The kings head in Amber Valley

Always consistently good food and service. My wife and I called in late afternoon for a drink and early dinner. Knew exactly what we wanted and it was served just as expected. Not often I leave a restaurant really satisfied but I always do at the KH. Always a nice buzz about the place too. Lucky to have it within walking distance.

my self and a group of friends visited for a change handy considering the bus passes from belper to derby easy place to get off at , fabulous place for a drink food looked super to enjoyable up to the point were a very big intimidating man obviously a staff member or could be the land lord for all we know spoke to other staff members in a very intimidating way no one goes to work to be sworn at the ladies in the group were horrified we drunk up and went to bradmans down the road totally different experience . shame we wont return . this person obviously has anger problems .

Always consistent :-) Love visiting the Kings Head, we took friends last Sunday for lunch. Everyone enjoyed their food and as usual there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. We visited for my birthday in January where I forgot to leave a review and had a fantastic Saturday night in the restaurant. We had loads of food and it was all really good. Very lucky to have somewhere like this in the village.

Got a good name for Italian food. Didn't visit.

Amazing food but very disappointed to find that it is not possible to leave a tip for the staff unless it is cash. Management need to change this as it is a shocking practice and does not reward great service

Had a fabulous evening at the weekend with 5 friends. The place was buzzing with live music and the staff were great. We also had a meal in Angelos which was perfect as always. Thank you

The Kings Head Staff were absolutely spot on..Very professional and courteous..My beer which I always have in there must have been nearing the Barrel End .They never argued and changed it immediately...So refreshing to see such brilliant Staff..♥️♥️

Everything is 5 star here. Had their bottomless lunch and was not disappointed. Staff very attentive

Angelo's is just about the best place to eat in Derbyshire

Great food and drinks. Thanks so much to Ryan and Meena. Brill service and great atmosphere. Def our favourite pub

Went for a very last minute Sunday lunch. Excellent roast beef dinner. Portion sizes plenty and given how costs have rocketed for restaurants, the price was very reasonable. Service was also very good.

Went for Sunday lunch, loads of food & top quality. Very attentive waitresses, will definitely be going back

Bistro food and service 1st class. The acoustics made it a little to noisy for my liking. Will definitely visit again at a quieter time.

Very good authentic Italian restaurant. Wines from the central region of Italy. We used to go to the cantina's when we lived out there.

Nice pub and beer, but can get a bit noisy.

Had a bottomless lunch at Angelo's absolutely fantastic xx

Food top class with very good staff,house red and cocktails top marks for all, for me it not the best pint of bass had a lot better, say that will would highly recommend going to all

Had the carbonara, my favourite dish of all time and was incredibly disappointed. It was absolutely swimming in oil, never seen something so bad. The taste made me feel sick, tasted like dirty oil and the sauce had separated. Someone else I was with had the carbonara too and there's didn't have the oil issue like mine however they did spend the next 24-48 hours with food poisoning and now the sight of carbonara makes them ill. As also one of the most expensive carbonaras I've had (and I've had them in italy too) it was also the most disappointing after hearing such great things about Angelos. Also the price of a blackcurrant soda was extortionate.

Absolutely amazing. Booked here for a 70th on a recommendation and it couldn't have been better. The food was brilliant and the staff where great too. We will be back.

Excellent dinner last night. Really enjoyed the food. Will go again.

Excellent meal, excellent staff ( Tuesday afternoon 5th July )

Angelo's is simply the best Wonderfull atmosphere Lovely staff Great Italian food 😋

Really nice food, need to book. Clean environment. Good staff

Gorgeous food, friendly staff very helpful will definitely be going back soon 😀

Great meal service and a lovely pint of Bass or 2

Meals are excellent can recommend a visit

Angelo's Italiam absolutely wonderful. Excellent staff, brilliant food.

Excellent food, hot and fresh, attentive, friendly and polite staff, you feel well looked after. Would recommend and will visit again!

Amazing place 1st class food & friendly staff

Well worth a visit fantastic food

Ate in Angelo's bistro. Excellent in every way

My local pub and have been coming here for years! Been recently done up and is now an amazing standard! Always full on Friday and Saturday evenings with great atmosphere!

Busy with good food (italian style) and good service. Best to book in advance.

Great atmosphere, great service, fantastic food. Got to be the friendliest place in Derbyshire. Loved it!

Absolutely fantastic for atmosphere , gluten free food choices, spoilt . Owner working hard to help to make sure all going smoothly, will go again soon .

Very good all round service and suroundings inside, we shall go again soon. It was about half full on a Sunday night. A first visit today despite being local.

