De Rodes Arms in Bolsover

Absolutely fabulous although the night was a bit like visiting a faulty towers restaurant in that; no staff were in attendance on the carvery so we had to wait. A lot of the food looked dry and emaciated. The gravy bowls were bone dry on the condiments table as was the mint sauce. The queue to get drinks was a total fiasco as there was large group in attendance. Despite all of the above issues the team at De Rodes dug deep & were genuinely happy at their work And most importantly they solved every issue instantly calmly & apologetically. I take my hat off to them. The food in the carvery actually tasted yummy and once all the meats and empty foods had been replaced things got cooking realy quickly ( excuse the pun😆) . The cohesive teamwork shone through as one team member dealt with the large group taking pizza 🍕 orders and ensuring they were married to correct customers. Whilst the young man on the carvery apologised for absence and got someone to fill up all the empty condiments. Voila! The food was super tasty and the large group were catered for and fed back they had enjoyed thier experiences. The De Rodes team gave a masterclass in how to manage a busy midweek eatery successfully. The fact they actually offer a carvery midweek is a bonus. Every member of the Stonehouse team was engaged and committed to making the experience of all its patrons the best possible. Well done the De Rodes Arms Stonehouse⁴ 👏 🙌

I had pizza and loved it followed with chocolate pudding great

Erica was nice to take my order, the staff was amazing, the place is amazing and the food was great and nice.

The service from Erica and all the staff was very good. We all had a fantastic visit and will return soon.

Really lovely food & great service. Erica was very helpful and couldn't do enough for us. Also, Vicky served us our food & was very friendly & helpful.

Food was lovely and staff were nice and friendly. New items on menu are also lovely!

Fantastic service and great atmosphere. Highly recommend

I have traveled an hour to see family thought we’d go for some food here, unfortunately my wife’s lasagne was not cooked properly and when we sent it back it was just heated up and not a fresh one. We then ordered pudding and when it’s says a warm chocolate cookie you expect it to be warm! But it was it was stone cold. Again sent it back literally just had the ice cream scraped off and thrown in the microwave. Absolutely unacceptable.

We had the carvey and the beef was really nice and tender. My wife had the stuff crust margarita and it was really nice and fresh.

We booked for a group of us to have drinks and tapas style food and it was great. We had the jalapeño dougnuts, tempura prawns and garlic flat bread then a pizza. We had the veggie supreme pizza which was freshly made and really nice! The drinks were good and an average value too.

Came for breakfast first in a long time,wish went elsewhere food cold. Will not come here again

Very nice food and good staff are very friendly and helpful at hen is needed

Went today everything was fine apart from my grandson's he was only allowed 1 meat carving on his plate which was very small, been going to there other pub young vanish were he was given two meats and decent pieces very generous,

I feel that all enthasis is given to the carvery, ordered a burger and chicken sandwich, left waiting for ages, when it came the burger was ok but my chicken sandwich was pathetic and the roast potatoes were still hard in the middle, I know it's a cheaper option but for goodness sake at least make it worth eating!

We came as a mixture of friends and family and we ordered a variety of food and it was all nice. The cocktails were nice as well. One of us had the non alcoholic ones which looked just as good as the alcohol ones which was good so no one felt left out.

Good food and good atmosphere. It’s always a nice pint too.

My first visit last night. Pizza was on special offer 50% off so we decided to order it. It did take about 25 mins to come but they were making it from fresh. The staff were lovely and the pizzas were nice. I'd rather wait to have freshly cooked food like this it was worth it. Recently been refurbished it was really good.

Gone down hill since reopened, child had a cavary, was waiting for the women behind the counter to pass us a plate, she was sorting an online order out which took her nearly 10 minutes, got to the end of the food and was no Mash potatoes left, which is mainly what my child eats, the women behind the counter said it shouldn't be long just waiting for Mash, took over 10 minutes so by time the Mash came out my childs meat and other vegetables had gone cold, the Mash came out looking dry, then waited for our food which was a burger and it was the smallest chicken piece I had ever seen ( prices going up and food getting smaller), seemed like it had been over cooked, also we ordered a starter at the end of our meal and it took 30 minutes for it to come we asked where it was and they said they had took it to another table and was doing another. Will not be returning.

