Nourish at No44 in Amber Valley

Where else can you go when you want to introduce French visitors to the Full English Breakfast, but the award winning Nourish at no. 44 in Belper. The choice of breakfast options is lovely but there was only one choice to make Full English or Mini English? Exclamations of “Delicious” throughout our meal, from our visitors and clean plates all around spoke volumes for the quality of the food. Service was happy and helpful throughout too. Finally, the bill was more than reasonable for what we had consumed. The 2024 award for Best Breakfast in Derbyshire is certainly well deserved.

We came here for late breakfast/early lunch. On Saturday. Very busy and we were lucky to get last table. Service was good our waitress very pleasant. I went for the full English breakfast with a pot of tea. My partner had scampi. Food was excellent. No complaints. This was our second visit and I’m sure we will be back.

Really busy place. My main concern is the lack of vegan options. Hard to find anything other than the avocado on toast. I even asked but nobody seemed to know. The menu was just bits of card in no particular order. Took ages to look through and got a bit stressed with it all so left. Not good. Hopefully they'll try and sort their menu out so vegan food would be easier to find.

Fook okay but they seem to have a very inflexible and unsympathetic approach to allergies and special diets. There were two items in my order which I mustn't eat so I asked if I could have an extra slice of toast instead. 'No' was the curt reply, and so I paid full price for a partial breakfast. It's a shame they were so inflexible. We don't want to go back.

Sweet Lord! ... If Carlsberg did food. The sharing boards here are to die for. We've heard that the Sunday roasts are good but have yet to try them. Great food, excellent value and an impeccable styling (well, it suits us). We just had glasses of water so no idea how much the drinks are. Be back soon (hopefully on a Sunday!)

No problem with service and the soup and sausage sandwich were decent portion sizes. However, ordered an americano and if you wanted milk it was 30p. The amount of milk served was ridiculously small. I asked the waitress if the little container was for one or two people and she confirmed it was for 2. Place was busy though.

We do a mandatory visit to Belper as my wife loves the clothing shop Mabel and Maude. Having arrived we decided we needed to eat as we had been elsewhere. Not knowing where to try we popped into Nourish. Greeted very nicely by the young lady behind the counter, and advised to find a table of our choice, and that it was table service. We sat at table 3 which is by the garden and kitchen door. Watching the food come out it was clear this was a good choice. I had the lamb kofta flatbread and my wife had the chicken salad. Both massive portions and fantastic in taste and presentation. The other observation I would make is a quality pot of tea. Not weak small teabag stuff. Loose leaf and a great cup. Cost under £30. Dog friendly. Great staff. Well done.

Easy walking distance from the town centre car park which helped as we are not local to the area. The restaurant was not too busy & we got a table with no problem. Our order was taken quickly and a hot breakfast was soon on the table. What more could you want.

Excellent food and service, the young man who served us was polite and very helpful, a credit to your team. A lovely setting and everything was piping hot even with sitting in the garden

Our last day in Belper for a long weekend in the Peak District, and treated ourselves to a last coffee and cake. Lovely spot, great staff, great ambience.

Visited every day during a long weekend in Belper and had absolutely lovely food every time. Beautiful local produce in nice surroundings. We noticed lunchtime service upstairs tended to be S L O O O W however staff polite and friendly. Sunday lunch was epic with enormous servings (a very generous chef!) and we ended up boxing our leftovers up to take away and they almost made up an entire meal 😳. Which is lovely for us however I know many people would just leave it so maybe portion size needs reviewing? As seems a shame if such lovely food were to be binned. To confirm - we aren’t complaining!! > eyes up left over lamb in fridge

Waited 50 mins for patio on toast And scampi and fries asked staff how long it will be and she said will check but never came back to tell us Bought the tea out first so that went cold to eat with our meal Service is terrible and they never apologised for the wait been there many a Time over the years And no problem I wonder if it has been bought out by someone else long while before I go again

Mediocre sums up my experience. It’s not a cheap place to go for lunch so I’d expect the service to be good. I had to get my own menus, and our own sauces because they weren’t offered, no check back to check the food was ok. The service is just average, if that. When did it become ok to become lazy? 2pm on a Friday, one staff behind the bar doing coffees etc and two other members of staff standing around/ clearing up and they can’t even be attentive. The last few times I’ve been here I’ve been disappointed with the service. The food is nice but I won’t be back this time

Having discovered this cafe by accident one day for a snack we went out of our way to return for breakfast on our way through Belper. The bacon was properly cooked and the toast was just right - not burnt as it almost always is in other cafes.

