Best carvery in town. Such friendly people who go all out to make sure the food and experience is the best you can get. We have visitors overnight most weekends and we generally take them to the Jennings rooms for Sunday lunch. They all rave about the food and the staff. They have a winning formula here, don’t go changing

I had my husbands wake here on the 22/05/23. The attendance was over 50% more than I had booked for (booked for 100, nearly 200 came). The management and staff were amazing! They didn’t stop making extra food and ensured every single person was fed and went home with a full belly. The food was exceptional and the service was great. I would highly recommend this establishment.

We went to the Jennings Rooms for a meal on Wednesday lunchtime. Everyone went above and beyond with their service to look after us and were so welcoming and pleasant. My husband and daughter opted for the carvery and the quality was absolutely outstanding and you could really tell the time, effort and thought that has gone into the preparation of the food. The roasted parsnips were the best I have ever tasted. I am vegetarian and the chef/owner came from the kitchen to ask me what I would like as a vegetarian option with the carvery vegetables and gave me a choice which was ready in no time. The menu also has many choices that look so good. The homemade desserts were amazing and the lemon meringue melted in your mouth. We will definitely be visiting again very soon as they have just released a new menu and I can’t wait to try it.

Our first visit on Sunday and it was fantastic, the carvery was outstanding, my wife had a ribeye steak and claims it was better than Miler and Carter, the homemade onion loaf was incredible the standard of food coming out of the kitchen was exceptional but my favourite was the homemade brownie oh my, gooey and scrumptious. We as a couple can't wait to go back. Well done 10/10 for the food and service. Looking forward to watching one of the many shows you have booked.

High chair brought out immediately, fast drinks service followed by a superb Sunday lunch comprising choice of beef, pork, turkey and ham. Along with various potato choices and I couldn’t count the number of vegetable dishes. Different plate/price option available too. Excellent value.

Spoke to Rebecca a lot before the party and she was always very efficient and very helpful. Then on the evening of the party Emma was amazing even though she wasnt feeling the best. The buffet was incredible....good variety, delicious and presented beautifully. All of the staff were friendly and helpful as well and a good choice of drinks. Emma sang and there were a couple of greatest showman songs...WOW...her voice is just stunning!

Surprisingly this place is stunning inside, the outside wouldn’t give you this impression, although the building is nice it’s an old Victorian house and is listed so can’t be changed outside however what the owners have done inside is quite spectacular. Well worth a visit too, the food was fresh and piping hot and I can honestly say that it’s the best carvery I have e er had and on that we all agreed and there was 9 of us, great value and a fantastic choice on offer. I didn’t have room for dessert but several of my friends did and they all commented on how delicious they were, then to top it off on a Sunday afternoon they had put on a Motown show%%% brilliant just brilliant

Gave this place a try today and wow! Outstanding food and the staff were extremely attentive. Nothing was too much for them. The food was delicious I had, garlic mushrooms to start and they were scrumptious, not the usual breaded rubbish it was fresh mushrooms in a garlic batter with garlic mayonnaise, then I had the homemade lasagne and omg it was delicious, the chef even made a Parmesan crisp to sit over the top, beautifully presented too, fresh crisp salad and ciabatta garlic bread, I didn’t really have room for dessert but I had one anyway haha .. the homemade apple crumble with vanilla bean custard OMG! I loved it. Well done Team Jennings what a fabulous lunch menu and 3 courses for £9… unbelievable value and exceptional food. There were 4 of us and we all agreed that it was definitely the best food in the surrounding areas. We all really enjoyed it and have booked again for next week for 7 of us. .. looking forward to seeing the new menu in August

Their chips were homemade (just like mum used to make) their fish hand battered on site and the portion size were spot on . It’s an ABSOLUTE must to try their lunch menu

The food was excellent, great variety and super tasty - an exciting take on a regular buffet! The bar staff were super helpful with efficient table service and the venue itself is stunning. Emma, the chef and also the venue singer was incredible! Insanely talented and probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.

