  “As a family we regularly visit and eat at the Markeaton, whether it’s as a walk-in in the week or a Sunday lunch booking, we are always taken well care of by Gemma and her kitchen staff and by Matt and his excellent team of bar staff. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly and the food is faultless; always great, fresh and piping hot and they accommodate our elderly parent’s needs and foibles royally. Your Sunday lunches are exceptionally good and great value too. Thank you to the whole team, we really appreciate you all!”

  “The food was excellent, and the chef did an awesome job on a well done very thick steak. The staff was super helpful and knowledgeable about handling friend's gluten allergy. Highly remember”

  “Always great food and great service! Lovely, well-kept beer garden if you wish to eat outside. It's Ember Inns, so if you get the App, there's loads of perks and treats. Can't go wrong.”

  “This pub has no consideration for the many people who live in the surrounding residential area. Last night, I could hear very loud noise from their outdoor football screening until 11:00 pm, even though I live several streets away. I had to get up early for work the next day, as it was a Wednesday evening. I wonder whether this was compliant with their licensing conditions...”

  “We had a fantastic experience at this pub – great food, friendly staff, and a brilliant atmosphere. The World Cup setup was particularly impressive; it was clear a lot of thought, effort, and creativity had gone into creating something special for the community. Watching England vs Croatia there made for an unforgettable night. We’re already looking forward to the next game!”

  “Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Markeaton this evening, a great atmosphere even though it was quite busy, the bar staff were super efficient and polite, after deciding which meals to order the food arrived within 20 minutes and it was delicious, hot and good portions. We noticed the serving staff did not stop, they were constantly serving or clearing vacant tables and were very efficient, polite and attentive. We will return as this venue is managed and operated superbly, plus the pricing is competitive.”

  “Two courses for £10.79 is very good value. Sadly, that is the only compliment. The Markeaton has table numbers, but none of the staff seem to know where the tables are! The first two orders were sent to the wrong table and then on the third order the staff didn’t bother to prepare the drink so I had to ask at the bar what happened to my order, the bar staff said they lost the receipt, but they didn’t seem to care anyway. Unfortunately the Nachos are prepared with Cheese Sauce rather than real cheese and the Sea-Bass and chips looked more like a child’s portion!”

  “Fantastic family meal at The Markeaton! We visited The Markeaton for dinner with my two kids, and everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Double Maple Stack Burger, Chicken Caesar Salad, Sharing Nachos, Seasoned Chips, and a few drinks — all freshly prepared, tasty, and perfectly cooked. The portions were generous, and the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly, making it a really enjoyable evening out. Highly recommend this pub if you’re looking for great food, good value, and a welcoming place for families. We’ll definitely be coming back!”
