Bustler Derby in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Attended for the Euro's England final event. No response to my complaint despite 3 emails over the previous 6 weeks. I had purchased 8 tickets, queued up before opening time to ensure a good table view of the main screen. Whilst between our group spending several hundreds of pounds awaiting for kick off. I was shocked and disappointed that the main screen was not displaying the match. For the first half we were waiting and assuming for the screen protector to be fixed. Although staff seemingly made no effort to restore the viewing screen and subsequently, we seen very little of the first half. This resulted in us having no option but to watch it on the alternative smaller screens. Which was the equivalent of being in any pub or home location in the country without needing a paid sold out entry.

Really chilled, family friendly place during the day.

My favourite place, always great food, drinks and atmosphere! Shame it’s not on every weekend!

Nice evening out, watching the football.

Went for derby wing for fest, had a great time, beers were pricy, wings were really good at well priced loved the free hat to

Went for gin and rum festival,food ran out at 1 place the others were overpriced kebab place,inside is more like an empty cold factory with makeshift bars inside ,pity the samples closed early but the music was good thou

Very busy place, food lovely and different. All staff helpful

Came here for wing fest. Paid a £1 deposit for a plastic cup, when you return it you don't get your £1 back!! Cheeky gits

Went for bingo loco, which was brilliant. Unfortunately, there was no food service, which was promised. We were in there for 4 hours and nothing to eat whilst consuming alcohol - quite irresponsible. Toilets are disgusting!!! The cubicles are covered in magazine pages, and at the side of the toilet is chipboard - neither of which can be cleaned. Ugh.

No food available, staff rude, event started hours later than planned with no communication. Would avoid.

Went here for our work’s Christmas do and it was so much fun!!!! Live band, karaoke, amazing food, silent disco.

We went recently for our Christmas party, 3rd year we've been as we usually have a great time. Unfortunately, this time, it was a terrible experience. We had to shout at each other to be heard over the deafening music. Completely.spoiled our ability to catch up with old friends. They handed out the disco headphones as usual at the end of the evening, but the band were so damn loud that people just left them on the side as they were pointless. A real shame as the previous year was so good.

Basic and busy. Take some money with you!

Love going here for their events and work parties. Silent discos are our favourite. They have three different channels on the headsets so you can listen to different music. The headphones have led lights on the side so you can see which channel everyone is listening to. They always have different food vendors so we can try loads of different places. The bar can be busy but the prices are generally reasonable.

Went for oktoberfest this weekend, £22 ticket for entry only, beer £7.50 a pint £14 stien. Speakers are all bust and couldn't hear what anyone was saying through the speakers but they were crackling that loud you couldn't hear anything else in the room either! If your going to charge a premium price you need to supply a premium venue! Won't be going to any other events there

An amazing vibe, back to a time with where bars/venues had a more independent feel.

Always a good vibe at bustlers Market. The best food vendors are always selected for the venue. Tasty and a great value for money. The atmosphere is chilled. Great for enjoying the food and enjoying a bevvy. A great place to share with your friends or work colleagues. I highly recommend this venue.

I love going here! Food is always great, with good veggie and vegan options. Music is quite loud, but I love the atmosphere otherwise. And there are occasional dogs, so that's always good too.

A great place! Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Super staff! Thank you.

Went for a works night out. Pay a pound to get in. Lots of tables great atmosphere. There's lots of arcades with free tokens to put in. But the food is extremely overpriced (ten quid for basic loaded fries and that was the cheapest!) and the beer selection very lacking (never heard of any of it and all tasted the same. I did enjoy it though!

We have now been to Bustler twice, as I love street food and I was drawn by variety. As non drinkers, we were after some excellent food. One thing to note, parking is not easy! The first visit was enjoyable; we had a blue cheese burger from one vendor and chicken kiev loaded fries from another vendor and we really enjoyed both of these. There was a lot of choice but unfortunately one of the places wasn't open that day that we were looking forward to. We paid for entry just for Bustler, which I believe was £2.50 as it was an event weekend but they had free play on all of their games (fun, but many weren't working). It was nice weather and we were all sat outside which was beautiful. The next visit we came for the beer and burger festival, we paid £5.50 per ticket. Unfortunately, two of the vendors we were looking forward to weren't there but we still had something from the other stalls. The fried chicken burger was unseasoned, but our other food was good, if a bit overpriced given the entry fee. We were really disappointed about the no show vendors and we were mostly underwhelmed. Luckily, everything was indoors as the weather was naff! I think this is a place that is suited for drinkers and for social occasions less than for people on the hunt for excellent food.

I hate to be 'that' person but I was so gutted when I visited at the weekend. There were only 4 food vendors and not one of them appeared to offer anything plant based or gluten-free. It was all fried food with meat or flour so totally unsuitable. Shame as I was really looking forward to it. Would be nice to see some allergy conscious vendors in future and at least 1 vendor with a plant based option. I'm sure I wasn't the only disappointed visitor. At least it was only £1 entry 🤣 !

Had a great time here on Friday evening! Hadn't been before, but had heard all good things, and was not disappointed. Great atmosphere, plenty to do, good drinks. Will definitely return, a great night out!