Fabulous food and amazing service from Erica and her staff. Brilliant

Food took over an hour and 15 to come and no long wait time was indicated when we got there. Pizza toppings (the ones they remembered to put on) were cold and they forgot our chips brought them out 15 mins after mains. Bit disappointing tbf

Fantastic breakfast guys keep it up! LOVE the new refurb added some pictures for you all to see

Large pub restaurant, refurbished 2025. Carvery 10.49.

Bar staff was very rude. I have worked and run pubs

Brilliant food, really generous portion sizes and really friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Visited with family for a birthday and anniversary treat. Food cooked fresh, the Hot Honey Porker pizza was amazing. Carvery well stocked. Well worth a visit. Big car park.

Came for tea and had fantastic service all round. The server Leah was helpful and when we had to amend and order there was no fuss and she even gave us an alternative which worked better

Gone downhill waiting a long time

Lovely new refurb. Great pizzas and pasta dishes. The staff are all friendly and helpful with all giving 100% despite the pub being very busy.

The staff couldn't do enough for my mother who is gluten and dairy free thank you will certainly be back hopefully all the other chain restaurants do the same

Not enough staff, the food from menu was over an hour wait, Carvery tinned veg and frozen Yorkshire pudding, no roast potatoes left no other roast veg at best grim

Had a really lovely Sunday roast, the beef, which is rib, was absolutely the best. There was a selection of turkey, gammon or beef. A good selection of vegetables too. A definite must for Sunday roast.

The manager Erica was excellent and went the extra mile for our table of ten. Brilliant time and excellent service. Erica made it a great time.

The staff are the best and the food is always delicious

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

Quite a few products not available

Had a amazing carvery at lunch time on Friday food was hot the vegetables was tasty had lots of flavour to them and the roast potatoes was lush would highly recommend

Terrible. Ordered through justeat for delivery. Estimated delivery time was 30-45 mins. We waited 1 hour 45 mins!! We called after 1 hour, 1 hour 15 and 1 hour 30 minutes. They tried to lie to me on the first call saying the driver will be here in 2 minutes however, the sentence previous to this was that they haven’t got any orders but then obviously found it when I reeled it off. So they had not seen our order which is why it took over double the time. We also ordered 5 pick and mix starters and only 4 came. When it did come the food was stone cold. Stick to in house food because your delivery service is shocking. We certainly won’t be using this place again

We had exelent service from Vickie we had a problem at the till Vickie kept saying she was sorry but it was the till not her but she kept on it untill she sorted it emma came to the table to make sure we was happy with our meal she spoke to us for quite a long time while we where waiting for our Deserts she was very polite and know a great deal of the company which was very good HATS OFF TO THEM BOTH fantastic service all round.

All staff was very accommodating and good was lovely.

Hi I came to de rodes arms for my lunch had a lovely cooked carvery thank you vonnie for the lovely service at carvery deck and a massive thank you to the back of house team Lovely service from Vicki Emma Leah Kirsty Christina cj for the fantastic friendly and welcoming manner of the professionalism within the workplace

We called in for breakfast has we do every week staff looked miserable waited 10minutes for beans (We gave up) think we will stick to the young vanish Glapwell food always piping hot and plentiful staff are always friendly

Worst meal I have ever had there. The variety and quality of veg has always attracted us to the De Rhodes, unfortunately they appear to be cutting costs by using lots of potato dishes and cheaper veg. Very disappointing. Desert £1.30 for one scoop of ice cream or £5 for two. How have they worked that out? Worst visit by far.

We love our weekly visit it's a lovely place for food. Meg is the best about she always makes us feel welcome.

Hadn’t booked and was easily seated by friendly staff. 7 of us in total. Children and adults all happily fed

Such a lovely setting nice and clean very friendly

Em the lady that served us was fantastic and my child said awesome

Fab atmosphere great food great hostess / staff member only complaint gravy needs to be thicker

Amazing carvery, friendly staff, quick service Em behind the counter was so helpful and friendly and the rest of the staff were amazing at helping when you have fussy children.

