The best restaurants in South West Parishes Amber Valley East Midlands

The staff were welcoming and friendly. However, the food was disappointing and whilst the pub is lovely the food was poor which is the second poor meal recently and we would only return now for drinks and not food. I ordered the lamb. It was a good cut of lamb but only 2 small slices accompanied by 3 small new potatoes cut in half and a bit of leek that was inedible. Overpriced and over salty. My partner ordered fish and chips but the batter was soggy. Luckily I was able to eat a few of his chips which helped to fill a gap and and needed a ham sandwich when I got home to feel like I'd eaten a meal. All in all, very disappointing for our anniversary meal :-(

Booked the Library room at ‘The Farmhouse’ at Mackworth for a ‘wake’ following funeral service at Markeaton Park. The room was ideal for the approx 40 people who attended. The finger buffet was really good value and very pleased with quality. The service and staff were excellent and room very well furnished. The Farmhouse has a lovely atmosphere about it and will no doubt visit for a drink and something to eat in the future.

Amazing family visit. Staff are welcoming and accommodating, large well laid out parking area. Interior is welcoming and spacious. We arrived between 3-5pm when only Pizza is available. We decided to hold out until after 5 and booked a Pod in the beer garden. They are ideal for groups (they have various sizes up to 14 persons) they're heated and with a service call button. Service was incredible, food good, Ales were limited but well kept and presented. The pods are ideal so the young children in the group didn't disturb anyone else and could have their space. We will definitely be back.

Brilliant place, so relaxed, hosts can't do enough for you.. my daughter's wedding was fantastic... Ideal venue...💐🍾👰🤵🥂xx

Two different menus rather confusing - picked up the wrong one and missed having lunch!!

I have eaten here many times and had a good experience however last night we tried to eat with some friends one of whom has some allergies (sesame and mustard) they were told point blank that they weren’t prepared to serve her any food. Not what you expect in 2024 So a heads up to anyone who has the ordeal of explaining there allergies each time they want a meal out . Don’t go here So we left. We went to Lorentes the Spanish tapas place instead who were fine and had a fabulous time, I’ll be writing their review next

Great hotel. Had many lovely stays here although it is now called Tyger Inn.

Excellent service and very pleased to see a dog free area , imho all eating out establishments should be assistance dogs only .

We have been coming to the Mundy arms for years since moving to the Derby area and We are all gutted to hear it's closing, especially since its the best we've know it in all the years we've been coming. The current staff are head and shoulders the best they've ever been. Service is exceptional, genuine friendly staff who aren't putting on faces, they are happy to be there and that is something that any pub would kill to have. We wish them all the best in the future. The only disappointing things is that we found out the pub was closing via email and Facebook the Friday 12th before they shut on the Sunday 14th. This seems very short notice for all involved. Thank you for everything Mundy Arms!

Very noisy. Dreadful chips. No staff asked if everything was OK. Sat for half an hour waiting for table to be cleared ,to maybe get offered dessert menu, but no, lady from the bar was to busy talking, leaving a gentleman waiting and us to pay our bill. Won't be returning!!!

We used to visit here regularly for lunch when we lived in Derby, but now we live in Suffolk and do not get up to Derby as often as we would like due to family issues. We visited here after an 18 month gap and found the Cafe to still be as good as it always was. Friendly helpful staff and the only place we have ever been where they always have several choices of Gluten free cake for my partner. (every where else, starts off with good G/F cake and on the next visit they have none) We have never been disappointed here. Maybe we should consider retiring back to Derby? We had a very enjoyable lunch, thank you.

I've been going to Rumbles since I moved into Glemsford around 2 years ago and it's always been a great experience. As others have said best to order in advance on Fridays and Saturdays as they do get busy. Also be prepared to undo your belt, the chip portion sizes are mahoosive. Personally never had a bad experience there and the staff are all friendly and happy.
