Seven Restaurant & Cafe Bar in Derby

Great place Great food Great service

Great atmosphere, fantastic food!

Great food & service, busy and very loud so quite hard to have a conversation

From first being in touch to arrange a larger booking, communication was great. Helped us greatly with our requirements and the table was perfect, just what we needed. Slight hick up with the pre order, but soon resolved. Food delicious, staff friendly and our waitress was so lovely and helpful. Thank you, we will be back.

Food was excellent and cooked to perfection

Fantastic restaurant . Feeling good very time when I m there.good food and good drinks and good service Xx

I had a nice meal at Seven. I thought that the main menu was very good. I was torn between options. I ended up going for two appetisers (olives and pork belly bites), a starter (squid) and a steak for my main course. The portions were slightly on the smaller side but I still had a decent dinner. The squid was cooked pretty well. I asked for the steak well done and it came out pretty much how I expected it to be. It was nice to have the sauce included with the steak, as some places try and make you pay extra for the sauce. I thought the sauce itself was good. The chips were chunky and decent. I thought the atmosphere was quite chill. The staff were good humoured and attentive. The only issue with the service was that the waitress took my starter cutlery away after I had had my appetisers, even though I hadn’t used this yet as I had been given cocktail sticks to eat my appetisers with. I was a little unimpressed with the dessert menu. There seemed to be quite a few options for alcoholic coffees and for “dessert cocktails”. However, I wasn’t very impressed with the range of food options for dessert. This is a minor gripe really as the main menu was good and I enjoyed everything that I ordered off this.

Went here years ago and it was quite nice. The most recent visit was wonderful the food and staff were perfect.

Last night I had a meal at seven restaurant booked for 16.45. Despite the weather we were on time and were informed we had to order our food before 5pm as the kitchens closed at the time. This is not on the website. Our drinks order was taken then our food order. The starters and main courses were brought very swiftly. This surprised me as on previous visits service as been slow. We decided we didn't want any pudding but asked if we could order another drink. All this was under an hour of our arrival. The young waitress asked another waiter if we could have more drinks and we were told no despite being asked if we wanted anything else. It was clear they didn't want us to stay even with over an hour until the restaurant closed. The general attitude of the staff was very unfriendly and no member of staff said goodnight as we left. I for one shall not be returning

Had our wedding lunch there and was absolutely perfect.

Great atmosphere, superb quality food and wine, the steaks were cooked exactly as requested.

Lovely place for a meal as a group. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Food well cooked. Facilities clean

Went here for our pre wedding family meal there was 12 in the party . We were seated in the terrace and what a lovely space it is ,cosy, lovely lighting, and comfortable seating. Really sorry but can't remember the name of the young person that served us ...but he was absolutely the best ,he had the wright amount of banter not too cheeky, very attentive, was totally on the ball ...even asking if we wanted the children's food to come out earlier..brilliant. Engaged with us all finding out about are wedding the next day . Now the food was as always top quality ,lovely presented, hot and good size. We had wine ,fizz,and cocktails exallent as well . It's always good to find a restaurant that is constantly exallent across all food services we have had breakfast, lunch,dinner and found them all exallent.

The 4 of us in for Monday lunch. Very popular. Lovely menu choices. Huge fish with chips. Salmon cooked well, pork medallions also, I was told. My smoked haddock choice was so tasty. My wife and I shared a (large) sticky toffee pudding. All food and drink at a good price and friendly service. Looking forward to returning.

An ideal place for a celebratory meal or just getting together with friends and family. The menu choices are great and our waitress went the mile to make our meal memorable. For veggies I can recommend both the curry and halloumi.

Amazing service from the start!! Not sure on the ladies name but she was the manager she went above and beyond to get us a parking space when we arrived as one of our party members struggles to walk and there was no spaces! The food arrived quickly and was absolutely fantastic! Anabelle our waitress was incredible! Polite, attentive, friendly and just amazing at her job!!!! She made our evening! Thank you! We can’t wait to return!! ☺️

We came here for a birthday off a recommendation and you surpassed all of our expectations. The food was out of this world, the restaurant was an amazing vibe and Annabelle gave excellent service from start to finish. It was a wonderful experience - you’ve passed our favourite restaurant and have become our new number one. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!

Great menu, stylish venue, fair prices, only lost a star due to slow service at the dessert stage. Why do restaurants take your order then leave you hanging...?