Meg was brilliant at guiding us through our visit, she's polite and very chatty. We had a great lovely food and will be coming back.

Beautiful dinner, staff are brilliant. Meg Vicki and Leah were great at explaining everything for us on our visit and very welcoming. Then Emma who was on the carvery was polite and had a big smile. 10/10

Lovely experience at de rodes was lovely and clean our waitress vicky was lovely with the children and went out her way to do anything she can including bringing crayon to entertain the children thank you

Another great meal, always nice selection of veggies on offer and in newly refurbished surroundings.

De Rodes is always busy, and for a good reason, the carvery is legendary, friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, can highly recommend.

All smiles from the staff. All our food was hot and lovely. Great service e and the place is looking fabulous after refurbished

Plan for a Roast dinner tonite, a friend recommended D.R stone house , drive pass before and saw refurbishing. Just few miles away . Around 19:30pm Sunday , carpark nearly full . Walk in , get know limited carvery left only , other main dishes waiting times 40mins . So we order ( scan and mobile order ). Beer Large also limited 🙄. A carvery + three started Mix . Carvery sauce and those roasted vegetables taste good , we share for it . Than really waiting 45mins for ours 3 small starter plates. Will try again on week day and early hour . Thank you for the lovely staff servicing.

Absolutely fabulous Meg and Emma went above and beyond to make sure I had excellent service. Food incredible. Cannot rate high enough would give 6 stars if I could

Meg was brilliant with us at our meal last night, she was fast polite and gave us a great laugh! The food was so good and the place looks amazing!

Waiting ages for food , shocking service

Reopened after refit. Certainly brightened up the place and looks and feels more modern however, it does look like the company has tried to cram in as many chairs and tables as physically possible so now looks cluttered and would be difficult to get around if all tables are in use especially for disabled people. Staff are friendly and kind. Unfortunately, the carvery is not the best option for Gluten intolerance as there are a few dishes containing Gluten with no alternative option.

We had booked a table for 6.30 we were taken to our table and we chose to Oder via the app . Drinks came quickly with only a short wait for the starters to arrive . Unfortunately things went down hill after this after waiting nearly 40 minutes for our main course my husband went to the bar to enquire how long our meal would be and was told 10 minutes,so it took over50 minutes for our main meal. We then went to the bar to tell them we were ready for dessert, the server had told us to tell them when we were ready, after waiting 25 minutes my husband again went to the bar and we were told it would be 3 minutes 2desserts arrived as ordered it took so long for the third dessert to arrive that 2 of us had finished our dessert then the 3rd dessert was not what we had ordered but the server put the plate down and very quickly left before we could say anything. We felt the service was poor but it was entirely due to there not being enough staff on duty for the amount of customers. Overall we were disappointed.

How can people say its good value just paid over six pouds for icecream portion size was absolutely discusting not quality ive cream either tesco value icecream at best

Great food and atmosphere love what they have done with the remodelling and great service from Emma, lovely girl and very kind deserves a lot of credit.

Not bad.. Mediocre. They have put more tables in the restaurant and It makes it cramped.

Lovely pub! Went as a family with two little ones. The staff are excellent and helped keep the little ones entertained. The food was delicious we had pizzas and they are so reasonably priced. The puddings were fab very filling. Can’t wait to go back!

Just had. The carvery great value good food try it you won't be disappointed 😋 😉

Top notch carvery, really good stuff. That being said, I wouldn't order anything other than carvery when it comes to mains, as you're waiting significantly longer than it takes to get the carvery so it'll make your party's eating times very split. We came in for a Monday afternoon and I think it ended up busier than they expected but the waitresses were still lovely and the carvery chef was brill. Very good value for money in my opinion.

I used to work here, if the previous owners could see it now. Staff arguing with each other in front of customers. Checking to see if the meat was cooked in front of everyone. 45 minutes waiting for food after arranging a collection time, just eat/uber drivers leaving because their collections weren’t ready. Shameful. Left in the end without any food and still had to wait 25 minutes for a refund.

