The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Absolutely loved this place. Came for a date night with my partner and couldn’t fault a thing. Service was 10/10 and the food was well presented and was very good. Will recommend to all my friends and family

Our choice of the tea cottage for a light lunch turned out to be a great one. The menu isn’t long but it doesn’t need to be because there is plenty of choice and freshness and quick service are the hallmarks. Delightful, apart from the difficulty parking.

Good food and drinks. Might be nice if they offer avocado on toast as an option as I would love to have that by way of a change.

Staff members very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! We would definitely come again. Reasonable prices , you really need to try the Bakewell Latte

Came for a lunch and was very disappointed. I had chorizo hash dish that wasn’t chorizo it was fried luncheon meat or something certainly not chorizo. The taste was awful tasted of burnt plastic. No hash just bits of potatoes and a couple of rocket leaves sat in loads of oil in a dirty skillet dish. My husband ordered toast and peanut butter served to him without a knife. A tiny thimble of peanut butter and over priced. I requested some salt and was brought an empty salt cellar. One more thing my tea was served with a badly cracked cup very unhygienic and dangerous if it fell apart. Over priced food that was pretty awful and not what it was claiming to be. Service very poor although polite but still. Didn’t complain as we didn’t choose to eat there and didn’t want to cause a fuss. Had I been on my own I would have demanded my money to be refunded.

Amazing evening as always. Perfect meal, wine and service. Loving the new wine choices. Made my retirement meal with my family extra special.

The food was good and the atmosphere great as the place was busy. On the downside, we were very cramped for space at the table because they had obviously squeezed as many people in as possible. Also, when my young granddaughter needed her nappy changing we discovered there were no changing facilities. We were told they didn’t have space despite having had a fairly recent extension. Unfortunately I don’t think we would go again with a child or children.

I haven’t been here for at least 30 years, the atmosphere was ok, but the meal was very average, and overpriced, the vegetables were very bland and unimaginative. As other people have commented, It felt like an old people’s home, in an 80’s time warp!

Fabulous meal for our Anniversary. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend No.5. Atmosphere is perfect for couples and equally larger groups. Thank you

Extensive menu catering for a wide range of tastes. Portions are generous making prices good. Staff friendly in a typical local pub. Would benefit from an accessible website.

It was a spur of the moment visit, but I wasn’t disappointed , got seated straight away, even though place was busy , decor very nice , staff pleasant and attentive

Love this place, quality food, value too and a smiles at the bar. Nice selection of beers too.

Put more bacon in your sandwiches please. Make it special. Not mediocre.

We bought sandwiches from Cintra to take away for our walk. Just a cheese and tuna baguette and a cheese and cole slaw baguette - nothing fancy - but they were £8 each! Neither sandwich had any seasoning and were completely underwhelming. If you’re going to charge that much for a sandwich, make it memorable and delicious. We won’t be going back.

First visit to this wonderful pub for Sunday Lunch. Booked a table in advance which I am glad of as it was very busy. Very cosy pub, staff very welcoming. I had a Roast Pork Dinner and my husband had Steak & Ale Pie. Both meals were delicious and generous sized portion. Highly recommend. We will definitely be going back.
