The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

What a lovely little gem. The room was amazing food great service very good. Would definitely would return.

Stopped off on the way home and immediately got a warm welcome from the guy in the nursery. Ordered a small breakfast and a bacon/egg roll. Black coffee and a cup of tea completed breakfast. Coffee was good and both cuppas were in big cups. My breakfast was well cooked and tasty, swapped the tomatoes for fried slice, beautiful. The bacon and egg roll was huge with a few rashers and an egg. Both eggs slightly overcooked but still a good meal. Price was at the top end of acceptable at £22 but good ingredients and service cost a lot nowadays

Quirky place... something a little different...such a shame they only take card payments... otherwise, we would have stayed longer

I have been going to Ambika for years and found the owner quite friendly but since covid he's changed for the worse😠. I went to buy ladus and was told they were £14.99 a kilo! When I asked if they were fresh he got very defensive. I left empty handed and am not going back. Also they don't seem to be willing to help if asked about ingredients and put a lot of sugar in the foods. So haven't adapted for changes. A shame

Comedor informal. Buena comida. Gran servicio de un gran personal. Gran lugar, un montón de espacio. Incluso servía té Yorkshire. Licenciado.

The Bacon Burger was the best I've ever tasted all other members of our party had different meals and all enjoyed theirs too Thankyou

Brilliant place. Its nice to go somewhere the staff have got there own personality. And all home made food .we definitely going back

Solíamos frecuentar LA RED LION a menudo, pero desde el cambio de propietario no es el mismo. La calidad de la cena ha bajado y la cálida bienvenida que acostumbrado a recibir de la anterior dueña ha dejado con ella. Es una pena, ya que este puede ser un fantástico pub/restaurante ya consolidado bajo el antiguo régimen.

Visited twice on sunny Saturday. First visit very busy, several stag and hen do's, very noisy inside and both outdoor areas rammed. However, managed to get served reasonably quickly and 2 large glasses of wine good value. Returned 2 hours later, after checking into hotel. Quieter although still busy, and got a booth at the back of the pub. Ordered 2 chicken jalfrezi curries. Arrived in 15 minutes, good portions, fluffy basmatti rice, naan bread and 2 poppadoms. Arrived hot and very tasty. Excellent value and good service. Tommy's Margaritas to finish, premixed but great value.

Danielle and Albert were lovely and worked arse off to make our visit satisfactory

Great palace to eat can be busy

Myself and three other members went to celebrate two birthdays, the wait for the food was 60 to 90 mins, not enough staff, when meals arrived my brother in laws mega mixed grill was over cooked, tomato was raw not grilled, my wife's hunter's chicken was so dry because it was over cooked so she left it, my sister in law only managed to eat half of her meal and I ordered a hot spicy burger which didn't have any heat in it as i think they didn't put any hot maple sauce in it but I was that hungry that I ate it. All of us said that we won't go back until things have been sorted. The toilets and entrance to were disgusting as toilet paper was leading from pub to toilets

The pace was clean enough but one waitress in particular was very slap-happy in her tidying up and taking dirty pits away, she dropped a dirty knife on the floor, looked at it and carried on, it was still on the floor when we left over 30 minutes later!

Very poor food, cold and uninteresting. Apparently Marston brewery control the standard of the food served. Will not be visiting again

Tables not cleaned, chairs dirty, food took a long time being served. Staff not very helpful. Not the usual wetherspoons standard we normally enjoy.
