The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We bought a Groupon offer based on the picture on the advert on Groupon. All we got was 3 tiny finger sandwiches with minimal filling. A cheese straw which was half the size shown in the picture. No pork pie. No sausage rolls etc. A packet of crisps shared between us. Scones were nice but our cakes were cherry slice which was topped with a very runny icing & a tiny child size fairy cake topped with hundreds & thousands. Don't let the pictures fool you!!!

I don't go into coffee shops alone. Had 40mins to while away.Saturday early afternoon Good coffee and tea cake. Lovely attentive lady serving.Shame they where out of cheese scones. Nice safe cafe for timid singles.

My friend and I booked for lunch on Thursday, lovely pub very friendly, I had a steak pie that was fine my friend had a chicken that was lovely, then we ordered desserts mine a chocolate brownie with salted caramel, it was all chocolate and chocolate sauce my friend had apple crumble , it came in a dish which was full of what looked and tasted like apple sauce with a tiny sprinkle of crumble on top we were both disappointed, my friend left nearly all of his, we mentioned it to the young barman and asked him to mention it to chef, we sat for a while longer then went to pay our bill, and I asked the young barman what was the chefs reply and he told us oh I didn’t tell him, my criticism was constructive and I’m disappointed he didn’t mention it so chef could put it right for the next customer.

Terrible, took 20 mins, for large chips and currys from taking order. Portion size was very small. It seems they taking advantage that they only chippy in woodhouse.

This was our first visit and will definitely not be the last. A warm friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in is always a good sign and that's what we got. We were a large table of 6 adults and 2 children and were given a table in a secluded nook which was great and much appreciated. We all ordered different dishes and they were all first rate. Our meals included traditional fish and chips, sizzling fajitas and steak. Each dish was well presented and tasted amazing. The portion size was plentiful.

Excellent breakfast, very tasty and well presented. Great service from the lady there. Obviously popular with locals as there was a nice small group of ladies meeting for coffee and cake at the next table. Just the place to set me and my mum up for the afternoon

poor food quality and poor hygiene on the tables and no sanitization between customers not even a table wipe.

Food was good, service let it down by bringing starters out with the main meals. Rather disappointing as the starters were ordered as starters and not sides:

Los jueves esta pequeña cafetería tiene un evento social para comer. Corre desde las 4 pm a 6 pm y por £2.50 se puede disfrutar de una comida de 3 platos. El sonido demasiado bueno para ser verdad bien no lo es. Es un menú fijo así que si no te gusta lo que está en oferta no hay opción y la porción tamaños no son enormes, pero es buena comida casera de calidad y seamos honestos se puede preparar una comida de tres platos por £2.50 porque yo no podía . El personal es encantador y el servicio es excelente y es realmente una buena relación calidad-precio. Voy más semanas y lo recomiendo.

Everything is just deep fried. Sausages straight into the fryer then burnt to a crisp on the grill, black pudding straight out of the freezer into the microwave then deep fryer. Money touched then straight back to food handling. Disgusting waste of £14. Straight in the bin

Called in today for our first visit. Received a warm welcome from staff members and were able to be seated as although it was busy lots of people had chosen to sit outdoors. Chose a carvery and we weren't disappointed, choice of 3 meats all cooked beautifully, nice choice of fresh vegetables. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and you weren't bombarded by staff as soon as you started eating asking if it was alright. We were approached but had at least had a chance to have eaten some of the meal! Will definitely be returning here again.

Went today to have coffee the cafe was so so busy. We have been quite a few times and never had a problem. The staff are so nice and work so hard nothing it to much trouble for them. Feel for the staff at times as people are so rude to them and shout at them. there is no need at all!! They all do their best for everyone. Give them a break!!!

1st time with mega bites, i had a breakfast delivered amongst other food for my colleagues.....awful! My breakfast had no toast, no black pudding, no mushrooms, egg cooked hard and hash brown extremely soggy with grease. Other colleagues had food missing too and said full of grease and chips disgusting. 1st impressions stick, will never go back!

Sunday evening, only had half the food on menu. Given burnt pizza was told hope you like it well done. Puppercorn sauce looked like chicken soup which was not eaten.

We were impressed by the quality of the chips and burgers we had, plus the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only down side is possibly that the menu of food available is a bit limited especially for vegetarians, but none the less would recommend a visit if only to sample the chips.