Went to go and try this place for lunch. Personally don’t recommend and wouldn’t rush back any time soon. The steak pie was a bought in gravy pie along with a frozen burger. The afternoon teas were okay but again was all bought in cream cakes just cut in half. For £15 per person I expect something a bit better. Got the impression very little effort is made in the kitchen and the prices are too high considering this! Service was really good though and friendly staff :) Won’t be returning I’m afraid

I continue to try different places for a Sunday lunch and always end up back at TJR. The food is fantastic. Always plenty of food to choose from and if it’s not quite ready, I’m more than happy to wait and have a fresh piping hot meal. This is the same with every carvery restaurant, food goes, fresh food comes out. So I’m not sure what the problem is. A selection of perfectly cooked meats accompanied with the best selection of vegetables, potatoes, homemade Yorkshire pudding etc... I can not fault it! The delivery service is going to be lethal for me!!!I have been for other meals here too, and always had a lovely experience.I hope you continue to grow in all that you do and your business continues to go from strength to strength!

Excellent food and service not overcrowded plenty of space and the carvery has always been outstanding. No queuing for the carvery you are called upon when it’s your turn.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! Say the least The room did not give ambience ... Walked in eventually the chef appeared Showed us where to go Disappointed at table decor nothing to welcome a new bride and Groom This was pre booked and was confirmed what the occasion was about and 6-8 people. so I would of catered for 8 people myself , but to be told by a professional chef I haven’t baked enough and have to cut the scones in half can stretch quiche I catered for 6 people , but they knew 7 where attending ???? We were all sitting chatting for ages no one attended to us there was no soft music playing we were just plonked . I went to the kitchen door to ask for some drinks tea and coffee we waited at least 15 minutes later chef walks in with tea pots and coffee jugs At £14.95 per person I expect food on the tea stands and replenished there was not enough food to go around I was so embarrassed as I wanted a very pleasant treat for everyone To justify bill of £120:00 there was no way enough food on our table (Seems they run out on the Sunday Calvary too on the reviews these people get )Will the chef note cutting food to stretch does not work and is very noticeable to people and people will not return due to your poor catering and management skills !!!

Disappointed was an understatement! Arrived promptly having booked the table for 4 people for 1.30pm the week before. It began so well as our drinks order was taken and then brought to the table. We were then asked if we were ready to order and we all said we’d like the carvery. The waitress then asked us to go and help ourselves in the room next door. There was barely anything to choose from. The cook rushed out to apologise and say that they had had some walk ins and so that’s why they were running low on food. We had booked! They knew we were coming! One of our party never even bothered to salvage enough food to try and eat. We’ve since read on FB that they had started to do a carvery delivery service that day. The cook never mentioned this to us! That would explain why there was no carvery left for us! In fairness we only paid a minimal amount because of the shambles but really shouldn’t have paid a penny. Such a shame but perhaps they are taking on more than they can actually cope with!

Booked a table for 1.30pm for Sunday carvery. Arrived, ordered drinks & 4 carveries. Was told to go straight up to get food. Unfortunately there were no roast potatoes ready, had to wait for Yorkshire puds to come out & mashed potatoes & rest of veg were nearly empty. Asked if these could be refilled, but was told they also weren’t quite ready! I don’t like mash, so had to eat my dinner without any potatoes. My husband didn’t even bother having a meal as there was not enough food ready for him to eat! They did bring some veg to the table, but this was not cooked enough & when it was finally ready, we’d finished eating. This is such a shame as what I did eat tasted lovely & home cooked, but you cannot take bookings & not have food ready. They did give us what we had for next to nothing in fairness but this is not the point. I would rather have been offered a free drink & been asked to wait until the carvery was fully restocked than be offered half a meal. Such a shame.