We’ve eaten here so many times and it’s always been lovely! We have alway recommended Nourish to anyone. However today was completely different! We have a coeliac (gluten intolerance) teenager which i made clear on booking and also when we arrived and again to the waiter. We waited 20 mins for drinks to arrive which was a little longer than expected. When the food came they served the coeliac first which is always good practice, then served the others on receiving the food we asked again to the food server (runner) was the coeliacs gluten free as it’s look exactly same as everyone who was not coeliac (Yorkshire pudding) the server said the turkey is but not the Yorkshire pudding (that was on top of the turkey) we said 3 times so why have you put the Yorkshire pudding on when he’s gluten free he said don’t know will find out? We asked them to take the dish away! Which they did ! They then bought another dish up without Yorkshire and the we asked is the potatoes (making sure not roasted with anything gluten)!gluten free which he responded I think so and the gravy I think so but will ask the chef? Anyway by this time we’ve no faith in anything we ask to speak to the manager he attends to speak with us and that cleared everything up which was fine however the coeliac was not feeling happy about his dinner, obviously concerned, when finishing dinner we asked for the bill, the waitress brought us. The bill asked us if we paid £15 deposit which we hadn’t so we said no she then went off brought us a bill that made no sense at all and said she couldn’t detail anything as she had to erase things off it because of this deposit thing I asked please could I please have a bill which details on it she said she couldn’t so I asked to speak to the manager. 10 minutes later she comes back with another bill saying the manager is too busy right now to talk to me. I said okay I’ll wait. She said we don’t know when he’ll be free as he’s really busy obviously to me. It’s not how you treat customers. I paid the bill went downstairs. The manager was serving a drink. I waited for him to finish serving his drinks and spoke to him obviously very annoyed that he was too busy to speak to a customer about the service that we had received. Yes they’ve taken the drinks off bearing in mind it was one glass of wine one Coke one lemonade. And I said I thought it was bad service from start to finish and that I thought it was disgraceful that he was not prepared to speak to somebody who his establishment had already tried to poison and also too busy to talk to them to rectify anything will not be recommending or visiting again I’ll be making sure I tell people about this experience.

Called in today for lunch - always our go-to place in Belper. I ordered the veggie burger. The menu listed everything it came with - cheese sauce, onions, burger sauce etc. Unfortunately, it didn't mention that the 'veggie burger' was just runny cheese! (Apparently cauliflower cheese, but I saw no evidence of cauliflower). I complained to the waitress & said it was luke-warm gloop & that their menu was not a true description of it. No-one came back to discuss it. At the till they were going to charge full-price & the girl just argued that they never said it was vegan! This wasn't the issue- the issue was it was just a runny cheese pattie. She reluctantly gave us 20% off, but her manner was rude & uncaring. I know they can't please everyone- but how a complaint is handled is more important than the complaint itself. This was dealt with terribly. We will not be back

Beautiful place! Went this Saturday just gone. All the staff lovely and friendly🤍 Sat downstairs and had a lovely waitress. Food was amazing.Try the flatbreads! Will be revisiting soon 🥰

One member of staff is very abrupt, young lady blonde. Wont be going again, other cafes have much friendliet service!! No need to have the attitude with customers who have done nothing to deserve it. Your not in a doctors surgery its a cafe!

Nice place for a cosy Tea or Coffee, sensibly priced, good service, nice decor and comfortable seating, what more can you ask for.

I went with four friends for lunch. We had a table up stairs and there was no heating on so we had our lunch with coats on. The waiter said there was a problem with the boiler but even though the food was ok it was spoiled by having to sit in our coats. A gentleman sat with his coat and gloves on. When we went downstairs which was warm to pay the member of staff assured us the the heating was on ! Which it wasn't no apology. We wont be going again.

