Booked a table for the husband’s birthday meal, never been before, but the whole affair was faultless. The service, the value for money and the food was amazing! We will definitely return, thank you 😊
They catered for my boyfriend’s birthday brilliantly. The food was delicious!
It was way too noisy, the food was greasy and piled up like a chip shop. The waitress was lovely but really it was apparent that food was a second thought over the bar. This should be made clear in their marketing.
Excellent food and great service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend
Another good visit here. I’ve visited various chains on this branch and never fail to enjoy a nice bit of food and drink in a good atmosphere
Nice place for a drink or a bite to eat with a pleasant atmosphere and varied menu for somewhere that doubles as a bar/restaurant
Very nice staff and very good food as well. The price is fair.
The food was delicious as always and I like the variety in cocktails
I come here a few times and the food is always hot and nice
Good service, played niceness music and enjoyed the foods which was lovely
Great service , lovely meal and ambiance. We had a superb evening.
Great service - very friendly and welcoming. Lovely food too 😊
Excellent food and service, great afternoon for a birthday celebration!
Great birthday meal . Would go again. Staff great Thanks
The staff was amazing and very helpful. Food was fantastic could not fault it. Can wait to go back
Staff very friendly and food excellent value. Great vibe later on as well after good finished
Really great place. Food was amazing. Staff very courteous and went above expectations. Only two tiny points to turn a 9 to a 10. A whisky tumbler with a whisky would be nice rather than a tall glass. And a menu of whiskies with tasting notes/prices would be better than standing at the bar playing hit or miss. But all in all we loved the place.
Very relaxing atmosphere, very good food with great portion sizes
Very big portions and nice good. Vegetable curry very tasty.
Food was delicious, great range of food and drinks and affordable even though everything was to a high standard. Would definitely recommend
Awesome, I really enjoyed the service and bar, the options were fantastic and we were catered very much well indeed. Gin and tonic and ciders and Guinness and IOA beers were all good
Staff are very friendly, arrived early for dinner reservation and told the barman we had a reservation. He checked if the table was ready then escorted us upstairs and seated us an brought our drinks over. Restaurant is nice and well staffed to the number of diner's. The food was great and if any down side it would be far more was served than expected
Enjoyed the food Presented very well staff very friendly good atmosphere I would recommend the braised beef, would also recommend booking as the day we went was quiet.
Very friendly and helpful staff. I have coeliac disease and the staff always know what is suitable. Staff allow enough time from when you are first seated to order drinks and then food. The food is amazing, fairly priced and there is lots of it.
Booked a table of 10 for a Christmas party back in early November, only to recieve a call from the distillery a couple of weeks later to cancel as they could no t longer fit us in due to an already booked party increasing their number. I wish the Distillery had been honest when they cancelled as when I made original booking I was told they weren't very busy.....
Nice food at a reasonable price. Nice Gin selection too! Did get a bit loud but that's to be expected in town on a Friday night.
We love eating here early evening before it gets busy. It’s a small restaurant, which suits us and the staff are excellent. The menu has a variety of foods at reasonable prices. We had the king prawns to start and it was delicious, the mains are very filling we ordered smoked salmon club sandwich and a crab burger and they were both excellent. Drinks well priced too. A friendly place to eat in the centre of derby
Starters were all lovely and fresh, mains however weren’t hot (warm) and not the best quality. Also was asked to pre order because they were really busy - maybe one other table in whilst we were there for food. Service was poor - drinks took ages and had to ask to be served twice. A bit disappointed all in all.
Fabulous handmade cocktails and tasty interesting food Very pleasant staff too. Liked the ambience of upstairs and it's situated in a pleasant and convenient spot
Great, friendly service, good food & drinks. Waiter recommended a “special” old fashioned cocktail, definitely worth a try if you like bourbon. We had a table of 6, everyone very happy with overall experience.
Always a nice atmosphere, friendly polite staff. Great food choices including gluten free. Would have liked to have seen olives on the menu (lunch) but you can't have everthing!
Excellent food, good drink selection and the staff were exceptional. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Derby for a meal or even just for a few drinks. Or both!
Good food and excellent service! We were seated immediately and we were constantly being take care of by the waiter. Food was good as well as the drinks.
Great food, relaxed atmosphere, good service would recommend early evening for a couple or group of friends. We loved the sharing platter, particularly the chicken wings
Kitchen closes rather early... but food is very good, drinks perfect... service great. We all had a fantastic time. Won't be long to be back
Fantastic food and cocktails. General atmosphere was lacking slightly as we were the only 2 people in there at lunchtime on a Saturday. Would definitely go back but feel they need to market their lunchtime food menu more as they're missing out on so much potential trade.
Great service from friendly staff. The menu was limited however the meals were really lovely. We also really enjoyed the cocktails. We will definitely go back again.
Restaurant is in a nice location, set back from the main street. We were meet on arrival by several staff and made to feel very welcome. Food and service was good during our visit. I would definitely recommend the distillery to my friends and family.
Lovely food. The chef even made something else to cater for a nut / coconut allergy sufferer. The room wasn't warm enough for most of the people in my party though.
Great food and service as always. Plus as it was our anniversary, they went out of their way and provided us with a glass of bubbly each which was a very nice surprise. Can highly recommend. Will happily go back
Good service , good food and good value Waiter was helpful Would recommend it for a night out either in group or as a couple
The food was really good and we got lots for our money. The staff were really friendly and greeted us with a smile. Didn't have to wait long for food either. Would recommend to anyone.
Love this place! Food is excellent, great atmosphere, very friendly staff that made you feel right at home. Limited number of tables for dining so suggest you book ahead if possible.
Food was good (although my steak a little fatty!) and drinks great especially the gin! But staff drove us crazy! Every 2 minutes(this is not an exaggeration) asking if we were ok, clearing our table when we were still chewing the last mouthful, just too many times we were interrupted when talking. Good value though and good atmosphere.
Food was amazing good options for myself as a vegetarian staff were extremely attentive lovely place for food and cocktails will100% be returning to The distillery
Lovely food and cocktails. A comfortable atmosphere that is perfect for an evening meal out. Staff were polite and responsive to suriving a cocktail that wasn't on the menu. Thoroughly enjoyed then whole evening.
Great food and cocktails, had the Sharing platter starter and a couple of sides and was full up , so couldnt manage a main or desert, which was a shame as they had apple and blackberry crumble on, will have to go back and have a smaller starter!.
Amazing food and drinks, but just very quiet at lunchtime and so lacked atmosphere. But can imagine in the evening it would be an amazing place for both food and drinks.
A very pleasant evening. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food all arrived at the same time (there were 6 of us). The live music was an added bonus.
The doormen were really helpful and told us who to speak to, to find out where we had been seated. The atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant was excellent. Our waiter was really attentive and the food was amazing.
