Bradmans is a wine tasting room and cellar in Duffield run by father and son John and Tom Morris. Tastings stay relaxed and welcoming, with guidance in plain English, not wine jargon.

Thursdays are steak night (6:00 PM to 9:00 PM). Ideal for a catch up, a celebration, or trying new bottles without squinting at supermarket labels.

BIZ BITE OF THE WEEK

🛁 - Fradleys - Bathrooms, Kitchens & Dreamy Upgrades!
📍 - Derby
📞 - 01332 492705

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍽️ - The Engine Room - Mother’s Day Lunch That Saves You From A Last Minute Panic
📍 - Riverlights, Morledge
📅 - Sun 15th Mar
⏰ - 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
🎟️ - 2 courses £28 | 3 courses £33 (mum gets a free glass of Prosecco)
📷 - @engineroomderby

Mother’s Day sneaks up and suddenly every table is gone. The Engine Room has a set lunch with fizz for mum and a menu that avoids the group chat spiral. Start with baked camembert or prawn cocktail, then go for the Sunday roast with all the trimmings.

Finish with sticky toffee pudding or baked vanilla cheesecake, because nobody’s ordering fruit on Mother’s Day.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🧵- Mother’s Day At Amalfi White - A Free Family Day With Pancakes, Glitter, And A Pizza Van
📍- Amalfi White, Melbourne
📅 - Sun 15th Mar
⏰ - 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM
🎟️ - Free tickets (book ahead)
📷 - @amalfiwhite

This is Mother’s Day with the hard work outsourced. Kids get bouncy castle and soft play, you get mini pancakes, and someone’s brought a glitter bar so everybody leaves slightly sparkly whether they asked for it or not.

Tickets are free, but you’ll need to book.

🎟️ - From £17 plus fees (most releases sold out)
📷 - @thechurchderby

This is five hours of wall to wall ABBA, with a few disco classics mixed in, and an 18+ crowd that’s fully committed by 3:07 PM. The early tickets have already gone, so if you want in, don’t leave it until the day before.