Lovely meal at Angelo's - Prawn cocktail and pork risotto

Good pub. Busy on weekends but great staff!

Angelo's at the king's head, delicious linguine marinara!!! Excellent service and not too crowded at lunchtime

Lovely night out for a meal with the girls. Food was great and plenty of it. Staff were very good and very friendly. In the bar and in the restaurant.

Excellent food, lovely atmosphere.

Had an amazing afternoon in the pub and then a meal..we can't fault it..the staff are so attentive and nothing is too much trouble 😀.. The meal was outstanding so tasty..would highly recommend it Thanks see you soon!!

Unreal food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely be regulars

Landlord and landlady are incredibly kind, friendly, and excellent people. They could not do enough to help when my daughter and I had to make an unexpected unscheduled stop here.

Great bar, great service. Beer on form.

Well organised and friendly atmosphere

Very busy and didn't feel safe regarding covid rules and regs. Too many tables and people allowed in. Staff were plentiful but followed no social distancing with each other or customers

Fantastic night. Even a taxi service at the door. Perfect.

Its ok. Not a great selection of beer and can get quite rowdy.

Visited with family on 28th Dec. Little bit quieter than any other Sat. Great atmosphere, relaxing and friendly. Always well staffed and attentive. Proper local a credit to Ryan and his team

Superb food and really friendly staff good atmosphere

Friends took us and 2 other couples here to celebrate their birthdays. Food amazing restaurant amazing. Atmosphere amazing. A deffinate go back to place. Bit pricey but you pay for good quality

Good service, nice choice of beers in a pleasant place. Just so very loud! Friday night though.

The food was good but it was very busy and very noisy. I couldn't hear what my friends were saying. I would not go again.

Just moved into the area and we thought we'd head into Duffield for a Saturday night drink. The Kings Head was the first we came across, so in we go! Neither my wife and I quite new what to make of it, I gather its recently been refurbished it seemed some what austere and it wasn't overly busy and lacked atmosphere. We can't put our finger on what was really missing, but I don't think it'll be a regular haunt.

Called on speck to Angelos resturant which is separate from the pub.excellent resturant with classic Italian food.

Good quality food in Angelo's bistro busy on a Wednesday evening service very efficient recommended

Very nice food and good service.

Friendly staff and good Real Ale

Great atmosphere. Lovely resturant

Visited the pub several times now and the staff are great, the atmosphere is great, the décor is fab and the pub is well run. The 'piece de resistance' is having a great restaurant attached. 10/10 for me !

They’ve done such an amazing job refurbishing the pub! A much more modern and friendly environment, so many drinks choices including cocktails! Been a few times with friends and family and there’s always a friendly face whenever you walk in including the bar staff who are always on it and you’re never left waiting when it’s busy which is especially a massive bug bare for me! We went to the restaurant (reubens) the other day and the food was great! Couldn’t recommend the place enough it’s ‘A PROPER LOCAL’ great work guys keep it up!

2nd in the quiz last night so bubbly in the fridge instead of cash in our pockets. Great night though. Happy Frank holiday. COYR!

Excellently refurbished Pub. Good choice of craft beers & Gins, Angelo's bistro serves excellent home cooked Italian food, friendly & helpful staff, Ryan & his team make this a great place. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What a transformation with the latest refurbishment this is now a "trendy" pub to have a couple of pints in, the Kings has risen from the ashes.

Thought I'd go to a pub with some friends who I hadn't seen in a while due to University and such other things. It all started well, overlooking the relatively dear price tag on each beer, until the bar lady started being incredibly rude to us regarding some torn up coasters. Granted, it was an inconvenience to her and we apologised accordingly for the mess. This was, until, some fat, drunk-ed (seemingly local) started 'mouthing off' to us. We brushed him off being as we didn't want to let the incident spoil our evening. We continued to chat, before once again, this train wreck of a man persisted on ruining our night. He told us that if we didn't have a drink (which we'd just finished) we'd have to leave for taking up spaces in this vacant PUBLIC HOUSE. At this point we'd simply had enough and called it a night. Awful Landlord. Awful Staff. Awful Pub. A 1 star rating is simply not low enough. EDIT: Been back recently under new management, lovely establishment.

Great atmosphere, the refurbishment & decor is to a high level but you still feel comfortable here

The best place to drink relax and meet friend old and new. Good music and staff.

Had a nice drink and coffee. Dog friendly. They even let us eat sandwiches bought from the local Bakers shop

First visit for 20 years! Lovely friendly barmaid and wot a good transformation- cant wait for Angelos to open- i'll be back soon

Fab pub! Well worth a visit. Varied clientele which is good. Well done Ryan and team

Under new management. This pub is going from strength to strength. It always has a great atmosphere with plenty of varied people there. Staff are all friendly and drinks are well kept. Recommended for a night out or even a stop gap between other places.

