The food was absolutely STELLAR and simply the best that we have had anywhere near our home in the Burton area. Indeed it was one of the most memorable and taste-filled meals that I can remember in the MANY restaurants that I have frequented in my 14+ years on Yelp. The very few others that fall into this category was the Raphael in Bath and the former only Michelin starred restaurant in Philadelphia. Wow - nothing short of wow!!!! 6+ stars!!!

I'd heard of the Dovecliff many times as an impressive place to go for a meal, but never actually…read moretaken the plunge to go until a few day's ago. Just outside of Stretton, the Dovecliff Hall Hotel sits in its own substantial grounds, and is accessed by a tree lined lane. The building itself has an impressive grandeur around it, and its feels like you're going somewhere special. We had gone for lunch, arriving slightly early, we were shown through to our table in an impressive conservatory, with a high ceiling. Bathed in midday light, it had a magnificent view of the garden around, mature cedar trees and lavender lined pathways, idyllic. The tables themselves were large round affairs, lots of space between them, and impeccably laid with silver plated cutlery. There were two different lunch menus, the standard menu and the Table D'Hote which was a set price for three courses and coffee. We went for the latter, only three choices per course. For starters there was a dish of seared salmon, but my wife went for the slices of melon and I went for the warm courgette and cheese tart, both light dishes, packed with flavour. For mains there was a vegetarian option (aubergine bake), but my wife went for the fillet of rainbow trout on crushed new potatoes and tomatoes, in a light cream sauce, again a dish packed with perfectly complimenting flavours, and perfect for a light lunch. I had the chicken in a barbecue sauce, with polenta wedges and rocket, it was alright, but the barbecue taste dominated. There was a nice pace to the meal, not too rapid, and no inordinate wait, the staff were excellent, unobtrusive, but friendly. Desserts wise, they were actually more impressive than they sounded on the menu, the chocolate fondant with the poached pears, was lovely, looked heavy, but was surprisingly light. My wife's red berry parfait with raspberry sauce, was equally light and flavoursome. We retired to the bar area for coffee and petit fours, a good way to end the meal. The Dovecliff does look a bit tired in places, but the standard of the food and the general ambiance is difficult to match; I don't think it will be long before we return!

Our Saturday evening started with meeting up with my brother, sister and cousins…read more It was a good meet up before tomorrows family reunion. We managed to book a table at five for the two us. The old Tandor pub was perfect for a real English Pub dinner. The menu was extensive to the degree of variety and the combinations offered before and with the entrees. Thanks chef Jordan. Presentation was perfect and the food was delicious. Beet salad, a grilled asparagus dish to start followed by lamb chops and a kinda crispy chicken breast (airline breast). Finishing with our puddings with the British trio and a bit of sherry trifle. The mini sherry trifle was disappointing being it was mini and I imagined it differently. We we're happily impressed with our experience and hope you find it the sane on your visit too, Cheers Foodguy-martin

Certainly, it is the most stylish option in terms of the overall building and restaurant & bar interior, which are very pleasing. However, as a real ale lover I can't help but notice that the range of hand pumped ales is "Greene King 1-0-1" (Abbot Ale, GK IPA, Old Speckled Hen, etc) - and since I'm in London several times a year, where every other pub is a Greene King, I try to avoid these beers like the plague when travelling in the "countryside". This disappointed me so much that I left for another restaurant in town for lunch - and their beer selection was *worse*. So, at least some real ales on the "menu" - but rather boring ones.

Premier Inn's do what it says on the tin!!…read more This one is located just outside of Burton-On-Trent. It follows the usual set up of no resturant on site but it has a Beefeater located across the car park. My check in was easy enough and the receptionist was polite and awake as I arrived later than I had hoped to. Now my room was on the top floor, I say top but there were only 3 floors so don't get any visions of a penthouse suite. The room was large enough with a double bed and what appears to be a sofa bed, so an ideal room for a small family. The bathroom was clean and modern, as you would expect from this brand. My only gripe with the room was the heat or lack of it. Search as I may I could not locate a radiator or even a heated towel rail in the bathroom. To say the room was cool when what I actually wanted was a warm room would be understating it. Due to the time of night I just wrapped myself up in the duvets provided and went to sleep. When I was leaving in the morning I was asked how was my room and I did tell them it was a little cold for me they said I should have let them know and they would have moved me! If I was staying for more than one short night I would have. So if you are staying here and your room is a little cool let them know and hopefully they will move you.

The Blenheim House hotel and restaurant is just on the outskirts of Etwall. I've probably been to…read morethe Blenheim, virtually every week for the last six years, its a great place to go and relax, have a coffee and the let the troubles of the world melt away. Friendly staff, luxuriant surroundings and décor, also add to the experience. There are comfy sofas and leather chairs in the lounge area, or more traditional tables in the 'snug', which is where we mainly dine; whereas the more formal dining area, has that little bit of elegance for that special occasion. Having been through many incarnations since my original review, it was time for an update. The lunch/lounge menu, consists of dishes like hot and cold sandwiches, with the accompanying sides of dressed salad and the Blenheim's legendary chips, so tasty!; They also do pizzas, themed on cities around the world like Roma, Parma, New Delhi and of course, Derby! There are other dishes like burgers, hot and cold meze platters and the fish of the day. The burger was strangely underwhelming, but the Sea Bream, Salmon or Sea Bass when they are on, are definitely stand out dishes, a perfect balance of flavours. The Blenheim is on the pricey side, but the food on the whole is excellent, a great place to wile away a few hours, in comfortable surroundings.

Here, even though they were getting ready for a 200 person bash - they were friendly and accomodating, even setting a table for us despite our only wanting a bar snack. 5 stars for that! The food was ok - I have a feeling it's actually much better, but I'm letting them off because they were obviously very busy! We were also able to finish our work in the bar; we weren't rushed and didn't feel pressured to go; even the tables being carried past us! xx
