The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Alway welcoming and friendly and food is fresh and hot .. one of my favourites in Leicester defo one to visit

Lovely afternoon tea scones beautiful with jam and cream the cakes was nice too it was my friends birthday so a lovely treat for her

We thoroughly enjoyed a family dinner at the Lurcher. Food was well cooked, nicely presented and reasonably priced. Staff were nice, friendly and made us welcome. The only criticism (from our personal point of view) was that one of the customers sitting at the bar was allowed to vape indoors, he also brought his dog in (type of bully or something similar) who we had to pass on our way to the sitting area and again going back and to the bathroom. The dog was walking free and although it looked friendly I felt uneasy whilst visiting with children :(

Very Good Food at reasonable price. Ample servings. Try the Pies wit Gravy. Very delicious I will definitely be back again in the future.

Good food, clean and good friendly service. Reasonably priced. Very hospitable. We would recommend and return to if we visit Alford again. Family friendly.

Although the service in the cafe was slow and the staff forgot to bring me my order, the food was actually very tasty. However, the visit to the toilet was horrendous - the toilet seat in the unisex, accessible toilet had been left up to, to expose the most disgusting orange/brown urine staining (see photo's). I reported this to the store manager, who couldn't have been less interested - despite me showing her the toilet seat, she offered no apology, smiled and stated that it had already been reported and she was already aware of it. I believe she said that it was being addressed next week, so if anyone needs the toilet, you may be better to cross your legs until you can find somewhere more sanitary to use! Very annoyingly, the manager saw fit to speak to somebody on her headset whilst I was talking to her - really disrespectful and patronising. Really not the standard that I expected from Waitrose!

We normally order through just eat and normally excellent but tonight the order was disgusting inedible, on investigation it looks like new owners , chips hard , pies rock hard over microwaved , peas so thick n cold , won’t be ordering again

10/10 Lovely Fresh Food! The ploughman’s baguette, was the most tasteful thing I’ve ever tried! So yummy! Clean and the staff are friendly the two ladies. I would definitely try the breakfast next time! You must go! Toastier and baguettes are the one!

Very clean & friendly had delicious meals really impressed will use again family also impressed were pleased with prices very reasonable

Been there several times since moving to Corby, staff always friendly. Usually order large cod and chips I split it in 2 and freeze half.

Hidden away a little but well worth finding. I can honestly say that this was the best breakfast I have ever eaten in a Café. Eggs cooked perfect, Mushrooms well done, Sausage cooked thoroughly and Bacon as I like it. even threw in a Fried Bread as I don't like Black Pudding! congratulations guys, see you soon.

5 star treatment especially Pzmak and excellent food too . A special thank you to Jeremy for organising it .👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Asked for a lightly battered fish. Fish we got had very thick batter and was very very greasy it was disgusting and very disappointing it went in the bin ,waste of money, chips were also very poor all ends. I would not call this place a gastro chippy. The amount you pay for fish and chips should be better quality

Had been for Sunday lunch and were so impressed went back for evening meal later in the week Again we were very impressed . Food, service, ambience, and everything about the visit was both relaxing and pleasurable

We`d just finished a Croughton circular walk, and needed "refreshment" afterwards. One of the locals said hello as we walked in. Staff were friendly, and there was Tribute, Wainwrights and Directors on tap. I went for the Directors, which was very good. The menu was on the wall, and was varied, lots of it homemade, and great value for money. Sadly, we`re quite a drive away, otherwise it would be become my local. Note to self: have a meal BEFORE going on Croughton circular walk.
