The best restaurants in North East Derbyshire East Midlands

We have recently discovered a gem of a place, tucked out of the way in Coal Aston near Dronfield. The Magic Sunflower is a plant based eatery, fronted by Julie and Mark. They are totally focussed on providing the best food with the best service and they have created a heart-warming and welcoming space. It genuinely feels that they care about each and every meal they serve. I have had a plant-based diet for over 30 years and this is the best restaurant I have eaten in. The mains are mainly salad based and there is usually a 'special', currently mac and cheese. The salads are all great, simply zinging with health. The food feels like you are nurturing and respecting your body with beautiful flavours. My partner who is vegetarian loves the tofu scramble which could be described as a plant based all day breakfast. It includes roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, garlicky spinach and small roast potatoes as well as the scrambled tofu. There are a number of bread and toast and flatbread options. The cakes are amazing and we notice that many of their customers linger for coffee and cake or take a cake home after their meal.

Amazing breakfast, ordered two full English breakfasts and one without eggs, very clearly cocked to order and tasted absolutely amazing. Well worth travelling for.

Visited Coffee Central on a recommendation from a friend and we loved it. The owners were welcoming and friendly, the background music was gentle and relaxing and the food was excellent. We both had the 3 egg omelette with ham, tomato and cheese which came with salad, coleslaw and crisps. The omelette was the best I've had for a long time and the salad was not just the usual garnish you get in most places but a full salad full of fresh and varied items. Food very well presented. The 2 lattes we had with the meal were a very nice blend of coffee as well. Thoroughly recommend.

Rude young female staff member serving drinks. Quick too inform us no food available and closing at 3 pm. Needs to learn better customer service skills.

This is a lovely room, set in tranquil and beautiful setting. The family that owned it were lovely and did whatever they could for us. The log fire was fantasic to sit next to as we ate a meal that competed with the 5 star buxton crescent we were at the night before. Breakfast in the morning was equally as good, the chef made me poached, scrambled and fried eggs (my request) all perfect. We felt well looked after and valued as customers. The decor/atmosphere in the pub was the only thing I thought could be improved but nothing that will prevent us from coming back again!

Lovely little pub in our local area. This was the first time we visited as it used to have a bad reputation but the new landlord has completely turned it around. Pool table, Clean, cheap, and dog friendly, what more could we ask for? Both our dogs got a treat to take home on their first visit too!

Really lovely tea shop. Food is always amazingly delicious especially the cakes and the selection of teas incredible, my personal favourite is the Pennine Picnic, highly recommend! Gail is always so friendly and welcoming and supportive of other local businesses.

Extremely friendly pub , everyone is so welcoming, always events coming up , landlady and staff are best I’ve come across for a long time , looking forward to bank holiday weekend, race night Friday, karaoke Saturday, bouncing castle all weekend, team events throughout the week, what an asset the boot and show has become to the village and all down to Zoe landlady

We went here for my daughters baby shower. Wow, what a venue for the occasion! Beautiful private room and the afternoon tea was fabulous. The staff couldn’t be any more accommodating, they really looked after us! Highly recommend!

Large variety to choose from very tasty friendly service

Went for some dinner with 3 grandkids (from 7 to 1 years old), Louis the chef went above and beyond to cater to all of us. The food was glorious and the kids and adult all really enjoyed the food.

This seems like a nice wee place with lovely people. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the fact that my food was handled at the same time as handling money, with no hand washing or sanitiser. Sadly my food went in the bin after I left.

Their ice cream is simply the best. This year I fell in love with Trifle flavour. One scoop of this and another of their prize winning strawberry ice cream...A heavenly combination. The difficulty of stopping and parking makes this shop awkward. The mobile vans are everywhere in summer and their machine made ice cream is really good too. We'll worth the effort to find it.

Lovely little Cafe everything made by the owner.Friendly atmosphere food lovely.Due to the size need to book gets busy.You can also buy pastries and bread to take away.Would recomend.
