The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We have been before many times and thought what good value the lighter bites were and staff friendly. However we decided to have a loaded omelette which was loaded , but it was no bigger than 4 inches in diameter, chips were hard and it cost almost £11 miserable staff, who when I complained she just said they are normally that size, she did apologise, but got the impression it would not be reported back to the kitchen!!

Absolutely lovely place and love the girls funny,and can banter with ,,jolly place and clean,we got there at round time as no cooked food but came lovely

Booked for lunch for 2 and was surprised when entering a seemingly deserted place (no customers). Shown to the table of our choice. I ordered pulled pork terrine with onion relish and sourdough toast - absolutely delicious (might have preferred thinner slices of toast). For the main I ordered beer battered cod sandwich with fries and a portion of curry sauce. Fries were excellent, as was the cod sandwich (comprised of 2 cod pieces in batter with mayonnaise and a bed of minted peas all in a brioche bun). Too much to eat but excellent cooking.

Food good presentation could have been better, service excellent waitresses very good helpful and knowledgeable. My portion far too much mash which could have been presented better rather than plonked on plate. Would we come again yes because food locally sourced just needs fine tuning on the food. Hopefully this will be acknowledged as feedback and not criticism

Very poor value for money. Chips were scraps & thin. Lots of bad ones with black in them. Fish had no taste & very greasy. Presentation left a lot to be desired.

Buscando algo diferente - llama por teléfono y reserva una mesa al menos 24 horas antes de ir y discute lo que te gusta comer - pide algo diferente y disfruta de una comida magnífica. Si no tiene gluten / celiaco, este es un lugar perfecto para tener una comida preciosa y no el estilo ‘listo para usar’ tampoco, ni mucho menos. Alan constantemente produce comida deliciosa con porciones que se pueden variar según se solicite. De lo contrario, si se deja caer por - el menú es un gran estilo de pub y pudines para hacer sonreír a cualquiera. La cerveza es buena también con una gama decente de sidras. Gran espacio al aire libre para familias y reuniones también. El personal es muy acogedor y amable. Uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer frío y charlar.

We stumble across this little gem whilst in Mablethorpe. The kids were hank Marvin and we needed some snap quick upon entry it was very clean the staff was very friendly had a nice bit of banter . We orderd fish chips peas the peas were spot on nice and crispy chips with a fluffy centre . The fish fresh cooked to perfection full of flavour and the batter light and crisp it's a ten from this @fatladreviews

Great setting. Elegant dining room. But let down by slow service - one hour wait for food to be served - menu inaccurate, food appeared to have been kept warm in kitchen for too long, not good quality ingredients. For that quality overpriced.

A lovely quiet pub with great beer and fantastic food. After a day on the boat this is a great venue to relax and have a good meal before retiring back to the boat for the night.

Great pub and super friendly staff. 5 old mates(and CAMRA members) on a narrow boat trip last here 5 years ago. what a change! We had a lively evening with some hilarious banter with barperson/waitress Sianne. Steak and red wine meal deals good value and a pleasure to find a pub that didnt serve the dreaded Doombar. In Siannes words 'no self respecting pub should have Doombar'. Thoroughly recommended

Have just been to their firework display. What a fantastic evening. Very well organised. Plenty of refreshments although I would say they maybe need another one of two outside bars. The main bar was rammed! Worth the £5 each for entry. We’ll be back!

Lovely venue- came for a picnic with our 2 grandsons, one has special needs, we asked the staff if they minded us having a drink outside and eating our own prepared picnic. We were quite prepared to buy some drinks! We wanted to be able to enjoy the outside and not stress out our grandson or cause any disruption inside. She said no, it's licensed premises....we eventually found a bench near the lake- no table, we managed but it was not ideal. There were no shortage of tables......pity a little more consideration could have been given to those less fortunate....

Enjoyed a fabulous afternoon tea in the Mainsail Restaurant after a stroll around Carsington Water. Great value and fabulous sandwiches, cakes and proper scones with a generous helping of clotted cream.

After waiting 30 minutes for my food I got up to ask It it would be much longer. Then was told my order didn’t get put through to the kitchen. I don’t think they seemed very surprised or bothered about it. Ended up asking for a refund rather than having to wait any longer

We visited Nazz to celebrate my late husbands birthday as he loved a curry. Party of 21 ages from 3-62. Lovely staff, lovely food. Made to feel welcome as a family. My husband would have loved it.
