Olde House Restaurant in Chesterfield

The Old House is really good for a night out, and just for nipping in to for a good meal and a wonderful drink. It has an amazing atmosphere, and a very good welcome from the staff.

Lovely place, friendly staff and wonderful food.

Attended a wedding and one particular bar person was shocking . Then he refused to serve me said I had too much to drink 3 pints.It boiled down to him no liking ex miliary and made no quarms saying it.Vet the staff

Food was great service was fast on mains and desserts was late.. very brilliant staff and friendly lovely kids play area

Had a lovely lunch with the family today. Great food and the service was excellent. A special mention for Sarah who looked after us and couldn’t have been more helpful! Sarah

Our experience at the Olde house was quite poor. We ordered turkey and it tasted like cardboard and paper. I've never eaten a meal that was so lacking in taste. The gravy was like water. We asked the waitress who was courteous and kind in her service for the gravy to be thicker in texture and she looked at us as if we were poor children from Oliver Twist. "Please sir can I have some more food". The service at the bar was superb. We were served by a tall young man who had a photographic memory and remembered everything and we ordered a lot. Thank you Old House Team. The kitchen needs to sample the tasteless food it serves and make amends ASAP.

Better than I expected, I didn't expect much. Friendly and nice staff, food was fine and good value. Burgers always good!!

Excellent pub grub served with a smile in pleasant surroundings. The accommodation is clean, comfortable and unusually spacious. The staff couldn't have been more engaged. I will definitely return and recommend to others.

Lovely service by Jess.. she was really attentive, helpful and friendly.

Stayed in one of the double rooms. Very clean, bed was so comfortable. Hotel rates reasonable. Staff are very friendly. We had a cooked breakfast every day. This, also included Tea, Coffee, Cereal, Toast, Orange Juice, and fresh fruit. Russell the chef cooked breakfast to perfection. Also thanks to the awesome ladies on the breakfast crew, Shell & Kay. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would definitely stay again.

Hubby and I stayed here earlier in the year for a week end and love it so much we decided to come back to stay here while visiting family, I was lovely the first time we stayed but even better this time round, the staff are amazing especially Shell and Kay the breakfast girls, warm welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We ate out once but loved the food and staff so much that we ate at the olde house 6 of the 7 days bring family here too. It is the best place I have ever stayed in. I cannot wait to come back again highly recommended, such lovely staff and all work hard.

Nice food and friendly atmosphere

Attended a family funeral today so decided to travel over yesterday, and booked 2 rooms for the 4 of us. Arrived approximately 1430 hours, booked in upon arrival quickly and efficiently by Terry. Came down to the bar area later for a few drinks and a meal. I had sirloin steak cooked exactly as requested. My Mum and cousin had fish chips. Huge fish which they struggled to finish. My other cousin had the gammon. If the plate would have had a pattern on it he would have taken that with it. He demolished the lot. Terry was still on duty and took the time to come over, sat and had a conversation with us. She told us the history of the pub, and it's origins. Proper belly laughed with her, she was such good company. Drinks competitively priced. Room was spotless, had everything we needed. Wonderful big bath which I took the opportunity to use. If I had one criticism it would be to perhaps fixing grab handles on the wall, or the bath. Extremely comfortable nights sleep. Next morning we went down to breakfast. Unfortunately I forgot to get the name of our server, but she could not have been anymore helpful. She gave us the impression that she was a grafter with her workload. Started duty at 0530 hours cleaning, serving and I think going on to service the rooms. All of the staff were so pleasant and accommodating. Suffice to say I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Chesterfield area.

Only given 4star this visit three roast dinners ordered meals were nice but the thing that upset me was tiny jug of gravy was given to us so I asked for more gravy only to be told we charge for more gravy so paid come on olde house 50£ paid for meals don't be skinflints been good customers for years might see you soon?

Lovely venue, friendly staff, great prices

What a fabulous venue for celebrating the wedding of our friends! The ceremony was held in the Needham Room, which was a lovely intimate space for a gathering of family and close friends then the after celebrations were through in the larger function room, which was beautifully decorated and the tables and chairs were just perfect! The evening came and the DJ set got us all up dancing, the buffet was delicious and plenty of it! Julie and the team worked extremely hard to make the whole day so very special! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Went to a wedding here. The food was varied and good the staff efficient and friendly.

The staff and the food was excellent.

