  “We had booked a table for 10 on a really busy Saturday. Then one extra turned up but they were happy to accommodate and gave us some room all to ourselves which was perfect. Food very reasonably priced and very good standard. Thoroughly enjoyed by all. Don't want to recommend it too highly because I don't want tables not to be available when we want to go again 😂”

  “Very good Sunday lunch (the Bird and the Beast is a massive platter for 2 to share and you will not leave hungry!) the decor has been updated and upgraded from the photo on Google maps. Nice staff, great quality food and good range of drinks on offer.”

  “Overall the Sunday lunch was very good. Loved the beets and the cheesy leeks. Can also recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Only two things that let it down for me was the 'proper' Yorkshire pudding. Proper dry and tough. And the near hour wait from arriving to getting the food. I would say it's probably best to book an early slot. Otherwise the service was friendly and efficient and overall a lovely meal. Would go again.”

  “A great pub and one we always enjoy stopping at. The food is proper, hearty pub grub, with generous portions and plenty of choice. There’s also a good selection of drinks, so there’s something for everyone. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. My wife and I regularly use it as a stopping-off point when we’re travelling to and from London or Europe, and it’s become a place we look forward to visiting. Highly recommended if you’re looking for good food, good drinks and a genuinely friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”

  “If you're in Derby and looking for proper pub food, the Silk Mill is well worth a visit. I went for the Pie³, which lets you choose three different mini pies, and it's such a great idea if, like me, you struggle to pick just one. Every pie was packed with flavour, with perfectly crisp pastry and generous fillings. It's proper comfort food done really well, and the portion size is more than enough to leave you satisfied. To go with it, I had a pint of Ay Up Duck, which was excellent. It's a smooth, refreshing beer with plenty of flavour without being too heavy, and it paired perfectly with the pies. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with that classic pub feel that's ideal whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for a meal. The staff were friendly and the whole experience felt relaxed from start to finish. I'll definitely be back. Between the fantastic Pie³, a great pint of Ay Up Duck, and the inviting atmosphere, it's easy to see why the Silk Mill is such a popular spot in Derby.”

  “ok pub part of the Exeter group & with well kept beers & a 1/2 decent menu. Seating is well laid out, with some outside benches & the pub has a qwerky feel. Worth dropping in, for beers, not so much for food”

  “A friendly welcome from the chap that was behind the bar. This is a traditional pub serving good quality pub meals and snacks. I can recommend the chicken bbq chip bucket! We will certainly return to try the other food on the menu. It’s dog friendly too!”

  “Excellent place for a quiet beer and a bite to eat. Wide selection of beers etc. and a decent selection of nosh. Close to the city centre but just off the beaten track. Spotlessly clean,friendly,helpful staff and a lovely laid back atmosphere with some decent background music wafting around. There’s an outside beer garden type place with a smoking shelter that could be mistaken for a sauna ! Well worth a visit.”

  “Excellent pub! I visited here on a Saturday evening with my wife as we were staying at the Premier Inn a few minutes walk away, after watching a show at The Vaillant. So from a location perspective it’s excellent and it’s with a short walking distance of the locations mentioned above and is an excellent choice if you’re not wanting to be in very busy and lively city centre pubs. The staff here were super attentive, friendly and efficient. The pub has an excellent outdoor area, spacious and well laid out. The inside of the pub looks really nice, good decor, clean, plenty of seating available. Good choice of drinks and bar snacks, we didn’t eat here so cannot comment on any food offering. Prices were as expected for a city pub of this standard. Toilets were clean despite the number of customers. My wife made a point of telling me that the ladies was spotless and had sanitary items available for free which she was very impressed about.”
