Seven Wells in South Derbyshire

I love this pub our server was called Chelsea and she was so nice and even came to check on us I would deff recommend to go here

The other day I popped in was warmly welcome by a very smart young lady. The place is very welcome and spoilt for choice of what to eat and drink. Creamy garlic mushrooms to die for and sirloin hit the spot. Well what else can I say but well done team . Very not been before check it out for yourselves

Friendly relaxed place where I meet many friends for drinks and meal. The team are very friendly and the food is a good quality.

Nice atmosphere really nice food and really polite

I would like to say I have been using this restaurant for quite a long time now and up to now I have never had a problem. However this evening an error was made with an order we had placed, a woman came over (im gathering the manager/landlady) and said that the food that had arrived to our table was our problem for the wrong order but she would change it if we wanted her to.She did not have to make a song and dance about it but did anyway, we hadn't. We spend a lot of money in the seven wells, twice weekly. She has put me off going back in there to be honest. The staff I usually deal with are very pleasant, but I feel she was pretty rude and to be honest I don't usually see her serving.

Lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. Myself, partner and children were looked after by the amazing waitress El. She was extremely friendly, professional and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be returning, thankyou 😊

Very over cooked poor portions had a nacho sharer for two and was not even for one. Gone down hill this place has. Won’t be coming back.

Lovely food , lovely staff. Was served by Ellie and she was nothing but pleasant and helpful.Will definitely return again.

We as a family of 4 have been to this pub multiple times and every time, we have extremely enjoyed the meals! Very Reasonably priced and we go back regularly.

Very disappointing Mothers Day meal with inedible food. Unfortunately this is the second time recently that we have had an issue with for at the Seven Wells. Although the management was very understanding and explained the issues. Might be worth a change of supplier!

The food was reasonably priced and tasted fantastic, and a good selection of lagers and beers all reasonably priced, the staff are all helpful and polite. I will be visiting this pub again 😀

We visited The Seven Wells in Derby today with our family for lunch. Dalton looked after us, he was very friendly and helpful. He provided us with top service. In fact , all the staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome.

Came in for a quick bite and was met with the lovely Jake who was very attentive and created an enjoyable experience. Food was great.

Good food warm plates , very nicee meals l had filling steak sandwich.More than suffbicient My grandson and daughter were also pleased .

Tried the 2 for £20 menu this week, what a bargain! Deli steak and ale pie and a proper portion, not your stingey offer portions, plus a drink in the price, what’s not to like.. Sarah, Fran, James and the staff always have a warm welcome , we love it. Always great food but what is particularly good is the great range of cask ales with regular guests. Mondays are a winner as there are certain discounted beers plus ytou can use your CAMRA discount-win win! Staff are always fab and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Go try it!

Jake was very helpful and all in all. A very nice place to go

Good food in a nice and friendly environment.

Dalton was very polite and excellent service

It was delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. For saying we walked in on a Friday night with no reservations, we were seated immediately and looked after by the friendly staff with no fuss. Thank you for a lovely evening.

I frequently use the establishment as a local watering hole. The staff are very understanding 👏 friendly atmosphere and very good staff 👍 Up the Wells.

Went there for lunch. Staff very pleasant. Food looked good but unfortunately all the cooked food was only warm and not hot. I would say only average for a pub meal. Otherwise nice place to visit.

Second visit, first time was absolutely excellent, great service, great food... second visit less so, service still good but food was "ok" at best. Squid starter was over cooked & tough, main of Salmon and baby new potatoes was fine in respect of the fish but the potatoes resembled small standard whites and tasted like they had been hanging around for a while. We pointed out the over cooked squid but no reduction on the bill or any particular interest shown. We may give it one more chance, yet to decide.

The service was quick, the atmosphere was lively but not too crowded or overwhelming… the food was tasty, I had the grilled chicken burger with rosemary fries which were amazing. Highly recommend.

Popped here on the way back from an adventure with the alpacas, literally 5 mins away so an excellent day out, with some delicious food. Even better that kids ate free so if your watching the penny's it's a good deal... chelsea a charming young lady very knowledgeable.