Great place to go and relax inside or outside, close to the train station and town.

New policy of paying non refundable £1 for a plastic cup is insane. No justification for it when the drinks are already charged at a premium price point.

Nice venue and friendly atmosphere but only one vegetarian choice.

Love the variety of food and events. My fave is the silent disco!

Expensive. £1 to get in, £1 for a glass which gets recycled, £5.10 for pint and £13 for a pizza. Good atmosphere but won’t return .

My first time at bustlers beginning of July, Sunday afternoon, so not sure if the date and time were not good for food selections? Only got to pick from Thai + vegan so this was disappointing. Other than that nice surroundings with an outdoor seating with sun brollies and partial covering, and an indoor warehouse with lots of room. Drinks selection ample and lots of bits and pieces for kids to do, board games, console, bean bag game and more. Did pay £1 to get in waived if you have a blue light card or DCFC season ticket.

Cool place, better in the sunshine

Awesome place to meet up with friends and family! Silent disco is awesome!

First time and last time visit, charging to enter a car park, we had a burger £13 that was the most disgusting I've ever put in my mouth, it was quite busy and the atmosphere was good,no entertainment at the time we visited

I would just like to say thank you to all of your staff and in particular Georgia for facilitating our party on Saturday 24th. My brother, Jerry and I, had an amazing time, the food was great, the vintage sale a huge hit with the teenagers and the silent disco was hilarious. We all had a great time and thoroughly recommend your venue. Kind regards, Paul and Jerry Callum.

Pretty disappointed tbh. Only 2 vans for food, 1 vegan 1 not. Tried to get food and was told they weren't taking orders.

Great hotspot for those beautiful sunny days - atmosphere is great & the music, the whole set thank you

I've visited Bustler a few times now and I've always found the atmosphere really good. The choice of food is good, there's plenty of indoor space, outdoor space and shade. Dogs and kids are welcome and catered for. Definitely worth a visit.

Great venue for street food, live music & more

Great food and drink. Always a lovely atmosphere

Well, what can be said... I'd not heard of this before I was invited for a works party. Street food, a well served bar and decent music give this place the feel of something very different yet really appealing. I would imagine in summer it's a top top night out, as we visited late April it was still a little chilly outside but inside there are games, loads of seating areas and stuff like silent discos going on. Little gem this one long may it evolve and continue we will be back

Monthly food market with great street food, bar and excellent DJ

Didn't like loud music not good atmosphere for car boot

Great idea, quite busy when we arrived had the pulled pork grilled chicken burger in a brioche bun which was delicious, drinks in plastic cups bottle of prosecco was £20 I think.

Bingo loco was awful, full of kids who want to get drunk.. never again

Prices are reasonable for booze, service is a touch slow but you do get companies with people ordering 50 shots at a time. If In winter, it is COLD. Wrap up.

Interesting venue, good for groups. The old school arcade area is a fun way to get folk interacting. On the night I went food options were limited

The food is different each time, but usually it's good food, it's great to just go and have a beer at this place. Great for a squad of mates that just wanna chat and a drink.

This place is great. I'm glad it's every month. New vendors every time. Maybe they should get some new dessert places in though. I've seen they've added some doughnut places recently! Top marks

First visit today 29th October, atmosphere was okay, drinks very very expensive, food very expensive, arcade activities not good, they took yr money but didn't work. We won't be going again, not sure how these young people afford it? We ended up in town and got drinks and meals at half the price.

Went to gin and rum festival, nice atmosphere, but not great. Vendors were packing up before 9pm, less people in the place... I still enjoyed myself but was really aware of the differences!

Shame there was only one food option for bingo

Fantastic addition to Nottingham

Nice vibe and atmosphere. Décor a bit rough around the edges

Very dirty tables and only two food stalls open on a Thursday night. I wouldn’t recommend it. Sorry

Great selection of food trucks with varied options for any palate

Amazing service, we got there a bit later around 8-9 so some places had ran out of food so were closed or had limited options

Don’t get the big wow with this place, although it has a good selection of drinks, there’s basically nothing for non drinkers…Fanta or coke 🙂 not much of an atmosphere in the day either. Maybe it’s different at night

Absolutely love it at Bustler Market... Especially with the recent '6 weeks of Summer' where I managed to attend the last 3 weeks, any excuse to celebrate and enjoy my 40th 😅🤣. Such an incredible variety of street food, great staff on the bar/floor, decent beer, I tried the Jubel Grapefruit beer for the first time today. It has great vibes and has plenty to keep the kids happy too.

Great venue. Bizarre mixture of things going on there, but all in all a great place with and interesting atmosphere. Lovely for people of all ages. Food was great (although the food we chose was really overpriced 😂🤦‍♀️) and the drinks were great. Will definitely return if we are in the area again :)

Zeer sfeervolle locatie waar je kan eten, drinken, dansen en lachen. Het concept is (voor mij) uniek, want de combinatie van een grote loods met een kledingwinkel, een disco en een bar met buiten een verzameling eettentjes ben ik nog niet eerder tegengekomen. Aanrader!

