De Rodes Arms in Bolsover

I had a large carvery Meal today and it was beautifully yummy 😋

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.

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.

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.

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.

The carvery was excellent value for money

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Great food, excellent customer service from friendly staff

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

This is one of the worst restaurant. Don’t order delivery from there

I'm being generous with the stars. The staff were lovely but when you order from your table a starter and have to ask where it is to then get your starter and have something missing and have to go find someone to retrieve the missing item it made me feel like well what's the point in ordering from the table if I keep having to get up and find someone to get what I've ordered. Food was good but some wasn't prepared as described

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

all polite and smiley and the food was so nice

The lady at the bar was lovely, the lady at the carvery was downright rude. The system for kids/carvery meals and queue didn't work very well. Pigs in blankets were tiny and disappointing, food was overall just ok.

Had diner at this place last weekend with my family ,great price great service

Visted many times for breakfast this week terrible. They were so busy packing just eat boxes Eggs you could bounce off the walls ,one egg full of egg shell ,bacon over cooked cold sausage same hot plate looked like world war 3 food every were not very inviting want eat another breakfast here again what a let down.Don't really deserve a one.

So delicious food,great service 10out of 10,looking forward to visiting again this place

Sunday afternoon carvery. Massive queue, stood for 30 mins for the carvery. Tasteless watery frozen?vegetables, rock hard stuffing and possibly the smallest Yorkshire pudding I've seen. 3 pigs in blankets additional £1.49. (cocktail size) Not even worth the weekly price. Nice mash and gravy.

Pizzas are bang on especially the fajita chicken with salsa,sour cream & guacamole tasted like a burrito on pizza. Sharing Starters are great value for money. Definitely worth revisiting.

Just wanted to say how amazing the staff was at de rodes tonight at my surprise birthday party ..... honestly genuinely every single member of staff was amazing and couldn't do enough..... thank u for making my 50th birthday so special 💓

Pending what time of day you go the food can be a bit dry, on a good day it's fine

Very disappointing dry only Luke warm Carvery

We were very disappointed with our visit today. We have been going to De Rhodes for years and do expect to have a little bit of a wait for the carvery but we arrived at 3.20pm for our 3.30pm booking and were stood in the queue for 45 minutes to get our carvery. Then once at the front of the queue, 1 family member had to wait another 5 minutes for a yorkshire pudding to complete his meal. In the meantime, our drinks had gone flat on the table as well. Granted the food was nice but not worth a 45 minute queuing time.

Turkey was raw, and desserts was just cream no bits of ice cream. Worst experience

Amazing staff. I can't praise the team enough. Anytime we visit, the staff are super attentive and we feel looked after. The food is not bad either. We only go for a roast or the pizza My only gripe is the decor. It's so old and I'm now 34 years old, I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed since I was a child. The carpets look dusty as well as high up on the ceiling. The dirty looking chairs and sticky tables/menus are just off putting. If they update the place I'd imagine they'd get so much more foot fall. Anyway. Great place in general, it just has a dirty feel about it which is not appealing when you want to eat. Again, the staff are probably cleaning.. It's just old as hell and needs changing now

Nice place always been good over the years

Nice pub tasty food great staff!!!

Had to. Wait for items so queue was veery long as no sausages tomatoes eggs and had to be refunded for mushrooms as they were going to be another 5-10 minutes. They were bringing out food that there was plenty off Due to dietary restrictions nothing I could eat was ready but plenty of other stuff was yet it was those items that kept being brought through from kitchen

The most longest queue for food, we were waiting 40 minutes to get served

Had a carvery today and Shane was serving the meats. Very good customer skills, made us feel very welcome. Great meal thanks Shane.

Enjoyed a tasty meal this evening. Shane, the chef was friendly, professional and helpful, a credit to the restaurant. Thank you so much.

Terrible don't waste your money. Six of us went chips cold burger cold two pizzas burnt as for carvery well the man serving had NO customer skills what so ever not a word uttered only MEAT I said beef please just passed the plate still not a word the green beans was all dry i like carrots but not suede so why would you put them together then looking at roast potatoes I was undecided they looked hard as rocks then what really put me of was two long hairs in them my husband told one of the other workers out kitchen he made a joke well its not mine and yes he did swop them but that really put me off sat down to eat I had one fork full and that was it all I could think of was them hairs. So all in all nearly 100 pound what for .... RUBBISH

Came for Sunday dinner, carvery que a little Slow but the staff on the floor where very polite and chatty.

