The best restaurants serving British food in Belper Central Amber Valley East Midlands

After being let down last minute for a birthday we called them to ask if it was possible to come and grab quite a few brownies from them, Dean went above and beyond to make some just for us, the brownies were better than we’ve ever tasted before, a variety of chocolate with different toppings that went down a treat. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using regularly.

The Farmhouse Kitchen is not the sort of place that will attract much casual passing trade; it is beautifully situated in a remote spot, a few miles west of Middleton in Teesdale, on a dead end road so, other than a few walkers looking for refreshments, the only clientele will be people who know it is there, and who are prepared to travel to it. Don’t let any of this put you off though, the meals are excellent and the portions generous. Sunday Lunch is strictly pre booking only, and choice limited to roast of the day, plus a vegetarian option. All food is home cooked, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our roast beef came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage and swede, followed by home made apple crumble and filter coffee or tea. For those who have not booked, or who do not want a traditional roast dinner, there is the choice of All Day Breakfast, or various options of pies, chips, gammon, sausages, chips and sandwiches, cakes etc. The service is friendly and efficient, and the location, in a converted farm building, is very comfortable and welcoming, situated in a very pretty valley with open views of fields and hills all around. We will be back soon! 2 things to bear in mind though: the opening times are limited to Saturday and Sunday only, Easter to October, and they do not accept card payment, which could be a problem when the nearest cash machine is 1/2 an hours drive away!

Didn't find . Different name !?

Good choice on menu, very tasty meal, amazing triple pie and mash! Great service and choice of cask ales on handpump, well decorated comfy pub

After having several ‘tasting menu’ experiences at various local restaurants this was by far the worst! Bright lights, no atmosphere, filthy carpet, no table linen, paper napkins, chipped crockery, dirty glasses, bland food, no-one bothered to explain courses or ask if they were enjoyed, limited wine choice and, to top it all, we were charged for something we didn’t have! Would not recommend at all, try The lighthouse at Boylestone for a proper tasting menu experience!

I visited the small cafe and what a wonderful place experienced a lovely meal and atmosphere. Service The service was very good your treated like a personal customer friendly and well informed. Food The food was well cooked hot and and I asked for my egg to be well done. The egg was superb so was the drink a really nice one. Where The cafe is in debradelei Mill near Morrison’s in Belper Derbyshire. it’s on the first floor and is accessible if you use the small lift not the large one. Staff will help if you need it.

Great atmosphere. At the moment (Feb 2025), they are waiting for a new chef, so food isn't being served from what I can gather, but I think that should change soon once someone is employed

Had an evening catch-up with friends at The Lion Hotel in Belper. There were five of us, and we sat in the covered internal courtyard. It took a little while to get menus, but once we did, the selection was fantastic—so much so that we struggled to decide what to order! We all had starters and mains, and the food was faultless. The haggis fritters from the specials menu were amazing, and my turkey schnitzel was cooked perfectly. Portion sizes were generous, and everyone was happy with their meals. Service was a bit slow at the start, but overall, the experience was great. Would definitely return!

Typical bar chain pub great for watching sports and a quick bite to eat, gets busy

My order was ready and waiting Thank you

visited today with a friend had chips and peas and the drink and it was reasonably priced. Food was cooked. loverly best fish and chips. I have had in a very very long time. will definitely be returning when we are in the area again well done

Revisited after glorious Christmas dining experience. Once again, the service, food and atmosphere were quite superb. Took my friend, a celebrity chef to sample their culinary delights. Both of us very happy with the halibut in a superb sauce. Great value for money. Impeccable service. A dining delight. Once again, many thanks from both of us. Looking forward to my next visit in October.

Came in with my son and next-door neighbour I had the steak pie and she had chips and fried bread we have both been really sick straight after leaving the restaurant will not be coming again