Lovely place to eat and staff were great.

Only popped in for a business networking event, but service was excellent and the snacks fabulous. Need to eat here

I do like this restaurant and I have had some excellent meals here however my last couple of visits haven't been great. The service this time wasn't great, although the bar staff were great and not included in this, when eating I had to actively ask for everything which felt more like a disruption rather than a service and my order was wrong so my food was cold by the time the order was corrected and paying £21 for two 250ml wines seemed excessive... It's a shame as I bought a client with me who was looking at the restaurant as a venue for daytime events Hope it goes back to how it used to be re service and food

Champagne breakfast is really good

Was staying nearby in a hotel and looking for somewhere for a nice meal. Managed to get a last minute booking for two people on a Saturday evening. Our table was in the 'terrace', more like a conservatory and away from the main bar area and other inside tables. We were very happy about the terrace as it was quieter than the main restaurant. I had the Double smash burger which was very nice. Good size. Nice meat and lovely bun. My wife had the Chicken Milanese which she also enjoyed. Very nice friendly service, and the whole place is really smart. Will definitely come back again next time we're in the area.

Went for breakfast and it was like being in the middle of a hen do. We had to ask for a high chair a few times and they got our order wrong. Poor customer service. Food average and overpriced for what it is.

Foods so delicious and very nice staff definitely going back again…

Went for champagne breakfast for my birthday with daughter & neice lovely food 😋 staff were very helpful & freindly especially David who was amazing 👏

This restaurant is located the other side of the railway station from the centre of town and it is possible to cross a bridge in the railway station. It was definitely worth the walk from our hotel in the town centre. It is advisable to book as the restaurant is deservedly very popular. It has a large and pleasant interior with well spaced out tables. My partner had a chicken dish which was very good. I had a pork dish which was absolutely superb. The service was excellent. We look forward to returning when we are next in Derby.

aesthetically the venue is lovely. our server named Gabie was delightful, really helpful and professional.

Sunday lunch here is bloody amazing. I've knocked a star off the atmosphere rating because the modern hard surfaces make it soooo noisy. If you are sensitive to noise...it's still worth the risk! Really, really good Sunday lunch.... Not cheap but relative to a good pub, pretty reasonable

Sunday Birthday meal with friends. Popular place with a buzz, food was very nice. Had a couple of bottles of wine the barman was happy to recommend and gave us tasters. I had the rump steak which was cooked exactly to my liking and was delicious.

Food delicious, the best Fish and chips I have tasted

Went for cream tea which was very disappointing. They have just started offering this on the menu and haven’t got it right. It didn’t feel like a treat very basic. Service was great and the waitress really looked after us and welcomed the feedback.

What a gem of a restaurant!! Staff were amazing. I was torn between 3 dishes and asked the waitress to pick one and not tell me. I did put her on the spot but she did well! 😅 So when it came out it was a surprise and it was the salmon. Dear God it was heavenly. Crispy skin....al dente brocolli. Just beautiful! I can't wait to go back for more.

Just returned back from my nieces 13th birthday party Food very good service excellent waitress very friendly always had a smile on her face manager couldn’t be more of a gentleman very friendly you don’t get that standard of service in many places now sadly

Visited on a Monday night with friends thinking it would be quiet but the restaurant was buzzing . Friendly service , tasty food .

Good food, staff are very pleasant, however on this occasion slow service and I don't mean 5-10 minutes....over 30 ish. Got offered free drinks, which I declined...you can't put a winge on if you take a gift...will still return.

Absolute stunning place and the food was the best I’ve ever eaten and the drinks too .. defiantly coming back staff were great too

“Fantastic service, everyone was extremely helpful and we are looking forward to coming back on the 15th November, thank you again.

Your fillet steak was one of the best I've tasted compliments to your chef. The atmosphere was lively and you staff were very friendly and helpful. It's the second time I have been here and will be back for my birthday in December with friends.

Excellent! We were made to feel really special. This was a treat some much needed Mother and Daughter time, we had the champagne breakfast. Everything was amazing, well done to all of the team front and back of house. Thank you 😊”

Great evening at seven our friends came from Birmingham. One of the party has a nut seed allergy. Our lovely waiter for the evening dark wavey hair sorry didn't get your name. You are a big asset to the restaurant knew the menu cocktails well. Explained to us all what was in the product reccomend dishes drinks. The food came out piping hot & didn't disappoint. Would highly recommend seven one of our favourite places in Derby . Keep up the good work you made our night such a good one 👍

Greeted with a smile. Came for lunch on a Friday, the member of staff who served us was great, she even popped in the WI-FI password for me. Food was great and plenty of options to choose from.

