Visited as a family of 7 for a pre Christmas get together. Booked 7 weeks in advance for 18.00hrs on a Sunday and was asked to choose between Carvery and festive menu. We all chose carvery. Upon arrival we sat down and waited a good 15 minutes for our drinks order to be taken. In this time we noticed the carvery being packed up. We enquired and were told they had stopped serving!!! Despite our booking. What I assumed was the manager was very apologetic but nothing more. Also there were no pizzas and another item off the menu was sold out. We were brought our drinks and eventually our food order was taken. Food was slow to arrive despite it not being busy and the food was not homemade. The braised beef was not braised beef at all, it did not fall apart and looked and tasted like leftovers from the carvery!!! The food was average at best. When our drinks glasses were empty it took an age to ask if we wanted a refill. After we finished our mains almost 90 minutes after walking in, we advised staff that we would like dessert but only had half an hour before two of our party had to leave. By this time we were the only ones left in the restaurant. Our desserts took a further 20 minutes to arrive. The staff were alright but service was painfully slow. Despite the problems we were not offered any complimentary drinks or anything to smooth over the terrible start. Having worked in customer service for many years this was not a good experience and none of our party would return, and we would strongly advise against anyone else visiting this place.

Went for a surprise 80th birthday afternoon tea. Service was excellent. We took our own decorations and they put them up for us. Constantly refreshing the tea and coffee pots. The sandwiches were so tasty. Real ham, real beef, egg mayo and smoked salmon and cream cheese. And butter not marg. Absolutely delicious. The cakes were scrumptious and made locally. The scones had jam, whipped cream and clotted cream. Boxes were provided for us to take home any leftover cakes. All in all a wonderful afternoon tea. (And the price was good as well) Would definitely recommend

We have stayed at The Littleover Lodge on many occasions, it is dog friendly and we have found the staff to be very welcoming, professional and friendly. Our most recent stay was the night before new years eve 2023. At breakfast time on New Years Eve and despite being busy getting ready for the evenings celebrations the staff provided my wife and myself with an excellent breakfast, a beautifully cooked and presented full English for me and a Continental breakfast for my wife.They went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed. We noticed that this attention wasn't just for us, the same care and attention was given to other diners as well. The room we were in appeared to have been recently refurbished and was warm and comfortable. It has a walk in shower and ample storage. TV reception was good. We look forward to staying at The Littleover Lodge on our next visit to Derby.

We came to Littleover Lodge for the first time in about 15 years on Christmas day this year, and we're excited to see what it was like now. The staff were nice enough, although it was clear some didn't want to be there (and who can blame them on Christmas day?). The food was ok, average really, but the thing that really let us down was the price they charged for our 2 year old's Christmas dinner. We had been liaising with staff since booking at the start of October and explained we would only like the turkey course from the children's menu for our toddler. We were told we wouldn't need to preorder this and that it would likely cost around £10 (with the 4 course children's menu costing £40 that day (included starter, sorbet, main and dessert, excluding the mince pie at the end)). My husband paid off the drinks and meal at the end and left a generous tip. It wasn't until later we realised we had been charged £30 for her meal! Absolutely outrageous. We wouldn't have bothered ordering knowing this (she only ate the Yorkshire pudding and a small amount of turkey). We might as well have ordered the entire children's menu for £40. We were incorrectly given a 'ball park figure' for the meal and were ripped off. Really disappointing and we won't be returning.

Table was booked for 8 o clock for 11 people, we got called through at 8 but then we had to wait 40 minutes for food, our starters came to find that the chicken tikka skewers were still raw. We told the staff and the manager came out with NO apology and said what do you want some more starters? Absolutely NOT! The staff did not seem bothered that they could have just given us all food poisoning so we requested our deposit back. The manger spoke to the owner who did refund our money.

I will start by saying i can not fault the staff one bit, they were brilliant with us, friendly, smiley, helpful. The resturant itself is a nice restuarant too. Its a nice setting and i bet sitting outside for a meal in the sun would also be nice. The thing that lets littleover lodge down, is unfortunatley... the food. I personally ordered the Homemade fishcakes and my gf the Homemade soup, if they were homemade im a monkeys uncle.. they were 100% frozen fishcakes, my sister in law up the table said the same thing. The soup was also a heinz vegetable soup, no way was it a home made soup... so although not really bad, it was basically a sainsburys brought staeter for us both. The mains, i had pie and mash, my gf the pie and chips.... bland pie with hardly any filling and just mash and peas. ALTHO i will say this, a few on our table had the sizzling indian platter that was huge and i tasted a bit and was good. They have a wide range of drinks on offer, lagers on tap are estrella and budweiser, cocktails are on tap too which i always find a bit of a shame. As i say i cant fault the staff one bit.. Would i go again, maybe but to have just the indian sizzler, but tbh. I probably wont which is a shame

