Phoenix in North East Derbyshire

Spring roll, pork rice & beef in black bean sauce dishes were all tasty but the won tons were pretty much just tied and notted up pieces of deep fried filo pastry, there was no filling, the notted parts were hard as nails, had to spit them out after eating the edible parts so not to chip a tooth! Delivery was 45 mins. Sesame prawn toast was mostly deep fried bread, contained hardly any prawn so they weren't great either unfortunately. My first order from here, not sure I'd use again 😔

Food was excellent, views out ba k are tremendous.

Would like to say Zarah our server today did a wonderful job.

Lovely pub, great food and attentive staff. We came for a family meal and had a great time. Thank you

Lovely location, beautiful views from the garden. Good pub for a beer after a long sunny day.

Great Sunday dinner, although gutted mash isn’t on a main lunch, this definitely needs to be added. Fab kids meals, and lovely service. Special thanks to Debbie who helped us through ordering as my son has a peanut allergy. She was great with him and knew just what say to an anxious 11 y/o. Will definitely be back.

Always have a great experience here. Service is speedy, friendly and helpful (thanks Debbie!). Food tasty and good value. Recommend roast beef for a Sunday dinner - the Yorkshire puddings are the best anywhere!

1st class server,went above and beyond for my partner (as she has gluten allergies) excellent service, highly recommend

Service was fantastic, we'd been to another pub what couldn't accommodate us as there was 11 of us and we didn't book. Phoned here and threw us some tables together. Jamie/James not sure on his name was brilliant. My mums gluten free and the menu was really small for her and she left her glasses. He did his upmost to help her we aren't the easiest family. Everyone's food was bang on thanks

Attended an event here on Monday 28th April decided to have food before our event began As we arrived found the female front of house staff very rude and abrupt we sat at a table and my son ordered food and drinks on the app 20mins later no drinks had arrived but other customers where being served at the bar who had just arrived after more waiting time with no drinks my son approached the bar to ask where our order was to eventually be told the order had been taken to the wrong table by the rude front of house female my son then had to wait again and be served at the bar with our drinks ! The reason we used the app was to avoid waiting at the bar in the first place never got an apology but the way the staff represented themselves we didn't expect one how this establishment has the cheek to ask for a tip for it's staff when paying by card is totally beyond me the service was horrendous! Our food was OK but after our experience in general not enjoyably....👎

wonderful evening here and zarah is an absolute credit to you guys she was so willing and helpful to every detail

Thank you to all the staff tonight. It was a big family gathering for my birthday. The staff as always were amazing. The food and drinks were great too. Thank you

My all time favourite. Had a girlie catch up , so lunch and a Coke. Food is good and service is great . It does get busy . Outside is a lovely space , with great views over the valley. The little nooks to sit and just have a drink are very comfortable

Been here several times for meals. Everything was good. Recently had my husbands wake there. Catering was of a high standard, and the buffet service was very efficient. Even bringing out takeaway boxes for uneaten food. Willing to meet families needs (photos etc. / tea coffee station / bring additional items ie. Cakes) Excellent service. Reasonable cost.

Excellent for everything. The staff were amazing. Very friendly. Would recommend Thank you.

A great pub for food and drink made even better by the staff, in particular, Zara! A credit to the company.

Excellent food and atmosphere. The service was brilliant and our server Zarah was really great, friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back soon

Nice pub, lovely vibe, good service and yummy food! Would recommend and will visit again. Do check out the garden area. :)

Banging food,thus food is amazing and we love coming here, our server zarah was so accommodating and really nice I give her 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩.

Served by Zarah who was super friendly and helpful. Excellent customer service. Lovely food. Fillet steak was delicious

Always a reliable service at the Phoenix. Lovely venue and well staffed. Our waitress Debbie was excellent. Thank you for another great meal

Great food. Great service, just try it.

Although it's Easter hols it's really quiet, which makes it nice for peaceful, tasty brunch

Proper luv this place on a Thursday evening bit busy Fridays

Lovley local pub the food was really good and served well. Great atmosphere

Had great meal tonight great service from alathea who made us very welcome and nothing was to much trouble will definitely be back

Excellent breakfast. Food hot, freshly prepared and cooked as requested. The well done bacon on the Breakfast rolls was exactly that!! Delicious.

Called in for breakfast after a high recommendation. Great friendly helpful staff. Impressed with menu for breakfast and the food that came out was piping hot and extremely enjoyable. Nice to find somewhere that does a decent breakfast at good value. Will definitely recommend to others and be back again very soon

Called in for breakfast today, really enjoyed it great food and a very enjoyable experience all round.

