If you live near Derby or are just visiting for the day don't go to the Intu centre, go to the other end of town and you'll find plenty of gorgeous shops and fab independent businesses like this one which we should all be supporting.

It's a typical, average traditional establishment that has a nice, rustic atmosphere. It's not, however, otherwise remarkable. The ale selection is certainly underwhelming: Three hand pumps, two of which featured the undistinguished Pedigree and Hobgoblin Gold, the third was vacant upon my visit. Rather loud place, too, but the British seem to have a much higher tolerance of noise than us continental Europeans. If you're on a Derby pub crawl, you might just skip this one.

The food is classic British which is something of an oxymoron with the family who owns, cooks and serves being Spanish! Some might class the dishes as being old fashioned but I would like to think of them as more 'retro' :-) The dining room is also old fashioned but that's some of the charm of the thatched building with it's quaint bar and quainter staff. Think Prawn Cocktails, Garlic Mushrooms, Deep Fried Fish, Chateux Briand, etc. A three course banquet on a Sunday runs at a fixed price of £14 per person with some specials carrying a slight price addition. I say banquet because it is a humongous meal - don't eat the day before - you have been warned! P.S. The chips are AWESOME! If you visit twice or more you are sure to be remembered by the owner and her family, give them your name and you will find yourself being hounded to stay 'after hours' for a glass or six of their homemade sangria which, along with the owner's accent, is probably the only nod to their national heritage in the place. Definitely worth a visit and make sure you take your granny with you - she'll LOVE it!

We walked up Sadler Gate and looked a few menus on the way. We decided to stop and look at the menu at The Kitchen which had sandwiches, panini, burgers and salads. We stepped inside to a busy and buzzing cafe with solid wood tables and a huge cake counter. A waitress smiled and showed us to a table. I ordered a ham, cheese & caramelised onion panini which came with a handful of fries and a pot of tea. My partner had a Gourmet Angus Burger with chips and salad and a Diet Coke. Our drinks came promptly, my tea came in a pot for one with a cute bottle of milk like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Coke was in a glass bottle. We had a little wait for our food but it does state on the menu that there may be a wait for food on a Saturday due to being very busy. The table were full and people were constantly coming and going. Staff were very attentive and friendly. I was tempted by the cakes but resisted. There was a sigh saying all cakes are made by the boss on the premises. While we were sat there a person I assume is the boss came out with fresh cakes to replenish the empty spaces. I will have to go back for a pot of tea and a cake. We were not disappointed when our food came. My panini was yummy and my partners burger looked and I was told it tasted good. We finished and asked for the bill. It promptly arrived in a butter dish and I went to the counter to pay. It was a lovely lunch and extremely friendly & attentive staff.

Having the Steak Pie myself I would say it was good value for pub food and the quality was exemplary for the genre. Nice selection of real ales and stouts or lagers for whatever takes your fancy additionally. I will say though after finishing said pie I really didn't need the Black Forest Brownie Cheesecake! Great offers and great value for money, massive improvement over the past 5 years.

We've been wanting to try Masa for some time, after good reports from friends, so a spare Friday…read morenight and armed with a voucher (£40 worth of food for £20), it seemed an appropriate time to give it a try. Set in a Wesleyan Chapel, Masa makes good use of space afforded to its by its former use. Downstairs is a copious area of comfortable seating, were you can sit and have a drink from the well stocked bar, whilst perusing over the varied menu. Not a cheap venue, so we were glad of the voucher; the menu had a sufficiently varied selection of starters and mains, from a tempting duck starter to fish of the day, Sea Bass on the day we visited. We plumped for the chicken wrapped in pancetta and the blade of beef. As our mains were being prepared we were shown to the main eating area upstairs. Initially we were the only diners, but as the night wore on, the restaurant gradually filled, which added greatly to the ambiance. After an aperitif of warm broccoli soup served in a tea cup, and some fresh bread with chilli flakes, the mains soon arrived. The chicken wrapped in pancetta was accompanied with dauphinoise potatoes and creamed leeks; the chicken was moist and tender, and a lovely rich flavour. The blade of beef sat on savoy cabbage, bacon and sweet red onions, with a fondant potato, all in a red wine jus. Again packed with flavour, the beef melted in the mouth. We also shared a side order of cauliflower, mange tout and carrots, a very healthy portion, to accompany my meagre single carrot I got with my meal. Side orders really do irritate me, if you going to sell an expensive main course, give me something to go with it, I don't want to always pay extra for something that really should come with the meal. Rant over! Fantastic main courses, packed with flavour, hopes were high for the desserts. The chocolate and orange crème brûlée sounded perfect, accompanied by shortcake biscuit and a chocolate twirl, with fresh mint ice cream. The Crème brûlée was lovely, a fantastically smooth chocolate taste, but try as I might, the orange flavour wasn't there. The fresh mint ice cream whilst nice, overpowered the rest of the dish too, a shame. My wife's lemon and lime cheesecake, with raspberry sorbet, also lacked flavour in the cheesecake. All in all a good meal, but both desserts didn't quite hit the mark, shame really, as the mains were really rather good!

The food is either piping hot, well-cooked and edible or stone cold and not worth the £5.99. The staff are usually pleasant, one or two times they have been less than satisfactory. But you would get that anywhere in a retail environment so perhaps that's a little unfair. Car park is also on the small side and incredibly tight...