Reopening looks brilliant, food as good as before and staff are brilliant happy and smiley. Loving the new look, and atmosphere.

Amazing food here, the pizzas are stunning and the service is 10/10. Such lovely team working. Can’t recommend enough.

What a fabulous new look to De Rodes. The food, service, decor, outside area were all amazing. What a great welcome from the team too

Staff very friendly as always . Meg showed us to ou table and asked if we were OK with it and if we wanted to move to another one. . Very polite .

A warm welcome is always received the staff are always more than happy to help and accommodate your needs, the food is lovely and carvery always has a varied array of vegetables and cater well for vegetarians. The refurbishment to the decor has made the pub feel very homely and comfortable.

Amazing place so accommodating Louisa is a amazing lady always ready to please Karla from the kitchen goes above and beyond

First meal back after the refurb, absolutely fantastic meal. Great carvery, fresh and tasty. Especially the roast potato says best I've ever had in a long time. Desserts were fantastic, extremely filling and tasted great 100% recommend massive improvement can't wait for a meal there this weekend 😁

The pizza was very nice same with the pudding

Beautiful food, quick service and very polite waitress called Leah. Will definitely be coming again! Highly recommend 😁

Staff was very friendly on arrival, they got us a table very quick gave us all the information we needed to order from the menu with the QR code, the drinks arrived and the paper they give you to go up to get the Carvery came very quick even though the restaurant was busy. The food was excellent and well cooked, and seeing other people’s food going past all looked amazing. The only downside is we had trouble using a gift card for payment via the QR code.

Just tried the new menu and it was bloody beautiful couldn't fault it all all all came out red hot and not cold or warm which was a good thing.

Great night at the dry run for De Rodes Arms reopening after their remodel to Stonehouse 25! Some great new dishes and tweaks to old dishes. Thanks to Vanya and the team for hosting and providing great service as always!

This is a lovely pub, the food is great at a very reasonable price and great opening times for breakfast or dinner which ever you prefer or both! We often come here for an all the can eat breakfast and you do get a great choice, sometimes all of the items aren’t available and you have to wait for things but that’s to be expected when it is an all you can eat and some can eat plenty! The carvery is always lovely and fresh, no frozen carrots etc which makes a huge difference Great service from staff, they are always friendly and welcoming with any issues resolved straight away A little note for anyone wanting to visit, although Google states this is currently open, they are incorrect. This pub will be closed until the 28th of march for refurbishments! Please make sure you call before driving there.

Great carvery at the de Rhodes, barlborough The Turkey is my favourite 😋

Great food and service and great friendly staff 👍

Absolutely fantastic experience! Ambience was warm and inviting. I will be definitely coming back to this place and highly recommend it to everyone who’s looking for great food and an amazing service.

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.

Very poor and while I understand the place was due to close for a refit the lack of any kind of staff enthusiasm was off-putting. The carvery was OK but the kids meals were very disappointing both in size and quality

Ordered for delivery before 4pm. Estimated for 4:30, then estimated for 5:10 then estimated for 18:30. I’ve cooked my own dinner and ate it and bathed. Told my missus she can eat mine tomorrow for dinner. Place is absolutely pathetic. Don’t reply saying you hope our next experience is better, because there won’t be one.

Went for breakfast, not a wide choice of food, but really nicely cooked and you can go back as many times as you want

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.

The food was really nice and the staff are lovely.

We came with our 2 Grandkids who we bring up. 1st Time we have been, won't be the last. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Me, my husband and my grandad have come for a carvery today 19/02/2025. Me and my husband had the plant based chicken, the food is absolutely lovely all three of us absolutely enjoyed the the food. All the staff are absolutely friendly and polite. Will definitely come back here again my grandad enjoyed his meat, everything bit of food had plenty of flavour. I mentioned to my husband I could just eat the cheese and onion mash that was absolutely tasty. Loved all the food. There is no complaints from us three, I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a real good meal

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.

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

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

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
