Lodge in Derby

great quiz night out lovely food and staff

Called in on a Tuesday 12/11/2024, ordered 2 meals, burger was ok but the Tandoori chicken meal was awful, all chicken was very dry, onion bargie was tasteless & the tikka source was con jellied left most of it & when the waitress asked if it was ok I said no can’t eat it, she just took the plate away without a word

Great pub and great food and friendly staff

Great food and of course a great quiz!

The food was amazing loved every bite. Would recommend for a meal for sure.

Amazing quiz great food whats not to love

Come to the lodge 3 or 4 times a week for the last 6 months now. The staff are all lovely particularly Cassie. Always serving with a smile on her face and is very polite. She often makes my day and is one of many reasons the lodge has improved my mental health drastically. The pub is a incredibly friendly place to be and would highly reccommend to anyone who hasnt already been

I was served by cassi today , and to be honest she bent over backwards to give me and my sister's the best experience , I was offered extra services and nothing was no trouble , we had main meals and a drink each , cassi directed us to the pudding menu at just the right time and we ended up having pudding as well , I found the atmosphere friendly and welcoming , and this was a credit to the staff , the foods was ok especially the burnt ends , the puddings where well presented and tasty ,services was very prompt , I have a lot of experience with people from running my own business and I can tell cassi will go a long way with her attitude

Lovely pub great atmosphere food and staff amazing

Great night and good food, quiz was fun to play along

Just what we wanted really enjoyed it

As always everything was perfect

Enjoyed a couple of hours after work thanks

Always come for food whilst working in the area, Great staff & service 👍🏻

Just wanted to post because I've eaten here 3 times this month, had their rump steak each time and each time it has been cooked to perfection. Juicy, full of flavour and just absolutely delicious. Their chips are awesome and this is the only place my son clears his plate every time. My only issue is with the acoustics (I wear hearing aids and it echos something awful, so I have to take them out) but that's not anyone's fault really. Aside from that we love it here. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

Great pub. We had a birthday party. We have been served by Cassi Sharhey. She was great and very friendly. Many thanks again for a great day

Nice to see Cassi smile big D!!!

Excellent food, but staff a bit rushed and hot drinks not working in the middle of the day.

Nice pub, good atmosphere sport tv

Great food, great atmosphere, even better quiz!

Always a fab night for the quiz! :)

Went at 3pm on Saturday 7th September, the two meals we ordered were absolutely wonderful and great service. Thank you.

Atmosphere marked down due to the occasion and little service needed. But the spread put on was lovely .

Great team and lovely food + quiz! Will be back ❤️

Had lovely meal tonight steak and ale pie with chips and peas, couple of drinks amongst friends.

The food was OK, however roast potatoes were over cooked and dry. The main issue with this pub is the wait time on food. The pub wasn't very busy and we were waiting for nearly 45 minutes for 2 fry ups and a roast dinner. Staff didn't seem to care about this and by the looks of it, the average wait time for food was at least half an hour. The staff didn't seem to care and didn't apologise for the long wait. There are far better pubs in alvaston to eat at, don't waste your time going to the lodge.

Ultimate feast was gorgeous and great value for money. Staff as friendly as could be

Great atmosphere enjoyable food and lovely place for a night with friends ! Highly recommend!

Chicken strips with sweet chilli 🌶 nice! Great night atmosphere and drinks fully recommend 👌

The best place for a quiz night on Tuesdays

Affordable pub grub with a good range of beers, ciders, ales & spirits.

Amazing food and lovely staff with great atmosphere, would recommend! Definitely coming back xx

Lovely bar with plenty of seating inside and out, staff very helpful and friendly and the food was great, good value and very tasty worth a visit for sure.

Love coming to the lodge. Great local with friendly staff and a large menu offering. Good prices and environment! Pub quiz on Tuesdays is always fun too!

Really great pub, lovely food and quiz!

Good meeting place, popular pub for sports fans.

Great food and bar staff were very friendly 👍

I like it here. It's my local. They bring me beer to my table and put the telly on when I ask. What more could you ask for?!

Fantastic food great service highly recommended

2 for 12.95 during the week great value and the food was delicious. Staff here so friendly too.

Always come here for a quick drink now and again food choices is good

We moved to Derby two months ago and are very happy to have discovered Lodge. The food is quite good compared to the UK average. The staff are incredibly sweet and friendly. The owner tries to engage with everyone. We make sure to go every week. It's very enjoyable to sit in the outdoor area when the weather is nice. We love here. Thank you!

My food was a little over cooked. A meal with family. Portions was good and service was great.

Only my second drink there but the ipa was very satisfying, looking forests to trying a few more real ales there. Update June 2024; went in for food, the gammon on a hot stone with fried egg and small potatoes was really nice. A good price as well.

Great pub tasty food. Emily was lovely :)

5 of us had a lovely meal. Great value, friendly staff and quiz night thrown in.

I've been a couple of times, it has always been good

Worse meal I've every had steak i asked for med/well and it was burnt gammon was burnt pepper sauce was £2 extra I received a table spoon measure in a side jug if that won't be returning

Hayden always goes above and beyond

Great for a cheap food and drink option locally! Always good service and great entertainment. Pub quiz nights are my favourite. #carlingdarling

Good pub, nice staff, great area

Food was lovely and hot. Shame the order was not correct and we were charged extra for their mistakes.

A Green King Flaming Grill chain pub, a wide variety of food available and drinks all at competitive prices, the service was very good ,the staff are very attentive helpful and always available.

