"This new restaurant, formerly a Subway shop, just opened and we decided to try their fish and chips. The owner, an Italian chef with years of experience, was very friendly. They also offer pizzas and a variety of other items on the menu at reasonable prices, and you can choose to dine in or take away. The place is spotless and is open for both lunch and dinner. We ordered cod and chips, as well as a pie and chips to go. The cod was fresh and delicious, with a tasty batter. The chips were excellent, and the Pukka pie was of the usual high quality. As a bonus, we were offered a free cake of our choice. This is now our go-to takeaway spot in Derby, and we will definitely be returning."

"We arrived in good time for our reservation having traveled up from London. Our table had a window view of the canal and tow path. Our waiter was friendly and was able to give us information on our choice of dishes. Our starters were quite good although the prawns were smothered in too much sauce which made for rather messy eating. Our main dishes were traditional British fare and included the Fish and Chips with mushy peas which were good and served in good time. The evening went well as the restaurant section of the pub filled up and this lead to a nice ambiance. The bill for four was quite reasonable considering we enjoyed two bottles of their New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. We would certainly go back when we are in Birmingham again."

"Started by phoning to make a booking,this was horrendous in the end I phoned central reservations and they put me through to the restaurant. I asked if the carvery was still available they assured me it was. Arrived at restaurant nobody came to show us or table we asked at the bar they pointed to where it was.sat at the table no one came to explain where the starters were or anything else. We found the starters or should I say where the remains or maybe not were. No plates to put the food on had to go and find someone The cold plate of meat what was left was spattered with cream from the desserts which was right next to it on the table,salad was non existent had to find someone again to explain all this. The main course was almost the same very little meat left the beef was the best and that was pretty miserely. The veg and the yorkshires were only just above blood heat. My advice is don't go anywhere near this carvery any later than mid afternoon. ."

"Spotted Pixxa when I was in Farringdon so checked it out. They specialize in Roman style pizza which are rectangular slices of pizza found in Rome. There were so many choices hence I decided to revisit another day for it. Went back on a Monday lunch when it was nice and quiet and got the 3 slice deal for £10.95. After choosing my slices, I thought they just give it to you but it goes in the oven once more so they are piping hot. I got settled and started to take photos as usual when I heard these crunching noises from the guy opposite. It was then I realized how thin and crispy the pizza base was which was my liking because I am extreme when it comes to the pizza base; it has to be thin and crispy or thick and bready, there is not in between! The three flavours I got were the artichoke and nduja, potato and rosemary, sausage and scamorza. I started with the potato and rosemary first because it had the lightest taste, the first bite was impressive because of the pizza base which was thin and airy like pan de cristal/glass bread. Then there was the fluffy yet crispy potato which was crushed/crumbled to cover the pizza evenly. The other two pizzas were both equally good but the artichoke and nduja was probably my favourite because of the pairing and the spicy kick from the nduja. The sausage and Scamorza with onions was another lovely combo but somehow, I am loyal to the English pork sausage so nothing quite beats it. Overall, I was impressed as the pizzas were not too oily or heavy to give you that bloated feeling. They are also doing a pizza challenge where you eat 6 slices but I didn't realize the slices were that big so it doesn't quite seem possible! Will definitely return when I am feeling peckish because you can just get them by the slice. The guy there was really friendly and there is an upstairs as well which I didn't know on the first visit. The ambiance upstairs was so relaxing that you could stay there all day."

"I was here with the company I work with. First impression was good. Hotel itself is very modern. We did not stay so can't comment on the accommodation. We arrived around 6pm to have drinks in the bar. Queues at bar, not enough staff. No pink gin. We were asked to move through to the bar outside the function room at 7.10pm. Were we were given some cheap alternative to prosecco and it was cheap. Then at 7.30pm we were told to take our seats in the function room. The seating was a long table, so you were unable to converse with anyone except the people immediately beside you. The first course,of potato and leek soup was eventually served at 8.15pm. The soup was fine but you can't really go wrong with potato and leek soup. We then waited until 9pm for our main course. This was disgusting to say the least. It was supposed to be a Christmas dinner.I have never seen a round turkey. It was also over cooked and dry. The 1 stuffing ball was brick hard and looked like it had been around a while. Other than that there was 1 chipolata sausage,1 strip of carrot, 3 brussel sprouts, 2 strips of parsnips and 3 undercooked roast potatoes. I would not have served this to a dog.The dessert was a cheesecake, sticky toffee. Very sweet. The dance floor was far too small for the amount of people in the room and therefore people were dancing on the carpet beside the tables. The save and grace was the DJ. Who played a variety of music to suit everyone. Fair to say, I won't be back and would not recommend for a Christmas night out."