Fantastic service, especially Jack!

Visited the pub last week for a family meal. The food was fresh and delicious. Excellent service and the staff were very helpful. Would definitely book again

Came for dinner with friends. Amazing service and good food. Definitely will be back

Just had a lovely evening at The Olde House with friends and family. Good service and lovely food.

Good food nice atmosphere very helpful staff jack and Barney

I want to start by saying the bar/waiting staff were brilliant, this review really isn't negative towards them. We booked a table for 15 a while ago for a 50th bday meal, we was told there was an hour wait on food that was fine as we could see it was packed, the first 2 meals came out after 1 hour and 25 min the next 2 came out about 10 minutes after then more came quite a while after that unfortunately a couple of meals had to be sent back because they were burnt I had medium rare steak which was so well done I actually couldn't eat it so asked for a replacement the next 1 was edible but not medium rare . My husbands sauce had actually set in the boat and came out in 1 lump. The staff continued to smile be polite and change our meals. We did complain to a manager and to be fair was all given a free drink. We have been to the olde house dozens of times but earlier in the day not in the evening and always had a lovely food for this reason we would still come back but I'm not sure we would come in the evening/weekend again but stick to lunchtime. The staff were put under a lot of pressure and we were very greatful for their hard work .

We had a really nice relaxed meal-good value pub grub.

Food was amazing, and the service provided by Lewis was top-notch. He was very polite and how quickly he brought our food out despite it being busy. He is a very friendly and hardworking man.

Food was lovely and the service from Lewis was brilliant

Very polite, friendly staff. Very helpful. Food and service is great. Charlotte, Anna, Jack.

First visit for many years. Friendly, helpful staff. Food is much the same standard as many Marston pubs - not the best. The Lasagne seemed more pasta than meat, the only saving grace was that it was hot. This is more than can be said about the side of chips - not even close to warm, never mind hot. Asked staff to change them, which they were happy to do. The chips that came back seemed to indicate that they had been refried, as they were far crisper than the first serving. Having had similar experiences at other Marstons outlets, I think we will probably draw the line at visiting this chain again.

SARAH was so very attentive and couldn’t have helped us enough fantastic service. Thank you Sarah.

Jack was very polite and curtious

My whole family, got to enjoy a really good meal, and night out. Thank you for excellent service, quick, hot food. Perfect order for a fussy 8year old. Shame we couldn't use the app to get the 30% discount.

Brilliant service, highly recommend

Alright food and drink what you'd expect really. Just leaving this due to the great service the chap Michael really looked after us much thanks for making out trip.

Came out for a meal with my family today and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals Kian was our server he was great he ensure we had all the sauces we needed ensured our meals was okay, thank you

Polite, great service from Kian

Good food and great service with attentive friendly staff, food hot and quickly brought to table, recommended highlighting

Nice place, good food and service

Excellent. Chicken tikka masala was really tasty and the naan bread was soft and fluffy. Pie was great as always. Steak was cooked really well. Chips are lovely here. A great meal.

Lovely meal and reasonably priced good choice also Sarah The waitress Sarah is always helpful and cheerful bar staff are pleasant lots of free parking

Pleasant decor and friendly staff. Set in a picturesque location. Food was tasty.

Kian who served us was lovely and helpful

Sunday dinner excellent food first class service staff very friendly and helpful especially Jack.thanks Jack definitely visiting again.

Food was great! Kian was a great waiter

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always a good atmosphere and friendly staff

Kian served us friendly and good service

We had a lovely meal here and Kian was super nice and helpful.

Booked a table for 6.30 with two children in the group. 8 o clock no food ....we have a wait on food. Poor service avoid if you can't wait two hours. Disappointed dosnt cover it

Served by Sarah, who is always friendly and helpful.

A very busy pleasant pub, serving a lot of food all day long.

The blond lady who served the tables was racist and rude. The food was awful, especially the scrambled eggs that were clumped and dry. Maybe they thought we were tourists, but me and my husband we have lived in the UK since 2018. Scottish people are definitely more welcoming and know how to cook. The room was clean at least. P.s. the review has definitely been sent to the right place. We were a family of 6, we rented 2 rooms. My husband asked for "warm milk" and the lady made it difficult for him, she made him repeat it at least 4 times and was snarky. We've never received such treatment in Scotland where we live. It's awful that you are now trying to make it seems I've sent the review to the wrong place.