Visited for lunch today hungry and cold, the seven wells did not disappoint, Chelsea who looked after us was very friendly and attentive. I had the beef burger off the lunch menu, a great portion that arrived in a great time. My two young boys had nuggets and sausage meals from the children's menus, empty plates and full tummy's I can't complain. Thank you all

We recently visited the Greene King Pub over the past two weekends and had a varied experience with the food. However, we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional professionalism, empathy, and service provided by James and Sarah. James demonstrated a brilliant attitude and interacted with us wonderfully, even during busy times. Sarah's experience and outstanding knowledge of customer service were evident throughout our visits. Both James and Sarah are incredibly hardworking and hands-on, which is a true credit to Greene King. While our rating for the food reflects some inconsistency, the remarkable service from James and Sarah made our visits memorable.

It’s good that you can choose waitress service in the left side restaurant or a bar style restaurant to the right. Sarah , Fran and James behind the bar very relaxed and friendly

Beautiful food and lovely staff. Always look forward to coming here and will look forward to next time! Staff are lovely and attentive, they can't do enough for you!

Booked the private family dining room for my mums 60th and it was great. A nice spacious room for us and the kids. Clean and we were able to decorate. The team serving us were friendly and the food was delicious. Really happy

This spot is great for a date night. Warm friendly staff. Food amazing. Brilliant atmosphere. Plenty car parking spaces.

Had a wonderful 2 course meal here. The food was very good and the service was beyond what I expected. Cody, who served me was very professional in making sure I had everything I needed and went the extra mile.

Absolutely delicious food and great service. I had the vegan kofta skewers in flat bread & hubby had the chicken salad both with fries. Soft drinks & coffee.

Came in for breakfast. Great variety. fully enjoyed my full English, great friendly service from Sarah. Will return 😀

Lovely place, lovely staff, amazing food friendly atmosphere

3 of us met up here 1x gluten free 1 x vegan 1 x normal menu, it had a brilliant menu catering for everyone, the service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. Very reasonably priced too. Becky

Always a cracking meal service is a bit hit an miss lately

Food, service and atmosphere is always excellent.

Great food and great staff like always

We arrived 13 people deep ,including kids, about an hour before we should have - due to a Severn Trent disaster. They still let us use the upper level for an hour before serving good food.

Nice Pub came early and food came quickly

Staff were very welcoming and engaging as soon as we walked in. Service was quick despite it being Christmas Day and fully booked. Food quality was excellent & choice of drinks, including the non alcoholic cocktails was great. Fantastic atmosphere throughout. Made our day. Thank you.

The Christmas Day lunch was very good. I was surprised that the greeter knew my name on arrival and took us to the table. It was impressive to see a printed and attractive menu card headed with my name and time of booking, plus a list of the names in my party with the choices for each course clearly indicated. All three courses arrived at just the right speed and were presented at the appropriate temperature. The servers were attentive, checking on our satisfaction and bringing drinks as required. The whole environment was warm and comfortable and well presented.

Very pleasant environment and friendly staff but the food was bland & overcooked.

Edit: Have just been down to the Seven Wells With my 2 boys for breakfast with Santa, had a really great time the boys loved the elves and the grinch the breakfast was amazing too. Really great service today from a lovely smiley lady called Cody she was amazing also Fran & Jake were very helpful to really lovely pub thank you Seven Wells

Popped in for a spot of lunch, was greeted by Jake, James and Fran. Sarah took our order and she was very attentive. The service was quick and the meal was brilliant. Would highly recommend.

