Eaton Farm in Erewash

Food is not the strong point but the lager and beer is good

The carvery is always superb, the meats are tender and delicious, also we love the vegetable selection. Mash potatoes with tasty gravy with mint sauce, cranberry sauce plus other sauces to tempt your palette.

I live in Leicester and drive almost an hour to get here. I love the Sunday Roast they make here. I think it's one of the best in the UK.

Had 30% discount offer on line but told when served that this doesn't apply to small carveries. Always has been in the past. Not shown as excluded on email. As far as I know a small carvery IS a main meal.

Food was dreadful. Real ale was warm and not nice

Bloody awful they invited me to have a main meals with a 30% off voucher but wasn't allowed to have what I wanted so I left and went elsewhere

2nd time hear food plenty 😋 realy enjoyed it 😋

Carvery food was good for the price.

We arrived for an evening meal - a group of 11 adults on a special occasion - expecting a carvery meal. We were disappointed to be told that the carvery had sold out! The food that we did eventually choose was very nice, but if you offer a carvery all day, you really ought to have enough in stock, particularly with a large group having been booked in for the evening.....

Good food, good service, reasonably priced.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Had the carvery and can’t complain.

Service was quick and excellent Guy who served the carvery was pleasant and efficient Food was delicious Me my husband and two children had lovely family time together. And being able to use meerkat made it even better

Great food and efficient service...Carvery was amazing.

Food hot and fresh. Great value for money, and dog friendly.

Tilly the barmaid was lovely and the pub was clean and tidy - nice food and drinks was recommended by several friends and did not disappoint thank you 😊

What a dreadful meal from the start. 4.30 pm hardly anyone in there all veg covered over once uncovered it was rock hard stuffing, dried up carrots, rock hard roast potatoes and mash with a skin on , brown cabbage (which my hubby put on his plate to my disgust, but he never ate it) looks like it’s been sat under the lights all day when I asked what’s happened to that he said yeah it’s been busy all day I’ve been run of my feet?? I asked for fresh cabbage and then fresh stuffing to be told it would be 15min? Which I replied well that’s no good is it? 5min later was bought over fresh cabbage and fresh stuffing but was still a very disappointing meal. The attitude of the restaurant manager was appalling no apology or anything … picture of the rank food being served !! AVOID

Lovely food except for hard veg ,it does seem the norm nowadays but maybe not a good idea ,also very runny cauliflower cheese ,but all in all a very good experience.

Always a warm welcome from the staff, Danny, Wayne, Sammy and Tracy the chef who helped me with my choice of food as im doing slimming world diet, and lacto intolerance

5* pub service went for a 40th brithday meal with friends and my hubby had a balloon brithday cake which was brought across by Danny the manager lovely service really enjoyed my time there loved the scampi and chips my hubby loved his carvery a good time was had by all thank you ever so much to Danny Wayne and Sammy will definitely see you again soon thank you ever so much for making my birthday celebrations special xxxx

Just had a lovely Sunday Lunch at the Eaton Farm, Long Eaton not been here in years we'll be back soon ! 😁

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a nice family afternoon meal and quality time together.

Nice friendly welcome, food always very good,although the carvery self help food this time wasn't as hot as it usually is,but overall a very nice dining experiance, Plenty of car parking and a good few disabled bays too..The chairs however don't lend to a comfortable sitting,especially if you have bacl/leg/spine issues,need to be firmer and taller.

Service great Food great Clean and warm

I ordered the 2 for £9 takeaway giant cakes but wasn't expecting what I took away. Carrot cake was a good slice and looked nice but not the lemon meringue. Was given 2 thin pieces of lemon cake. Not impressed so won't bother with these again. However, carvery is a different matter, that is outstanding!

Food is always fresh and hot. Yorkshire puds are quite a disappointment though, there is no taste to them

Amazing staff and amazing service

Have been coming to Eaton Farm for years now. Great carvery, accommodating and always feel welcome. Thank you!

