Chesterfield Arms in South Derbyshire

Been out shopping consider this as our go to for food being local to us As always very clean polite and very helpful staff food was excellent and drinks as well

We visited here today for a birthday celebration. The booking was originally for 7 but 3 messages had been left to increase the number but no provision had been made as the messages hadn't been picked up. We were accommodated though with a small table for 2 being free next to us. Some wanted carvery whilst 6 wanted food from the menu. The carvery meals were all finished by the time the other meals came out. The burgers were very dry, not at all fresh considering the wait . I admit it was very busy and the staff were rushed off their feet and they did their best but all in all, disappointing.

Friendly staff, lovely food, nothing was too much trouble. Managed to book a table at the time we wanted and it was available as soon as we arrived even though we were a little early. We use this place regularly as we love the carvery

Before we arrived on New Years Day I had an inkling the food menu was going to be limited when I perused the menu before arriving. I was expecting disappointment. However once there and we were told a carvery was available we were all very pleased. I have to say it was one of the best carveries I had been to in a chain pub. The meat was very tender. I had beef and my other diners had gammon and turkey. The veg were all nicely prepared. Service was excellent and we were asked if everything was alright. The quantities were also excellent. I would definitely recommend the carvery and if passing again will look to visit again.

I went with 3 of my friends for a meal and drinks. We was 1 of probably 4 tables in there so they wasn't busy took us 25 mins to get served at the bar for a drink 1 member of staff on who was so slow. And when a member of management came out and was asked by another customer if she was serving she snapped and rudely replied I'm busy you'll have to wait. We then ordered food on the app all together so we would get our food at the same time 45 minutes later it still hadn't come out and like I said it was quiet in there when I asked about our food the girl went and checked and came out with it by this point it was barely Luke warm and was like rubber didn't see the point in complaining at the time as we'd heard the management snap at several people who dare complain while we was sat there waiting . Won't be rushing back to visit which is a shame as it's a regular venue for me and my family but that night has put me off for a while

We came for the Wednesday night quiz and a carvery. Both were excellent. And I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Good food, amazing carvery nice and local to Burton, Swadlincote and surrounding villages. Also friendly staff who go the extra mile. Highly recommended.

Busy night at the Chesterfield Arms good food as usual Carvery served by Sophie tonight and as well as the lovely Taylor it was nice to see Chloe again all of the super friendly staff make it a pleasant visit one that we do every Wednesday😆😃

Fab food and great customer service. Dee looked after us really well. Good was quick and hot and very tasty. Would definitely recommend a visit

We came as it was a Halloween treat and we were very impressed all staff were fab , really helpful snd friendly especially Daniel I think his name was behind the bar. We had a carvery and it was absolutely delicious so good value, we also had burgers and kids meal which again were fab. Great service great meal.

Family had a lovely carvery. Gammon was to die for. Staff were welcoming. Nice, quiet and clean. Guy carving the meat was very polite and chatty. Will be back again soon.

We visited on a Sunday night I ordered the spicy chicken burger with Mac and cheese filling Hubby had mixed grill. We had wanted a carvery but as we arrived a bit too late a lot was missing so will return and will definitely book for earlier. The lad who served was very friendly and apologised for the lack of carvery. Our food was all good and we were impressed with the portions and friendly staff.

Excellent food, good vibes in the pub as always. We especially love the service from Taylor (the best worker in the place). She always takes care of us if we ever have a problem. You cannot beat a night out at the Chesterfield.

This spot good for a quiz and a drink! The carvery is good value for money. Recommended to bring all your friends and family

Very disgraceful customer services from both new manager and old/ new employee! “Dee” - manager and “lee” front of house nee member! I placed my order around 4:30pm on Wednesday 20th September and my FIVE SIDE DISHES took up until near 5:45 to come to the table when the pub it’s self was extremely quite at the time with more than enough staff on shift! When manager “dee” asked if everything was ok. My friend said yes with her mouth full of food meanwhile I’m trying to complain about the wait time and this manager walks off from me and doesn’t take the time of day to listen to a CUSTOMER! I will not be visiting this pub again and I do not think it’s a suitable place for people with mental health as this isn’t acceptable service when theys hardly anyone to serve! Food was cold when came out and I left in tears as I have depression and everything is intense! Never again! I have tried to go in and speak to the general manager “Sophie” but she was far too busy to want to communicate with said situation! And when you leave a bad review after they ask for one. They ban you and don’t lift it even after a year.