Had lunch here with a friend & it was lovely, the food was really good & reasonably priced, the staff were helpful and friendly, & gave good service, definitely recommend

Edit x 2.... Again a Fantastic experience at Seven Wells. I thought I'd update on my most previous post as at this time of year I want to show my thanks and gratitude to the staff. Again we have a wonderful experience and food was spot on. The pub was busy but that did not take away from the quality. I quite frankly don't know how management and staff cope at this time of year. Another top job team wells!! Edit... Another outstanding visit! Food hot and fast service. Footy atmosphere brilliant! Come here time and time again and never disappointed. What a stunning pub! Very family friendly and clean!! Food incredible! Large portions andvery quick service. Couldn't ask for anything more. Will definitely revisit. Well done Seven Wells!!! What pubs should be like.

We went to the Seven Wells on Monday 16th December for a quiet staff meal. Since it was almost Christmas we thought we'd be able to get a Christmassy meal but sadly these were only available if pre-ordered (hence four not five stars - it's Christmas afterall). The place was lovely. The atmosphere was quiet but then it was early so I didn't expect it to be buzzing. Food was served in good time and was tasty. I had the steak and ale pie which was full and lots of gravy with it. My colleague had the chicken skewers and was beaten by the amount of food. Other colleagues had the tacos which looked amazing. Service was wonderful. Finlay, our server, was very polite, professional and calm when taking our order - there were 9 of us and we kept talking over one another and interjecting. He stayed very calm and repeated the order back at the end. His return to the table with food was prompt and he knew, mostly, who had ordered what and took a second drinks order in good time. A great night had would very much recommend again.

What an absolutely amazing lunch we had with you today the kids had an amazing time with Santa, chippy, elf and the Grinch. The kids have been beaming (and me😁) so I thought I’d Share so pics with you. Thanks for an amazing time 😀

Eating out is hard when your doing carnivore diet but I think I found my new favourite place!!

We had a work Christmas lunch. We pre-ordered our food & it was out on the table minutes after we arrived. The food was delicious. The service was excellent.

Great service from Alanna and great food. Will definitely go again.

Popped in for lunch we had the chicken sharing platter as a meal and it was absolutely beautiful well cooked and well presented. Our table waiter Jake was also really nice. Would definitely recommend to others.

The food and service were both excellent! The best pub around!

We visited Seven Wells on Nov 18th to have lunch from the Festive Menu, which we had pre-booked. Our server Helena was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our food, included turkey dinner, beyond burger and turkey and ham pie and was delicious. The triple chocolate brownie for dessert was heavenly! We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience with excellent service snd tasty food. We will keep returning to Seven Wells for sure.

Lovely place for food and drinks, the staff are all lovely and there is a great menu with lots of choices for everyone

Chose a carvery. Yorkshire pudding was so burnt it was like charcoal. Can’t understand why they would put them on the plate and think it was acceptable! Carrots were so floppy. Not a lot on the plate at all and certainly not worth the price they were asking.

What a brilliant idea pop your self down seven wells etwall charity Xmas tree were you can buy a gift for a young child for Xmas well done to Sara and team

Had a lovely evening , good great , quick service . Helena was smiley & friendly . Thank you

Standard everything no problems service a bit slow but generally clean all you expect with pub grub

Hosted my Dads 60th here in the small private section, the staff here were lovely, friendly and accomodating throughout and made the experience stress free! Turned out to be beautiful celebration, highly recommended! Thank you all so much!

Service fantastic Chelsea always gets our order right

Me and my partner have only been here a handful of times. It’s always been pretty decent until Sunday just gone. We got seated in an area that was quite cold. So we asked to move to a booth. Our drinks order got taken to our previous table. Within 25-30 minutes later our ordered was still not taken. A hour later the food was hideous how they even served it to us was beyond us. Starters was well over done certainly won’t be attending again. Unfortunately.

Dropped in to have a lunch to celibrate our wedding anniversary, we both decided to have a Sunday roast, meal arrived and looked very nice, but veg was cold, yorkshire pudding was cold and so was the meat, Pork and Turkey roasts. The meal description stated there would be sausage meat stuffing on the plate this was missing, it also stated the the greens would be buttered and the roast carrots would be maplle flavoured not sure about either of these statements. My Turkey had a strange BBQ or smoked taste, did not like this. Waitress asked us if we wanted any sauces, I asked for Cranberry this never arrived. Surely there are temperatures that food should be 'held' at and served at? No staff came over to us at any point and asked 'how are your meals' so decided to post this review.

