This was a lovely pub to go drinking at, well-decorated on both the inside and outside! The lights and vintage elements like bookshelves add to the interior, as for the outside that is mostly the colours. Me and my friend enjoyed a cocktail pitcher that was given to us by really helpful staff, after they saw me coming to the bar when we changed tables and instead passed it over! The seating is comfortable and when it rains, shelter is available outside also.
The people working are friendly and full of humour, good value well-kept ale & cider and quick service.
Some "colourful character" customers now & then but that just adds to the fun!
5-stars, well deserved.
One of the best National Trust properties we have visited. So much atmosphere and the whole team of guides are so welcoming and knowledgeable.
The ambience at the pub was welcoming, the beautiful, well-lit environment decorated with historic frames gave a feel gave nostalgic feeling. Need I say the service was top notch; the staff were professional and all smiles in whilst doing their job. In addition, the meal was scintillating and tast-bud satisfying.
Beer super cheap, food is good, especially good price for meal with drink
Now have special price deal, although price increased just in August 2023.
Me and my friend come here 1 to 2 times a month and the staff are lovely. Sophie is amazing very kind care person all I can say is keep up with the hard work!!
Its a 'Spoons and we love them. There was a bit of confusion over our order as the app took the order and then the staff said they didn't have the ingredients. So we amended the order to accommodate the lack of ingredients and then they asked for 35p more to cover the revised order. And wanted paying on my credit card. Now this wasn't a problem, but I would have expected this to be waived as we were very accommodating about the issue. Also many small charges on credit cards can end up with temporary blocks being enforced. I offered to pay cash, but they wanted it on my card via the app. All very strange. We will stick to the brand though!
Been in today just want to say staff were really friendly and food was fantastic. Came out hot and fast. A lady called Amber served me behind the bar who was very friendly. And Sophie who served the food. Both very polite and very professional. Will be here again
Decent food bar staff on point.
Team leader of the staff was mint crack willing to engage in conversation unlike some spoons.
Bar manager was chatty but busy.
Nice food good atmosphere.
Charles is a local don't be put off with his dementia absolutely lovely bloke.
Would pop in again.
Great! Visited later on in the evening midweek and it was nice, chilled out and of course incredibly cheap. Probably the cheapest round in Derby… we will be back for food too!
*edit: Breakfast is spot on, served hot and is super cheap, cheaper than usual. Toilets are also super clean.
