The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East Midlands

The staff here are friendly and welcoming. There's a pool table by the bar and a dining area on the opposite side and a small outside seating area at the rear. It all looks quite homely. We have visited this place on a number of occasions and there's always a good atmosphere. We had a delicious Sunday roast here today, all nicely cooked and very tasty. We also visit sometimes on a Wednesday evening when they have certain events, such as a disco or quiz. A finger buffet is sometimes included and this is always a tasty treat. Can't rate this place highly enough. It's a good, friendly town centre pub and has become something of a local for us as we don't live too far away. Highly recommended. 5*

Called in for a coffee after visiting the pub across the road, staff was extremely polite. Although we only had a coffee it was hot and tasted great. Cakes on show looked lovely. Everywhere was clean and tidy, will definitely call here again.

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

Over the years I have frequently had breakfast and lunches in Wellingtons and have always found them to be good, excellent in fact. This time my wife and I decided to go for Sunday Lunch, fully expecting a similar or better experience than before but it was not to be. Arriving at 13:00, we were advised that the only Sunday Roast item they had left was Gammon, they had been busy and sold out of everything else. Surprised as they have been operating for many years and would normally have sufficient supplies to last longer than 13.00. My wife opted for the Chicken and Leek pie and I ventured over to the carvery and waited, waited, waited. Stood looking at a small piece of Gammon and a variety of veg. keeping warm under a heat light whilst staff walked past clearing tables, delivering food etc.. On two occasions I was advised someone would be along to serve me but it must have been all of 10-15 minutes that I was hanging around before someone came out of the kitchen to carve me 3 slices of ham. DIY selection of cauliflower Cheese, roast potatoes, beans, carrots, parsnip and a dry Yorkshire pudding. No gravy visible so had to do with that. Returning to my table, my wife still hadn't received her Chicken pie so I got started on my food. Everything was hard, whether from being over or under cooked it was difficult to say. The roast potatoes were almost solid, as was the parsnip and the Yorkshire - terrible. Only saving grace was the Gammon. Very well cooked, could be sliced easily and tasty. Everything else was as near inedible as you could get. My wifes pie arrived and as she described it, pie good but everything else not so. In short, what has happened to this previously excellent restaurant?

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.

I normally sit downstairs but for the last couple of visits I have ventured up the stairs, what a great area to enjoy a drink/breakfast. Breakfast was well presented and tasty with the usual excellent service from the staff.

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.
