This is the restaurant outlet, it appears, of the Revolution de Cuba BAR at No.1, The Strand. It is…read morea large, elegantly fashioned place that specializes in burgers and Latin American-style food. On weeknights, and most certainly, weekends, it does get quite busy. It's located a tiny wee bit off the city centre, but just about a 5-6 minute walk from the pedestrian precinct. It's an upmarket place, burgers go for as much as UKP 13, including fries and mayonnaise. Nothing more. There are several other sides available, and I do HEARTILY recommend the onion rings, which turned out to be the best I've had in my life - and there was quite a stack of them for a moderate UKP 3. A year ago I ate chimichangas there, which were quite all right but certainly not outstanding. This time I opted for the beef burger with pulled pork, and it was a good choice. Very good meat, very fine burger. The portion of fries was modest, but they were tasty. To avoid the crowds I had an early dinner at about 5.30 p.m. on a weekday, so it was rather empty. But it's a very elegant place with nice, attentive staff. The beer selection focuses on lagers - obviously. But then, there are OH SO MANY real ale pubs in Derby close by, like e.g. the wonderful The Flower Pot, within a 5-minute walking distance. Recommended for burgers and those great onion rings.

Absolutely terrible We arrived and were seated quickly…read morewhich was awesome. Our waitress came around 15 minutes or so later and took our drink orders. Then another 15 or so and our drinks arrived. We should have took that as an indication of how things work here. Instead we waited another hour and a half with no pop ins by the waitress before I finally flagged down someone to inquire where in the world our food was. We decided we would just leave out of frustration when she came out all frantic with our food. It wasn't even that good and our waitress literally never checked in even after all that. After returning home this is the only bad meal / food experience we had while in England. I paid close to $70 pounds to be incredibly disappointed. I deserve a refund and an apology.

My pet peeve has to be missing the last breakfast order on a Sunday. Which is almost inevitable…read morewhen you're in a different city attempting to discover somewhere new. Cue the Bean Caffe. Located in Friar Gate Studios, Derby. It's a near miss - in fact, we drove past it twice before we had the 'AHA - IT'S THERE' moment! *Caps necessary as if I remember rightly, I let out a rather loud squeal upon our discovery... Aside from it's high-rankings, awards and even décor - What I loved most about the Bean Caffe is the fact it's owned and managed by mother and daughter - Sarah and Liv. They have perfected the art of ALL things breakfast (or brunch in my case) and offer a range of favourites from Eggs Benedict to Toasted Banana Sandwiches. I opted for the 'Smashed Avocado': Toasted Sourdough topped with avocado, poached eggs and a shake of hot Sriracha Sauce. SO delicious and for just £5.50 an absolute bargain.

Re-visited The Brewery Tap twice during my stay in Derby in February of 2017. Things were pretty…read moremuch the same as I reported earlier. It's a nice, friendly place with knowledgeable staff and a huge selection of beers, many real ales among them (tap or bottled). This is the official tap for Derby Brewery, so of course you will be able to sample any of their brews which, on balance are rather nice. They are not brewed on the premises though. Speaking of sampling beers: They do offer a convenient "tasting board" which consists of five smaller glasses, which add up to about 2 full pints (You can pick the beers you want yourself from their in-house brews) and a small bowl of cheese to cleanse your palate in between trying the beers. It's a recommended and nicely inexpensive method. See my photo. Again, this is a fairly modern pub that also offers decent food. It is popular with the young and older punters alike, although it may most appeal to hipster folk. Atmosphere is bright rather than rustic. Prices are normal for Derby, and vary between beers of different strength (due to the British beer tax), which might be an unfamiliar concept to visitors from abroad. Recommended as part of a Derby pub crawl.

I had a half portion of the fish and chips and it was the perfect size. The breading was not too greasy yet light and didn't fall apart. I most enjoyed their homemade tartar sauce.

If in Derby again, I would visit again!

We would never go back to Franky & Bennys near the Derby Royal Hospital ever again!! It started on…read moreour first visit. We were given a not so happy waitress who didnt seem really bothered with us. Following this our food was awful. Our food was not nice at all, most was cold and did not taste nice at all - not enjoyable at all. We did mention this and have it recitifed which was fine. Following this we had the most rude experience we have ever had at a restaurant! Towards the end of the night we were sat with drinks after our meal, at this point the music in the entire restaurant was turned off abruptly, we asked the waitress what time they shut to which the manager shouted from across the restaurant floor 9.30 We found this very rude and left as it was 9.40. As we left the building we looked at the times on the door to which it said 10.00pm close. We thought this was disgraceful! We complained to Head office to which we got a telephone call from the general manager saying we could come back for a complimentary meal and we also got vouchers for a meal at any F&B restaurant. We returned to the same restaurant some weeks later - expecting 100% top class service following our awful experience. We arrived and made ourselves known to the very nice waiter who said he would tell the mananger we were here and that they would come over. No manager came over to us. Our food was disgusting yet again (even worse then last time) My fiends pizza was burned dark black on the underside, very unedible! my chips and chicken burger were stone cold, we couldnt believe this was happening again!!? We told our very nice waiter the problems and he recitified them but still no manager came over to us. It took most of the night until 2 managers came over and discussed the problems to which they said they didnt really know what to say? Overall we will never go back to this franky and bennys ever again! We were so disgusted with the service and food and suggest to everyone to keep well away from this F&B!

There is quite a lot of seating because there is some downstairs and a lot upstairs. The tables are usually quite clean although there isn't usually any staff upstairs. The staff are average fast food restaurant staff, teenagers and also typically eager to do their job well.

The seats aren't really that comfy but are ok i guess. The food is always nice and cooked well though.
