The best restaurants in Crich Amber Valley East Midlands

We called in during a walk. Sophie made us welcome & we were spoiled for food choice. Opted for the white Tuscan bean soup with a scone and a chicken focaccia sandwich, both delicious. Will try the scotch eggs next time. Such a pleasant place to visit on a walk. Highly recommend.

Staff is very friendly and helpful, food was great, perfectly cooked, the environment a bit tight for big people i’m a 6”2 lad and my hands covered the sink in the toilet splashing the water everywhere but i didn’t see it as an inconvenient…overall, great place to dine in

The foods actually really good and it’s got a lovely garden area, just the service needs sorting out as it was terrible. It wasn’t particularly busy but it really took a long time. We visited a few weeks later, only to have to wait even longer to be served and then after receiving drinks and and placing our food order was told it was a 1h wait for food, would of been nice to have been advised about the food wait times as we where seated or when placing our drinks order. Hopefully management turn it around soon.

What can I say about this lovely little bakery? The minute we walked in we were greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere. We were there with friends and family. We ordered our drinks and snacks which were promptly served. The coffee is very smooth and actually served in earthen ware cups, which keeps it warmer for longer. I ordered the date and walnut scone. Although it was close to closing time, the scone was still very fresh and absolutely delicious. I'm not one for butter or cream dressings, so I do like my scones naked. All I can say is, you need to try this place to believe it. I will be returning and would recommend in a heartbeat. We left with more goidies too. Please check it out, you won't regret it x

We discovered this restaurant as a pub closer to the cottage we were staying in was not able to open. Can only say what a discovery! Fantastic food, friendly atmosphere & exceptional staff. The meal was a good price as well for what we had. The food was, without doubt, some of the best Indian food I have had anywhere. the Raita was definitely the best one I've had. The curries we ordered were perfect, the meat was plentiful and tender and the sauces were superb. The Naans & Tandoori Roti were spot on. The staff were friendly, helpful and were smiling the whole evening. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make everyone feel special. My wife , mother and I all said we intend to return again in the future to repeat the experience. All in all, a restaurant worth making a trip to if you are in the area. If you don't try it, you are missing out on a great experience.

Simply the worst fish and chips I have ever purchased. I'll not say eat as I didn't get that far. They went in the bin. Arrived at tea time. Not busy. Ordered mini fish meal with curry. Told me the fish would be fried fresh. I didn't see the fish and chips being wrapped. I was stood outside the shop, collected my order and travelled the short distance home. My suspicions should have been aroused by the amount of oil that was seeping through the wrapping paper onto the mat on my van floor. On unwrapping, the fish was a burnt brown colour, soaking in oil with not a hint of crispness to the batter. The oil that was not soaked in the fish was the colour of, well I've seen cleaner oil come out of a gearbox. Chips were soggy, oily and again awful. All this for £11. I'm not sure but if you order the items individually it is cheaper. I'll not be checking as never going back.

Biggest portion we’ve ever been offered. Also superb quality. Best we’ve had outside our own home. Half a chicken , pork, cabbage, mashed and roast potatoes, root veg, yorkies, broccoli and cauliflower cheese and more gravy than I could swim in. Gravy definitely home made