Heard good things about the burgers at reubens but unfortunately didn't live up to it. Took an hour for food to all come out and half the table had finished before the other half had received their food. Waitress was snappy when asked if there was cheese on the chips because there was not much at all on them. Was hoping for a crispy SFC burger but was soggy by the time it came.The other Waitress did apologise due to grill issues but if told at the start, wouldn't have been as bad.The pub itself has a great atmosphere and busy. Probably best to go for a burger as a small group instead.

Visited here recently, new refurb and under new management and what a great pub. Also visited Reuben’s burger and bar which is now situated in the adjoining restaurant. Great food and friendly staff. Will definitely be returning

I have been to Reubens a couple of times since it opened, once for a party and once for food with my child and other families. The refurb of the old barn looks great but more importantly the food was fanastic. Great burgers which both the adults and children enjoyed and as a veggie, it is great to have a choice of several veggie options from halloumi to beetroot burgers. Would highly recommend.

Always seems busy these days. Drinks are fine, though mine was dearer than the Town St.Tap a couple of doors away. Have never eaten there, so gave 'average' 3 circles. Far better under current management than formerly.

A great pub, recently reopened with a new owner and has recently started doing food. We’ve eaten here twice now and the burgers are amazing (they are supplied by the local butcher, unlike other nearby eateries which rely on whatever’s cheapest at the cash & carry). Good value for kids at approx £5 per burger (£10-£12 for adults) and served with really tasty chips. The homemade slaw is fantastic. You will get a really warm welcome from the landlord who goes out of his way to look after his customers, valuing the trade from the regulars. The recent refurb, including that of the old barn (now Reuben’s burger restaurant) has been beautifully done. Yes, the average age of the crowd is slightly younger than you might find nearby, but it’s nothing like the youth club it was under previous ownership, and the wider demographic makes for an eclectic mix of characters. A proper local indeed!

Watched the match here great atmosphere

Reubens 👌 burgers are too notch, and I've eaten some burgers 😂😂

As ever great welcome from the Ryan and his hand-picked staff! Burgers absolutely scrummy. Spice burger my firm fave. Coleslaw is truly the best. I dont drink alcohol but if I did Brockmans and tonic would be the one!

Brilliant place,well done ryan and his team. So glad it reopened x

It's ok, not a country village pub, not a trendy bar, kind of, somewhere in between.

Lovely pub amazing staff and every good drinks alcoholic and non alcoholic

Popped in to see how the refurb had gone. It’s been opened up in to the old kitchen area to extend the upper level. It was a Friday night around 10pm and it was heaving with young (18-24 in the main) folk sat in tight groups around the tables.

Love it here!!! Cool bar, good drinks and well nice staff. Go in and see the refurb, perfect pub with a really nice atmosphere

Brilliant pub brilliant staff brilliant beer the land is top lad

A great job done on modernising the pub. Much needed and a welcome addition to the dull Duffield scene.

Interior fitted out like IKEA on a bad day an absolute shambles for a well known established iconic old pub!!!! Shame on the interior designer! Done cheap and nasty tasteless just like the beer on offer!

Popular pub with regullar cliantel Food indifferent but good pub atmosphere. On main road with good parking

I'd planned to attend the gin bar with my family for a relatives' birthday treat. Not knowing what the set up was, I called and was told there was no need to book, the person I spoke to didn't sound very clued up so I decided to nip in when next driving past. The gin bar looked lovely and they said again no need to book, I told them of my plans to return on the following Saturday. When I attended the following week, the signage outside was advertising the gin bar but we found the gin bar had been booked out for a private party all night. I went up to the main bar to query this with the barman, and explain my disappointment. He wasn't interested, didn't offer any apology and decided to ignore me and began to serve the person next to me. It was a complete waste of time and £20 in taxi fares!!! Very poor customer service and seems disorganised.

The new gin bar is beautiful. It’s in the cellar so you can either go through the main pub and down the stairs or nip round the back where there is another entrance. Coming in from the back, left hand cellar = gin; right hand cellar = wine/cocktail bar. There is a fabulous range of gin with Fever Tree and a range of accoutrements. It’s not cheap but it is lovely down there.

Have not been here when it's been busy but on the odd occasion that I've called in for a pint the selection has been reasonable and the atmosphere decent enough. Doesn't seem to be as "trendy" with the mummy mafia as some of Duffield's other haunts which may explain the lack of reviews.....

all people very nice shouldnt listen to the comments people say very nice resonable prices locals very nice people worth going
