The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Amazing lunch at the Yard, really lovely space and incredible food and coffee!! Great menu and specials Only a few minutes off the M1 and a million times nicer than a stop at the services, would really reccomend! Lovely friendly staff and great value Editing to add, got a brownie to takeaway for the rest of the drive, and it was the best brownie I've ever had, and I've had a lot of brownies, wish we'd brought more cakes now!

Came across this place two weeks ago and have already been four times. Great selection of food and drinks, staff are all very friendly. I will see you again soon!

Massive portions well cooked and very tasty 😋

Been coming here for years great service and food Wendy and the girls offer a fantastic service always busy

After recently visiting Rafters, we had to try Rafters at Riverside. We decided on a Sunday lunch for my birthday. Myself, my husband and our 6 year old son were looked after by Alistair and his team, and we couldn’t fault a single thing! The service, the drinks and the food were all outstanding. It was without doubt the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had, and our son absolutely loved it too. The wagyu beef and the Yorkshire pudding with a hidden surprise were delicious, and the children’s menu was fantastic too. We can’t wait to come again!

Beautiful fish and chips every time, no more to say.Boom.

Brilliant pub great atmosphere superb staff and friendly absolutely agree 👍👌

Great service from friends and excellent food and drinks

Fast and friendly service, decent portions, and a great kebab: fresh salad, good chilli sauce, plenty of meat. Will return!

Brilliant pub great and very welcoming especially to disabled I have just started to get the confidence to get back out as moved back In 2018 due to domestic violence and I personally think that the pub every staff member was more than helpful and the customer welcomed us and I have multiple anxiety issues and bipolar copd and fibermalga its a massive problem to get out as I aways hide and I always get serious anxiety and its the first time in possibly 10 years nothing made me feel like I was not part of the community even though I have only attended the place 3 times since 2018 to now thanks best customer service ever and as my 15 year old says I am a Karen lol see you weds to get all my spare bits for you to get rid off I really felt welcomed Im going early this week need a table lol

Always a pleasure stopping off at the Toast Office, Staff and Jay always helpful and friendly. Tuna melt Toasties and coffee plus decent real bean decaf.

Very good tour and very informative talk on its history and renovation

Great food, staff are lovely. Beautiful location

A fantastic local cafe where you are made to feel welcome. The drinks were first rate. There is a small outside sheltered seating area where dogs are allowed. Will definitely visit again when in the area 😍

Turned up, disappointed as closed for over 3 month's! Site still saying open as usual.
