The White Hart in Amber Valley

Served by a very helpful and competent young lady called Molly who reallocated a table and reheated a meal all very pleasantly

Excellent gastro-pub, pizza restaurant, and bar. Ideally located in the village. Some limited parking. Gardens, with outside dining area and terrace. Always a friendly welcome. Great venue and drinks list. Excellent food. Efficient and friendly service. Great to have real fires in the winter

Lovely pub in Duffield, great food including a Sunday Roast Carvery and proper Pizza oven. Real ale good. Great beer garden with outside bar in Summertime. Car Park at rear (remember to register your car inside pub) Would definitely recommend.

Really great atmosphere. We'll served real ale (dancing duck)

Great dining experience. Food was delicious.

Always enjoyable to us & good atmosphere. 👍🍁🍷🍷🍷

Great food, large selection for a Sunday lunch. Only downside, as we were a group of 8 had to prebook, not sure why? But the service was good and friendly, all the courses, were top quality, prices not too bad either

Now then pal, just returned home after a night out with the neighbours at the wonderful White Hart. The Duffleodians love this place and I can see why sunshine 🌞 Food was top notch tonight, went with the fish and chips and I must say the tartar sauce and mint mushy peas were absolutely devine and tasted exquisite it was a decent bit of fodder let me tell ya son! The atmosphere was very jubilant and jolly with people enjoying a Friday night natter catching up on the goss enjoying a pint or 2 of good old tommy taylor, ay ay ay ay 😉 Toilets were in good nick tonight 4 urinals and 1 trap which was occupied so couldn't check the condition out but urinals all in a good state so top marks there! Went with the pecan tart for pud, it came with ice cream and at £7 quid I thought was very expensive for what it was and tasted very bland. There was a funny whiff floating around most of the night and I couldn't work out whether someone kept passing wind 💩 or the drains were playing up? A mystery that went unsolved all night! Cash will always be king 🤴 in this country, keep it real folks and till next time take it easy you duffleodians a lovely night out x

Had friends visiting from the south of the country, and after touring the Peak District needed to find a pub/restaurant with a gluten free option. Upon investigation the White Hart fit the bill perfectly. On arrival the car park is accessed from a side road, and is quite compact, particularly on a busy evening. If using the car park you must enter your registration on the screen on arrival in the bar area. A good range of beers (Dancing Duck brewery), wines and spirits are available. There are dine-in, and beer garden/patio dining options. The patio area is covered, and has patio heaters. We dined outside (with heater on). The menu had a good variety of tempting dishes, and the gluten free member of our party was given a gluten free adapted menu which was a nice touch. The food was excellent, and the service very good and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was nice and balanced with a good feel to it. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a fantastic meal, perfect steaks any a lovely bottle of red wine too. Staff, Katelyn and Dhillon was very attentive and friendly

Very busy and noisy even on a Tuesday evening

My friends and I met for lunch last week, 5th September. We had a wonderful experience and the service was excellent. A big shout out to Maciej who looked after us. He was very professional and made our visit more enjoyable. Thank you Maciej you are a credit to the White Hart and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

I'm a regular at this local pub and restaurant with garden seating and bar area. - love it, excellent menu, great cooking, wonderful service.

We found the restaurant purely by driving past it and thought it looked like a nice place to eat. The food was found to be excellent and presented very well. A step up from your average pub food for sure. We will return here when next in the area. Well done!

Wonderful food, beautifully presented and well proportioned. Fantastic service. Such a nice atmosphere which manages to cater to everyone from friends meeting up for a meal to family dinners and celebrations to romantic meals. Loved the decor - wood panelling, stained glass, lovely! Can’t wait to come back for a date night ☺️ If it’s useful for anyone, I had the Roast Chicken main with a Caesar Salad side, and my partner the Pork Medallions. Absolutely delicious, even the side salad was properly good (decently dressed, not like so many pathetically dry afterthoughts I usually get served). For dessert we shared the Lemon Tart (wow!) served with Blackcurrant Sorbet (double wow from my partner).

Good pub. Very busy when we arrived, but service was swift. Would visit again.

