The best restaurants in Littleover Derby East Midlands

My husband & I have always loved our visits to our local Insomnia that has always been welcoming & a cheerful atmosphere as well as great drinks! Unfortunately on this occasion we were kept waiting while the server busied himself wiping down the shelf right in front of us, only stopping to tell us the café closes at 4pm Sunday times - it was only 15:05 No greeting, no smile as he asked what we wanted... I ordered hot chocolate & was told there was no cream... No apology or explanation... If I wasn't so desperate for a hot drink & a sit down, I'd have left the shop as I went to sit doen & waited for my husbandtobring our drinks.... One of the other servers came to clear a table next to ours so I took this opportunity to ask her if her colleague Partick was alright as I shared how unwelcoming he'd been towards us... We weren't expecting her response... "He's fine." No apology, just "he's fine" & rerurned to the serving area... Maybe the staff were having an 'off day', even though one of the servers was really kind towards my husband bless her as she took the time to explain why there wasn't any cream & hadn't been any all over the weekend... My husband’s coffee was fine & my hot chocolate was really really tasty, just wasn't hot enough so I was able to drink it in one go, so I ordered another & asked the lady who cleared the table next to us if it could be hotter this time as I explained how my previous one although very tasty wasn't that hot, again, no apology, just "so tou want it extra hit?"... Unfortunately although my drink was hotter, it lacked flavour so I didn't finish it. Not a good experience, but hey, like I said, maybe some of the staff were having a 'bad day'. Hopefully it'll be a better experience next time.

This is the nearest pub for me, we don’t go in anymore, but we called in just for a drink, I had a pint of Bass and to be honest it wasn’t very good, but it’s been the same now for years , that why we don’t bother anymore, the pub needs a refurb, and someone to take care of the drink they sell

Always serving up good quality food

Thank you for following the notes on my order. The subway was very nice and I will be ordering from you again when I’m next in Derby.

Horrible! So dirty they don’t clean and once I saw sick on the table. Staff walked past without acknowledging it!
