn’t informed what it was and that was that. Couldn’t process more than a request at a time and felt like lots of questions asked for a simple request of an americano. After about 15 mins the food arrived, hot. My plate with baked beans appeared to lack the juice that goes with the beans and the tomatoes were chopped albeit fresh. The stack wasn’t worth the price, as for slightly note the breakfast was way better value. Hot drinks felt expensive - over £3 for a cup of tea!! Pleasant enough. Not worth a special trip.

I was enjoying a pint outside the Boardwalk in the afternoon on Sunday 27th October 2024 when one of the staff came around clearing the tables. She rather curtly enquired if I was ordering something as this was ‘the cafe area’ and the pub area was ‘over there’. It was a busy afternoon and I couldn’t see any places to sit ‘over there’. There is no signage to indicate the relevant cafe and bar areas – several types of tables are in use outside so the difference wasn’t obvious; it wasn’t evident that there even was a differentiation. Indeed, there were two vacant tables adjacent to mine, so it wasn’t as though I was preventing other customers from sitting down. I abandoned my drink and left the site immediately as I found the incident acutely embarrassing having taken place in front of other customers, and will not be returning. There is a clear need for improvement both in staff training in customer respect and courtesy; and in the signage outside the refreshment areas on the site. Subsequently, I contacted Mercia Marina who forwarded my e-mail to the relevant establishment on-site but they did not even deign to reply. Clearly, they have no interest in customer satisfaction. Mercia Marina needs to take responsibility for all the businesses in situ, as shortcomings in one outlet reflect badly on the reputation of the entire site.

I remember the hotel 20 + years ago. For 4 years I organised a Christmas celebration for our friends & neighbours as we all had young families & it was local giving us all a perfect opportunity have a pre - Christmas celebration & be able to walk home too! Oh how it has changed , not for the better. Last year I attended the Lots4Tots awards & everything was fine 🙂 A year later not only had the department run out of Prosecco there was no Gavi available either the house wine was rough too so I was definitely aboiding that. A drymartini & tonis was £12 tge next round my friend bought was the same , a diet coke £10.50 odd to say the least! The organiser Beth puts so much effort into this annual award for local child based businesses & you totally let her down. The poor girl serving in the ante room bar outside the 2 function rooms was getting so much grief bless her she was close to tears. The blue pre dinner cocktail looked unappetising & tasted vile. Prosecco was obviously the better alternative hence why u sold old - not a good move. The meal was OK & hot tho the garlic mushrooms tasted delicious I can't understand shy someone decided to serve them on a soggy hash brown- a new one on me!! The function supervisor was efficient but chewed gum all night - not a good look. As a former hospitality manager the impression I got is that owners are running the place into the ground. I hope someone has the decency to apologise to Beth the organiser & in the future if you want to attract local businesses [if you are still operating] you really need to pull your socks up. I'm not in the habit of complaining but this time I felt I had to. Please get your act together as its a lovely local venue

Hotel godny polecenia. Wysoki standard. Obsługa pierwsza klasa. Pokój duży, nowoczesny, czysty. Jedzenie bardzo smaczne. Animacje są prowadzone przez najlepszą ekipę! Codziennie duża dawka śmiechu i zabawy. Nie da się nudzić w tym hotelu. Tydzień to za mało ;) Piękna piaszczysta plaża 🏖️

My wife and I have just spent two nights here. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The breakfast choices were very good, quality products well cooked and presented. We ate evening meal twice, and were impressed with them both nights. I was particularly amazed at the Smoked Haddock and Prawn Curry with wild rice. I have eaten in many establishments around the world but have to that this was probably the best curry dish I have ever had. The quality, quantity of fish, and taste, were fantastic. Well done Chef Andy ! Lastly I have name drop the wonderful Ruth. To be a truly brilliant customer-facing member of any team you have to have knowledge, empathy, charisma, and a big smile. Ruth has all of these qualities in abundance. She is a real asset to your team, and a role model to any young person who wants to work in hospitality. I trust that you know what a diamond you have. It’s a shame that we could only stay two nights. Thank you.

My wife and I visited on a Saturday morning after hearing good things about this place but I am sorry to say that we were disappointed with the overpriced breakfast. Small tasteless sausages, cheap black pudding and strange fried eggs. I expected better for £10.95.

Popped in for a cheeky take away carvery, absolutly excellent service from Nessy and Tim 🥰 they made my day! Beautiful food as always

Demi was amazing she was so nice and we could hold a conversation with her she recommend us a wine which we loved. There so lucky to have a girl like her.
