The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

5 came for birthday lunch. Excellent meal, good value for money and very friendly staff. This is the second time we have visited for a ladies that lunch date.

A wonderful welcoming country pub of the very best sort! Best pint we had in ages. Truly, this is everything you could wish for. Highly recommend a visit. It's an absolute jewel!

Elegido aquí para la cena del domingo con la familia. Ligeramente decepcionado ya que el personal parecía estar atento cuando llegamos por primera vez y luego nos sentimos abandonados. El pedido fue tomado para la comida después de 15 minutos de llegar, pero luego tuvo que esperar casi una hora para nuestra red y tuvo que preguntar como cada otra mesa estaban comiendo. La comida llegó y era abundante, sin embargo, se sirvió tibia en lugar de caliente. Creemos que nos habían olvidado. Volverá en una fecha posterior y espero recibir un servicio más atento la próxima vez.

Popped in here while passing and was not disappointed. Good value and excellent quality food. Great service and friendly staff. Get there early if you want a seat as its so popular!

Gravy & stuffing was delish chips were nice rest of the food wasnt the best but after paying for the food you are put off eating it by the smell of wet dogs which seem to be more in there than people! I dont agree with dogs being let in a place food is served but if needed maybe have a seperate place for the diners with dogs!

Nice pub ! Lovely pub Paul and Rachael are really great. Good real ale and friendly atmosphere.

Lovely coffee shop with really great menu options. They switch up the menu fairly often and the flavour options are always really unique. Great interior and exterior, friendly staff & good coffee!

First time visit and very impressed. Had lunch which was delicious, freshly cooked, hot and nicely presented. Lots to see inside and lovely healthy plants for the garden outside . Will visit again as the breakfast menus looked good 😊

Great breakfast and service excellent, food good value as well. However…..£3.69 for ‘tea for two’ one cup each and one tea bag! Takes the shine off the visit completely.

Whenever I find myself in Newark this is the place to stay, close enough to the center and has ample parking. Rooms are clean and warm, the staff always make you feel welcome

Avoid ! As previously stated had ups & downs over the years and it’s rock bottom now ! Inside grubby / dirty and outside area very very neglected too-don’t go !

Went for Sunday lunch to celebrate with a friend who was 66 on the Monday. Booked in for 1230 arrived just a few minutes earlier met with a warm welcome and shown to our table Placed our food order at the bar and got drinks delivered to the table Food was delivered to our table a few minutes later and what a wonderful display of food some ordered beef and some pork and it was all absolutely delicious couldn’t believe how good it was. I would like to thank the chef and all the staff especially the landlady who made our visit so enjoyable. We will definitely be back here very soon.

We sat squashed up on a couple of tables, the food took ages to come out, we found to food to be not as advertised, staff friendly though! Of note and odd to us was that they only take cash, no other forms of payment at all, and at 10pm we were told to leave our table or sit with the smokers as where we were sitting becomes a smoking area after 10pm! Not the Shisha that they do in the back room, but actual cigarettes! I didnt believe what they said so asked for an ashtray... and got one. Needless to say we left, not to return I am afraid.

Went for an evening meal in the restaurant. Ordered a burger, doubled the fries, onion rings and vegetarian bbq cauliflower bites for my partner because she's lactose intolerant. The person behind the bar came back saying they couldn't do the bites because they are cooked in the same fryer as things with milk in there for they aren't vegetarian are they? When the food came I didn't have any onion rings and not many chips at all. Complained at the bar and was told that I apparently never asked to double chips which I clearly remember doing and once the chef was asked about the onions rings I got the excuse that she forgot because she was busy, there was 2 other tables which had 4 people on and they had already been served their food. If you can't get orders right with that many customers then I dread to think what it's like on a weekend. Got the onion rings 5 mins later after id already ate my whole meal. Overall the food was meh, it wasn't anything special at all and you could get tastier for less elsewhere. Person behind the bar was friendly and apologetic so that's a plus I suppose, won't be going again. Youd be better off visiting a spoons.

Although it states vegetarian friendly the choice is poor. They used to do veggie meals but I was told they was no demand for veggie meals so stopped going. You don't always want panini or prawn jacket spud!!
