The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Absolutely gutted . Been today from Sheffield and although it states on website open its actually shut and looks like its been renovated..please update the website so people know..had to go elsewhere which was nowhere near as good and cost more aswell ..Still ticked 5 as it always is so good..

What can I say about this lovely little bakery? The minute we walked in we were greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We were there with friends and family. We ordered our drinks and snacks which were promptly served. The coffee is very smooth and actually served in earthen ware cups, which keeps it warmer for longer. I ordered the date and walnut scone. Although it was close to closing time, the scone was still very fresh and absolutely delicious. I'm not one for butter or cream dressings, so I do like my scones naked. All I can say is, you need to try this place to believe it. I will be returning and would recommend in a heartbeat. We left with more goidies too. Please check it out, you won't regret it x

Remarkably good. Excellent coffee (made properly) taste of the coffee is different to anything you would find around. It actually tastes how you would want a coffee to taste if you were to go out and enjoy one. The breakfasts and cakes look insane and we will deffo be back.

Very nice local. Value for money. Chips shop next door which provinces very good food. Very helpful and welcome staff.

What a great place. Fantastic welcome, great staff and fabulous, tasty, hot food. Landlord and locals a great laugh. The pies were excellent. Pub quiz an absolute blast. We loved it so much came back the next night. You won’t be disappointed.

Friendly staff. Locally-sourced food. Plentiful choices for breakfast, lunch and specials but, gosh, is it expensive for a biker cafe. Food tasted very nice indeed, but £13 for breakfast??? Be prepared to pay over the odds for what you get.

Where do I start? Great all round little gem from the lovely, attentative & friendly staff to the beautiful food. The only regret I have is that I hadn't been here sooner. Can't wait to come back.

My wife and I called in on our cycle stop! This was Tuesday the 8th of April and a lovely sunny day! It was packed with motorcyclists and cyclists! It was a big big queue, but soon got to be served what I call the best bacon bap around! See photo! At a very reasonable £4-95. Compared to the one I had at the Village Green Eyam last week at £7-95! The staff, food, and coffee never fails to impress me! Excellent 10/10 for me! Well done The Old Smithy staff!,👏👏👏

It was nice and quiet when we visited (mid week) Friendly and a atmosphere when the clock tower bell sounded .

Lovely lunch at the Cheney Arms today, decided to give it another try after slow service on the last visit as the food was good and glad we did. Service this time was spot on from Sean, attentive but not intrusive and the food was lovely. We will definitely be back 😊

Tout est dans le titre!! Car le reste... circuler rien à voir dans le style un burger d’angus avec un goût très prononcé de porc!!!! Non franchement prenez un thé si vous vouliez mais pas le reste....

The title says it all, this place has always been a tad rough. Louth has lots of better pubs. Try the Masons Arms.

Tuesday night is burger night …. Lovely evening dropped by for a drink in the beer garden and stayed on for a bite to eat . If you like a good burger you won’t be disappointed… I had the chicken with sriracha mayo it was really delicious came with a side of chips to die for .

On a sunny spring afternoon, this was an ideal place to order a steaming cup of great Italian coffee and choose a home-made cake and sit and while away a few minutes, watch the world go by. The staff were friendly, the environment comfortable and it just felt like all was well with the world; the ambiance of a really good coffee shop. My other half had a deeply dark and sticky ginger cake, topped with fresh, light, lemony icing whilst I indulged in a Malteser tiffin bar. We could have been in a chic cafe on the continent; I hope the residents of Woodhall Spa appreciate how lucky they are, having this on their doorstep.

Great breakfast if you want a challenge try the belly buster I would recommend