Awesome food and service. The food here is amazing the staff are lovely and friendly. And a good choice of beers.

Had my mums 70th birthday party here today and it was awful on every level. The attitude of the staff was pretty much like we weren't welcome - no one even thought to wish my mum a happy birthday. I asked for some music on 3 times and was really friendly and polite and was told they are a restaurant and not that kind of pub??? Bizarre response. It's not like I was asking for a disco, just some background music would have given it some atmosphere rather than silence. Food wise, out of 30+ meals not one person enjoyed it. Found cling film in one of the salads, steak over cooked and told "the chef has got it as close as possible" to medium rare when it resembled boot leather??? Even the chips were overcooked. I've eaten here loads in the past and even had my dad's wake here and it was so unbelievably bad today I'll never go back. Customer service is clearly dead and we had to laugh at the ridiculous excuses as to the state of the food and the fact that no one cared whatsoever. One young waiter who worked hard bringing the food out was the only good thing I can comment on. I suggest he gets a job somewhere better before the attitude of the rest of the staff drag him down to their level.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was standard, typical pub grub

Great food and staff are always friendly..

Lovely cosy pub. Sometimes a wait at the bar but staff are great and never usually takes too long to get a drink. Food is lovely.

Always excellent food in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The place does get very busy so would recommend booking in advance.

Used to call to the Phoenix 35 years ago when I was 1st dating my now wife, she's from Mosborough, myself Rotherham. I don't have any bad memories of the place apart from the double exit car park exit used to be treacherous, which eventually lead to someone crashing into my wife's car on the brow of the hill. Now blocked off so... Anyway. Lovely place, decor is very comfortable and a wide variety of interesting ales. Not easy finding somewhere that does a 16oz T-Bone but now, indeed, I've found one of my happy places hehe... T-Bone and an Abbots and I'm set :) cracking menu and service! A review, of this review. Although the service and atmosphere remains very nice, last night ordered what was supposed to be a 32oz Tomahawk steak. Prepared nicely but I would day more like a 14oz at most.

Didn’t receive 2 of what I ordered

Good value for money Excellent service

Good quality food and they came back to give me my free prawn crackers. Would definitely recommend 👌

Thank you so much for redelivering after our mistake! The food was delish x

Yesterday was the day of my brother's funeral. I had booked 3 tables (total of 15 places) earlier in case any of the mourners wished to get together for a meal. I rang the Phoenix to confirm and asked if the tables could be put close to each other. 13 people wished to attend which meant that I should have taken menu choices. Unfortunately I soon realised that there was a problem at such short notice. However, I don't know who I spoke to but he agreed to set up a table for 13 with less than an hour's notice. The table was ready when we arrived and we were served by cheerful staff. Always a lovely meal at the Phoenix - tried and trusted. I can only say thank you to everyone who looked after us helping to make a sad occasion a celebration.

We had a lovely meal! It is the first time I took my parents! They really enjoyed it! Adam who served us was absolutely amazing! So kind so friendly he went above and beyond! Always checking if everything was okay with our meal and checking if we needed any more drinks! We couldn’t ask for more! Thank you Adam we would definitely come back!

Geat food, great atmosphere, super friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We arrived and the place was super busy with a party going on in the front rooms. We were greeted and seated by a lovely lady and waited on by macy. We did encounter communication with other staff and all were really friendly and lovely. Service was quick and efficient and all staff were hard at work after a busy Sunday. This was our first visit but will return in the future. Thanks everyone!

It's ok for pub food. Good service

Great food and great service from Debbie. Food was served quickly and hot. Debbie couldn’t do enough for us. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

It is one of our favourite local pub n restaurant. All staff are friendly. Lovely atmosphere.. The food is nice.. I always come here if I fancy a steak. 😋... N I had 40oz Tomahawk steak 😋 Absolutely delicious..

Food great, ambiance and service. Highly recommended. Staff always polite and very helpful. Today we were served by Debbie, who took our order promptly and delivered our Sunday roast piping hot and with a smile. She was attentive throughout and a credit to the establishment. Thank you Debbie.

Just had the steak pie peas and mash although i looked at the mash and thought that'll never fill me,as I'm big eater,the pie was quite big and full of big piece's of meat,and it was piping hot throughout. It's the first time I've been in this pub but I'm sure it won't be the last. It's a warm clean and spacious not sat on top of each other and eye's on you to hurry up.very relaxed and open fire for atmosphere and its quite busy with locals

We visited the Phoenix yesterday and it was a party of 26 of us. The staff were so organised and everyone's food order was correct not 1 mistake and all the food arrived out at the same time. The staff couldn't do enough for us, such a great friendly team. Amazing food, amazing service and would highly recommend. Thank you for making our birthday celebration a great day. We will definitely be back 10/10 🙌🏼

Great good will be ordering again

Great atmosphere and a lovely meal, although fairly busy, our service was very prompt. The food was cooked to perfection

Excellent food in pleasant surroundings at a reasonable price. Staff friendly and helpful.

