Derby Arms Epsom in Epsom and Ewell

Great place to eat and have a few drinks alone or with mates. Very friendly staff and a warm and welcoming atmosphere

Fantastic food and Lydia who served our group was amazing thank you.

The service and food were AMAZING, and surprisingly the toilets were clean!

Fabulous venue, lovely food and excellent staff

Lady you served me behind the bar was very polite and friendly. The food was good and came fairly quickly.

Lily our server was great, very organised and attentive. A great meal

Went yesterday for bottomless brunch, food was very good and our waitress Grace was superb, thanks Grace.

Always an enjoyable experience.

Came in recently and was blown away by how friendly and polite the staff were, particularly Grace. Will be coming back!

Great service lovely food and nice friendly staff

Waitress was very friendly, food was very nice, nicer decor after your refurbishment.

Loved the food, amazing service!

Took my aged mum for lunch on a cold miserable Monday and the warm welcome we received by the roaring fire cheered us up no end. The staff were exceptional - especially our lovely waitress Lorraine ( hope I got that right!) made a mundane lunch really special for Mum. Decor is fab - menu delightful Highly recommended

Good service sitting in the sunshine. Varied and appetizing menu just had a refurbishment very busy but dealt with the volume of custmers

Your restaurant staff did not work together, the young waitress literally dropped the menues on the table without t even talking to us, it took 30 minutes to take order another 35 minutes for food, two of our drinks orders were Coke no ice, when they eventually arrived is was a glass of ice. Your dining area is cold we asked if they could turn the heating up and your waitress said she didn’t think it was working, at this point the e female couple on the table next to us said they were cold also, then a male member of staff came to the open fire place and tried to drag the fire closer to the opening, overall quite poor, food looked ok but was rather tasteless not as good as your social media posts would have to think, as a online creator you need a few tweaks to improve as the local competition is of a more polished standard.

Forgot to put reserved tag on table, when hostess walked to what she had detailed it was already occupied with now reserved. Told us to sit where we wanted. Table we found was unstable, asked bar staff , twice to help out, was given a bunch of napkins to stable it out.

What a gem, the foods amazing I can highly recommend the Lamb it was cooked to perfection. Staff are lovely and friendly. The only disappointing part was they wouldn’t give me the Gravy recipe 😂 seriously what a gem and atmosphere is cosy and inviting.

New refurb looks brilliant. Host Megan was great can’t wait to come back.

Lovely setting, amazing food and stunning service (thank you David!)

Service was a little slow. Had to find waiter to get drinks

David and harry were a brilliant chat and made us feel really comfortable due to his excellent customer service skills giving us advice especially on the wine and dine menu

Went on Friday 1st November as part of their re-opening week. The food was absolutely top notch, as was the service. The refurbishment has given the place a fresh feel while retaliating its' quirky features and calm atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Great Sunday roast and good service by Lily and the team. Would highly recommend

went to the derby arms on Thursday, which had been closed and refurbish. on entrering the derby arms it was a real wow as its absolutely stunning when you enter.My family and i were seated on a beautiful table we had a lovely 3 course meal the staff were very attentive. There is lots to choose from on the menu. I would definitely recommend the Derby Arms.

Team are outstanding, remodel is super classy and food is exceptional- 10/10 would recommend

Wonderful food and service, staff are kind and attentive. Thank you especially Owen for making us feel so welcome!

Fantastic food and great new refurbished gastro pub. Varied menu to suit all, presentation perfect and all served by courteous and engaged staff. Great service from Eoin, Charlie and the team - always made to feel welcome and overall a very well run establishment.

Quality all round. Thanks Arron👍.

Great lunch thank you to Aaron, Eoin, Megan, Charlie and Harry for looking after us all

We were invited to the soft launch of the reopening and is surpassed all expectations, Matt our Waiter was incredible and the food was OUTSTANDING my scallop starter was the best I’ve ever had, would highly recommend xx

Fish and chips was excellent .the refurb looks amazing will definitely be back soon..

Felt great very welcoming and great food quality definitely will come back. Also the guy decorating is a genius must have been Polish.

I visited today following a beautiful remodel. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with happy, enthusiastic staff. Fantastic service and the menu has delicious gluten free options. I would definitely recommend a visit!

Excellent service from Eoin and the team and the Sunday roasts really hit the spot! We look forward to coming back again soon.