Great valve for money. Kids loved the carvey and the deserts. Friendly staff and a good pint. I highly recommend and we will be back in the near future.

Had the carvery , good value and selection however the food is never hot enough, plates are cold . We have been visiting here every month for the past year but unfortunately even after mentioning this problem to staff members we are still experiencing the same problem, so will be going elsewhere for our monthly meet ups

Everyone was lovely and welcoming. And the food was fresh and hot and tasted beautiful. Only downside was our eyes being to big and put our selves in a food coma lol shout out to the tall tattooes chef 👨‍🍳 banta and definitely not stingy when it came to dishing up

Was here for a family birthday , A great experience,, lovely friendly staff, food excellent,, would definitely be visiting again

Lovely afternoon with family , called in on the off chance of a table and was greeted my a smiling and welcoming face , Angel couldn’t do enough for us and the food was absolutely lovely 😊 thank u

Menu was very beige but good. Staff was very friendly, big shout out to the staff member who reserved our table every week, food came piping hot. Drinks brought to the table. What more could you ask

Came out for drinks and there was a quiz. Thought we would have a go and really enjoyed it. Great service too at the bar and quiz host.

The Chesterfield has a great atmosphere to it with excellent staff (especially Taylor and Brayden). The food is always pretty good and if you have any issues, the staff are quick to sort it out for you. Great pub to go out with friends and family.

I went with my family for drinks and took part in the pub quiz. Really good fun, very modern all done via an app. Would highly recommend anyone to take part.

Came in to meet an old friend and the food and hospitality is great as always. Had a very lovely carvery and the staff were accommodating. Will always recommend this restaurant for the food and atmosphere.

Great night with friends who I’ve not seen for ages - looking forward to the quiz tonight - friendly staff and better than I remembered from when I used to live in the area. Great to see a pub so busy and lovely with a fabulous atmosphere

Such a lovely atmosphere and really great staff (especially taylor, angel and jayden). It’s really nice to come out and get food with both family and friends.

This place never fails. Hardworking staff and a fantastic Carvery every time . Bit rude of myself because I never even look at the menu because the carvery is so good .. Welcomed with a friendly face at the door by Dee who also took my food and drink order . Chloe was also working hard behind the bar. Other staff very friendly. Took a risk tonight by calling in without booking but it paid off. Carvery looked lush and tasted fantastic as always. Thanks Chesterfield …my go to local favourite Carvery.

Have been going here for years. Always have a carvery. Today was alwful cold plates(usually have to use napkins to hold Hot plate) meat looked lovely, plenty of veg. Problem Veg was barley warm! I was offered a refund on my meal I asked for a pudding instead. Hardly any staff, hardly any customers ! Such a shame used to be lovely

10/10 for service and quality! The food was exceptional! The friendly staff were excellent and went above and beyond, especially the tall gentleman with tattoos who served us on the carvery!

Excellent service and food. Staff really helpful came with friends for tea as spur of the moment after work. Would definitely recommend.

Great place for a carvery and a drink. Good prices and staff are friendly, main menu is OK too but definitely have a carvery

that we have been going to the chesterfield arms for 23 years this year. Last October we had a really bad experience so we haven’t been back till today. Well things haven’t got any better!! We had booked a table and nobody came over I had to ask someone to see to us we had our meal my daughters was ok my husbands chips and chicken on his mixed grill was extremely dry and over cooked and I had the carvery which only had beef, I don’t like beef but nobody told us that’s what was available plus all the veg was dry and honestly not very nice. So my daughters birthday is next week and we always go to the chesterfield but not now or anymore we have it another chance and it failed miserably

great food, good location by hotel, all round good night. Quiz night was a good add on and it wasnt dead loud, could relax aswell #ticsontour
