"About five or six years ago, the Link was my top pick for eating out in our area, then it inexplicably closed and changed into a succession of Indian restaurants. Don 't get me wrong fine restaurants in themselves, but the Link was the best Cantonese restaurant I 've ever eaten in. I was so pleased to see that the original owners had returned and reopened it again, but there 's always the worry, would it really be as good as I remembered? Set on the bottom half of Measham 's main street, the Link is a renovated pub, with copious parking to the rear. A decent sized restaurant, with seating suitable for all sizes of party. As it was a quiet Thursday night, we managed to get the round table (more social) with the 'Lazy Susan ' in the middle; great fun was had by all rotating the dishes around the table. The service was as friendly and helpful as I remembered with prawn crackers to munch on whilst you peruse the huge menu. Being rather lazy, we went for the set meal C for 4. Set meals range from around £15 per person for the Vegetarian to about £25 for the full works banquet. The first course was a platter to share with sesame toast, won tons, chicken satay, barbecue ribs, seaweed and spring rolls, all very tasty and a great start to the meal, the chicken satay being particularly flavoursome. The next course was superbly cooked aromatic duck, eloquently served up by the owner; perfectly cooked duck, shredded spring onion and cucumber, with sweet plum sauce perfect! The course pacing was perfect, 15 20 minutes between each course, the TsingTao was flowing down nicely, the signs that the Link had returned with a bang, were good. The main courses were the only thing that could knock this from a 5 star rating, thankfully the four dishes that came with our set meal were largely a triumph, the beef in black bean sauce, just melted in the mouth, the two chicken dishes were bursting with flavour and the seafood dish in a birds nest, had a good variety with scallops, mussels and squid, but lacked a little flavour. The large portion of Yung Chow Rice that came with the main dishes complimented each dish perfectly too. A great meal, overall, I don 't think I 've ever been so happy to see a restaurant return, this will definitely become one of our regular haunts again, happy days!"

The food at this restaurant was incredibly fresh, delicious, and served hot. The service was exceptional and they went above and beyond to make my birthday memorable, even though we didn't mention it when booking. They surprised me with a cake and gift. Thank you - we will definitely be returning.

"Nipped in for a quick bite on a Friday evening. We went up to what looked like the restaurant bar and asked if it was possible to get a table but were directed to the main bar to ask about this. The place was packed- getting served at the internal bar would have been a bit of a fight. Had a similar experience on a visit here before because there's not much space around the bar so you tend to get an impenetrable crowd instead of any sort of line. Eventually managed to get the attention of a member of staff and were told the restaurant was fully booked, however we could sit outside and order food at the bar to our outside table. Would have saved us some time if that was communicated through the team and relayed by the first person we asked instead of sending us to queue elsewhere. We did order to an outside table, and the food was excellent. The small pizzas really are quite small. But if you have a couple of sides they're perfect to not overstuff you. If you want to just eat pizza probably get a large. Also they had really interesting topping selections on the pizzas- I had the spiced aubergine, creme fraiche and honey. It was absolutely delicious. The chips were hot and well seasoned, the greek salad also really nice- I did miss the addition of peppers and would possibly remove the pea shoots and sub in the peppers to improve this and keep it more authentic though. Drinks were nice and the atmosphere inside was quite cosy and outside had a nice vibe with the tasteful lightning and wooden furniture. Would definitely return (but probably make a reservation. It's busy for a reason!"

"We stayed for one night prior to a flight at East Midlands Airport and everything was excellent, from the warm, welcoming staff, to the rooms and the simply delicious food (evening and breakfast). Firstly the pub: food, drinks, restaurant… All excellent. The sign of a great pub for ale drinkers is one with knowledgeable staff who are keen to let you sample before deciding on a pint. This was the case here and we worked through all five real ales during the afternoon and evening! Also a great selection of wines, and everything served in the correct glasses I loved the attention to detail. Then the evening meal in the restaurant area of the pub: this was also excellent, with a great menu and top food, in plentiful portions. Really delicious all ‘round. We didn’t manage desserts but starters and mains all great. The pub/restaurant is well presented inside and out, with a lovely beer garden at the back. Secondly, the hotel rooms: we were in rooms 1 2 and both were lovely. They were well presented, comfy beds, nice hospitality tray (with fresh milk in the in room fridge), nice toiletries. The room rate included breakfast, which was all freshly cooked to order and once again, a great selection. I would 100% stay here again, especially if going to/from East Midlands airport which was less than a 10 minute drive. A lovely, traditional country Inn with excellent food and hospitality. Thank you to the full team."
