If you are looking for a lovely place for lunch near Derby, somewhere relaxed, welcoming and genuinely good value, Compamigos at Mercia Marina is well worth a visit.
Just a short drive from Derby and Burton-on-Trent, and a stones-throw from key public transport links… Compamigos has become a favourite for people who enjoy taking their time over lunch. It is ideal for midweek meet-ups, quieter afternoons, and anyone who appreciates good food in a beautiful setting by the water.
A Relaxed Lunch, Served Until 5pm
One of the things our guests love most is that lunch at Compamigos is not rushed.

“Magnificent! I chose the Bombay Sweet Potato Curry from the lunchtime menu and it was divine; by far the best thing I’ve eaten in a very long time. I cannot wait to return and have it again. The restaurant is lovely and the service was great. 11/10.”
