The best restaurants in Amber Valley East Midlands

Usually, rely on Tesco for a standard. Unfortunately, a quick nip into the cafe that wasn't. After paying we had time to find the cleanest dirty table to sit at, admire the next table which was a food explosion, drink our drinks, and for one of us to go round the store to do the shopping before the food order appeared. When it arrived, the food was served with a grunt & was disappointing, to say the least. It takes a rare talent to cook vegetarian sausages to a crunch. But given we'd waited around 35 minutes, it may not be so surprising. Expected cheap & cheerful Honestly, just no! Couldn't recommend it at all.

Mi familia y yo tuvimos una oferta groupon aquí. Al llegar todo parecía bien, nos presentó los menús sólo para descubrir que no eran ofreciendo lo que había en la oferta groupon. El primer plato llega, que parecía fantástico darnos muchas esperanzas para el resto de nuestra comida. El campo principal tomó 40 minutos si no más en llegar, por que hacía frío. El papa puré parecía smash, y todos nuestros platos principales se veía como la comida que te dan en un 3,99 todo lo que pueda comer restaurante. El cerdo pedimos, que no estaba en el menú, pero el groupon ofrecen, era insípido. no devolverlo, ya que no queríamos esperar otra hora para nuestra comida. Cuando pedir bebidas principales ups, la camarera se le olvidó nosotros así que esperamos otra media hora. Una comida de 2 platos tardaron 2 horas, lo que es una vergüenza. sólo había 4 mesa por lo tanto no había excusa. Entiendo que tenían un comedor separado; así que ellos no quieren clientes groupon cerca pagadores personas completos. No vayas aquí. No malgastes tu dinero. La comida nos dejó 2 de nosotros enferma. Estos chefs necesita formación adecuada, por lo que el personal.

I live fairly locally and we often call in for a pint when out on the mountain bikes - always a decent pint. I'd heard good things about the food, so I booked a table on Saturday evening for me and my wife. Upon arrival, I ordered a pint of Hazy Jane, and the barman served this in a Madri glass! I'm no snob, but you don't serve IPA in a lager glass!! I informed the lad that we had a table booked. He told us the table was in the tap room (we were not taken to the table, even though 2 waitresses were standing at the bar next to us. The tap room was busy, with people and dogs, not a problem as we are dog owners, but it would have been nice to be asked if we wanted to sit in there or in the restaurant. I would have thought I'd have been asked when booking 2 weeks ago, but hay-ho. After 10 mins, we had to get the attention of a waitress to ask for menu's (probably because we hadn't been seated?). The waitress then informed us that they didn't have the following: No Lasagne (but we have vegi). No pie's. No Sausages. No Fish. No pizza. No gammon. This reduced the options to either vegetarian dishes, chicken, or rump steak. It's a Saturday at 6:30pm - how can you run out of so many options / not manage to serve covers that have booked? We weren't the only one's sitting around this time, so they knew how many covers they had booked for the evening. There was nothing we wanted on the menu, so we decided to leave and go elsewhere. We are not fussy people, we really aren't. But this was so disappointing, and the service was also below expectations. I mean IPA in a lager glass!!! Not shown to the table!! This is basic, very basic, customer service. It's a shame, because we were looking forward to it. I'll still call in for a pint, and it's a lovely pub, but I won't book to eat there again, nor recommend to anyone else unfortunately. :-(

This was the best McDonalds we have been in for a long time.😋

Amazing food best been years never no issues alwys fresh pizzas best around

Glad to say the Poet and Castle is back on the map, Been twice now for Sunday lunch and both times it was very good.

I came in today with my family and my disabled son, a very unpleasant customer and made a complaint about my son stemming He was being loud but he wasn’t disturbing anybody. The manager that was on shift on the 23rd of January at 12 o’clock dealt with the situation amazing room and I cannot thank him enough for understanding he was about my son.

the gentleman that delivered was very polite

I normally sit downstairs but for the last couple of visits I have ventured up the stairs, what a great area to enjoy a drink/breakfast. Breakfast was well presented and tasty with the usual excellent service from the staff.

Would not let me order food and tried calling me fat so they would not let me order.

We visited Makeney Hall yday for afternoon tea for our friend Fiona's birthday treat. A lovely experience, all the food and prosseco served were of excellent quality. Tea & coffee was refilled as required, in fact nothing was too much trouble for the staff on duty. We sat by the window in the conservatory room, overlooking the grounds. Very relaxing, a perfect setting. We felt the afternoon tea was great value for money. We will definitely be visiting again for afternoon tea, a meal in the restaurant or for a Murder Mystery Evening. Special thanks to Kate who ensured Fiona celebrated her birthday in style 🥂, checked up on us all, adding a personal touch from the hotel. Outstanding customer service ! Well done Makeney Hall ! .

Lovely food. We are never disappointed when we get a takeaway from here. Highly recommend it. We love the curries and kebabs.

Food was bland, wouldnt have it from there again

Worst McDonald's in the world, takes forever. Waiting in the car park for 20 minutes for food and it was still freezing

A very poor effort. Ordered the bargain bucket. Only to receive 8 drumsticks & 2 thighs........again. A VERY POOR EFFORT INDEED. .....second visit........placed order through a 3rd party............only to be massively disappointed again..........yet another bag full of drumsticks.......definitely going elsewhere in future......don't bother replying.........blocked.......
