East Midlands Food & Drink Experiences

It is a wonderful place, amazing food, kind staff and it was made even better that the sun was shining.

My mum and I went to Slug & Lettuce in Gunwharf Quays. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was really nice too.

We received a buyagift voucher and chose to upgrade it which was a very easy process and was booking the meal at our chosen venue. The meal was very good and the venue managed the voucher process without any difficulty.

Wonderful Afternoon Tea at The Priest House by the river. Despite the poor weather outside, the staff were bright and cheery and couldnt do enough to make sure your visit was enjoyable. We will definately go back next year when the sun comes out again as I am sure it will be lovely to sit outside by the river.

delicious food, good service, easy to book, lovely view of Rutland Water

Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable about the distilling process but, more importantly, was able to communicate that information clearly to absolute novices. He was welcoming and engaging, and took care to check that a lady who couldn’t use the stairs was okay during our absence on the tour. Fully recommend this experience, particularly as the last phase of it is tasting their absolutely delicious products!

After a slow start the talk, tour and wine tasting with Helenka was very interesting. Fascinating history brought right up to date. After our light meal there was no rush after the tour to leave so we had a walk around the vineyard and lake. A lovely place to call in for lunch and drinks plus they hold a number of events throughput the season.

Absolutely loved the food and drinks — such a lovely treat! The atmosphere was great, the service was friendly, and everything tasted amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others.

Brocklebys where great. Easy to contact ( unlike buyagift) and made sure I was given a lower table to work on. The evening was great fun and our pies where amongst the best there (though we are both hands on arty people :-)

The staff could not do more for us and the food was delicious

The afternoon tea at Rutland Hall Hotel was brilliant - a warm welcome from the attentive and friendly staff combined with really tasty food in really comfortable surroundings. The food was very good indeed and very generous portions - we ended up taking some away with us as we were full! The background music was very well chosen, and at just the right level to be clearly audible without being imposing. The only criticism is there was a noisy ventilation fan near where we sat, which just took the edge off the ambience of the room…..
