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 !?

Great food and beer what's not to like. 5 stars.

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 boozer, and a real heart of the local community

Our Daughter and son in law celebrated their wedding at The Lion Hotel in Sept 2024. The day was absolutely beautiful, made extra special by Adam and the team. Nothing too much trouble! Can't fault the service and food great , tasty and portions ample. Would definitely recommend! Sam Dalton

Food wasn't great, and atmosphere had too much going on. Football was on which is fine, but then also it was pitch black with strobe lights and also music. All together atmosphere was wrong. Staff were friendly though.

Click and collect service always ready on time and the order correct. Excellent food every time, highly recommended.

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
