Arthur's in Amber Valley

After following Arthurs online for a while I was excited to finally try the tasting menu, however this just didn't live up to expectations. Whilst the food was nice, it wasn't anything amazing and given the price of the 10 course menu I'd say you can get a lot better for your money else where. There was some smoked fudge at the end that quite frankly tasted like eating a cigarette butt. Also the service was just not up to par for a fine dining experience, smoke and the smell of fish filled the restaurant from the moment we entered, serving staff were leaning over the table every time they put the food down, additional cutlery was placed on the table and we were expected to share this around rather than placing it for every one and overall it was just very slow with very little interaction from anyone and no explanation of the dishes. A final mention for the toilet (only 1 in the building), this was disgusting! The room was dirty and dingy and the floor was soaking wet.

We booked well in advance for this popular restaurant and ate on a Friday night. As we’d not been before we were slightly apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on here, but we had a lovely experience. We’d come prepared with our own wine, and some chilled water was put on our table for us. We had the 5 course menu and found it really interesting and different. I had the cod and ox cheek bourguignon main and loved how the flavours went together. The chocolate tart recipe has been improved since the chef read comments on here and was delicious, not dry at all. The staff were lovely, attentive and knowledgeable about the food. We didn’t feel rushed and were able to pause before dessert. All in all a great night. I know Arthur’s is moving in the new year to the old Fox and hounds pub at Coxbench so it will be interesting to revisit then.

Visited last night and was really impressed. Great flavours and superbly presented

After being recommended to go to Arthur’s me and my wife came for the 10 course November menu. The food was absolutely incredible. Every course was wonderful. The staff were really nice. I’d recommend it to everyone. The only thing id change is making it closer to my house.

We visited on a Thursday evening. The food was delicious throughout all of the 5 courses and it was nice to see an open kitchen. Service was attentive and it was good to be allowed to bring our own wine.

Initially struggled to gain entry as the door was stuck. This may have been due to the excessive moisture that completely coated the large windows. Our greeting was prompt and we were shown to our table. The first two courses arriving almost simultaneously, I would have expected to finish one before the next was brought. The mains were pretty decent but the chocolate fondant tart was quite dry with a very small scoop of ice cream. The next 'course' was a small piece of smoked fudge about 2cm big, followed by a course of coffee. The toilet is very much in need of refurbishment, ill-fitting and mis-matched taps is not what I would expect in this sort of venue.

Amazing food, atmosphere and service

I was really looking forward to dining here after reading great reviews but, although a nice evening was had, we left feeling slightly disappointed. The staff were friendly and nothing was any trouble. They were attentive and prompt with our meal. We had the 5 course tasting menu £45 and took our own wine as it is a BYOB restaurant. The venison was an outstanding dish! Really wonderful meat and cooked and seasoned beautifully. Bread (which is classed as a course) and the soup were nice but not very memorable. The apple tart tartan was served stone cold. The pastry was hard as nails and would of benefited from being warmed up a bit. The smokey fudge was not at all smokey. None of the menus flavours of any of the dishes were punchy. The restaurant was uncomfortably hot and had left over decorations and pin nails still in the walls near their rather unimpressive bookcase. All looked a bit tired and in need of a bit of a re-paint. I really hate writing this as I feel I sound a right snob but the place really needs some nice linen. There I said it! For a £45 tasting menu I would expect a proper linen napkin and the tea towel that the servers delivered our plates to us was tatty and I've seen cleaner ones.... The toilets had no hand towels and the toilet in the pub we went to beforehand was more pleasant than here. This is a lovely place with very nice staff but with nothing "special" about it's visit. I really, really wanted to love it with it being local and using local produce but our evening was just OK.

Second time we've been and the 10 courses were amazing. Rich and bursting with flavor. Fun menu. The service has improved as well

The restaurant is lovely and small. The toilet is not what you'd expect from this kind of restaurant with only one toilet (no disabled) and it is not nice at all with mis matched taps and bars at the window. We were there for the food, which varied from amazing on one course through to basic on others, such as a cheesy croquette on one course didn't have the flavour you'd expect from this kind of restaurant. It didn't help a lot of the courses came luke warm, one with cold pasta on which I think hugely impacted the taste. It's a shame as it's a tiny restaurant so I don't know how it sat for long enough or whether it's pre prepared and they didn't heat it through entirely. It is good you can bring your own drinks, we were never offered a drinks menu so we weren't sure if they sold soft drinks on top so maybe bring these too if you are going as there was no sign anywhere of people having any drinks given. Overall I potentially would try again as it is good value if it was hot food with consistent flavouring incase it was one bad night but if it's the same again I wouldn't recommend.