We booked with family for the boxing day meal. I will start off by saying....all staff looked miserable haha. I'm laughing because literally all of them were just not happy to be there. Food was...ok...starter nice. Main, I had the cod. Ok...there should have been veg with it...it was just a lump of fish with mash under it....everyone on my table thought it was hilarious how bad it looked. Lonely bit of fish lobbed on a plate. Pudding was horrendous. I had waffles and it was dry and the ice cream has melted so it has been sitting out a while...it was a joke really. Some of my family has sticky toffee pudding and the custard was cold. Yep...it was bad. Oh,and as the bloke bought out the puddings, he basically called me fat! Nice! Luckily I can take a joke...well sort of...but don't comment on a women's appearance. It's a big 'fat' no no. I had a good time because I caught up with family, but you need to sort how your staff treat your customers and food needs to have better quality control. Just seems to be open for the money and nothing else. You will loose customers if you carry on. And the only customers you will keep are the ones popping in for a pint.

Littleover Lodge has been on our list to try for a while now, but after this experience neither of us are in a rush to go back. It was Sunday afternoon and we thought we'd pop in and try their carvery. This is £10.99, so fairly priced. It was pretty busy when we arrived and the restaurant looked full. We got a table in the bar area and ordered the carvery. One positive to this place is that they show the football. It's not the biggest carvery you'll ever see. It's also the only carvery we have tried where you can't pick your own potatoes. The guy behind the carvery deck serves you the meat, Yorkshire pud and roast potatoes and then you help yourself to the veg. This was where the issue began and I still can't believe what happened. My partner went first and the guy serving the carvery gave him 3 roast potatoes, but he only gave me (I'll point out here that I am female) 2 potatoes. I wasn't having that so I asked him for another. He very rudely said "isn't 2 enough?" I pointed out that he'd given my partner 3 and his exact response was "BUT HE'S A MAN"!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This was witnessed by several other people in the queue. Aside from that the carvery was nothing special. My partner said the crackling was like a dog chew toy. He was also disappointed that there was no gammon. We decided not to stay for dessert. I can't see us rushing back and somebody needs to remind that carvery guy that it's 2022 and men and women should not be discriminated against when it comes to the dishing out of roast potatoes.

Terrible service from rude uninterested staff. Family of 6 were happy to spend a good few hours and plenty of money at this location. Unfortunately the staff were unable to accommodate us and preferred to hang around the bar gossiping with each other. Found a more accommodating place further down the road. Avoid this place at all costs.

After being told their was no lamb, or pork available and that there were no pizzas, my friend and I ordered Paella to share. After a few mouthfuls we agreed it tasted like packet savoury rice and the dish lacked any flavour whatsoever. It was brought to the attention of our server, she said she’d let the chef know and she preceded to take our order for more drinks and a dessert. Apparently this establishment prides itself on using ‘the finest quality ingredients’ and their ‘chefs know what it takes to produce truly amazing dishes’- perhaps last night it was their night off? No saffron, paprika, parsley or even salt and pepper graced this dish-there was nothing Spanish about it! Given this and the fact we left half a pan full, we expected the manager to make an appearance and come and see if it ‘satisfied all of their taste buds’ but no, they couldn’t have been too bothered. There was no apology or any effort made and I’m not sure we were even taken seriously. Our server was dismissive, unapologetic and quite frosty when we raised the issue. We queried the bill and she returned having ‘spoken to her manager’ and presented our bill, once again with 10% off. The staff or the manager made no effort to ensure that we returned to the restaurant in the future and based on our experience last night we really won’t be returning. We could have stayed closer to home or even stayed home full stop, and had a better meal. Good customer service was not apparent here, in fact by the end of the evening, we felt like we were in the way. Perhaps upon taking this feedback on board, the owners and managers may consider investing money into the people skills of their staff, instead of the pretentious and quite possibly pointless earpieces and headsets worn by them all. The gimmicks did not provide a nice evening where we chose to spend our hard-earned cash. Sadly, it will be memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Attended on a Friday night for a table of 3. Restaurant was very quiet with ourselves and only about 2 other tables with diners (for reference, this was a 7pm sitting). We were waiting for our friend who was running late but before we'd even had chance to settle ourselves down, we were asked for drinks, which I felt was rather hurried and despite saying our mate was only a few minutes away, felt that the waitress could have waited until all 3 of us were sat down. Food orders were taken and food didn't take too long to arrive, expected given it was quiet. Despite being aware that orders for pizza are not likely to arrive at the same time as other meals from the kitchen, I'd still expect that ordering sides to a pizza, which I explicitly said they were sides to the pizza when ordering, they should ideally come out at the same time at the pizza. In this case, fries and onion rings came out in staggered fashion, some 10 minutes before the pizza arrived. Again, I know they made it apparent not to expect other meals at the same time as a pizza, but on a quiet night, it surely can't be that hard to hold off on some fries and onion rings to accompany the pizza at the same time? Reading other reviews for this restaurant, the theme of service seems to be a recurring one. Our experience just felt hurried, rushed and lacking just basic hospitality, with little to no thought put into providing a good dining experience.

