The best restaurants in Amber Valley East Midlands

Food was nice bar tender was nice however the big woman who collects plates needs to be gone no dress code for public house, verbal abuse of her for sharing a kiss with my partner after a meal as he moved his chair we couldn't sit on any other seats as the radiator was on full blast hence why we sat at the end she came over wearing leggings black puffa waste coat handbag around her fluffy boots, we assumed a customer oh and we was only 3rd set of customer in that night she abused my partner then lied on social media review making out we abused her if CCTV was looked and audio it would show her I did not speak once and she verbally attacked us we will never eat here and after reading various reviews the pub doesn't respond well to bad reviews,

We went in on a Thursday... It was quiet but generally a decent pub. I imagine it has a good atmosphere on a busy night.

Excellent customer service thank you

Mouldy food and silly wait times, not to mention the cold food and yesterday’s diner meat. Don’t waste your money.

Don't be fooled by the dog friendly tag on the board at the front. With the minimum of at least water for a dog unfortunately there is no sign of. Coupled with sharp flint on the floor means any dog not comfortable. Call me picky but Bank Holiday would see most of the pumps available. Sadly the opposite applies here. Most pumps have a sad glass covering them indicating "that ones off". Could be really nice with a little thought. Better pubs closer that are actually dog friendly & you stand a chance of actually drinking a beer that you want.

lovely food and great experience will definitely buy again

Food was awful, the fish tasted like charcoal but was gooey inside it really wasn’t good. Kids meals were burnt, staff were really rude especially the 2 blonde members of staff. Stood complaining about the fact we complained right infront of us. I’ve never visited anywhere where the staff have been so rude I definitely would avoid. Steaks were ok if you don’t mind a bit of jaw ache after visiting, coleslaw smelt off and tasted even worse. Safe to say we didn’t stay for puddings. Staff took no responsibility for the awful food!

Nice beers on tap. Been coming to this pub for 20 odd years and the beers now are some of the best it's had.

Great pub, went on a Saturday, disco and karaoke. Drinks are very reasonably priced and everyone is friendly.

Called in after watching the fireworks. Very disorganised. Long wait then they messed up our order. Average chips and tasteless peas. Wouldn’t recommend.

Nice food & quick service,been here three times as son lives in the area. Always been good 👍

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.

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.

Ordered at 6.50 told it would be 30/45 minutes and still no food at 8.10 phoned to ask they tell us he left 15 minutes ago and won’t be long, phoned again at 8.30 to be told he’s had to take another order because he couldn’t find our address 😅. Food arrives at 8.45 COLD and not an even what we ordered! phoned again to tell them we want our money and the driver to collect the food (and his just eat bag that he left at our front door😂) very rude young girl on the phone being cheeky lying telling us she packed the food and knows it’s right! Never in my life experienced something so bad. Disgusting!

This used to be great, but the recipe seems to have changed over time. Im devastated.