Great. Not cheap. Five or ten courses. You must book. Very snazzy food. You will still feel full afterward. Service excellent.

Somewhere we have visited many times and it is always amazing! Innovative, delicious food; friendly staff and service and we always leave with a smile on our faces!

Service was disappointing… we had the 5 course meal and it all felt very rushed. Attended for my husbands 30th birthday and was expected to leave after 1 hour and 15 minutes. We were asked if we wanted a break before the dessert and I said yes please, but within minutes, dessert was on the table. It’s a shame as we have been wanting to go for a long time and saved it for a special occasion and overall I’d call it quite underwhelming.

I visited Arthur’s recently with my partner and we tried the 10 course taster menu, we left feeling a little underwhelmed especially considering the cost of the meal. We didn’t enjoy the food as much as we anticipated. The wild garlic velouté was tasty but the rarebit was hard & difficult to eat, I’m not a fan of really hard crusty bread. I didn’t enjoy the monkfish dish, I didn’t feel the flavours worked, the monkfish was stone cold and not pleasant to eat, the mango sauce & curry sauce which was quite bitter didn’t work. The fish “sausage” was interesting. The steak was tender and I enjoyed the potato but the sauce was very unpleasant, it tasted like very bitter marmite, I couldn’t eat it. The ice lolly was delicious, but the rhubarb tart was underwhelming and the jam tarts & jellies seemed pointless. The pork burger was tasty enough but forgettable. We didn’t feel the meal was worth the money, sorry.

Party of three for a birthday meal Have been wanting to visit for ages, and this was a surprise for my birthday Warm welcome, attentive staff Food amazing, we all had 5 course Fish course lovely, as was the lamb Peach and raspberry tart was divine Will definitely return

We often do taster menus and were excited for this one which was nice but not wow. Some down points Basic IKEA cutlery which I hate One of my plates was chipped No one asked us if we wanted the cheese course The toilet is very small and a tight squeeze to get in and out. The bin is also very small for disposing of paper towels. The atmosphere could be improved Would also appreciate the cork being returned from our wine as we didn't finish it all and took it home. The food was well presented, and the prescatarion option was good. For me the pickled egg was too pickled and overpowering, the peach Melba tart was slightly under baked on the pastry and it was a shame the final trio of sweets were not the same as the menu. Highlights for me were the smoked fudge and onion compot.

Following our experience, I have written directly to the restaurant and had no response, which is another minus. What follows is an edited version of that contact. Following our visit yesterday evening I want to pass on some of our observations which I hope you will take on board constructively. We received a warm and pleasant greeting on arrival. The main front of house was helpful throughout and we would say that she was making every effort to please. Our enquiries about timings and serving pauses were answered efficiently and several requests during the meal responded to similarly, once attention had been gained, which wasn't always easy as both servers were prone to being pass / kitchen facing, chatting, rather than looking at the restaurant. On the table a candle was lit and producing black smoke, at least in part because the wick had not been trimmed. Perhaps, also because mit is a Wilko citronella candle and not intended for indoor use? Unfortunately, we had poured wine in to a glass before realising that there was lipstick residue on mine. Obviously, one would never expect a dirty glass to reach table! I asked about your glass cleaning procedure and was told that it included a post wash steam and polish - evidently this had not happened. Service proceeded satisfactorily, the duck roll was lovely, swiftly followed by the sourdough etc. and the veloute. We were left wondering why all had come together, but presumed that it was to allow the soup to cool down? Or is there some other reason? After a pause, we had the Caesar Salad wherein the lettuce base was fresh and crispy. We would suggest that croutons be more in evidence and a good deal less anchovy - it was oversalty and unpleasant. The fish course..... had a piece of something blue on the underside. The explanation offered was that this was a piece of j- cloth on which the fish had been resting. However,..... I would suggest this may have been a fragment of catering elastoplast, or.... blue catering / serving glove... Psomething else with a more plastic than paper or cloth content. Other than it being my wife's birthday and not wishing to cause embarrassment, at this point we would have left. Having persevered, we enjoyed the meat course and the dessert marrow tart was a treat. The lemon curd was not what we recognise as a curd, seeming overly rigid - too much cornflour, gelatin? -and the balm leaves also contained stalks. Extra hot water for coffee should not be delivered in a cup - it is not suitable as a pouring vessel. The toilet space was found to be clean and tidy EXCEPTthat the sink needs a good 'shine up' clean and if at all possible an extra touch of general niceness adding to the little room. We would also suggest that you aim to deliver a more leisurely feel/experience. We felt there was somewhat of an air of hurry in the room, that dishes were put on the table more than placed for example; the chef hurrying out at 9:10, no interaction with diners, did not give a good impression. In summary : a lack of attention to details marred what we expected to be an at least near fine dining experience and means that we had far less than good value on this occasion. As already said, I hope that you and your team may find the above constuctive. I addition to the above: one of the sauces was delivered in a cracked and chipped dish, we had to ask for a wine cooler ( rather than being asked). Various elements of the menu were more akin to a finger buffet or hors doeuvre selection than meal ( even allowing for the usually smaller parts to a tasting menu). Overall, just too much that was really not good enough and at £140 for two ( no drinks), very poor value.

