Called at Lisa Jean for lunch whilst in Derby. I had booked but you may not need to mid week as the restaurant is a reasonable size.It is situated on the first floor of Bennettâs department store, some tables have a view down onto the shop floor if you like people watching!!The lunch menu comprises sandwiches, salads, all day brunch options plus classics such as fish & chips, risotto, pasta. I chose the omelette, my partner the fish & chips. Both were cooked to order (we could actually see the dishes being prepared in the open kitchen) and beautifully presented. We shared a piece of the homemade cake of the day (chocolate marble) which was delicious, I would love to try the afternoon tea if this was anything to go by. Possibly a little pricey at £35 for two mains, a piece of cake, three coffees & a ginger beer but the standard of the food warranted it in my opinion. Service was excellent as well. Highly recommended.

Booked an afternoon tea as a birthday present for today & it was perfect. Personal service by lovely lady who looked after us. The food was faultless . I picked here because I liked the idea of a sweet & savoury afternoon tea & no sandwiches & it ticked every box . The location is brilliant as we browsed the shop both before & after. Because they only serve the afternoon tea on specific days & times it means you are not rushed .. everything is fresh & you are made to feel very special . I had visited The bottle kiln before for light lunches & would thoroughly recommend it.

First visit and very impressed.Lovely varied menu. My Daughter had the croque monsieur and I had the goats cheese open sandwich. Well presented and really tasty. Good choice of breads. The tea timer was a brilliant idea of the perfect time to let my tea brew. Daughter said her coffee was perfect.Lovely setting. Great atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive. Thank-you for the wonderful review, we're happy to see you had a lovely time and hope to see you again.