Went for Sunday lunch as a walk in with partner. So firstly vegetarian carvery is same price but no alternative to meat . Secondly I told the chef I’m vegetarian I don’t want meat but did want Yorkshire pudding he then went to use the same utensil he had been using on meat !! If he’s working with food he should know the basic rules of cross contamination!! I was then giving a cold Yorkshire pudding from the kitchen . Food overall was ok but I felt a bit uncomfortable eating after he almost cross contaminated if I didn’t intervene .if that’s happening in front of diners what’s going on in the kitchen .

Went for the carvery, sorted as always and good value for money

Nice food, good selection of drinks helpful staff.

The White Hart is our local, which is great, as the food, drinks and service are excellent. Today I visited with my 91 year old father. He had a fall in the garden, and the staff were brilliant. Looking after him, checking whether he needed an ambulance etc. Caitlin was particularly attentive. She dialled 999, in case he needed an ambulance, fetched the first aid kit, and ensured he was fine. He was just a little shaken, but the attention certainly helped settle him down.

Went with friends.had the fish finger sandwich which is actually fish strips.the fries were hot the sandwich was cold.staff were friendly and efficient.

Great food and friendly service from all staff.

Only dropped in for a quick coffee, very good coffee it was to be fair. The dining area seemed quite busy for a Tuesday afternoon, this should be a sign of how good the eating out experience is at the White Heart Duffield.

Great food, great staff, good gluten free choice

Very comprehensive menu, in fact we were spoiled for choice. So pleased we booked as it was extremely busy for a Wednesday evening. Food arrived very quickly & was delicious & of a high quality. Good selection of drinks & staff were delightful & attentive. Pity we live 200 miles away!!!! Thank you

Fantastic experience with a brilliant outside area! Food is great and exactly what you want from a local pub - the atmosphere was warm and cosy. The pizza oven is a real bonus! Full of locals and visitors to the area alike, this pub ticks all the boxes be it for a family Sunday lunch or a few drinks in the garden after work! Lovely staff and most certainly will be back!

What a good service an helpfull staff..well worth a visit..

We booked the garden seating area for my daughters 21st Birthday party and we all had a ball! The staff took such good care of us, Caitlin and Dylan could not do more. A great day, in a lovely venue, with superb service, made the Birthday girl very happy. Highly Recommended.

Good atmosphere, lovely outdoor area, good service and great staff.

One the best steaks I've had in years, nice chips too. Starter nice, service good. Downer for me was no cider(run out of tap), and only a fruit choice in a bottle!!, do you think maybe that's a bit of a slim choice for a pub. Other thing was the noise, acoustics in the room and 2 large groups on tables meant we had trouble talking to each other.(Chair was hard too). But hey the food was excellent

A great place with delicious food and fast service. 😋

Absolutely amazing food, service was also very good. One of the best meals out we have had in a long time!

Visited this Sunday for a carvery, very rare to find carvery food this tasty, beef cooked to perfection and the pork very succulent, I am very fussy about vegetables but these could not be faulted, everything properly seasoned, gravy just beautiful. As for the members of staff, big applause to the management for having servers that are pleasant, unobtrusive, respectful and above all very helpful, big thanks to the lady that assisted our 90 year old aunty, fantastic visit, highly recommend

Very enjoyable visit.. food was good plus the staff are extremely polite and helpful. Reasonable selection of beers and larger. Busy place on a Friday or weekend, so expect a fair amount of noise around you.

Cracking local & friendly pub with quality; food, beer & staff. Huge shout out to both Imogen & Dylan, who always go beyond what's expected, delivering customer delight. Highly Recommend & an easy 5 Stars...

Got charged £60 for parking when staying for a single drink, maybe it was the entrance we came in but there was no notice of this. Purely money grabbing

Friday afternoon was busy and loud but this doesn’t surprise me as the quality of food is amazing. 🥄 The service is mega friendly, helpful and quick which is a great add-on to the wonderful, fresh and cozy environment. 🍕 Also, it was nice to be able to see pizzas coming out from the stone oven and how it’s made. 🔥 The fireplace was making my time in the White Hart relaxing.

Some food was good - eg: Caesar Salad and Ice Cream. But sadly not all.

Delicious food, helpful and kind staff who didn't judge at all even though my youngest daughter was quite loud and excitable (aged 3yrs). Thank you so much 😊

Great place to eat, shame when you.asknfor drinks no ice it gets missed , its attention to detail that make the difference. Good food. Worth 4.5 stars .shame you can't give that rating ...

