The Elephant And Peacock in Amber Valley

I have been here on several occasions and absolutely love it! The curries are amazing and the roast dinner is maybe the best I've ever had at a pub. Drinks are good value especially at happy hour. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Will be back!

Well thought out menu and nicely spiced food. The staff are polite and courteous. Such a lovely pub experience. Will definitely be back!

This place is great, the food was really nice, with some unusual dishes, all the staff were very attentive whilst adding a sense of humor and it's in a good location, PS the toilets are nice too 👍

We had a cracking meal. We met a lovely young man called Deepak. He gave us some amazing advice on his favourite meal. Which by the way is mixed grill for two! Must have an appetite. 10/10

We always divert this way en route from Cornwall to Manchester to eat here. Absolutely delicious food, especially the street food, starters. Wonderful friendly staff. Clean and delightful interior. Fabulous

A top quality pub. We had the Indian starters - really tasty and beautifully cooked. Great staff, and very nice quality decor. We'll be back to do the entire starter menu - it made a great Indian tapas 😁

Recently, I dined at The Elephant and Peacock with friends. The starters were a delightful beginning, bursting with flavor and setting high expectations. Our main courses were equally tasty. The ambiance added to the experience with its inviting atmosphere, but the limited menu left us craving more options. Additionally, the service could have been more attentive, as we found ourselves waiting for long stretches without check-ins. All in all, a decent spot for Indian cuisine but with room for improvement in variety, service, and value.

Had some great food here the Sunday roast was incredible however, no one came to take our drinks order after we sat down I had to find someone & the food & bill took forever to arrive - we still tipped since the food was so good

Had the lamb truffle korma. One of the best lamb dishes I've eaten.

Visited midweek to celebrate a friends birthday and did not regret it! The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond. Right from he lady who greeted us and took us to our table to both of the gentleman taking our orders and serving our food - everyone was informative, approachable and polite. The food was outstanding, arrived fast and was beautifully cooked. Incredible value for money considering how much we ate and how full we were! Could not fault it at all! To top the evening off, the waitress delivered a stunning warm chocolate brownie with ice cream with a candle in for my friends birthday, complimentary and so far above and beyond our expectations. It was the kindest gesture and was massively appreciated. We will definitely be back and I would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Went to the first roast served at E&P. Was insane. The pork crackling was best ever tasted. They also do a gluten free roast (second picture) with GF Yorkshire pudding, gravy and stuffing. (My kid had the Old Delhi Paneer as she wasn’t into roasts). It was so good and we tried the wine recommended with the pork and that was also totes lush. Hung around and the live music started at 5, which was also fun. Usually come here for the curries but great to have the Sunday lunch option as well. Thanks to the new owners for saving this beautiful historical building too. Go get fat.

First time we have eaten there and it won’t be our last. The food was delicious, polite and friendly staff and impeccably clean. One of the best Indian restaurants in Derbyshire. Highly recommended.

This place is up there with the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to! I highly recommend the (new to the menu) Thai lemongrass and coconut sea bass! It is the nicest, tastiest curry I have ever had, beautiful flavours!

Mouth watering meals, lovely decor and great service in the best location in Derbyshire. After a pleasant hike with friends, we stayed in one of the rooms at the Hotel above the restaurant. Sunny is the perfect host

I had room booked at the Elephant and Peacock for work and was warmly welcomed upon arrival. I was kindly taken to my room and shown back downstairs for tea. Katie went through the menu explaining some of the dishes and opted for the Tariwala which has nice amount of richness and spice. The portion size was perfect and not leaving me feel sluggish. The room was perfect and ideal for a short stay, super comfy bed and great shower. Katie was back the next morning for breakfast and quickly gave me the much needed coffee. My breakfast was incredible and quite easily one of the nicest full English breakfast I've had. Everything was cooked to perfection especially the poached egg. I couldn't recommend the Elephant and Peacock highly enough if you're needing a place to stay where they literally tick all the boxes. Thanks to Katie and Vince for my warm welcome and keep doing what you do 🤗.

Beautiful food was very tasty couldn't fault anything The staff was very nice and polite The restaurant was well set out and very clean in all areas This was our first time at your restaurant and we will definitely be back Another plus we caught happy hour so that made a nice surprise when the bill came Thankyou for a lovely meal

Food is incredible best curry I’ve had in ages!! We will be back.

Awesome food, the best Indian restaurant we’ve visited. The friendly service went above and beyond to accommodate. Railway Lamb was delicious! Thank you!

A first class restaurant, the lamb and paneer curries were some of the best I’ve tasted. I travelled well over an hour for this and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Excellent food, matched only by the service, highly reccomend.

