The best restaurants serving British food in Arboretum 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.

Can't comment on the food as we went for beer! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The service was also really quick considering how busy it was the evening we went in.

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 :)

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

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.

Excellent service. Great value. Food looked and tasted amazing. Great outdoor space at rear and a large car park. Lots of TVs throughout the pub for sport and music. Pool table. Great location in city centre but not right in the centre of it all so perfect. Close to train station, shopping centre and a short walk to the bus station and taxi rank.

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.

I called in to collect a family member from a regular activity ran by one of the fantastic groups operating from the Derby Dance Centre. Ahead of my schedule, hungry, I took the opportunity to branch away from the homemade cake faire and coffee and order from the simple but extensive memory. I haven't eaten a fish finger sandwich for decades, but the thought of acid tartare sauce, vinegared chips swayed the choice in this direction. Without a real clue about what was to be presented from the chalkboard, I ordered at the counter, quickly served and was served at the clean table! A delicious bloomer sandwich, buttered tatare, crispy salad filling to flavour wrap the 3 fat fish fingers, rocket salad garnish and skin on fries. It was delicious, filling and great value for money at £6.50 having been made to order. A large flat white at £3 complimented the lunch. Lovely staff keep this venue bubbling along with intelligent conversation and a personal responsibility invested in the Dedá dynamic.

Disgusting business owners. Never pay what they owe. Absolute thieves that shouldn’t be allowed to be in business in Derby.

Coffee and food is always good, nice cakes too. Only reason for a 4 star is it's a touch on the expensive side to make it my 'go to' coffee place.

Fab night out, music plays inside and outside, seating outside a great idea.

Always a fun few pints in here; the locals are very welcoming and up for a laugh. Not sure about the really loud music they sometimes have playing in the afternoon.
