The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

I am allergic to Garlic and often struggle to find things to eat in restaurants. The staff here were so friendly, they checked through ingredients and even offered to tweak the menu to make me something. Even though the pub is a Hungry Horse, the staff made it feel like a local, rather than a franchise.

Been today, October 30th lovely food, good service, both of the staff were fab, very friendly and polite,chatty, been coming for lunch for 10 yrs, nicest experience for along while

We made a reservation here for a family Sunday lunch as we have dined here in the past and are soon to be relocating to the area again to live so we’re keen to reacquaint ourselves. Everyone in the family party chose to skip starters and go straight in for main courses with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, seasonal greens and gravy Of either Roast Topside of Beef Roast Chicken Supreme Apricot & pork stuffing, bread sauce Roast Loin of Pork Burnt apple purée, crackling, apricot & pork stuffing Roast Trio of Meat Topside of beef, chicken supreme, roast loin of pork, burnt apple purée, crackling, we chose an additional couple of sides of cauliflower cheese to share then to save room for Dessert. Portion sizes of all dinners were ample without being generous but could have been bigger especially for the men in the party. The roasted vegetables As would have benefited from a longer cook and more of them on the plate. The roast potatoes needed longer too plus more seasoning and definitely more of them in the plate as they were quite stingy. The roast beef as tender but portion wise the amount l swerved was really small and the same was said my family members for the other meat choices. Gravy was tasty but it would have been nice to have been given an additional gravy jug for the table as that too was not m short supply on the plate Deserts were nice but the sticky toffee. pudding only came with ice cream and no option to swap for Custard. We Were not checked on during the meal until then end times if we needed anything which was a shame. All in all a nice much which considering we have been before we really wanted to love it sadly felt that this wasn’t as good as we’d had. Before. Not sure we will return considering our party size and cost.

Popped in for breakfast which was great as usual , a traditional breakfast and a small American one , which were both very tasty , a special mention to Jade who was exceptional at their job and hopefully very much appreciated by the company !

Don't buy from here hands down the worst greggs I've been to. All the food is cold and staff are lacking brain capacity. Wouldn't even refund my money after charging me 3.10 for 2 cold sausage rolls almost out of the fridge cold, wouldn't even let me exchange it for the 4 cold ones they sell in a pack instead. Should either change management or close down so something different could open that actually serve at least warm food...

They charge £15 for delivery and you have to spend a minimum of 20

Terrible service, very slow & everyone that works here has an awful attitude

Great location, good food, good service.

Bad experience , 930 sat night so would have thought still busy thankfully only got chips to eat on way to car which were cold soggy sweaty and a waste of £2.70 . Would not return.

This is a response to a previous reply from The Queens Head. Yes we did opt to keep the Prosecco but we were not aware of the expense As a chef myself I would never have served the food. Even the staff were embarrassed to serve it We had waited so long we ate what was edible but we won’t return anytime soon Buyer beware

Much improved since it reopened.

The service was good and the staff very pleasant and efficient. Clean surroundings. Unfortunately the portion sizes were a little meagre. The food however was very hot which made a pleasant change. At first we thought one of the dishes was meant for a child. Maybe they are cutting the size to keep the price down but this does not make for a wholesome meal.

Must give Evan a shout out on here, he is very professional, polite and very happy to help you, Evan looked after us this evening, family of 5 with a baby, service was good and food was fresh and hot. Thank you Evan for looking after us and for your amazing service

Really nice and fresh. Would go back.

We came to the Old Club House as we were going to Buxton Opera House for a show. We tried to book online but it said the time wasn’t available but thought we would give it a go and see if there was space. We arrived about 5:45 and the eating area was quiet so managed to get in straight away! We were served by Cas who let us know the grill was being replaced next week so there weren’t any burgers available. That wasn’t a problem with us as we weren’t ordering burgers anyway. Cas was attentive and came over to us to let us know our food was on its way which was really nice , she also made sure we were enjoying our meal. Cas was lovely and really polite and friendly. We ordered the king prawn starter and Cas came over to us to let us know they’d run out of prawns and to offer an alternative. We ordered the prawns and chrozio and changed the prawns for chicken due to the above , halloumi fries , beef bourgingnon, Camembert sharer as a starter , the apple and blackcurrant pie and the caramelised biscuit cheesecake. All the food was lovely and came out pretty quickly for a Friday night. One of us had the Camembert sharer as a main, for two people the size of the Camembert may be a little small but as a main for one it was the perfect size. The prize was decent for two people and if we were coming again , we wouldn’t be mad!