Amended from 5* After todays visit I came to the conclusion to drop the stars after multiple times being dissatisfied but today is the worse of all. Ordered mega mixed grill and a surf and turf and was supposed to be rare. Doesn’t look rare, more blue. Not that it mattered as couldn’t cut the rump, fatty and stringy bits everywhere so left both 8oz rumps and by far the worse quality rump we’ve had anywhere. Not the first time here either however thought it was a one off. Gammon was like a slab of fat. Ordered mozzarella dough balls and at till went through as mozzarella and cheddar bites and I noticed this was wrong so mentioned it’s supposed to say mozzarella dough balls. Got assured that’s what it’s called on till and yet when it came out, was totally the wrong thing and it’s quite annoying that I queried this at the till. Won’t bother again, feels like a mockery now.

Food service quick and efficient,Lady taking order at the bar a bit unsociable didn't seem to be enjoying her work.

Booked on line for 6.15pm but staff had no record, proved booking by showing text message. Couldn't order at table, kept clicking off menu(could've been my fault) Asked at bar to order, no problem but 45min wait and then told no dough left for pizza requested. Decided to try elsewhere.

Fish finger sandwich very disappointing never came in a bloomer as stated on menu and no tarter sauce in it also stated on menu ☹️

food was lovely, was served by Julie and Dan and they both had a lovely smile on their faces, took dogs here and they enjoyed their food aswel, Lauren brought our food out very polite and Terri was very helpful Would deffo be back again

Staff very friendly we were taken to table but only one problem has the chef got to put red cabbage or what ever it is on the dinners as our party DOSENT like it we have told staff but it keeps beening put on plates only one more problem when we order sweet two of our party like applepie and custard as one is diabetic but for the last three weeks we have been told sorry we haven't got any you can have a laugh with the staff keep up the good work we I book online for a Sunday as it saves father in law cooking

We came in this evening and the food was lovely, a woman named charlotte served us and she was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be visiting again.

Would highly recommend the Olde House. Always enjoy my meal. There's a good range of beers. Play area for the kids and outdoor seating. Always a warm welcome from the lovely manager and first class service from the gorgeous Sarah.

Took the kids for a couple of hours. Lovely little play area outside for them. Staff are brilliant.

Lewis was our waiter today he was friendly and helped get the dessert we wanted put on the app in quick time thanks for the help

Ordered starters to come out with mains, but didn't happen, so we didn't eat our meal at the same time.

Excellent service and lovely food. Didn’t wait long at all for food to arrive. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Had a lovely lasagne, hot and really nice. Not microwaved and rubbery like some chain pubs can be. Service was good and the waiting staff pleasant and friendly. Really good value for money.

Service is great, food is good, Rhys, Weronika, Kian & Teri were very helpful, thats why we stay here all the time while working away👍

Service was excellent Zoe and Sara brilliant as always

This is a very good stop-over pub. The rooms were a good size and bed very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and the food especially breakfasts was excellent

Popped in for lunch, the service from Lexie was lovely, bar staff great. We really like coming here.

*Updated 2024 - First the positives, Staff were pleasant, the Chips and gammon were nice, as for the rest of the meal, utter rubbish, had the mixed grill, Steak not cooked right, asked for medium it arrived blue/rare, most fatty piece I have ever seen and tasted of what I can only describe as soap, Chicken breast was squeaky when cutting with a knife and absolutely bone dry on the inside, sausages were mostly all gristle and undercooked, mushroom was burnt, peas like bullets - My Partner had the roast dinner, Yorkshire pudding was dry and tasted old, vegetables were more than just al dente bordering on raw, I did complain to staff who were uninterested and dismissive and didn't do anything to rectify this mess - will be taking my complaint direct to Marstons.

We had a family and friends gathering after my sisters funeral at 10am. It was a difficult time because people had eaten breakfast but it was too early for lunch. Julie the manager was extremely helpful and put on pastries tea and coffee. The reception from the staff was very warm and welcoming. It’s was a very pleasant experience after a very sad funeral. Than you to all the staff for the pleasant experience.

Chicken was dry and rubbery. steak was very fatty. The kebab was lovely and I shall reorder another time.

Always lovely food! Great for the kids. And lovely staff. Thank you for your hospitality today Sarah. Nice, friendly lovely member of staff.

