The best restaurants in Kilburn, Denby and Holbrook Amber Valley East Midlands

Lovely village pub, made to feel welcome and very pleasant staff.

Really enjoy there food . Spare ribs are lovely and meaty and food is always fresh. Love people and great neighbors. Would highly recommend the place

Went for breakfast at the tail end of the breakfast window . Waited 45 mins for food wich we ended up buying another drink. Do t mind waiting if the food is good and hot . Unfortunately this wasn't the case . Could see from where I sat the the food was being put onto plates out of pots that weren't even radiating any heat . And when was served at the table was only slightly warm . I like my food hot. Really sad as the price paid was more than the average breakfast price. Sausage wasn't to my liking I like more meat than bread ratio. Hash browns were of good quality although cold. Just really poor. I'm sorry I have to leave this review . I did notice the couple 2 in front of us in the queue complained of the wait and got a free coffee. We never even got an apology for the wait . In this instance it goes a long way . Such a lovely restaurant but the basic of hot 🔥 food missing.

The food was really nice and really warm when it finally arrived. We live 0.9 miles away from the restaurant and unfortunately it took 1 hour 50 minutes to deliver the food from placing the order which is poor by anyone’s standards. It was 40 minutes late from the time we were advised it would arrive. Food wise really nice, service wise quite poor. Will collect next time.

Burgers are bad the 4 people out ov 20 on our table had them all left them .bun was over cooked the meat was still moooin. What a waste ov money. Also over price . Mc Donald's would have been cheaper and better

So we were stopping here after visiting family in the area and we were on the way home. It was a very quiet afternoon. Some might not like that it's quiet but for us it was perfect. It's a bit strange inside as it's half-pub, half Travelodge but despite hesitations we found it t be perfect for what we wanted (i.e. a snack and rest after a long journey). We had the 3 plates deal (I think it was for £14-£15) and it was plentiful for the two of us. I can see why this is rated the no. 1 spot in the area.

We did the factory tour and after just had a cup of tea and a flapjack, which was delicious, very generous portions, too. The food in the restaurant looked, and smelt just as good.

Review of Afternoon Tea at Makeney Hall Hotel I recently had the opportunity to experience afternoon tea at Makeney Hall Hotel, and it was a mixed bag. While the historic setting and picturesque surroundings provided a charming backdrop, the overall experience fell short in several areas. As we arrived, we were not greeted by amember of staff for a few minutes, when she did arrive, she looked puzzled, she checked my name off the list, but was unsure as to where we would be seated. She left to find out, then returned to take us to a table that looked as though it had been quickly put together. The tablecloth, teacups and saucers were stained and the cuttlery had seen better days. The waitress asked if we would like tea or coffee, then came back with the teapot, left to fetch the milk and offered no sugar or sweetner. Surprisingly, there were no tea options available, with only a single type of tea served—and it was unfortunately lukewarm. The sandwiches were soggy, due to being placed next to a thick wedge of tomato and thickly sliced onion as garnish. The scones, which did not seem homemade or freshly baked, were served cold and lacked the desired fluffiness. The selection of pastries and cakes, while visually appealing, did not deliver on taste. There was a lady that repeatedly went in and out of the kitchen area, who looked very impatient. She was waiting for a baby shower table to leave so she could remove the decorations from a previous wedding, when asked the lady had said she didnt wirk at the hotel, only provided the decorations. She stood watching the large group of ladies with her arms folded, scowling and sighing several times. Not a good look for the hotel and its staff. Service was polite but slow, further impacting the overall enjoyment. For a hotel that prides itself on tradition, the afternoon tea offering at Makeney Hall Hotel needs significant improvement to justify future bookings.
