Mr Grundy's Tavern in Derby

What an interesting place, absolutely love the oldie worldy

Lovely place. Very friendly staff.

Horrible place to go with rude and sexist staff members . Would not feel safe here as a woman alone. Casual racism from staff members with managers not doing anything when reported. Shame as pizza is great.

Good. Solid. Pub. Nice for a pint or two. Maybe some chips to go with. Pizza pony is highly recommended

Had our wedding ceremony and Reception here this summer. The staff were brilliant throughout. Especially Kaz amd Simon. They were so welcoming and all of our guests have commented on the wonderful atmosphere and unique decor throughout. The food that was prepared for us (BBQ in the afternoon amd finger buffet in the evening) was delicious.

Absolutely cracking boozer! They also do the best pub quiz in Derby...

The food was great!! Had too much beer, but was a great family reunion.

Food and drink, service. Very Good. It has a good atmosphere. You can charge your car and have a meal and drink here. Sit inside or in the beer garden. It will not suit all, but I think the hard work shown by the staff should be appreciated.

Nice garden good choice of beers

Foods awesome, vibe is bang on but the staff don't actually smile! I work in a pub myself and I hope I never come across this way!

Engaged in a party there. Not too bad

I've been before, so took a friend for a drink in the garden , we went to sit under the more sheltered area opposite the Pizza oven , but the trestle tables were laiden with debris, of food, so we went to a nearby bench , but this was covered in bird poo , not recent looking either . We found another picnic bench near the driveway side , half the seating covered in Bird poo but also more food debris on the table , this wasn't removed for the whole 40 minutes we were sat there. Such a shame as I generally really like this place. The barmaid was lovely and I did see her in the beer garden, possibly clearing glasses , or a table , there didn't appear to be any other staff ...

2nd visit to the Tavern good to see the place is still open. Friendly service good atmosphere.

Great venue for a wedding. Excellent selection of drinks, friendly and efficient staff. Gents toilets are not to be missed!

Very nice atmosphere, quirky decor, good selection of ales.beer garden is vast and well maintained. Definitely a local gem.

Great pizza's. Really authentic Italian thin crust. Also querky quiz every Thursday.

Great local pub, very friendly accommodating staff, food was lovely.

A superb brewery tap and hotel with a good selection of cask ale.

Nice place. Came for the quiz. Had a pizza.

Only reviewing the food the pub, staff and atmosphere five stars. Perfect pub to chill out and have a drink in the beer garden. (The food) I had the Grundy's famous mixed grill it looked very impressive! Unfortunately it lacked seasoning and flavour the steak was overdone. The mushrooms were deep fried and soggy the peppercorn sauce was watery and tasted of nothing and the Charring on the meat was a bit too much. My wife had the Chilli this had no flavor also tasted watery didn't seem fresh the portion size again was impressive but it just wasn't a good meal at all. For how much the bill was I wouldn't recommend.

Nice beer garden, good cider, enjoyed sitting in the sun, friends got pizza but I didn't, hence not giving it 5 star on food

Just popped in for a drink but very present

Lovely place and accommodating staff

Great pub,never been before..Will be going back.

Ok garden. Very overly priced drinks.

Nice pub with interesting decor. Nice beers from brewery's owned by the pub

Nice pub and very nice friendly staff very good at there jobs,went to aunty's wake there and the food was nice too.

Really good pub just outside of the town centre. The menu changes each month to keep things fresh and varied. Large outside area, dogs welcome. Ive heard they do a quiz each week but not experienced that myself

What an amazing pub. Izzy and Brent are amazingly welcoming and over all very nice peaple . Best pub in Derby by far 👌

Lovely pub. Friendly, cosy & good beer.

Had great fun with some new friends at a rocking pub quiz

Really helpful and friendly staff, going out of their way to assist. Visited for the Pizza Pony pizzas, best in Derby!

Visited Saturday 28th January 2023, late afternoon/early evening. First visit, it's the other side of the city for us so never bothered to visit before. The pub is actually in the back of The Georgian House Hotel built in 1756, it resembles a country house, although it seems to have seen better days if I'm honest. The pub brews it's own beers, which after trying a few over the years I've got to admit I'm not a fan of. Beers on the bar were Mr Grundy's and a couple of guest casks alongside keg beers and lager, spirits, wine, soft drinks etc are also available. Inside is interesting with lots of unusual decor, but it feels cluttered, outside is quite nice with real grass and trees, I imagine it's be excellent in summer. Nice enough, but I don't think I'll be back, there's just better closer.

Great old pub if you ever find yourself in Derby call in for a pint you won't be disappointed

A place that has lots of character, interesting items on the walls, old-world charm, and nice food. Really friendly staff a gem hiding in plain site. A must visit pub.

I wouldn’t recommend it for food it’s very poor ! The place is dated, and took an age for our meals to come we only had Two salads & mixed grill, not the best place to eat, won’t be eating there again, I never asked but they took the mixed grill off the Bill !! Speaks for itself enough said !!

Great quirky ale led pub. Friendly too in a nice part of town

Always liked this pub, good food, good beer selection, lovely staff.

A friendly food and beer establishment. Had the gammon which was okay but the sauce sachets were awful.. Have drank at the pub several times and the beer is always great with a good selection. With a very interesting history behind the name.

Large selection of ales, 6 on my last visit, interior is cluttered, but in a good way, a nice eclectic mix of bits and pieces, many military hats and helmets are displayed. Good value meals served.

Great character, atmosphere, and staff.

Nice pint of Abbot, friendly staff and customers.

