About Hen & Chickens Derby

Hen & Chickens Derby is a bar and grill in Derby, at 2 Queensferry Gardens, serving sizzlers alongside Punjabi-style Indian curries. The mix grill is the centrepiece for sharing, and a veggie version means vegetarians in a group can order the same dish. Breads include a chilli and cheese naan to go with the curries. The drinks list runs from mango lassi to mocktails and cocktails, so the table can pair a meal with something soft or something mixed. The restaurant is open daily.

Customer Review Summary

The mix grill is what most reviewers come for, with diners calling the signature mix grill juicy, tender and smoky, and a group of about 20 each ordering a grill, including a veggie one. The desi Punjabi chicken curry, mushroom rice and a chilli and cheese naan also draw praise, along with a house-made pickle tray, salt and pepper chips and masala sauce. Several note food arriving quickly even when busy, and describe the staff as friendly and knowledgeable about dishes and drinks. Cocktails are called excellent and beautifully prepared, and a few mention fair pricing and large portions. The critical reviews are specific. One Valentine's Day diner found the grill mix undercooked with raw masala on top, felt rushed by servers pushing drinks, and says a promised complimentary Prosecco was denied. Another reports half-boiled gobi manchurian in oily sauce. One reviewer describes being served a pineapple mocktail despite an allergy, getting a mild reaction, and still finding the drink on the bill. One owner-like figure gave a child a free ice cream after a dropped drink.

    “They were very accommodating on giving us a table with no booking. Car park was exceptionally tight to manoeuvre around. Service was very bad - we weren't asked about allergies when we sat down. I ordered one of the mocktails from their menu, they served me the wrong one which had pineapple in, which I'm allergic to. I had never been here before so had taken a sip before realising what was in it. Informed the waitress who did apologise and got the drink remade. Kept asking if I wanted to get a manager over, which to be honest I didn't really need one over as I didn't want to cause a scene, but how shady the waitress was being about not proactively calling one made me question if they ever told the manager about the incident. Food came out quick and was reasonably tasty. It was nothing special, but was yummy. Naan was a little crispy for my liking, I prefer a fluffy naan. Food wasn't at all spicy, even when labelled as very hot, which is to be expected but was sad. Mango lassi had a lot of rose water in, so wouldn't order if you're not a fan. Even after serving me a drink in error they never asked about other allergens (for the food order I placed after). Didn't even remove the drinks from the bill even after giving me a mild allergic reaction. After all of that, the waitress still asked if we wanted to tip for good service. Lol.”

    “I highly recommend this place! Booking a table was quick and hassle-free, and even adding one more person at the last minute wasn't a problem at all. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious, and we didn't have to wait long for our meals. The cocktails were excellent and beautifully prepared. The restaurant is very clean, well maintained, and has a stylish, modern interior that creates a great atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back! ❤️”

    “First time last night, we went with our family. The food was superb and our waitress Angel and another lovely young women who's name I didn't catch were superb, friendly professional and knowledgeable of the dishes and the drinks on offer. They made us feel at home. We will be back. We all had different dishes and all of them came in quick time even though it was really busy. Many thanks guys”
