The Elephant And Peacock in Amber Valley

great place, lovely Indian food, real ale spot on too, staff lovely and helpful, more a restaurant than a pub but still worth a visit. Some great refurbishment carried out from the Strutt Arms days, well recommended 👍

I have had many Indian dishes. My starter and main course were delicious. I shall be returning to try out some more.

Excellent every time! Always fresh, tasty authentic food with a great atmosphere. If you’re looking for consistently 10/10 food and great service, this is the place to go.

Perfect blend of an English pub and an Indian restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere with delicious food. P.S. I don't like seafood but I love their Prawn starter dish. All the other currys/starters we've tried were also fantastic.

A very warm welcome, small menu of authentic food, service is excellent always happy to help and recommend . Strong recommend

Hotel room was large, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lots of parking. Full marks to the Indian restaurant too. Really good food and not expensive either.

Wow.. as a genuine hot Curry fan, this place is great! A small menu ensures great fresh cooked food and the levels of spice a flavour were top notch. Price was also great.. £50 for 2 with starters and drinks!

I went here over the weekend and everything was fantastic, the food was top notch, the price was reasonable and the selection of beers were fab. Will return

Railway Lamb is fantastic. Naan bread is very good.Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a visit.

Really loved our meal here on Saturday night. Great atmosphere nice and busy, but really quick, professional service. Food was brilliant too - concise but plenty of choice on the menu. Good portion sizes. One suggestion would be that there’s more vegetable sides on the menu (even just saag or okra). Great choice of drinks (full pub bar) including good low and no alcohol options. Don’t forget to grab a loyalty card with your bill. We’ll be back!

Lovely cosy pub feel, with restaurant quality Indian food. Had my first ever gluten free naan which was a nice surprise. A little eggy compared to a normal naan but a welcome addition none the less.

We went with family to celebrate my husbands birthday. We loved the idea of different Indian and English fusion. Before ordering we asked how hot certain menu choices were and were told mild. They certainly WERE NOT MILD! The food was mainly enjoyed (with a glass of water) but staff taking orders do need to know the spiciness of Meals on the menu when asked. I cannot remember the dish names but i had the seabass in coconut sauce (very hot) Others has the Indian Fish and chips... enjoyed but seperate sauce was very hot! The chicken dish was supposed to be mild but actually incredibly hot! The evening was enjoyed in a fabulous atmosphere. The bill had to be checked as our deposit wasn't taken off when 1st given it so had to ask for that to be done. Other than that a pleasurable evening.

Have been here twice now to eat and really enjoy the food. Nice combination of traditional Indian dishes with more pub based dishes. Tariwala Chicken and Railway lamb are delicious. The Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian was so nice too (and I don't normally like cauli) . Having the excellent gulabjaman with kulfi dessert rounded off the meal perfectly and we also enjoyed the Masala chai tea. Nice atmosphere, decor and friendly, helpful staff. Worth booking online at busy times

Sometimes when you walk into a restaurant you get a feeling - a vibe - as to how the evening is going to go. The E&P immediately gave off a feeling of ‘we’ve got this’ and it was easy to relax knowing it was going to be good. It’s a large prominent building on the A6 near the river which had been empty for a while, so it was good to see it back in use - and after seeing the characteristic adverts on roundabouts in Derby, it was good to put 2 and 2 together to realise it was this place! Inside it’s been smartly renovated in a contemporary style and can probably be best described as an Indian gastro pub. The service was impeccable and the menu thoughtfully chosen. A ‘pile it high curry house’ this is not - instead a set number of select, quality, authentic dishes. The food was delicious, the service faultless and overall it was an excellent experience. We will be back!

Very nice, good welcome and attentive service. Curry itself, starters and mains,were lovely, perhaps portion size slightly smaller than normal. Beers were fine too Somewhat more expensive than I felt justified. By the time you've added your rice and a side, you're up to £7 for a starter and £24 or so for a main, which I felt was a bit much for a curry.

Lovely food with efficient service. Nice twist of pub food with Indian influence. Nice surroundings and will come again. Thanks!

