“Great service, very quick and good atmosphere. Fresh brew coffee amazing.”

“Visiting Mulberry Bistro, highly recommended on Google Maps, was an outstanding experience. The atmosphere was inviting, setting the stage for an exceptional lunch. The food quality amazed us, with each dish showcasing freshness and flavor that exceeded our expectations. Service was the cherry on top—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Mulberry Bistro lives up to its high rankings, offering a dining experience that both surprises and delights. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking for culinary excellence.”

“Drove into town to try this place. Really pleased we did. Kebab meat is the best in Burton by a good margin. Fresh cooked with homemade curry sauce. Nan breads fresh as well. Was told they will be on Uber eats this week hopefully as new place. Highly recommend.”

“Our second time here, first time trying the grazing menu. Food was absolutely outstanding. Louis made our experience special and memorable. Sam and Sadie were very efficient too. Totally recommended. Big thank you for our Instagram competition prize.”

“Book a table! We visited on the strength of other reviews and it was excellent. No pizzas on the menu (unless we missed them), which pushed the kids to try some of the pasta-dishes, which did not disappoint. Finished off with some proper gelato (can recommend the coffee flavour).”

“A fantastic selection of sweet and savouries with really friendly staff. The best egg custard I have ever tasted and I have tasted a few, believe me!”

“Incredible place, food was delicious and staff were super friendly to talk to. Couldn't recommend more.”

“The owners of the cafe are very nice ladies, friendly to everyone and they serve food themselves. I liked the fet cheese on sourdough (with avocado and nuts), and also the egg on sourdough was lovely. Feels like home. Definitely recommending it”

“My partner and I rang up to book a table late on bank holiday Sunday and luckily they squeezed us in. First time visiting and it is a lovely setting a small restaurant, it doesn't have much branding on the outside but looks like they have a lot of regulars! Staff were lovely prices were very reasonable and the food was lush! Good portion sizes too! My only quarrel is that the steak cheese burger I had said it was American cheese but it was more of a sauce (see in my photo) than a cheese slice which wasn't to my taste but that is more of a preference and just something I thought I'd make people aware of. Lovely restaurant!”

“Thoroughly enjoyed food and drink at this establishment a few days ago. Great range of pies with choice of sides. Food tasted great and ample portions. Lovely, efficient staff.”

“The Bridge Inn is an awesome place, located near the canals, it has an amazing view. The food is Italian. Today we had the Bridge Inn special which is fantastic. Really recommend this place.”

“It felt like traveling in Thailand all over again. There was great food and amazing experience for me and my family. It was also very quit and peaceful. And it wasn’t expensive at all.”

“We love this place and always make a point of visiting whenever we’re in the area to see family. The atmosphere, service, and offerings never disappoint, making every visit a pleasure.”

“Came here for the first time tonight after the refurb, Finn is an asset to the team, he went above and beyond. Great at delegating professionally to make things run as effectively as possible! Only thing I would say is that the chips could be made more crispier as they were on the dryer side. I do hope Finn gets the recognition he deserves for providing excellent customer service.”

“We use Sweet Retreat more often than I'd like to admit. Always very fast with delivery and never any issues with the puddings, always great value.”

“We had a breakfast, delicious, coffee good. Excellent value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Met a lady who was meeting her friends, she's been going there for 20 years!! We will definitely go there next visit to Loughborough. The owner was really friendly and asked about our visit, really pleasant people.”

“A friend and I arrived without booking and the staff were very accommodating, we had to depart by 7.30, but arriving at 6.15 gave us plenty of time. I had king prawn and chorizo penne which was really good. Followed by cheese cake accompanied by a glass of fizz. Really good food and very good service.”