Everybody raves about this place, so thought we would try it for ourselves, having lived in Belper for many years, but never been. We went for breakfast one morning, inside it was really busy, especially for a Wednesday morning, definitely the in place to be in Belper. The breakfast was adequate, but the bacon a bit too well cooked, too crispy, I was afraid I was going to break my teeth! The staff were very efficient and courteous, a lively atmosphere, would definitely not rush back for breakfast, but may come back for a drink and try one of the tempting pastries from the counter.

We had a huge,delicious burger and enormous tasty fishcake for lunch. Excellent, friendly service. We'll be back again, thank you

We went here for Sunday dinner and it is always the best most EPIC meal. Wonderful choice of vegetables, creamy mash, crunchy roast potatoes and a choice of meats. I had the roast chicken and it was delicious. This place really knows what it’s doing. The serving staff are so polite and pleasant. The tables aren’t too near to each other so you have your own space. It’s clean too. The best venue in Belper and surrounding area.

Ordered iced latte for three with some meals, the coffees were, in a word, awful. It was very weak and watery and very little taste of any real coffee. When questioning the waiter, he said that there was nothing he could do other than put in an extra shot if we paid extra! Advised that he could take back the lattes as we didn't intend paying for them. No manager came to find out. Not good, won't return.

I was really disappointed!! I’m gluten free and I REALLY struggled to choose something. I certainly won’t be going again I’m afraid. Measly portions

Ordered main breakfast with tea included. Breakfast luke warm & charged for tea. Tea was refunded when we went back to query after paying. Another table next to us returned their breakfast as it was not very hot. Waiters lovely

I've been here so many times with friends and family for all sorts of meals and occasions and it's never failed to meet our needs. It serves meals of all kinds and even becomes a quiet cocktail bar in the evenings. The young staff are always so professional and the upstairs and outdoor seating areas are cosy and pretty.

20 minute wait for coffees to arrive and after an hour after ordering breakfast, the food still hasn’t arrived. We walked out and told the staff why, one laughed at us and the other asked us if we had moved tables which we hadn’t. Won’t be returning any time soon unfortunately.

Should I be surprised that, after my detailed written complaint and even my mum going in twice since our terrible experience to discuss the issues, we still havent received a response. Never mind a substantive response, not even a, "we've received your email and we will come back to you...." interim response. Short summary: Service repeatedly terrible, rude and even hostile including eye rolling, whispering to other colleagues and telling us we were just wrong and the chef intended the food to taste "rancid and vinergary". I gave you chance to reply.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch whilst in Belper for a visit and I must say it was very nice. I had a small breakfast which was well made with good quality ingredients at a very reasonable price. There was plenty on the menu to choose from and there were some lovely looking plates of food coming out to peoples tables. Its a lovely place inside with a nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The coffee was good and there were some yummy looking bakes on the counter. I would definitely visit again if I was in the area.

wont be coming for Sunday Lunch again im afraid. Alarm bells rung when I asked if it was possible for my roast beef to be rare, or medium rare, only to be told we only do it well done. Thats odd i thought. Roast arrived, and to be fair, loads and load of veggies, more than enough. Yorkshires were hard, and it turned out the beef was braised, not roasted, that explained why it couldnt be served rare or medium. wasn’t really edible, so left most of it. Shame really, because week menu is really good and never had a complaint. Much better places for a nice sunday roast though.

Our first visit and just what the doctor ordered. Nice weather on a Thursday in July, so sat in the garden at the back. Ordered ‘Hangover Benedict’ and salmon & rice salad. Could not fault the food or the service, everyone was very pleasant and...

I had been to Nourish in the beginning and it was amazing. Then my husband and I had the most awful evening about 5 years ago.. cold food, 1 hour wait for main course, squashed onto a table for 2 when there were 4 of...

Been here a few times recently. The breakfasts consist of sourdough toast that could break the strongest of teeth and eggs which taste strange. Decided to have something else and the wind knocked it off the flimsy table it was on, not a reassuring word...

