As the owners of The Derbyshire in Frisco, father-daughter duo Matt and Krimsyn Hunsicker have found that sharing responsibilities is a divided house situation—Matt handles the front of the house while Krimsyn controls the back.

“She deals directly with all the vendors, and then she does a lot of the onboarding and payroll for the restaurant,” Matt Hunsicker said. “Once we laid out the initial base menu of what we'd have, then she created every recipe, every single batter, everything ... was her creation.”

On the menu

The restaurant serves a combination of British cuisine such as fish and chips and bangers and mash but they also have a wide variety of non-Brit inspired dishes that they have named using nods to the mother country such as Kings Club and Royal Burger. Other items include wings, salads, chicken sandwiches and more.

“The biggest motivator to the menu creation is, what can we offer to make sure that if a party of six comes in, every single person is going to get something that they like,” Hunsicker said.



Popular menu items include their burgers, wings, Irish pretzel bites and fried cheese but by far, Hunsicker said, the fish and chips is their top seller.

“Fish and chips is the staple of the British diet. We take a lot of pride in ours. We only use cod and soda batter, which means it’s nice and crispy,” he said. “We bring in the cod in whole filets and trim them in the back. As soon as they're ordered, that's when they get battered.”

What else?

The Hunsickers opened Derbyshire Pub in April of 2024, however this is just the first of 33 restaurant concepts Hunsicker has developed for his business Delectable Group. He said his other concepts range in cuisine offerings including steak houses, seafood, Tex-Mex and more. “This was going to be the British pub because of the look and the feel [of the building]. It also had a lot to do with market analysis. It's safe to say there's plenty of Tex-Mex places around here,” Hunsicker said. “This gave us the opportunity to fill a need, but more importantly, it felt it filled the space with what the space really needed—a British pub.”