We came here tonight for a family meal, the positive I do have is the food was lovely we couldn't fault it! So if your looking for somewhere with nice food and don't mind how your treated a while sat in a awkward atmosphere this place is perfect for you. Thank god the food was nice because our evening meal didn't start of so great. When arriving into the big empty room filled with just staff standing there with there arms folded not greeting us with even a smile we headed to our table. The lady with the bleach blonde hair and the eyebrows who "looked after" our table came over to ask us if our pre order for our meals was still OK to which one person wanted to change there meal, so as we are sat waiting for our drinks a couple who were joining our table and were running 5/10 minutes late came from the bar after getting there own drinks only to let us know a while they were waiting for there drinks at the bar the staff were all having a good old bitchfest about the table that had pre ordered and decided to change one of the meals and having a good moan/rant about us all infront of the couple who they clearly had no idea were joining our table (we was the only table in the restraunt if anyone's wondering) so the lady on our table who had changed there order went up to the bar just to sarcasticly check that there isn't a problem with the order change to which the staff said it was fine (they must of died inside when noticed the couple had joined our table lol). Also when bringing the meals out it was very much here is your food no politeness and no asking if we needed any extras like sauces which ofcorse theres always people who need mayonnaise or ketchup with there meal, it took about 10 mins to finally get someone's attention for this. Also there was no check on our table to see how everything was, maybe because of the pure embarissment of being caught red handed at the bar previous so we can't really blame them because we could literally feel the embarissment for them. So food was great but staff were very rude they didn't want to know the customers at all and clearly would rather spend there time moaning about us thank looking after us.

Sadly the evening was a disappointment due to poor service, miserable staff and poor management skills. The staff do not engage as they are too distracted by ear pieces, meals were spilt on the table without an apology!! Not very attentive, always had to ask for drinks.

During starters the main meals were brought out so were returned to the kitchen. When the mains were brought back to the table My meal was given back to a hostess as the temp seemed below 65 degrees. Another meal was brought out which was equally like warm. The roast potatoes were inedible even without false teeth to try to eat them with. The half roast chicken was advertised with onion rings and chips. We had to ask for the onion rings as they weren't brought with the meal. The onion was thick and raw and the batter was hardly cooked. The decoration of the restaurant was nice and the staff were accommodating.

We came for a carvery - with our 5 and 8 year old sons. Upon our 8 yr old taking a small plate with a slice of meat and two roast potatoes and veg, he returned his plate as the turkey was cold and asked if he could have another Yorkshire which was accepted. After finishing his food, he asked if it was ok to have anymore potatoes to which we received a cold response which upset our son. The rude server then commenting insinuating we were being stingy for paying for a children’s plate (he’s 8) and we should pay for an adult plate next time. It’s been a while since having a carvery but I was unaware that roast potatoes were rationed? Having been insulted, I doubt we will be returning for another visit.

What a terrible place to eat, we went to try the Lodge tonight for the first time and it will certainly be the last. The service is far from professional. The restaurant is clearly overwhelmed, unable to serve some of their standard menu items like garlic bread because of demand on pizza.Our fish and ships was appalling and literally sickening. The batter was raw, the fish was clearly not fresh and off, we couldn’t finish it.When we reported this, they added insult to injury by arguing the fish was fresh, after taking it to the chef in the kitchen to taste it!!!At least just apologise without arguing, if you have any hope of keeping customers.

In the midst of all the Coronavirus chaos. Being advised not to visit pubs and avoid social gatherings. Went in last night after the advice and found the beer prices have GONE UP !! I find that incredible. Surely you want to keep your customers and incentivise customers, regulars and casual visitors alike to keep coming. This isn’t the way !Beer and food promotions and increased hygiene may help. Hollybrook up the road is cheaper and has promotions on making it better to visit as no SKY SPORTS at the mo.