Manager is the worst I've ever encountered. "jase" was very rude and unhelpful and treated the waiting staff like muck. Shame

Recently went for dinner to Seven. Absolutely loved the food & ambience it’s such a perfect atmosphere with friends and colleagues it really sets the mood right for the night. The food is well priced for the portion size however; we found the fish & chips to be not very fresh and was cooked to perfection. Other than that, the drinks were amazing and the cocktails were great. Drinks were priced at a reasonable price for the locality and nature of restaurant. I would definitely recommend dining here as the experience & staff are wonderful and super funny too 😄 the dessert menu is something you should not miss keep space because it’s totally worth it.

Nice place to have a meal, seems popular

Amazing food and amazing service by Tabitha! Perfect environment for date night.

Lovely food and atmosphere will be back

Alex was fantastic!! Asked if we were celebrating & brought out a celebratory dish at the end of our meal. Very friendly and efficient. It was also great to see some vegan options on the menu. More please! Thanks

Excellent value, casual but sophisticated. Great cocktails

Nice meal. Bit pricey but food and service was excellent

Very noisy room, long wait for drinks not sure why. Food was ok, staff very friendly

This was our first time at Severn, it was a great first experience. Will be returning. Atmosphere/Building/Decor: The inside of restaurant/bar was decorated impeccably. Very modern and tasteful and an enjoyable space to dine in. Smart, casual and classy vibes. Food: We went on a Sunday, which had the option of a Sunday roast or other options if you don’t fancy a roast dinner. All food looked really well presented. I had the crispy beef salad, which was one of the best salads I have ever eaten, moreover some of the nicest food I’ve ever eaten. There were lots of options on the menu, lots I would like to try. Plenty of veggie options and vegan options also. The dessert menu is fantastic, I had trouble choosing one as I wanted them all. I had the pistachio and almond torte, which was as described- the dessert was quite large though and I would have been happy with half the portion I received. Not a complaint, more of a suggestion. Great side dish options also. Next time I visit, I’m trying some of the starters they had, which were varied and would be something on there that most people would like. Drinks: lots of drink selection available. The cocktail menu is small, but has the classics on. Great selection of wines, beers and soft drinks also. Price: reasonably priced considering the standard of food, definitely worth the money. 3 drinks (inc alcohol), 2 mains and 1 dessert cost us roughly £55. Service: shout out to the lady who served us. Well presented and polite (I think her name was Tabitha). Other severs were really welcoming and friendly also. Attentive service, but not overbearing. All in all great service. Speed of service was very good also.

Wow what can I say came for my daughters 21st and from start to finish you All will made the night perfect. Food was absolutely beautiful and nothing was too much trouble . Perfect venue for a top class birthday venue cannot recommend this place enough , special shout out to Dave who went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great night . Do not forget to visit us at our busy coffee shop /cafe willow wood next to the regal st Ripley ; will be back again soon xxxx

I had a great time here, the staff were really lovely and kept checking up making sure we were having a good time. I really enjoyed the food! Not happy with the veggie sausages though, I was expecting a substitute rather than veg and mash in a sausage shape. Although thats not an actual restaurant or staff issue, other than that I loved it!

Visited today with my daughter and grand daughter for the champagne Breakfast. The food was plentiful and delicious and the service was spot on, a big shout out for our server Corey who was attentive and helpful and made the whole experience enjoyable. We will definitely be back

Not many parking spots. Need to be there early in the evening

Had a private room booked for a birthday party on the 1st aug .the restaurant is lovely and the food very good but the person who served us was absolutely amazing he was so funny and friendly and genuinely a lovely person .he joined in had amazing banter and really became part of the night .thank you Dave you made the evening ! 10 stars xxxxx

Gorgeous seating area outside in their enclosed garden space. Sofa seating all the way around with tables and seating, really lovely vibe. Food is delicious! I ordered the Chicken Club sandwich which came with fries and a little salad garnish. Really was lovely! Drinks options are great and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning 🙌🏼🥂