“We hadn't visited for a few year's, but I used to bring my grandmother regularly for lunch before she went in a nursing home. Booking there today after her funeral was the perfect farewell. We booked a table for 7 people, we had a mixture of the main menu and the festive menu. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly and excellent value for money. It was a lovely atmosphere and we had the loveliest of servers. Thank you so much, we will make sure we return more often”

“Regular lunch trip for me and my work colleague.. never dissapointed .. phone order and collection ... ready and waiting upon arrival... Great staff who actually smile too !! 5* keep up the monster cob service!”

“Food is alway on point. My order last night came 20 mons after I placed it. An entire hour earlier than expected. Consistently great service!”

“lovely food and great service. Some a good time eating here. Bear in mind Friday can be noisy.”

“I stayed in Derby for a week and tried a few different places for breakfast. I found the book cafe to be the best. Excellent quality food. Particularly enjoyed the scrambled eggs which were light and flurry. Every item on the plate was of good quality. The location of the cafe is very central and the quirky ambience adds to the experience. Only slightly marked down service as there was no table service, only order at the bar was available but that said the staff were nice and friendly. I’d gladly return to the book cafe in the future and recommend to others”

“Great bar and restaurant, really enjoyed our meal in beautiful olde world surroundings. Friendly staff too!”

“Love it here ! We go all the time. Food is amazing ! Well worth the money. Lots of choice with food and drink.”

“Really enjoyed the desserts, friendly staff and good portions. Visited again on 26th June and really enjoyed it. Staff were really friendly and polite.”

“The food is very nice plus pudding, cakes. Drinks piping hot. Also with it being in a garden centre you have the best of both worlds, having some fun in the garden centre with Xmas around the corner plenty of Xmas things to look at”

“Great food, amazing and friendly people. Even fixed my order when I made a mistake, simply perfect”

“Last night, Saturday night at Annie’s, we truly experienced what it means to receive 5 star food, service, atmosphere. Upon arrival of the establishment we were met by a funny, blonde, Viking they/them with colourful hair clips who let us in and welcomed us through the door. What was immediately striking about Lukas, was his excitement of the soundtrack that could already be heard from the booming of the speakers inside the ambient room to the side. The delicate selection of fine and delicious snacks, of many variety, satiated each of us as we entered the room. The second thing that was clear was the abundance of love and joy which was shared by all of us and those from Annie’s. It was clear only pleasure that night was to be had. As we all settled in, delicious drinks of all assortments, to name a few: a selection of wine, Coke Zero, sparkling water, beer, and a delicate cocktail made by the super cool guy with short hair. What made his offering of the cocktail even more exciting, was the fact that he was throwing the bottles in the air, doing little tricks and spins as he went, as if telling us we could all achieve such skill if we were as depth as him. Also, we loved ! His earrings! We loved Jago! In the next room over, once snacks, food, drinks - they had everything we wanted, mushrooms & broccoli. The most charming, sexy, Jewish lady we’d all ever seen showed us her table of magnificent collaging. Hannah was so so fun and helpful, we all made a chosen word poem and then let it get weird! Amazing dinner time entertainment! As if entertainment couldn’t get any better, the really hot guy who kind of took you on very long journeys of conversation, George, who seemed to be the host but then ended up being the director for the night, orchestrated a reading of his up and coming play, Celestial Trash Recycling. After that, the night became open to anyone else who wanted to share something with the group. It was cool that it was made clear that it absolutely didn’t have to be something serious, I’m pretty sure I pulled out one of my presentation slides of fun (sorry I just seem to get riled up about the Reformation and Protestant Iconoclasm at the moment). Maybe we all did a dance?? Gosh, I can’t remember! But we must of been having fun. After we had enjoyed our silliness, Imi started to DJ- which sounded so cool because I could never of imagined it sounding so good in that room! CGI baby - have you heard of them? Well they started to play! We’d all listened to some really dodgy phone recordings, but to hear it live just made it even more certain that they are one of our favourite duo’s. What made the music even cooler was that super cool fairy guy, Jago (queer?), he stared getting us to dance with was so much fun and a lot of laughs. He did an amazing set after. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for making my birthday a memorable one this year!”