What can I say but give it a go, if you haven't your are really missing out on something rather special, great food, great hosts & great atmosphere....

Chef patron Leo and his team certainly knocked it out of the park with this menu. It's probably one of his best so far. This is unusually a BYOB restaurant. So if you like a drink with your meal don't forget to bring a bottle. The staff are lovely and friendly. Our advice is to get yourself booked into this amazing dining experience before certain guides catch up.

Dinner. Last minute booking 10 course tasting menu £70 Using the best locally sourced ingredients. We thought we had missed this incredible menu,but they had carried it on for another week, luckily. Snack-Sausage and cheese muffin Crich sourdough, salted butter, onion compote, beef dripping Wild garlic velouté, truffled rarebit Wye valley asparagus, fresh peas, broad beans, lamb bolognese, spring herbs.* *It's one of the tastiest lamb dishes we have ever had. Monkfish tail roasted in tikka butter, wood fired mango jam, raita, battered seafood sausage, curry sauce Sirloin of Derbyshire beef, steak bake a lá birds, beef dripping hasselback Jersey royal, wild garlic salsa verde, sauce bordelaise "Beef 'n' ale." This is like no other ice cream you will have ever eaten. Absolutely delicious. Rhubarb and custard tart Smoked fudge Piña colada pastille Jam tart 47 degrees coffee Chef patron Leo and his team certainly knocked it out of the park with this menu. It's probably one of his best so far. Last year they received Most Innovative restaurant at the Derby food and drinks awards. Also Best restaurant runner-up @obsfood monthly awards. This is unusually a BYOB restaurant. So if you like a drink with your meal don't forget to bring a bottle. The staff are lovely and friendly. Our advice is to get yourself booked into this amazing dining experience before certain guides catch up.

Maybe it was because it was a Wednesday night, but the food we had was not similar to those in the photos on Tripadvisor. The first two courses (bead and soup) were great, but the bread was bought in and the soup was prepared well ahead. The main courses were really underwhelming, the beef was overcooked, as was the monkfish, the potato undercooked, and it was all quite bland. The dessert though was awful. A rhubarb and custard tart was presented on its own, a very small slice with raw pastry and very odd custard. This was a five course menu for £45, The 5th course was coffee and a piece of fudge. This didn’t feel like good value for money, and we were left feeling really disappointed

Firstly, when we arrived we were told we were booked in the next day and kind of left us hanging, however with proof on an email response we had saved from the restaurant they accommodated us. Onto the food and we chose the 5 courses, which was plenty for us. The dishes were all really tasty👌 and offered something different than the usual choice on offer from other restaurants. I was a little disappointed with the rhubarb and custard tart as that's all that was served on the plate and it had no 'crunch' and maybe could have benefited from a little something extra or a crisp pastry. Something for the restaurant to take note of; there could be a bit more attention to detail to make the dining experience that little bit better..... Double check your booking to ensure the correct date. Change the water in the vases on the tables, most looked brown and the flowers were drooped on our table. Maybe when setting out the replacement cutlery, place it down properly rather than in a heap at the end of the table. Provide a couple more milk pots with the tea/coffee to save people asking for more, there was only one small eggcup full for 4 diners. Offer tap water without us having people having to ask first. These are only minor points but noticeable to the customer so it would be even better if these points could be addressed for next time we visit. So overall, yes, we would visit again and look forward to it being even better next time 🙂.

