Went for dinner last night. The restaurant...and the hotel...is a shadow of its former self with skeleton staff and the staff who did attend were the dedicated few. Basically, this place is being run down by its owner which is a crying shame as it has a wonderful history and is in a prime location in historic Derby city centre. A real disappointment.

We stopped for a snack and found this well established old firm of Birds do a great cake and cuppa. Friendly staff too.

read moreThe restaurant experience in historic Derby has garnered mixed reviews, with many patrons expressing disappointment. Despite the venue's charming architecture and prime location, it suffers from inattentive service, lukewarm food, and a lack of atmosphere exacerbated by harsh lighting. While some guests appreciated attentive staff and innovative dishes, others encountered poorly executed meals and unprofessional management. The breakfast buffet disappointed with cold, stale items, and hopeful diners lamented the restaurant’s decline from its once-storied reputation. There remains an underlying hope that this establishment can reclaim its former glory amid the negatives that currently overshadow it.
