Located in the historic Old Blacksmiths Yard on Sadlergate, The Palfrey is a newly refurbished unique and contemporary restaurant and wine bar, where we aim to provide a relaxed and friendly environment for our customers.
As an independent establishment, passion is at the heart of everything we do. We offer an eclectic mix of food and drink, including a bespoke wine list, signature cocktails and specially created dishes using only the best local ingredients.
Split over two levels, our rustic and industrial bar can be found downstairs with adjacent courtyard for casual dining and drinks, whilst upstairs our inviting restaurant is full of intimate charm and contains the kitchen with an open pass to showcase our delicious food. Why not come and see for yourself the latest addition to Derby’s prospering and vibrant food and drink scene?
Daniel knew he wanted to be a chef from the age of 13 when he first walked into the kitchen! His culinary career began as a Kitchen Porter & when he finished school, he went straight to catering college at New College Nottingham and completed a 3 year diploma! From there his career developed at the Wollaton Pub and Kitchen starting as Commis Chef and within 6 years rising through the ranks to Sous Chef! Daniel likes to play on classic dishes and put his own twist on them, as well as inventing his own dishes and taking inspiration from books to develop his menus! He is a huge fan of local produce and loves working with local suppliers, so he knows he’s getting the best ingredients for his dishes! Daniel began working with us as Senior Sous Chef in October 2018 and has worked his way up to now take on the challenge of working as Head Chef and progress the tasting experience at The Palfrey.