I really love this concept- the menu was exactly what brought us here via social media and the lady who does my eyebrows. We really enjoyed our food, I had the fish and my team mate, beef. I love the courses but we settled for the 5 course as we had to consider fuel ontop etc in these times, sadly. I would love to return for the 10 course in the future. The items seemed locally sourced and were so yum, great to see. Because we were the first customers there wasn't much of a vibe and it was super quiet but as more people came it grew more comfortable and was really buzzy by the time we left. Good to see this considering the cost of living crisis. I think pre ordering does take away from the service and there weren't really any further explanation of some things but I'm also shy to ask. We did arrive a little early and it was a bit awkward but maybe you weren't ready for us too. We weren't told about any soft drinks available until well into the meal, so we settled for water as we had a fairly long drive home but would have liked a diet coke to begin with. It was our choice to trek to Arthur's, and I am glad we did. The Cullen Skink with the haddock scotch egg was the best thing I've eaten this year. Wish them all the luck for the future :)

How amazing was our dinner past night? Utterly brilliant. Both of us had said that it was possibly the best meal we had ever had. The dishes on the 5 course menu are very inventive and fresh. The pea veloute and ham hock was smooth and bursting with flavour and the mains were gorgeous. Perfectly cooked cod for me and an even more perfectly cooked lamb dish for the good lady. Flavours were stunning. Yes its not cheap, but by god you get what you pay for. 1st time there but certainly not the last.

Delicious well thought out menu and prompt friendly service

Great food and service. We can’t wait to come back to try the next menu.

Too small, too noisy. The food is too fancy. It's all too much.

Great food great service, a little Gem of a restaurant

What a find! The food was of the very highest standard and each dish that arrived was a pleasure. If you go to Belper, don't miss Arthur's.

Everything about our visit to Arthur’s exceeded expectation but the food was the real star. We had the 5 course tasting menu with a couple of extra dishes from the 10 course. The flavours and presentation were superb. The food was very seasonal, the bread homemade and flavour combinations great. It was a set menu with just a choice of meat or fish for the main course but who needs choice when the food is as good as this. It was £35 and we have often paid as much or more for 3 courses of very mediocre food at other places. So great value for money. The service was very relaxed and the meal perfectly paced. It is bring your own which means a great night out, fabulous food at a very affordable price. This could so easily have been £100/head with wine at somewhere more pretentious. Strongly recommend and will definitely be back.

Dinner Arthurs Belper 10 course tasting menu £65 Last minute booking at the best restaurant in Belper. This wasn't planned but saw they had a no show so we just rang up to grab the table. As they are normally fully booked when we have wanted to go. They do a 5 course £38 or 10 course £65. We chose the 10 obviously. Using the best locally sourced ingredients. To start is a lovely little snack described as Ham,egg & chip,which we could of eaten a whole bowl full. Next was the freshest Crich sourdough served with the roast tomato bisque. Cullen skink tart with an oozing egg in the middle as you cut through it. Next was the star of the show for us. Monkfish tail roast on the bone, Hot honey buffalo cheek, celery and apple salad,tartare sauce. The duck dish was also a wow. Accompliments were so tasty. Caramelised pumpkin fondant, Confit leg stuffed shallot topped with duck dripping crumble, Bacon braised brassica,Black Garlic jam, Juniper spiked sauce bordelaise. These raised the dish to levels we have never had before. Chef patron Leo has truly upped his game since our last visit. Recently just won Most innovative restaurant at the marketingderby food and drinks awards. Also Best restaurant runners up obsfood monthly awards. This is unusually a BYOB restaurant. So if you like a drink with your meal don't forget to bring it. The staff are lovely and friendly, we were served by Grace and James. Our advice is to get yourself booked in to this rising star before jayrayner and michelinguide cotton on to it.

Had such a lovely evening here. Food was delicious, especially the cod with seafood chorizo sausage. Everything cooked perfectly. We went for my birthday but have booked again for the October menu as that looks even better! Can’t wait to be back in such a lovely restaurant.

This restaurant is one of the best I’ve ever been to. For starters, the owners are absolutely amazing! My partner and I went last night for our anniversary dinner and couldn’t fault it. I would come here every month for the new menus. Such a...

