The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East Midlands

Popped in after a morning of shopping for a much needed cup of coffee and a hot chocolate. Staff were very welcoming and our drinks were lovely.

We stopped here for a few hours before the football match. It’s gets very busy just before the match, so early arrival is advised before a match. Great atmosphere! Great music! Great staff! A perfect place to stop before the match! And right next to the stadium too!

The waiters came across rude and did not do their job as we had to serve ourself. I’m confused on why they we’re even present when they couldn’t even do the job properly. We also called the owner multiple times who decided not to pick the phone up.

Had lovely walk around the area, so was ready for a nice drink and sit in the sunshine. Was disappointed as cafe looked closed with all chairs stacked away so was unable to sit in sun. Plus did not appreciate being served food by someone showing there midriff area. Very unhygienic.

Had a private party here on Friday night and cannot thank Luke and the staff enough. He was so helpful and accommodating, and our guests had an amazing evening. We had a good chat with the owner too, who made sure we were well looked after. The venue is stunning inside and outside, and the staff were fantastic on the night. They even let us bring our own food and decorations, and helped us clean up at the end of the night. The cocktails were really nice, and we all felt well looked after. Cannot thank you all enough for being a part of our engagement party 🤍 We will happily recommend this venue to anybody looking for somewhere to hold a party.

I’ve given up trying with this cafe! I’ve visited about five times - with friends, alone and with children. The coffee is awful! Too bitter and not well made. The biscuits are burnt. The choice of fresh cakes/savouries is very poor. The staff are miserable and don’t seem welcoming at all. I also asked for a tap water to go with my coffee and was told to buy a bottle for £1! The tables are not cleaned thoroughly. It’s such a shame as this could be a regular place for us after school as it’s so close however we just can’t give it any more chances.

Decided to go for dinner pannine 1 piece of ham rock solid the jacket potato 🥔 with cheese was enimic hardly any cheese and small complained to manager who to be fair was very understanding told me me they had cut the portions sizes and was rashioning the amounts the top boses had implemented these new strategies for profit well you've lost me ...greed and greed

Went for a meal with the missus both had pizzas they were amazing will.be back.

Can't moan at 4.49 for 2 pints even tho it was Worthies and Carling but totally lacking atmosphere, think I'll continue being a NeverSpooner lol

Worst spoons Iv ever been in Everytime Iv been they never have anything in stock always running out of drinks piss poor management

We called in as traffic was horrendous. I used the disabled toilet which had seen better days. No paper,hand dryer switched off which i reported. Hot drinks average, had to ask for one to be topped up as looked like half measure,cakes average. Place was untidy,vacant tables not cleared of previous user's cups. Biggest gripe is individual students taking up tables meant for four people. Shan't be calling in here again. Automatic door not working either.

This was a Monday lunchtime meal for 6 friends, and due to a cancelled walk beforehand because of the heavy rain, we arrived very early, but as our reserved table was available we were promptly seated. Excellent start, and having been given menus, ordered drinks and placed meal orders everything was fine. Starters arrived, a couple of Garlic Mushrooms with Rustic bread looked fine. My Japanese Karaage dish ( chicken pieces in spicy batter with harissa) wasn’t great, the batter whilst crispy on the outside, was soggy inside and the chicken pieces inside were very small, not breast meat but looked like thigh. The harissa was actually a harissa inspired mayo dip, very spicy but nice for it. For main course, three of us had Sea Bass fillets with crushed garlic potatoes with a wine and cheese sauce with green beans and carrots. Very nicely presented, however I’ve never had a plated meal which was so hot ( except for oven baked lasagne, fish pie etc) in particular the potatoes which were sliced and not crushed. At a guess, the plated meals had been waiting under the heated lamps on the pass for some time whilst other meals were ready. The sea bass was rather dry because of this, but copious amounts of white wine and cheese sauce provided in a gravy boat moistened the fish nicely. However, I’d much rather have a very hot meal rather than tepid or verging on cold as I experienced on more than one occasion. Our friends had a chicken and mushroom pie (thick soggy crust), a lamb and mint pie, and a plain butterflied chicken breast, all with accompanying vegetables, everything well presented. After this we waited and waited and waited, then had to shout to the bar for dessert menus half an hour after finishing main courses. Desserts weren’t great, 3 of us had a gluten free NY baked cheesecake which was very grainy and not pleasant, the mixed berries were not defrosted properly and the ice cream was bland. Others had apple and blackberry crumble and no one managed more than half of their dish, which comprised roughly 70% crumble and 30% fruit. Unfortunately not many complements were forthcoming. Again after finishing desserts we had to shout to the bar for attention for hot drinks to finish with. Coffee was nice, but the tea drinkers weren’t impressed, there was ‘just tea’ available, no varieties, and what arrived was very weak. The cardinal sin, apart from having no Sticky Toffee pudding available was that there was no interest in clearing our dessert dishes away, and these were left in front of us until we vacated the table to pay at the bar. At this time the pub wasn’t busy and staff were more interested in chatting to themselves rather than dealing with diners. Not once throughout our meal were we asked if everything was alright with our good. Maybe they were embarrassed by the about of food left uneaten on everyone’s plates. From their website and meal descriptions it looks like The Chequers is positioning itself as a Gastro pub, but it’s nowhere near to what I’d expect. It’s difficult to pin down an identity for their cuisine, having American, Chinese, Thai, German, English, Mexican, Mediterranean, Japanese, Moroccan and Italian dishes on the menu, but my suspicion is that many of the meals are bought in meals preprepared for catering. I may be wrong here, but that’s how it looks. Overall we thought it was a less than average experience which wouldn’t be difficult to improve with a bit of attention to detail, quality over quantity and better consideration from the serving staff. Oh, and the wi-if was not working 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice place, the only gripe that I have is the lack of seating for one person. Often there are large tables for 3/4 and I don't want to take up that space. It would be good to put in more 1 seaters.

Some of the best Italian food you will eat in Northampton, and wonderful service! My partner and I have returned many times.

Ordered a pint and got this filthy glass for my troubles 🤢 £5.20 for this as well 😐