Nice atmosphere. Great service, very welcoming staff. Luke served me at the bar. Seemed a breath of fresh air. We had the carvery which was nice. Plenty of choice. Carrots looked like they had been sat a while but tasted nice. I’m surprised to see such a vast menu along side the carvery. So much choice. But I think I’d stick to your carvery. Love the cake to take away idea. And regretted not getting one. Not that I needed it after my carvery. But they looked so nice.

Very good value carvery. Good selection of meat and vegetables. Good beer.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Carvery was perfect.

We had a table booked for my mums 60th. The staff were accommodating and let us keep a cake and candles in the back. The service was good and we all had a carvery which was probably the best carvery i have had. The whole vibe was nice and we left very happy

The food was cold. I sent it back and it came back with a warm plate but the food was still cold.

Meal for 2 Staff lovely Food great - mixed grill & hunters chicken

Was really looking forward to a nice meal had a good walk round west park had a nice day , I would rate the food but we couldn’t even order was stood waiting in queue for 20 mins so we got fed up and just left spoiled our day really as it left us frustrated ( and hungry ) cause we don’t get much time together when we are at work all the time , not quite sure why there’s a big lit up carvery sign smack dab in the middle of the place looks tacky won’t be going back which is a shame it’s very local to us this was our first time going in and will be our last

Been today. We had 3 steaks on the offer. Awful! I had mine with salad that had long past its sellby date. Mushrooms were cooked many times & shrivelled. Onions rings were very hard as were the peas. Will not be going again. £40 Thrown away. Carpet was in dangerous state as assistant was told.

Last minute carvery choice for Sunday lunch will definitely be first choice next time

Just needed a chainsaw for the roast potatoes

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The carvery was nicely cooked and hot.

Lovely atmosphere. Staff helpful and kind. *****

Lunch with a friend. Delicious carvery. The meat was lovely. Good value for money

The food was delicious and we all enjoyed it. The only downsides were that the pub wasn’t showing on the website for us to order via the QR code, plus it was a long wait for desserts.

Breakfast with Santa was absolutely wonderful. My grandson had a very special time and the entertainers were great, professional and patient with the children. Food as always was fab. Overall a great experience

It was a quick visit for a late lunch, found a spare table, nice that it was clean already as the place was busy, and all too often you end up with a table that’s just been vacated and isn’t clean. Ordered online, everything came to the table in a timely fashion and tasted great. Staff were friendly, not too much interaction as ordered online, but all seemed very pleasant.

Carvery is lovely. Nice choice of meats and veg something for everyone. The basic menu is very similar to most pub grub ie burgers, steaks, pies,chicken etc but at a reasonable price. But for me the carvery everytime.

A very nice place to visit, the food is more than acceptable for the price, drinks are not too pricey and it's in a good location.

Gritty vegetables, small amount of meat. Ice hadn't melted in my drink by the time I finished meal. Cold room, cold meal. Won't return

Friendly, helpful staff, quick service, and a pleasant atmosphere.

The food was amazing, the meat melted in your mouth. Vegetables cooked perfectly and so tasty! Potatoes again, cooked amazingly! Such a lovely environment, so comfortable and the staff are so friendly and helpful!

Great carvery but costs more on Sunday's. Can get a bit crowded at the bar. Staff very helpful

Used to love coming here for a family carvery and could not ask for anything else , staff were nice, food was delivered quick and tasted amazing having the play park outside was amazing and the kids wanted to stay longer than us🤣

Only worth going when discounts are offered due to the high end prices for a standard pub. Its cheaper and nicer at the nearby Bulls Head. They don't have enough staff to cope at discount times. And they get flustered easily - got a right bit of lip when I suggested that an inoperative till area should have a sign to say that its not in use.😕 Expect over 30 minutes wait for non-carvery food. Choice of a few beers, but needs to 'up the game' with cask ales, especially considering the brewery that owns them. Reasonably clean and tidy with good service, but starting to look a bit tatty around the edges now. Decent food but pricey beer. Needs more veggie or vegan options on main meals. Good for everyone from young families to couples, to discerning pensioners. Dog friendly. Perfectly located - bus stop outside and plenty of parking. Just basically need to get their act together.