Delicious, well cooked and innovative food. Staff attentive and polite, great ambience and a warm welcome from a young and dedicated team.

I hate giving negative reviews but I was disappointed in the 10 course taster, I felt that it wasn't anything special at all. The service was very very slow, 3 people and over 3 hours later we was still there. We had to wait an unbelievably long time in-between each course and we were the only people there for at least 1.5 hours. Then it was only 2 people who came in. The chef & lady waitress were both friendly but I'm afraid I didn't think it was worth the price at all. Very disappointed

The 10 course taster menu is just amazing. Congratulations to the chef for a wonderful meal.

Went for the 10 course tasting menu tonight. Unreal food, SO delicious. Relaxed vibes. Excellent service. Couldn't recommend it more. £65 per person is an absolute bargain for what you get here. Book ya table now!!

Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. Great service too & the place is nice. Parking convenient on the road just outside. Will definitely return once the menu refreshes again…

This place is a hidden gem. Visited here and tried the tasting menu, everything was cooked really well and full of flavour. I’d highly recommend.

Second visit. Table for four last night. All dishes were tasty and interesting. Taxi driver said she'd never picked anyone up from here that wasn't saying how great it was. Highly recommended.

First visit to Arthur’s - what a great experience. Food great and service excellent. We don’t leave many reviews, but this place is a bit special.. Too many great dishes to recommend a favourite, but the ‘out on the town’ icecream is nuts and will...

Went in for Sunday lunch only to be told I needed to pre book. The waiting staff looked furtive as I had a baby and my 5 year old daughter with me. We were asked to leave. Not sure why you need to book for a near empty restaurant or even if this was the truth. Very disappointed indeed.

Fantastic food. Service was good.

Up in the area for a few days and by luck we booked Arthur’s. How lucky were we to find such a gastronomic delight. Seasonal food, amazing pairing of flavours, delightful presentation just wow! One of us was gluten free and the adaptations were excellent....

We had the 10 course taster menu and it was amazing! We’ve eaten in a lot of Michelin star places and this food was better than some of those that we’ve eaten in so well done to the chef ! If we had any complaints...

Fantastic tasting food cooked to perfection, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Visited on a Friday evening, glad we booked in advance as every table was full. Great service, outstanding food. Feel like this place is taking eating out in this region to the next level. Definitely recommend.

An impressive eating experience.

Absolutely first class, amazing food where the flavours combined with each other perfectly, the crab porridge was a sensation and the goats milk ice cream and Yorkshire rhubarb was fantastic, we can't wait to visit again.

Gem of a restaurant! Food was to a fantastic standard and the owners (Chefs) and staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Look forward to dining here again!

Perfect tasting menu, we went for the five course tasting menu which did not disappoint. Perfect portion size, every course perfectly balanced. The menu changes every month to tempt us back as soon as possible. Very nice front of house, and the chef took time...

Outstanding and ambitious cooking in a small, friendly owner-run restaurant. The 10 course meal was a triumph from start to finish, never dull, original but not too pompous. You can tell this place is run by people who love what they do - give it...

Ambitious, well executed and sometimes genuinely exciting food served in unpretentious surroundings. The atmosphere is friendly; the menus are local, seasonal and excellent value; and it's BYO (with no corkage)!

10 course menu and the chef seems to have really matured and come into his own. Absolutely outstanding. The parsnip soup was incredible. Parsnip ice cream with gingerbread sublime.

Outstanding food in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food, brilliant service. We had the 10 course tasting menu and it was divine. It is definitely worth a visit. Cant wait to go back and try their lunch menu.

I like the concept of this restaurant, and the food is generally very nice. I did think the dishes needed more fresh salad/vegetables. The sour dough bread was too hard though, and shouldn't really be classed as one course, as it came with a very nice soup. My monk fish dish was over salted sadly, which spoilt it, and the curry sauce & small hard nan bread combo on the same plate didn't work for me. I ate everything however, and I hope this restaurant does well and offers more for fish & vegetarian diets in the future.

An absolute gem. Without hesitation one of the best culinary experiences I have had the pleasure to enjoy! I was absolutely bowled over by the quality. A menu devised and delivered by someone who truly understands tastes and flavours and loves creating a bit of...

Interesting flavours of food in a variety of courses. Found monk fish very salty. Not sure why.

