A warm and Friendly welcome awaited us, we had booked a "pitch" for our motorhome ahead of our visit which was brilliant, quiet and we chose to have Electric Hook Up for £10 which we were more than happy to pay as excellent value xx We had booked a table to dine in the restaurant and we weren't disappointed oh my word the choice of ales and ciders was phenomenal!!! All the staff were absolutely brilliant, friendly and helpful and the decor is beautiful. We ordered Hunters Chicken and a side of onion rings ...never seen onion rings as big !!! The meal was excellent. We'll definitely be back soon for another overnight stay and next time we plan to sample the Sunday Lunch. Highly recommend this gem of a find for motorhome stopovers xx

What a lovely country pub. We used their motorhome stopover service (call first). Inside pub is clean and nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere with good local following. Staff were lovely, made us very welcome. Food was great pub fare, we both had pie and chips. Really dog friendly people. We had a lovely first night of our tour.

Large roadside pub set in a somewhat isolated position, but with easy access from the M1. Inside it's a fairly traditional affair with three separate areas around a central bar. On that bar there is a good selection of ales, mainly from local, independent breweries such as Whim or Thornbridge, so it's no wonder this is a favourite haunt of the local branch of CAMRA. The main menu is on a blackboard so varies from day to day, and has a good range of interesting selections which are quite reasonably priced - I opted for an excellent Lamb Tagine. They also offer some more snack-type food options such as sandwiches, loaded chips and simple, inexpensive burgers, from a fixed menu.

On a motorhome tour from South Wales to Derbyshire and Yorkshire and after 1 week in we found the Arkwright Arms for a one night stopover and what a lovely find. We paid £10 for EHU and the pitch was free where we ate at the pub. The ladies behind the bar were very accommodating and helpful and with such a very clean tradition pub which served lovely food of traditional fare and with some dishes in thier own unique style and very good value for money. The pub was also very well attended by the locals and it reminded me of pubs of old when I was younger where it really felt like the centre of the village. Thank you ladies, you may see us again on our journey home.

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!

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.

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!

Wanted to go out of my way to leave a positive review for the Fox & Goose. Living fairly locally, we drop in time to time and on Sunday just gone, we did so with our little boy. We hadn't booked nor were we having any food. Just a drink at the bar. Those dining had the opportunity to 'meet santa' in a cordoned off area. Spotting we had a little boy with us, the bar staff kindly invited him in to meet Santa despite us not dining etc. My little boy loved it and was thrilled with his little present. Unbeknown to them, due to work commitments I'd been unable to attend our booked Santa visit elsewhere so this impromptu meeting of the man himself, was that bit more special for us as the parents. Lovely venue with great food and drink but above all that - the staff puts it above other venues. Thanks again!
