Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was lovely."
"The food was so good, lovely and hot and served on hot plates too."
"Never have a bad meal here and the amount you get for the price is unbeatable these days."
"Food is traditional pub menu, but don't be fooled by this... it was fabulous food. Everything was served fresh, piping hot and perfectly cooked."
"The food was great albeit a little bit of a restricted menu but still good."
"The food was amazing, we chose to have the hot cobs buffet for our main wedding meal... and it did not disappoint - extremely good value for money."
"Both the meal we had in the evening and breakfast were tasty and went down very well."
Cons:
"Food took 50 minutes to arrive, despite restaurant being less than half full."
"Horrible meal had the tikka masala. It was served in a heap on one plate giant poppadom and naan bread. Meal was only just warm."
"Had a meal there the worst steak I ever had overcooked full of fat chips horrible left 97 percent of it never again avoid at all costs."
"The steak and ale pie was anemic when it arrived. Both people who ate this reported feeling sick shortly thereafter."
"Gone down hill, I had chicken that was disgusting. Tasted like it had been boiled left in the fridge for a few days then fried."
"Food quality was quite poor. Had sausage and mash. The mash was microwaved to a near solid state."
"The food was very poor quality, under or overcooked and several members of our party have been ill today."
Service
Pros:
"Some of the best service I have received. The staff couldn’t do enough to help us."
"Staff were friendly and professional. Pleasant one night stay."
"Staff were extremely busy running around trying to sort everybodies drinks orders out, but still had a smile as they served."
"Staff are excellent, both friendly and polite."
"All the staff are always pleasant and will cater to anyone's needs."
"The staff is always very friendly."
"Staff are amazing here, really helpful and can't do enough for you... managers are very funny too."
Cons:
"We had a money off voucher for main meals but when we questioned the cost of the bill after eating our meal we were told to 'chill out love' several times, by a female senior staff member which I considered very rude."
"Staff very over worked manage was very rude."
"The service was absolutely shocking totally invisible at the bar."
"Food was as expected for the money but our waitress was awful, way too busy talking to her friends that had come for a drink."
"When questioned rude staff just said that's how they come from the supplier and walked off pulling a face."
"The only concern I had was one of the managers was belittling one of the staff members in front of customers."
"Manage was very rude today was a celebration of a wonderful man to be told to keep it down."
Ambiance & Facilities
Pros:
"Great parking and a large outdoor space with seating when weather is good."
"We recently hired the larger function room for a friend's party and it was amazing."
"Lovely rooms lovely staff welcoming.. extra good value for money..."
"The Restaurant look inside very nice."
"Staff were friendly and the premises were clean. Good children facilities outside."
"We booked one of their function rooms which was spacious and clean."
"This is a great pub/restaurant. Very modern, clean, bright outlook."
Cons:
"Our only minor criticism is that there was no grab handle over the bath to assist in getting in and out."
"We went too the Old house Newbold for my Aunties Wake my brother was in a wheelchair and we could not get through the gap for the toilet also it was difficult to get round the pub and the way to bar was impossible because of the steps."
"Only downside was that we could hear the TV on in the rooms close by and above (and until 2.30am is not conducive to a good night's sleep...you can't help other people's ignorance!)."
"The restaurant area was quite cold."
"At this point the social distancing went out the window... there was no 'policing' of the situation by the management which quickly appeared to be out of hand."
"VERY noisy in the bar/dining areas."
"And outside unfortunately natural flowers have been replaced by plastic flowers."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Very good value for money and in an excellent location for visiting Chatsworth House."
"Good friendly staff, good meals, good value for good."
"Pub very busy and thought we might have a long wait but we got our meals on a short time and all four of us said how tasty, hot and plentiful they all were."
"Our two kids also ate for a £1 (before 5pm) which was a bonus."
"For our evening guests we chose to have the cold buffet, which again was amazing quality and value for money."
"A really homely and family orientated pub, with lots of choice for delicious and hearty food at excellent value."
"The double whammy burger was delicious but huge could not finish the chips also ordered the side of homemade sliced slaw which was really nice."
Cons:
"This is disgusting and I will never enter your premises again."
"Had meal …. Wish I hadn’t …. Doubled up the chips for £1.25 as on menu but god help if I had not …. Would have got about half a dozen!"
"Poor poor poor they had run out of all sorts. I ordered and payed for a ribeye but got a sirloin."
"Not badly priced though so can't complain too much, you get what you pay for, although £1.50 for a slice of bread and some butter was laughable."
"Meal booked well in advance for 16 people for a 70th birthday party... poor management understatement."
"It was the worst meal I’ve ever had my gammon was raw in the middle, I could actually taste blood."
"Food was poor quality. Steak pie was dry and crust rock hard."
