The best restaurants in Allestree Derby East Midlands

The White Elephant Kitchen did a pop-up at the Shiny Tap, we had the best of everything, good ale and good food, what more do you want on a Friday evening.

It's good to be back from holiday. First class fish and chips 😋

Save The Children staff night out , it was an absolutely brilliant atmosphere lovely food and was made very welcome by the great staff! Great entertainment , we danced the night away ! Many thanks

Lovely place, liked the garden centre, nice to stop for a coffee, busy and popular, plenty of friendly staff.

Lucky to get a parking space, but brilliant cafe.

I had a fabulous introduction to Birds Cafe in Allestree. I visited the cafe this morning for breakfast with my daughter whilst I waited for my dog to be groomed at The Hound Hut around the corner. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter's needs. They were so thoughtful and nothing was too much, even when some of my requests weren't on the menu. Thank you for such a pleasant experience - we'll definitely be back. The food was great too and the breakfast tea. The cafe is really nice inside, clean and modern with a great selection of bakery products and lots of seating available. There's always a small queue which is a good sign! Parking is ample within a minutes walk, and the doors are big enough to fit a a large pram/wheelchair through. Plus, it's dog friendly too!

Superb little place to grab a cuppa and bite,dog friendly with treats. Clean and very reasonable prices. If the Eggy bread is on, get that, really enjoyable. Staff very pleasant. Worth a little bit of an extra walk out of Markeaton.

We popped in today after a walk around the nearby park for Mother’s Day. The selection is only ‘to go’ due to ongoing pandemic but food - all freshly prepared to order - was well priced and delicious. No complaints. It would be nice to come back and eat in once life returns to normal.

Decent place and good beers. I found the short haired bar staff sound (doing all the work) but the long haired bar supervisor was unprofessional. She engaged in conversations with regulars about the owner. For example, she spoke about earning a pound more than minimum wage, said the owner smiles but it’s fake and that the owner is thinking about relocating but she need to have a conversation with them about it. She criticised process and also said the owner accursed her of not admitting to their mistakes and of not doing enough and won’t answer her text messages. There was no acceptance of any responsibility. She came across a corrosive force who is out for herself and not a team player or sharing in the vision of the business. She spoke frequently about how hard she works but did absolutely no work in the 1.5 hours that we were there. There were more than 20 people sitting in the bar and hers was the loudest voice. Overall, she seemed very unhappy with the leadership of the business which left a sour taste and in my opinion, this undermines a decent business. P.s - I am a small business owner (brewery and 3 pubs) and I know what a good business looks like and what is needed to make it a success. The criticism she is venting to the customers is unjust. This is a decent business. This level of unprofessionalism will quickly take a business down.

We came to you on Christmas Day. We got there earlier than booked in, due to our circumstances and we were happy to grab a drink and wait at the bar. OMG... what an amazing Christmas Day this was. Our food was amazing and out of this world! Well done to the staff, nothing was too much trouble. And..... Christmas Pudding to complete our day. A BIG thank you to the Royal Raj for making our Christmas Day A....ma....zing!

Just a typical local sports bar.

Went for a 80th birthday party and the staff were so nice felt relaxed. We had never been before but they will see us again. We'll done all.

Your burgers are rubbish, poor quality and taste.

There was food under yhe heater keeping warm but I was in not long after opening so yesterday's. 4 year collie wouldn't even eat the fish so I know it's turning.. never go back no wonder shops r loosing custif that's what There dishing out

What we ordered was completely different from what was delivered. Have had dinner from here before but this time completely wrong. Shame as they were my favourite local.
