The best restaurants serving British food in Derby East Midlands

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Served with a smile. Excellent food and service. Everything was clean tidy and the staff was super efficient. Many thanks.

You get such a warm and friendly greeting from all the staff here, this has surely got to be one of the best places in and around Derby to enjoy one of their fresh salad boxes, sausage rolls, cakes or filled rolls, all at a very reasonable price.

My now wife and I had our wedding reception at DRFC. From start to finish Chris and his team at DRFC made things easy and we had the most fantastic reception at the club. We can't thank them enough. We highly recommend going for a pint or planning an event there.

Visited with my family for my birthday. Staff were lovely and very attentive. Callum and Matt looked after us as well as the others serving food and they were all lovely. We had a mixture of starters which were all beautiful. Camembert in particular was delicious, little recommendation to serve with some chutney rather than the oil but still 10/10! The Chateaubriand for main was stunning. I love the steak served on the stone. Callum and Matt also brought over a birthday board with a shot, lovely touch! Overall the food was amazing, staff were amazing and well worth the money. We will 100% be coming back :)

Amazing bottomless brunch, drinks flowing freely, can not fault the service by Harriet

I had mega breakfast, excellent food, nice and friendly staff, will be going back again

Brilliant pub great and very welcoming especially to disabled I have just started to get the confidence to get back out as moved back In 2018 due to domestic violence and I personally think that the pub every staff member was more than helpful and the customer welcomed us and I have multiple anxiety issues and bipolar copd and fibermalga its a massive problem to get out as I aways hide and I always get serious anxiety and its the first time in possibly 10 years nothing made me feel like I was not part of the community even though I have only attended the place 3 times since 2018 to now thanks best customer service ever and as my 15 year old says I am a Karen lol see you weds to get all my spare bits for you to get rid off I really felt welcomed Im going early this week need a table lol

Had a lovely time here. Some great staff, and some nice cocktails. The other patrons were also friendly so it was a good vibe.

Recommended by the staff in Pickfords house What a gem of a cafe. Food delicious. As were the drinks. Staff friendly and helpful High recommend

Fantastic little gem. Prices are good and the food even better! I would recommend having the big breakfast. The staff are really friendly and nice. All the food looks delicious.

A place to go for something different: local delicacies of pyclets and oatcakes served with flavoursome toppings. I had the "Canadian" (pyclets with bacon and maple syrup). The food is beautiful and the staff are welcoming. As of March 2024, it shares premises with "Derby Uncovered" which sells local food and non-food products, including pyclets to take away.

Lovely pub! Friendly staff! Very convenient location!! And the food smelled amazing! I am looking forward to my next return to sample the food 😋

Liz made my son a fabulous 21st birthday cake! Stunningly decorated and tasted absolutely delicious!

Second visit to this lovely small cafe and deli in the heart of Derby. Only a small range of a menu, which is positive as the dishes are all very nice, mainly sandwich, panini, salad and cakes as well as breakfast. Very delicious coffee. Very nice selection of cheese, quiche, pate and olives too.

We absolutely love the food in this restaurant. A great choice and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is good and you can go for a flutter on the tables if you wish.
