"Worst dining experience ever Where do I begin... there were so many issues!! My sister travelled down as I wanted to take her out for her birthday and saw there was a good overall rating so chose this place. Biggest mistake ever!!! We arrived, there was no acknowledgement, just stared at by the barman and people at the bar; had to say we had arrived for a meal and I had just called about it. Were taken upstairs, although they could see we had a baby had to ask for a high chair. Chair arrived wet and still dirty but this happens at other places so I cleaned it again. Then he came to take our drinks order and there was no drinks menu and he didn 't know what all of them were and couldn 't describe them properly. The 'fizzy ' drinks were flat and one of them was tasteless. Asked for straws. None available. Ordered our food. The barman runs upstairs after a few minutes to say the chef has burnt 2 lots of the pork so only one left. The other starters didnt appeal so he said he 'd give a garlic bread for free. After waiting ages, it all finally arrives. There was only one other table at this point and it was before 6p.m. The pork belly bites are still a bit burnt but covered up with bbq sauce, the tomato soup is raw and bland, and the garlic bread is passable. My 18 month old is starving by now so eats most of the garlic bread. I had already asked for them to bring her food out first and they didn’t. Mains arrive after another long wait. Fish fingers are hand made ones but completely burnt and the fish is completely dry inside them, hunters chicken bland, pasta passable, sizzling chicken is soggy chicken with raw garlic and a ridiculous amount of chilli in it... and I eat alot of spicy food. By now were all so hungry so we ate it but I sent my babys food back as it was not edible. The chef agrees its burnt and blames the breadcrumbs and ask if they can make it with batter instead and I say thats fine. After we finish were left for another 35 minutes waiting ignored by other waiting staff so I go downstairs to see where our waiter is. No sign of him, I then ask for the dessert thats part of the childrens meal we were told about earlier and everyone denies it comes with one and they dont know what I 'm talking about! My sister really wanted to treat herself to a dessert but with their behaviour we decided we just wanted the bill and to leave. Only one person apologised who was the other waiter who agreed we had not had good service. I give feedback as per above regarding our experience and they call the owner over. I tell him how disappointed I am about the evening as per everything I 've detailed above, I ask why we were given the wrong information about the childrens meals. He gives a watery excuse about 'transitioning staff '. I tell him then the responsibility is with him to train them. He denies the food was bad and says they 've never had a bad review like this. I then find out on reading details of other reviews later that he 's just plain lying). I tell him that instead of being defensive he should apologise and he says 'I 'm sorry if you feel disappointed but we know how good we are and pride ourselves on this '. At which point, I let him know that he was unprofessional and that was not an apology by any means! I also told him, the only professional person was the waiter who wasn 't taking care of us that actually apologised as he realised we had been treated badly. I also reminded him that the chef admitted had burnt the food. I then tell him I don 't want to hear any excuses, I just want to pay my bill and leave this nightmare of a place. I think they thought I wouldn 't be able to pay it??? And was angling for free food??? Ridiculous. That was the point when he apologised properly. They took the drinks off the bill and 2 pounds off the 'childrens meal deal '. My advice since you dont know what you might get on the day in terms of professionalism, food quality and hygiene... AVOID THIS PLACE!!!"

"the first time I was and will not be the last! how have I lived in ilkeston for so long and never tried to drop this place! to fall early and absolutely loved! while not the cheapest breakfast, the quality of the products more than for them. the location was tastefully done, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I love the fact that they also have a small art gallery and show local talent. two small suggestions for the owners. 1) they offer greater flexibility on orders. we wanted to order a few halloumi with breakfast next to our order (sometimes what can be ordered with another breakfast), but they said we couldn't. 2) offer more than a size of hot drink. small points but overall an excellent first visit."

"I had a wonderful meal here with my family, which included a total of nine people, along with a small child. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived until the end of our meal. The food was served quickly, piping hot, and all at once. The portions were generous and satisfying. We also enjoyed a beautifully presented dessert that was a good size. My partner had the squash pudding, which came with plenty of crispy toppings—definitely not a tiny portion! Overall, it was excellent value for money. I was genuinely impressed and will definitely return."
