The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Food was excellent here and not badly priced at all. Only bad thing is that there was a 40 minute wait for food and they weren't that busy.

Stayed at the Travel lodge for 2 night over the Download festival ( June 14th + 15th 2019). We had no choice but to get breakfast at the Harvester.

Very nice pub lunch. We got the souvlaki plate and the fish and chips with a side of gravy. Great food and portion sizes which you'd expect for the higher price. Coffee was poor for £3.40- seemed like instant. It was quite a small venue so limited tables inside but plenty of seating outside, in a lovely location. A particular highlight were the chips, a department in which we are not easily impressed. We were informed current ownership have only been around for a couple of months so older reviews may not reflect the current standards. Very enjoyable lunch.

Disappointing lunch time meal. Very generously sized jacket potato but absolutely minimal “side salad”; not even a whole tomato! At £8:95 not good value. Coleslaw extra. And served from a trolley, reminiscent of school meals! It’s a pleasant environment and staff were good. Perhaps the main meals are better value and breakfast selection sounded more tempting. Coffee was average. So unfortunately we won’t return to the cafe though the actual GC and shops are great.

It is an OK Fish and Chip shop. I only had a bag of chips as the Fair was in town, the staff were friendly, but the chips were very dry, possibly the potatoes used but OK and good value

Demi was amazing she was so nice and we could hold a conversation with her she recommend us a wine which we loved. There so lucky to have a girl like her.

I wrote a review in January really praising the child’s macaroni cheese and garlic bread which was accompanied by a lovely fresh side salad and small bowl of cheese. Today we returned, my granddaughter asked for the macaroni cheese again. Really disappointing. It was served without the side salad (which she really wanted) and grated cheese. I did question this and was told the menu had changed. I honestly don’t think so since last month Won’t be ordering food from there again. .

Absolutely lovely afternoon tea, just what was needed on a wet day. Made our reservation online the previous week & were pleasantly surprised you could choose what table to sit at in the quieter area of the restaurant. On arrival was shown to our pre set table & asked what refreshments needed, not long after its arrival the afternoon tea arrived. The picture doesn’t do it justice as there was also 2 home made hot cross buns. We really couldn’t eat it all & were offered cake boxes to take our yummies home. The sandwiches were very filling & loved the cheese scones & real butter! The mini cakes were so pretty but just couldn’t eat them at the time, but they were soon devoured once home. The staff were very nice, will we be back? Absolutely.

Sunny 🌞 was our waitress. What an asset to CP she is. Very attentive & bubbly, helpful & knowledgeable about wot to do & where to go. She was happy in her job said it’s a lovely place to work which u could tell by her bubbly nature. Thankyou sunny 😎

The place is filthy. The coffee machine and the cutlery are filthy. 0ne woman (short hair about 60) was totally filthy too. Her apron was covered in old food and her hands and nails were dirty. She brought our food out with her thumb in the food. The food was cold and disgusting. Mushy peas looking like they had been moulding on the side for weeks see picture. They should be closed down. No manager was available.

Absolutely amazing food the sweet potatoes and chicken was delicious my daughters chips were really and fresh definitely would recommend polite helpful staff

absolutely disgusting food and service. Lady called Catharine served me on the till, said ‘what am I doing with this lady here’ I was holding a baby whilst trying to get my food, no offer to help me at all. The tuna crunch Sandwhich was vile. Tasted out of date and just disgusting. Also the till staff always disappear so there’s always people stiff there for ages. Won’t return.

Tesco Long Eaton is really pulling it out of the bag. 🛍 First I've got to say: I love the shopping experience of your stores. And today, you did not disappoint. 😀 Breakfast was well priced at £6.25, which is also all cooked with Tescos produce; 🍳🥓 which is a big bonus for fans of the brand.💙 The pot of tea was £2 which was easily 2 cups 🫖☕️ Service was lovely, so thank you to both ladies 💫👏🏻 Very impressed with this shop cafe breakfast 👌🏻💯💙 5️⃣⭐️

13 of us visited for a birthday meal , some had two courses others had three, can honestly say the food was amazing, the starters of prawn cocktail and mushrooms were yummy, the main courses selected consisted of salmon , pork, beef and lamb shank ( not included in the set meal price) and all the meats where delicious, there were also plenty of roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and gravy to go around, when the desserts arrived they were large portions and could be served with cream, ice cream or custard… Fabulous meal , would highly recommend

Amazing time. Heidi was just brilliant so attentive, quick with drinks. Will be back. Brilliant afternoon 😀😀😀😀😀😀
