  “Called in here to meet some bikers, bought a small can of coke to drink outside, £3.75. Come on guys, I know there is a cost of living crisis, but almost 4 quid for a can of coke, I could have got 4 litres of that from the shop, for less! Clearly profiteering whilst they can, because this bubble won't last forever, that and greed will ultimately cost them in the end. It's not that I can't afford to pay it, it's the principle of being robbed, that I can't accept. First and last time for me...”

  “A really nice pub that wasn't too crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Live entertainment was planned for the evening, and a bouncy castle can be found in the huge beer garden to the rear. We had food - which was excellent and more good value for money. Service was great also. All in all, a good family boozer with acres of space inside and out”

  “Me, my wife and our three littlns came in for a brekkie early Saturday morning, really happy to see they had clean baby changing facilities. When we came in all we wanted was a nice hearty breakfast and that we got and more. The staff are friendly as anything and the food proper hit the spot. Couldn't complain if I wanted to. Highly recommend to all.”

  “We went to a private party here at the weekend. The staff were incredible, the two Sophies and the male behind the bar (sorry I didn’t catch your name) could not have done more for us. They were polite, attentive, cheerful and nothing was too much trouble for them. A huge thank you to you all, you were brilliant!!!”

  “Food was really nice I had the Braised Beef roast dinner and the meat and the whole meal was perfect and my partner had the Pan roast dinner and she said it was very nice. Very friendly staff and would definitely go back.”

  “If I could give 0 stars I would. The staff are rude, unwelcoming and the food is disgusting. Strange because they have gluten free options on the menu but really have no knowledge. When the landlord was asked if something was gluten free his sarcastic answer was “yeah I’m not gonna chuck flour on your food”. . The other meals was gross as well. They don’t even have a proper chef. Just him cooking. I could have done better at home. Other pubs in the village are a lot more welcoming. This is by far the worst pub/restaurant in the village”

  “First and last visit. We called for a meal and drink early Friday evening. The menu was limited to a few items only. Mainly burgers fish and chips and curry. Everything else had run out. My glass of wine arrived in a dirty rim stained glass and not feeling too alarmed ordered food. We were given a list of everything that wasn’t available which was longer than the available list! Food arrived and looked lovely but the bread and butter described in the menu was missing. We asked for it but never got a reply. When the plates were collected and we mentioned the missing item again, she said she meant to come and tell us that they had run out. No offer of a refund or apology. Although the meal we had was tasty, the bar lacked atmosphere glasses stained and poor communication from staff.”

  “We visited for the Sunday Roast and priced at just £15.50 I think it’s excellent value for money. We went for the braised beef and the slow roasted pork classic roasts. We added sides of mashed potatoes and cauliflower cheese at just £3.50 each for a large side portion these are also excellent value. The braised beef was delicious! The mash and cauli cheese are a must. They were really good. Would deffo recommend for a Sunday roast. Can’t wait to try more on the menu. Large car park. Large beer garden. A bar area and a large more restaurant type room at the back. 4.5/5 Follow me on instagram @derby_diners”
