The Best Restaurants in Foremark, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Fabulous! Tasting menu and pairing wines amazing. Loved the cheese cake course. Lovely service.

What a fantastic dining experience. We went for the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing. We thought it was excellent value at £75pp & £45 for the wine. It had a different wine for all 8 courses. A nice touch was a menu for the complementary canapés. The stand out dishes for me was the halloumi canapé and salmon tartar 😍. Hubby’s star dishes were the ham hock terrine & strawberry parfait. He also loved both canapé’s & homemade sourdough and butters. Waiting staff were great, loved it & will be back!

Lovely! Went for our annual Birthday taster menu and it was great as always. Got to try a few things we'd never had before. A few items were quite salty which was such a shame but the puddings as always were th best part!

Incredible value for money. Beautiful taster menu. Stunning wine pairings. Exemplary service. 10/10. Highly recommend. Will be back.

Had an excellent meal last night, staff were attentive but not intrusive. Drinks are fairly priced and they have a selection of local ales. Food from the grazing menu was excellent on every front. The notables were the cote du boef which was well worth the £40 charged and the blue Monday dessert which is blue cheese and a honey & ginger pastry. Spent £200 on a meal for two, so not an every week establishment but great for a treat. Definitely would come again as menu changes regularly.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience here last night celebrating a belated anniversary. The food was incredible - our particular favourites were the 4 courses to start and the two desserts, but we weren’t disappointed with even one dish. The service was another highlight, everyone was very attentive and polite, however one of the service staff in particular (I apologise for not remembering her name!) went above and beyond with her drink recommendations, her attitude and conversation, answering any questions we had, and thoroughly helped elevate our experience even more! I cannot wait to come back again to try their different seasonal menus, this has been a real find and I really hope they get their Michelin star soon as they really deserve it. Thank you for such a wonderful and memorable evening!

Our second time here, first time trying the grazing menu. Food was absolutely outstanding. Louis made our experience special and memorable. Sam and Sadie were very efficient too. Totally recommended. Big thank you for our Instagram competition prize.

Absolutely brilliant lunch time visit ! We did 3 courses and it was incredible value - with a few little treats in between and bread to die for.... the service was impeccable and the food quality was top notch. Wonderful restaurant and even added an extra touch for my birthday ! Highly reccomend :)

The most consistent food and service you could hope for anywhere in Nottingham. The team are wonderful, the atmosphere is very chilled and the food is exceptional.

I went here this afternoon with my friend. From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcomed. I always rate a place on it's service, because of a lot of places nowadays do not seem to care. But trust me, they do here. Through the whole meal you never have to want for anything. We decided to have the three course meal. They fill it with lots of little surprises all the way through. We'd had two little mouthfuls of delight before we even had the starter. The meal just went on to be one of best I've had. I like wine and they had a perfect glass to go with every dish. Im going to recommend I know to go here. Its proper classic dining but without the price tag.

On the 1st of November I had the most incredible 40th birthday party at La Rock. Daiva, Nick and all of the staff absolutely blew myself, my husband and all of the guests away with their exceptional standard of service. Now as regular customers we are used to their high standards but with 55 guests, nearly all of which were drinking they made sure everyone was attended to leaving everyone as impressed as we always are. There was never a queue at the bar, the food was incredible and the way they constantly checked in with me to make sure I was enjoying myself and everything was ok just added to the whole experience. I have the most ridiculously long list of foods I have to avoid and this never seems to be a problem. No matter how complex this gets they take it in their stride and serve me with dishes that look as good as every other guests. Their relaxed and calm manner helped when at times the night became quite overwhelming. I really can not recommend them more highly ❤️

This is a really great, new spot! The restaurant itself is spacious and has a very modern, laid-back ambience. The tapas were absolutely delicious and there were a wide variety to choose from that pleased everyone. The cocktail menu was very appealing, I had a White Russian which was the most mouthwatering blend of punchy and creamy, without being overpowering. The staff were super attentive, welcoming and helpful. They ensured that everything was spot on and you can tell they worked well as a team. We never felt awkward asking for something and the service was incredibly efficient. This is a fantastic place for a casual meal with friends or a date night! I wish I had taken more photos of the food to share but I was too busy eating it!

Fantastic Tapas, great choice of dishes to suit all tastes. I had meat but there were plenty of fish and vegetarian ones. Newly refurbished, tasteful, warm & comfy with the music at a level that we could still comfortably chat to our friends. Rich the general manager has a great team. Charlotte the assistant manager does an amazing job together with our service on the evening Kayla & Grace and Ellie & Sophie at the bar. The maple hot toddy I had was amazing. Thanks all. We will be back soon. Would definitely recommend.

I was lucky to be invited to the launch evening. The setting of the restaurant is lovely, downstairs bar with plenty of seating and overlooking the marina, upstairs restaurant with another bar and open kitchen. The selection of drinks especially cocktails were amazing and the presentation lovely. The food was perfect, my personal favourites being the steak, meatballs, and calamari. Shout out to Charlotte who served us all evening, great friendly service, ask her for any recommendations on the menu as she is very knowledgable! Overall a great experience and i will be back!

My boyfriend treated me to a lovely meal here on Valentines Day. I saw the reviews were good here but it was even better than I could have imagined. You employ great staff here which you should be proud of, they were very friendly and attentive which made the experience a really positive one. The food was incredibly good, we were in food heaven! Compliments to the chef! We both had a wonderful evening and hope to return for another date night. 😊

Had a lovely Sunday lunch for my grandparents anniversary. Good and service were very excellent! We had to ask how they cooked the cauliflower as it was very nicely done.

