About Jonty Farmer
Near Darley Park on Kedleston Road in Derby, Jonty Farmer is a pub with a beer garden and a sports bar set up for walk-in trade. The kitchen runs Sunday roasts with roast beef, half roast chicken, and pigs in blankets on the plate, and the bar pours a broad drinks selection kept at Wetherspoons-style pricing. Screens around the room keep sport on view through the week. The outdoor area gives groups a quieter corner when the weather allows.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are the draw reviewers raise most, described as lovely, very nice and friendly, with one noting nothing was too much trouble and another a warm welcome every visit. Food comes close behind, with diners calling meals great and excellent, and one family says they love coming in for food and drinks. A visitor staying nearby found the service quick and the food and drink reasonably priced, comparing it to a Wetherspoons, while two reviewers mention the pub being quiet. The one critical account concerns Sunday lunch. The roast beef was tasteless and likened to supermarket sandwich meat, the roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings were poor, and the stuffing balls were so hard a fork would not break them apart. That same diner enjoyed the chicken, vegetables and pigs in blankets, and called the bar staff friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks they serve.

“We were visiting Derby for a Billy Ocean convert in Darley park which was the nearest pub to where we were staying. The pub wasn’t that busy on a Thursday evening but the staff were lovely and the service was quick. I would suggest that this is very similar to a Wetherspoons as the drinks and food is vert reasonably priced. Would recommend.”