My Husband’s just come home from having lunch here with a dear friend. £26 for 2 fish finger sandwiches and 2 coffees, really? We used to come here every time we visited Belper, but won’t any more. The coffees alone were £5 each!!! Please stop...

Been on several occasions always good. Today however not the usual standard?? Overcooked breakfast or warmed up.butter for toast placed on a hot plate and melted to oil. On paying on exit,the cashier needs to learn some customer service and at least try to smile....

Nice outside space, but service haphazard. Maybe lots of new staff but 3 meals had something missing and one of the drinks wasn't provided. They sorted it out, but the cooked breakfast was very over cooked. Poached egg hard and tiny!

Stopped in on my way back from a work trip and was just what I needed after several hours on the road. The salmon Caesar salad was to die for, super tasty and surprisingly filling! Would 1000% recommend, Nourish never disappoints!

Great food in relaxed restaurant/cafe. Good sized portions, tasty food staff very friendly & efficient. House wine (red) good easy drinking and reasonably priced

Disappointed, albeit their claim was busy, though not advised until questioned why our meal was 50 minutes in waiting. The place had significant space available upstairs and down, which we believe our order to have been forgotten. The all day breakfast was clearly reheated and...

We randomly stumbled in here last Sunday and found a beautiful courtyard to sit in in the sunshine. The food was very tasty and it was a nice touch to see nappies / baby wipes provided in the toilet. The only reason it’s not 5*...

Lovely setting with a nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was excellent quality and service was good. What I liked was there is lots of space and you are not on top of each other and tables are spaced out well.

We visited what was our favourite Belper breakfast venue on a normal Sunday morning with my elderly Mother. We were seated upstairs where it was busy but with a pleasant family atmosphere. We know from previous visits that the slices of bloomer bread for the...

We come here almost every week for lunch and it has only just occurred to me to write a review. Well there's a reason we come here weekly. The food is fantastic, never once had a meal not be 100%. The staff are all so...

Spend almost £10 on breakfast and told that they have WiFi but only for staff not customers ! Lovely place but spoiled by something so simple .

Have been quite a few times, when in Belper shopping. Always very friendly service from the young staff, especially Lewis, who has served us the last couple of times. Food is amazing! I can recommend the Avo on toast, with smoked salmon and poached egg...

Me, my mum and my sister visited on a Saturday for a late breakfast. My sister and I shared a chipotle chicken flatbread, it was absolutely amazing! So amazing that I brought my friends the weekend after for another! I have had many meals here...

Called in for the first time, just after 10am opening time and there was already a dozen customers. Tried the Vege breakfast with halloumi and sourdough toast. The coffee arrived swiftly and the breakfast not long after. It was very good. The decapitated tomatoes were...

I visited Nourish for Valentine’s Day and had a great evening. The live music was great, service was exceptional and the food was amazing for both of us. By far the best restaurant I have eaten at since moving to Derby back in 2021. Will...

Myself and my Fiancé had our engagement meal here on Valentine’s Day and it was perfect! The service was excellent from Will, Rosie, Lewis, Luke, Arina and the food was just perfect!! We had the valentines special menu starting with the Venison meatballs which were...

sadly this place used to be great, but when I go in a restaurant to eat, I don't expect the live singer to be so loud I can't here myself think, and had his fan club dancing and singing along with him. food wise, ok...

We visited Nourish today for lunch , which was the large fishcake with poached egg and a rocket salad , delicious. Our waiter was a lovely guy called Louis who was very welcoming , attentive , professional and extremely polite . Louis made us feel...

Lovely sized Sunday Lunch - yes, the meat portion could have been better, was rather thinly cut, but, The veg portion was perfect and tasted great. Amazing amount of gravy too. The Yorkshire Puddings here are always way too salty, so much so, it’s rather...

Just thought I’d leave a comment for the lovely service we received from coming in to leaving. Walked in and it looked quite busy so we asked if they had room for a pram and they made space for us. Had a lovely waitress not...

