I really like this place. It has an informal, relaxed feel…read morewith a more than adequate menu and wine list. They try to source local produce and prices are not too bad even without a special offer. It can get busy, so booking is best. I brought a friend from who has lived in Canada for the last 15 years and he was quite shocked at the quality/money ratio. He was expecting the sort of fare he used to get (and to be fair that you can still get!) He wasn't very patient though! We had to wait a bit for the bill, but as I pointed out to him, we do still have some restaurants that are not 'fast food'! xx

The Chesterfield in Bingham is a pub owned by the same people as The Manor House at Quorn and the…read moreThe Griffins Head. They have marketed themselves as a Gastro Pub and do offer some nice food in pleasant surroundings. The menu is small but sufficient and the food is very nicely prepared. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is some good wine on offer, but it should be noted that there drink prices are very expensive. I believe they currently have an early bird menu on offer but I would recommend that you phone to check the terms before visiting. If you have a Gourmet Card you'll be pleased to know that you can use it at this restaurant. Generally, I would recommend this as a place to eat. Also, on a Sunday they do a nice roast.

Best kept secret in the area. This 16th century pub/restaurant is run by a lovely couple (Dave and…read moreJackie) who make you feel welcome every visit. My wife and I have been coming here for nearly three years now and the food is still the best around. Sometimes you may have to wait due to everything being cooked fresh to order but it is well worth the wait. Look out for the specials board which has some of the unusual dishes not normally seen in other restaurants.

What can I say about the King's Arms? I'm at home here. When we moved to the UK, honestly our most…read moredesired feature was walking distance to a pub. We got stumbling distance to one of the best pubs in the country. This place is well-regarded by everyone in the region. I've met people here who give up walking distance to their local to drive here and have a good time. That says something. My first night here I made friends, and each time I've been here since I find myself in good company either with neighbors we've met before, or people who know we're new to the area and want to welcome us. I can't begin to tell you how often a quick pint before dinner turns into a long session at King's Arms. I wouldn't have it any other way. These guys truly embrace the concept of being the center of village activity. No TVs, no WiFi, these things distract from the community. You come here to interact with your friends and neighbors, enjoy a good beer, and enjoy living in the company of others. They regularly have events to bring the village out. The most impressive of which was the dinner they hosted on the night of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. They served the exact 10-course menu served in first class that evening, and requested everyone bust out their tuxedos and dresses to mark the occasion in grand fashion. It was a remarkable evening. One disappointment, since I have to list one to feel as though I am being fair, is the wine list. We love the temperanillo, but really none of the others. But we're not here to drink wine, we're here to be social! It makes me a little sad that we don't have this type of drinking culture in the US. If you're not an alcoholic, you're not likely be on a first-name basis with the bartenders at a local watering hole. That's why I love walking in here; everyone knows everyone else, they're always happy to see you, they know what you drink, they pour a tasty pint, and are genuinely good people. I dig it.

AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

Nice gastro-pub in a village regarded by many as the prettiest village in Lincolnshire…read more The pub actually faces its village, and the church, away from the main road. On the main road, is a large car park, which opens onto the pub's beer garden and the rear entrance. The pub itself dates to the 17th Century and is grade II listed. The facade is pretty as a postcard, with creeper growing over the stone walls. Inside, a fairly thorough makeover gives it a more modern feel, with white and pastels complementing the wooden furniture. They have an a la Carte and fixed price menu. The offering varies from sandwiches and light bites to full meals. I had the garlic mushrooms with grated Parmesan on brioche toast (£7.95), friends had the Locally Sourced Ham, Free Range Fried Eggs & Chips (£10.95); and Beer Battered Haddock with Chips, Peas & Tartar Sauce (£13.95). Although it's a bit pricey, everyone enjoyed the meal and the quality of the food was very good. Service was reasonably quick and efficient. They serve a good range of real ales, too. Recommended.

This friendly pub is set in one of the loveliest villages in Nottinghamshire and I love going here…read moreafter work. It has 29 acres of village green right outside which is believed to be the largest rural common in England. It's great to sit outside in the summer and watch a game of cricket, get house envy or watch the cows eating the grass. There is a campsite out back as well and the field is also used for other events such as Old Car Rallies. Inside there is a restaurant area to the left and a lounge area to the right with an unusual vaulted ceiling. Food is good value and down to earth with light bites around £7.00 (these are just enough for a decent meal with dessert - the bigger dishes are huge!!!) I always enjoy trying out the guest ales which are described on a board near the bar. All in all it's a great place for a summer afternoon's drinking or a relaxing meal which everyone in the family will enjoy.