Had the best night for my hubby’s 70th. Buffet was absolutely amazing. Adam was friendly, helpful and just a lovely young man. Thank you all for making it a special night.

Great local pub with a laid back country pub atmosphere.

Visited today for my mums birthday. As ever, great food and service. I had some dietary requirements and I couldn’t have felt more at ease! Thank you so much for the lovely service and food! Will be returning as always!!

Tasty hot food delivered with a smile first time ordering here will definitely be ordering again thank you

Food not to temperature but was quickly rectified, very friendly staff in a busy pub

Popped in for a brunch. Actually wanted the "Scottish" brunch as advertised on website but not available in England. Greene Kings wrong advertising!!! Shame on greene King, as I love a Scottish breakfast!!! Cant understand why it can't be available nationally, especially as all ingredients are readily available!!!!! We did have the full "English" though and was really well presented and tasty. A small bit on the pricey side but had no complaints.

Rubbish food cold. This is a follow on from my last review, after complaining about the quality of food, i was offered £40 off a meal, i have been today with my family and the food was worthy of the 5 🌟. Also staff service was also good.

The food here is amazing as always

Fantastic pub atmosphere, very friendly staff. Very clean pub. Had a few drinks then a meal. The meals were really nice but the steaks were a bit chewy and fatty but overall lovely meals.

Visited last night for a family meal and I'm so glad we chose this pub as the place to go. Everyone in our party was so happy with the food, the service, and the atmosphere of the pub, it made it a perfect evening for a special occasion. Thanks so much to all the staff for being so welcoming.

Great service from Sarah, very attentive and polite.

Nice atmosphere Well staffed friendly and always efficient Love the table service

Beautiful food, fresh, tasty, good value

Just had our Christmas Day at the Phoenix, service and food was amazing, highly recommend, so much so booked again for this Christmas!

We frequent the Phoenix about twice a week. The staff, familiar with our regular visits, are always warm and inviting. The food is consistently delicious and perfectly cooked. We're so happy and lucky to have your pub nearby and love visiting it! Thank you.

It was a very busy Christmas Eve and the pub was packed out. We were greeted at the table check in desk and after a short wait were shown to our table for four. We ordered drinks which arrived quite promptly. After ordering our meals, I expected that there might be a long wait because the pub was very busy. I was wrong, 10 minutes after ordering, our meals were on the table! Our waitress was obviously very busy but she remained calm, unflustered and attentive. We had an excellent family meal. I don't live locally but I can heartily recommend The Phoenix because of it's excellent service and good quality meals. Oh, the beers were on song too! We will return!

Very good it's a nice friendly pub. It was quite busy but attentive quick friendly service. Food was lovely 👍

We have eaten here a few times and decided to come here Christmas Eve. As expected the restaurant was very busy but the staff member (Lydia, I believer name was) was pleasant and professional, taking our order and getting the food to the table in a timely manner despite the busyness and workload. Thank you

Visited at the weekend for breakfast with Santa, what an amazing experience made all the better by Becky the elf who had so much time for my children getting down to their level and giving us a real personal experience. The food was presented well and came out quickly all piping hot. The cost of the morning was well worth the money. Looking forward to next year.

Festive family gathering. 11 adult s and two children. Very Very busy but staff smiling attentive, friendly and helpful. All food came out at same time hot and very good quality ( although they did forget the pigs in blankets on the Turkey dinners!) Not rushed at all. Drinks and service very good. Enjoyed!

We booked a breakfast with Santa here. The tables were organised so that big groups could fit together easily and the time slots for everyone to eat and then visit Santa worked well, no queuing or stood around waiting, just one of the elves to fetch us. Our particular Elf - Becky, did an amazing job. She hyped up the kids and got them excited and got really involved with them and I think this made the experience even better. Santa also played a great part, spending lots of time with the kids and we never at all felt rushed, he read the children's letters and answered their questions etc. The breakfast was also lovely and all the orders were correct etc. Would definitely recommend and would definitely do it again next year. Merry Christmas Pheonix Staff!! Chris

Very nice place good food I think and not to expensive worth a visit

Great breakfast with santa for our group, lovely food and service - Santa's elf (Becky) was great and went out of her way to make it special for the kids- Thankyou! Xxx

Just got back from breakfast with santa. Absolutely amazing experience. Kids loved it. Not rushed made to feel special. Becky the elf did an awesome job! Will deffo come back. Staff were amazing x

Very busy. Slow service but could understand with numbers. Food okay. Staff pleasant.

