Lamb Inn in South Derbyshire

This was booked "blind" for a group of friends from all over the country following a walk at Calke. We were very agreeably surprised. Excellent menu choice, generous portions and well presented. You should try it if you're in the area.

Hearty Sunday roast after a morning walk, helpful staff and very dog friendly. Great price, no extra cost for lamb with lots of veggies and a extra jug of gravy without asking - lovely

Had the Wednesday roast beef followed by lemon meringue all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal delicious excellent value.

Glenn serves the best pint of Timmy Taylors in the area and the Sunday roast leaves all others in the village behind. Value for money, filling and just "like mum makes". You can't go wrong with his burger bin the week either.

Lovely pub with great food and a lovely welcome. Dog friendly too. Really nice atmosphere. Will definitely come back.

What a find. Excellent food and service. Fantastic value for money and a very warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar.

I went with my family here for Sunday lunch and it was the best Sunday roast dinner we’ve eaten out for a long time. Huge portions and incredible value. We received a wonderful welcome from the hosts. We will return. Thanks again.

Having not been to Melbourne for a good while today was the day we went. Looked on Trip Advisor for recommendations for good. This place stood out. Nice and cool inside and a warm welcome. We ordered lasagne and hubby had a burger. Both delicious & good portions. Definitely go back. Thanks for making us welcome and valued.

A few of us are West Ham fans and also at Download Festival, which clashed with the Europa Conference League Final. We had planned to visit another pub in Castle Donington to watch the final and meet up with other friends, but due to the traffic nightmare on the day, we had to go somewhere else and quick. Thankfully traffic to Melbourne was flowing easily and found the Melbourne Inn on a google search and so glad we ended up here. The food and drinks were superb but the overall factor for our excellent review was down to the landlord and staff making sure we could get back to the Download Festival site as no taxis could get to us. They went out of their way to drive us back and we were so grateful. We will back to see them next year!

My son and I visited today for a late lunch. Ordered the the Classic Cheese and Bacon burger, Ham and Cheese Toastie and Cheesy Chips. The food was freshly cooked, the portion sizes are huge and the quality of the food was amazing. Even better was the price!! The service is excellent and the Bass is a defiant must if your an ale drinker. Would recommend the food to anyone and will defiantly be eating there again.

Popped in with a group of 8 for a pub lunch on a Monday. It was incredible. Great food and service, generous portions and top quality. Highly recommend. We'll be going back for a Sunday dinner as soon as we get the chance. Thanks for looking after us so well.

WOW WOW WOW . Without question the best Sunday lunch I’ve had . ALL fresh veg and even lamb on the menu at no extra cost . But the best thing was the value . £9.95 for a dinner but in £14.50 you can have THREE COURSES. The pub is family run and such a lovely clean and friendly environment. Will we back back ??? You bet we will … 5star across the board 👍🏻

Visited Glen and his staff for sunday dinner on 20/11/22. A THREE COURSE MEAL FOR UNDER £15!!! My partner and i struggled to eat everything as there was so much food. Excellent quality with excellent staff. See you all soon. Well done Glen. Keep it up.

Used to be a lovely pub but the landlord has a big attitude problem let's youngsters there now & recently there has been lots of trouble in people trying to glass each other recent one was only few days ago

My boyfriend, Billy, and I stumbled across this absolute gem on our return from a walk around Staunton Harold. Soooooo soo glad that we did. Billy went to fetch some drinks and came back saying that he really wanted a Sunday lunch after seeing it be served inside. I was sceptical as we were supposed to be going to a Food Festival in Lichfield. Nevertheless, I relented and we had a roast. Omg, incredible. I cannot believe we got that much food for £10. We were absolutely stuffed. I want another one already! Thank you so much.

3 sandwiches 1 toastie, chips and drinks 25.00 brilliant Best ever sandwich. I'm becoming a regular and Sunday lunch is stunning.

Basic food, served hot and generously. Service basic too. Having had an entire cup of coffee spilled over our table (accidental), we were moved ever further from the fire, next to a woodburner which remained unlit. It was a cold day. Improvements could be made.....

Had been to visit Calke Abbey and was looking for a meal and drink after a good walk. Also needed the establishment to be dog friendly. Well, we could not have asked for a better location. We were all made to feel extremely welcome, a good choice of menu, food served throughout the afternoon/evening. The food was delicious and generous portions. The staff were so welcoming and friendly will definitely visit again.

We visited with a party of six for a Sunday roast, which included a gluten and dairy intolerance. The food was lovely and exactly what expected for four of us, but unfortunately there were no dairy or gluten free deserts. On a side note, the...

We went to Melbourne for an craft fair and were looking for somewhere to eat on Sunday lunch time. The Melbourne Inn was wonderful. The pub had very pleasant decor and at first we were sceptical as they only had full sunday lunch with a...

Popped in for a sandwich and decided on their Sunday lunch and glad we did it was the best pub Sunday lunch I’d ever had. All the staff were very welcoming from the minute we entered the pub. Despite the fact we live 20 minutes...

I've not been to Melbourne for decades, and it's all fancy restaurants that charge £12.50 for a piece of marinated octopus that's seen a stick of asparagus. I went to the Melbourne Inn and what a find. It was Sunday and they only do Sunday...

