Food establishment in Ilkeston

“Great breakfast with really quick and friendly service. Well priced and it was apparent the ingredients were kocaly sourced and or home made, proper sausages, home made hash browns and beautiful thick cut bacon.”

“Absolutely amazing food! A lovely hidden gem, definitely worth a visit!”

“Love the variety they have. We have been using this shop for years. Never disappointed with the quality or price. We love that they do both Chinese and chippy. It gives us the best of both.”

“Absolutely lovely breakfast, went down a treat, super friendly and very quick service.”

“I have come here several times and always enjoyed the food and the service all the staff go out their way to make sure you enjoy your food and experience. I definitely highly recommend it for all your tastes and not over priced either. They also do takeaway options aswell as on Justeat”

“Went here the other night. It was empty so I was a bit skeptical. However made to feel right at home. It was interesting we HAD to order food and drinks separately but that didn't matter. The food was passable but prices were cheap so I can deal with that. The staff were really friendly. The young woman hosting was smiley and friendly so this review is more for the customer services and vibe of the venue. Anywhere that plays Pearl Jam is a ok in my book.”

“When you’re desperate for a hot drink and you see the cafe is closing, this man went above and beyond to make me the best takeaway hot chocolate. Well done Jilly’s Cafe and I will be back again.”

“I had this on my radar to visit for quite a while and I wasn't disappointed. Popped in for a quick one and was greeted by a lovely lady who was pleasant and helpful with the craft ales they currently had. Very nice atmosphere it was nicely busy with range of different aged people all just out for a quiet drink.”

“Went for lunch. The cafe was busy but managed to get a table for 3 of us. Lovely views infront of the glass floor to ceiling windows of the surrounding area. Prices are quite high, however this outweighed by the quality and selection of the food. I had quiche of the day which came with a plate full off salad and pasta with a door wedge size of quiche. Well worth the money! Good selection of drinks available with a promot service. The selection of cakes are definitely tempting as well. Will definitely pay another visit l.”

“Only went for a meal in roosters bar. Very busy good idea to book. Great good. Wide choice. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Beautiful surroundings.”

“Lovely cafe, great view and wonderful food will happily go again. It was father's day so was a busier day but it has a good atmosphere. These good amount of parking with an over spill area. Will be going back on a sunnier day for sure. Nice little wonder around the windmill just outside.”

“Can't fault the food or service. The pricing is significantly lower than some of the other venues in the surrounding villages. £23 for a Cheddar Ploughman's platter, Chilli & Rice, and two teas. I feel this would be pushing £30 elsewhere. It's all good.”

“Really nice friendly and cosy pub serving great ales and food at very reasonable prices. Added extra is they have a small camp site.”

“What a burger, really nice. I had the Mexican burger and my daughter had the buttermilk chicken. You get a really decent size portion of chips too. I admit, burger wasn’t massive but with the chips it was really filling. Comes wrapped in ‘newspaper’ love that and then in a massive box. You get a few warm wet wipes as well. For me, love this as I have a big beard and came in handy. Top marks, will definitely be back”

“Great cafe, great food, great value, great service. I go to cafes all over the UK, trust me this is a a GEM!”

“Fantastic service and very polite very happy. Great food and great coffee.”

“Good honest quality food very reasonable prices. Great pies and super breakfasts.”

“Photo doesn't do this place justice, the food is exceptional! Really tasty burger and great lunchtime deal. Only thing that could do better is more selections for the deal. Best burger joint in ilkeston in my eyes”

“Fantastic traditional pub with great selection of drinks, friendly bar staff, outdoor seating and chill out areas. The prices were really good compared to the city centre so it's definitely worth a walk up to if you are visiting Nottingham. There was a beer festival on for the weekend when we attended with some excellent local hand pulls.”

“Despite being really busy they managed to seat us at a comfortable table. They advised was going to be 30 mins which we were happy at, and it was pretty much bang on 30 mins when it arrived and it was well worth the wait. The staff were very pleasant and food was spot on. First time since it had the make over but we will back again! Thank you so much.”

“What a great old school village pub this is! If you want really (and I mean this most sincerely folks) well kept, perfect cask beers then this is the place! I love real ales and was spoiled for choice with 4 cracking beers. As it was around lunch time on a Sunday I could see some lovely looking plates of food being served. My wife and I both commented that we will pop back soon and partake of the munchies, so will let you know how we got on. The locals and staff were great and enjoyed a chat and also met some nice well behaved dawgs too. The pub has camping on site apparently and what a lovely location that would be here in lovely rural surroundings. We will be back soon and pull in some pub grub as well!”

“16th October 2024, we visited the Old Black Horse, and it was the Wednesday Night Pie night. We had a really good night. The price was fantastic. You can also order off the normal menu. The pies are first-rate and as good as any I have tasted before. The staff are really nice being professional and very friendly at the same time. We have been a number of times and had the Carvary. This is one of the tastest I have tasted, and the price is resealable.”

“Always a welcoming atmosphere with lovely staff. The food is amazing, especially the quiche (to die for) and very well presented, and very filling.”

“Absolutely amazing food, full of flavors without the greasy aftertaste. Well worth a visit. To start was the tandori panier and the fish amritsari, genuinely great taste the food was piping hot and didn't taste like it was pre-made. The main course wasn't on the menu as I had asked what the server preferred, but it's his take on the garlic chilli chicken curry, except it was made with lamb and had his unique taste of spices. It was delicious and was complimented with lemon rice. The other main was chicken biryani. And this was definitely made fresh the chicken was perfect. Overall the food was outstanding, but what let's it down unfortunately is the outside entrance doesn't do it any favors, I would highly recommend giving jhakhas a try.”

“Didn't have any food here so cannot comment on that but have nipped in a couple of times for refreshment, sadly not a lot to keep me here for long but it's a nice pub all the same, have always felt welcome, often a few familiar faces dotted around so another nice pub here for me, friendly atmosphere.”

“Stopped off with friends to break up a journey - lovely family- friendly pub with a cute cream tea room with real cream teas and little dachshunds, and a straightforward bar with a good choice of ales and cider - nice local feel.”

“Always friendly and warm reception. Food excellent value for money and really tasty....very good. Highly recommended. I will be back!”

“One of the best public houses in the world! Now that the refurbishment has been completed, it looks incredible! Always a fantastic night to be had and amazing staff who are polite and knowledgeable!”

“Great portion and great food all for a great price. Best breakfast ive had for a long time. Highly recommend”

“Took my two dogs here for a coffee date with a friend. The staff member was super friendly and welcoming to the dogs and provided them with treats. Lovely clean Cafe .100% recommended”
