The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We happened to be passing and called in without pre-booking. This is clearly a popular place and had we arrived later I'm sure we'd have found all the tables fully booked, but we were shown to a table by a very helpful member of staff. The table and cutlery were clean, the food was good, the prices reasonable and the portions adequate. My pint of real ale was tasty and well kept. The customers in the bar were friendly and the service was polite, attentive and efficient; my only gripe was that we were seated by the door to the beer garden and the draught quickly blew my food cold with the constant comings and goings.

Wonderful food… pie as well as the homemade tartare sauce with the scampi. Andy always does amazing food… thanks! And a lovely warm atmosphere 😁

A wonderful place, me and my daughter who has special needs popped in for lunch having seen the pub on our way home. We had a fabulous welcome and all of the staff were wonderful with her, she felt very comfortable there and loved the experience. The food (Sunday dinner) was beautiful - very well cooked and great portion sizes. We will definitely make the trip there again another day.

Great place lovely people and great food stayed at the campsite and the staff couldn't be more helpful wonderful place!

Lovely location we will be back for an explore . Absolutely delicious 😋 food. Homity pie with mash greens and gravy - lamb pie with chips and greens - wonderful. Sundy roasts look amazing so will be booking next for those and have made plans with freinds to to come soon and will bring my son when home next. Really friendly pub ! Love it - I wonder what's on right move 🤔 every village is made better by it's local.and this will be no exception .

I’m not sure I’ve ever had such a bad bar meal ever. It’s situated in the most lovely area, full of beautiful little English villages, really pretty and well kept and lots of local Inns, and we got a recommendation to go here, the service was good, our server was really helpful and patient with the children, but the standard of the food was incredibly poor. We had quite a long wait and my lasagne was perfectly square and appeared to be of the freezer variety with very little by way of taste or real ingredients. Two large fish and chips came burnt and almost inedible and the children’s meals were not noteworthy. Really surprised and disappointed. £94 for a family of 5. Would not recommend.

The Anchor is a top pub. Paul is world class bartender. Great vibes. Love the local feel and cold beers. Have a game of darts as well.

Wonderful pub. Food fab and staff friendly. Highly recommended

Loved this place, very good atmosphere, carvery was lovely and the place was very busy which is always a good sign, would highly recommend. Always best to book as it's that busy.

Really lovely place in the summer and the winter

It was ok, cannot comment on the pub, as we were at a private function upstairs. Ladies toilets were a bit tired both upstairs and down , one loo seat was broken, the room looked a bit tired. But the small bar was ok and staff friendly. Out side catering ok, but nothing special.

Called in at lunchtime for a couple of ciabattas and a bowl of the cheesy chips. The bread when it arrived was stale and crumbly, complete waste of money. The chips were very good though ! Would have complained, but there only seemed to be one person working and he was rushed off his feet so it really didn’t seem fair.

Not open until the evening hours.

Excellent Xmas dinner had by all. Staff attentive and Santa even visited to ask each table if happy with their meal. A wonderful touch was a bunch of flowers gifted to the ladies after the meal.
