Outdoor dining in Derby

“What an amazing hidden gem of a restaurant! We ordered the three-course set menu, and every dish was delicious. The best naan bread i've ever had too! The atmosphere was nice and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Highly recommended!”

“Amazing restaurant with truly delicious Polish food! The Zrazy were done perfectly and tasted just like home. What really stood out was the hospitality, the owner gave us the warmest welcome we’ve ever received in the UK. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Ordered steak , it was so amazing cooked and taste very nice! The portion was very good, couldn't even finish all chips ! There is no place in derby with same taste of steak. Highly recommended. Interior inside amazing, really love it. Friendly staff. Definitely come back to try something more from Greek cuisine!”

“Lovely atmosphere for get together. Food was really nice huge portions and well worth the price. Service was pretty good and very friendly. Definitely be returning.”

“Absolutely amazing restaurant, amazing food and by far fair prices. The staff here are so accepting of all people. The staff that work here in my eyes are so accepting of all race's and cultures. Never experienced a time here as to where I haven’t left the restaurant with a full stomach and huge smile on my face. Would recommend this place to anybody.”

“Great food in a relaxing atmosphere. The staff and service are brilliant and they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Been here many times over the last few years and really enjoy walking round the marina where this restaurant is located as well. Nice to have places like this within a short drive.”

“Been a few times and the food and service never disappoints. 5 stars all the way from me.”

“Ordered a mirror via Click & Collect on 06/11 and went to pick it up, only to realise the car was just a bit too small! Thankfully, Courtney came to our rescue — she was absolutely amazing. She was so patient and friendly, laughed along with my mum and me as we tried all sorts of ideas to make it fit, and went above and beyond to help us. In the end, we managed to get it in the car, and we couldn’t have done it without her”

“You can buy just about anything for the home at this B&Q. Had a garden centre to buy didn't visit this time. Shop was very quiet. Maybe because of school holidays. I was really able to find the items that I was looking for and paid, trouble free at self checkout.”

“Aqeel’s customer service is amazing. Food is ready and time and food qualities is amazing fresh and hot. How did you recommend?”

“Food was very nice and good quality great selection lots to choose from will definitely visit again. Really enjoyed the dumplings and the chicken curry good flavour the Thai green curry had just the right amount of spice.”

“We were visiting Tutbury, and stumbled across this lovely café. We only had drinks but even those were nice. The caramel latte is my favourite ☕ The staff were helpful and friendly. The toilets are on the left hand side of the café, and we're spacious and clean. I would recommend this café.”

“Step towards this restaurant and be transported instantly to a wonderful Greek experience. From the groups sat outside conversing to the warm family atmosphere inside. The service from Sofia and Elvis was excellent, food was lovely and reminiscent of dining in a family home in Greece. Thank you for a nice dining experience, right in the heart of Derby city, tucked away in St Peter's Churchyard... Will definitely be returning!”

“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.”

“Great little place and good range of tasty food, made one mistake ordering the white bait as not my thing but was actually very nice. Lots of variety of food and it comes out fresh out the oven or pan which is nice. Very cosy and busy so best to reserve a table”

“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”

“From just looking at the menu the food seems really basic and overpriced and I do find it difficult to justify spending £9.95 on lunch (with the small portion option) but while the ingredients are simple the portion you get for small is filling and as they say the ingredients truly are fresh and delicious. My favourites were the daal and hot potatoes. The main protein I had, chicken breast, seemed bland at first glance but actually tasted very good. Unfortunately I forgot to take additional pictures below the top layer. I think I'd only get this for lunch on special occasions but I think I would get the better value medium for dinner more often, I can't imagine finishing a medium bowl in one sitting. 2: I finally found an excuse to go again and it was really good. I had the salmon this time, which cost £2.50 extra ! It was quite good, a touch fishy. I had the daal, chicken curry, beef rice thingy. It was all quite filling and good.”

“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).”

“We were hoping for something a little different for a treat and after finding this place rang before ordering to check they could accommodate a very picky child. They were incredibly friendly and polite on the phone, the food was still hot when it arrived and was packaged really well (even the hot chocolate survived an uber driver getting lost). It was absolutely delicious, roasts were crispy,meat melted in your mouth, and the gravy and Yorkshires were perfect. Honestly couldn't fault a thing if we wanted to.”

“By far the best pizza place in Derby! We don’t go anywhere else for pizza now. Always perfect pizzas, on time and awesome staff. Family owned business for years and my partner has been using them since he was a kid and says they’ve always been brilliant!! Absolutely amazing!!”

“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!”

“Beautiful place. And the cafe was lovely too. The staff were really nice and pleasant. Very nice place to have lunch. Highly recommend lakeside Bistro.”

“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.”

“We ordered big plate of different Indian dishes The Badshah Platter and we wasn't dissapointed at all. All food was tasty, especially masala chips and Malai Garlic Tikka bought me :) We had to wait around 30min to get food but we didnt feel that to be honest. Price was fair enough for 4 people. We didnt order any desserts as we were full. Definietly recommend this place, will back next time for sure.”

“The food was so flavourful, and everything tasted freshly made. The staff were kind, patient, and made great recommendations. The whole atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back!”

“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.”
