Arkwright Arms in North East Derbyshire

Come here for food a number of times, always superb food and lots of choice on the menu! The prices are very reasonable and portion sizes very generous! Staff really friendly and accommodating. Big outside seating area and also dog friendly, couldn’t recommend more!

Lived locally for years and only just visited today. Staff are amazing and the food is exceptional. Fantastic pub all round. Will definitely go back

Very attentive staff with very good service.

Nice and friendly with decent pub grub

Amazing menu so reasonable for the portion sizes.Top quality food.Highly recommend.Stayed in our campervan with EHU.On main road so noisy but worth it.

Wonderful food (as always!), good selection of real ales, lagers, and ciders. Staff really friendly and helpful (as always!).

Nice place to stop when visiting Chesterfield. Nice food, friendly staff. £10 for electric hook up if you want it. Thanks Kathy, we’ll be back.

Probably the best burger I've had in years, battered chicken with jalapeño, black pudding and chorizo. Wierd but my epic mix. And the staff are outstanding

Excellent pies and a great selection of beer! A "no fuss" pub - not too fancy like many pubs these days

It's a good Pub here in chesterfield had a funeral party there and it was cool

Just a proper pub good beer, good food and good company! Simple.

Nice pub, good selection of beetrs (no guiness) had jam roly poly, would be 5 stars but were a bit stingy with the custard.

The food looked amazing, we can't wait to try it

Lovely food and plenty of it. Took our 2 Grandsons aged 14 and 17 for first time. They never stop eating, but we took a doggie box home today!!! All fresh cooked food and staff are great. Definitely recommend

Lovely people. Great beer. Home cooked food.

Nice little stop off. Unfortunately kitchen was closed this visit so unable to rate. Staff very pleasant

We stayed one night in motorhome agreed arrival between 7-8 with dogs. On arrival 6.50 told no food from 7pm. Had driven 5 hours so back to van beans on toast. In pup fir drinks before bed. Good night sleep but not sure we would be back. Landlady uncaring. Obv do not want the business. Lost our on £60 spend.

Traditional great pub with delicious food. Staff great, cheery and welcoming. Humongous parking area, great outdoor seating too. Bay choice on the menu for food and drink

Very nice pub. Great service and good food, really enjoyed the steak and Stilton pie!

Parked here for the night to break up a long drive home. The staff were friendly, really lovely and accomadating. Sadly we didn't get to try their food as they weren't doing food that night however they did allow us to bring fish and chips in from the local chippy. There was a warm, welcoming atmosphere, friendly locals, good conversation. The place looked nice and clean. There's ample parking a great, if slightly well worn, play area for the little people to run around too. Outdoor seating available, very reasonably priced and also dog friendly. I would recommend The Arkwright Arms and happily stop there again. 😁 Oh and the wine was perfect!

Stayed here en route south from North East Very friendly and helpful staff, and fabulous food Highly Recommended

Always a good selection of beers cider gins etc, it's very good pub food, clean and tidy everything from a chip butty to a full meal local pies. never had a bad meal or left feeling hungry, staff excellent. check opening times as they do vary.

A proper pub! Selling real ales, cider, and good food. All staff very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent place to go ... food is so nice drinks are fantastic and lovely staff

A lovely place with brilliant food at great prices. I'm quite a picky eater and they will make alterations if there's anything you don't want. Love coming here, will definitely be coming back soon ❤️

Lovely home cooked food and great beers

Always a good selection of beers, ciders, gin etc. Food of a high standard and a varied choice. Friendly helpful service.

Lovely food and at a decent price. Especially loved the sticky toffee pudding and custard! Staff very friendly and courteous. Would recommend

Stayed overnight with the campervan. Had the best stake and Stilton pie ever, very friendly staff good selection or real beers and ciders. Will be back soon.

Always good beer and food in a lovely pub with nice helpful staff, well worth a visit 👍🍻😋

Really nice place to go. Try it and you will not be disappointed.

Recently refurbished in the dining area and looks superb. Good food, good service and recommend.

Great beers. Great food. Fabulous people. 5 stars.

Stopped over in car park in the camper. Had dinner and some cider, of which there was a good selection . 😋. Service was friendly and attentive and all for a good price . 👍.

Nice pub, big portions, had the pie which was lovely. Big carpark. Outside gardens. We love cider but some local ones are a required taste

Staff were pleasant and home cooked food on offer.

Lovely staff ( professional ). Food not cheap cheap, but for portion and taste very good value. Dog friendly and children too with a park, also space for them to run around. Plenty of parking too Thank you Arkwright Arms

Stayed here a few times with my campervan, staff are so welcoming and friendly 🙌🙌

Gratis auf dem Parkplatz übernachtet. Danke :)

Love to visit here to sit enjoy a nice pint and chill out

Always happy to break a journey up, this pub 3 mins from M1J29a. Good range of beers and real Cider/Perry for passengers. Food available at set times. Recently voted Chesterfield Camra pub of the year 2023.

Our first time here, good quality food, generous portions, the staff are very friendly and chatty. They have an extensive list of ciders and real ales. Will definitely be returning.

We went in here last night. Such a cosy old style traditional pub. It’s lovely inside and massive. The staff were very friendly. A good selection of alcohol especially the gin. Thank you so much ladies we’ll definitely be back again. We couldn’t rate the food as we went in, in the night time. But we’ll definitely try the food sometime. I’m sure it’s excellent. ♥️♥️👌👌👏👏🙌🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first time stopping here in our Motorhome,stayed for two nights, didn't need EHU so it was free to stay as long as you eat and drink in the pub, they do have EHU at £10, have an outside water tap. fairly flat carpark, no chocs needed. A bit of road noise during the day but is quiet at night. The pub has a huge selection of ciders, real ales and cask ales, we had a meal on both nights, the food was delicious, good portions, very friendly staff, nice and chatty. We don't have a dog but it is very dog friendly. We will definitely return.