Great food Great service Great menu and excellent atmosphere. Definitely coming back

discretionary | dis·​cre·​tion·​ary definition: left to individual choice or judgment : exercised at one's own discretion This should be emphasised at your next staff meeting. We came a few days ago and placed our order, 45m-1hr until our food arrives after asking for a while. Drinks took their time too. When it came to paying the bill, we decided to take the discretionary service charge off as we thought that we didn't have the usual decent service and took ages to get the food. We went back to our table to get money and when we returned back to the till, we can see the waitress having a meltdown and showing anger towards something (which we didn't realise was us), it is only when one of her colleagues said "shh they're behind you", did I realise that we had severely upset the waitress by removing the service charge. However a discretionary service charge should not be expected, so the waitress shouldn't get upset. Furthermore, we gave the waitress £20 too much and noticed it when she was counting it. After saying "Sorry did I give you too much" she shoved the £20 notes back into my direction, without looking and gave us major attitude for the next few minutes we were there. She even came back to the table and angrily put 45p change on to the table and walked off. The manager was nothing but nice throughout, just wish she was the one waiting on our table. I've been to Seven many times over the last few years, but this was definetly my last time. Sincerest apologies to the waitress to whom got overly upset regarding removing a service charge and for me being a major nuisance to her day by asking for £20 note that we had accidentally given to her, back. Please don't let this upset you further. Food was good but service, just at the end, let the entire thing down. 2-stars is only for the manager and because the food was nice. 1-star otherwise.

Poor poor quality food. Had beer battered haddock and triple cooked chips. Tasteless! The chips were not triple cooked, barely once/ twice. Others took off the batter and ate just the fish! I think the company needs to seriously think about rebranding from seven to maybe three!!!

11 of us went to Seven today, it was absolutely brilliant, the food amazing, the atmosphere perfect, Korrie our waiter was spot on, so lovely and helpful and made our party special, thank you, we will be back highly recommend 😀

Lovely place to eat staff very welcomed

Annabelle was amazing, fantastic service, It was my birthday and she really made it feel very special. Credit to your company. Thank you so much 😊

Great food, and a bright and relaxing atmosphere. Went during the day for lunch. Service was impeccable and the value for money well worth it.

I previously had a good experience here, but the manager on today was awful, I will not be coming back again.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Seven and we had a fantastic evening with our friends. The food was exceptional and cooked to perfection!! My friend was impressed with the gluten free menu which is the same as the main menu. The team wished my husband happy birthday individually and after our meal they gave him a platter with fireworks and chocolate brownies…..we are already looking forward to our return.

Came in for a last minute drinks catch up with a friend and it looked very busy but we were able to get a table and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Food appetisers and drinks we ordered were spot on and the staff constantly checked if we needed anything. Prices we fab too. Looking forward to going back.

Used to come here a lot and the food isn’t as nice as it used to be, for the price it should be a lot nicer, the potions aren’t great either so not fantastic value. Service is also slow.

Visited on Sunday lunchtime with friends. Lovely food (particularly the Yorkshire pudding) and great service from our waitress Gabby.

We came here for dinner, we had such a lovely experience we had the cornfed chicken and chicken milanese for mains and had wonderful deserts, particularly recommend the biscoff cheesecake. Our waiter David was the most welcoming and provided excellent service We sat in the terrace section which had a lovely atmosphere Would definitely return and highly recommend!!

Had a lovely meal here. Nice and cheap surprisingly, because it feels expensive (in a good way). The food was all amazing, and the whole place had a brilliant vibe. We had no booking, and were in terrace which was lovely. An Extensive and excellent wine list. We had the chicken milanese, cornfed chicken, pecan and treacle tart, and white chocolate biscoff cheesecake. David (Dave) our server made us feel absolutely at home. Definitely will be back and would recommend

Excellent food and attentive service. A great place to meet with previous work colleagues and partners. Have dined here before and not disappointed.

I left a 1 star five years ago because the food was some of the worse i'd tasted for money paid . I've now been twice over the last month and i have to say this is now my go to place for my date nights. Good solid menu with the perfect mix of atmosphere and the service is impeccable .. Well done the Seven Team ..

Had a superb dinner with my daughter which rounded off a lovely day. Excellent service, the most delicious food, second to none. Would definitely recommend the lamb and the salmon and we had lemon tart with blackcurrant sorbet for dessert, what amazing flavours !