Good pub with friendly staff and good beer

We booked a table for a Birthday meal Saturday afternoon. The staff are really good and very observant!! We had 5 lovely and different meals all served hot and together, a tricky thing to get right !! The waitress overheard us mention it was for a birthday treat and bought out a candle in a cake , as i said observant !! A nice thing to do. Great value, good food and service . We will be back

Great pub, lovely food, friendly staff

Went for lunch with 4 friends. It was very busy but we were served fairly quickly. The food was great.

Had a lovely meal for our youngest grandsons 12th Birthday, good food and service

Wow not often I haven't got one niggle.. if you've not been here yet your missing out. Food was second to non services was faultless and staff were very friendly we had a great experience. We would definitely come again. Thank you and well done 👏

Great food but slow service and very tight on the portion sizes.

Enjoyed my visit as the food was great and menu good. 😋

Always a great experience here. From the food to the service and atmosphere. Even when dining with a child- service is quick and courteous. Thanks Team 👍

Excellent food and service, I would recommend layers in winter as the fire can make the space very warm and cosy and you don't want to be caught out in a bit thick jumper!

Had a fantastic meal here last Monday evening to celebrate my Mums birthday. Food and staff are excellent. Dillian, Grace and Tim all Looked after us brilliantly. Will certainly be returning soon.

Friendly staff and excellent food. Good atmosphere.

Great party venue upstairs, excellent food , great staff 👍

The staff can get curt when the bar becomes busy.

Dog friendly. Service was quick and waitresses attentive. Food also very good for budget.

Good beers. Nice atmosphere. Didn’t rest in this occasion.

Excellent, timely service with great food.

This is where I take people when I want to impress them.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food and service excellent 👌

Lovely food with a great atmosphere.. and friendly staff, which I feel is very important

Recommend too all xx so busy, staff were so friendly xx Christmas vibes, loved the food and portions xx desert was heaven ❤️😝

Incredibly delicious food! Between us we ordered the cheese and onion pie, the steak and ale pie, the poblano pepper dish, the salmon and the turkey dinner. Everything was hot, delicious, beautifully cooked and presented. Perfect portion sizes. All our plates were empty! The desserts were amazing too. Extremely friendly staff. Great choices on the menu. Beautiful decorations. Loved everything and we had a wonderful time.

Great ambiance, food choice and food. Party of 4 for a Saturday evening meal. Nice friendly staff, efficient service and very tasty food. We will return

Great food and atmosphere with excellent staff

Took my daughter her for a family meal for her 16th birthday. Fantastic service, very attentive and friendly.

A beautiful small pub/restaurant with a fantastic range of great food and friendly service. The menu has a good range and all the food our table of 12 ordered was fantastic and quickly bought out together. The pub is very popular so booking is essential.

Visited for lunch on an early November very wet day....yet the pub was still pretty full and had a really nice atmosphere with a large log fire. Service was outstanding....one of our group had significant dietary preferences and the serving team did everything to accommodate them, even popping out to the local supermarket to get a particular milk type. How many places would offer to do that?? Food was excellent....spring roll starters were superb, beef pie top notch. Their coffee is also extremely good, we tried cappuccino, americano and pumpkin spiced latte, all better than you'd get in a good coffee shop. Well worth a visit.

Easy going and comfortable place with a warm welcome. Great food with a varied menu, well presented - both fish dishes were excellent. Nice garden out back that looks like it would be lovely in summer.

Consistently good food and great people!

A few staff members not at all attentive

Fantastic food, always busy and consistently good.

Lovely food, good service. Highly recommend.

Thank you Tui, Gracie and Katlynd for a wonderful lunch.

Our village pub. Great food, not cheap always busy. Staff excellent. You need too book.

Wonderful venue for a family celebration, fantastic range on the menu and all beautifully presented. Staff super helpful with allergies and a separate Gluten Free menu

Lovely staff and excellent service. Food was really nice at a sensible price. Book early as this is a popular place. 💯😀

First visit on a hot and sticky night that must have been a real challenge to work in yet there was no signs of this from the amazing and attentive staff. Food was with us quickly despite it being really busy. Really enjoyed my salad and looking forward to going back and trying some of the other options. A great evening, cheers!

Great place, great staff, great food. Great!

Excellent food and outstanding service highly recommended

Poor service from young inexperienced staff. Food quality has gone down hill. Will not be returning until things massively improve!

