Duffield may be a small village, but it delivers a surprisingly strong food and drink scene. Set on the banks of the River Derwent and just a few miles north of Derby, the village and its surrounding area offer a great mix of cosy cafés, traditional pubs, and bistros serving something a little more special.
We’ve personally visited every venue featured on this page and only include places we’d happily recommend. That means you can explore Duffield’s food scene with confidence — and perhaps discover a new favourite along the way.
Food is served daily, from light lunches and early evening dishes to fine cuisine, with Sunday lunches offered throughout the day, renowned for their presentation.