I popped into this pub from meeting with old friends the other week and there was a couple of things that I had picked up on. For a cheap and cheerful pub, the price of Prosecco was taking the mic a little bit.. They only...

We had a walk round the pubs in Melbourne with friends starting at the Melbourne Inn. As soon as we walked in we were met by really pleasant staff who sorted us somewhere to sit and took our drinks order, we only had the one,...

Great food. Lovely staff. It was our first trip to the Melbourne Inn but it certainly won’t be our last

This pub has come under new ownership over the lockdown period. Visited with my family (5 adults and 3 children aged 3-9) Food was clearly fresh and cooked to order. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Ribs were a particular hit. Smaller portions of main menu available...

What a pleasant surprise! Just passing through on our way to Airport and stopped for lunch. I had steak, blue cheese and roasted potatoe salad. Amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection and the spuds were delicious. At only £6.95 an absolute bargain. My partner...

This restaurant pub has been refurbished to a very good standard with a very nice separate dining area. It has a nice split bar which are also used for dining. In the main bar area there was a nice open log fire burning. We found...

Now named the Melbourne Inn, it has been taken over and totally refurbished by local lad Ian Broomhead. Had two meals there since it changed names and both meals were tasty and home made. Give it a try, reasonably priced as well.

Called here after a long walk around Melbourne hall. This pub is now called the Melbourne inn. The barmaid who only started last week is really nice and friendly and bought out the dogs some bones. The landlords came out and were really friendly. We...

this pub is currently closed with yet another landlord leaving. Enterprise Inns need to spend some real money refurbing this pub if its to survive much longer.

The staff were all extremely friendly, the locals even more so. Just such a good vibe, happy faces and good crack (craic). A great place to chat to locals and other travellers alike. Homemade pork pie is a must for pork pie lovers! we'll be...

Absolutely brilliant little find a good pint well priced great atmosphere, even better was the fact they had a coal/log fire burning which added to the whole feel of the pub, went in the two evenings we stayed in the area different girls on each night but both were lovely and welcoming keep up the good work Torey and Becky

Esperamos algo de tiempo para ser servido. Sin embargo, el cordero era algo fuera de este mundo cuando finalmente llegamos y era más que suficiente para uno. Las verduras estaban cocinados a la perfección y la salsa era para morirse. El personal amable como si hubiera conocido todos ellos su vida! Sin duda volveríamos aquí.

Anyone who thinks this place is anything but poor really does not have a clue. Dirty place full of noisy people. Not for family or faint hearted. The pizza when it arrived was not that bad but not worth the wait.

Read the reviews so thought why not. Wished we had not the pub was not nice. The pizza was ok but couldn't go back

Estábamos alojados en Harpurs y queríamos buena comida. Así que no nos Tripadvisored - cercano, y me pareció que el cordero.

Estábamos en Melbourne visitando amigos en el fin de semana y terminé aquí. Pedimos el vizconde Bad Boy (llamado después Viscount cordero, que aparentemente era un poco mal boy) y la cosmopolita carne fiesta. El Bad Boy fue más del agrado de mi esposa de té (ella le encantó, tuve que raspe la - opcional - guindillas frescos), pero me gustó mucho la carne fiesta. Demasiado a menudo que un vulgar, titilantes Pile-up de Misa del Gallo y pepperoni, pero esto fue el auténtico - una mezcla de salchichas y jamón sliced_nfs y salsa de queso. Ah, y se me olvidó mencionar el cursi pan de ajo (muy thymey) llegamos como aperitivo. El pub es un decente, sin relevancia inglés boozer con una mesa de billar y el personal amable. El sábado estuvimos allí, había un DJ (Andy) jugando duro clásicos de rock - quizás no preferido para todos, pero era la mía, y jugó peticiones. Así que sí, definitivamente volveremos.

Encontré nevó en Melbourne después de visitar amigos ... Metimos a su local (El cordero) para algunas bebidas y unas seis naciones coinciden. En vez de la selección normal de comida de pub, hicieron una variedad de pizzas hechas a mano magnífica. Tenía la meatfest cosmopolita, que era 3 tipos de salchichas con aceitunas de tocino y brie. pizza estaba delicioso, y muy bien servida en una enorme losa de madera rústica ... No estoy seguro en el karaoke en el fondo, aunque ...

Pizza, service, welcome, atmosphere... great! Hand made food to perfection, no frozen pizza in sight. All served in warm welcoming surroundings with real fire. Thank you.

I found myself near East Midlands Airport, alone and in need of food. Went to the Lamb Inn in Melbourne (Derbyshire, not Australia) and found a friendly pub with it's own pizza diner. I ordered a pizza and a pint and was expecting 'pub grub'. How wrong I was! I've eaten all over the world on my travels but I have never had a pizza as good as these, and that is no exageration. Hand made dough and hand shaped, these pizzas offer the thinest, crispiest base you've ever had. The sauce and toppings are just excellent and, although there is a menu, you can talk to the chef (James) and he'll make exactly what you want. He'll even mix toppings 'half & half' if you want to share a snack with a friend. Don't go expecting a wide menu of other things; this is a pizza diner, just that and nothing more. The pub is not 'posh', but is very friendly and has a massive car park at the rear. They have the 'Cask Marque' for their beers, so a quality pint is guaranteed. I've made the journey back there more than once and taken friends, who are now all converts. It is worth a visit if you're in the area. You will not be disappointed.