It’s hard to know where to start when writing this review because I’m not sure any words will do it justice!!! From start to finish the Jennings room was faultless!!! Amazing food - gluten free option fabulous which is often a stumbling block when going out with our friend at other places.. handmade bread etc was to die for. I asked to use some of my own crockery as we’d made things on our travels and Emma was amazing with this and used various items in various ways to carry our theme through. The venue was dressed impeccably, nothing was too much trouble when I asked to dress the tables for a personalised look, they were amazing and allowed us time to do so. The bar was well stocked and prices good, always a good point when planning a party. The staff were so good, nothing was too much trouble even tho they were a man/woman down on the night they were fast and efficient and friendly. The music and vocals were outstanding!!!! Emma has a voice that makes your hair stand on end, truly beautiful and her wit and humour keeps a party going, we started our party at 4:30 and finished at 12 and she did not falter!!! Behind every good woman is another great woman here and the pair just seem to get what makes a party a success!!!Everyone at our party asked for a repeat performance next year it was that good of a night!!! The Jennings room is a must see to appreciate the true beauty of what’s lies behind the door on high street!! There is also a garden area and this is a good breakout area for those needing it!! Amazing parking facilities too, but leave the car at home and make the most of the amazing Jennings room.

So many memories made on such a special night – 22nd June 2019. Thank you to Emma and Rebecca for making the process of booking and planning the menu so easy. The choices of food available was extensive, but we managed to whittle it down – including a veggie option. The presentation of the food, excellent. When we booked, the room wasn’t dressed, so upon arrival it was breath taking. The finite details of the music that complemented us and our guests allowed us all to all let our hair down and thoroughly enjoy our reception. Drinks flowed all night as a very reasonable price, and Emma’s vocal sets were flawless. Both Rebecca’s and Emma’s hard work has made the Jennings Room THE place to have your wedding reception, and we would like to thank you for giving us the place to make so many special memories.

The owners have now released the date of the opening night for the new evening restaurant No.33, and I for one am very excited to sample the menu, it sounds delicious. Personally I can’t wait to try the sea bass. It’s a little gem the restaurant room is stunning and I’m pleased to say we managed to book a table for the launch night.

This place is a hidden gem! A beautifully refurbished tea room and a magnificent and elegant function room... I was totally wow wow wow!! Then the food absolutely delicious, all fresh and homemade and the cakes well... I wanted a piece of each one a great and varied selection, I decided on the homemade sticky toffee pudding with cream and berries, the lemon cake looked delicious too, so much so I took two pieces home. Will most certainly visit this place again. Sunday carvery looks smashing too. Another point to make is the entertainment program they have lined up... X factor winner Sam Bailey Original lead singer of The Drifters Ray Lewis The Ragdolls Elvis Presley tribute Robbie Williams tribute and so much more Looking forward to the evening restaurant launch Menu looks rather fancy

Went for Sunday lunch at the new refurbished restaurant what a disappointing experience. Yorkshire pudding flat like a saucer, beef over cooked, none discrip mashed potato, veg totally undercooked, roast potato’s were cooked from frozen and it was nearly all cold due to the size of the self serving hatch not being large enough. On a positive note the gravy was hot.

We booked this for our friends baby shower and wasn’t disappointed. We are a rowdy bunch and we basically had the whole room to ourselves.We had afternoon tea and all our fussy dietary requirements In The group were met from veggies to gluten free.We had enough room to play games and laugh.There serve carvery here on a sunday so we were in a separate room which was perfect. Family run business from the lgbt community which I wish you would see more of in Swadlincote.Would recommend thanks guys.

Absolutely amazing New Year’s Eve party, fantastic fresh luxury buffet everything you could think of was on there, best cheese selection I have ever seen. Live entertainment that got the whole room involved, plenty of room for dancing. Thank you to all the staff at the Jennings rooms for all your hard work and for helping to make our evening one to remember.

This is a top place to visit, we have never been and had bad service or food. The owners make you feel comfortable and it is high quality food rather than the usual mass produced rubbish at other places. We have been for a snack, breakfasts, main meals, event nights, Mother’s Day lunch, entertainment and Carvery- and it has always been superb. They provide a lot of home made foods and cakes which is great. Keep up the good work! Thanks Clare and Daniel.

Just returned from an afternoon tea which I purchased for an extra present for my daughter’s birthday Very disappointed with the afternoon tea, the tea was cold, sandwiches were very small and sparse, the scones were so dry they crumbled when try to spread the butter. The only thing that was enjoyable was the cake which was quite moist and tasty although very thinly sliced. The surroundings were very much like a transport cafe with a smell of greasy food, we did think we would have been sat in the function room as per the photos on the web site. All in all this was a very disappointing experience.