Lovely country pub, fantastic food and great atmosphere you couldn't want better

Great food and very attentive service in this small-town pub. You took great care of us when we visited. Very convenient to Breedon Hall across the street.

Been here a couple of times now and the food, service, and atmosphere have been excellent! Really impressive food for the price point - definitely higher end than your average gastropub. They can get quite busy at wkends but the service was just as friendly and professional as when we went mid week. Doggy friendly too which is always a plus 🐶 My only minor gripe was that the cheesecake was a bit of a miss - overly set and with a soggy bottom - but every other dish we've had there has been bang on. Will definitely be back!

A lovely country pub, in a gorgeous little village, good wine and coffee. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Clean, stylish and comfortable bedroom for an overnight stay.

Me and my wife travelled from Ironbridge Shropshire up to see one of The National Trust places in the area.Calke Abbey. Because we had nearly a two hour drive home, we decided to call into one of the local pubs in the town of Repton. First impression was there was limited parking, so we parked a few streets away in a public car park. But upon entering the pub we realised this was a busy food pub .And, the bar person said they had no availability in the restaurant .But we were able to dine in the bar. We were impressed with the menu. I had the panfried fish, and my wife had the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the vegetables. We can say this was fine dining without it being protentous. Our meals were cooked to perfection. We had dessert too and again they were excellent. We did not stay here in one of the rooms .However, if we are ever up in that part of the world again ,we will definitely call in again.

A lovely traditional village pub. We called in after a visit to Calke Abbey, we weren't sure if food was available but were served some great sandwiches to go with our drinks. A pity we don't live closer!

Favourite pub to visit after a Sunday walk around Calke Abbey. Always a fire in the grate on cold or chilly days. Dogs very welcome.

If you think of the perfect English pub, this is the place. Such lovely owners, not overpriced, cosy, lots of lovely welcoming locals! Love this place!

What a wonderful place for me to enjoy my very 1st pint during my very 1st visit to England!! If you're looking for an AUTHENTIC pub in the UK with all the trimmings (good beer, spirits, atmosphere, and most importantly good people!) then this is the place you must see. I was sad to leave to come back to the states because I loved this place so much

We came here to try the weekday lunchtime carvery after reading good reviews, and we were not disappointed! At £13.50pp it was priced favourably and had a choice of 2 meats although we were informed that it’s usually 1. We went for a mix of pork and beef which was spot on, combined with a Yorkshire pudding,stuffing, roast potatoes, and a great choice of perfectly cooked vegetables, and tasty gravy, made for a cracking meal. The draught Bass was perfect too so all good in my book! Our only gripe was that we were seated near a window and as the weather was hovering around freezing it was a bit cool, but really that is our fault as we couldn’t be bothered to ask to be moved. On our way out we noticed the snug room with a roaring fire so should have gone in there! We will definitely be returning in the near future for another lovely carvery👍 We will certainly be back

I went to this place only for a drink as I was too late for food however, the service was great staff was friendly and so was the pint I shall be going back in the warmer seasons to do a proper review

Not visited for years, we both had dinner the meals were excellent and the staff very friendly and attentive, reasonable we will definitely be back soon for the carvery.

Went here based on reviews & wow wasn’t disappointed. Without a doubt the BEST carvery I’ve ever had!!! Staff all lovely, place itself really nice, will definitely be going back.

Lovely staff and delicious food, thanks for having me!

I was greeted and given a spot for my campervan next to the pub garden to park up; very level and quiet. I had a very friendly welcome and the meal was delicious - seafood linguine with a very rich, creamy sauce. A TV had been installed for the Rugby 6 Nations tournament, and I was told it only comes out for certain sporting events, so I suggest checking if you want to watch something specific.

Pie & mash Monday special, open fire, great service and a good pint!! What more could you ask for. One thing I noticed throughout the pub was the cleanliness, not a sticky table or lipstick covered glass here, the place sparkles, well done!!

Excellent first visit. The Sunday lunch was the best I had eaten in a long time. The cheese board was very enjoyable and the selection of wines and beers was very good. For a cosy country pub this will be hard to beat

The venue is relaxing and the food is nice without doubt. The cocktail I had matching with everything, it surprises me much. All we ordered was tapas and bread, we got pretty chill vibe. Cocktail probably made of whiskey and some smoky air to enhance the sense of aromatic, the taste is fresh as I recalled. Personally, I love the omelette with potatoes and fresh olive, which is not soaked in brine that the waiter told us so. I did feel a bit different and do believe these are fresh and juicy. The black olives are mild, this is the first time I realised black olives are mild indeed. The duck with potatoes stack is a highlight as well, potatoes are creamy but layered, the duck made me feel like cooked with quite a long time to make it tender.

Loved this restaurant. Have been a firm favourite of Lorentes in Derby City for years so knew the food would be amazing but this location ticked all the boxes. Absolutely fabulous

A beautiful hidden gem in Derby! Have had the pleasure of visiting Lorentes in both the summer, sat al fresco by the river and recently this winter, sat in the cosy indoors. The ambience of this place is so lovely and quaint, in a pretty location right by the river and park. It’s difficult to find good tapas in the UK, but this is some of the best I’ve had. Standouts were the sangria, patatas bravas, fried aubergine, the mushrooms and toasted bread. Will be taking many people here ❤️