Thursday steak and drink was excellent.

3 deep at the bar, 3 serving behind it, so queuing for 10-15mins to purchase anything, including carvery tickets. Generally food was 3 stars (undercooked beef, overdone roasties) whereas to be fair, we would have given 4 stars on the last visit, but that's Eaton Farm - up and down in food quality. Really unsure why a carvery ticket goes up in price for Sunday's ...

Excellent experience with the carvery. Must try...

Always nice atmosphere and the Ultimate SFC burger was amazing!!

Brilliant place going for Xmas daythis place is far cheaper than a toby carvery and the bar man is very friendly

Excellent and friendly service. We met up with six friends and all chose from the carvery. Everyone enjoyed the food. My husband and I drove 90 miles from Oxfordshire (which is why it has been a while since our last visit) but we intend to return every six months.

Good pub chain, food above average, atmosphere is sometimes a bit lackluster and it could do with a better ale selection. Go for the carvery and you won't be disappointed though.

Really enjoyed our experience ordered two rump steaks, cooked perfectly the only downside, the steaks were cold. We notified the waitress. We advised that we were happy to eat them, but just to make them aware the hottest item on the meal were the chips. If the steaks were hot it would have been amazing.

Usually have the carvery but have sometimes had from the menu Food has always been good and staff have always been helpful

Tried the ultimate spice burger, best I've had for ages, red hot fries, loverly!

I don't think we'll be heading here again any time soon. The service from the large gentleman at the bar was poor. He was very abrupt and couldn't crack a smile. It was as if he didn't want to be there. The food, for what we paid wasn't good enough. The carvery was £13+ per person and it was average at best with a very limited selection of veg. By the time we'd got our carveries and nearly finished them. The other mains arrived at our table. We asked for a burger to be plain for our son yet it came with lettuce. We arrived around 15 minutes early for our table and we're told we needed to wait, which is fine as it's our error that we're early. The problem we had was there were plenty of tables free that had nobody on them. No reserved signs etc. I think we'll head to a Farmhouse Inn in the future or a Toby Carvery. Much better service and much better food. Much cheaper as well.

Allways great food and service .. love the carverys xx

Enjoyed a nice dinner. Did not wait long for the carvery.

Nice food, pleasant surroundings & attentive and courteous staff.

Needed a steak knife for the meat. No joke

Went for a carvery and it was amazing. Staff are brilliant.

Although it was busy, the staff were friendly and helpful. We were told that there would be a 40 min wait for food but it came sooner. When it arrived, the food was fresh and piping hot. Great crispy chips!

Very fast friendly service, food was lovely wide range of choice too

61 deep by Marston is nice drink in this cozy place with plenty of parking

Popped in for Sunday lunch car park was busy pub itself was busy staff were polite organised and willing to help. Seated in a matter of minutes we all had Sunday lunch carvery. Now I know why it's popular the food and service was fabulous will definitely return well done to all the staff at Eaton Farm

Really good food tonight great carvery as ever

Visited in June and again in September, during their promotion of 30% of mains. The food was excellent, Carvery again Can be busy at times, but never had a cold, warm, or disappointing meal served. No waiting and lots of staff visible. Well worth the experience of visiting. Highly recommended.

Carvery not good at all. Veg passed its best.

We use to meet friends at this pub while having dinner. Theo do nice roasts and good burgers( the options I have tried and liked🙂)

In a nut shell I did not like it and i wont go back. Expensive..but thats not to say you wont like it.