A wonderfully bubbly and bustling place with great service. Pity about the seafood platter, which was more batter than sea. Guess we lewrn from our mistakes

Lovely meal and excellent beer garden.

Been calling in here on and off for years , great place for a drink good choice of real ales . Outside area is second to none in Derby. Although I've not eaten here for a long time I have been told it's still very good food .

got the Stella pizza from pizza pony which I believe is wed-sun and a separate part to the tavern - a bit chilly but the pizza was amazing! Really crisp bottom and no soggy dough, Stella is great as filled with cheese and fillings in each point but only con is that there wasn’t much tomato sauce in the points! other than that amazing little place, will return!

Quirky place that was a joy to visit - fantastic local brewed pint that the barman recommended and was spot on - pictures all over the walls make a real atmosphere

I really enjoyed my visit. The beer garden is lovely with lots of tables and just a good atmosphere. The pub itself is very traditional and prices seemed good. We ate from the bar menu and the food was very good. There is also an attached pizzeria with an amazing reputation. My friend recently tried it and described it as the best pizza she's ever tasted. This is backed up by the number of Italian people we have saw eating there! Definitely worth a visit. Only slight negative is that the car park is relatively small and tight, so if it's busy, expect to park somewhere else.

Food great just needed to serve it long the till 2pm

Cracking beer amazing bar staff banging home made food what more could a guy ask for.. i have never felt so welcomed. ..nearly 2 years and this place has been not just a pub but a second home... staff always in a happy bubbley mood ..highly reccomended if you like your cask ales.. especially when brewed in house

Staff ate excellent, clean, lovely beer garden

Not very organised when it comes to going into the pub as a total stranger didn't feel staff were very helpful showing where to go for buffet after a funeral or what room we were to be in x ppm were just walking around as dudnt no where to go and where to sit x

Nice selection of real ales and beers with friendly staff. The pub is decorated with a huge variety of memorabilia and items.

Staff pleasant and chatty, however, the place was so out of date. Unnecessary clutter made everywhere untidy. Not a pleasant environment.

Nice bar. Lovely garden area for sunny days.

Drink only review. Been here multiples times both in and out and one of my favourite pubs to start a night at in Derby. On a sunny day beer garden is great.

A nice place for a beer and chat with friends.

Didn't go inside, helpful pleasant staff. On site parking. . Did however get served a spirit glass for a half pint on cider. Very little difference but still a difference. Outside suitable for wheelchair users. Always kind staff.

Lovely pub great staff good pint of Beer very welcoming. Food very good 😋

Nice pub menu looked good but didn't get to try it

Beer was ok but pub was absolutely filthy.

Nice bar not eaten here yet but food looks nice pizzas look great so will ssmple soon

Fantastic warm atmosphere in old style 😊

Service and staff superb,very friendly and a very good atmosphere just very well run 👍👍

Really not sure why here has such high reviews as the food is awful. Roast beef dinner, everything clearly frozen food and nothing fresh. Only saving grace is nice Georgian setting and decent pint. Just don't eat here and it's fine...

Great food, pleasant staff, good beer well recommended

Love coming here, family style pub with good menu and drink options. Fairly priced with a lovely big beer garden and plenty of parking. Keep it up Kaz and Simon. Oh shout out to shara who served us with a smile and nothing was too much :)

Well looked after by all ,thanks.

Good beer, friendly staff, comfortable. What more do you need?

Lovely staff, very welcoming. Will definately be back. Thank you

Lovely old pub... very welcoming staff and customers and loved the decor

Mr Grundy's is a very welcoming pub with a very cosy novel interior. The food has greatly improved since my last visit (3+ years ago). There's a decent sized beer garden to the rear and on some days they now have a pizza van. Good pub, friendly staff, fast service and good food.

A great venue with friendly staff and excellent food. Nothing was to much trouble.

Amazing staff amazing vibes ❤️💯

Fantastic staff, unique surroundings and brilliant food and drink. What more could you want? Ah yes a stay in the hotel itself on one of the haunted rooms, can thoroughly recommend , can't wait to visit again

Here for a family wedding.... Caz looked after the whole party like royalty nothing was too much trouble for her.... The food was plentiful with a good variety of hot and cold food and the beer choice was excellent. I would be very happy to recommend this venue for your party.....

Worth a look at this Georgian pub , but we couldn't see much as a wedding on, good outside area beer brewed at Easton was ok

Lovely place. Plenty of space inside and outside. Staff very pleasant. Food good!

But pricey for drinks, but lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Good fun afternoon out with the family.

Great place to drink and good selection of drinks, nice beer garden when the weather is good. Don't forget to check out the pizza pony at this place they do great pizza's

Love this place fantastic food and drink and staff

Amazing staff and great social distancing. Decent price for alcohol and amazing pizza shop next door

While eating they had to come get their payment .. they could have waited till we were done eating

A fantastic interiored pub, food is lovely and the beer has dramatically improved in recent times. Landlord and landlady are really friendly too

We can only give 5 stars. We stayed there last Saturday, Service was amazing, and the food, Wow! Quantity & Quality

Excellent friendly staff .excellent food

Nice venue to sit outside when weather fine,Sunday lunch menu varied and filling,pizza menu popular. Good all round.

Pizza Pony is absolutely incredible, excellent prices and friendly staff. 10/10 love this place

Nice outside area, wide selection of guess beers, meal was good.

Food absolutely beautiful and quick service. Would recommend highly

Fantastic pub and beer garden, can’t believe I’ve only just discovered it despite living in Derby for so long!

Lovely couple of pints, staff friendly and polite, had a relaxing couple of hours.

Lovely pub, great beer and the best beer garden in Derby

Lovely staff and lovely meals 5 star