Disappointed half of the food stalls were shut on a Thursday night

Large venue, plenty of tables in industrial setting and outside. Two food stalls available tonight so hope you like kebab or Indian. Prices a bit high.

Some really good events here, been 2 times for different events and always good fun.

Great food and a good place to start a night out. Great events. Must see for foodies in Derby

Really nice food.had Malaysian beef and rice. Good selection of lagers

Lots of music and food to enjoy, family friendly.. meet and greet place. Also allows dogs.

Not as many places to eat as thought would be

I had a cracking 1st event here at the rum and gin festival.... they needed to turn on some lights once it darkened as you could not read the brochure or the bar staff could not see what they were doing

Good atmosphere and the food's varied and interesting, if quite expensive for what you get.

Went for bingo loco but a bit of a hidden gem in the city, depending on what's on its a nice venue for a variety of events...

Cloths sale on there miss advertising took us there.

A great location to eat and relax. Derby has needed a venue like this for a long time.

Such a great vibe! Definitely a good option for people who like to try a mix of food or meet with picky eaters - the food is always good quality and tasty the only negatives are the prices are a little bit expensive and with the venue being outdoors mainly people can smoke around you which for some Iis a negative (especially when eating)

Great place, enjoyable evening. Lovely food and drinks. Nice outdoor space.

Friendly safe atmosphere. Good beer and food.

A good place for whatever event you’re hosting; I was there with several small businesses - including Colleague Box, Divine Box, Candle Mad, Pat-A-Cake bakery, Letterbox Love, So Good Kombucha, Withers Gin, Love Laa Laa Land & Mr Shaw - raising funds for families in Ukraine. Bingo Loco looks brilliant and the food choice is fab. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for a friend's 30th birthday could not recommend enough absolutely fantastic and the food was to die for 👍👍👍

Amazing. Food, games and just good vibes. Highly recommend

Lots of variety of food. Will come at night next time.

Great space for beers and food. Plenty of choice with inside and outside space. Will definitely be going back.

Great casual street food vibe, with brilliant local vendors

Another fab trip to Bustler in Derby.

Not impressed with the whole experience. Disappointed with the food and drinks menu. They were not tables they were shelves and not suitable to sit 6 people at. Would not recommend it and would not entertain going again.

Went here for a Christmas office party, food was amazing, great atmosphere and was actually seen despite the really cold outfits at the time my only finishing is that the music was super loud and i could hardly talk or listen to anyone

Fabulous atmosphere and lots of open space. The voucher system on pre booked parties is a little bit of a let down, as you don't see the breakdown of the voucher

Been many times, great vendors and food always quite busy but worth it for the food and the experience

Good place, good music, could do with some more heaters and bigger drink selection, but had a great time here and the staff are friendly too

Great food choices, no queuing at the bar, decent music

Rum and gin festival . Large open inside/outside area. Usable toilets. Wheelchair friendly. Great acoustics for music.

Gin & rum fest here was good, but sadly the Roundhouse beats it hands down as best venue for this event.

Real let down.expensive to get in .no atmosphere poor day out.

Nice environment - went on Halloween, some of the food was quite nice but some of it was quite bad e.g. the over salty nachos. We got in quickly and there wasn’t any wait which was nice and the food we got was brought to us quite quickly, the environment is a bit loud which isn’t bad but it can get quite stuffy. The benches fall over easily and are unstable, and considering they are made of metal when they fall over they cause really loud bangs - the only reason this review is 3 stars is because the burgers are nice.

Had a great time here. The food was delicious. The music was banging. The vibes were good. Not a huge fan of the order the table arrangement for the bar though, would be nice to be able to go up and order

Great venue, friendly staff. Good food and beer 🍺

Great place to go and meet up with friends, really good food and drink choices. Well worth a visit.

Too many people in a small place a disaster waiting to happen

Such fun! The app/website is really easy to order from, the service is quick and the food is good. They also offer Jubel beer, which is absolutely fantastic

Enjoyed my first visit. Food was divine. Atmosphere was OK - nothing rowdy, just lots of people with friends and having a good time - would definitely return.

Visited for derby beer con. Great day out, wide range of beers and good food options.

Absolutely awesome event, exactly what Derby needed, It's brought a fairly neglected part of the city back to life. The venue is impressively large with vast amounts of indoor seating and outdoor seating that's both covered and uncovered. Changing but always excellent choice of small, independent food stalls selling street food from all corners of the world; however, I believe Cartel is permanent... which is great because their food is excellent. Drinks are decent, although it could be so much more if they worked with certain other businesses. It can get very busy and really warm but it's a great atmosphere, If you don't like crowds I'd go earlier in the day, it's also dog and child friendly. Worth following on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc as they have a lot of events throughout the year, Derby Beer Con being the standout event in my opinion.

Visited for the Derby beer con. Excellent day in well suited venue. There is a large outdoor space, a lot of it is covered and several large indoor spaces. The spaces feel spacious and relaxed. The excellent brewers on site offering a very wide range of craft beers, with cider gin etc on offer as well, Street food vendors, offering excellent food. A very relaxed and enjoyable afternoon in a well suited and enjoyable space. I understand that this is regularly similar. Will be watching for the next event.
