Old Black Horse
Main St, Mapperley, IlkestonWe recently visited The Old Black Horse at Mapperly, and it was absolutely fantastic, with excellent service and a lovely feel to the place.
This is a truly stunning country pub, delivering tasty, high quality food.
It was our first time here for dining, and we had reserved a table in the dog friendly garden room for a birthday meal. If you would prefer to eat away from dogs (why would you though?) the restaurant dining area itself doesn't allow our four legged friends inside.
The pub itself is really beautifully presented with traditional features, and the staff were so incredibly friendly and polite. We felt very welcome.
We thoroughly enjoyed some lovely cider and delicious cold beer. The house wine was great too.
The food was amazing, with generous portions that were both delicious and satisfying, really reflecting high quality. We even treated ourselves to a delicious griddle cookie for desert, which was lovely.
The outdoor spaces are a real highlight. The beautiful, well kept garden is full of stunning flowers, creating a really picturesque, relaxed setting.
There are plenty of seating areas outside, including a very comfortable smoking area with outdoor sofas!
We were particularly impressed by how incredibly dog friendly it is, especially with the pub including a dining area where our furry friends are truly welcome. Our tiny terror loved it!
Will we go back? Most definitely!
A huge thank you to the wonderful staff for such a truly memorable experience!

Raheem Indian Restaurant & Takeaway
Unit B, The Dales, West Hallam, IlkestonThe best Indian restaurant in the Ilkeston area. The second time we have been since the extension and with our 2 year old daughter. The food was absolutely incredible and service even better. They have been so kind and have made such a fuss of our daughter both times, including playing with her and giving her a treat at the end. Every member of staff is brilliant such kind people, can not recommend this place enough. :)

The Mallard
Heanor Rd, IlkestonSo sorry for late review! Had our civil ceremony 'after' here in August and it was AMAZING! Nothing was too much trouble from arranging the marquee, preordering different food for our guests so everyone had what they wanted - all delicious including the carvery that a few of our guests went up for. So attentive tableside, bringing drinks out even though it was a busy Saturday with the inflatables out for the kids. Special mention to Yvonne who was disappointed not to be able to dress up as a Klingon with us. Thank you to all of the team that day for taking such good care of us and putting up with Ryans questions beforehand!! You all made our day thank you xxxxxx

Little Elfs Kitchen
15 Granby St, IlkestonLittle Elf Steak Pie - A proper comfort classic.
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional steak pie from Little Elf Kitchen and Cafe on Granby Street Ilkeston, and it didn’t disappoint. The pastry was golden, crisp on the top, and beautifully flaky without being dry or overworked. The real star, though, was the filling – generous chunks of tender beef, slow-cooked until meltingly soft, in a rich but not swimming in, savoury gravy that had real depth of flavour. It struck a perfect balance between seasoning and that comforting, homely feel.
I had the pie with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery peas, and a touch of gravy on the side – a classic combo that elevated the experience. This pie was packed with filling which took the pie from excellent to outstanding.
All in all, a hearty, satisfying dish that delivered on both taste and tradition. I’d happily have this meal again.

The order arrived perfectly. I wanted to say thank you to Riven who left a hand written note on the order and took the initiative to substitute an out of stock item. It might be not be a huge deal, but it showed to me great care and thought being put in and things like that deserve recognition because I bet I'm not the only customer to have had a good experience from Riven.
Thank you kindly.
