A trio of sharing plates on stylish ceramic plates at Derby's Engine Room restuarant

our drive

We were driven to bring social, relaxed, refined dining to the heart of Derby. Our chefs have been crafting a menu of sharing plates, grilled meats, delectable pizzas and elegant desserts while our interiors experts have been creating a stylish, industrial-chic space.

The Engine Room restaurant and bar arrives in Derby very soon with bold flavours, an industrial vibe, and an easy-going approach to service. The Engine Room is all about great food shared with great company.

our Food

The main menu at The Engine Room is packed with bold, seasonal dishes perfect for grazing with friends or diving into solo. Start with small plates like crispy pork crackling puffs or gooey mac ‘n’ cheese balls, ideal for passing around the table. Our hand-stretched pizzas and generous charcuterie board are made for grazing, while the grill takes centre stage with standout options like our juicy cheeseburger, smoky bavette steak with chimichurri, and the showstopping ribeye with bone marrow butter. Finish with an indulgent pudding such as sticky toffee pudding or our standout strawberry Eton mess. With plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, everyone’s welcome at the table. Our drinks list features delicious cocktails, a standout wine selection, and plenty of beers, ciders and spirits that perfectly pair with the food.

Our breakfast buffet is served bright and early every morning. Or why not join us for lunch and enjoy delicious panini, sandwiches and poke bowls, or just take time out to enjoy a coffee, with beans from local coffee makers 200 Degrees?

The Engine Room isn’t just a restaurant - it’s a place to gather, share, and savour every bite. With its urban style, a shareable menu, and a laid-back but polished approach to service, we’re creating a spot where people want to come back again and again.