Sunday lunch was delicious. Gluten free options were also available at no extra cost. My husband said the gluten free elements were just as good. Lovely breakfasts, snacks, cakes and main meals. This place serves everything! Lovely venue for casual daytime coffee or an evening out. This is also family driendly and breastfeeding friendly!

Had afternoon tea, all very fresh, delicious home baked cakes and scones. Really yummy used a voucher and so it was a real bargain and a real treat. Service great. Only criticism the chairs need upgrading they look like a bit too functional and not nice enough for a tea room and the outside could be made so much nicer, first impressions count, a few baskets and window boxes would make all the difference to entice people in. Once you get past the exterior it's really nice.

The Jennings Rooms Sunday carvery is. Highly recommended by all our customers. Delicious fresh and homemade.12:30-6pm. A fantastic selection of homemade desserts too from a simple syrup sponge and custard to handmade, filled chocolate spheres.Although busy we never lose the home cooked style and we will never over fill our dining area just to make more money. We also offer the main menu on a Sunday. We now have a lovely beer garden that has been built at the rear of the building but don’t worry we still have plenty of free customer parking Well worth a visit Booking is strongly advised Call 01283 348126

We only found this place by chance as we had missed breakfast in the accommodation we were staying at down the road and really fancied something to eat. We ordered the large mixed platter and we were not disappointed the food was fab. I was also observing how they put the cream teas together and the execution was impressive, so precise the attention to detail was great. The staff were fantastic, friendly, funny and so accommodating (extensive menu I will add at good prices) and nothing was too much trouble (he had the cocktail - which he loved)

The café is very basic in a lot of respects but clean and tidy. We were here for afternoon tea which was adequate enough. It consisted of a variety of finger sandwiches in brown and white bread with a couple of volovants, two pieces of cake and two scones with jam and cream. There is a choice of a pot of tea or coffee. Pleasant staff and worth a visit.

Went for an afternoon tea. Lovely food and very well presented. On looking at the menu, there is quite a varied choice from main meals to light snacks at reasonable prices. Restaurant area was light and airy and clean. At the time of writing this review, noted they have a 5 star award for food hygiene also. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They also have a function room for weddings and parties. There is ample free car parking at the rear and wheelchair access also. Well worth a visit - recommended, I'll certainly return, which in itself says a lot..

We called in here for coffee and cake on a normal Tuesday afternoon outing. Unfortunately we arrived at 1.45 and the notice informed us they closed at 2.30. We decided just to have a coffee to try out the place and move on to somewhere else. A warm welcome awaited us and were assured they would not throw us at 2.30 so we opted for the cake as well.Lovely cakes and great staff. We were shown the function room which is decked out like a posh marquee and the settings they use for functions. Very impressed with their drive and ambition. Good luck to them in the future. We will definitely go back

We decided as an anniversary treat to book a table at the Jennings rooms in Woodville! When we arrived we were met with very cheerful and happy staff, the food was exceptional! All fresh ! We had the carvery, the meats was so tasty I didn't want to spoil it with the horseradish sauce ! Which was also home made and very tasty ! We were table checked, and by the time we had finished we couldn't manage a dessert, so not wanting to miss out on a home made pudding we ordered two twirl cheese cake to take away, nothing is any trouble, the venue is spotless and clean, We would recommend this place very highly! We will be returning to try out the cream teas ! And more of that fabulous home made food !

I called in just before Christmas in search of some Turkish Delight. Yes they did have some but at a price that was a tad on the expensive side. When I said that it a bit steep, I was offered it at a good discount as "it is Christmas Eve". The quality was excellent and I will make a point of revisiting this place when I'm next in Melbourne

We chose here for a small gathering of colleagues/friends for a works Christmas party. We had the room upstairs which was the perfect size, gorgeous decor, comfy chairs. We could use an Alexa for background music and drinks available downstairs at the bar. We were able to order in pizzas for delivery which was great and a cheap option between us all. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A great night had by all