Meg, Charlie and Eoin were incredible! Stunning remodel, must visit 💕

Great place and great service on the day before they closed for a makeover

Very friendly staff, Great selection of drinks, Food was lovely, in paticularly the dirty burger, the beef dripping sauce was to die for

Great experience just before the pub closing for the refurbishment. I cannot wait to see how is looks when back open. The staff are amazing, service and food always on point. Can't recommend enough.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Charlie has gone extra mile looking after us

Great place. Came on a Friday with my mate Gary. Had a blast. Yer one behind the bar was alright in all

Absolutely awful food. Ordered a sandwich with Humus & grilled vegetables on focaccia bread. I would have been terribly embarrassed to serve this supposedly food to my customers, The bread was thick & hard, hardly any humus & vegetable at all in it. I am killing myself still today for not complaining on the day. And I paid £12.50 for that. Do not recommend and will never go back. Rating is a big 0.

Visited here after a fantastic day out at the races across the road from Epsom Racecourse - The service was magnificent,really friendly & very helpful - I had the Roast Beef Dinner & it tasted delicious,a coke & glass of wine too - I highly recommend you pay a visit especially when you visit Epsom Racecourse 🥂🥂🥂🥂

Very good. Staff attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. Food cooked well nice flavours nicely presented.

Went to the derby arms for lunch today and was so pleased with the meal etc.!I had sea bass it was the best I’ve had in a long time so tasty. My friend had lamb shanks which he enjoyed. Deserts to die for 😋 the service led by Carla was great

Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Nice place to take kids for an early dinner. Slightly hit and miss service. Friendly and helpful but didn't write the order for a table if six down and then had to keep coming back to check the order. Ended up bringing the wrong dessert and took 15 mins to bring a bottle of wine.

Great pub with a very nice atmosphere and a really nice menu. We were a large group, about 30 and the food (had the chilli squid and slow cooked pork belly, did not try the deserts) and drinks were fantastic (I had a couple of Aperol spritzers). Cannot fault it. Our 2nd time there. Apologies to the management, my previous review was for the nearby Epsom Downs Racecourse!

Great pre race drink venue. Friendly staff for sure...

Came through to visit and found this lovely restaurant to done in. Grace was incredibly helpful finding the perfect with and Harry had the best ideas for local outings and food recommendations. Really held to the best standards and more than happy to visit on travels through again!

Enjoyed the food, well cooked and presented. The staff were attentive and friendly. One star short is that the glass could be polished when they came out of the dishwasher as the marks all over the glass, doesn't look clean.

Lovely food, we had a great table set in a windowed recess, excellent waiter who was so friendly. We were a table of 9 and he remembered all our orders perfectly without writing anything down. We come to the Derby Arms for our reunions and everyone enjoys it.

Very helpful staff. Great burgers at a good price.

Wonderful experience dining last week. Friendly staff and lovely food

Great pub on the downs, one of the best in epsom. High quality food, good service and decent surroundings.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing cocktail selection. Harry the bartender was very good!

We went in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The service was poor, one very extremely grumpy young girl. My friend and her daughter had finished there meal before myself and my two children had even received ours. Was ordered at the same time so I don't know why ours was so delayed especially as it wasnt very busy in there. When it did finally arrive my 5 year old daughters pizza was dry and very little topping and my steak sandwich was burnt. Parts of the bread were black and all very hard to chew. Really disappointing!

Great place for a drink - cocktails were amazing! Friendly, quick & efficient service from the bartender Harry as well. Will be sure to come back!

Wonderful Sunday Lunch, Served by Matt L

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with my family - the food was delicious and our waiter Matt was amazing - 5* service!

Throughly enjoyed my vist on Sunday with my pals. Steve Facey was DJing. Can I just say what a wonderful host Carla was, she's brilliant 👏🏼.

Amazing welcome on entry. Staff were polite and so friendly and helpful. Great food and atmosphere. Worth every penny. We were served by a lovely lady Carla who was fab. Will certainly be returning!

Great place to eat. Must like dags 😉

Amazing service from Megan the manager will be back

had a lovely late lunch here with my family and enjoyed every bit of it! lovely pub. Great atmosphere and great service, would come again!!!

Great food & lovely service - would definitely visit again :)

Lovely staff and food! I came in for an early lunch today and had a great time. The food, service and staff were all delightful, especially Matt who was incredibly helpful and a real delight. We will definitely be coming back! I would highly recommend

Had a great lunch at the derby arms today the food was amazing coupled with great service from Matt who extremely helpful and very friendly

Popped in for a quick lunch. The food and the service by Matt was out of this world! 10/10 would recommend to all your friends and family.

Owen was amazing so attentative and went above and beyond to make our night amazing

We always enjoy going for a meal here especially when we get discounts.We have always found the staff and service to be excellent and if There is something you want changed in menu they are happy to oblige and if something is not quite to your taste all you have to do is ask and they will rectify it .

Great location; the food was delicious, and the service was quick. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Convenient on-site parking is available, and the website offers booking functionality and displays the menu instead of a file to download. Overall, highly recommended.

