The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Interesting place. Reasonable menu. Risotto spoilt by being overcooked, more like rice pudding. Also surprised that three of the glasses of wine I chose were out ot stock but still on the drinks menu

Perfect country pub with outstanding home cooked food. A fantastic atmosphere and the service from the staff is second to none. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants a perfect country pub visit.

Stayed here a few times now and always found the rooms clean and warm with comfortable beds. As for the bar area, plenty of real ales with 3 on while we stayed. Food, was fab. Both breakfast and evening meal cooked to order. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Tip: If you fancy a pint in the evening getting back early, as sometimes they close if not busy.

Absolutely woeful. Started off with two dirty glasses. But that was just foreplay. Rib Eye Steak was desperate - when I sent it back I was offered a complimentary desert or drink. My partner ordered medium/rare fillet steak. It was burnt to a crisp. Furthermore accompanying corn on the cob must have been slow boiled for a week as it turned into mush the moment you sunk your teeth into it. Without doubt, one of the worst food experiences ever. I would not send my enemies there.

Not sure what’s going on with this place, been shut for nearly a year, no communication from the owners or updates about an opening date. Very sad.

An excellent day here today! The food was very high quality, and large sized proportions! The staff were very friendly and very happy to spend time with us, talking about rock bands and Mexican food! I would highly recommend a visit here.

He tratado de dar a este lugar el beneficio de la duda manteniendo una crítica ya que solía ser mi chippy favorito. ¡Pero en las últimas tres ocasiones he llegado a casa para encontrar la comida equivocada, la comida poco cocinada y ahora apenas comida! Esta noche pedí unas patatas fritas medianas y recibí este pobre esfuerzo. Simplemente siente que claramente ya no queda ningún cuidado o estándar en el lugar, lo que es una pena. No volveré de nuevo.

Good pub... probably overdue modernising inside and out. Brilliant bar staff.

We were recommended The Grange by a friend to try breakfast and we were glad we stopped off here! We were on our way to Nottingham for the day so decided to stop at the Grange on the way for breakfast. We loved the set up and the décor of the restaurant, French ski chalet style! The fire was going and it felt so cosy, we could see it was clearly a popular place with all the table reservations for lunch set up. We had The Grange Breakfast Muffin and the Light English Breakfast with two americanos. The food was very nice and the staff were very pleasant. We will definitely return to have breakfast again and try some lunch dishes too.

We had a really lovely post-lockdown meal here and it did not disappoint! The starters (lamb scrumpet and pea bruschetta) were a fantastic way to start the meal and our mains were delicious. The sea bass skin was perfectly crisp and the accompaniments went with it perfectly. Although the steak looked small it was more than enough and full of flavour. The house red wine was affordable and delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly and made it a really enjoyable evening.

We stayed in this attractive village inn for two nights to attend a wedding. The inn is set in the gorgeous village of Eydon, which is full of pretty honey stoned cottages and an interesting church dating from the 12th century. It was delightful to walk around. Our bedroom at the inn was spacious and beautifully decorated, with thought and attention having been given to decor and textiles. There were two bathroom areas, one with a shower and one with a fabulous cast iron bath that begs to be used! We booked a full English for our first morning. It was delicious, contained every imaginable component and was so vast we shared it between us. The proprietors, Nathan and Gemma, were friendly and helpful and very attentive. I would thoroughly recommend this hostelry for a weekend or longer stay.

We came across this fabulous restaurant by chance and what a delightful discovery it was! The food was truly incredible, clearly crafted with passion and proved to be both mouthwateringly delicious and beautifully presented. The staff were helpful and friendly. Lovely weather, a picturesque waterside view and amazing food, we couldn't ask for more and it was just what we needed. Thank you to you all, we will certainly be back!

Happened upon this lovely pub when out for a ride on our motorbikes. Very nice atmosphere and a well presented pub, coupled with drinks that were nice and not overpriced and a friendly smile from the bar staff.

Some friends and I went to the crown for a meal and a catch-up. The food was tasty but nothing mind blowing. The waitress we were served by was painfully loud, wouldn’t stop shouting across the pub to communicate when there was absolutely no need and continuously chased and got chased around by the manager (seemingly arguing), in and out the kitchen, disappearing for 5 minutes at a time so my group and other customers were left wondering where the staff were. what a shame.

Had a few fish & chips meals here since Sam had gone. Doesn't smell or taste the same anymore since I first had it in 1969, but still, if you want fish & chips, it's no worse than others. However, this time, I can taste a bit of rancidity, never happened when Sam was in charge. Maybe I went just before changing the oil. Bad luck on my part.