We had the 10 course taster menu and every one was amazingly tasting. Few of the courses were what I would order typically but I enjoyed every single one. Service was excellent with the timing between courses spot on: no long gaps but not back...

Family live in the town and had been before and highly recommended it. We were very excited and had our 2 teenage sons as we. It did not dissapoint, the food is AMAZING! They explained each course and answered our questions. No course was left...

Having only traveled for about an hour and set up our caravan home at The Firs for the next 5 nights we were looking forward to spending our evening at Arthur’s. We had done some research and were lucky to be able to get a...

Well this is our second night at Arthur's different tasting menu on a October theme. I cannot stand pumpkin would avoid it like the plague If it was on the menu, but as it is on the menu and you have no choice I can...

Went for lunch. Really good burgers and nice coffee. All the food was really good and at surprisingly reasonable prices. Very friendly couple run the place and provided good service. Would definitely go again. It's also a BYOB place

We absolutely love Arthur’s. Having already tried Breakfast and Lunch (also the a la carte menu before the lockdown and the Arthur’s a home menu during lockdown), we decided to give the 5 course tasting menu a go. We were not disappointed - every course...

Popped in on the spur of the moment whilst waiting for car to be valeted. Absolutely delicious breakfast. Tried to recreate at home but couldn't get anywhere near the same quality and taste. Going back again soon.

First time visiting Arthur's but it definitely won't be the last. Had a wonderfully relaxed evening and the food was amazingly! Would definitely recommend,cooking forward to the next tasting menu!

Just picked up the most amazing burger to take away. These guys are incredible, everything they do is delicious!

We have eaten here several times but due to Covid we haven't been for a while now. We had the 5 course tasting menu on Saturday and were so impressed. Welcomed by the lovely Amelia who showed us to our seat and talked us through...

Simply amazing!! Service fantastic, no compromise felt despite the lockdown measures. And the food .... incredible!!! We had the 10 course taster menu, each course just built perfectly on the last, highlights have to be the “tatertot”, the cheesy chip, the chowder (omg!!!!) the crayfish...

Had take out burgers this evening- one cheese burger & one veg & chips. Absolute quality burgers We also got some ice cream yet to be tried. Love these guys they work so hard and have had a flexible business model sine lockdown Support them...

Absolutely love this place! We’ve have visited a number of time’s in the past in the restaurant. Since they opened as a take away due to restrictions, we had to visit! I can tell you it was so worth the 30 minute drive. We had...

Every mouthful a real treat to the tastebuds. Recommend foodies to try the tasting menu and enjoy the experience.

Wow what a feast !! Went for the first time last night and tried the taster menu. 11 courses and smoked fudge at the end for £50 ! Superb menu as all dishes were far more than a typical tapas plate size. Super friendly staff...

We decided that winter was making us stick to the same old, same old....so looked for some where new. Arthur’s was getting good reviews, so we went to Belper, having not been to the town for a fair few years. Arthur’s was a total surprise...

We booked for a midweek tasting menu experience! All I can say is wow! The food is a taste sensation - we have eaten in many Michelin restaurants and although Arthur’s is more rustic, the decor and food less fancy, the food experience was amazing....

We decided to try Arthur’s based on previous reviews. Choice of small plates menu or taster menu - we went with the taster menu. Some very interesting dishes although very tiny portions of some. Service was quite slow, we arrived at 7pm & left about...

Amazing restaurant serving beautifully freshly prepared local produce. Exquisite flavours and fantastic attention to detail. Great service. Our new favourite! Sublime.

Quite simply.......Outstanding!! Taster menu One of the best meal experiences you’ll have with every dish a taste sensation

We celebrated my birthday at Arthur’s last night & absolutely loved it. The tasting menu was clever & delicious & I can honestly say I loved every one of the 12 courses. We are so lucky to have such a high quality restaurant in Belper....

We made a much anticipated trip to Arthur's on a Saturday night for a birthday gathering and we loved it. The food was as delicious and interesting as we had hoped it would be. What made it really enjoyable was the relaxed atmosphere and the unpretentious and welcoming staff. The taster menus is excellent value. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

These people really know about flavour and hold a healthy respect for food and for their customers. The chef is amiable and provides superbly tasty and well balanced dishes while the front of house is knowledgeable, very customer friendly and aware of the level of interaction required. This is a superb restaurant but is far from being pretentious. Highly recommended.