"Ate here before a concert as we were staying at the hotel. Our deal included a 2 course meal each from a fixed menu with a choice of 4 starters, 6 mains and a few desserts. We chose to share a starter and a pud, plus have a main course each. The portion sizes were fairly large so this was a good choice, and it se emend like the staff were used to people doing this so no problem in getting extra cutlery etc. The food. Was well cooked and tasty and good value for the price paid. Suggest booking in advance as we saw customers being turned away."

"DisgustEd and utter disappointment in the way my party of four were treated . I had booked a table for 4 people at midday as a treat for my parents before going to Strickly come dancing today. when we arrived there was a board closing of the restaurant and so we went into the bar where we approached and told the restaurant was going to be full with an oil company function and waved away to find ourselves a table in the bar. My parents are elderly and can not manage up to the high tables so we eventually found a round table for the four of us to sit. The table and chairs were dirty and covered with food. I had to go and find someone to come and clean the table and chairs. We chose our food and after a while went to the bar to see if someone was going to serve us to discover we had to order at the bar. The final straw was when we tried to order they didn’t have what we would like for our meal. There was no explanation or apologies for not having a table for us in the restaurant, for the table and chairs being dirty, no service or explanation that we had to order our food at the bar and no apology for not having what we would like to order for our meal. We collected our jackets and left. We had a lovely meal with great service elsewhere. Totally appalled at the lack of customer service and when speaking to others it would appear we are not the only ones."

"We went to this restaurant on Saturday. We were given a table really quickly as it was not busy. We proceeded to order some drinks. I ordered some still water which was poured out into a glass for me. When I went to drink the water, the glass really reeked and I complained to the waiter and asked him to smell the glass. Not sure if he understood but he went away and brought another empty glass. What I noticed was that the restaurant was drying glasses using a cloth. I would bet my house that this cloth was dirty and making the glasses smelly. Plenty of bacteria I bet too. The new glass did not seem to be smelly so I accepted it. Food was ok, we had pizzas which were ok. I prefer crispy pizzas. When the bill came, we were charged in full for the water. I complained to the waiter and he went and spoke to his manager. It was very poor form to expect a customer to pay for something not received. Waiter then proceeds to come to the table and pour a further glass of water!! Fair enough it now means I have been given the water I am being charged for but no apology about the dirty glasses or inconvenience. I paid and left but would never return. Some training required in service and how to treat paying customers. And some hygiene training required stop using that dirty cloth. Disgusting."

"Took some family members (7) for carvery at 4pm Sunday. Starters dried up , soup wouldn’t come out of jug so had to remove lid tip out . Just a lump of cold congealed mess . Bread rolls rock solid. Main was equally terrible , end of dried up turkey (server apologised) ham fatty and no beef. Veg and potatoes soggy and just leftover from early in the day . So greasy and cold . All got left . There was a table with breakfast food on it , ie, croissants, jam . Seeded muffing and granola. This is what my two grandsons ate . We complained to server , he laughed and said yes it’s left over from breakfast! Never ever in my 60 years have I had such an embarrassing and inedible meal . I’ve never ever left a negative comment on any site before but this was totally unacceptable. I’ve sent an email but not sure if I’ve sent it correctly. We spent a great deal of money on this meal and had to take the children to a fast food outlet on the way home . I was very upset as I had chosen this venue felt very upset embarrassed by the whole experience. Needless to say we won’t be returning or recommending this carvery experience. Someone seriously needs to look at the quality of food . Potatoes , supposedly roast where just white in colour and covered in grease . There was maybe 10 potatoes in the server and there was 7 of us in our party but we asked and told there wasn’t any more . Why we stayed I do not know . Several days later I cannot stop thinking about this meal and feel incredulous that we didn’t ask for a refund, probably just much to polite to do so ."