Lovely staff, carvery was lovely

Stopped off here on a day out. Was greeted on arrival and told we could sit anywhere so we chose a table in the window. We looked at the menu and chose carvery so 2 out of the 3 of us headed to the bar to order drinks and food. We placed our drinks on the table and we all headed to the carvery. As I got to it a member of staff asked if I was sat at a certain table number, to which I didn’t know. She then very publicly said that we are and it was reserved for this family and pointed to a different table. I said we didn’t know it was reserved, we were told we could sit anyone on arrival and there was no sign saying reserved. I’ve never been made to feel so embarrassed in a restaurant like that! She then told me it was fine for now and we didn’t need to move for now. We got our food and sat down but worried the whole time that she would come and ask us to move. I messaged them using Facebook that evening who replied instantly with an apology and that they’d look into staff training. She also confirmed that the table was not reserved and that we were in the right to choose and sit at that particular table. Unfortunately this is not a place I will be returning to!

Lovely carvery when I came with family.Great service from Louise the veg and meat was lovely and fresh.

absolutely amazing! Louise welcomed us with open arms, brought the food and was just gave us an overall amazing experience 10/10!

called for tea last week and a carvery was lovely,nice and hot very fresh. Louise was really helpful and polite really enjoyed my meal

We are regular visitors here for years! Never been let down, ...oh, except for one time they had a staff shortage and we had to wait a long time for the food. Every other time we pop in, find a table (and it's number), head off over to the bar (short queue or none), order the food and wait. Excellent choice of carvery options. The mashed potatoes are lovely! Average wait for another meal (not a carvery) is about 10/15 minutes. Lovely atmosphere inside even though it's on a rural roundabout! Try it. Its worth it.

Lovely food very busy, only complaint long queue at carvery and took a long time to get served , problem being the same chef serving meat was also having to stop serving while doing the takeaway meat as well

Excellent the staff are amazing

2 of 7 meals did not get brought out, including a child’s meal. 5 meals were served after an hour and after 1 hour 30 and multiple requests to staff on the missing meals the other 2 meals were still being prepared. Had to cancel two meals in the end. Very poor

Worst carvery I've ever had in my life. Peas were like bullets, mash potatoes were hard, roast potatoes tasted disgusting, the meat was fatty & hardly had any on my plate. The best thing was the yorkshire puds (which are obviously frozen ones). Pub is not very clean, and they are far more bothered about the just eats orders than those in the restaurants. Would never ever return again

Vegan carvery option not available. No vegan option on the gravy. Good selection of beers and service was acceptable given how busy it was for Sunday lunch. Booking highly recommended for Sundays.

Nice people. Busy at 6pm on a Friday. Typical Stonehouse food. Busy on a Saturday evening but still a decent place to go.

The staff were friendly on arrival and throughout our meal time. The food was great we had the carvery the meat looked fresh and the veg did as well it wasn’t dry like some places I’ve visited. BRILLIANT keep up the good work. I will defiantly be going there again

Went 4th September for birthday carvery arrived 6: 30 to be told they were waiting on meat for carvey which wouldn't be ready until 7:45 most dissapointed. As we had someone in party with allergies who was unable to have anything off the menu we left.

Food was lovely but my carer was watched as she cut up my food because she only ordered a drink. (breakfast time). One member of staff (not in uniform as I believe to be senior staff) snapped at kitchen staff in front of us customers and was moaning about other staff. No one at the till for a while when we tried ordering had to shout through to kitchen staff. Food was lovely but senior staff made it uncomfortable. Won't be rushing to return, we usually have a great time.

Full carvery after 12 $8.99 pork turkey beef veg all very nice

Really tasty breakfast this morning with my husband. Lovely manager, felt very welcome, will return

Really nice Stonehouse we didn't know was so close. Staff friendly and Louise really took her time to attend to our allergy needs. Tasty breakfast and easy to get served

Wonderful bar and floor staff. Great food

I attended a meal at de Rodes with my lovely wife this week and was served by the lovely Rachel who’s mannerisms were upwards from perfect thank you so much to team de Rodes

been twice, first time had something off the pizza menu and there was a clump of hair. risked going again and had a ‘cavery’ bland sloppy overcooked food. service extremely slow

Popped in for breakfast it was buffet .it was all full and fresh .

