Absolutely brilliant experience. Visited early on a Friday night. Service was spot on, waiting time was perfect. Didn't feel slow or too rushed. Greeted warmly and with a complimentary shot of Uzo. Greek music playing in the background and lots of trinkets from the island really help set the tone. The menu is really nicely set out and helped give a real family feel to the restaurant. Had deep fried feta with a jam as a start and my wife had baked aubergine. They're not messing about with portion sizes here. This Yorkshireman was very happy. Both were delicious. Main course, I had the Odyssey mixed grill and my wife had the Greek meatballs. Both were delicious. Mine was again a hefty portion and I left the restaurant feeling full but not uncomfortably so. My oy critique (and not enough to change from a 5* experience) is that the mixed grill was served with a sheet of grease paper underneath which went soggy and could've been mixed into the food. I'd have preferred this without. They have bottles of Mythos available which is nice and was served in a frosted glass. All told, 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 drinks came to just under £80 and was worth every penny. Will absolutely be back and singing from the rafters about it. Can't believe it's took me this long to visit!

Probably one of the best restaurants to enjoy the Greek experience, the food is really nice, staff is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is just amazing. Beautiful place.

Went to Odyssey on Saturday 23/11/24 as a group of four for a special occasion. The food was great, it was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Very clean restaurant and facilities with a lovely atmosphere but above all the service was another level some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. A must visit if in Chesterfield we will be back

Got lucky. Just turned up at 4pm and wasn't busy so we got a table. Excellent food, chargrilled chicken and lamb with fried potatoes and really tasty fresh bread. Very recommended 👌

We visited here for the second time last night and can’t express just how lovely this place is. On both occasions the food has been absolutely divine, the waitress more than helpful with us and our grandson (even fetching him some pens & paper to play with) and the service has been exceptional. I had the vegetarian mushroom & halloumi, my daughter the pasta and my husband chicken iskender. All were beautiful. We will definitely be continued repeat customers. Thank you

Visited on a Saturday evening and to be honest some Turkish food can be underwhelming relying on spicy heat and over spiced cumin to sell itself, however a trip to Divan changed my outlook on this cuisine. I had the Mixed Grill main with a very hot bowl of chips but everything on the plate was excellent. Even the rice had flavour, and was cooked to perfection. Service excellent throughout. I can see why they were busy. The picture doesn't have the lamb chop on as it was just being finished off. Overall an excellent meal.

Had a partial rewire plus other work. I had every confidence in this company at every stage. Excellent value, a comprehensive estimate and all work completed on time. The guys were very conscientious and considerate, doing their best to minimise any disturbance and always leaving the house tidy. I would strongly recommend Positive Electrics.

James and his team are top quality! They did wiring in most rooms, putting new lights on, new switches and new sockets on with new hobs in the kitchen. They communicated effectively with me, with their works they are doing. The lads are really good at what they do. James has been responsive and his customer service is great. I look forward to be working with this team again in my next investment project!

We were nervous about using a firm found online, (it didn't work for us last time) and since our previous electrician retired , one of our old (35years) storage heaters also retired ! We were so pleased to find James and his team. He helped us decide on a replacement, explaining very patiently all the options, provided quotes, and gave a date. Two pleasant young gentlemen duly arrived, and completed the job . No mess, no fuss. They explained how the new equipment worked ( easy really) and removed all their rubbish. Nothing left behind. Simples. What a pleasant experience !

This is the second time I have used Positive Electrics. This time I asked them to upgrade the lights in my kitchen, loft and outside to LEDs and motion activated where appropriate . James was very good an advising me about light levels - tone and brightness - which was helpful as I grew up with 40, 60 and 100w bulbs. He also advised me about replacing my burglar alarm and 2 old extractor fans in bathroom areas. The estimates were clearly laid out and I understood exactly what work was being done and roughly how long it would take. The team ( 2 electricians and a mate) that came to do the work were fantastic. I was working from home that day with a heavy schedule and they were very careful in planning their work so it didn’t disrupt mine. They were a pleasure to have in the house, very polite and friendly and they explained how all the new kit worked especially the burglar alarm. Before leaving they made sure I was happy and they tidied everything up and hoovered. I strongly recommend them.

