Great birthday lunch. Friendly welcome, clean and tidy, lovely decor and atmosphere. Excellent food, excellent gluten free menu. Food came with a flag on it to ensure I got the right meal.

Our server Shannon was lovely, we informed her that our two year old daughter had a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating towards that and provided amazing service throughout. We ordered some chicken but as informed by Shannon it was a bad batch so she didn’t want us eating something that she wouldn’t so recommended we ordered something different. This was amazing customer service and made our whole experience better.

Excellent gluten free food available, great choice. I had pork belly with roast vegetables and it was superb. Creme Brulee with raspberry sorbet (home made) was heaven too. Virtually everything is gluten free so coeliacs can relax and enjoy their dining experience. Highly recommended (I say that reluctantly as I'd like to keep it secret 😊 it's that good).

Sharon Massey

Really enjoyed the attentive service, atmosphere and my gluten free, vegetarian meal plus drinks! Thank you Beth and everyone else for a lovely night after a long day at work

Tabitha Morgan-Earp

Really great cafe for gluten free options. I’m not 100% sure where the name came from as there really wasn’t many books? But overall the atmosphere was quirky and cosy. I ordered the bhaji sandwich on the online ordering option. There was no option to make it gluten free apart from the notes section but the waitress was happy to swap it and it came out with a GF bun, the food itself was really tasty

Me and my wife are regulars at Nando’s as my wife is ceoliac and she know they have have gluten free there and always orders the same thing. This evening we went to Nados, Intu in Derby and were seated promptly which was good. However, when my wife went to order our food (which she had to being coeliac) the person taking orders informed his manager of my wife’s allergy to which she sighed and rolled her eyes before she took our order. My wife said that the manager didn’t seem to be listening properly while taking our order details and managed to get my order wrong (although this was corrected before the food arrived). However, after eating we got home and my wife has felt ill and believes she may have been glutened and hasn’t eaten anything other than the Nando’s today.

Probably the worst gluten-free pizza I’ve ever had! My husband’s standard margarita pizza wasn’t much better. Really expect better from Pizza Express. ☹️

Natalie Ordish

Fantastic place! Dog friendly and lots of vegan and gluten free options! I don't personally drink coffee but my boyfriend said it was really nice. The nicest hashbrowns I have ever eaten!

Skylea Green

The place was refurbished around a year ago and has got a whole new lease of life. New menu and new team of staff - lovely environment. I was excited to hear that the beers change regularly and that there's always something new to try plus the site has a wonderful new menu which includes an entire Gluten Free Menu and an entire Vegan Menu. Highly recommend.

Petra Bharwani

Usually I would comment on just the food, but on this visit I would like to give massive praise to Eden who was waiting for the 1st time and totally smashed it there's nothing more he could of done for us he went over and over and above with a fun and friendly attitude. Even stayed after his shift had finished to complete our journey. Also dealt well with order of gluten free and vegetarian. A great 40th birthday meal. I hope to be served again soon by this lovely young man

Great pub and food, the menu is extensive and has plenty of gluten free possibilities, which is great. Very quick efficient and attentive service, our food was brought out quickly, all four getting our food at the same time. The food tasted good too.

Janet Ireland

Lovely clean restuarant with friendly and efficient staff. They serve Gluten free sandwiches too. All the food is fresh and very tasty.

Katie Selyanina

Beautiful restaurant, amazing service and delicious and very unique food. Also an amazing place for anyone gluten free as most of the dishes on the menu are gluten free and delicious. And had kids chicken nuggets and fries and even they were fresh and delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

Had been for dinner with family with one of us being gluten free, the food was bit of a hit and miss. The gluten free main course was a pasta dish chosen from the set menu , the pasta was a bit undercooked and didn't really gel with the sauce in which it was cooked. I had the chicken milanese which was essentially a breaded slice of chicken with tomatoes on the side and bowl of salad with cheese , the chicken was too crispy and dry, didn't really enjoy it and wouldn't recommend . The dishes which I liked were the mushroom soup which was really good and the tiramisu dessert. We went on a Tuesday so essentially the restaurant was deserted being mid week , probably would have had a better vibe on the weekend.

Ix Only Jude 125

Really great place with fantastic, well priced menu. Something for everybody, including gluten free options. Suited 2 teenagers, spoilt for choice. Great offers on products. Option to order on the app. Service was really fast & very friendly. Food tasty and piping hot. 5* all the way!!

Carole

Wonderful museum in a very special building, the old Silk Mill. Nicely spread out with lifts for those less mobile. One of the only museums I've visited dedicated to the industrial past of a town or city. Definitely quite unique and fascinating. Worth a visit. The Cafe is excellent too and caters for gluten free coeliacs like myself.

