We visited the restaurant for a family dinner on our second attempt, and it's definitely necessary to make a reservation. The food, drinks, and especially the service were fantastic. It was the best dinner during our trip to Tasmania, Sydney, and the Gold Coast.
Have you ever walked into a bar, only to feel the music come to a halt and everyone turn to stare, making you feel out of place? If so, this might just be the spot for you. While the food was enjoyable, the service and the bar staff (who also wear Dorset shirts) left much to be desired. It was quite challenging to get a beer, as the staff often stepped away from the bar or engaged in conversation, making it hard to complete a payment. Additionally, if you inquire about a table for dinner, it seems to become an even bigger struggle, with the staff tending to ignore such requests. With improved customer service, this could easily be the best place in Derby.
Fantastic food, excellent service, and a wonderful pub atmosphere make this a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal after a day of riding in Derby. The place is ideal for grabbing a bite and unwinding, perhaps with a game of pool afterward. Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5. Hotel highlights include exceptional value. Highly recommend!
You won’t find better service and accommodations anywhere else. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making our holiday so much more enjoyable. We’re definitely coming back next year. Thank you! Rooms: 5, Service: 5, Location: 5.
