Friary Derby in Derby

120 minutes bottomles brunch - strict on time but shit service They didnt get our first round of drinks which we ordered as soon as we sat down as we knew what we wanted And yet it took them 35 mins to bring first round of drinks out ( mind 6 people got the same drink to make it easy and lager pints ) Checked 3 times about the food even though we all had pre ordered our foods along with any allergies 3 to 4 days in advance - which didnt arrive until an hour later Slowest service and piss take as we only managed to be given 3 cocktails within the time limit and their response was we can give u a round of sprtiz shots or extend for 1 more cocktail Where it works cheaper to get 2 - 4- 1 cocktails and pay for food separately

I got charged £18 for two singles and which is a bit cray cray

Good location, funky interior, good events on like karaoke however very overpriced for Derby which leads to atmosphere being quite bad on most nights. Even on weekends not many people attend which they would if they didn’t charge at least £6 for a pint of beer. No parking but clean toilets and good beer garden

I had my hen do here and Nathan was brill made us feel so welcome and we always had drinks he was so helpful will definitely be going again

An absolutely clonking old building and as some would say.........it's still got it baby! Lovely place, cosy plenty of old features and nicely retains itself in the history and pedigree of the area. Drinks reasonably priced also in this day and age considering the massive cost of living crisis we are currently going through. Loads of hill Billy's working behind the bars made me want to blast a bit of cotton eyed joe out but believe me pal............you got it good 👍 😀

Liv and Logan were very nice and gave great customer service! Thankyou :)

Went here last week with my friends and was served by Logan and Liv. They were both lovely and very quick with service considering it was quite busy. Will be visiting again!

Absolute brilliant place to have a drink. Karaoke night is amazing and I’ll be going back next week. ✌🏼

Ruby and Caitlin gave excellent and friendly service! :) Love it here !

Caitlin and Ruby were great and welcoming! Will definitely come again <3

Lovely place. Nathan was absolutely incredible. Top guy

I came in yesterday for a bottomless brunch that I won for 2 people for free through there instagram. me and my partner had an amazing time, rose was especially helpful, she made sure we constantly had drinks flowing we never had an empty glass, that our food was out in time which was also amazing, she was extremely respectful and was so polite. we managed to fit in 13 drinks each in the 2 hour space time. There are so many options of drinks and food, and the atmosphere is perfect. We will 100% be returning.

Amazing night and best host ever in Libby . Look forward to visiting again x

Good selection of drinks and food available, but I didn't try any on this visit

Great night out and libby was great.

Great day out Libby told us all about mixr which is great

Had a great night here, the pizza was fantastic, and the pool room is great. Charli was excellent, and was very helpful. She went above and beyond to help us out. Would recommend

Thanks to Charlie for making us feel welcome today, it's very rare today to meet someone so passionate and is an absolute natural at hospitality.😊

Food was b-b-banging, but was made even better by the brilliant lady behind the bar called Rosie. Who catered for my every need

We did the bottomless brunch for my Stag. The staff were incredible, every person we interacted with was friendly and made the night even better. I especially want to shout out Libby and Nathan who made sure our drinks were refilled and that we made our way to Popworld without any issues. 10/10 guys, thank you so much!

Nice place, great food and friendly staff

Libby Rosie and Nathen were all amazing! Had a great time on our bottomless brunch !

Had a few drinks in a excellent atmosphere with very loud music

We throughly enjoyed the bottomless brunch last weekend, couldn’t recommend it enough! The manager was so friendly, the range of food and drink was brilliant and it included table service. The price is great, you couldn’t even get 2 cocktails for that price in other bars. We will definitely be booking again 😊

We went for a bottomless brunch here on Saturday night. Was fairly quiet but only 2 staff on the bar and they were not aware of the booking. However, despite being short staffed we still had a great time, lots of drinks and Grace our waitress was great and so lovely making sure we were getting the most out of the bottomless brunch whilst also serving on the bar. Drinks were great , definitely recommend the bottomless brunch. Only downside was the booking system could be more organised so staff were aware and right staffing levels to accommodate.

