Local.ingredient in Derby

“Great value for money ,really nice bacon sausage egg cob for breakfast , clean place aswell.”

“First visit to Fanny’s, nice easy to reach location but on the cusp of the countryside. Perfect for cyclists etc. We had the Cooked breakfast which was to die for. You can certainly tell it is locally sourced. Generous portions as well. The staff are welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.”

“My daughter and I had afternoon tea on Tuesday at the Bottle Kiln (to celebrate my birthday), it was absolutely delicious, and there was so much food!! The service was amazing, particular shout out to lovely Zara and Alice who served our table and made our experience extra special.”

“Great Sunday lunch and genuine great service. We went in to see what it was like before booking out the place for a wedding nearby. Loved the food can’t wait to return!!”

“This was our first visit after 10+ years of visiting Barton Marina. Wonderful food, quick and attentive staff and lovely ambience. Visited at 6pm on a Sunday evening. It was fairly quiet but we had booked a table just in case. Food is truly excellent. We had the Thai Marina Favourite Basket starter followed by Gaeng Massaman (chicken), Chu Chee Gung Yai (jumbo prawn), sticky Thai rice and noodles.”

“As a group of 39 people we were all seated in the outdoor pods for sunday lunch on 11th November. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff were polite and friendly. Once seated, it was a matter of minutes before our drinks orders were taken and we got told our pre ordered food wouldn't be long. Considering the size of our group and the pub itself was extremely busy, it was impressive how quickly we all got served. The staff were amazing, nothing asked was too much for them! The food was spectacular! With mainly roast dinners being ordered, no one said a bad word about anything. The meat just fell apart and the portions were generous. I would definitely recommend The Bluebell to anyone visiting the area, although I think booking would be the best option as extremely busy!”

“Our booking was for 20 people. The service was efficient and helpful, and everyone was served in good time. Two people ordered the Aubergine dish, but it wasn't to their taste, an exchange was offered, and no charge was made. It was handled very well. Much appreciated how they sorted out the bill for us to pay individually. Excellent!”

“First time here, since it's been turned into an Indian based menu. With that the selection was reduced, but the food was really nice. All whilst being quite reasonable. It wasn't too busy and the people there were very friendly. Great experience overall”

“Called in today no booking made which is unusual for myself, service and food absolutely great as usual, even though they were busy. As regular visitors to the beacon couldn't recommend it enough. Staff always friendly and polite, food is excellent quality and value for money. Keep up the great work Leah and the team.”

“A pleasant country pub in pretty rural surroundings. I visited with a friend ona busy Friday evening. The staff were friendly, polite, professional and managed that difficult balance of attentiveness and unobtrusiveness perfectly. Both the selection of food available and it’s quality was very good, I will have to go back to try more of the menu soon. There was a wait between ordering and service but that is expected in the context of properly cooked food and I would not want it to change.”

“I dropped in to have a coffee, but on entering, smelling the food and having a sense of calm about the place, I decided to get a menu and have some breakfast. The menu is small but concise and doesn't attempt to be an "everything to everyone" type of eatery. I had the veggie breakfast and it was delicious. Hash browns were fluffy yet crisp on the outside and the whole meal went down nicely. Table service was good although I wasn't too sure whether you pay at the table or at the counter. Food is cooked from fresh and you can tell when it comes out. My only slight negative was I didn't like the butter/spread used on the toast but this is a very minor point. Would definitely visit again and would recommend to all to have a visit. Breakfast and coffee for under a tenner.”

“Had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast here for a birthday treat. I've never had a multiple course breakfasts in this sort of format, so that was interesting. The location is adorable, especially if you can get a window seat. Staff were patient and friendly. The food was amazing! Good quality ingredients, tasteful sauces. The crumpet for my eggs benedict initially looked store bought, but it had much better flavour and texture when eating. Mushrooms on toast was so savoury and creamy, but not overly saucy. The brioche used was not overly sweet, so a good balance for various plates. Would happily return, and looking forward to trying a lunch/dinner menu.”

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

“Will get South Indian food, food is good. Parking is available for 4 to 5 cars but when we arrived, there is no parking, so parked at Abbey street paid parking (£2.5 for 2 hours). Service was also good. Overall rating is GOOD.”

“Good food, quick service times and very friendly staff. Amazing setting, especially in the evening/night”

“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”

“Had a lovely meal with my wife at the Thai Basement in Ashbourne. This had been recommended by our in-laws and it didn’t disappoint. Unlike other local Thai’s, the menu is more catered towards western tastes but the food and service did not disappoint. Would recommend a visit if you’re in the area and would also advise to make a reservation and not just turn up as it gets very busy.”

“pleased to see this pub open its doors again — and it’s better than ever! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a great mix of traditional charm and fresh energy. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was absolutely excellent — beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and generous portions that offer real value for money. You can tell there’s real care and pride going into the menu. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink or a full meal, this place delivers on every level. Great food, great atmosphere, and fantastic value — so good to have this gem back in the community! Highly recommended.”

“Best potatoe chips evers! Hot polite lady serving as well”

“I've lived near Crich for 4 years and have only just got round to eating here. My brother and I arrived early and were worried we'd be the only ones eating there. How wrong we were! Within about half an hour, every table was taken. It's clearly a family business, and everyone at front of house is really lovely and friendly. The real winner here though, is the food. Presentation is absolutely top notch, the portions are generous (we brought some home in a doggy bag!) and the flavours are exquisite. I don't know who the chef is, but they clearly care about food and their art. We REALLY enjoyed our visit here, and will definitely be back. I feel quite lucky that such a great restaurant is located in this sleepy little village - and the rest of the locals clearly feel the same.”

“Best sangria I’ve ever had! Really sweet location next to the river. We didn’t book and just came for drinks and got a seat straight away. The staff were nice. Definitely coming back for more sangria!!”

“Always nice hot staff really friendly”

“Absolutely love the pizza at Caprinos Burton. I had the Asian classic and it was cooked to perfection with a nice spice to it. Service was very quick and hygiene I could not fault. My go to place always for Pizza in Burton!”

“Lovely little restaurant. Great food, great service and all at a good price. Highly recommended”

“Best Chinese around Derby. Fab food. Great customer services. Great value. Thank you.”

“Wow! Absolutely wonderful meal, great little find in Burton, licensed as well. Wife had the Bengal Chicken with mushroom rice. I went vegetarian with the Channa Palak (Chick pea and spinach), with 2 chappattis. Both were mouthwatering and large portions. Wine was perfectly chilled to boot. Will be coming again and added advantage of having parking at the rear of the restaurant. Behind the Magnet showroom. Seemab is a journeyman waiter, attentive, without disrupting the flow of eating and makes good suggestions for alternatives. Will definitely be back!”

“Cannot state how amazing our experience was today. There was a mix up regards our booking and rather than cancel us, they opened up early. Food was freshly prepared and beautiful. A large and diverse selection of ales. Roger was very welcoming and knowledgeable host. Will return”

“Really nice food, the pizza was amazing,along with our side orders. The shakes I can not fault at all they are so tasty. Amazing service and quick delivery. Will be ordering again, and recommending to friends and family.”

“Best chinese food I've had in years. Salt and pepper ribs were fantastic! Definitely will be ordering here from now on.”
