Bridge Inn in North East Derbyshire

Exceptional service and food quality at The Bridge Inn. They catered for all of our large parties requirements very professionally and positively.

We popped into this pub just by chance when returning back to our hotel. We didn't book but they found us a table. The young staff were all very friendly, polite and all worked well as a team. We had the Sunday turkey roast, it was one of the nicest meals we have had, the meat was tender and the vegetables had lots of flavour. We would definitely recommend eating a meal here. We will be returning in the future. Thanks for a lovely experience.

Restaurant area outdoors and bar area dogs welcome on some areas. Good service food is excellent booking advised for key times especially you want the restaurant

Really nice food and the staff are great!

I have been coming to The Bridge Inn for years and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere, however I was very disappointed recently, whilst the food was lovely, our experience was ruined by a staff member who I believe was called Adele, her manner was rude and blunt and we over heard her twice yelling at the waiting staff. The staff have always been lovely here so here's hoping its just one bad egg. But for us atmosphere is everything and this made us feel uncomfortable.

Omg, what a find. My friend introduced me to this most amazing place. I was overwhelmed with the whole experience, from the attentive service as soon as we entered. Given a table straight away even though we hadn't booked, they said not a problem at all. Our order was taken within minutes as it was table service, which is nice when they're right on it. The presentation and the quality of food was delicious. A little above average on price, but somewhere a little special to go. Right by the River Derwent too. Highly recommend a visit, if you want something a little more special. Was also asked if we had any allergies or dietary requirements, which you don't get everywhere.

I went with a group of friends for a pre Christmas meal and catch up. Mia our waitress was lovely. Very helpful and on hand for anything we needed. The food was delicious 😋. Mia managed to split our bill allowing some to pay cash and others by card. A lovely evening all round. Will definitely go again.

Mia was lovely and very attentive. Food was fab. Lovely evening.

Excellent service at The Bridge Inn by Mia. Minor changes to order to accommodate child likes and dislikes were no problem. Service was quick. Reception to myself and three under age 12 was very generous and pleasant. A happy experience for us all.

Lovely food and great atmosphere for a family get together.

Very nice pub all top 24/7 I love this pub

Love this place in summer or autumn, food is amazing the staff are really friendly and the location is great.

Lovely location, staff & food great

We got there at the right time! Great atmosphere and staff very helpful and friendly (Mia and Amber)

Very busy Saturday night, but squeezed us in and amber served us quickly

Great location. Well maintained. Attractive interior, cosy, contemporary and very well maintained. Excellent friendly welcome and service. Good menu and drinks list. Reasonable prices for the quality. Glad to keep on returning.

Great food, attentive service, good value for money, lovely atmosphere. Big carpark and beautiful setting right next to the river.

Lovely food with ample portions. Really friendly and helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you

Pleasant place, the food was pleasant, the staff were excellent, the atmosphere warmed up as the pub filled up. Nice range of beers.

Food was scored less as everything we wanted had sold out. The pork was cold and tough and there wasn’t much of it. The waitress and staff were lovely and service good.

Unfortunately very disappointed that the Kids meal was the same size as a normal meal.. the feeling of being ripped off as we left. Made the bar staff aware as we left but just got a nervous chuckle I thought a reduction in the price of a full meal was definitely in order.

A lovely meal, and looked after really well by Mia & Amber

lovely food, and great service the staff Mia and Amber were very friendly and and served us with lovely smiles on their faces

Just had a great meal at The Bridge Inn. Food was great and Mia and Amber offered a first class service. Highly recommended.

A lively eating house, a pleasant young lady served us. I had Hunters chicken, not over impressed, chicken a little dry, the bbq sauce was rather bland. I would visit again but would try something different.

Food was lovely. Staff friendly. Xxx

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and very homely. Highly recommended. Sunday Roasts are amazing!!

Great evening. Best lamb shank ever. Very impressed with staff. Atmosphere and good.

Great experience at The Bridge Inn tonight, thanks to Amber, who made our stay very welcoming.

Great improvement across service, food etc. Well recommended. Well Done.

We dropped in on a journey back from Bristol. My wife ordered the gammon steaks and eggs which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had the Hunters chicken which was more southern fried chicken than Hunters but still enjoyable and my Daughter had the sea bass which could have been seasoned better but was still good. The staff were lovely and friendly but once the food was ordered we were kind of left to our own devices. I think the least we would expect is for someone to ask if we wanted another drink during the meal or even how the meal was. But all in all it is a beautiful pub with some lovely food and friendly staff but maybe just a little more focus on the service

Excellent food and service. Lovely staff, very warming. Nina was our waitress she was very pleasant. Nothing too much trouble.

The staff were polite and cheerful. We all enjoyed the food. The restaurant was busy but service was prompt. One of the reasons I like the Bridge is that there is sufficient space around each table and even when busy it is not difficult to hear each other speak.

Lovely experience, great meals. Support of RBL a bonus.

Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely atmosphere and excellent food.