We booked here as a special occasion and we were made to feel special throughout, the food is absolutely stunning. We had the ten plate taster menu. It was nice to experiment and try foods I have never tried before. The food was both bursting with flavour and the presentation was some of the beat I have seen. It’s so nice to see a young couple making a go of it in my home town. Well done guys and keep up the great work.

Went for a visit on 2nd November. Loved the place, the owners were both really friendly. The food was delicious with some really interesting combinations. Will definitely be returning.

This was our second visit to Arthur's. Our first visit was superb and so was this one! The food, the creativity, and the service were just brilliant. Myself and my wife both had the taster menus and neither of us could pick one dish above the others; the hake, the parsley soup, beetroot tartare, pumpkin sorbet, the cauliflower steak - all sublime. Everything about our evening at Arthur's was brilliant. We'll be going back very soon. I cannot recommend Arthur's enough. Just superb!

Fantastic taste experience. If you are after a evening out with food you cannot create at home, give Arthur’s a try. You won’t regret it.

Me and my wife visited this month and have to say the food was incredible, so nice to see a restaurant like this in a small place like Belper, keep up the good work!!

We decided to visit Arthur's after reading the Trip Advisor reviews and have to say that we probably haven't ever eaten a better meal. We had the taster menu and cannot decide what the highlight was. Stunning.

I took my 2 grown up kids and one of their girlfriends for a birthday treat. The atmosphere is chilled and friendly. The food was inventive, beautiful and delicious. All the food was described to us when it arrived at our tables by the lovely hostess. Overall it was a memorable evening, so thank you guys for that. I don't often have both my kids in the same place at the same time. We spent hours discussing the dishes the next day and will definitely be back for more. Big kisses xxx

My wife and I ate at Arthur's on Friday evening. We had the ten course set menu - one vegetarian and one pescatarian. To say the food was amazing would be an understatement. Having been lucky enough to have eaten in some superb restaurants in Britain, the US, and Dubai, Arthur's is up there for the creativity and quality of the food. The service is second to none. It was such a wonderful experience. We will be back and will also tell everyone we know about Arthur's. Just brilliant!

Went for the taster menu with my daughter as a birthday gift. Wow what a place The food was excellent and I would definitely recommend going. The chef never stopped and the front of house lady was so friendly and chatty, it was a pleasure to go and to have such tasty master chef quality food. Will definitely be going back

A fantastic experience that's a bit different. The carefully selected menu options are not what I'd normally choose, but was very happy to be adventurous and pleased with the quality. Both staff were keen to explain each dish and were clearly passionate about the quality of their food. A lot of attention to detail went into each dish. We left very happy and full!

We came here on a Saturday evening for the taster menu, as the restaurant sounded interesting. The first thing to say was that the food was really yummy, it was 10 courses and each one was obviously very well thought out and perfectly cooked. There were some ingredients that I hadn't tried before and some that brought a lot of discussion. We both thought the food was top notch. The only problem was that there was very little of it. I know the idea was to be able to try a little bit of lots of different flavours without overdoing it, but I was expecting to be full by the end of 10 courses (and after paying £45), which I really wasn't. The first course consisted of a single cherry, cut in half with a touch of pate in the centre. Tasty, but...really? This counts as a course? Luckily most of the others were slightly more generous, but still left me wanting more. I think if everything was double the portion size then I would have given this place 5 stars. The bring-your-own-drinks was welcome, and a good way to keep the overall cost down. So, overall, very nice food, well cooked and well thought out, but maybe have a quick snack before you go.

Different and delicious. Excellent food from a short but well judged menu. Interesting combinations ... who’d have thought that duck fat ice cream could be so good. Perfect. Service is by the world’s most cheerful waiter ... she’s a delight.

Great food, friendly people, and great service

Excellent place to eat, you owe it to yourself to try this place if you can! Superb food, excellently prepared and presented. Friendly and attentive staff too.

If it’s quantity you want then this is not the place for you.

A great addition to Belpers restaurants having visited Saturday evening and sampled the taster menu comprising of seven professional prepared and presented courses, highly recommended well done guys

In my opinion, the best restaurant in Derbyshire. Creative, innovative, fantastic ingredients, great tasting food, simple, brilliant. I live in London and travel up to Derbyshire to visit family...and to go to Arthur's! These guys are very talented chefs who are going to go a long way.
