The Wellington Inn - South Derbyshire

Was introduced to this place on a business trip. The host recommended the “Welly Burger”. Let me tell you the burger was amazing! It is served with onion rings and chips and is topped with fried onion, tomato and lettuce! Highly recommend! Bring your appetite because it is a large burger!

I stay here a few times a year when I travel for work. Always great service, atmosphere and food. The rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable. Always some very good ales to be had.

Been to this pub a number of times over the last fours years, they have a standard pub menu but have a fantastic specials board or did do you were always spoilt for choice) however, the past two occasions we have visited August and October 2014) the specials were exactly the same, also I wondered whether the pub had changed hands.

What a beautiful pub, sadly that's all I can say in The Wellington's favour. We dropped in for a late Sunday lunch, two boys, my partner and I. We arrived just before 3pm and decided to have a quick bite in the bar. I had a Ploughman's, not good. The cheapest of produce resulting in a tasteless plate of food. We also had a warm cheese tart to share, which was a genuine delight. The boys had steak, ok but of poor quality, and the kids menu, pasta with tomato sauce, this didn't get eaten. Dreadfully over cooked pasta with a revolting sauce. If a hungry 10 year old turns that down you know you have a problem. Worst of all was my partners Cajun Chicken. Within 200 meters of the pub and no more than 12 minuets of her finishing, she asked me to stop the car. Her stomach decided to remove its self of her lunch over a wall at the roadside. Clearly not somewhere I would recommend anyone to go.

Such a disappointing time. We unfortunately received very bad service, waited over an hour before even the starters arrived and the quality of the meals were poor.
