From Paul Wells - owner

Since Dibleys opened in 2002 we have learned a lot! - and some of what we have learned from our customers has led to our revised menus. We have also learned about our supplies, hence the increase in the prices of some items. We apologise to regular customers for this.

We set out to create a fun place in the community where people could eat good food in friendly and pleasant surrounding. I think our regular customers - who make up the largest proportion of our diners - agree we have met those aims. We have so many friends at Dibleys. We even have a 'Friends of Dibleys' mailing list for news of our events, offers and activities. If you would like to be on it please click here.

Lunchtimes are often full and many now book a table. We hope you will understand our desire to accommodate as many people as possible, be flexible when you can, and thoughtful towards our busy-ness at peak periods. If you can come outside the peak times, you will find it quieter.

Evenings are totally different! The atmosphere, setting and menu are transformed to provide you with a delightful evening out. Many who have come on an evening have expressed surprise to find such an eating place in our location, or that they couldn't imagine the difference from our daytime image. With such easy access and free parking it takes some of the stress out of 'going to town' for people this side of the Trent. The evening menu changes monthly, so pick up a copy from the counter before you leave. When possible we ask you to make evening bookings ahead so that we are prepared for you. The table is yours for the evening.

If we have a 'speciality' it has become our evening functions. We have run our own theme evenings - Spanish, Mexican, European, Fish Night (with live demo!), Wine Tasting etc., and have plans for many more. But we have also been privileged to cater for some wonderful private parties for individuals' celebrations, group nights out and professional groups. Being small and personal (the business, NOT the staff!) we are able to give individual attention to these and customers have been generous in their praise.

In all this development I want to thank all the staff at Dibleys who have worked so hard. Without them all ... and those who have served us so well in the past ... there would be no Dibleys.