£11 for a pint of beer and a pint of Coke. Won't be going back.

Enjoyed a lovely Saturday lunch

Excellent food. Staff were very good with our 18 month old grandson as well.

Lovely bar, thanks to Freddie who served us, very polite and efficient!

Lorraine was fantastic. 5 star waitress!!!

Great food drinks and hospitality

Love this pub, service is fantastic. Ross who was on duty really made me feel welcome. The lunch menu and the main menu has so much choice and the food is top notch. Well deffo come here again I would highly recommend this gastro pub and the atmosphere and friend are the big standout features. Well done Ross and the team for flying the excellent customer service flag.

Loved the service, food and experience at the Derby Arms. Looking for somewhere to eat dinner and decided to stop at the next place we drove by and glad we did. I ate the pork belly roast and it was delicious. The signature drinks from the bar were also amazing. The staff check on us regularly without overwhelming us.

Amazing lunch with friends, Megan and Harry were fab and the food was 10/10

A great place to catch up with friends and share a meal.

Fantastic establishment! Loved the food, loved the service, fantastic staff. Everyone should take the time to eat here!

Easy to park Champagne by the glass Pleasant staff Nice comfy seating What's not to like 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely delicious! Had the lamb and scallops which were perfection. Would recommend

Lovely atmosphere and the service was friendly and professional , lots of choices on the menu, will be back again for sure

Brilliant service and atmosphere - service from Charlie par excellence

Great evening meal in a relatively local spot! A few gluten free choices, all chosen were good.

Visiting on a Sunday with my boyfriend. Quick service, lovely food/drink and attentive staff. Would highly recommend if visiting the area!

We were a party of 6 and we all agree the food was excellent. One of the best places we have all agreed and enjoyed the food.

Good food (though small portions!), tasteful decor, but more importantly, absolutely fantastic service (my waiter was Matt)!

Unfortunately when we booked online we booked the pub instead of restaurant for 5pm, we arrived at 16.45 and our table was right at the busy bar. I asked, as it was early and restaurant was empty whether we could sit in restaurant as we had booked the pub by mistake. This request was reciwved with a short note by the manager as she had no availability! She did move us to a quieter part of the pub when I asked. When we left at circa 18.30 restaurant was still half empty, so from a service angle could have easily moved us into restaurant with no hassle to themselves Food itself was ok nothing special, my pie was not steaming hot and the sea food pasta was also not really hot and the chorizo was burnt. Burgers were fine

Think the best visit in all the years I have been coming! Was a Bank Holiday so we came later and it felt relaxed & in control which on other occasions has been lacking. Loving the starters and the cocktail list. The service was amazing from start to finish.

We dropped in here for a quick lunch with our 3 grand daughters (4, 6 and 9) in tow, we initially sat outside as it was very busy inside (bank Holiday Monday), however the clouds came over and it turned chilly and started to rain, so we ushered the kids inside and struggled to find somewhere for the girls to sit down and warm up. We had already ordered food while we were outside so we were committed to stay. We eventually found a small settee with a low table with enough room for the girls to squeeze in. Then our food arrives!, I managed to find a chair for my wife and a member of staff found me a chair. It was a bit of a squeeze but we finally managed to tuck in. The staff were great, the kids meals were very expensive for what they received and overcooked, the kids burger was particularly disappointing, it was more like a "tiny meatball" lost in a bun!. The adults meals were very nice, but minimal and again very expensive. The place itself seems very popular as it was packed tight, and a bit overwhelming for our grand daughters, so as soon as we finished we left. In summary it was a very expensive "quick lunch" costing almost £90 for 3x small children and 2 x adults. The kids drinks were way over priced at £2.25 each for a very small carton ,so not even a glass to wash up.

The service was very good. The food was below average- I asked for my fillet steak medium and it came out rare. My husband had some tender-stem broccoli which was inedible as it’s tasted/smelt like fire lighter- he also ordered the chocolate crème brûlée- it didn’t taste of chocolate and the sugar top was not caramelised so was raw sugar on top.

Lovely place, food really good quality! Service very quick, Charlie was an exceptional waiter.

Lovely place. Great service and food. Charlie was really attentive.

Came in for a drink and was served by Charlie.

Great food and even better service by the manager Charlie. Haven’t seen him before when we come in on weekends, but a great addition to the pub. He was professional, attentive and polite. Would highly recommend the crab starter and fish specials!

Exquisite flavors, impeccable service, cozy ambiance. A culinary journey worth savoring. Charlie's attentive service elevated our dining experience—knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Love the derby arms! Great food & cosy atmosphere, our waiter charlie was very helpful and had excellent customer service. Can’t wait too return

Very friendly service David and answered all questions that we put forward.
