The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

We pre booked the Christmas menu meal for a family dinner meet up of 6 adults and 2 little ones And wasn’t disappointed the service was spot on and the food was delicious highly recommend and amazing Christmasy setting with all the decorations up many thanks Andrew Burt and family

We got a takeaway from here on Friday night with all the family, we had a mixture of cod, chicken and mushroom pie, chicken nuggets, sausage and chips and all of course a chip shop curry sauce! The service was good but it gets very busy very fast. After you have ordered you get a fob that buzzes once your food is ready. It is a very good idea as you can wait outside so it doesn’t get too crowded. The food was 10/10 and well priced. Highly recommend if you are wanting a chippy tea!🍟

My friend & I booked for a meal one lunchtime, we arranged to meet at the venue, obviously requiring a parking place each. On arrival we found there was only room for 6 on the forecourt because the owner & presumably staff were parked there. My friend managed to park & I had to go on the pavement along the road. The restaurant is nice inside with good decor & nice & clean. The waitress came for our order swiftly, but we hadn’t decided, so had a coke each. The menu was good, but I felt everything was priced high. So we ended up choosing the cheapest option, 2 slices of white sliced cheap bread with 3 pieces of bacon, and an egg, much the same as what I would of been given in a greasy spoon café & it was about £7 each. Nice coffee, priced at usual coffee price. We ate up & it was ok, but the owner came out & made a sarky comment about us having the cheap option, which I was shocked at. After all the hassle with parking as well, I will not return. Top tip Park under the railway bridge heading into Ambergate & walk to the venue.

Had a truly delicious afternoon tea here. Everything freshly prepared and delicious and there was lots of it. Staff looked after us exceedingly well. If you are in the area worth a visit.

Lovely food ,well presented . Great atmosphere, attentive staff . Restaurant was roomy enough to get a pushchair round . Well done..

Me and my friend Annette stopped at The Shuckburgh Arms last Saturday until Sunday morning. We had such a lovely time we didn't want to leave. The hospitality of Georgia and Paul was absolutely fantastic they were so warming to us and made you feel very welcome. The evening meal and breakfast was really nice I would definitely come back again. The room was cosy and the bed was very comfy. Thank you Georgia and Paul.

Lovely cute countryside pub. Very warm welcoming. Really nice vibe. Live singer in the evening, everyone was so warm and friendly when we arrived. Lunch was great too. Rick and Sophie owners have created an amazing friendly and inviting pub for everyone

We enjoyed our afternoon tea (which has to be pre-booked, via email). The cakes and sandwiches were nice, although nothing particularly stand-out about them. However, the selection of loose leaf teas was great - innovative flavours and great quality teas. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

Best mocha in Nottingham! Worth a trip from Derby, because we don’t got good mocha there.

We only were there for one night, the room was well equipped and comfortable, with tea making facilities, and a nice view, easy parking and pleasant staff. The real surprise was the food,evening meal was well priced, superbly cooked, and served by attentive friendly staff. But the real treat was the breakfast, great selection,fresh ingredients and served nice and hot. Also my wifes Gluten Free requirements were well catered for. Possibly the best hotel breakfast we have been served in the UK

Heard on fb that they had started doing breakfast from 9.30 till 11.30 so thought we would give it a go as previously we've always enjoyed the lunch menu. Wow the food was cooked properly and to perfection. Dippy eggs!!!! Nice service too and a good relaxed atmosphere. Didn't feel rushed. Food wasn't greasy either and tasted delicious. Great variation of items. Worth the extra you'd pay over a greasy spoon equivalent.

Lovely friendly greeting as soon as we walked in & great service. Cakes looked amazing but will have to try them next time! Food was great, with a good selection to choose from on the menu & good selection of drinks. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent chippy in the town centre. Called in after walking in the valley. I had a lovely large cod only £5.50 and a small chips £2.00 which was actually a large portion. The fish was large with lovely white flesh and a very good thin crispy batter. Well worth the money. Chips were fine but had better elsewhere but still good, I sat on a bench and really enjoyed my lunch. Staff in the shop very friendly especially the guy with the tattoos.

Great food, presented lovely, quality ingredients and friendly staff. Love the menu options and worth the journey here to try out

We visited The Crusty Cob at lunchtime and were delighted with everything. The welcome was very friendly. The sandwiches were superb. The service could not have been better. All-in-all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.
