Lovely Local Indie
Previously located at Old Blacksmiths Yard in Derby’s Cathedral Quarter, The Palfrey relocated to Milford in autumn 2021. I’d seen and heard good things about this multi award winning restaurant and was looking forward to my visit. My friend Sarah and I have discovered a shared love of a Sunday roast and were looking forward […]
Looking for somewhere special for date night? Here’s my edit of the most romantic restaurants in Derbyshire. There are plenty of traditional, candle lit restaurants, but I’ve not restricted it to restaurants that meet that ‘conventional’ notion of romance so hopefully there are plenty of options to suit everyone. Everywhere I’ve recommended would be a […]
Here’s my edit of the best Valentine’s Day menus from the loveliest independent restaurants across Derbyshire. I’ve also included dine in options for those who struggle to get a babysitter or who just prefer to stay in the comfort of their own house. All of the details of these were found on the Instagram or […]
[AD – gifted meal] I’d heard such good things about this newly renovated country inn and gastro pub. It relaunched under new ownership not long ago. Everyone I know who has dined at The George has been very complimentary about it, so when I was recently invited for dinner I jumped at the opportunity. The […]
Struggling to find the best vegan restaurants Derby?

I thought this might be a fun way to round up my food blogging adventures of 2021. It’s been a funny old year hasn’t it? Lockdowns and ever changing restrictions… but also, thankfully, some relative normality. Let’s hope for much more of that in 2022. So, what does a Derbyshire food blogger most like to […]
[AD] Our meal and drinks were gifted in exchange for a review. As always, views are completely my own. I’d heard good things about The Bulls Head Holymoorside. But I had no idea just how spectacular the food is. I was recently invited to review their tasting menu and I was blown away by the […]
The Barley Mow Bonsall is a tiny Derbyshire pub. In many ways it’s the perfect example of a traditional country inn. One room, exposed wooden beams, full of characters, not least the landlady Colette. She’ll regale you with tales of the celebrities that have visited and have you laughing and chuckling along with the locals. […]
I had wanted to try Lovage in Bakewell ever since it opened about seven months ago. I finally got to go for lunch last week. I took my Mum for a festive treat. Here’s what I thought… The background Lovage by Lee Smith is an exciting addition to the Peak District’s food scene. Chef Owner […]
