The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We stayed the night at the pub . They have rooms outside of the pub which are cosy and beautifully decorated and warm . Yummy mini shortbreads to have with a cuppa too . We ate at the pub which was lovely quality food and desserts were gorgeous . The staff were so lovely and helpful and couldn’t do enough for you . We had a lovely breakfast with plenty of choice in their beautiful dining room . I would highly recommend this place for a couples night away x Mr & Mrs sheppard

I normally love coming here for lunch. You get a good sized portion and it’s tasty. (I’ve often shared one meal with my husband) Unfortunately I came on Sunday and was very disappointed. I had the lamb stew and the portion was tiny. Baring in mind that I’ve had a gastric bypass and can only eat very small amounts of food, (think the size of a 3yos meal, I can’t normally finish a child’s meal) I ate all of the stew (and wanted more)! Also it wasn’t as tasty as usual. The gravy was thin and not well seasoned. My husband had the ham on sourdough special and while he enjoyed it, again it was quite small. I’m hoping that this is a one off and things will go back to normal because I do love coming here.

We were staying down the road at the Queens head, walked down the village and popped in here for a drink, what a great friendly little pub, Brian the landlord and his mum Linda, made us very welcome, we felt like part of the local community, we enjoyed so much we went back several times during our 2 night stay, and much preferred it to the Queens head. Thank you Brian and Linda for you hospitality. Julie G Shepperton.

Beer choice ok,but it's the sort of pub you go to Friday,Saturday to get laid.

HAD TO SEND MY MIXED GRILL BACK AS THE STEAK CAME OUT WELL DONE AS DID THE CHICKEN AND THE SAUSAGE THE BEST THING ON THE PLATE WAS THE CHIPS THEN THE OWNER QUESTIONED ME SO I GOT UP AND WALKED OUT NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN

Seeing as my review was removed I will try again! Stay away. I went to the so called “quiz night” and it was awful. You would have found a better atmosphere in a morgue. Hardly any there, no music, vile smell and it was dirty. I use to frequent the pub before lockdown and it was fantastic. It has apparently changed hands since and not for the better. I will definitely not be going back. The smell and filth were enough to put me off my beer let alone dreary feel to the place. Very sad to say that I will not be recommending a once lovely pub

After a walk around this pretty Northamptonshire village, with my friend and her dog, we had lunch in Maria’s kitchen. We were made very welcome and sat by a window with the sun coming in. The food was lovely. As vegetarians, we wondered what would be on the menu, but a great selection to choose from. Now we have found this gem we will be back.

What a great find! We celebrated a birthday here this past weekend and cannot recommend visiting yourself. The food, service and venue were exceptional. When we booked they knew we were celebrating a birthday and put balloons and a banner above our table especially and even provided a complimentary cake at the end. We will definitely be returning

Fabulous village local! Landlady and co are fabulous…. So welcoming! Great stone baked pizzas and nibbles served. Good old fashioned family friendly pub! Lucky to call it our local!

As a family of 4 we had a lovely Sunday dinner. Great service, food lovely and value for money, we will definitely go again. We was surprised there was not more people there. Finished off by a lovely walk around Melbourne.

After a long mornings work from 2am to 1pm I arranged to meet my wife for a chilled drink before heading home. We decided to meet and try out our local pub, The Lincoln Green as we understood it is under new owners and would like to support it.. Sadly on being asked if we were drinking only I was asked if we would go into the bar area. The lady was friendly and I have absolutely no issues with her as this is obviously(in my view) a very misguided policy. I informed her that we would not wish to do that as in the past we have found it cold with wooden floors which when the football is on makes it noisy. I have no issues with this in general as I enjoy watching football and make special trips to do so at pubs for the atmosphere but on this occasion myself and my wife just wanted a quiet, comfortable drink together. I explained this and added that the comfortable restaurant was totally empty. We were offered the chance begrudgingly to sit tucked around the corner as a large table(15 which soon turned to 8) was expected shortly. She declared that on this occasion we could but she had to state she couldn't promise in the future. I told her that we wouldn't waste our time trying in the future. We will just go straight to the CENTURION or HARROWS where we know we can sit in comfort and nice decoration for a quiet drink. Things I don't understand-1) if I was eating I would much prefer some atmosphere with some drinkers as opposed to an empty restaurant. 2) Had it been 11.30 with the possibility of a full restaurant I can understand not wishing to take tables but this was 2pm and totally empty. 3) we were not a noisy group who would be shouting and swearing and could spoil someone's dining experience 4) Surely a pub should be able to cater for diners, sports and football fans AND couples hoping for just a nice drink. Sadly, unless this policy changes we will not be back(unless to watch the football)

Went here with my family and wasn’t disappointed. Excellent food, nice owner and friendly atmosphere.. would definitely go again

We visited here last night for my sons 18th birthday. The service, the food, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing and it totally made his birthday so special. The owners decorated everywhere up with banners and a balloon I had dropped off and nothing was too much trouble. The food was spectacular and freshly made which is always nice, fantastic choice of food at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be returning and will highly recommend this beautiful establishment to all our friends and family. Mark and Rachel should be proud of this beautiful gem of a pub they have created as it is just such a wonderful little hidden treasure. We will hopefully see you again very soon. Thanks for making Jake's 18th birthday so special and one to remember :)

The Plough is everything you could wish for in a country pub. Beautifully kept beer, cosy interior, always a warm welcome, good food and an absolutely stunning beer garden. The place is clearly loved by everyone in the community and with good reason. As a newcomer to the village I really appreciated the warm welcome. Highly recommended!

The did was delicious. I had the venison rage and my husband the fish and chips. Excellent, tentative service in a lovely environment. Highly recommend
