De Rodes Arms in Bolsover

Came here at the start of February and the breakfast was awful. Nothing was topped up all the food was cold. The staff looked over worked.

Great breakfast and lovely service from Megan? (I think) shown to our table which was reserved and very attentive with anything we needed. Would recommend.

Came for two birthdays with family We all had the carvery & it was beautiful, best we've had for a long time, Shane was very helpful, generous portions & good attention to detail. Great service.

Amazing food and service! Always friendly and relaxing. Never waiting for food to come out always well stocked. Food always nice and warm.

Visited de rodes arms with family for breakfast. The food was nice and hot ,Great service at the bar and staff was very helpful would definitely recommend . Will be returning

Absolutely beautiful food, from the lovely service of the carving of the gorgeous beef. To the bar staff and manager ( Erica) would highly recommend coming here to anyone.

Excellent lunch today, carvery and food order was fresh and hot, Erica and her staff on duty were lovely, highly recommended.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. The bartender was patient and helpful while I tried to locate my birthday offer. The food (carvery) was good, but not hot. Just about warm. Good Yorkshire puds.

Nice place to have brunch. But carvery serving is too little we think, not enough meat for the money we spend. Friends had same opinion.

I was ill all week from there roast . Avoid 100%

Took family for a night out . What an awful night . Ordered 9 meals and they said it would be half hour . Over an hour later asked if our meals were coming . The waitress said she would ask . A further ten minutes later two of the order came out and they were stone cold . Clearly they had sat in kitchen and appeared to have peas microwaved hard enough to be like bullets . Poor show all round while we were waiting meals were been taken out for takeaways appears that's their priority . It wasn't busy at 7pm on a Saturday now I know why seriously won't set foot in the place again . A special night out spoilt luckily treble bob accommodated us if you plan going here don't go over the road instead

Staff friendly, food OK but avoid the beef on the carvery, it was full of gristle

usually a good experience, so would recommend

Went to De Rodes on a Sunday and had a burger, which was very disappointing and a mistake. The patty was inedible and could only be described as soggy, heavily processed rubbish. The chips were also disappointing, and I'm amazed how somebody could manage to make chips so bad. Tasteless pieces of cardboard. Others in my party had the carvery which looked very nice and the only reason why I haven't given a 1*.

All good on this visit carvery excellent/service from all departments (bar/carvery/floor staff) friendly and helpful will visit again when occasion arises. Well worth a visit on a Sunday 👍😁

Firs time visiting de rodes must say i am not in no rush to go back. The atmosphere was bland. The service was ridiculously slow. The food was awful chips undercooked, how you even manage that is beyond me. Portion size for the children is dreadful. Overall overpriced crap nasty food

Food was good , service was excellent atmosphere was great.

Arrived to be told no carvery left, would have been nice to be prewarned as we wouldn’t have bothered coming, we left and went to eat elsewhere

Food was really good,the staff were friendly and helpful and it wasn't expensive

I would just like to say how Leah from the Stonehouse restaurant in Barlborough Chesterfield was an absolute sweetheart and bent over backward to look after me. What an asset to your company, such a beautiful person inside and out. She will go far.

Great value for your sheckels after a long day in the goolag

Went for my friend’s birthday in October, the food was shocking, the pizza was disgusting, and the carvery was horrible, and my friend agreed, we hardly ate any of it and complained to the waitress, she was sent to the opposite end of the pub to clean tables and seemed as though she’d basically been told to ignore us until we left I feel sorry for the waitresses that work there when they have such poor and ignorant management, I used to be a regular there but haven’t been back since and won’t, I’ve found somewhere that’s far superior and that actually cares about what there doing.

Lovely and polite staff with delicious food that fills you up

Excellent food and excellent value for money! Superb offers not worth cooking at home 5*

This place should be ashamed of its self...it really has gone down hill....went for a carvery only had beef left.... a woman behind the bar said we could all have chicken or a sausage basically because they have no other meat went for my food asked the chef and she basically called me a liar....her remarks was.....I bet she did then walked off .... when I explained what the woman said behind the bar.... ABSOLUTELY NO MANNERS AT ALL.....used to enjoy going here......definitely will not be returning..... I know this will make no difference what so ever just expect to be called a liar and spoken to like dirt 👍

Excellent service and food. Staff very friendly. Good value for money

En route home we were hungry stopped off here as looked quite busy , the menu didn’t really grab us but my partner had the chicken breast burger and chips and I just had loaded nachos with chicken - his was acceptable, not great , but acceptable for the price , mine was shocking !!! Who these days puts that horrible cheese sauce on nachos in a pub/restaurant rather than proper grated cheese ??? It was disgusting and the added chicken was merely from a sandwich style chicken packet it wasn’t even heated up !!! Although the lady who served me drinks at the bar appeared to be the manager and I couldn’t fault her friendliness and welcome , but I would never dine here again , it’s cheap in price for a reason , and I would rather pay double and enjoy my food !!

We had an enjoyable meal this evening. The food came relatively quickly and was great. Staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. A special thank you to Louise. We will visit again

Plates could do with being a little larger.