We were a large party of 28. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The meals arrived quickly and all together. The food was good and hot and we received everything we had ordered without any issues.

Lovely meal with friends, made better by the excellent service from Adam.

I had booked for 19 of us to have Christmas dinner there because of fantastic previous experience there. I cannot fault either the staff, food or venue! So friendly and helpful. So lovely a meal and in a lovely area where the furniture was rearranged to suit us better. As a group we have visited many pubs in Sheffield and not one has out performed The Phoenix which is why we go back! All credit to the lovely staff ❤️

Had breakfast with santa with 7 kids. Good time had by all. Elf Becky went all out to make sure kids had a great time

Great food and such a lovely cosy place. Highly recommend 👌

Had a brilliant breakfast with santa, the food was lovely and the staff were fantastic. Becky the elf made it a magical experience and all of the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Becky even made sure the school Teddy bear was included. It was a relaxing morning, and the children weren't rushed when meeting santa. Santa was great, Becky, the elves and Mark made sure everyone had everything we needed. Great food and service as always. We will definitely be back xx

Lovely breakfast ‘with Santa’ this morning. Becky was an amazing Elf, making it an extra special morning! Excellent service. Thank you

We recently enjoyed Breakfast with Santa at The Phoenix, and it was absolutely fantastic. The personal meeting with Santa was a highlight—he made the experience truly magical, and the thoughtful gift added an extra special touch. Jamie did an outstanding job ensuring everything was just right. From the delicious breakfast to the beautifully festive atmosphere, every detail was carefully planned to make the morning enjoyable. The friendly service and warm setting made it a perfect way to kick off the Christmas season. We’re already looking forward to visiting again next year. A huge thank you to Jamie for making it such a memorable experience. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve been dining at The Phoenix for many years, and Emily has always made our visits extra special. Her friendly, attentive approach and genuine warmth make every visit feel effortless and enjoyable. She’s been brilliant with our son, Tobias, since he was little, always taking the time to make him feel comfortable and welcome. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her customers, and that personal touch has made The Phoenix feel like much more than just a place to eat. While the rest of the team is also great, Emily’s exceptional service and attention to detail stand out. Over the years, we’ve come to value not just her professionalism but also the friendship we’ve built through our regular visits. Thank you, Emily, for always looking after us so well. It’s a big part of what keeps us coming back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The food was very nice and the waiters were very helpful.

Greeted and seated promptly. Introduced to our server Emily who was excellent! Food cooked and presented in a perfect manner. Great choice and delicious.

Terrific food, service,atmosphere,views.

Always fantastic food and brilliant service from Emily. She a credit to the team and thanks again

Booked the Phoenix for a pre-Christmas get together for 19. Online order system made it easy to pre-book everyone’s meals. The staff were brilliant; really helpful. Food was fantastic. Everybody in our party has said how much they all enjoyed it. We would highly recommend the Phoenix to anyone wanting a great meal, in a lovely pub, with amazing staff and service. Thank you to the team there.

Absolutely stunning place, the food was delicious

The food was lovely and Adam who served us couldn't have been more attentive!!! Will certainly be coming again and would recommend highly! 🤩

Always a really nice welcome from the staff, food always good. Nothing bad to say

Lovely lunch special with my Hubby. Bev looked after us and was helpful, friendly and efficient. The food was delicious with plenty of choice on the menu, we shall return.

We are regulars at the Phoenix and always receive a very good welcome from Adam, his customer service skills are excellent and nothing is never too much trouble. Adam is an asset to the phoenix and you know that you will always be well looked after when he is on shift.

Very busy in the bar as a Friday night we turned up early for our booked table which was no problem and got took straight to our table Served by the lovely Ryan and we both had the Steak, we did have a couple of errors in the orders but even when we spilt a drink Ryan dealt with everything with efficiency and professionalism and even replaced the spilt drink for us, thank you for making our Friday steak night so enjoyable Will definitely be back again 10/10

Our waiter Adam was so lovely, and friendly. The vegetarian options are also great.

Absolutely brilliant place. The food was excellent and really reasonably priced. The service was superb and the staff could not do enough for us. Lovely afternoon in picturesque surroundings. Can't recommend the pub enough.