Fantastic food and the loveliest people.

Food was delicious, wish I lived close enough to have it weekly!

We went early doors, a party of 6, to celebrate a birthday. The early doors offer is beer and house wine are £3 each, and the place was buzzing. Not sure what time the offer stsrts but it finishes at 6. The food wss excellent, the staff were very helpful and friendly. On Sundays they have live music from 4pm so will give that a try.

We booked two nights including breakfast here as we needed to visit a friend. We also had dinner on the first night. It far exceeded our expectations for a pub. The room was hotel standard as was the food. The traditional English pub is owned and run by Sikhs which is a great combination. Olde World English pub with Indian design touches, and delicious Indian food and hospitality. What's not to love?

Fantastic Indian food, great beer and a well finished room.

Poor from the outset! No knives and forks had to get our own. Onion Bhaji small balls of congealed grease - Yuk Samosas were actually cold and a bit squashed and messy. Pickle tray had a green, taste free goo and two portions of identical mango chutney as they’d “run out of salad” at 7.45pm?? Main was a coconut fish curry which actually wobbled like jelly in the bowl….bland and gloopy - not sure anything fresh went into making it. Pilau rice was ok as was the naan. Buttered chicken edible but nothing special. Had to find staff to get a second drink as the service was so poor. The venue is very nice but it outclasses the food and service we had by a million miles. Eaten Indian food for years and this is one of the worst meals I’ve had in a decade. Don’t waste your time or money. There are much better nearby!

Food terrible. The pickle tray had one free goo and two identical mango chutney. When asked why there was no variety the waitress we normally have salad but ran out. The starter of onion banjo was small, greasy chewy balls of batter with no discernible onion and the cold vegetable simosa mess was very unappetising. The main course was a congealed mess masquerading as a coconut fish curry ( actually wobbled like jelly when served suggesting to me freshly made it wasn’t) tasted bland and gloopy! Pilau rice was ok. Buttered chicken was slightly better but worst eaten in years. The service was useless. No knives and forks had to get our own and had to go to the bar to get a drink. Hopeless. Lovely old former pub deserves better standard of food. Really ruined wife’s birthday meal and won’t go there ever again. Reheated slops in my opinion and congealed and nothing freshly prepared. Does not deserve above two star! Don’t water you time and money - Worst experience for years!

Nice place for a drink 🍷 and a meal. For drinks we had a few sauvignon blanc and malabar IPA both very nice. We had starters of lamb chops and chilli fish which again were nice, the only improvement would be 3 chops as 2 just seemed a little small. Mains were chicken jalfrezi and tariwala chicken with pilau rice and garlic naan which we enjoyed followed by use both having apple and cinnamon crumble. Service was very attentive and the place was clean with a good atmosphere ( and the gents were nice and clean). 😃

Fab place for our wedding anniversary celebrations. Lovely ambience, staff and great menu served perfectly. Really enjoyed my lamb starter but think 3 cutlets rather than 2 would be better value as my portion was tiny compared to the fish dish my partner enjoyed. The chicken curry was the best l have had in a restaurant for quite a while and the apple crumble was a nice different dessert for an Indian restaurant

First time visit with friends. Menu is limited for vegetarians. Will be going back.

Our celebratory event for 45+ at The Elephant and Peacock was a huge success. Our guests thought the food was sublime and we were delighted with both the service and the staff, who couldn't have been more helpful. The friends who stayed over in the hotel also said the rooms were gorgeous. We wouldn't hesitate to choose the Elephant and Peacock again for a function or indeed for dinner or a drink. Our go-to venue! Thank you Sunny, Abin, Holly and the rest of the team.

We had a really comfortable night sleep, lovely room, the bathroom was lovely also. Our breakfast was cooked perfectly and sausages and bacon were butchers quality!

Another visit to what is becoming one of my favourite venues. Great food, good presentation, excellent service from friendly staff, and reasonably priced. Quieter night for them as been very busy over the bank holiday break. Used the ladies room and was well impressed. Definitely worth stopping off to use the facilities, modern, spotlessly clean, plenty of soap etc. Apparently have 11 B&B rooms here, going to check them out in the next few weeks as family wedding looming.

Visited on a Saturday 3.30pm for happy 2 hours. Beer and wine £3 👍. Stayed for food as loved the vibe. We will return .

Had a magnificent lunch today with my family, The Elephant & Peacock is truly a Gem, from the starters to the Main course. Special thanks to our hostess who was kind & thoughtful in helping us with our orders. Without doubt one of the best dining experiences we have had. We are all looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to you all. Dev.