Lovely food, very friendly staff

This is an absolute must visit restaurant. We used to frequent the old Strutt Arms many years ago, and it's so nice to see the glorious building brought back to life. Decor is lovely, staff are really friendly and the food is outstanding. Including dishes like Railway Lamb on the menu shows you this is a cut above other Indian restaurant menus. A real gem.

This pub has a sister Indian restaurant near Willington… which is also spectacular!

We stayed 2 nights and it was such a warm welcoming place. Sunny the manager was amazing and his staff were all friendly and attentive. The room was quality and the Indian food was lovely we can't wait to return Ann-Marie and Gazx

Lovely restaurant 1st visit and would like to think its not the last everything was gorgeous. Welcoming staff lovely comfy restaurant and food was delicious piping hot and order arrived swiftly. Staff very attentive and helpful. Loved it.

Great food. Good staff. Nice place.

Well we booked here last minute and gotta say, very glad we did.Food was brought out quickly and everything was sooooo nice.Very pleasant staff and servers. I had the jalfrezi,pilau rice and garlic naan plus the chilli chips,which had a sticky sweet chilli coating,good kick to them and very tasty. Wife had the Butter chicken,she's a authority on butter chicken and she loved it,very creamy and tasty apparently.she had the cheese naan.As I said everything was really tasty.It is a lovely place,nice and quiet,bit of background music but nothing that interferes.Overflow car park is very dark so be aware.Will be returning for definite,need to try the fish and chips....

Absolutely loved this place, great food especially the starters. We also stayed overnight here - clean, Modern and friendly - Well worth a visit. Nice breakfast too. Stayed it lots of places around Derby and this is one of the best.

A wet Saturday lunchtime, we stumbled across this little gem of a place. Food fantastic and lovely staff. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Had a fantastic evening here celebrating my sister’s birthday with all the family. Food was really delicious and nice to see different dishes on offer from the standard. First time curry eaters were helped with samples and talking through the options available, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Thanks so much for making our evening so enjoyable!

Stuck in floods. Best welcome in the world on a wet and windy night. The staff bent over backwards to help us unload the car and get settled after a terrible journey. Breakfast was superb and we left there feeling like we wanted to go back. Can't praise it enough.

We were stuck in floods and desperate for somewhere to stay. The staff made us very welcome and made a great effort to look after us. Very comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast. Can't praise it enough.

Went as a couple at about 5.30pm to eat ( had booked a table for 6pm but were a bit early). Pub side was busy though restaurant side was quiet at that time. However, we were welcomed by host and shown to our table, and were then looked after by two charming and efficient young waiting staff. Had drinks to start (my pint of draft at £3.90 was good value and tasty), followed by popadums and unlimited pickles. My wife ordered the prawn curry and delicious peshwari naan, and I had four starter/street food dishes: lamb chops, prawns, roast cauliflower and chopped samosas. All the food was gorgeous. The menu is quite small, but everything is really delicious. By the time we finished eating at 7pm, the restaurant was really busy so advisable to book. Would highly recommend.

Lovely evening..been several times now..good on every occasion

Great place for an authentic curry,

We stayed stayed here twice in the same week for travelling to and from the area to visit family. Our first stay we had Room 4 - A Superior Double This room from the moment you walked in was so large and spacious, it also came with an en-suite that offered a walk in shower We were provided a fan in both rooms, There is no air conditioning within this hotel most likely due to its age and current listing we imagine it’s a grade 1 or 2 listed building and it’s stunning both inside and out, the current owners and transformed it to look even better than before with brilliant colours and wallpapers. We had a great nights sleep in this room. On our second visit we had their suite Room 1 - Deluxe Double with Bath The free standing bath was a lovely touch it was big but could of done with a slightly better clean if I’m being a little picky, The only other downsides to this room were the heat it gets if you stay during summer as it faces the sun in the afternoons it was so hot day and night and sadly the beds were two singles where this room could and should accommodate a King / Queen or Double sized bed. The bed quality and sleep wasn’t as good in this room sadly but we still had a good stay. It’s also worth noting currently the chef has Mondays off so their is a continental breakfast only with toast but they do offer more than enough to please. We did have a full English on our second stay and the only things missing were toast and black pudding other wise it was lovely fresh filling but could of done just slightly a bit more. Still a brilliant couple of nights here and we would definitely return and recommend to loved ones to stay here.

