Roosters Bar Ilkeston DE7 6DG

"Turned up here after our intended venue disappointed...and Rooster's saved our night out - it was great! John at the bar was very professional and friendly and after telling him of our disappointing start to the night he sorted a table for us no problem and we had good food and drink. Staff were attentive and friendly, food was great - no complaints at all! Thank you, we will be back!"

"My friend & I had a table booked, & we were soon shown to our table. We were not rushed to order drinks or food, but once ordered, both arrived quite promptly. We each ordered a jacket potato, which was a good size, mine came with some butter, & a pot of grated cheese, & a pot of coleslaw. It was very tasty, & just enough to satisfy the hunger pangs.!"

"First time we'd been here for a while. A family get together for Christmas. Nice atmosphere. The place was full of similar groups. Prices had gone up quite a lot since last visit. Family had 1 chicken nuggets (child), 3 steak and ale pie. All good. 1 jacket potato with cheese. Sadly potato was cold so the cheese did not melt, so marked the food score down for this and the high prices. All in all "just ok"."

"Meet up with family for Sunday lunch, their first visit .They say how lucky we are to have such a great restaurant on our doorstep. Can't fault it."

"Had lunch at Roosters to celebrate daughter's day 2022. It was an amazing experience overall. The menu is varied and there are the pub classics as well as Morley Hayes specials. The prices are understandable given the standard of the restaurant and the food itself. There are plenty vegan, GFO and vegetarian options available. The drinks and desserts are also available in ample quantity. There's plenty of seating space indoors and outdoors and a lovely view of the golf course from the floor to ceiling windows. The ambiance of the bar is no less than that of a £££ fine dining restaurant. And of course there’s plenty of parking spaces. The food was delicious beyond expectations. We ordered Morley Hayes special, vegan burger, Korean Style fried chicken burger and chicken kebabs for the mains and it was (lip-smackingly) delicious. The serving size is great (much more than the standard expensive restaurants). We also ordered garlic bread to go with our drinks - orange marmalade G&T, beer, lemonade and coke - which was like any homemade garlic bread. The real deal was the dessert - sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. It is our family’s tradition to order this particular dessert at every restaurant. The STP at Roosters was simply a beauty - in our top 3 list. The staff is professional, kind, and welcoming. We requested our mains to be served 1/2 hour after our drinks and they made that happen. Therefore, it was a great experience and we left with happy faces and tummies!! Definitely recommend if you want to treat yourselves."
