The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Came here for a Saturday afternoon drink. Beautiful historical building which was surprisingly big. Absolutely loads of seating both inside and outside yet didn't feel too crowded. Service at the bar was friendly and quick. Lovely atmosphere. Dog and child friendly.

The employees were rude to us, I brought a snack to eat because I had already seen several people eating things that were not bought here and today the employee was super rude to us

Tuvimos el mejor servicio y la comida era deliciosa. Tuvimos un poco de espera para nuestro plato principal, pero esto fue visto antes de que lo señaláramos y fue rectificado inmediatamente. Sin duda lo volvería a visitar.

Amelia and maddie was amazing ! Service was speedy and very friendly workers ! I will definitely come back again as the bottomless brunch was amazing !! Thank you so much

Amazing visit, staff were amazing... Food was good 😊

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I had bariatric surgery last year so I cannot eat large amounts of food and on Good Friday they had a set meal option of two or three courses. However, when I asked and explained I could only eat a small portion, they were very kind and said I could order something different, even a children's meal if I needed. The food is delicious and a good portion size.

This is a very good restaurant. Pies are the main items on the menu but there are other choices. The pies however are very, very good and my advice, unless you don't eat pies, is to have one of them. The pies are excellent, with very nice pastry and a choice of interesting fillings, and they are served with lots of very tasty gravy and lovely mashed potato. One portion of the side vegetables will be enough for two people unless one, or both, is very hungry. The haslet sausage roll starter is very good but it is a generous size and one of these shared between two as a starter would probably be enough. The staff were all very friendly. There is a relaxed atmosphere and we had a very enjoyable dinner.

Lovely place to have a drink overlooking the sea definitely worth a visit

Bistro live is a brilliant night out! The food was superb, staff were excellent, great value for money and it was fun fun fun! We've already booked again for my birthday 😁🥳

Went for lunch, great food and service reasonably priced

Last week I left the following review: ‘We had a takeaway pizza from The White Horse last night, and I was absolutely blown away. It was so delicious that I had to double-check it was actually gluten-free! The texture, the flavor—everything was spot on. Hands down the best gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had. Highly recommend’ However, I feel it’s important to add a follow-up to my initial review. After eating the pizza last week, I was unwell for the entire next day, which raised concerns. We returned to the restaurant this week and ordered the same gluten-free pizza, and it was clearly different from the one we received previously - this one was unmistakably gluten-free. Based on the difference in texture and taste, I now strongly suspect the first pizza was not actually gluten-free. As someone with a wheat allergy (luckily, not a life threatening one), this is quite serious, and I hope the restaurant takes steps to ensure this kind of mix-up doesn’t happen again, especially to someone who may become seriously unwell. I have rated 3 stars because both pizzas were delicious and, hopefully, the mix-up was a one time issue.

We had booked to see a film at the nearby Kinema in the Woods and so an early supper at The Tea House in the Woods seemed ideal, as the two are just a minute's walk apart. Honestly, not being local and just having the photos to give us an idea of the place, we were expecting something along the lines of a summer house or pavillion; so we were surprised to find the interior so large and well laid out, a selection of tables and booths and, for good weather, an extensive patio. Our imagined light supper turned out to be a really good meal, lovely environment and great, friendly service - a special shout out to Chloe. My other half had the vegetarian, three beanchilli and loved it. I went for something from the specials board - hanging chicken and chorizo kebabs - which arrived literally 'hanging' by virtue of a metal ring contraption, which the plate sat on and then a high extension with a hook on it, with the kebab skewers hanging. (Apologies - hard to describe!) My meal was huge, imaginatively presented (!) and absolutely delicious. As well as my kebabs, substantial in themselves, I had a portion of chips (my other half had to help with those) sauces and dips and coleslaw. I impressed myself by managing to finish it! The dessert menu was very tempting so we ordered one and Chloe brought us two spoons! It is so lovely to be surprised and to have one's expectations so roundly exceeded. We would highly recommend you visit.

Really great food, staff are awesome.

Had a late lunch. 16.30pm reservation online, easily booked and plenty of parking. Upon arrival we entered our registration into their system which would allow us to be parked outside for three hours for free. Our server Rebecca was polite, quick and attentive despite having several tables. The food came out fairly quickly and was hot, fresh and tasty. Dessert was amazing and the perfect ending to the meal. 10/10 Will be going back!

Always loved this bar, sadly has really deteriorated now. New Manager extremely rude to me and several other . Been my go to place for atmosphere and live music for 10 years. Won't be returning.