We have just left from our 1 night stay. Check in was welcoming and efficient. Sampled a few drinks from the cocktail menu before our evening meal, all of which were flavourful. Staff really friendly. Room was to a nice standard. Warm but air con units are available and effective. Seem relatively newly refurbished. The decor choices throughout are really tasteful. Respectful to the buildings heritage with a modern twist. Enjoyed a beautiful meal in a really pleasant environment. Chilli chips were very spicy! Whole meal was full of fresh flavour. Breakfast was plentiful. Again friendly and attentive staff on hand. Breakfast was a combination of fresh cooked full English which was cooked to perfection and a continental with a nice combination of pastries and cereals. The Elephant and Peacock exceeded expectations in all regards. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Lovely food, lovely drinks, nice atmosphere. service was pretty good, our dessert order didn't go through to the kitchen at first but as soon as it had was really quick and food quality was amazing.

Great alround lovely evening would recommend food is beautiful 👍

Lovely location for a meal. Great service. Fantastic food that tasted as good as it looked.

Food, service everything is amazing every time we go!!! Love the happy hour. Can never resist getting food too! Chilli garlic chips are my fave.

Really nice pub - great decor and brilliant location - had starters only which were lovely and tasty and great value for money. Beers were nice and plenty parking.

Booked a table for4 for Sat night in the bar area. Arrived to be put in the restaurant area which has no atmosphere and is like a school dinner hall. Found my own table in the bar and we told the staff member we had moved. After half an hour still had no service from anyone. So we left and went to viceroy for exceptional food and service. I shall not be coming back here.

It's a nice pub with Asian flair. The grub was a bit of British/Indian fusion, which was a nice change to other boozers in and around the Derby area. Midweek though, there are not too many customers, so we were eating in practically an empty pub. I enjoyed the food, though.

Lovely big clean room with comfortable bed. Very hospitable, great choice for breakfast nothing was too much trouble. Very good value for money would definitely return again.

We had a really enjoyable, well-priced meal at the Elephant and Peacock. The quality and ambience of the pub is very impressive and when greeted on entry, you can choose to sit in the bar or spacious restaurant. The interior is very tasteful, combining a gastro pub feel with a lively bar and Indian twist. The menu is a mix of Indian cuisine and pub favourites with a hint of spice or other nods to authentic flavours from the sub-continent. The service was attentive, our food was plentiful and delicious, especially the very reasonably priced children’s meals. Desserts were smaller but ideal for a sensibly-priced shot of sweetness to finish, without being over filling. We loved the concept, all round quality and left very happy!

Seriously impressed with the food and great service. Freshest ingredients we've come across in an Indian. Everything cooked to perfection and so tasty. Interesting items on the menu at modest prices. Will definitely return!

Called one Thursday evening (quiz night in the pub and very busy) for the first time we have visited this restaurant and it was a lovely surprise. The service was truly excellent and the sensible menu had something for everyone. We will return!

Fantastic food, service and location. Just when you think it couldn't be any better, they do happy hour on drinks! Highly recommended my new favourite place to go! Love the food 😋

I couldn’t recommend the Elephant and Peacock more highly. We went yesterday for a small family celebration and all of us ( including my fussy 7 year old son ) were well catered for. Stunning food with great flavours, perfect portions and great service and...

Had a wonderful meal here yesterday, there were 7 of us and we all loved the food, all the staff were lovely and we had a nice relaxing birthday meal for my son

Unable to comment on the food as we sat at our table for over half an hour and were completely ignored by the staff despite the place being pretty empty. We had to leave, at which point the member of staff lurking at the staff...

