Welcome to The Silk Mill
Real Ales, Artisan Ciders and Cutting Edge British Cuisine
Our British menu takes influence from all four corners of the British Isles, embracing ideas and techniques from Victorian London dining to 70’s retro steak houses, the great British seaside holiday and remote Derbyshire villages where we found long lost family recipes. Accompanied with craft ales and artisan ciders from national and local producers you’d be silly not to pop on by – on the edge of Derby city centre right within the historic Cathedral Quarter.

Best soup ever!
Came to derby to see a band and stopped here for lunch. Menu looked good. Lots of options and I’m vegetarian. Ordered a baguette and soup. Husband had burger. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived but still a bit of a wait so allow time if you’re starving. Didn’t realise how filling baguette would be ! Burger was delicious but the best bit was the butternut squash soup. Best thing ever!!!! Probably not the cheapest in town but you get what you pay for and everything was quality so all in all quite reasonable.
