If we could give this 6 stars we would! This was the highlight of our daughter's trip. The scones…read moreand mocha were amazing. The shop attached was super cute and the staff were very friendly. A shout out to the owner who took the time to come talk to us. If we are ever back in the area, this will be our first stop! Thank you Bottle Kilm!

The Bottle Kiln in West Hallam is a coffee shop/restaurant, with a gallery and two craft shops…read more Parking is available on the gravelled area at the front, with a small overspill area at the back. The gardens that lead you into the Bottle Kiln have an interesting variety of plants, that gives the whole place a feel of peace and tranquility. The Bottle Kiln structure itself houses a variety of display cases that showcase the variety of craft products available in the adjoining shops - cufflinks, necklaces, glassware, sculpture etc, most unique but expensive. The Kiln also has wonderful acoustics and has been used for events like carol concerts. One craft shop is primarily cookware and homeware: pottery, picture frames, christmas decorations etc. The other is more of eclectic mix of jewelry, cards, wedding and christening gifts, and a variety of unusual gifts for Christmas and Birthday presents. However, the coffee shop alone is a reason to visit the Bottle Kiln. A great variety of homemade scones, cakes etc; they have some of the best cheese scones I've ever tasted. A good variety of hot and cold drinks too, the coffee in particular is rich and flavoursome. You can either dine in the main coffee shop, which fills up instantly or the gallery areas below, which showcase local art, too expensive for my budget though! Beware though, this coffee shop is a favourite of many people, so get there just after it opens or you will be disappointed!

Visited, and purchased from this butchers for the first time today. Very impressed…read more We got the £20 BBQ pack, plus a few more bits. Brilliant value for the quality and amount of food we got. It was all lovely and fresh, great marinades. And the couple that served us were lovely. Very reassuring to see they seemed to know all their regular customers by name, that definitely stands for something in my books! Will now be my butchers of choice!

This is not just a butchers..no not at all.. its a very friendly place. Even if we don't walk into…read moreKevin's butcher shop..which isnt very often as its very hard not to walk inside his shop with all of the nice cuts of meat he has with great prices but whether we do or not he always has a smiling friendly face and he puts up a hand and waves when he sees us. He and his wife are well established in Ilkeston and we are proud to support their High street shop.. its well worth it as his meats are just the right price for choice cuts and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my fresh meat!

I use at least once or twice a week for a quick lunch. Hot Roast Pork Cobs are a particular must…read more They have plenty of freshly made sandwiches or you can ask for one to be made. Also serve Jacket Potatoes which are nice.

My favourite kebab shop in Ilkeston! Great burgers and kebabs. Just started doing pizzas but not…read moretried one yet. Also now deliver. My favourite bit is their burger sauce. Mmm.

AWESOME! If I have takeaway at the end of a night out its always Star. Top kebabs, brilliant…read moreburgers and now nice pizzas. They have also started to deliver which is a plus. The staff are really friendly and put up with so much hassle from late night customers who have had a few. Also the burger sauce is ace. Sadly I have bought a whole tube for £5 off them and overdosed on it so having a break now.

Well to be fair, the food was good. It was fresh and tasty but the service was terrible. TERRIBLE!…read moreI met friends in there who had to get their own menus (I was given one though) and it took over half an hour for any one to ask us if we would like drinks, another twenty minutes to ask if we would like food. All in this time we were trying to get the attention of the waiters who were just standing or walking around casually, cleaning the tables when people had left. My main course finally came well passed 9, which seeing as we were since 7 was a bloody long time to wait! I cant remember exactly how it tasted because I was so hungry that I scoffed it all rather quickly. The restaurant was nice, the food was good and the pricing wasnt too expensive but for what your paying you expect the sort of service that was just not delivered! Go there if your not in a rush!

Situated at the very bottom of Bath Street Ilkeston,The Radhuni is a contemporary styled Indian…read morerestaurant, no red flock wallpaper here! I first came across it whilst killing time waiting to pick up my son nearby, and decided to give it a try. I am so pleased that I did, and have frequented the place ever since. Although on my very first visit, I believed my long time favourite dish, lamb bhuna, had far too much garlic, making it taste more like rogan josh, which usually has fried garlic added, this was rectified on my next visit, and has been perfect since (3/4 years) Each dish that I have since had, has never failed to please, although on a couple of occasions the lamb used was a little on the tough side, but so far since, that problem has never recurred. I have dined alone, and with my family, and have never had a bad meal there, the one exception to that is mentioned last paragraph. Beers are Cobra and a "normal " lager on draught, and various bottled beers, wine and spirits are in good supply. One amazing thing about the place, is that since I first dined here, there has never been an increase in price, meaning that at the time of writing, a main course dish costs from around £4.20, a good deal less than half the price you would pay for a similar dish in Nottingham's Curry Capital, Maid Marian Way,sundries are similarly great value, plus a take away discount of 20% I believe (please verify) The waiting staff are courteous and friendly, but as with any popular restaurant, things can get a little hectic when the place is full. Weekday evenings are less busy, but Friday and Saturdays are immensely popular, and most of the time it is hard to get a reasonably early time slot for a table without pre booking. There is on street parking outside and up the road, plus a cctv car park opposite All in all, I would highly recommend The Radhuni.