Waste of time! Went today to watch the British Grand Prix qualifying at 3pm as they advertised as showing it before the football at 5pm. Got in and nothing but tennis on all the screens....... Asked to see it and was told "we normally show football" (helpful). I asked could they put it on anywhere (it's a big venue), they actually did in another area of the building, good stuff, as we weren't bothered about sitting at the main bar anyway. Just at the start of the second part of F1 qualifying the TV was changed to the news..... We asked twice for it to be put back on, and they agreed both times, but it didn't change. Left disappointed and undervalued. Seemed short staffed, had run out of Guinness, and wine was sparse with a lot of white not in the fridge. Won't be back, I can watch the news at home with cold wine and Guinness. School report D minus "Must try harder"........

Good burgers and good booze. Took a long time to be served although the place was empty, seemed to only have one person on the bar. Bonus for having wireless charging points on thee table though!

Great place to watch the euros staff are excellent

Great food and drinks and great service, Nathan behind the bar was so super helpful and welcoming! Popping atmosphere and they also had the football with clear commentary, win win xxx

Had an amazing experience here yesterday with my partner and two boys. Holly and Charlie were so helpful and friendly. They got games out for my little one to play with and were so attentive the entire time. The food was great (they were amazing at helping with my youngest ones allergies) and the drinks were fab too. I've never known a bottomless brunch to have such amazing food options. My little one had already asked when we can go back! Thank you so much for making my birthday celebrations so enjoyable!! We'll definitely be returning 🥰

Cute place, friendly staff. The food just is not good.

Had such a great time here with friends, food was great and Nathan was really nice

Had a great time here with family, will be returning soon! Thanks to charlie, hollie and Rosie for a great karaoke night!!

Ben and the whole team were lovely. Accommodated us all. Great time.

Everything was fantastic. Ben was especially fantastic with his delivery of food and drink

Wonderful evening thanks to Ben taylor

Ben Taylor might be the best bar-man/waiter I’ve ever had, never had a empty glass and ensured I had a great night

Absolutely sensational experience! Made my team meal a pleasure! Very accommodating experience! A host named Ben was a star! Also the lady in the funky trousers! If I could’ve give a 100 stars I would’ve!

Bt served drinks perfectly all night and gave us a great hospitality

Did bottomless brunch , all the drinks , food and the staff were brilliant especially Ben he couldn’t do enough for us I would go to the venue just for him , so kind and attentive any place would be great with him working there. Thanks to all at the friary

Great service from BT. Good food and speedy service cant complain. 5stars

Great Place and amazing service from Ben. Would definitely recommend!

Charlie was absolutely amazing, best pub quiz!!

Was at a work event yesterday staff was amazing and the food was incredible thank you to you all for all the hard work

Amazing services, absolutely slay, @Alexandra @Grace legends!!

Very good environment and great service from Elena

Great Service and great atmosphere. real nice pizza's and a great place to play a game of pool and watch the game.

Excellent service and food was delicious.

Brilliant food and drinks offers. Bottomless brunch was unreal value for money.

great fun in there! Rosie is always so helpful and happy on the bar!

Great service. Nadia was extremely nice :)

Went to the Friary today, to watch Liverpool vs Sheffield United. The game kicked off at 7:30. 10-15 minutes before the game ended, the staff started to blast music out of the speakers for karoke. Please bare in mind, that the karoke was meant to start at 8, and had it started at 8, it would’ve gave people who wanted to watch the football, an opportunity to leave and watch the game elsewhere. When we asked if they could turn the music down, or wait until the game had finished, we was given very rude responses. We had bought several drinks and if we had known, we would never of bought them. We will never be returning to the Friary again. It was very inconsiderate, especially the way the staff spoke to me and my family.

Had a great experience of having a few drinks at Friary. Charlie the manager and Katlin the chef.Was unbelievable accommodating to me and my girlfriend. Didn't have to be but went above and beyond to give us a class night!! much appreciated.