Great time with friends and great food would recommend

Fantastic place great food and friendly staff

First visit, recommended by a friend, and had a good meal and a couple of drinks. Decent prices and the food was very tasty.. thanks...Will be back

Food nice, but far to rowdy , mind you it was saturday what do i expect lol - i've changed my review because i've been here on numerous times since and everything been exceptional

Great pub and family friendly. I was accompanied by my sons and family.

Lovely to be back at The Lodge now that it's warm enough to be outside on their lovely terrace. Really efficient and friendly staff. If only they changed their policy regarding allowing dogs inside we could be year round customers!

Brand new menu is a must try. Ribs are incredible! Quiz night on Tuesdays is great fun and worth a try too. Awesome loyalty app for regular discounts and freebies too! Well worth a visit

Always great food and entertainment. Good range of choices on the bar!

Advertised Sunday roasts. Read the reviews and thought it sounded a bargain. How wrong we were. Roast beef had obviously been precooked and heated up in a microwave. Mash was uneatable. Far too many roast potatoes. Yorkshire pud was soggy. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Great atmosphere, great live band. Clean tidy pub.👍

Great food and great service as always. Always a good laugh. Reccomend highly

Cassi was amazing loved how she offered my little girl a cold plate instead of a hot plate which made her happy. She was so pleasant and helpful

Really good quality food for a decent price better than most pubs ive been to.

Great quiz night good variety of questions

Amazing new menu, fabulous atmosphere too. Staff are lovely and very welcoming, great value for money and a fun quiz night.

Lovely friendly staff and atmosphere. Served by Emily at the bar good friendly service. Ordered on app quick service to table.

We've been here a good bunch of times for food and it's always hit or miss if your food comes out sizzling on a skillet. The times it does we love it, the times it doesn't just ruins your meal. In general the food is good though.

Come in for the quiz, had a hunters gammon and it was well nice, thanks team!

Great place to come and share drinks and food. Great service from sal and Emily at the bar

First time here, service was great food was delicious and staff were non stop the whole evening Thank you for looking after us

Great night out enjoying the quiz with Jason. Special thanks to the bar staff for making the service 10/10

Friendly staff, quick service and great food

Food was very good and freshly cooked....it was very busy so no staff to clear away our lates when we finished but overall very good

Great staff, friendly & efficient, food is exactly what it says on the menu, busy evening on a Friday night, prefer mid week as music very loud difficult to hear our conversation

Came for Breakfast with Santa, amazing price for what the kids got! Santa was lovely with the kids and they went home fed and with a present🤩

Had a brilliant time food was lovely and got more than enough, staff were brilliant especially Saskia the kids loved her.

Came for a family meal after Xmas and entertainment was on. Excellent service from ‘wobbly’ Emily and all on shift

Ordered for Christmas started Camembert cheese and they gave me yogurt. Chef needs to be sacked . Shocking Food constantly

Great place.. It was quiz night and we hadn't booked a table, still managed to fit us in.. Quiz was interactive through your phone. I was very impressed with it. Living in Somerset, it was something I'd never seen before. Bit slow down here lol. We will be back and join in next time.

Went for a family Xmas meal, food was absolutely terrible and very slow! Whole place was totally rammed with drunk lads and girls, only 4 tables of people eating surrounded by this, definately not a family meal kind of place, toilets had all been blocked with toilet roll and flooded with faces on the floor. An all round bad experience 👎

Arrived 5 minutes before our actual booking (booked online) to be asked could we come back in 20 minutes as they had a pre arranged event just coming to an end, we couldn't as we had plans we seated ourselves and ordered via the app the starter's arrived substandard comes to mind never have I ever had COLD nachos of any description but hayhoe thought it was just a blip, then the mains arrived again substandard tasteless even my granddaughter said she didn't like it and she only had sausage and chips, don't even get me started on the side dish of sweetcorn it looked like the chef had eaten one and sent it out after, it didn't end there the toilets were disgusting don't think the cleaner bothered that morning or ever to be fair definitely won't be going back ever the one star was for the coke zero.

We booked for Christmas party / meal Staff were very pleasant and food / drinks were great 😃👍🏻👍🏻

Although busy quick service and good food.

Lunchtime meal with the family after swimming. Food was nothing special. Could have done with another member of staff. Didn't like the atmosphere.

Great place to go for a quick lunch or a nice meal for evening for a reasonable price . The sharing steak platter looks amazing and is on my to do list next visit overall great experience every time even at busy periods well done to all the team .

Always a great time at the lodge, quiz night Tuesdays are always lively!

Pete was as fantastic as his shirts

Very nice and cheap food restaurant/pub Some how they menage to serve fresh brewery and food at reasonable price! Always happy staff and good atmosphere here! Thanks

Great pub quiz every week good food and staff too! #teamcarlingdarling

Lovely food especially the chocolate trio bar

Great pub with good selection of food and drinks. Onsite parking. Family and pet friendly.

Love the place always good food

We nipped into the lodge today to get our children something for lunch. The staff were so friendly and showed us the children area that has been done for children to watch a film and play board games. This made the overall experience of eating out so easy, even better with juice for the children. We will definitely be back and thanks so much for making a lunch a little easier.

Alvaston is also my favorite place. The staff are great.

Quiz nights on a Tuesday are the best with the Plantpots

Our local pub and the place we chose to have our wedding meal, so it holds a special place in our hearts. Always polite and friendly service and food is lovely.

Fab food! Fab Staff!( Emma is also Fab !) Great entertainment! Empty plates say it all ! Thanks to todays chefs: Sharkey & Anna ! For our gammon steaks !