A big thankyou to Julie and her staff for making colin and becki special day totally outstanding from the booking of the wedding to the breakfast was brilliant the venue and food was excellent the hotel room was superb all worked very hard bless you all thankyou so much one happy couple

Ladies that lunch visit regularly for our Salads after our slimmers group.We have the hot Chicken and Bacon Salad. It is good value for money. It is well presented and there is plenty on the plate . Our other lady has food off the hot menu hunters chicken. She loves it . Same again good value for money and plenty on the plate. The staff are so welcoming and would do anything for you. It's the only place in the area for a good lunch.

Nice bar with a good atmosphere shame about the price of the drinks they are extortionate

Impromptu visit for food and wasn't disappointed

Russell ccoked my breakfast this morning and in my 25 years of travelling up and down the country staying in hotels and the su h with work this was by far the best breakfast I've ever eaten and the service was exceptional

Food was lovely, service from katie was great, very attentive and smiley

family wanted to try another place close to us. Food was chain food, bland, dry, maybe more radiation in it than an X-ray (microwaved) Staff didn't seem to care about anything. the table next to us swore more than a trooper. At least we gave it a shot, but we will not come back as long as this is a chain pub.

I have had fantastic experiences of the Olde House. Not only is the food amazing; but the staff are incredibly friendly. Ami, in particular, is wonderful and accommodating to all customers needs. I look forward to returning.

Weronika was great, really friendly and engaging. Food was very nice as always and didnt have to wait long

Weronika, amazing service! Very bubbly! 🩷

We went for tea and did the orfer at the table. We were served by a fantastic member of staff called Weronika. She was so helpful and chatty and made it feel like nothing was too much trouble. Fabulous team member and all the food was delicious too!! Hood pric3 and served really quick.

Cheap and cheerful. Friendly staff and good pub grub. WeroniKa very polite and made extra efforts with our daughter which is greatly appreciated.

There was 14 of us & we ordered separately but one after the other. The final order had been lost, apparently the chef had dropped the order form on the floor so it hadn't been cooked so by the time the last meals came out everyone else at the table had finished. Service was very slow although the waiting on staff were very helpful & polite. When ordering food we were told that there wasn't any chips to go with the meals as they had run out so could only have fries which doesn't really go well with a mixed grill. I had taken a birthday cake in for my 8 year old which they bought to the table with a lit candle but then we didn't get offered any knife to cut it with or any plates to go with it so ended up taking the cake home to eat. Just very poor & slow service.

Just basic, donkey derby better food and atmosphere service friendly

Good food portions, wife had the chicken ultimate burger and I had a potato/leek and cheese pie, both were lovely and tasty and hot. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Got busy, a popular pub and I'm not surprised.

Georgie was amazing, even when I ordered the wrong meal. Always smiling and accommodating.

Good food and friendly staff (Sarah) what more could we ask for

Brilliant food & atmosphere, good place to meet with friends or go as a couple or for a family

We booked for a one night stay whilst in the area. Staff were all so helpful and friendly, very relaxed and comfortable environment. The room was very clean, nicely decorated and a good space. We enjoyed our breakfast and I would stay again.

Staying the night at this Hotel, for the second time this year, it's Sunday evening, outside is busy as it's a very nice day, inside a pleasant relaxed mixture of couples, family's and friends mainly there to eat. Decoration is ok, modern and familiar for a chain pub. Ordered from table and beer turned up quickly a couple of minutes food about 10 minutes later which fore is about perfect timing. Had the surf and turf, steak was a good rare, just as ordered. I was waited on by Georgie, a friendly young lady, who made me feel quite welcome, and for who nothing was to much trouble, fetching me some extra condiments, with a nice smile, and a friendly exchange of pleasantries. I travel the country a lot, staying in many hotels and I came back as I remembered this place had a relaxed atmosphere, reasonable food and pleasant, friendly staff.

Nice family meal before we left to go home to Spain

We haven’t visited for a number of years and took advantage of a coupon. Can’t believe how good it has been! Best mixed grill I’ve ever had and so tasty and great value. We’re told the chef was Neil. Thank you. We will be back again soon.

Amazing service from Georgie who was lovely , really enjoyed our meal :)

Georgie. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and evening at the Olde House Inn Chesterfield, Derbyshire Thank you Karen and Steve.

Waitress (Georgie) was very well mannered.