Love the special offer we had on this meal 50% off 😋

Brilliant service, come twice a week and never disappointed. Spot on today, thanks to meg for being very friendly when serving aswell.

All staff are amazing and funny! Makes it worth the trip for breakfast having kind professional staff greeting you at the door! Then staff continue to be polite helpful and funny the whole time you visit. Chef Em is bright and bubbly person behind the carvery counter... Yours sincerely Man in the hat.

Great value for all u can eat breakfast

Great Xmas dinner. Good timings between courses staff helpful and friendly

Excellent Christmas Day Lunch, staff couldn't do to much for everyone. If you come away hungry it's your fault.Thinking of booking tomorrow for 2022 .

Went here on the off chance of getting a table on boxing day....we were greeted with open arms and the manager, so didn't catch her name, was so accommodating, she helped her us with friendly professionalism. She went above and beyond.

Great service from start to finish. All the staff were friendly. We all enjoyed our meals and we couldn't fault anything.

To start, the food was delicious and historically we have had some wonderful meals there which is why I've given a 3 instead of lower die to consistency. On this day though, we were a family of 6, they forgot 1 meal so it came out 17 minutes after the main. Then an additional burger meal was ordered after everyone had eaten and they made the burger wrong as they put sauce in it when it was requested no sauce, so they had to restart again causing another delay of roughly 20 minutes. The place was maybe half full. Most of the Staff were friendly, some were attempting to be friendly I guess, however unfortunately it seemed through gritted teeth sometimes. Avergae overall on consistency, would still go again though, food is good and you can have a good experience there. The only place that doesn't do refillable soft drinks though that I have been to in a while

Take away lunch for the office today, plentiful and delicious. Thank you 👏

Just waited 2 hours for a carvery delivery for it to be cancelled with no explanation. Absolutely disgraceful.

Great breakfast with plenty of choice. Full English or toast with jams. I would like the option of bacon/sausage sandwich. Bottomless coffee and tea!

Been in for a Christmas meal for 12 people tonight. Amazing Customer Service that went that extra mile to make it extra special. Shout out to assistant manager, who went above and beyond, her customer service and smile were exceptional: Thank you

Our local Carvery place. Lovely staff and brilliant service.

We attended for a works party having the Christmas fair - amazing value for money, service was brilliant, all staff were efficient and friendly, the food was hot and fresh, the table was decorated for our festivities too! Fully recommend the party menus.

Delicious food, refreshing drinks, greatly priced, very warm welcoming friendly atmosphere

My daughter took me here morning the Carvery. My first time not hers, but we we've greeted my staff, shown to a table and had a lovely carvery! I'll be coming here again soon!

We had a great carvery but the cauliflower was rock hard and the meat was cut so thin it was a joke.i think when you pay you should expect a nice slice of meat.roast parsnips would have been a nice touch but overall it was a very nice meal

We as a couple enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the staff were excellent.

Had a lovely family meal to celebrate my husband’s birthday tonight, food was lovely as always, a big thank you to Megan for the extra special dessert, it made his day 🙂

We went for a carvery, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

The staff and management were top notch. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

The service was extremely slow 🐌. Some orders completely wrong and a staff member shook her head at us when we brought up the order was wrong. Pudding that should of been warm were cold.

All straightforward pleasant staff and food nice and hot will be back!

I didn't eat here on this occasion, but i have dined here in the past and the food is always freshly cooked, and is beautiful. The staff are polite and friendly and happy to deal with most requests.

Came here 22nd November 2024.had carvery. Tbh was very surprised. Roast potatoes were like jacket potatoes,veg on par. And meat think slices and tasty. Gravy lovely. Can't really fault anything apart from veg could be replenished more. Hardly any mash and veg. But I managed to get what I needed.

Very disappointed, went for a carvery was not told when we payed at the bar that there was no meat left, so we had to have sausages..

I had a large carvery Meal today and it was beautifully 😋 And the staff were very welcoming and friendly and the gravy was beautiful xxxxx

It's OK Worth a visit Good customer service

Highly recommended meat was perfect good choice of veg ...If you want a banging carvery come here if not mcdonalds are down the road

We came for breakfast plenty of option self serve

Delicious carvery, well worth a visit.

Great food at a great price. Felt a bit squashed in because all the tables are very close together but I can understand they need to maximise how many people they can seat.

Food very reasonably priced yet cooked beautifully.Staff very friendly and helpful,it's a relaxed cosy environment.They serve the food until 9pm and do blue light card discount.They also told us it's undergoing a refurb in new year but until then give it a try..we definitely will go again.x

Great Carvary good value also have a Takeaway option to eat at home

Since leaving my original review unfortunately I've had a very bad experiance with this place. Placed an order at 15.54 with delivery expected 16.30-16.50 and at 17.54 still no sign of my order. Phoned to find out where my order was to have a very snarky lady on the phone tell me there is nothing they can do and my order wasn't prepared yet, 2hrs later. I then asked to speak to the manager as this service and attitude isn't welcome to be told she is the manager and she's starts to have a rant down the phone. If this is the manager she needs some retraining as this isn't how you speak with discruntled customers. She then puts the phone down rather than resolve the issue. I will not be ordering from them again. Utterly awful experiance and customer service none existent. Do not order for delivery.

