The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East Midlands

As I don’t eat certain food items just wanted poached eggs on toast,apparently this is not available even though I could order the eggs as eggs Benedict or Royale .Found this a bit strange so won’t be going back there.

Family and friends Sunday lunch. Roasts were awful; very very dry beef (only meat option); frozen shop bought dry soggy roasties; lacking flavour watery gravy and not a lot of it; soggy deflated Yorkshire pudding. My mouth was so dry after chewing so hard on the beef. Best thing were the boiled carrot batons. Lasagne seemed shop bought/ processed sauces etc, and the 2 slices of frozen garlic bread dry and lacking flavour. The sting was that the lasagne was around £18, and the roast £16 - the portions were very small too. Could get better at Morrisons cafe sorry to say! Service was friendly, and the free pool and darts made up for the very disappointing meal. We’ve been going to The George for at least 10 years and it was very good 10 years ago; good value for large tasty meals (especially the blue cheese burger on a floury bap with curly fries and salad for under a tenner - i know prices have gone up for various reasons so it’s not the price that’s an issue if the food is decent and a good portion, but I felt well and truly ripped off). Please improve as we want to visit more as we’re local and love Hayfield and don’t want to see another pub close (sad to see The Royal go - Sportman down the road and Packhorse are great! As is Old Hall Inn in Chinley) due to lack happy returning customers. Good luck!

Visited Nemo’s for Sunday lunch today. Lovely view of the quarry and friendly staff. Food was not very good at all. Stuffing was not cooked, boiled tasteless potatoes and tasteless veg. Will not return

Most of what you get at Wellingtons is ok, but i took my mum for early lunch and i decided to have an all day breakfast, i cant believe it was sent out from the kitchen the way it was cooked. I asked for well done bacon, this was so overcooked and dry it was impossible to cut it or pick it up with a fork. The fried egg was so overcooked it looked like it had sat under a heater for an hour or so. The baked beans were all dried up and turned to mush, the tin tomatoes looked the same as the beans. Toast was rubbery, infact the only thing that was ok was the hash browns. My mum told me to send it back but to be honest i dont like to complain and we had a long wait to begin with. Even though i have eaten other things there that have been ok, i will never eat there again, i should never have been given food in that state. I would have to rate it as the worst breakfast i gave ever eaten and remember its not cheap, overall load of crap.

I absolutely loved this place! Whether you're in the mood for a relaxed evening or a fancy night out, this spot has got you covered. I'm already planning my next visit here - can't wait to come back!

RUDE staff, girl behind the bar refused to serve me. I came into the duke to have a drink & food with my friend, not expecting to be death stared by a worker, it’s unprofessional!!!!

Such a shame this placed has closed down. It was much needed in the area. Looks like Moira will remain the place where the shoe warehouse was instead of something more positive.

My wife and I decided to take our Granddaughter to Thorntons. At the front door we were asked if we were going to the shop or cafe area. We said we cafe and they asked us to complete the Covid tracking details. The young lady then said we can go straight through and take a seat. At this stage we were still wearing our face coverings. We were almost seated when a lady approached us and asked us what we were doing. As we were in the cafe area we removed our face covering. She then demanded we walk around the main table to the front. This was very embarrassing as we had to walk in a circle back to the front of the cafe. Although we were in a cafe we were forced to put on our face covering or we will not be seated. This lady was so loud that most of the tables turned to see what was going on. We then decided to leave and go elsewhere. This was no way to treat customers. We did explain that the young lady at the door said we could take a seat but this lady just kept on shouting and demanding that we walk all the way around and go wait and the front entrance. While we always wear face covering and always follow government guidelines it seems like the staff are clueless. Embarrassing us by shouting and treating us like children is totally unacceptable.

Having visited this cafe a few times over the past year or so, and been happy with the food and service, I found today's visit very disappointing. Even allowing for the fact that the place was busy, there was no welcome, tables were not being cleared quickly and after around ten minutes waiting for service and seeing a couple who had just arrived being attended to, I was left with the distinct impression that my custom was not welcome. In the end, I walked out and found an alternative artesan bread shop on the market place which did a delicious, freshly-made sandwich and cafe latte at a reasonable price. I think today's wasted effort at Birds in Ashbourne will be my last.

We loved our lunch here, and the service was excellent! It was a big contrast with another place we tried earlier, where they halted service for 10 minutes in order to "catch up" - how ridiculous! We were made to feel welcome at Stars, despite it being busy, and couldn't fault our delicious food, at a good price too 😋. They're missing a trick by not having Buxton pudding on the menu though - surely we're not the only people who like to sample local specialities when visiting a place for the first time?

The lady kindly got the chef to make us sausage baps even though the breakfast menu had finished. The food was hot and came out quick and when the children asked for marshmallows for their hot chocolate the lady obliged straight away. She later gave us a take out cup to put the hot chocolate in. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly and the café is clean and tidy.

Very friendly, helpful staff. Had a lovely breakfast here before carrying on with my dog walk along the canal. Situated right by the lock and dog friendly.

Our first time at the book cafe, we booked a table for breakfast. The place looked clean albeit no soap in the toilets and the lock in the baby changing is dodgy. I went to the counter to say we had a table booked, the girl looked quite confused by this, I presume it was the manager who was sat behind me, told me ‘just to sit anywhere as we’re not busy’ so we found a table that happened to be the table that was reserved for us with my name on it but we’d never been before so was unsure what to do, turns out you have to get your own menus and cutlery etc from the stand but it would of been courteous to of been told. We ordered breakfast at the bar, was told the coffee would be 10 minutes, food was okay, not very hot but was alright but I think £9 for a kids breakfast is quite insulting for one slice of toast, a sausage, a egg and a few button mushrooms. I asked for scrambled eggs on the kids breakfast but was told it would be extra, why? All the other breakfasts have a choice of fried, poached or scrambled so why doesn’t the kids have the choice of scramble, only poached or fried And why would I be charged extra? It’s not a venue that’s close to us so we did travel as it’s somewhere I’ve wanted to try for a while, needless to say I’m not in a rush to go back.

Took my wife out for a meal after work, food was lovely and so was the staff. Decor was very dated and dull lighting. I wouldn't go again just on the decor, it just feels really old.

Lovely little cafe with excellent food and good service perfect for a lovely lunch. I had the Bacon and Brie Oat cake was delicious. Will visit again next time in Bakewell
