The best restaurants in Alfreton Amber Valley East Midlands

Called in yesterday for coffee and cake. I remembered the lady from being there last time. She was busy prepping for a birthday party but squeezed us in. The level of service she provides is off the scale, the best for miles around! She is SO lovely and friendly, and made everyone feel so welcome. I don't come to Alfreton that often, but would always have at least a coffee. She reminded me not to bother with anywhere else, when the Pottery is just the best.

We ordered from the restaurant in February 2022 as it has a reputation for being one of the best chinese takeaways in the area, and we weren't disappointed - the ribs were some of the best I've tasted and the kung pow chicken was served with generous pieces of chicken breast and lightly toasted cashews - delicious! The owner was friendly and we had a nice chat while I was waiting for my food. There's no online website or menu currently but it's worth a look if you're in the area!

Lovely staff, great entertainment, decent priced drinks and lovely atmosphere. Really nice stained glass throughout the building as well Bingo and pub quiz weekly, charity functions, live music. Great pub

The best fish and chips we've had for some time - well done and thanks

Best Indian restaurant in the area. Really authentic tasty food and good portions. Staff really friendly. There’s a reason this is the oldest Indian restaurant in Alfreton. Original and best.

I was taken here as a 'thank you' gesture by a neighbour. The cafe is small but there is still plenty of room to sit without feeling that other people are encroaching into your space. It had a cosy and friendly feel to it. The staff were really lovely and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We felt that they really wanted us to be comfortable and well looked after. The afternoon tea was served on a lovely wooden 2 tier tray affair and each item was dainty. The food was delicious and we were assured was all 'Made at No 18' - bar the bread which was bought from a reputable local company. We had a lovely afternoon in a cosy cafe eating and drinking high quality food and drink. This was MY first visit and I would happily return in the future. thank you and well done to all at 'Made at No. 18'.

service and staff are 10/10 plus the milkshakes are best i’ve ever had.

First visit last night the food was delicious and we will go again 😋

Was OK but it used to be excelle t value.

Really lovely food and a very homely atmosphere. Staff team genuinely attentive and straightforward with the service. Lamb saag was brilliant, as was the Dahl.

Nice atmosphere and great food. Service was prompt and always very attentive. Compete with one or two other restaurants nearby, but this is definitely the best one.

Our experience here on Sunday was exceptional from start to finish. We called in as were staying at the Travelodge on way home to Leeds from Alton Towers. The waitress was so friendly and made such an effort. All the food was faultless from the popodums and chutneys to the naanwich my sons (age 10.and 12) shared, the lamb keebab sizzler, curry recommended to my husband and the paneer curry i had. We all sampled a bit of everything and it was so fresh and delicious. It made a stop over night very memorable, we had never been to Alfreton before but agreed we'd be back for another curry one day!!! Thank you.

We went for take away and really enjoyed our meal. I'm not Cealiac but am wheat intolerant. I was prepared just to have chips, but the owner was very kind and cooked me a beautiful pan fried piece of fish in olive oil. It was absolutely delicious! The chips were also not greasy, and were also very, very tasty. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be going back. The owner was very welcoming too.

Best meal I have ever had love the chips

The food from here is always so fresh and tasty. The homemade cobs are the best and the pastries are delicious. Great friendly service too. Definitely my go to place. I would definitely recommend a visit.
