The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Amber Valley East Midlands

We have visited this place many times. The staff are absolutely lovely, friendly, welcoming and warm. The food is cooked freshly to order and is always delicious. The cafe is always clean, the staff attentive and they play great 80's music!

I live fairly locally and we often call in for a pint when out on the mountain bikes - always a decent pint. I'd heard good things about the food, so I booked a table on Saturday evening for me and my wife. Upon arrival, I ordered a pint of Hazy Jane, and the barman served this in a Madri glass! I'm no snob, but you don't serve IPA in a lager glass!! I informed the lad that we had a table booked. He told us the table was in the tap room (we were not taken to the table, even though 2 waitresses were standing at the bar next to us. The tap room was busy, with people and dogs, not a problem as we are dog owners, but it would have been nice to be asked if we wanted to sit in there or in the restaurant. I would have thought I'd have been asked when booking 2 weeks ago, but hay-ho. After 10 mins, we had to get the attention of a waitress to ask for menu's (probably because we hadn't been seated?). The waitress then informed us that they didn't have the following: No Lasagne (but we have vegi). No pie's. No Sausages. No Fish. No pizza. No gammon. This reduced the options to either vegetarian dishes, chicken, or rump steak. It's a Saturday at 6:30pm - how can you run out of so many options / not manage to serve covers that have booked? We weren't the only one's sitting around this time, so they knew how many covers they had booked for the evening. There was nothing we wanted on the menu, so we decided to leave and go elsewhere. We are not fussy people, we really aren't. But this was so disappointing, and the service was also below expectations. I mean IPA in a lager glass!!! Not shown to the table!! This is basic, very basic, customer service. It's a shame, because we were looking forward to it. I'll still call in for a pint, and it's a lovely pub, but I won't book to eat there again, nor recommend to anyone else unfortunately. :-(

I normally sit downstairs but for the last couple of visits I have ventured up the stairs, what a great area to enjoy a drink/breakfast. Breakfast was well presented and tasty with the usual excellent service from the staff.

Lo visité hoy. La nueva cocina parece muy impresionante, sin embargo, pedir y recoger bebidas parecía muy desorganizado. El merengue de limón desafortunadamente necesitaba un cuchillo y un tenedor para cortar la pastelería. Precioso té. Espero que los almuerzos mejoren.

We came here 2/2/25 for lunch, ordered our food and drinks. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes, an hour later our food came, partly cold and not the correct order. After finishing the food we could we were still waiting for the food we didn’t receive. Such a shame also because people with small children were waiting too.

Don’t bother ordering a large as you literally just end up with half of the cob empty. Sausage roll was hard and burnt. Panini was alright because the cheese was stringy and not in a nice ‘cheese pull’ kinda way. Won’t order again.
