The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Such a shame. One lovely member of staff, a woman, super friendly and really nice. I came back after my walk and thought I'd call in for some food before heading home... Tall lad behind the bar was almost rude, he was that dismissive, I was polite and smiled, please and thank you etc... he was, I don't know, just rude actually. I ordered pulled pork dirty fries. Dirty fries, doesn't begin to describe the fries...they were obviously old fries, they'd been recooked, maybe more than once. Completely inedible.

Lovely atmosphere,great service, meals were tasty but portions were small. The costs were reasonable for food and drinks. Would definitely go again.

Lovely place, lovely staff, no draught keg beer on our visit? Jack managed replacement murphys stout? Brilliant location fotown centre, bus station and premier inn

Quaint little pub with beautiful decor and great real ale selection. Often has something going on such as folk music, history talks, board games, and craft groups. Food is absolutely stunning. No frills, affordable, and very well done. The barman is friendly and attentive and does not allow any nonsense to spoil the lovely atmosphere of the pub. (Also if you like silly puns he's your guy). I had my 30th birthday there and it was absolutely wonderful. Literally my favourite place to go in Northampton. If it ever closed I would grieve forever!

Went for bottomless brunch and was great! Staff were fantastic , drinks came quickly and food was brilliant! Would definitely come again! Thanks bar team!

Well I'm sorry to say that we didn't order any food, we saw the food on other people's plates & it didn't look very appertizing, so can't judge on the taste. We've been holidaying in Youlgrave for the past 17 years, we remember it when Jo & Shaun used to run it. Back then it was great food, well cooked, good service & nothing was too much trouble for them. We had the best Christmas lunch at the George, cooked by Jo. We've never forgotten how lovely it all was & we judge every other meal by it. It must be very hard work runnning any pub, but with the right people to steer it along, it could be great again... I do hope so! Until then we'll have to give it a miss.

The food and drink were great so it was a shame it wasn't quite hit enough. Despite the waitress offering to warm our dinners up we chose to continue eating as we were hungry. Great service as usual! Thank you 😊

Mesa no puesta, hora y media esperando bebidas golpeadas en el piso desde el bar, preguntando cuándo estaría lista nuestra comida rubia gerente seguía diciendo que salir ahora, no era buena comida obviamente se había sentado bajo las luces de calentamiento, seco y no agradable, gerente no podía ser molestado, nunca más

It was a huge disappointment. I had planned a relaxing spa day with my husband, but this place was nothing like a real spa. There were only two small cabins with a sauna and jacuzzi, hidden away in a scruffy corner of the hotel. Lounge chairs were awkwardly placed in the hallway. The outdoor pool was freezing, and of course, we got the usual speech about it being a "health pool," but that was just an excuse—it was simply a regular pool exposed to the rain. The lockers in the changing room didn’t even have keys. The moment I saw it all, I felt like crying.

Had roast beef here and was absolutely amazing.cooked slightly pink as requested.gravy was delicious and just generally all round top notch.grt selection of wines too black Shiraz is to die for.

La comida aquí siempre ha sido delicioso en cada visita y el personal es muy amable y servicial! ¡Muy recomendable! 😁

Booked for evening meal and we were seated in noisy room at the back of the restaurant. Poor lighting, uncomfortable chairs and tight for space made it uncomfortable. Noisy party at the next table with small children. Asked, bug no other tables available. On previous occasions we have had good food here, but on this occasion the food was just about average - chicken was tough and dry, our order was wrong and a meal had to be returned. Friends opted for cheesecake on my recommendation but it wasn’t great and the chocolate tasted stale. Sadly not the experience we had been looking forward to.

As ever food was delicious, the asparagus starters were beautifully cooked, between our party we had a mix of mains including the lamb and the beef, omg the melt in your mouth beef! Plenty of veg to accompany and was even offered an extra jug of gravy without asking. Puddings were also excellent (although one of us was so full they kindly boxed up his dessert so he could take it home!) staff were smiling and friendly both at the bar and while seated. Great value and a great lunch for two special days rolled into one. Thanks to all the team for working so hard to make everything so lovely.

Lovely old pub but the prices are high I was flabbergasted at the price of £9 for a tiny bottle of wine that holds one glass this is Boston the price for the same bottle in Covent Garden is £8. Meals also are expensive Reality is I won’t be going back

No words can describe how fantastic this pub is, this has become our regular and we have no faults! food is fantastic, we have started doing the bottomless gin afternoon tea ,again fantastic, great supply of Gin well looked after, cakes to die for! Highly recommend! Staff are fantastic and very welcoming! Location of the pub is great, sit in the comfort of the country pub or down by the river overlooking fields. Highly recommend this pub :)
