If you're an aficionado of homegrown recipes, then Long Eaton boasts several restaurants that should definitely appeal. For example, Bennetts Hotel on Derby Road in the town centre rustles up a selection of heart-warming traditional English dishes simply yet expertly prepared from prime seasonal ingredients. Fill up on the likes of salmon with asparagus, braised steak and onions or a mixed grill of lamb, sausage and black pudding, finished off with homemade apple pie and fresh cream. And when the weather turns cold, you can look forward to a roaring log fire too!

There are also some top-notch curry houses among Long Eaton's restaurants. One of the more unusual is Mount Gurkha Spice on Tamworth Road, which stands out from the crowd by serving up a number of Nepalese delicacies alongside classic Indian favourites. Kick off with some momos (dumplings stuffed with mince and chutney) before getting stuck into a bhutuwa (stir-fried lamb pieces marinated in turmeric, mustard oil and soy sauce) or duck breast barbecued in Himalayan herbs. And there are many more Indian-themed restaurants in and around Long Eaton waiting to be discovered on Quandoo.
