Quick info
About The Hunloke Arms
The Hunloke Arms is a restaurant on Derby Rd in Chesterfield, with an upstairs seating area decorated with a cherry blossom tree and blossom hanging from the ceiling. The menu runs from yakatori sticks and wood fired pizza to yaki udon, hanging skewers, bao buns, and burgers. Guests are greeted at entry and signed in, then shown to the bar before being seated, and it operates on a walk-in basis. An outside dining area doubles as a beer garden, with blankets provided for cooler evenings. Toilets sit downstairs across the restaurant rather than upstairs. A large car park is on site. Meals end with a small touch, a goody bag or treat such as a rubber duck, sweets, or an anniversary dessert plate.

Customer Review Summary
Yakatori sticks are the dish reviewers return to most, described as beautiful, with one diner regretting not ordering more than three between two. Wood fired pizzas follow, called ginormous with an unusual range of toppings, and others name the trio burgers, Katsu chicken, Yaki Udon, hanging skewers and bao buns. The upstairs dining room under the cherry blossoms and hanging lanterns draws repeated praise, along with a wide cocktail and mocktail list and an outside area with blankets. Servers are described as friendly and attentive, and one reviewer says the team seated their party with sensory and mobility needs in mind. Several call the prices great value for the portions. The complaints are small but specific: there are no toilets upstairs, so diners walk downstairs and across the restaurant, and one reviewer found the drinks really slow. Another suggests a sign pointing to the extra parking. Several reviewers close their meal with a dessert plate or a goody bag of sweets marking an anniversary or visit.

“Nice and quiet, food was hot and really good flavours and seasoned well. Drinks were really slow, but service was good overall. Had a nice anniversary plate, such a nice touch. Overall really nice experience.”

“Came here for my birthday meal and it was amazing. We sat upstairs in the orchard area. First time sitting upstairs for me and I would 100% recommend it was beautiful. We had a bao bun each as well as a chicken sharer to start. I had the chicken skewers + 2 sides and my partner had a burger and an extra side of olives. I also had 2 mocktails and he had 2 pints. £85 which we thought was great value for the food we’d had. Would definitely go again. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive. I think her name was Izzy.”

“Honestly heard lots of good things regarding the hunloke arms and have been burnt before listening to the hype. Well let me tell you it did not disappoint and has certainly lived up to the hype. We had yakatori sticks for starters and they were beautiful. I regretted not ordering more than 3 of them between me and the wife. Mains I had the trio burgers which were absolutely beautiful. The wife had the chicken burger which she throughly enjoyed. Well done to the whole team. Not one issue at all. Beautiful all around. The 2nd anniversary dessert at the end was a beautiful addition Maybe a sign pointing to the extra parking space so it doesnt look like we're about to drive off a cliff haha!”

“Myself and my partner visited the Hunlock arms a couple of weeks ago for a lunch date. We had seen pictures of the restaurant upstairs online and were suckers for a boujee dinner so we decided to make the 40 minute journey It was absolutely worth it! We came you’re early into lunch service so it was lovely and calm, we were seated upstairs under the cherry blossoms which are GORGEOUS and were given 5 star treatment. The menu is plentiful, with lots to choose from. I opted for the Yaki Udon and my partner one of the hanging skewers. Food came quickly and portions were very generous. The drinks selection is fantastic and it’s clear a lot of care and attention goes into their food. We didn’t have room for desert unfortunately, but we still left with a goody bag of sweets which was a lovely touch. We will definitely be returning, just wish we didn’t live so far away!”

“We are staying in the Peak District for a week and had been to Matlock. My Wife found the pub using Google maps, as it had good reviews. Couldn't believe the size of the car park, it was huge. The pub was packed (it was a Sunday night). Service was very friendly and attentive throughout. Food was delicious. We shared Katsu chicken to start and were given 2 side plates so we could share, without us having to ask. We them both had pizzas. Such an amazing range of toppings and they were ginormous! I managed to eat all of mine, but my wife has half left over, which we were able to take home. Fantastic range of drinks including delicious looking cocktails. The interior decor was lovely and my Wife said that the toilets were gorgeous as well. There is one thing however, that I am REALLY disappointed in... We live 3 hours away, so might be some time before we can get to come back!”
