Restaurant in Derby

“What a fantastic real ale pub with a great selection of beers, with a variety brewed on site, and all at a very reasonable price particularly if you’ve got a CAMRA membership. Tried several beers all of which were very tasty and exceptionally well kept. The pub has a traditional feel with several different rooms, and railway associated memorabilia. Staff were very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Food is available although I only managed the delicious Cheese and Onion Cob. Well worth a visit and handy for both the railway and bus stations.”

“On a random trip to Derby we decided to eat lunch here. Great food for a good price. The portion size was good too! I would go again.”

“Wanted a dirty burger, this was the best option after some research as a tourist. Walked in, ordered on the screens, sat down and food was with me in less than 10 minutes. Friendly staff, clean restaurant with plenty of seating. 5* burger. Everything in the photo cost £21. Keep up the good work!”

“We absolutely adored this little gem the room was lovely and the staff were so helpful and lovely The food was delicious and a fantastic menu and lovely breakfast too The only thing I could recommend they do is put a mirror in the bedroom area of the family room”

“Lovely little place tucked away off the Main Street. The food was lovely, lamb and mint burger pictured. The staff were so friendly and accommodating.”

“Nice pub and food was amazing.Tried Texas chicken melt and chicken burger which were delightful. Lot of parking space. thanks to the staffs for their great service.”

“Stayed here for one night in late November in one of their cosy Wildhives, it is a lovely escape. The room was beautifully rustic and comfortable, a touch chilly on a crisp Derbyshire evening, but the blankets were plush and it added to that authentic outdoor vibe. Location is a total winner: 5 minutes’ walk to the Ashbourne end of the Tissington Trail. We strolled up to Tissington village. Next time we’ll definitely hire one of their bikes or e-bikes (they have plenty available on site) and ride the full 13-mile trail. The food… I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s some of the best I’ve ever had anywhere. Dinner was outstanding: perfectly seared scallops to start, followed by calf’s liver cooked pink and silky with incredible depth of flavour, finished with a cracking local cheeseboard and a glass of port by the fire. Breakfast the next morning was just as good – proper quality ingredients, everything cooked spot-on. And the cherry on top: we booked a 60-minute massage in the little spa on Sunday morning before checkout. Absolute bliss. My therapist was brilliant, worked out every knot after knot, and we both floated out completely relaxed. The perfect full-stop to the stay. Peaceful, beautiful, friendly staff, incredible food and that spa treatment sent us home properly recharged. If you’re anywhere near the Peak District, do yourself a favour and book Wildhive. You won’t regret it.”

“We took some friends here last night and had a really lovely meal - the scallop starter and halibut main course were particularly good and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Attentive staff and a nice atmosphere”

“We came to try the new menu and were not disappointed. The new management have done an excellent job, there was a lovely atmosphere and the restaurant looked beautiful. The food was amazing, and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Excellent value for for money, will definitely be back.”

“A Fantastic Dining Experience at The Queen’s Head We had a wonderful evening at The Queen’s Head. The pork tomahawk and sirloin steak were both cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Paired with a lovely bottle of red wine, the meal was truly memorable. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, making us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and a warm atmosphere!”

“Called here on way home from day at Alton towers. Would recommend to any passing visitors. Friendly welcome, all food freshly prepared and tasty. We had pizza and it was delicious.”

“Absolutely excellent pub. Service really was first rate, Michelin star-like. Goats cheese starter was very fresh. Can’t go wrong with a pint of Marstons Pedigree. Two EV chargers in the car park.”

“Hands down they make the best momos, its so juicy and flavourful I had to order twice. The rest of the food was equally tasty. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Checked up on us every now and then. Amazing service and the food was 10/10, will definitely come again.”

“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.”

“Had the best night at The Bell for Dining Club! The food was absolutely amazing – every course was spot on and so tasty. Big shoutout to Max and Jack in the kitchen – you guys smashed it. The staff were all lovely and made the whole evening feel super relaxed and fun. Honestly can’t fault a thing – just great vibes, incredible food, and brilliant service from start to finish. Already planning our next visit. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out!”