Sunday lunch we came it was busy but the staff were great at making sure our food was delivered quickly. The carvery was beautiful and I will definitely make a return. Thank you to Megan who made sure we got a table and was great with the customers.

We came in on Sunday for carvery. The hostess Megan was brilliant assisting with our elderly guest and her dietary needs. The rest of the staff were polite and food was the best we’ve had in a long while. Despite it being busy, everything was efficient and great experience.

Sunday 7pm....the carvery was poor. Only choice of turkey or gammon, some of the veg was unusual( leaks in cheese sauce??) Only a few people in so atmoshere was muted.

A good place for a Carvery offering the usual 3 meat choices and range of different vegetables. There is also a reasonable gastropub menu. On our visit the roast potatoes were rock hard but I guess that's just a timing thing and I doubt they are like that normally. One negative comment has to be that in the conservatory part of the pub the seating is very very close. If you lean back too far you're in danger of banging heads with the person behind you 😂

Huge credit to Emma the chef, the best food I've ever had, thank you!

The food was smashing,they accommodated my allergy to gluten ensuring I had the extra stuff I needed. Staff are really nice, chatty always up for a good conversation.

We went to De Rodes storehouse carvery. The lady that booked us in was lovely. We chose what we were having and went to order. Megan (moody megan) behind the bar looked like she didn't want to be there, no greeting and no smile. We ordered and sat down to wait for our starter. Looked at the cutlery it was filthy with food stuck to it. When the mushrooms came I bit into one and oil spurted across the table. Went to get the 2 carvery. Stood for 10 mins while they sorted out the take away orders. When the chef came I asked if there was any beef. The chef said no so the choice was Turkey or gammon. The stuffing and some concoction with Swede were dry . The only decent thing was the cauliflower cheese. One of our party had simply burger. The burgers were very thin dry and somewhat over cooked and sat on 1 small lettuce leave. When we went to stack the plates they were stuck to the table. Never will I eat there again.

I recommended you to my ex-husband and his family for a birthday treat. They were DISGUSTED. The knives and forks were dirty, The bar staff found it very hard to raise a smile, most of the food was not fit to eat. My Ex has been up all night with stomach problems due to the small amount of food he did eat. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. DON'T GO.

Always enjoy my meal, enough to come 4 times a week. It's beautiful carvery and the staffalways make me feel happy a d welcome.

Lovely food as always! I always have a carvery and its always nice. Louise is fab.

I came this morning for breakfast this morning for the first time in years and was very disappointed with how much this place has gone downhill! After waiting a while to be served at the bar an angry youngish lass finally turned up to take our orders with no customer service skills whatsoever although I did understand why After a while as she seemed to be the only one doing the serving and was the only one out on the floor aswell. She spoke to the kitchen staff from the bar area and the kitchen staff jumped down the poor girls throat so the girl rightfully snapped back. It wasn't busy at all otherwise I would have understood the tension. The food was awful and cold, my friend paid for mushrooms but there was none out so After he had got the rest of his food he asked about the mushrooms after about 5 minutes of him standing there with his food they finally turned up with them which were cold and so was the rest of the food! I don't know if this is a one off and they were just having a bad day or if this is how it always is but I certainly won't be going back to find out! Such a shame it used to be a lovely place!

Absolutely amazing dinner service I can tell why people come here for their lunch can’t wait to bring the family would deffo recommend. The food was outstanding love how much u get for the price you pay bar staff friendly all staff very welcoming

Not happy was once a frequent visitor. Will never return beef, potatoes and Yorkshire puddings rock hard meat dried up. Went to pay lady said about £36 for two meals, soft drink and half pint beer, no receipt given. Queried with another member of staff they had charged for three meals! Check you aren’t being ripped off! Emailed complaint only came up with should have said about food whilst there and oh well overpayment was rectified no apology received via email disgusted.

We went to the de rhodes for my daugters birthday 15th august 24 4 adults and 2 5 year olds pricing was reasonable the food however i ordered a dirty philly burger the burger patties were dry and crunchy massively over cooked not nice at all also 1 of my 5 year olds pizza was totally forgotten we visit quite often but i wont be doing so in the future dissapointing

We had breakfast. Everything was great. Lovely, friendly, helpful staff.

Went yesterday for lunch with friends excellent carvery .I was told about the breakfast too so will have to return to give it a go

Good to order from the QR code.