Fantastic service from Georgina, Izzy and the team. The food was outstanding and incredibly good value for money. Review title is reflective of the overall experience; which was faultless. 5/5. We will definitely return and would not hesitate in recommending a meal at this restaurant, whatever the occasion.

Very friendly environment, comfortable with good food at reasonable prices. The pizza is exceptional and other choices good also. All staff are very presentable, knowledgable on food choices and friendly. Georgina and Isabelle were our servers and they looked after our family of 7 a treat. Food was freshly cooked, well presented and tasty. Will definitely return again.

If you haven't tried Carlos's pizza, you haven't lived.We have a takeout pizza every week and we are slightly addicted! Beautiful crispy base, with generous toppings, what's not to love. Staff are always helpful & friendly and service is second to none.

Three of us had a New Year lunch in the restaurant on a Tuesday. It was quite busy, with many people tucking into the carvery. We all chose from the menu, lamb, beef and steak, served on hot plates (big tick!) but the food not QUITE hot enough for me. Serving size was just right so we didn't feel overfed. Assorted vegetables were nice but rather undercooked, and I'm not someone who likes them soggy. Excellent treacle tart and custard, and very good sorbets all appreciated for dessert. Cheerful service, good value. We'll be back.

We have been visiting regularly for last four years on Friday or Saturdays but over last months key staff members are leaving which is a sign !!! Go before 5pm on a Saturday and expect to wait a long time for the lone bar staff person to try serve the bar and busy restaurant!!! Now they have a 65 inch tv to play sky sports but since last week no volume allowed despite customers sat there trying to watch the Manchester Derby ???? Beer prices up for customer But service declining. Not the best recipe but well let’s see what happens.

Unplanned visit and what a wonderful surprise! On arrival, staff were great. Got a table with no booking though restaurant was very busy. I thought it was just a pizza place. But no. Lovely extensive menu... And pizza. I opted for the calzone pizza. Omg. Amazing. Another friend had the burger... He wanted more it was so nice. Another friend had the bacon chop. Though he found it over salty (which bacon is anyway). It was all good good good. 2 more deserts and very nice. 2 lagers, 2 large Pinot wines, 2 soft drinks and all for £68. If you haven't been.... Get there. You're missing out!!! Five star plus

Visited on a Sunday tea time with 4 adults and a baby. Worried on arrival as very busy and every seat taken with a packed bar area but pleasantly surprised that team were able to fit us in. Noticed the staff wearing head sets and lots of talking to one another with what looked like a manager overseeing the service and encouraging staff to constantly clear tables/offer drinks etc- from reading previous reviews I wonder if this is to improve service? Either way it worked! We had fantastic service throughout, ordered a mix of carvary and main meals and the kitchen let us know when to go for carvery so we could all eat at the same time. Carvery was excellent, pizzas good.

Visited with my cousin and my grandma for her birthday. I ordered a drink when I arrived but didn’t receive it until our starter came. I had Thai fish cakes which had shell in them, my cousin is gluten free and was given a special menu which she was really impressed with and ordered burger and fries. When the mains came out they informed my cousin her fries had been cooked in the same fryer as everything else and offered her some potatoes but at that point we were already eating. We asked for drinks and we were told in a minute and no one arrived to take our drink orders. They offered us dessert menus and never bought the menus over and then when we finally got a dessert menu we asked to order drinks and was told the waiter would come back for a drinks order and he never did. When dessert came my cousin was informed they had no meringues made so offered her fruit and ice cream only and I ordered treacle pudding which came out black and burnt, I sent it back and they apologised and made me a fresh one, we still didn’t get any drinks so we gave up and asked for the bill which came 30mins after asking for it.

I have mixed feelings re this place as the decor is good, the outside seating is lovely and the cocktails are good value. The negatives are the food is hit and miss as pizzas are great but fajitas are awful- barely any meat and mainly onions on the skillet, very little peppers. The cocktails are great depending on who makes them. The bar advertises as cocktail bar but the atmosphere is less cocktail more blokey sports bar. The hollybrook pub close by has a more family orientated feel to it than here. Worth going to though if it is a hot day as the outside area is lovely.

Went today to have coffee the cafe was so so busy. We have been quite a few times and never had a problem. The staff are so nice and work so hard nothing it to much trouble for them. Feel for the staff at times as people are so rude to them and shout at them. there is no need at all!! They all do their best for everyone. Give them a break!!!
