The Pepperpot is amongst the best restaurants in Derby. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is good and the food! Well! The food is excellent, tasty, well presented and of the highest quality. The lunch menu is not extensive but has something for everyone.
We've been twice now and the experience the second time was better than the first. The next time we visit will be for brunch, the menu looks extra good.

Good food but lacks a little refinement both in food and service. Needs more space between courses and not serve amuse-bouche and the next course at the same time for example.

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The ambience was elegant yet inviting?soft lighting, refined décor, and a quiet buzz of contented diners that set the perfect tone for the evening.
The service was nothing short of exceptional. Every staff member was attentive without being intrusive, effortlessly anticipating needs before they were spoken. Their professionalism and warmth elevated the experience from pleasant to truly memorable.
Each course was a masterpiece. The ingredients were clearly of the highest quality, prepared with remarkable care and creativity. Every bite told a story of balance and flavor?rich yet delicate, innovative yet comforting. The presentation was artful, the seasoning precise, and the timing flawless.
The wine pairing complemented each dish beautifully, and the dessert was the perfect finale?light, flavorful, and presented with finesse.
This restaurant is the embodiment of fine dining done right: impeccable service, exquisite cuisine, and an atmosphere that makes you feel both special and at home. A visit here isn?t just a meal?it?s an experience to be savored and remembered.

1st visit to Pepperpot.My daughters, got me a Champagne Breakfast Gift card.
What a great venue part of the old hospital.
We were met by a warm,friendly staff.
After being shown to our table,in a beautifully decorated restaurant, we ordered our Breakfast.Forbishers orange juice was served with a lovely, perfectly chilled in a nice Champagne glass. ? There was so much choice for 3 course menu and coffee.
The only feedback I would give that I didn't like and I appreciate this is my personal taste,was the perfect poached egg was served on a small piece of fried bread.I hate fried bread,so a hash brown would have been better.The bacon was well done and I prefer less done.I think hash brown or fried bread and a question of how you like your bacon would be good.
Coffee was lovely, attentive friendly staff and personal message on postcard of local Artist was well received.
Good cocktail ? menu and bar with breakfast cocktail available ?.
At under £30 this is great value.
We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

I took my mum to the Pepperpot for brunch for an 80th birthday treat. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the decor and ambience in the restaurant was perfect. Mum got a complimentary glass of prosecco and a birthday card which was a lovely touch. I can't wait to visit again!

We had a lovely time at the Pepper Pot. Straight away we was welcomed with a smile. Our host was Luke. He was lovely and made sure we knew what sides went well with each dish and what drinks would go with our food. He made sure we had everything we needed and if everything was ok, nothing was too much for him. We were really impressed with our food. I had the duck and my sister had the lamb dish. Both were superb. We also had a lovely starter of soup which was amazing it had truffle in it as well which complimented the cauliflower soup so well. From start to finish the whole experience was lovely. Something we've never had before in Derby. The building and what they have achieved is simply amazing. We will definitely be back. Thanks Luke, you made it even better.
