Lorentes – Darley Abbey

You're heading out to Darley Abbey, which honestly most Derby folk forget exists beyond the riverside walks. But the Cotton Yard has become a proper destination—it's that converted mill space with actual character, all exposed brick and industrial bones. Lorentes fits right in: unfussy Spanish restaurant that takes its food seriously without the pretension. The menu moves between proper tapas and more substantial plates, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with seasonal ingredients and technique.
