The Farmhouse at Mackworth in Derby

Lovely meal at the Farmhouse this afternoon.Our server April was so professional, warm and attentive.Very impressed with my friends choice of fish and chips with triple cooked chips. She was impressed.I had the pork belly which was so tender, moist, well cooked with the fat well rendered down.I added a side of broccoli and triple fried chips which complemented the pork.We both had the Pistachio Bakewell for desert which was absolutely delicious.Lovely. Thank You again April.

We visited the farmhouse for a meal last night. We were served promptly by Megan who was so lovely, professional and knowledgeable about the menu.Steak cooked perfectly. Partners pie etc cooked perfectly; beautiful accompanying gravy.Couldn't get the taste of truffle in the truffle butter ordered to accompany the steak. Triple cooked chips were delicious.Had a side of Mac n' Cheese which was okay; not as flavoursome as it could be. The side of garlic bread had no taste of garlic; we requested some garlic butter to put on it which made it much more palatable. Megan was so very attentive and happy to oblige.All in all a good meal with minor issues.Will still keep coming as the service was great. THANK YOU MEGAN from us both.

The ambience is really good. I liked vibes and customer service, they were polite and good. We ordered many dishes and they were amazing. They have lot of spaces inside and outside, so we can even organize some wedding events in the lawn.

This is a lovely restaurant with superb pizzas, but also a varied selection on its menu. The restaurant is comfortable and has a lot of tables, but the service is good and food arrives at the table quickly. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place to eat - reasonable prices and lovely food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bar area is a nice relaxing area to sit in addition to the restaurant area. Dogs welcome in bar area. Really enjoyed my visit and would definitely go again. Highly recommended.

No one met us at the wait here to be seated sign for our booking.All the food we ordered was terrible.Starters of carrot bhaji was a heavy stodgy disk with a cream and a bit of coriander in it for the chutney, horrendous.Warm puff pastry with hummus and beetroot was pulled straight from the fridge, pastry 1cm hard fattyand raw, no beetroot just a bit blended into the hummus. We complained about both and they were taken off the bill.Mains were also messed up, my duck breast was so overcooked it was grey and depressing. The rigatoni pasta sauce was dishwater, with so many red onions. We had already been given a free glass of wine due to the wait, so we didn't complain as it was just a painful experience by now. Ordered dessert because we were still hungry, they were well made and good apart from the Happy Birthday written in icing sugar with a wet finger on the plate. Ew.The poor front of house staff were dealing with lots of unhappy customers, doing their best, but the kitchen is in a total mess. April looked after our table, she was really professional considering what she was facing.Even our dough balls were half raw, with no hint of truffle!Another member of staff said the kitchen was in a shambles when I asked if the Head Chef was off today.

Table sticky to the extent glasses and condiments were stuck very firmly too itRoast potatoes hard veg on the cool side roast beef tasteless ( the mushroom wellington was excellent) we weren’t asked if everything was ok until we had nearly finished. Service very slow then couldn’t see anyone to ask for the bill. Until the waitress came and said would we hurry up they needed the table ! Not up to the usual standard as been quite often in the past very disappointed.

Good menu, and I enjoy my steak, good quality. Excellent service. The conservatory does get rather noisy, so if you want to be able to chat ask for one of the other dining areas. X

Classy, calm, well organised, extra friendly team of staff.Just wanted a road trip/chill out time after Christmas- perfect place.Bedroom was clean, original, bed comfy. Warm but ventilated by window. Great hot shower. Good breakfast, well cooked.No complaints at all and will be returning

An excellent pub/restaurant near Markeaton Park, with hotel rooms which are very nice. We stayed in the snowball room and it was an excellent layout with a great bed and nice having a DAB radio next to the bed as well.The Folly which is attached is also and excellent wedding venue with a large hall and a beautiful view out from the patio.