Enjoyed the food so much, will be back again soon

I came into eaton farm to watch the football and was served by Sarah on the bar snd Chloe in the kitchen who made me a very good mixed grill definitely would recommend

Visited 10/9/24 Carvery Absolutely Shocking !!

Excellent carvery, reasonable price

Very relaxing, roomy, clean. Excellent service and food was delicious

Sunday dinner was lovely. Service was good except the bar staff. They were slow to serve and unaware of who should be served next. Two people came to bar and were served in front of me whilst I was waiting to be served and the menber of staff asked aftet that who is next when she finished serving them whilst I had stood there like a lemon. Also I found it quite expensive.

Had a family meal, it was great. The kids all ate their chicken burger and fries and sausage and mash. I had a carvery and it was delicious.

Good experience, will definitely be visiting again.

The carvery food was well below what you would expect form this establishment , we had 7 in the group and the opinions were much the same ,tough chewy beef, hard potatoes , peas same , overall not even close to good food .

I had the veggie carvery. Was ok but would love more vegetables on offer especially steamed veggies

You are very dog friendly and even gave us some end bits of the meat. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, never had a bad meal there. The carvery are generous with the meat and there is a good selection of fresh veg.

Not a good meal had carvery the beef was very chewy and very fatty you would expect good food at the price it was. Won't be going back very unhappy

An eatery with a couple of average cask ales from Marston's pedestrian range.

We visited as a party of 3 this afternoon. Two of us opted for the carvery and my partner wanted Surf and Turf. Unfortunately, the restaurant was completely out of rump steak, so his second choice was an aged sirloin steak, which he requested was medium cooked. The staff suggested that we wait 10 minutes before queuing for our carvery, so that we could eat together. It was a good suggestion but after almost 30 minutes he still didn't have his meal and we had finished our carvery. I have to say that the carvery was not up to the standard it was when I last visited a few months ago and I thought the portion of meat doled out was quite small compared to my last visit. The restaurant wasn't busy, but we had to point out that the gravy had run out. However, my partner's meal was definitely substandard. The steak was so overcooked it was almost inedible. He complained and his meal was returned to the kitchen, but after at least 10 minutes we still didn't know what they were doing about it. Finally, in frustration, he asked for and was given a refund. I very much doubt that we will ever return.

Took the kids to the park nearby and decided to stop in for a drink. Ended up staying for food as the carvery smelt amazing. Food was hot and fresh and staff were very friendly.

All the staff were very helpful and friendly. They accommodated a table for us in the dog friendly section as we had our small dog with us. Our meals arrived at the same time and were lovely. No issues at all.

You can wait abit in carvery line .and in line to order .. Once you have ordered service is quite quick. Food n carvery where good ... Try to avoid busy times

Visited with my husband as we had a child free night. The pub was extremely busy so we had a short wait for the food to come out but it was well worth it. I had a steak which was cooked to perfection, will definitely order it again when we visit again. Never had a bad meal at The Eaton Farm.

Came to Eaton Farm for a meal with my family and the food was lovely and the service was great. will come again

Another great visit with my other half. Food lovely and very comfortable place. Our server Luke Eaton was amazing and really looked after us. Thank you!

i was so disopionted with my sunday lunch the meat was so tough i coudn`t chew it in fact it was so gristly i had to spit it out there was no green veg the gravy was like water and the yorkshir was like a lump of rag wih not i hint of crispness and to top it up i was embarrassed to take my friends for a rubbish meal like that a meal an top of it all the price was a rip off.never to set foot in the place again A B

My family and I came for lunch and it was delicious very well presented hot and fresh we all had carvery Tha staff were friendly and we really enjoyed our time there

Called in for a carvery as we didn’t fancy cooking, food and service was excellent couldn’t fault a thing

Family friendly, all year round carvery. Food was hot, well presented and quick to be served. Not a large selection of vegetables but certainly enough for what we wanted. Roast potatoes and gravy were yummie!