Paul Turner

My Premier Inn of choice in the Derby area. Perhaps smaller than the average Premier Inn but a really friendly and helpful team. The restaurant is small, so be sure to be quick to book a table to avoid any disappointment. No problems with providing me a gluten free evening meal and breakfast either. Make sure to remember to check your car in as well as there’s a QR code to scan and pay for parking. Residents at the hotel don’t pay, but you must use the iPad at the reception desk to enter your registration number. Special word of mention to Chloe as well. Super helpful and I’m really grateful. A large national chain with a personal touch here at Derby East. Thank you to Chloe and the rest of the team.

Clive Jones

highly recommended, attentive friendly and helpful service. Food great and they even do gluten free naan bread .

Our Worldschooling Family

The best restaurant in derby. So great to have a restaurant with a wide variety of healthy delicious meals. There are so many vegan and gluten-free options. We love being able to choose the size of our bowl (which means the kids can have the right size for them) and then choose from proteins, hot options, sides and the massive salad bar. We highly recommend their falafel, potato wedges and coleslaw. We will be going many more times! Service is quick and everyone’s really friendly.

13/08/24- im guessing he was a manager who served us for food at bottomless, I didn’t catch his name. He catered for my Celiac disease. He was incredible and told me the food was made in a separate fryer and he said he made sure the staff cleaned the kitchen , which made me feel so at ease. Need more servers like him! Thank you:)

Natalie Ordish

I'm celiac, they always take it very seriously and you can see the staff changing gloves before handling my food. Bit expensive but worth it for the peace of mind

Really enjoyed my time there, i always do! The food was great, we got a big sharing platter which had a great selection. Some improvements could be to provide a gluten free alternative to the bread at the start of the meal, and the pina colada drink i had was very watered down, needs improving! Will definitely come again, the man who runs the desk was very kind!

Kelly Henderson

We came on recommendation from a work colleague. Celebrating their 20th birthday the menu was very paired down and it was 3 courses for £20. The restaurant is an old cinema with a curved ceiling, coving and beautiful lighting. I had the hot chili fish, which if it had been polite to do so, I would have licked the plate. Outstanding dish and I will go back for this dish alone. He had the vegetable plater containing pakora, bhaji, grilled spiced veg and the wonderful earthy paneer. For mains we shared a lamb desi and chicken makhani. Served with rice and naan. Time for my happy dance because they did me a gluten free naan. Although the chicken was decent, spiced well and good thick sauce it paled into insignicance against the deep savouriness of the lamb. Enough heat to make your nose run but not so much you were ordering a gallon of milk. Utterly devine, when we go back I won't be sharing. On top of the 3 courses we were given a sorbet to cleanse our palate and desert of gulab Jasmin with ice cream. What a treat! The staff are fabulous, friendly and rightly proud of food done well. It is rare you mention gluten free and every staff member is aware. Neither of us could manage any more and it was a shame some went to waste. If you visit take my recommendation of the hot chili fish or paneer, you won't be disappointed. 💖

Decent pub with choice of beers. Looks popular with diners and offers a gluten free menu - a huge bonus for Coeliac sufferers. Worth a visit

First visit here and definitely won't be our last! Lovely, quiet, relaxing vibe with gentle piano music playing in the background. Gorgeous food, takes a while to arrive but that's because everything is freshly cooked to order. Oodles of choice on the menu, really didn't know what to have so will have to go back to try other options! Lots of veggie and vegan options and several meals are gluten free. Try the Thai pancakes for dessert, just completely delicious.

Simon King

Good food and gluten free menu. Using the Wethersooons app means it's so easy. The mixed grill is ace.

Had an 80th birthday party at Italian Cucina in July 2023, the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the food was perfect. The food was so amazing that we decided to use them for a home catering family event which was very short notice, Manju and the team were incredibly accommodating to dietary requirements including gluten intolerances. The food arrived hot, on time and was a mix of mixed grill, Indian curries and pizza. All of the guests commented on how amazing the food was. We would definitely order from Italian Cucina again and recommend them for anyone to use in the future. Thank you to the whole team. Jay

Regularly have breakfast here. Great choice, gluten free catered for and really nice and helpful staff.

Mirk Robinson

A wonderful hidden gem of a cafe/bar. Licensed, is only open until mid afternoon most days. The food is freshly prepared, with Gluten free, Vegan options. Worth seeking out as is hidden on a small industrial estate. Superb coffee and friendly staff. If you are served by Esme you will be well looked after. Enjoy. M
