The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Lovely Pub. Nice welcoming staff and the food is better than expected from a chain Pub.

Great food and extremely helpful and friendly staff. Great location. Would definitely come here again when we are in the area.

We had a good breakfast for two

Amazing service as usual. Served by lucy today and she was lovely, so friendly and attentive made dinner a pleasure. Food was bang on couldn't fault it at all. Delicious chicken as always. Will 100% be returning. Most likely again this week. Affordable and yummy 10/10

Absolutely lovely food, we had 2 burgers with bbq pulled pork and some halloumi as a starter instead of a small plate. My husband had the sticky toffee pudding which he said was delicious less than £50 for all that food excluding drinks which were actually resonably priced for Bakewell area. Me and my husband were very impressed. The atmosphere was laid back but professional. We felt very comfortable here.

Absolutely horrible don't waste your money or your time...never again ever..

Cosy and busy little bar, very welcoming with a vast selection of 🍻

Rarely have a been so frustrated that I feel a need to leave a review while in the actual establishment and within 10 minutes of getting though the door. I have honestly never been to a place that has SO MANY staff on shift, with SO LITTLE actual work being done. I will say this isn't down to a one off or down to it being overly busy, the reality is that it's always like this, or at least it has been from my experience. My main issue today and just about every time I have been to this establishment is the incredibly SLOW service. It took over 10 minutes for someone to take my drinks order (no queue I might add), only one member of staff was seemingly capable of serving drinks it seems. All the other staff were merely scattered around the bar area purely for decoration it seems. I counted 4 staff members in the bar area during this time, two of which even stopped to make comment but do nothing (shocker!) I will be totally honest if this place didn't have an indoor play area I would even bother coming at all. I can only imagine this is the same for almost every other person visiting. I can only imagine it's the only reason the place is still in business, because it sure as hell isn't the service. The management in this establishment NEED to buck up OR be replaced by more competent people. As the current management are more than half the establishments problem, they don't direct the staff members to busy areas OR even look willing to chip and help out where needed (outside of showing people to their seats, which took two of them it took today).

Delicious top notch food and wines, mosty Spanish in style. It's a wine bar, too, so you can try many different styles of wine. We shared a Salad Remolacha which was phenomenal and Argentine style empanadas. Both SO GOOD! We ordered a red Priorat wine which complemented our meal very well. Something different on the central coast! It's in an unusual location, but worth the hunt.

Great experience, I was visiting the Peak District for a month, with my grandson, we had lunch at the Red Lion on our first day ,we were so impressed with the quality of the food and friendly service, we returned seven times, before we returned to Australia. Two of the staff were amazing and made our visits special, Chelsea and Kristina, we consider them as friends . Hopefully we can enjoy the amazing food and service next year.

We visit this Toby almost every week and we always enjoy the carvery and we receive excellent, friendly customer service from the staff especially Leanne and kylie.

We booked a table for 9 at short notice and was very impressed with the pub, the service and most of all the food - I loved the pie

I was with my son and my ex, when we decided that we should have breakfast so we had the large breakfast but I ended up bringing mine home in a box because I couldn't eat it all but it was absolutely delicious. My son and ex ate most of theirs.

Waited for nearly an hour for food, when there was hardly any people in the place! No apology for lateness! Disgusting service!

After calling in for late afternoon drinks, we booked a table in restaurant for a Friday evening meal. I would recommend their Spring Ale for beer drinkers accompanied by their home made pork scratching. In May Friday night dinners are half price. The food and service were excellent and the dining room has tables well spread out so conversation is easy. The place combines the quaint ancient pub with a modern and nicely decorated dining room.
