Bennetts Tearoom

I started off feeling a little bit miff off with Bennett regarding tracking of my package. Was a birthday present so there was a added anxiety. But the communications between Debbie threw email was top notch. It was actually parcelforce that didn't provide me with tracking until they delivered the item an I received it an 9.20 pm. The package was wrapped great the box inside an wrapping was a perfect example of care I will definitely be ordering from bennets again was a great experience an I was even more impressed when the item arrived. Great work from the staff at Bennetts. Massive thank you.

Had champagne breakfast as a birthday/retirement celebration, and what a treat! Our table was reserved and when we arrived it had a birthday balloon with celebration table confetti and 2 handmade greeting cards - what a lovely touch. The service was excellent throughout the 5 courses. Champagne and a glass of orange juice made up the first course and after seeing the extensive menu, we all opted for a liquid 2nd course; delicious breakfast cocktail (thoroughly recommended). Anyone managing to complete the full English deserves a medal! Buttermilk pancakes with ice cream and strawberries, with a pot of tea completed one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten. I have already recommended it to friends. Hopefully it wont be too long before I am back.

Amazing store which is like stepping back in time. Really helpful and knowledgeable staff and a vast range over a slightly sprawling layout. This is not their fault because it's the old building where they had to use every nook and cranny to show their products. However they carry some truly high-end items that I don't think you'll be able to find elsewhere in Derby so absolutely worth a visit.

To eat in the brasserie restaurant, Lisa Jean's, in Bennett's is to imagine yourself on an Art Deco Ship such as the Normandie in its heyday. The oval room with its beautiful ceiling, coving and strainless steel balustrading really does evoque that epoch. I've previously only had Sunday lunch there which was delicious but today we were invited along by friends to enjoy the champagne breakfast. They'd already told us how fabulous it was but even so we were pleasantly surprised. The kedgeree was the most delicious I have ever had and I can't wait to return to have it again! The menu choice is phenomenal and everything we had was executed beautifully. One wouldn't expect to find this level of attention to detail, delicious food and excellent service in what has become a backwater of Derby and I would encourage anyone who enjoys things done in style to avoid the food courts and chain restaurants that pepper our shopping centres and visit Lisa Jean's. You won't be disappointed.

A real treasure. Beautiful independent department store, in a beautiful part of the city. They stock, fashion items, cosmetics, kitchen and cooking equipment, house hold furniture, fabrics, and gardening tools, literally a one stop shop! The cafe looks really nice too although I didn't eat there. The staff that I spoke with were truly lovely. Support this site with your money!!