We have always received an amazing service from Nathan and Harris Electrical & Security Ltd. Great communication and Nathan will always explain what is happening and the best way to approach jobs. Excellent workmanship on every job undertaken for us!

Amazing service tonight from Nathan at Harris. Phoned Nathan at 2030 this evening after having issues with our fuse board and he arrived at our property within 20 minutes in good spirit, un effected and ready to crack on which I personally thought was above and beyond for starters after learning he had a newborn daughter at home. Nothing was too much or too little for Nathan and he is retuning out of hours tomorrow to replace the fuse board. A very humble chap with a with a lot of care and knowledge to spread. Would 100% recommend and we will 100% use again, and from now on. Many thanks Nathan, you have really put our minds at ease.

Booked Harris Electrical in for CNS Media who came in and fitted some additional floor boxes as well as linking up some RJ45 ports from the floor boxes into our comms cabinet. He went out of his way to work out of hours to ensure noise was kept to a minimum and to not disrupt the working day. Couldn't have asked for better service and would definitely recommend to anybody else.

I recently had a Hypervolt Home Pro 3 EV charger installed by Plexus Electrical, and I’m extremely pleased with the service. Both Michael and his assistant were punctual, polite, and efficient throughout the entire process. They arrived on time, worked seamlessly together, and made sure to address all of my questions and needs. The installation was quick, tidy, and done to a high standard. They even took the time to ensure I understood how everything worked before they left. Excellent service from start to finish—I’d highly recommend Plexus Electrical to anyone in need of electrical work!

We had our front and back garden done - couldn't have asked for anyone better. Jason, Rich and Dion are reliable, hardworking and honest. Left the place clean and tiny with no complaints at all. Have now signed up for their maintenance package- looking forward to enjoying their work for years to come. Well done guys :)

I have been using SG Gardening for 4 years and have always found them to provide fantastic services at competitive prices. The team are always reliable and try to accommodate my own circumstances where possible, and also fit in extra jobs in good time. Rich and the team are really friendly and trustworthy.

Jay and rich from sg gardening designed and fitted a gorgeous patio within my budget and went the extra mile for us. They were honest and truly transparent with every part of the amazing transformation they made happen on our patio. Would highly recommend, no questions asked. Any other work I need doing I would have them back in a heart beat.

I have used R K Electrical Services on many occasions for both Commercial and Domestic work. Russ is very good at assessing the job required and advising the best way to get what you need. The quality of work is exceptional and he uses quality products in his installations. He also leaves the work area clean and tidy when the job is complete.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have had a significant amount of building work and required new installation of fuse board, first and second fix to new building, along with rewire and reconfiguration of existing lights, sockets and security features etc. A great deal of planning was required, which Russ assisted with. Russ was punctual, tidy and carried out all works to a very high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any electrical work. He is perhaps one of the friendliest tradesmen we have encountered.

We arrived home from a small break to discover our kitchen sockets were not working. We tried the usual stuff to no avail and after phoning several electricians who were to busy, we eventually got RK Electrical services ltd Russell arrived 30 mins later where he fixed the initial issue quickly, however he found a few other faults that were potentially life threatening. Wrong wire connections in fuse box, no earth etc.He must have been at my property for 2 hours,so we we were expecting a large bill(call out etc) We were wrong and nothing what we expected. We had an electrician a few years back to fit us new sockets/lights etc who never spotted the problem. Couldn't recommend Russell( RK Electrical services ltd) any higher. Thanks

RK Electrical have been fantastic, completing high standard electrical work within our home. Russell always leaves the workplace imaculate and completes work to a very high standard. Couldn't recommend enough, looking forward to him completing more work for us.