Love this place. Popped in yesterday, was told there an issue with electrics tripping (have you ever tried getting an electrician around Xmas?). No worries, returned this morning for breakfast, excellent food and service, definitely recommended. Felt sorry for the staff yesterday, rude and inconsiderate...

Came for birthday breakfast, completely understand that they had a problem with the electrics and that it was a bit chaotic but after a 30 minute wait and folks who had come in way after us starting to be served my partner went to question...

A lovely restaurant. Good service. Very nice menu. Can recommend the special chicken and leek pie with mash . It was homemade and the best pie I’ve ever eaten. Highly recommended.

I came here for brunch with a friend and had a lovely time and a faultless experience! The staff are very hard working, nothing is too much or too hard for them. We were sat down quickly and the service was very prompt with our...

We were staying in Belper for the weekend and Nourish was recommended to us. It has a shabby chic decor inside which was lovely. We were visiting in the evening and were offered a table either downstairs or upstairs. In hindsight, we wish we'd chosen...

Came for lunch with a friend on their recommendation. We were not disappointed. The food was fabulous ; plenty of choice for vegetarians and meat eaters were well catered for too. Plenty of choice in beers and soft drinks. Service was attentive without being overly...

Very cold room on wet November day, had to keep coat on. Sticky table, water glass stuck by rim to table, lipstick stain on glass. Egg cup sized hot water jug brought to top up tea pot. Rather Stoggy cheese scone. Disappointing.

This is a very pleasant spot for breakfast or brunch in the heart of Belper. It’s located in what I think was a former pub, on the town’s high street. It’s a stylish place, and the tasteful floral arrangement over the entrance doorway certainly grabs...

Very busy eatery in town centre. Busy because it is good food in generous portions. Friendly casual dining very pleased we tried it.

Ordered some food to take away for a friends lunch, I ordered the steak sandwich with chips £12.50. The chips were cold, dry and just tasted of fat/oil not to mention the portion wouldn’t of been suitable for even a child. The steak sandwich had...

Popped in today with a friend for lunch and was totally surprised…lots of space, friendly staff and great looking food! We ordered off the specials and the food was delicious and arrived promptly. All the staff were super friendly and the prices extremely reasonable. Definitely...

Dropped in here for lunch Friday last week, got a table even though it was a busy time. Service was good, staff friendly and attentive and the food was great. Even though it came pretty quickly it was fresh and good quality, steak sandwich particularly...

Having had a long week break in Belper, my friend and I came for Sunday lunch before setting off home. The staff are all lovely and it has a very welcoming feeling. The decor and atmosphere is really lovely, which I feel is almost as...

Delicious tomato soup with a cheese scone! Super friendly team. Lewis who served us was polite and genuinely interested in his customers’ experience. Nice to see young people enjoying being at their workplace. Will return soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited for a cake and a glass of wine. Sat by the window which happened to be by the till. The staff have the patience of a saint some of the demands of the public are unbelievable…the staff are outstanding and our cake and wine...

Loved the lunch menu of flatbreads, which were extremely generous with lots of fresh ingredients. We sat upstairs in a very pleasant dining space, but felt a little forgotten at times - one of our orders was not recorded and we had to wait for...

Would highly recommended this place in terms of value and quality plus a lovely setting. My boyfriend and I visited recently and was very impressed with their Sun lunch. Generous portion with plenty of veg inc red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, mixed veg plus mash and...

Have visited No.44 twice now for breakfast and I have to say it’s the best place I’ve been to in the UK for a long long time! I’m new to the area and absolutely delighted that this establishment exists! I love good food and service...

Visited today on a not busy day ,staff were chatting inside .After waiting 10 mins my husband went to order but we were told a waitress would take our order .20 minutes later and we just left

Me and my friend stopped to get a coffee and some food at lunch time. We both had ice coffee and scones. The menu was really good! The only issue was slightly slow service, but we were sitting in the garden.

Nice selection on menu and tasty. Good coffee, with a home made biscuit. Lovely interior, prompt service usually . Can sit outside or inside.

