The best restaurants in East Midlands

We have been here a few times now, having only just discovered it and what a great find. The steaks are superb, I tried the fish and chips on our last visit which was equally as well cooked. The beer is also kept well, (we had doom bar). On top of that the staff have been both friendly and efficient on each occasion and for all these reasons I would highly recommend oh and the prices are very reasonable.

Came here for my partners birthday in December, was a little slow on service but despite that it was more than enough. Very welcoming.

Very poor customer service. Some staff not bothered

Went here last Saturday night with our friends and were seated upstairs. We have been here many times in the past. As usual food was tasty, drinks were lovely and service excellent.

This was our second trip to the restaurant and our expectations were generally met in almost every area. The onion soup was full of flavour. The chicken meal although nice was slightly underwhelming in taste. The 12 oz steak was an absolute highlight ( be warned it is a lot to consume along with the soup). The sticky toffee was nice and as it was my partner's birthday they done a nice job with the sparklers I provided. The resturant was quite full with others using the groupon options. It would have been nice to give my partner a complimentary birthday drink. The champagne in the glass when it was first bought was slightly flat and had to be returned which was slightly disappointing.

Came here to celebrate an early Christmas meal with friends. We were warmly greeted when we arrived. Our server was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. The food was delicious and came timely. We were sat at the glasshouse and it got a bit chilly at times despite the outdoor heaters but overall, it was an excellent dining experience and would definitely recommend. Thank you for the delightful evening.

Always great food and top notch service. What's not to love?! Definitely recommend.

First visit to The Bluebell and was very impressed. The pub was beautifully decorated. Good menu selection, prices very reasonable, food excellent. But most important of all what made our dining experience was our server Zak. He was very attentive and polite and excellent at his job.

Really good (as always). Recommend the teriyaki salmon.

Our favourite place to eat whenever we visit Derby - great food, amazing surroundings - a delight for all the senses

Very noisy pub with no curtains to absorb the sound, it's not the music noise but speech.

Amazing food!! Really tasty amazing all around from delivery to food. Would 100% be ordering again fantastic service

Great Cafe been coming for years, really enjoyed it, & was nice to sit in, out of the cold.

Great value and quality food. Rebecca was as attentive and efficient as she has always been for the last 16yrs. Maybe the surroundings are getting a bit tired and do require an update.

Yummy food ; staff were very helpful and went beyond our expectations. Very friendly and great. Customer services . Great food