The food was wonderful and the staff were all so nice! They were super attentive and offered great suggestions on the menu. Great experience, will definitely go back!

I've just discovered that you are leaving tomorrow, Darren and Mary. We are so sad to see you go. You have turned the whole place round since you have been here and it is now a warm welcoming place serving good food with a very friendly atmosphere. Wishing you all the very best Chris Lowe and the group who love Table 18

Very attentive service from Nick and superb food.

Fabulous friendly place. Good food and excellent service. I really can’t fault the staff. Highly recommended

Did not open at advertised time, but seems nice

Good food at reasonable prices with decent real ales .also at lovely river frontage

Nice pub in a location to match, by the river. Good pub atmosphere inside and a surprisingly big beer garden. Food was your standard pub grub, with a decent children's menu. Service was nice (however you could hear them talking negatively about other guests)

Despite a party of 11 and one of our party in a wheelchair we found all our needs catered for . With the additional 30% vouchers used made the evening very special

A solid 4/5 pub. Nothing spectacular, but nothing really to fault. Just maybe ask people if they want ice in their drinks. We weren't offered any and didn't get any (I'm sure they would have given us some if we'd asked, but it shouldn't really be necessary).

Went for my daughter’s birthday, as we usually like coming here . However quite disappointed this time . Service was abrupt, food was not great for the price, luckily we had a voucher, although when I said we had one I was told it had expired, which it hadn’t . They did accept it . I’m afraid we won’t be returning any time soon . My daughter’s food was cold and barely cooked , and mine was billed as a halloumi and red pepper dish , it contained 1 small slice of red pepper. Lots of onions though !

There was a guy behind the bar who was very abrupt which I didn't like. The sea bass was mediocre, as in not quite cooked and the atmosphere was zilch. I used to go in there for a Christmas meal but won't be going this year! Tbh it was the bar guy who put me off .. I asked the nice pleasant younger bar guy who the other guy was and he said bar staff like me.

The establishment was very welcoming and friendly. It was a relaxing atmosphere, on a wet thundery night outside, with service standards to a high. Despite a special plate not being available due to shortage (clearly a favourite of the evening) , there was plenty more to choose from and the dishes were extremely tasteful. I will be returning at some point , be it I book or casually drop it, as it's now a favourite to go.

We had a great experience - the Sunday dinner was amazing, the wine was delicious and all the staff were friendly and helpful! We have already recommended The Bridge Inn to friends and we will definitely be returning for another meal soon.

Great food, super duper service, very good prices.

Decided to nip down the road to have a meal the the bridge after nit going for a few years absolutely wonderful food, lovely service, kind people and all round a lovely experience! Thank you!

Lovely Sunday roast! Thank you Amber and Mia for fast and friendly service and the rest of the the team as well :)

The service we was fantastic from the young lady who took out food order to the guys who brought our drinks over. My wife is a coeliac and the staff were all on the ball with this. The food was very good amd the atmosphere was pleasant. Will be going again felt very welcome.

The food is slightly expensive for what is served but it was good quality, the service & waitress was very good the atmosphere was comfortable but a little noisy but to expected as it was quite busy. The waitress was efficient & friendly, on the whole the visit was a good experience

Thank you - great ambience! Staff very welcoming and professional. All staff had a smile on their face ! Special thanks to Mary who not inly looked after us so well but showed great kindness to a disabled customer ! We’ll be back ! Thank you all

Excellent food. Pedigree ale. Friendly bar staff. Spent 60 quid 2 fantastic meals. Went home full and merry. And 30% off main meals. We will be back.

Really enjoyed our meals today. Good food services hot and with very little wait

This place seems to have gone downhill. The venue itself is lovely, next to the river (although you couldn't see the river because the bushes were so overgrown!) The food wasn't up to much. The starters came out fine but when the main came we had no cutlery, so had to ask for some. The waiter handed it over with his hands all over them and then I had to ask for a steak knife. The steak was tough and chewy. The staff were friendly but looked scruffy in just t shirts, jeans and trainers. They would look so much more professional in a uniform of some sort. I wouldn't recommend it for food unfortunately. Too pricey for the standard of food.

Service friendly efficient and flexible. We were with 2 children and able to select suitable child-friendly food even though not listed on menu to suit children,s requirements. Adult food great and efficiently served. Altogether a great experience. Thank you. Please thank our waitress, a delightful middle aged lady.

Great service and only a short wait for food. The food itself is a good, fair price and amazing. Went back the next day due to being so good.

A very pleasant meal, served quickly and efficiently by attentive staff in good atmosphere

Went for a lovely midweek meal with hubby , had pan fried sea bass crushed potatoes mangtout and peas absolutely lovely couldn't fault the service or food , hubby had steak ale pie chips peas good quantity and quality will definitely return thanks for a lovely evening 😁🥃

My husband and I had our evening meal here today and it was lovely. We have been once before and enjoyed it so decided to go today. The lady behind the bar, Nikki was really friendly even though it was quite busy she still took time to speak to customers. My husband likes a good pint of carling and it certainly hit the spot!!! We thought we would be in for a wait for food because quite a few orders went in before ours. We were pleasantly surprised, we didn’t wait too long. My husband had the “pie and a pint” offer, meat and potato pie, had cut chips, mixed veg and gravy. He really enjoyed this and said the chips were fantastic. I had sea bass, new potatoes and mixed veg all of which was cooked perfectly and I didn’t find a single bone. We will definitely be back.