Need to re organise the seating and lights. Need more space in the carpark

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay from the welcome we received on arrival, the beautiful room to the fantastic food. We will definitely come back here. Happy hour £3 for a pint of Cobra.

A lovely chilled out Sunday evening at the peacock. I can recommend the pizza, it went down a treat washed with a pint of cobra! Loved the karaoke singer, sounded like a mixture of Michael Jackson and Billy Ocean.......funky!

Absolutely gorgeous food, well worth the money, couldn't fault it so tasty.

Lovely place - make sure to order a side to go with the main

Best curry I've had in many years. Beautiful rooms, great night's sleep. Very friendly and accommodating staff

Lovely spot. So much better than the old strutts.

Lovely food, great efficient friendly staff. Enjoyed it. Thanks. Another visit (now been 6 or 7 times). Railway Lamb is now my favourite curry out of all the curry houses I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot.

Great Indian food and good service, we will definitely eat here again

The food at The Elephant and Peacock is absolutely brilliant, but the service really needs to improve, this is the third time I’ve been over 6 months and the service is always the same. One member of staff running round like mad, super pleasant and...

Great location and ambience, excellent staff, food is amazing! Definitely recommend!

Awful Avoid at all cost Worst curry ever and very expensive And that says a lot....

Fantastic food. Inventive fusion dishes, real authentic flavours on the railway lamb and Kerala prawns. I could have been back in India. Will definitely return.

Thoroughly recommend this place. It was a last minute decision to book, easy to do on line. Made to feel very welcome, excellent service, food was gorgeous and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back.

Food was amazing, very tasty and reasonably priced. Friendly staff

On arrival the place was pretty quiet it was a Thursday evening Around 30 mins after the place started to fill We were a group of 7 - Menu great a twist of Indian with hint of transitional pub grub with flair Everyone ate starters...

Wow, where to start. This place was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and the food here The staff were attentive and kind, the restaurant had a cosy/comfy vibe to it and overall it felt welcoming The food was top tier, nice variety of options The food can be a bit on the spicy side so if you like your food on the mild side, let the staff know when you're placing the order Overall 5/5

WORST curry I had in a very long time Onion bhajis we're greese balls with zero flavour To witch I sent back Shik kebab was tough as boosts but at this point I gave up and ate them as I was out with my daughter...

Really nice place in Milford, Derbyshire. Where I had 2 pints of Guinness with a Lamb Railway Curry with plain rice plus a plain nam bread. Great staff and most Excellent food too.

We loved our time there! Beautiful, elegant interior. Delicious food - starters and mains. Highly recommended! We'll be back for sure.

Heard very good things and so decided to go for dinner. Food was fantastic. The starters are all incredible, as are the mains. The indian inspired classics again are all worth trying but the curries are the show stopper.

The place is nicely decorated and feels really good. Starters were nice and popadoms were good. A little tight with the pickle tray! Mains were ok. Curries are better at the Indian. 3 of us had the fish which was poor. Small piece with very...

We had been to the Strutt in the early days when it was a favourite drinking venue. Since the refit and change of ownership ,it has been totally transformed We called for an early dinner ( as a walk in), quite a few people dining,...

Lovely Indian twist on fish and chips

Disappointed Webb site says serves food till 10pm. Arrived 9.15pm should have twigg something was a miss when seen chef Avin a fag outside. And gave us a strange look . Walk in and ask for table for two.got another strange look like we’ve got two heads. Taken to table ordered bottle of wine. All seemed of ok. Then the guy takin the food order says the starters and mains would have to be served all together. Wot on the same plate. Time to exit stage right. Didn’t try the food. Couldn’t stomach the customer service. First rule of business do the hours on the door. Won’t waste my time again and definitely would not recommend avoid.

Great food and service, very accommodating. Will defo be going again

Wonderful experience. The food was superb, service excellent and a smart, atmospheric place. A really interesting menu offering some totally different choices from the norm. Five of us all selected different starters and mains and all the dishes were faultless with some taste explosions! A...