What an absolute gem! Food was good and the portions were huge. Lovely, lovely beer on cask as well. 100% going back.

Great place to stop over with the motorhome

Great place for an overnight campervan stop. No food last night, Tuesday, but menu looks good and very reasonable. An excellent selection of craft beers and traditional ciders all very reasonably priced. Bar staff very friendly. Would definitely recommend for campervan stop, although a bit of traffic noise as next to a busy main road.

Only called in for a quick pint so can not really give a accurate account of the place

Great Pub stop in our motorhome! Beer cold, food nice, veggie options too! Good atmosphere! Not far from the M1, perfect!

Absolutely brilliant place, by far my favorite place to eat out or go for a drink in chesterfield. Cathy and all the staff are fantastic

Absolute gem, keep passing this place so decided to pop in, couldn't see any cider on tap so I asked what they had, the lady behind the bar said take your pick from the board behind you, i was amazed at how many different types of cider they had. As soon as i read through the list there was one i had not had in many years and that was a famous welsh cider called Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon, this is a must have if you like a nice dry scrumpy cider!

Great pub ,great service, good food,lovely

Was a quiet time of day so no comment on atmos but staff friendly and helpful and beer excellent

Smelt of pub chips... overwhelmingly so.

Great choice of beers and cider, friendly and welcoming staff! Dog friendly (with treats!) They welcome motorhomes and provide EHU if needed £10. Sadly not serving food when we stayed. Great stopover close to M1. Yes, there's traffic noise but earplugs fix that, and after 11pm traffic is virtually non-existent.

Only nipped in for a latte, which 2as very nice. The food menu looked really good so may be returning soon for some food

Friendly welcome from staff and regulars. Wide range of excellent quality beers and food.

Went for Sunday lunch with a group of work colleagues, we were made to feel really the welcome, the food was excellent, every mouthful a pleasure and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful, highly recommend, we will all be returning for sure.

Very good nice little pub does shut at 9pm at times

Friendly staff, good beer, and very well looked after. Lots of outside space too. Would recommend!

Stopped in our Motorhome on the way up North on a trip. A great “find”; lovely & clean interior; super staff & welcome; friendly locals & a smashing selection of well kept beers on offer -including gluten free options. A rarity. Dogs made to feel welcome too & we enjoyed it so much we stopped off again on the way back home! It will definitely become a “go to” for us.

Poor food at high prices. Good food at high prices is acceptable.

Lovely people Lovely food and a great range of beers

Called for a jar,and it was nice

Excellent food... Excellent beers 👍

Great service. Lovely food. Very friendly. We stayed overnight in the campervan. Check opening times i.e. when the toilets are available if you need them. We didn't require them.

Large graveled car park, though only 2 EHU, good price, staff friendly and welcoming, good variety of beers, excellent food at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend and will be back.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Nice food to..we stayed the night in there car park on our campervan. Quite night considering it's next to a main road..

Choices of beers very friendly bar staff and nice atmosphere to go with it

Lovely pub serves good food & good beers but you never get a good head of beer probably because they don’t use a sparkler on the pumps

A lovely friendly pub. Excellent Sunday roast. I would highly recommend

Always a cracking welcome from Cathy and John

Traditional award winning Pub! Excellent Food and Drink

We love it here. There is always a good choice of real ales and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Large outdoor area for the kids to play in when the weather is good. Snooker room and restaurant at the back.

Really enjoyed my tea here last week. Good value and quality of food. The chips are amazing. Good selection on specials board. Looked like there was a good selection of beers and ciders (was driving unfortunately). Would definitely recommend and hopefully go again

Filipino party always held in Arkwright.

Brill pub, will go again. 9 real ales 8 still ciders, good home cooked food

A decent pub with good food and nice beer recommended.

OK locals type pub. Food was a bit dry

Now where to begin ,ale 1st class food 1st class hospitality 1st class .We travel 40 odd miles to come here ,and worth every inch of travelling .

Stopped here (by arrangement with the lovely owners) in our campervan as we were travelling down south and wanted to break the journey up - could not have been made to feel more welcome! We were late arriving, and the kitchen was 5 minutes from shutting but John still very kindly took our order and made us some supper - huge thanks for that! Kathy his wife is super nice and made us and our little dog feel really welcome, and all the locals were great to chat to - our personal favourite being Keith the english bull terrier and his lovely owners! ;-) We will def be staying here again, many thanks to Kathy, John & staff!

Went here yesterday for a family meal after other recommendations. Definitely lived up to those as surroundings atmosphere service and food were fabulous. Definitely one to keep in your "go to" lists. Thanks

I've always past the Arkwright Arms and never have been in but I Attended a wake here this afternoon. What a lovely pub and really nice, friendly girls behind the bar. Really welcoming. The spread laid on was absolutely lovely. ( especially the onion rings!). I hope to visit again for food and a drink.

Nice and friendly atmosphere. Good food and drink.

Absolutely wonderful, helpful staff and food is amazing and not a measly amount it's a proper meal.

Excellent stop over in my campervan

Ho utilizzato il loro parcheggio per la notte con il camper, un vero peccato fosse chiuso dato l'orario. Grazie comunque in contumacia per l'accoglienza
