Dining at Binary, Derby
Binary Bar and Restaurant, Bespoke Inns newest addition, has continued to prove itself over the months to be a jewel in the crown by winning the coveted ‘Best Newcomer’ at the Marketing Derby Food and Drink Awards. If you haven’t tried it yet then you’re missing a treat.
We took the opportunity, over a coffee, to chat to General manager Francesca Kirk about this exciting award and how, over the past few years, the Binary Bar and Restaurant has developed and grown in popularity.
Fran has been with the company (Bespoke Inns) for many years and has got to know and appreciate what the local dining populace really need, and in this way Binary Bar and Restaurant has tailored itself to the demands of both city and village life. Being just a short drive from the city centre and nicely positioned in the village of Mickleover, the restaurant enjoys the best of both worlds.
Building a professional team around her that can look after both regular and new clients has been pivotal in getting this relatively new restaurant to where it is today, and Fran is always pleased to hear customer feed back.
Fran talked passionately about her role and the vital part the chefs play in creating seasonal menus which keep up with the rapidly changing world of dining. Head Chef Andres Nojiri, leads a team of talented chefs who present high quality, carefully crafted dishes, suitable for special occassions through to just a pleasant lunch out with a friend.
Here is just a snapshot of what you will experience at the Binary.
The former large two floored, industrial space is totally transformed into a contemporary restaurant with a flexible layout which can accomodate larger groups while not intruding on customers who want a more private and intimate experience. Here you can drink, chat and eat in the relaxed environment the Binary creates. Behind the scenes head chef Andres Norjiri directs a creative team of chefs, his Japanese and Italian heritage influences the menu and the way the food is prepared and presented, all showing attention not only to detail but also the way ingredients interact with each other bringing exciting tastes and textures to the palette.
Let’s start in the morning… If it’s a good breakfast that you enjoy then from Wedneaday to Sunday (9-11) breakfast is served. From Full English to bacon & maple pancakes, vegan to toast and preserves and you can add a glass of Champagne to make it extra special.
At lunchtime you can go for the Bubbles and Brunch menu from 11am or select from the main menu which is also served in the evening.
Various appetites are also catered for with a variety of on trend ‘small plates’ that you can share, adding further to that continental feel. It’s a great way to spend an evening, sitting and relaxing with friends whilst sharing a variety of dishes, very ‘tapas’ style.
Popular themed evenings are scheduled regularly ranging from Mexican nights to Murder Mystery events. But if it’s just to relax and chat then the bar area serves a vast array of cocktails, beers and wines and of course coffee. A visit to the website will reveal all the menus (13 in total) and times of opening.