Stopped by to check this place out today. We had booked a table online for when it opened at 12, but we weren't aware that food service doesn't start until 1pm. No problems, we enjoyed a drink and were grateful when the barman offered to get us some popadums to snack on before we were able to order. The food was delicious when it arrived, I went for a butter chicken and my partner the lamb burger. Portions were just right for us. Inside, the place is beautifully decorated and is a really nice place to sit for a few hours. I hope we are able to come back some day to try some other things on the menu!

Had a birthday meal at The Elephant & Peacock for 11 people. Lauren and the rest of the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious, I had the masala fish n chips and the drinks were reasonably priced. The location and decor is a credit to the Derbyshire landscape. I would definitely recommend The Elephant & Peacock for a lovely night out for food, drinks, chats and chillin.

Nicely renovated old hotel and restaurant in a pretty location. Modern, lovely and clean rooms with air conditioning units. Plenty of free parking and two other real ale pubs nearby. Short but perfect menu of dishes with an Indian influence. Good choice of beers, both draft and bottled. All reasonably priced. Nice staff, but a few need a bit of extra training.

Food good, poor service and the car park not well lit. My friend and I thought it disappointing for the price.

We stayed at the hotel part of the complex and had lunch and dinner also in the restaurant. The menu was very varied and caters for all different taste in India food. I would definatly eat here again if in the area.

Fantastic service, great atmosphere. We were a table of four, three meat eaters and one vegan. Meat eaters all loved their starters and main courses. I am the vegan and once again disappointed by the vegan choices and quality of food, especially the prices charged for a dish of potatoes and spinach. If you are a vegan or vegetarian probably not the place to visit. Good to see a good selection of beers at a sensible price.

Decided to try for a birthday treat. Prompt service, seated in the conservatory which did lack a restaurant feel , so next time will request the restaurant area. Food was great, tasty and well presented. The only negative was the music, we both love the...

1st time here. The food was amazing. Very tasty

Very attentive staff. Food good. Music too loud for us and I suspect a significant proportion of other diners. Good to see it busy. Would like to try other dishes before really commenting on the menu.

Our first visit since it has changed hands. We sat in the bar near to the entrance to the conservatory - it was a little on the cold side so we moved to the restaurant (as it was a big area and quite quiet -...

Could be a good pub. Only opens 12 noon weekends. Why they dont open the bar during the week I don't know. In my opinion they are missing out...I'm drinking not eating there.

Been in a few times, food is sooo good and the staff are lovely, not 1 complaint everytime from our table, i would lick the plate if no one was watching

Amazing food and lovely and very helpful waitress

Visited here on a Wednesday night , 8 of us in total , service was amazing even though they were quite busy , food came out altogether ,it was hot and really tasty . I enjoyed it that much I visited again on the Sunday...

Wonderful food great atmosphere Staff so helpful and welcoming nothing was too much trouble

An amazing menu, lots of choice from delicious curries, lovely staff and fantastic service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon.

It says on the sign public house but it was an Indian restaurant and we had to move 3 times. We went for a few drinks and we were all disappointed!!!

way better than my low expectations. Great menu, food and drinks… great delivery. Overall very worth a visit. Wishing you success

Really good food, great service, reasonable prices - we were really looked after!

Really lovely food, well priced. Staff were very attentive and pleasant. Lovely atmosphere in the bar area, all in all a lovely evening.

Visited here twice now & its safe to say I'll be visiting again many times. This place is fantastic as a laid back pub serving a fantastic selection of drinks combined with a restaurant serving Indian starters & curries & some classic pub dishes with an Indian twist. The layout, the decor, the ambiance & the service is excellent, can't wait to visit again.

This was a wonderful meal. Amazing service and perfectly prepared dishes. Highly recommended. It’s such a great place.

We loved the food we had. Lamb and chicken curries, garlic naan, pilau rice, chilli fish, stuffed paratha. Will come again but the service speed could be improved.

Great food with a novel approach to Indian Cuisine. Helpful advice and reasonably prompt service could be improved with additional staff.