Great service, great food. Mary a fabulous host very attentive nothing too much of a problem

Staff super friendly and excellent service . Excellent service both bar and restaurant. Friendly and accommodating staff all round . Great food , will continue to recommend and return . Thankyou all.

We come fortnightly for the quiz but decided to eat on this occasion! Food was great value & served promptly & the staff are always friendly & helpful.

Sat outside, lovely environment, staff polite & friendly, only had beverages. Large establishment No body bumping into you overall enjoyed the experience. Maybe nxt time stop for food.

Lovely country pub in great location serving excellent food.

Connection to the WIFI is poor. The log in requires you to scroll back 1 month at a time to reach your birthday. Bit of a long process when you're 59, I gave up!!

Lovely peaceful pub with great quality food and drinks. Service is brilliant

Good prompt service in a pleasant atmosphere

Very good fish and chips, large portions.

Food is good, your normal British fare. Service is your normal British attitude. They do have a nice outside space.

Popped in for a drink, nice location but miserable bar staff

Food here was very nice, especially the chips. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Good seating outside for pets and children.

Apologies - originally gave 3 stars but that's only because of my fat fingers - didn't realise I was even leaving a review! Had a really nice time here - lovely beer garden!

I’d booked the wrong day but the staff were very accommodating and fitted us in. Excellent choice of food and drinks. Friendly helpful staff. Great location. Food was lovely. In the words of my husband, “best fish & chips I’ve had in a long while” !! We will be revisiting.

This pub is very nice & clean. The young girl behind the bar was really nice and polite. Food was good.

Nice location next to the river,was not to busy when we visited .Decent pub food with good service. Would go again.

Highly recommend The Bridge Inn for any occasion. The food is brilliant, varied menu and amazing service.

I celebrated my 60th birthday here last night and we all had a fantastic time. The staff were all amazing so friendly and professional. Nothing was too much of a problem. The food was amazing, none of us had a bad meal, it was all delicious. We're even talking about booking for Christmas dinner here!! (The belly pork was amazing!!!!) I highly recommend this place, it's the best pub/restaurant I've been to in years or maybe even ever! 10/10 and lots of big, fat gold stars for all the staff!!!

One best pub we went the staff always smiling and very accomadating.. The best part is the food is devine ❤️

Met up at the bridge for a family gathering and meal. Food was just OK - nothing special really for the price - but the service was good and friendly if a little slow, although it was very busy on a hot and sunny Friday evening.

Fab Pub , plenty of outdoor seating, great menu big car park

The Bridge Inn is a friendly, beautiful riverside public house which serves a varied menu at excellent prices. They have a good range of decent beer and soft drinks. Coffee is available. There is a clean area of artificial grass for children to run around on and the outside seating area overlooking the river is large and great in the summer. The staff team is mostly long serving and all are friendly.

Good good food with excellent choice of drinks with attentive service and nice people

Lovely place and beer garden is great, but, paying nearly £16 for a pint of Estrella and a large White Zinfandel wine is much too pricey, in my opinion.

Excellent home made food. We had the Steak & Ale pie & Beef Madras Curry. The quality of the beef in both dishes was excellent. Very friendly, welcoming staff.

Can't fault the food, price or service! Have visited several times since we moved to the area, Mary and her team are very attentive and friendly.

Excellent place well worth a visit

Would not visit again. Good location, but little else to commend. Tables 33 / 34 so close together that the people behind us asked to be moved. The meat in my steak and Stilton sandwich was inedible. Far too thick and wrong cut of meat.

Dropped in for a late lunch yesterday afternoon on the motorbikes, sat outside by the river. Excellent food and service. We will be back.

A beautiful spot - very nice food and drinks – great service from a friendly team – we will definitely be back!

We came to the Bridge Inn for my daughter’s 18th. She wanted to celebrate in a lovely pub, in pretty surroundings - the Bridge is 100% what she imagined. The staff were so lovely and attentive. The food was amazing and service very quick. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back again! Thank you!

Lovely setting Great service Had the lunch set menu which was Hot and tasty

The food was delicious, great choice on the menu for everyone. The staff are consistently helpful, friendly and offer great service in a lovely atmosphere

Good food great staff will be going back

Lovely food and really friendly service. Would highly recommend. 😊

Great food, quick service and friendly people.

Lovely setting , sad to say average food , fish over cooked

We’ve not been in for a couple of months due to ill health and holidays. As always we received a warm welcome, first class, friendly service and our relative, who was visiting for the first time, thought it was a lovely experience from start to finish.