Great night until we had to leave.. booked a table for the superbowl, great food and atmosphere...However got told that because the game would run over we wouldn't see it all....Ended up in the old walkabout..lesson learnt. Next time we will take our custom elsewhere. Not a dig at the staff they were great

Maybe I didn't see it in it's element but Sunday afternoon it still smelled of old beer and had dirty tables from Saturday night. Not impressed 😕

Always stop by here when drinking in Derby.

Came for the bottomless brunch last night. Was a great atmosphere, food was lovely and staff was amazing. Kept popping by to check on us and get us more drinks so we was never sat waiting. Will definitely be going again.

We booked a bottomless brunch for 11 people and it was brilliant! Holly was the most amazing host making sure we all had plenty of drink! So much choice on food and drink or the option to upgrade to widen the selection. The food was excellent too, tasty, well cooked and hot! I would 100% recommended to anyone!

We had bottomless brunch and served by Hollie. The food was amazing and the drinks kept coming! Hollie was so attentive and lovely!! We will definitely be returning !!

Hollie was just the perfect host. Will definitely come back & recommend to our friends. Thank you for such a brilliant afternoon- absolutely loved it 🥳

Great place for every thing 5 star8b

To be fair , we were there early, but the service was slow, friendly though, which always helps. The big surprise was the quality of the food. For quite an extensive menu the food was tasty and well presented. 3 of us had 'proper' meals and we were all happy with our food.

I visited this venue to watch the rugby last night. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend people trying out this place such good atmosphere and amazing staff.

Great food and service. Thank you Charlie

Pretty poor show yesterday !! Went to watch the tennis and it seemed a chore for them to put it on for us. The place was empty and the atmosphere not great. The staff looked as though they didn’t want to be there. Service slow and with no smile. Ordered burgers and they were served with burnt chips. These were returned - burger was pretty poor too and it wasn’t cheap !! Pretty disappointing.

Went there for a cheeky bev and some food on Monday, food ended up a bit late for the lady but Holly was amazing at sorting us out! Really great service for a simple meal and drink.

Been calling here for many years now , and its changed its identity a few times . Worth a drop in if you're on a crawl , wouldn't class it as a real ale venue now . Very spacious and clean and staff polite and helpful .

Loved the place! Hated the service!

Nice place, expensive drinks, often full

Had an amazing time! Our server was so lovely and delayed out brunch start time so our whole party was able to make it! Let us double park! Anna was the highlight of our trip! Was so lovely and accommodating. Friendly and checked on us frequently! Leaving this review to shout out how brilliant she was! Also toilets were great and clean.

Bottomless brunch, quick service, good choice of drinks and food. Would definitely return!

The meal was very good and staff are helpful. Shame about the toilet area was very damp and dangerous for someone like me who has a disability could easily slip on the wet floor

Love the friary !! Great staff especially Anna and Chanel !

Excellent staff good service grate vibe

Caitlin was amazing and very polite

Great place to drink great atmosphere and good bar staff Ozzie looked after us with passion

Good place for a cheapish drink, pool tables and foosball available. Smoking area is shared with Popworld so after 11 it's closed off

Visited Sunday the 19th February, what a beautiful building. Kept clean and pleasant by the staff. Big thanks goes to Anna on a brilliant customer service and sharing her wisdom of Derby.

Chanel served me tonight, very enthusiastic and lovely. Will return :))

Chanel and Joel are the greatest! You should come to the friary just to see them :)

Josh And Anna great service and nice. cheers boss man

Stopped into the friary for a drink and to watch the six nations, was greeted by Charlie who gave a great customer service and helped us as best as she could! Always had a great smile! Definitely recommend!

Felicity and Anna were amazing 10/10 recommend

Best place to go and have a nice meal with family and very friendly staff

Great service and friendly staff.

Amazing service from Joel and team. What a night 👍

Warm , friendly atmosphere. Staff very welcoming
