“Best Sunday roast around, all my favourite trimmings. Roast carrots, parsinps, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and sausage stuffing. come and give it ago you won't be disappointed.”

“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”

“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!”

“Little Elf Steak Pie - A proper comfort classic. I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional steak pie from Little Elf Kitchen and Cafe on Granby Street Ilkeston, and it didn’t disappoint. The pastry was golden, crisp on the top, and beautifully flaky without being dry or overworked. The real star, though, was the filling – generous chunks of tender beef, slow-cooked until meltingly soft, in a rich but not swimming in, savoury gravy that had real depth of flavour. It struck a perfect balance between seasoning and that comforting, homely feel. I had the pie with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery peas, and a touch of gravy on the side – a classic combo that elevated the experience. This pie was packed with filling which took the pie from excellent to outstanding. All in all, a hearty, satisfying dish that delivered on both taste and tradition. I’d happily have this meal again.”

“I recently dined at this Indian restaurant and was truly impressed by every aspect of the experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional meal. The menu offers a wonderful variety of traditional Indian dishes, and every bite was bursting with authentic flavor. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken — rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The garlic naan was fresh from the tandoor, fluffy on the inside with just the right crisp on the edges. Each dish felt carefully prepared with attention to detail and quality ingredients. Service was prompt and friendly, with staff who were more than happy to offer recommendations and explain the different dishes. Whether you’re new to Indian cuisine or a longtime fan, there’s something here for everyone. If you’re looking for a delicious, satisfying Indian meal, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Lived in Ilkeston for over 20 years, never managed to have a nice Chinese takeaway. We normally go to Oriental Chef in Sandiacre (but have to collect). Tonight we tried Sue's Kitchen, easy to order on the phone, quick delivery, food was nice & hot and it tasted great too.”

“We’ve started regularly ordering from here after some time away. I like to think I’m somewhat of a Kebab connoisseur. And I have to say around Ilkeston Midland are the best. The portion sizes and value for money is amazing and the donner meat is especially good with amazing flavours. Will always recommend these to people.”
