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!!!

Travelling alone, I stayed one night in this wonderful historic hotel, and received a very good evening meal in the restaurant. The location is absolutely central (with excellent parking) and could not be better for enjoying the charms of Southwell and surrounds. The owners have carried out redecoration and a thorough spring-clean during lockdown, which made everything feel fresh and welcoming and showed off all the historical features and antiquities to their best. Everything was in tip-top condition. My room was bright, fresh and very comfortable and my dog was made very welcome. Breakfast was excellent with lots of fresh fruit. The staff were dedicated and attentive. I highly recommend.

We had the Famous Filthy Kebab - it was excellent! The vegan slices were really tasty and aioli was scrumptious! Service was great and super friendly.

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.

En primer lugar, el nuevo salón de comidas. Por favor, por favor, ¿quién soñó que necesita un dulce olor a chocolate impregnando todo el salón de comidas y más allá en la tienda principal? También sienta pena por el pobre personal que tiene que soportar todo su turno en la caja. No puedo ver ninguna razón para esto. Ciertamente no es para mi beneficio, preferiría que estuvieran sentados. Prefiero tomar un café en la cafetería de abajo. Todo el personal es amable y trabaja duro.

Lovely little cafe with great choice of brunch options and cake. Lots of tea and coffee options.Staff were friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely evening with a log fire, excellent fish & chip & good company. The owners couldn't do enough for us made us feel so welcomed. Eaten here a few times & have never been dissapointed. Looking forward to our next visit.

What a refreshing change to go to a Tesco store and find they have a proper café in situ. My local Tesco changed to Costa some years ago and it is dire in there, noisy, very expensive and very limited on choice. The café in Tesco Worksop is wonderful, clean, bright, great value for money and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I visit my sister who is in a local Nursing Home and the Tesco café has proved a godsend for somewhere comfortable and reasonably priced to get food and drink. Long may it last, wish my local store still had its decent café.

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.

A first class meal, without blaring music, you could really relax and enjoy the conversation . We both chose the steak and it was as good as any I have ever eaten.

Poor service, order was not taken until we had been sat for 1hr 30. When food was served, potatoes and veg were cold except where gravy was poured. Starter was not as ordered. Altogether a great disappointment for a Fathers day meal.

Unfortunately wasn’t very happy, with the last couple of visits we have visited breakfast is usually lovely, but the last couple of visits now and the sausages had no colour on the outside at all and when you cut into them, they were raw!.put us off our breakfasts! The staff member was polite and apologetic, not charging for the faulty food, unfortunately she said it was busy, this is no excuse, a separate person cooks the hot food the drinks and cakes are served by other staff, we were the only ones with a cooked breakfast, everyone else had cake and tea!. What a shame, as we use it quite often!.

Good selection of warm and cold food. Sausage rolls and warm cobs/baps were lovely. Next to cycle shop for repairs and rent. Both right by Tissington trail and not far from high peak trail.

Some reviews say staff are extremely pleasant, professional & kind to all customers, I did not find this today - so much so I won't go there again. I am usualy really keen to support all local businesses. Staff attitudes are really odd.

I got a pasty and it was stone cold like come on greggs I like you and all but this just ain’t it fr