Really disappointed with our visit for breakfast today . Waited a good 25 minutes for our breakfast and when my partners full English arrived it was just poor ! Beans and mushrooms were stone cold and the toast cold, burnt and inedible. The young lad...

Ham on eggs benedict was chewy sauce very salty, mushrooms on sandwich 1/4d not sliced therefore not as easy to pickup and eat. Tea was pleasant but a request for pot of water with cup,we were told no you can't have a saucer because you...

Came across this place via the Great Food Club Guide and what a find! The menu was pretty good and we found our food was very reasonable and my bavette steak was perfect. Service was excellent. All in all a very good lunch in this...

Belper food festival, wow what a burger that was, we had the macho burger and halloumi fries and this was food of dreams! I have never tasted a burger like it. We arrived early to the ice cream stall as we were so keen, and...

We took advantage this weekend of the quieter start to the amazing Belper food market as my partner is an amputee and struggles to walk amongst crowds. We had planned to go into Nourish to try the breakfast having heard good things about it. At...

Went for breakfast on Sunday morning and left very disappointed. One of our party didn’t want black pudding or mushrooms on the full English and so asked if he could have more beans or tomatoes. He was told because of staff shortages, they couldn’t guarantee...

Popped into Nourish for a light bite, always a beautiful place to watch the world go by. Staff are welcoming, the whole place is a delight to be in, stunning surroundings, clean and variety of food. Well worth a visit, a real asset to Belper.

Took my son for a birthday breakfast this was recommended by his friend, Full English was bang on, butcher’s sausage and bacon all good quality ingredients, will definitely be going back.

10.30 in a morning and pop music blaring out.... gif i WANT TO ROCK YOU then i will go to a Nightclub,,,,,, the the noise was excessive Was looking forward to a relaxing breakfast.... food good but ruined by the noise DID ask for it...

Vising in the area for the weekend and on our wander in Belper we settled on Nourish after being well advised by the local newsagent. What a fab coffee and all things artisan cafe. We had a flat white and a raspberry and white chocolate...

Walked past this place many times and always fancied trying it so when we eventually decided to visit I am glad it did not disappoint. Great coffee and the coffee and pecan cake was THE BEST cake I have ever eaten! (And that is saying...

Not able to book a table at lunch time. But was very quiet so not a problem. Took a table upstairs, Nice welcome. Speedy offer of drinks, Simple menu. The kitchen is small so service is always a little slow but not a problem, particularly...

Utterly bizarre experience here today. Ordered a diet coke, was given a 'diet coke' only to notice the taste was off. Asked the waiter if we had in fact accidently been served full sugar coke. After 10 minutes, they returned apologising that they don't actually...

Nourish at 44 is my favourite cafe by far at the moment! Really good choice on the menu and very reasonably priced for the quality of ingredients and portion size! The Sea Burger is to die for - my current go to! However on this...

Visited a Friday lunchtime and it was relatively busy but not packed. I had the chicken ceaser salad that was just delightful. Perfect size and very tasty. The desserts in the window also looked very good but I was too full by that point to...

Can’t particularly fault the food, but the portion size was ridiculous, we were served enough food for six people and felt very guilty leaving over half. Wouldn’t return for that reason alone, less is often more!

Visited early January looking for somewhere for an early lunch. Happened to be walking by and noticed the place. Both opted for the flat breads. Wow! Incredible portion size, one would have been sufficient to share. Neither of us could finish, even though we both...

Really poor from no. 44. We've been going there for many years. Today we tried to get a table for our family of 4 with a pram. Were told they wouldn't take the pram and refused entry despite ample space. Very bad service, went to...

Today was our first visit to Nourish, the breakfast was well cooked and tasty, the coffee nice and hot. We will definitely be back next time we are in Belper.

What a fantastic evening we all had from the grazing plates to the brilliant cocktails and a fantastic atmosphere. The very funny silent disco 🤣 Thank you team Nourish for a brilliant evening xx

As a returning customer I had travelled some distance to Belper in anticipation of another quality lunchtime meal in this nicely laid out eatery. Unfortunately the 25 minute wait for the “Special” was not worth the wait. I do not consider myself “picky” but the...
