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.

Reasonable selection of beers and drinks. Could do with more attention to cleanliness of tables. Good place for meeting friends late though.

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.

Great place to stay, would come here again. After seeing quite a few negative reviews, we were nervous about staying here, but we only have positive comments to make - lovely cosy little room, great shower, nice view over the village. Downstairs in the bar area looks really nice. We stayed on a Friday and it was lovely and quiet, no bands. I had no problem booking through wowcher (although I had to phone to sort it after having no reply via email). All staff friendly and accommodating. Had a lovely breakfast before we left and the owner was happy to let us leave the car for a few hours so that we could do a walk to Milldale (also asked if we needed directions).

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

We held our mums wake after her funeral yesterday at Lockeeper. The food and the staff were brilliant. Claire & Natalie went above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Thanks for everything to you all. Regards Lesley & James

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.

Mis amigos y yo asistimos por algo de comida y bebidas y lo pasamos muy bien. Mención especial al nuevo manager Steve que era muy atento y un buen chico para charlar también

Had a pint that was flat all the staff did was change the glass with the same drink then topped up with a splash was still flat .

Had lunch here,ordered seafood platter for 2 it was very nicely presented and delicious. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Had the dog with us so didn’t go into the main part of the pub but it all looked clean and nicely decorated.

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.
