It is my favourite restaurant in Derby. Located near to the cathedral, it is an independent restaurant that is run by the head chef. It has constantly changing seasonal menus and every course is absolutely delicious. It does not have a license so cannot serve alcohol. However you are welcome to take your own wine or beer etc. 2 courses costs £35, but they do not accept card payments so make sure you take cash! Recommend booking in advance.
