Darley's, Derby...again

We are on holiday this week. Today we went to Derby to see Mary's mother. For lunch we returned to Darley's, a place we have been many times, but not so often since moving to Yorkshire. We'd forgotten just how comfortable it is - there's plenty of room between tables, and the tablecloths, serviettes and cutlery give a sense of elegance and luxury.

Mary's Goat's Cheese Pannacotta with Beetroot Jelly (right middle) was probably the highlight, but the caramel sauce with the pork belly (top left) ran it very close. I had Smoked Duck Pastrami (bottom left),  followed by Chicken Breast with Colcannon and Cavallo Nero (bottom right). I also had a dessert, the iced parfait with red berries (top right).

It was all beautifully cooked and presented, and service was extremely efficient. Mary drank tea, I had a glass of cider. It was a lovely lunch for £52.
