Darleys
We are a multi-award-winning restaurant with a beautiful waterfront location in Derby. We offer you classic British and European dishes with a modern twist, within a 200-year old former mill building: Darley Abbey Mills. We also have two outdoor terraces so if you prefer, you can enjoy al-fresco drinks overlooking the River Derwent prior to your dining experience.

We're open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day except Monday and Tuesday. We have already mentioned above that Onlinecasino61 offers its customers the opportunity to play games of chance in free version. True, almost all the titles of well-known developers are available in demo mode. You may wonder why playing without real money if it does not bring any gains.
Services
We have a beautiful waterfront location in Darley Abbey Mills, part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Our building is special: it's over 200 years old and during the industrial revolution, it housed the staff canteen for a thriving cotton mill. Today, it continues to be a place to come for delicious food and drink with friends, family and colleagues.
Any dietary requirements must be disclosed prior to your visit so that we can cater to you appropriately. You can do this by using the comments section of your booking or by emailing the restaurant directly. If dietary requirements are not disclosed at least 24 hours before your visit, we cannot guarantee that they will be accommodated.
To uphold the Darleys standard and ensure that you have the best experience possible, we do not offer terrace dining. However, we offer all guests the opportunity to have drinks on the terrace before and after dinner. Please let us know your preference in the comments section of your booking, or alternatively, communicate your wishes to the hostess on arrival.
At Darleys, we serve classic British and European dishes with a modern twist. From English sparkling breakfasts, to great value lunches and 'special occasion' evening meals. We have been awarded 2 AA rosettes for culinary excellence and are listed in the Michelin Guide 2020. Our Executive Chef, Chris Marshall, has over 19 years' experience and has worked at Michelin-guided restaurants before.
Our reservation and enquiry line is open Monday to Friday, between the hours of 11:00 & 15:00. If you wish to make a reservation for a large group, please email groupbookings@darleys.com. We have nine car parking spaces directly outside our restaurant. If these are full, please park respectfully in Darley Abbey village or if it's evening time, you can park elsewhere in the Darley Abbey Mills complex.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in such a great location. The view from the outside balcony is top notch and worth a visit with a nice drink before or after your meal. The food is excellent in taste and presentation with local produce used where possible. A few more low/non alcohol beers on the list would have been nice for me personally but no big deal. Definitely planning to go back soon.

We had the taster menu and every course was delicious. The staff were also so friendly and accommodating. We had a stunning view of the river which was the icing on the cake.

I wrote a bad review due to bad service & poor food - restaurant tried to claim that I didn’t eat there. I’ve attached a photo of the meal I ate in September , very bland and over priced.
Manager was very rude
I would not recommend .

Lovely food! Such a nice experience. Staff are very friendly and more than happy to help.
Only thing stopping it being 5 is that the bar staff can't seem to get a drink right.
Order was vodka tonic and lime cordial.
The variations I got were vodka tonic and lime slices. Then vodka and half a glass of lime cordial no tonic. And finally vodka soda and lime. Gave up and had brandy and coke in the end.