Have been numerous times over the years and the food is always delicious, on time and served with a smile. You walk into the spacious dining area where you are greeted by one of the lovely hostesses who takes you over your table where you are promptly asked what you would like to drink - they have a great selection of lagers and ales on tap. The menu is diverse so plenty of options to choose from and they constantly change the menu by introducing specials to keep it fresh. Highly recommend the chicken ceaser salad and the Arancini to start for lunch! Will continue to come back as always leave feeling full and have got excellent value! Thanks again!

Went for a champagne breakfast yesterday (baby shower) . The young chap that was dealing with us was really lovely and helpful. But the woman manager was rude to him in front of customers to him .i thought the way she spoke to him was disgusting and really spoilt the atmosphere. He was running about mostly on his own .which was fine but then to see him being treated like that . Terrible

We cx are for my daughter baby shower, however the roads were closed do to the marathon so we ended up being 45 mins late… we had our own room which was lovely and the young lad who served us all morning on his own was fantastic, even when the kitchen messed up the food he was so apologetic… the food was fantastic. When we went down to pay the young lad who served us was behind the bar doing drinks… the lady (I presume the manager) was very rude to him and told him in an aggressive way that “if I’ve gotta do this you need to get in the floor (restaurant) and get her behind there”. We felt like it was effort for her to serve us but other than that I would definitely recommend 5*

1st time visiting lovely place , Gorgeous food, great service , nice atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and helpful, Patricia & Cory were excellent & very good members of staff , definitely recommend visiting & we'll definitely visit again 👍👍

Really relaxed and friendly atmosphere!

We waited half an hour for drinks, food was below standard and service was shocking. Multiple people complaining around us, when we asked for a gesture towards the bill this was refused stated there was nothing they could do. I have been a regular at Seven for many years and after this will not be returning.

1st time visiting, service was fine, food was tasty although a little short on content, nice relaxed atmosphere

Came for my sons 18th birthday. Very well looked after, lovely food, bit of a wait for our food, but a busy Sunday so was to be expected and we were kept informed. Great atmosphere. Would recommend and we will come again. Thankyou.😊

Went for a meal yesterday and it was the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. Had to wait over 30 minutes to just get a drink. Was completely ignored the entire evening by the wait staff. At the end we were sat with dirty plates on the table for almost 40 minutes, waiting to order desert. No one came, so we left payment on the table and just got up and went home. Unbelievable. I will never go back and I suggest to anyone else not to waste your time and money here.

Great for breakfast, would recommend.

Francheska was amazing. Brilliant host very funny and great service.

Had the best time, really lovely atmosphere, clean, beautiful setting. Service was very quick and hats off to Cory especially who was very attentive and took the time to ask us if we were celebrating anything special and it was birthday - then he brought out a lovely birthday brownie board for my friend. Very considerate.

Had a lovely steak cooked medium rare just how I asked for it.The server Louis s was excellent his knowledge was great made us feel very welcome and was friendly,and polite

We arranged a reunion with friends we hadn’t seen for over 45 years and when we arrived the restaurant was buzzing. The atmosphere was great, the service was spot on & the food was delicious. We can not praise Francesca enough, she had an amazing personality, very attentive and brilliant at her job. Every establishment needs a Francesca. The whole day for all of us was very emotional but magical all thanks to the staff. Fantastic x

This beautiful establishment has never let me down through the years. With its warm, spacious and inviting ambience, attentive staff and great location, I am always proud to introduce my friends and family to this restaurant. You are guaranteed great food which is consistently A1. If you want warm atmosphere, reproducibly good food, which is amazing value for money, an upmarket establishment and to feel special, please try Seven. I deem it to be the best restaurant in Derby ... well done team!!!

Great food and service. Definitely be back.

I took some American clients for dinner, and the staff made us all very welcome, especially Francesca she was delightful, what ever she is being paid, it isn't enough

Ist class restaurant & 1st class service. The food is beautiful! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

First time here with family friends. Food was wonderful and the service was exceptional. Would highly recommend

I frequently visit Seven, the service and the food are fantastic, always a friendly welcome. Best Pork medallions I've ever tasted. Highly recommend

Fabulous place , just a pity my date wasn't really being truthful with me 🤔

Very nice food at this establishment with a good choice on offer. Always busy so advisable to book. Car park gets busy but a pay and display is around the corner.

Excellent food. Service was good but a little slow.

First time visit, Lovely decor and style the food was wonderful and the staff were lovely 😁
