The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Staff are so amazing and friendly

Nicely laid out store but the staff on the till just don't want to be there.

The food here is very nice freshly made fish & Chips and it's Halal. Decent size potions. Very nice and clean. Eating in and takeaway. They also sell burgers and chip shop stuff all Halal.

We had a wonderful family reunion at the Bulls Head last Saturday lunchtime. We were given a very warm welcome by landlady Chloe and her staff My hummus starter was amazing Our 12 mains all arrived together piping hot and were totally delicious. I can’t recommend this pub enough. A relaxing atmosphere, great menu, attentive staff, brilliant chef, definitely 5 stars all the way Thankyou Chloe and Matt for making our day special, we will be back

Wow - what a lovely place. The food was so lovely and well presented. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will be back.

Good service and great foods! Best hokkess

Absolutely fabulous! Best burger in bloody ages and fabulous pork/apple/stuffing bun. Fabulous service and friendly staff. Great music too and lovely ambience.

Fantastic lunch. I had the home made beef stew which was superb. The staff were extremely helpful, and obviously enjoying their service. It became obvious that this atmosphere is generated by the fantastic hosts Dean and Paul. What a lovely country pub.

This is like home from home. I was at a vets a few mins around the corner & had 4 hours to kill. I had travelled 60 miles to get there & asked if there was anywhere near by that I could get a coffee. I was directed to Stirrups. Arriving tired starving disorientated & quite stressed after a long drive in the snow with a very sick animal in the passengers seat. I ordered a fat fry up for breakfast which was amazing & a coffee which was superb. They even do Gluten free (I'm allergic just to extra awkward) BUT WHAT STANDS OUT (apart from the food & spot on coffee) was the staff & service. Amber who was behind the bar was so so lovely not only offering top service but also asked about my animal at the vets, stopping for chat gave me WiFi password & offered such kindness & compassion that it genuinely made me feel so much better. The staff put the heating up for me & gave me a nice spot by a radiator as it was freezing which was so so nice of them. My only other option was a waiting room or the car for 4 hours not nice in 1 degrees! Kindness is such a rarity in the world that we live in. Thankyou staff at Stirrups & especially Amber for you hospitality & kindness, compassion & smile.

Great value chippie in the city centre, one of my favourites in fact. Absolutely recommend sitting out the back and having their daily sausage chips and Mushy peas special

Only had a breakfast but lovely food and great staff

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

had participated in a event recently there with family and friends, some of the desert that was paid for was not served. heating wasn't working. staff were very nice but they need to communicate if something is not working or not happening, and refund if you don't serve what package you sold to your customers.

Absolutely loved this pub . Really friendly and I thought all staff were excellent Food hot and tasty I would definitely visit here again

I met a friend here recently and we had lunch. Food is nice and service was good too. Pleasant polite staff and a nice atmosphere Groups of friends meeting for lunch, tea and cake.
