Arkwright Arms Reviews

A Real Ale pub delight, went to the Hawaiin Shirt day, Marquees outside, live music, great location. 5

Great friendly staff. And lovely food. Always putting things on to entertain.

Great service with the one way system.
all staff happy as always very welcoming and god do they serve a good pint .

All we need now is to get some food on offer

Friendly atmosphere. Great food & service. The best Hunters Chicken I ever had. Will go there again.

Brilliant pub serving some really good beer and is well worth a visit, little play area and seating on front too.

Went here for a bike show what a lovely day it was would definitely recommend this venue for events big and small

This is the best pub on the planet. Kathy and John are fantastic hosts with an efficient well trained team. The beer garden and grounds are huge! We travel every year from Liverpool for their annual Hawiian shirt beer festival and it's one of my favourite days of the year you can even camp highly reccomend. The food is top notch too!!

Birthday party. Beer and a great night with friends.

Attended biker show ample parking with good outdoor space and good wheelchair accessibility

Fantastic ale and atmosphere there. A genuine pub with genuine owners. Excellent food also.

Decent range of real ales, well kept and served. Food liked good but didn't eat this time. Open fires make it homely.

Was only here for a bike show, seems a pleasant enough pub but that's all I can honestly say

Nice food, reasonably priced, great, friendly staff. Spot on.

Friendly welcome and service. Enjoyed a chicken burger and fries. Noticed a number of real ales available for purchase.

Really friendly and since pandemic has the best social distance rules and the most adhered to

Most enjoyable lunch for ages.
Good food and the best beer for miles

The self distancing was fantastic and lovely staff x

A brilliant place to take a rest in the sun with my son

Amazing Christmas meal tonight ,the food and presentation fabulous .The staff couldn't do enough for us .thankyou so much .

Nice little cosy pub. Looks like it has its own eating space too with tables and chairs in another bit of the pub.

Brilliant little gem. Local beers and ciders. Alright pub grub too.

Fantastic choice of drinks! Even for the fussy (me!)

The chip cobs are to die for and amazing value! :)

Great value for money meals. Good selection of beers. Staff make sure you feel at home. It is nice to find a traditional pub atmosphere not spoilt by the times as so many others have been recently.

We will definitely return soon.

Upon return it just gets better and better. Service is excellent. Can't say enough good things about this pub. I am a regular visitor now and still they make the effort to make you feel special.

Had heard great things about this pub, but in the event found it pretty average. Good beer and friendly service, but mediocre food and a 'locals only' vibe.

Those bad review are shocking. The food is amazing, bar staff are so friendly and they make you feel at home. If you smoke where else are you meant to go other than outside? I am a regular at this pub and its fantastic. So if you dont like this pub your lost, those review are so old and so much have improved. I love Arkwright Arms

Lovely pub with a great selection of beers and food.

Great food, great drink, great value. Excellent service, friendly staff.

Excellent home cooked food at very reasonable prices and portions are just right ( puddings are very generous portions! )Staff very friendly, efficient and helpful. Would highly recommend

1st visit for bike night went to early at 5.30 but was starving needed food and it was yummy. Defiantly be back

Four of us went for a meal today lunchtime, waited over half an hour for the meals, all came on cold very cold plates. My beef lasagne was not cooked the bechamel sauce was just like milk. Sent it back with the salad and garlic bread to be replaced, they sent the plate back with garlic bread and salad on and was told my lasagne would be 10 to 15 minutes, it didn't appear. All three others friends had finished their meals, not really enjoyed them, so we left it at that. Nobody. Came and apologised, and when we went to say the bill which we refused to pay for beef lasagne meal still no apology. Shocking!

Excellent food, excellent value for money!! Would definitely recommend!!

Nice real ale pub. Worth a visit if you're in area.

We visited the pub for the first time today and thoroughly enjoyed one of the tastiest meals in recent times with very friendly service. 100% recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant nite at there hawian shirt party a great pub 3rd year going love it

Great food with a good selection of ales. Recommended.

Lots of lovely dishes to choose from and at least 9 dishes were gluten-free, vast choice of home ales, ciders and gins, food and service excellent would definitely recommend.

Excellent food at competitive prices, friendly staff and great selection of beers.

Went here as was recommended dog friendly, but there is a separate room round the side of the pub. NOT impressed, for on entering the doorway the Gents is immediately opposite. The door was wide open & the whole entrance stank. There was only 1 chair available in the room, free-range kids & generally not an inviting first impression. We left.

Great place, great staff,and so much choice in drinks.

Nice atmosphere, pleasant staff and excellent food at reasonable prices. Huge range of beers too

Excellent real ale pub with friendly atmosphere and fabulous reasonably priced food

Great food , great staff , very good value for money .

Absolutely fantastic day. Great beer and fab company

Called between Christmas and New Year, it used to be spot - on as an eating place, and, although we haven t called for a long time, this time, the food & service we re very poor.
Although they weren t very busy, between ordering & service was over half an hour s wait. When we actually got our order, Lasagna, there was no pasta & sauce layers, just what seems to be shop bought bolognese sauce with one layer of pasta & cheese on top, served in deep dish. ( probably so you wouldn t notice )
Not good at all, left half of mine. The best thing about it was the shop bought garlic bread.
Poor service, poor meal & massively overpriced rubbish !!!!
Definitely will not be calling again !!!

Excellent selection of ale, good grub and friendly staff. Perfect pub

Well thought out with current restrictions and remember allergies etc. Fantastic

Welcoming staff, lovely food and good portion size.

Great food, people and service well worth a visit especially on theme weekends

Carling prem on draught, what more can i say!! Loads of real ales, ciders and gins. Great food, not the cheapest, but worth it

Excellent food at a very competitive price. Huge selection of real ale. Very good friendly service with a smile. Highly recommended

Love visiting here with our dad and Kate for tea always friendly and can't do enough for you c

Brilliant pub. We look forward to Hawaiian shirt every year! Always an amazing night! Think you should do more ale fests :)

A friendly destination pub with a good menu of food and drinks.

Lovely English pub
Nice stop over just off the motorway outside chesterfield. Stayed at a motorhome on the carpark and were very welcome.
Nice homemade pub grub. Nothing fancy, just honest home cooked food. Very reasonable priced.
They accept Scottish banknotes, so did not hesitate to have more drinks.
Amazing selection of real ales.
Good Gin selection as well.
Worth a visit.
Friendly publicans and staff btw as well. Not to forget ! ! !

Fantastic food along with friendly staff, a park the kids can play on along with a wood to explore, the sun is out what a great way to spend some time with the kids enjoying luch

Great selection of beers and ciders, good food. Love the chip cob menu!