Having ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and roastie potatoes to takeaway, I waited 30 minutes and then had to ask how long it would take. The meal came out 5 minutes later. The roasties were delicious however the pizza was burned black on the bottom, but the stuffed crust was barely melted. I enjoy the carveries at this place but would not have a pizza again.

Booked a table for 6:30, arrived and was told just to sit anywhere. Couldn't find a table free that didn't need used glasses or plates clearing. Ended up on take 7 after moving half a dozen glasses and a couple of empty bottles to the side, where they stayed until we had finished our meal and we're eventually cleared away. They looked very understaffed, others who were seated before us had only just got their food after we had eaten our carvery so can't have been a great night. We unfortunately timed our visit with a hoard of screaming children at a birthday bash who seemingly couldn't be controlled by anyone which didn't help. Carvery was nice but all in all a disappointing experience tbh.

Lovely carvery and breakfast, even nicer when you get the 50% off through the app.

Went tonight a spur of the moment decision we haven’t been for a long time. The service we received was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were perfect. The restaurant was clean and comfortable and the three members of staff we interacted with were all very polite and friendly. The turkey meat is still the best in the area by far we always enjoy the turkey meat at the De Rhodes.

Breakfast is ok when you drop on items coming out of the kitchen & it's hot. However, with the plates being really cold, everything soon goes cold very quickly.

Consistently a great carvery. Always good service with staff that are always helpful. Value for money too.

The carvery was excellent value for money

Very nice and helpful staff nice atmosphere. Breakfast well laid out and looks nice and taste good will return good value for money

Awesome burger and carvery meal we both enjoyed our food immensely. We will be coming back here

Good food Atmosphere very good Friendly service with no rushing

Didn't eat here. Coffee was good and a pleasant atmosphere was favourable.

Came for breakfast this morning, Food was all burnt, no-one to take your order and very little food out. Will not be coming back.

Went today for a carvery. Won't be going again meat was thin as owt .dirty place and women's toilets sticky on floor and my son waited half an hour for his food . And our table was dirty too

Truly utterly awful. If you like cold food and a long wait for it accompanied with hurried poor service, this is the place for you. Not an isolated incident either. Avoid and find somewhere better.

Great food, excellent customer service from friendly staff

We visited with a large group of 22 for an early lunch carvery and then teatime meal on the same day. We had excellent service from all the staff for both meal times. That said I would like to say a special thanks to Megan who really went above and beyond in staying beyond her hours to ensure the coordination of all the meals out of the kitchen and drinks for so many people. Thank you

Enjoyed lovely meals here today, and our party was taken care of by the best waitress Megan. Thank you for making our visit so pleasant. Will definitely return.

This is a nice place. Beer is good, food is good. I like the roast carvery. Staff are great, they make the place feel really homely. Will definitely keep coming here.

Best burger ever.polite staff, beautiful carvery.well recommended.exellent experience.well done

Amazing place to eat, we come all the time food is so nice and we will continue coming for the foreseeable! Love it here, Meg is always polite to us and chatty when we come too.

Me and my sister visit regular, we enjoy it every time, Megan and Louise are great! Recommend 100%!

We came for breakfast today and it was lovely to see the big variety. I was unsure about breakfast pizza but it was really nice. I like that mushrooms are now included in the breakfast. It was nice and fresh.

Absolutely the best around for a cheap dinner at the best value, our carvery today was out of this world. Pigs in blankets are my favourite! Shout out to Meg she was great with our little boy, really friendly.

Called for an early lunch on Thursday and we really enjoyed the food. The new jalapeño doughnuts are amazing! I like the Mac n cheese and it’s now got dough balls with it which I like. I’m looking forward to visiting again soon.

Great stop for a quick lunch, we love it here drop in regular. Megan is always lovely and smiley when serving, great establishment!

Great experience today, had a delicious pizza, Megan was great with our son and his allergy!

Best carvery around, cheap dinner but excellent quality, Megan was brilliant at serving us, very smiley!

10/10 service today from Megan, Louise and erica they made our visit a great one. Shutout to the chef food was spot on, definitely my favourite carvery.

Brilliant experience, there's nothing I could fault about it! The food is beautiful, I go 3 times a week. The staff are excellent,megan always makes sure our needs are met,nothing is ever too much trouble.

Great food and service, the staff are very polite and welcoming 😊

Visited today all the staff were very welcoming. Jane served us at the bar and Megan came and had a chat with us, didn’t wait long for the food, ordered scampi with bread and butter. Louise checked everything was ok with our meal and fetched us extra drinks.

Shambles, mardy staff, limited choice, too busy sorting lunch. Got a refund.

Great service from Louise. Lovely hot carvery!

Queue out the doir for carvery, lumpy gravy not great. Fatty meat

The food is decent but they never clean the knifes and forks and it's absolutely disgusting and it's hard to find clean ones to eat with