Really friendly, excellent food and great service. Staff went above and beyond for us especially when my daughter fell over and hurt herself Staff went out of their way to look after us. The Tarka Dhal was probably the best we've ever had and we've had a lot! Very family friendly and definitely worth 5 stars

Last minute emergency booking after a camping trip was ended prematurely! Couldn’t have been more helpful, early accommodating check in, brilliant room, amazing happy hour, excellent beer and cider, very busy with a lively outside terrace coupled with superb service. Later on the food was excellent with very quick service, as well as the next morning breakfast service with a full English that was just right! Even the poached egg was perfect! Thanks Sunny. Hope to see you again. R&H

We stayed here overnight on our way to Buxton. We were pleasantly surprised, everything from the room to the selection of drinks available was spot on , would highly recommend the biryani with a crust on top delicious 🤤

Our favourite place to go! We eat here 2-3 times a month and love it. Exceptional food and service. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is great. Look forward to seeing you all soon. Sarah & Callum

Popped into the Elephant and Peacock on the offchance on late return home from visiting Saturday evening, so hadnt been planned. (Had only been in here once before when we had had a drink and snack mid afternoon). It was just after 9.30pm, and even though the kitchens were about to shut they obliged with making us food. I love the feel of this place and the decor is really smart - spacious and welcoming. The food was excellent, and service was obviously pretty speedy as there were few diners at that time. We had two curries with a chilli fish starter all served together, 2 naans, and a couple of drinks , bill came to £49.00 which thought was reasonable. Definitely intend to go again.

I stayed at The Strutt arms for 2 nights and arrived on a Friday. The bar/restaurant are called the elephant and peacock, so it can get a bit confusing. We decided to eat here on our first night because it is Indian food. The restaurant was full, so we ate our food in the conservatory area of the bar. You can also eat in the main bar or the tables outside. We ordered starters, mains courses, rice and naan. All the food we had was absolutely delicious. We loved it so much that we decided to eat there the following night and try different dishes. We loved the pina colada cocktails and seemed to set a trend for them with the locals! The second night we sat outside and it was lovely. The vibe of the place is so relaxed, yet lively. The locals are very friendly and we felt very welcomed here. The staff are also nice and our whole experience was perfect. The food was definitely the best Indian food I’ve tasted outside of India. We will definitely be back.

Some of the best Indian food I've ever tasted

Friendly staff . Quiet and relaxed in the restaurant. Reasonably priced menu and very tasty food. Loved the cocktails , my friend had a bourbon one it was presented in a Smokey glass bell jar. Would definitely dine here again.

Absolutely loved everything about our meal here tonight. Excellence all round. Outstanding service by our waitress Holly who was perfectly attentive and friendly. Our orders were taken promptly and the food was ready very quickly. The food was gorgeous - so tasty and a special request to make one of the dishes hotter was honoured perfectly. A lovely ambience and interior decor too. Massive thanks to Holly and the rest of tonight’s team. My new favourite place - highly recommend.

Combined our wedding anniversary weekend with our daughters birthday weekend and with family being down finally managed to visit. It was well worth the wait as the food was excellent and we felt it to be good value for money. The icing on the cake was the staff bringing our daughter a brownie/ice cream on the house after hearing it was her birthday. A lovely touch and hopefully we won't leave it as long before our next visit! Thanks! 😀

Excellent stay rooms very clean and comfortable food well cooked and tasty in restaurant had a wonderful curry breakfast was great plenty of free parking will definitely visit again

Accidental stop on a walk. Did a picky bits selection from the starter menu and it was delicious. The spice was spicy enough to feel it but the flavours were still there, the cauliflower was also amazing. All round a great experience! Would definitely recommend

Our first time at the Elephant and peacock Hospitality was great There’s not a wide range on the menu but the food was extremely good very tasty Nothing was to much trouble

The beer was spot on the food was fantastic the best thank you all

Good food from a simple menu. Good do with additional vegetarian choice but overall very good 👍🏽

Finding the beautiful Elephant and Peacock after a long drive from Kent was utter joy! The interior design, the staff, comfort, and superb Indian cuisine made our 1 night stay memorable and wonderful. We had a Railway curry followed by pistachio kulfi, it was absolutely delicious, 5 stars. The staff were friendly and very professional, our room was very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything was brilliant value for money. We'll be back for sure!

A great pub and restaurant serving amazing food and refreshments. The staff are very accommodating and the food is delicious.

really nice well maintained looks amazing

Wonderful place with great food!!

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!

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.

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.

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 😋