“The welcome we got was superb the specials were explained very clearly. The food was excellent and presented very well. We will definitely be back even though they are an hour and a half away from our house. Oh and they are most definitely OPEN”

“We recently had a large family Christmas meal at The Palfrey, and it was an excellent experience. The private room was beautifully arranged and provided a great atmosphere for our gathering. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The selection of craft beers was a real highlight, offering something for everyone. The food was very well prepared and full of flavour. The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the mussels were fresh and enjoyable. Every dish was clearly made with care, and the presentation was spot on. Overall, it was a fantastic venue for our family celebration. We’d definitely recommend The Palfrey for anyone looking for good food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Lovely location, building and outdoor area. I used the car park whilst doing the Anchor Church Trail and popped in for a pint after. The service from James was superb, not just to me, but consistently from what I observed, I’d say the best I’ve personally witnessed, kind & personable. Great pint as well, would recommend.”

“The Boot is half walk to meet my mom, and we’ll 100% be back. Fabulous location just off the A38, and plenty of parking. The food was sublime and a wine list to generously accompany the dishes. A running theme with all my reviews is that I like a nice wine list and the Boot offers exactly that. The food was so fresh and full of flavour, beautifully presented. A real Gastro Pub that welcomes dogs which is important for us as a family of dog owners, who enjoy the finer things. Thank you to the wonderful Heidi who look after us, you made mom’s birthday experience thorough enjoyable. We’ll be back!”

“So came here in April 25 for a casual dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday. 4 year old daughter was in tow. The spring menu was Italian themed. I have to say that this is a proper gastro pub. The food is excellent. Really high quality and very very tasty. Portion size is good so you won’t leave hungry. Expresso martinis are delicious as was the wine. As it was my wife’s birthday they brought out a brownie and a candle and some ice cream for my daughter just so she wouldn’t feel left out. Luckily this is in vicinity and is out go to place when we want some decent food and a nice night out. We’ll be back.”

“We hired The Little Kitchen for our works Christmas night out, and Donna and her team never fail to impress. They are so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely can’t do enough for you. We had the turkey Christmas dinner, which was absolutely delicious — a proper home-cooked meal with plenty of veg options. The red cabbage was especially amazing! There were two dessert choices, and I went for the chocolate one, which was so nice. They even let us bring along our own silly team games, which was perfect for our very competitive group. This was our second year returning, and we honestly wouldn’t find anywhere better for quality food and such a warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you once again”

“Really nice bright clean takeaway. I had fish, chips and mushy peas. Fish was excellent. Thick piece of fish in lovely crispy batter. 10/10 *****”

“Great cosy traditional pub and restaurant. Food was beautiful with good table service. Must recommend the dessert lemon cheesecake, raspberry sorbet with scattered fresh raspberries. Divine”

“Saved for next time we visit derby. Nice friendly staff good portions and good food. Thank you!”

“Great service, great food and lovely elderly man always serves me, will be back..”

“Excellent pub, great for family gatherings, weddings, and funeral wakes! The food is delicious, and they even put on some vegan options for me! The front door folds back to allow access for wheelchair users and various accessible toy go to the left of the bar”

“The food here was stunning. Chose 3 options from the £4.95 menu including the mac n cheese and the loaded fries and we weren't disappointed by any. All 3 were superb.. really tasty and filling. Will definitely be returning and recommending ... A perfect 1st visit.. 5*”

“Stopped here to grab some breakfast and it was a lovely experience. The cafe was well decorated and cozy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Good selection of breakfast options from various toasts to waffles. The coffee was top notch as well and the food tasted as good as it looks. Would recommend trying the waffles with bacon. Will definitely visit again when possible. Free street parking available up to an hour.”

“My friend and I went for a late lunch, the staff were lovely, it was very clean and the cafe had a lovely atmosphere. We both opted for jacket potatoes and were eyeing up the wonderful cake selection. On this occasion we didn't cave into the sweet tooth but we both plan on a return visit so that we can try them out. I highly recommend this little gem.”

“Here, seen it's a cyclist cafe so it"s a 5 straight away. Going to be full breakfast with Coffee, eyed up the cake already. You know when the food is good, this place is, cheers girls.”