"I took my girlfriend to this restaurant for a Valentine’s Day dinner and we planned to use a 2-for-1 main meal voucher. The voucher clearly stated it couldn't be used on Christmas Day or New Year's meals. I mentioned the voucher when making the reservation, but when we arrived, we were informed that they had emailed me about not honoring it on Valentine's Day (they hadn't). When we explained that the voucher only excluded Christmas and New Year, the person at the front desk simply said we couldn't use it. Normally, I would have walked out and found another place, but since it was Valentine’s Day, I wanted to treat my girlfriend, and most other restaurants were fully booked. We chose to stay and eat there, though our mood was understandably affected. The food was decent, but I’m not sure it justified the £30 per person price tag."

"The service was terrible. It took an hour for our appetizers to arrive, and we had to repeatedly request a glass of water. The burger was overcooked, and the coffee machine had malfunctioned, so we had to wait until it was turned back on. When the coffee finally came, it was definitely not cappuccinos—more like very strong coffee with just a splash of milk. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience."

"On Sunday evening, I visited the restaurant after booking a room at the hotel. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed and we were directed to the Grill instead. However, at 7.30 pm, there were three large screens showing football with loud music playing, making it difficult to have a quiet meal and converse with friends. Despite this, we bought drinks and spoke to the manager, who was accommodating and attentive. The bar staff seemed inexperienced with the till system, but the manager ultimately resolved the noise issue by setting up a table in the lobby area. When checking in at 4.30 pm, the noise from the TVs in the lobby was overwhelming, prompting me to consider leaving immediately. A staff member helped with check-in by shouting over the noise. I would suggest separating the noisy bar area from the lobby to avoid losing customers in the future. Overall, the service provided by the manager was satisfactory, despite the initial challenges."

"Not at the moment. Wait for the full refurb before going back. The staff didnt know if they were handling the bar menu or the grill menu. Ordering drinks at the bar, same 4 drinks, different prices depending on who served you. On the grill side 3 course Sunday lunch Starters was soup served from coffee pots in enamelled cups. Main was server on a wooden board, Desert was cookies or croissant. We had to order separate deserts from the bar menu (at extra cost) for one not to arrive at the table. (cost deducted from the bill) To be fair the food that was server was nice BUT!!!!! If I wanted a cup a soup I would have stayed at home. We ask for plates because how do you pour gravy on a wooden board? plus I don't like the taste of wood in my roast beef. Finally, cookies, croissant or a shot glass of cream with a bit of jam doesn't constitute dessert to me. Bring back the carvery! and plates!"

"We decided to visit this restaurant with our friends because it is local to us, we have been there before and had good food and we love Italian food. We arrived on what we thought would be a busy evening due to a local international air show. When we got into the restaurant it was very quiet but didn't think much of it. Then we looked at the menu and was shocked as to the changes that had been made as there was only a couple of things on there that would be classified as Italian it was mainly Asian/Eastern food. We were somewhat confused and quizzed the waitress as to where the Italian choices had gone and she advised that the menu had been changed. The choices for the 4 of us were vegi skewers, beef skewers, burger and meatballs. The food was cooked well and tasted good but the restaurant seems to currently have an identity crisis with an Italian name and stating italian restaurant on the front of the menu but very little Italian food choices. Also it was very quiet for a Saturday night, no atmosphere and the waitresses seemed to rush us a little in order that they could close up. I would not recommend this restaurant at the moment until the menu changes."

"Popped into the Potting Shed for some lunch with my Girlfriend. We ordered the Four Cheese Pizza and the Yorkshire Burger with Blue Cheese. Both arrived in quick time and were cooked to perfection and well seasoned, we also took advantage of the £5 off deal so excellent value for money!! The staff were brilliant too, they were pleasant and attentive and checked a couple of times that everything was ok…. Would really recommend this pub, seems to run like clockwork !!"
