The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

I booked this property months ago, just to have a rude lady calling today to say that they need to cancel because its been overbooked and the other party booked 3 rooms so they have to cancel my booking. I told her this is not acceptable as we booked for a wedding and its in 11 days her answer to me was that she is not calling to argue with me but just to let me know that they are cancelling and that they were trying to call me many times-not true. I had a message on 21st Oct from them on booking dot com, which I didn't see (i already had an email confirmation so wasn't checking, that the booking was confirmed) stating that they having some essential maintenance not that they over overbooked. So with 11 days to the wedding we are left without accommodation. I would avoid booking this place so you don't have to panic on a last minute like me now.

Food was not good ,cold veg chewy beef (couldn't eat it) and 2 tiny roasties on dinner ,expected a lot more for money

Sorry but I went for Sunday lunch and I really wasn't impressed. The roast potatoes were small and not crispy in the slightest and the Yorkshire pudding though big had a funny after taste and was slightly over cooked. I don't know whether the fat was old but I didn't eat them

A lovely lig fire burning as well arrived Kate afternoon made it feel cosy from the start. A charming lady behind the bar made us welcome and had a nice natter with us about times past for the pub and what it's like now. Drinks swiftly served and as driving a very nice cola for myself but my wife enjoyed her glass of Merlot very much. Fish, chips and crushed peas for me with a pot of tarter sauce and grilled wedges of lemon. The fish was fresh and succulent then chips crisps outside and soft inside so what's not to like, well only my choice, but I do like mushy peas, but the crushed garden peas were nice. Mrs C opting for the pan roasted sea bass with ratatouille and tomato sauce. For dessert we had the Black Forest Waffle and the Sticky Toffee pudding. Both were excellent and a step above the average. Please keep it up and we will be back.

If you want to have dinner in Battersea dog home, this is the place to visit. Anyone with any sort of animal allergy, give this place a wide berth. The staff and food are very good, such a shame for the non animal lover

find the pub dark and cold needs a good clean also Dog walking around sat beginning when you had a bag of nuts not be going here again

We visited Ona Sunday lunchtime. The roast dinner was tasty and there was plenty of it! Meat was of a great quality. The young man that looked after us was really pleasant. I would recommend giving this place a try!! We will be back!!

Went for a family sunday dinner. We booked well in advance. To get to the table you have to walk through the main bar which was full of football fans shouting at the tv. Not a great welcome. Place was decorated lovely and the table was away from the busy bar. We all ordered, most of us a roast dinner and was then informed there was no chicken, belly of pork or beef so the only option was leg of lamb so we went for that. Waitress then came back to say there wasn't enough lamb so one of us had to compromise. The dinner arrived there was one small bowl of cauli cheese between 6 of us and was charged for an extra bowl £3.50. The dinner was small veg also came in little bowls and we ordered extra. The lamb was not was was on the menu. There was no leg and you got a coupke of slices of lamb. Waitress really tried her best but I felt she was very embarrassed. We ordered dessert, most of us cheesecake. Waitress returned to say only 1 cheesecake left. Why does this pub have no food? They knew we were coming well in advance. Food was nice not enough of it for the price. Staff were great can't fault them

Excellent food great service Well worth a visit

Great service from David, who made a family birthday lunch so much more enjoyable. The food was delicious and we had a cosy table by the roaring log fire. We will come again!

Lovely food, excellent service and great staff

Stopped by today 15/10/24 and found most of the staff very abrupt and indifferent. The drink was served without some of the ingredients but they made no attempt to say anything and when questioned just oh we’ve run out . Won’t return

Lovely food and really friendly staff. Our panninis were fantastic, thank you 👏

We had our wedding here on 06.09.2024 and the venue and staff were absolutely amazing. Service was perfect, the service during the dinner was spot on, it all ran so smoothly. Very organised and Anoop was brilliant at helping us bring our dream wedding to life. The meal was absolutely amazing, everyone was commenting how lovely it was. So grateful that Royal Arms were able to deliver such a special day for us. We were not the easiest crowd to manage (lots of drinking lol) but the staff were happy and polite, never once got a bad vibe from them. And the next morning they set breakfast up for us beautifully 🩷 couldn't wish for better service. We all loved the hotel rooms which were comfortable and the bridal suite is amazing. Thank you to Anoop and the Royal Arms team Lauren and Dane x

Taste’s excellent Well maintained Very hygienic