Really lovely pub, and we will certainly be visiting again. 😀

Pork medallions- burnt tiny pieces of pork, whole plate smothered in a sauce that just tasted of vinegar, inedible- informed waitress reply "oh OK"

Amazing food and service Would highly recommend Will definitely be going back

Lovely place to eat or just have a drink, I went with my daughter and my sister we had such a lovely time we were there almost 4 hours just eating and chatting. The food was delicious fresh and hot, very good menu plenty to choose from. The service was excellent very attentive staff, we will definitely return I would highly recommended this superb place.

A fine place to dine. Waiter goes above and beyond to keep you happy and feeling welcome

Nice pub and hotel, good beers and friendly.

Great service , nice atmosphere, food was all great quality . Dessert was a tad small for the price. The pie was really good and presented lovely ! Would recommend .

I recently visited the White Hart in Duffield and had an amazing culinary experience. The first course I enjoyed was the scallops with pancetta which were cooked to perfection and had a delightful flavour. The presentation was beautiful and the portion size was just right. For my main course I ordered the fillet steak and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly and had an exceptional flavour. It was accompanied with triple cooked chips which were cooked to perfection as well. The presentation was impressive and the portion size was just right. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly making me feel right at home. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Overall I had a fantastic dining experience at the White Hart in Duffield. The quality of the food the service, and the atmosphere surpassed all expectations. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful lunch or dinner

Fantastic customer service, great food, great prices

A great pub, food is amazing, the team working here were absolutely brilliant Can't wait to visit again

Went in for a cup of tea, lovely surprise with warm welcome. After a cheeky request to sit next to a window, was seated within seconds. Tea was bought to our table. Menu was inviting, so we ordered a couple of starters, just for nibbles. The food was piping hot, and delicious. We asked for water, which was delivered in an ice cold bottle, crystal clear. Very impressed with the service and the food. Only on a day out, but could easily be a local if we lived in the village

Popped in for drink the other week, the pub has changed so much over the years

I met an old friend for a lovely alfresco lunch a few weeks ago here and we had fab service from a young waiter called Max. He could not have been more friendly or attentive to us and the rest of the customers around us who he was also serving! Thank you.

The first time we have eaten there, but not the last. The slow cooked beef and ale pie was one of the best I have ever had. The service was equally as excellent. My only minor gripe would be the Timothy Taylor's beer was very warm.

Stayed a couple nights in Duffield & come across the White Hart , this is most definitely the place to go ! A mix of all ages & pet friendly & a great atmosphere. The food is an an another level , perfect portion size along with absolute quality produce. As the weather was great we opted for the beer garden the food arrived piping hot and served by the most pleasant & professional staff . So good , we headed straight back the next evening. The outside bar staff were brilliant ! No doubt were the staff inside too , so I hope the manager reads this & appreciates what a difference they make to the business & tells them so. This is most definitely the go to place in. Duffield. Well done .

Fantastic food . Very professional and polite staff . Highly recommend .😍😍

Lovely place with a fantastic outdoor area

I was searching for a new place to eat. After googling the top places in Derby, ‘The White Hart’ was an option. We’ll speak about the good bits first. The Menu was very appealing and attractive with some great prices too, so we booked a table. Initially it stated we’d get a table inside but we desired to have one outside due to the weather. We made a note for an outside table if available. There is designated parking for customers only which is free. The interior decor is beautiful creating a warm, welcoming ambiance. The Tables are spaced out enough to give customers their privacy. We were then sat outside in the garden under a pergola. The Pergola garden area is beautiful. Designed beautifully for family’s and friends in partitioned areas for you and your party. There is a bar outside too. They offer table service or you can order at the bar. We ordered our food - Pan Fried Sea Bass and Kerala Fish Curry. It was divine! Absolutely beautiful! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and service was ‘almost’ faultless! I’d definitely recommend the Fish Curry. There’s not many places that can get this right, but ‘The White Hart’ got it spot on!!! We weren’t waiting too long for food either which was great. The staff attended to us and made sure we were alright or if we needed anything. Thank you for a lovely ‘White Hart heart 🤍’ experience. 💫 Oh… The Bad bits… There are none. 😉

Beware of the car park. £100 fine for using their car park

Very nice food. Quick and efficient service and dog friendly.