Staff friendly but we experienced a very slow wait for our meals. We got served our meals after others had arrived and ordered after us. When it arrived we found the food average. My daughter's garlic bread was burnt, Good gluten free options but found the food average at best. I had the chicken burger, chips were rock hard and coleslaw didn't taste nice. Fortunately kids are free due to half term deal so was a cheap meal but I feel we paid for what we got. Wouldn't go back unfortunately.

Just had two Sunday roasts, one Turkey one Pork, meals looked nice, but veg was cold and so was the Yorkshire pudding, says buttered greens, questionable if they have seen any butter, no sausage meat stuffing, meat warm. Waitress asked if we would like any sauces I asked for Cranberry, she never came back to us. My Turkey had a smoked or BBQ taste. Yes we did eat most of it, no one came and asked 'how are you meals' so posting coments here.

Looks nice and lovely outdoor space. Beer was good. Would go back

I like seven wells, family atmosphere, staff are nice and friendly, food is good quality.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. We took advantage of a burger and beer offer for £12 which was amazing value for money. The food came in great time, was all hot and tasted great. We will be going back again soon to try out the rest of the menu.

The stench of urine from the men’s urinals was so overpowering and even noticeable in the restaurant itself. It does question the pubs cleanliness.

Brilliant food, drinks and service. A regular place for our crew. Friendly staff too.

Our go to pub. Offering good food at a good price. Eating out now days is expensive, however, this is an easy decision. Whether it's burgers, or grill, we always enjoy our meal here and the service is as great as the food.

Very polite and friendly staff Sarah,cody and Jake. I love drinking in this pub it is just nice and relaxing I would recommend this pub to everyone

Very good, the baroness had 2 pints.

Alanna the waitress was fantastic brought food out fast and well and we were served really fast exactly what we’re looking for

Service was really quick. Server was Helena who is really friendly and happy to help. We had the mixed grill and chicken. fajitas. Hit the spot.

Great service from Freddie who helped my girlfriend with her choice of drink as she didn’t know what to get and he recommended the perfect drink for her. Great experience all round will definitely be going back!

Sarah and fran are amazing, great customer service and very welcoming

Don't go anymore drinks are expensive plus the food is not great the staff are great.

It’s a Monday night so the place was very quiet so it’s unfair to say no atmosphere, the services was a little slow but ok. The food was good pub food. However they have a deal 2 meals and 2 drinks for £20. I thought great just what we need, catching up with an old friend. I ordered everything and the bill came to £39 . I questioned it and was told because the one pint wasn’t on the list I couldn’t have the deal and food would be full price. So I added another pint from the list and said throw in down the drain and now my bill was £26. Absolute madness .

Nice pub / restaurant. It's a little out the way, so expect a drive to it. Responsible driving of cause. We've had good food and service whether we've sat in the bar or restaurant..

We booked a meal for my dad's birthday and as there was 20 of us we were asked to order the food beforehand. When we arrived they showed us to a room away from the main pub, which was great until we realised there were steps up to it and my brother is in a wheelchair, so we had to lift him in. There were multiple tables seating approx 4 at each. We had to move all the tables to make one large one so we could eat together. My meal arrived incorrectly. I ordered a Signature Beyond Burger and got a Vegan Burger. Not a great evening but will give it another go as a smaller booking. Maybe the size of our party overwhelmed them.

Lovely experience here at the seven wells today. The staff were attentive and couldn’t do more if they tried. Will recommend to my friends and family. Reasonably priced for good quality food.

Well that's a first: Ate our meal with a Rentokill trap at our feet! ( Only spotted as my wife picked up her bag as we left) Handed filthy sticky menus by a mute girl on arrival, at which point we should have left. The best choices on the menu are not available at the weekend, so quite limited choice but the meal we settled on was ok. We of course won't be returning due to the huge hygiene shortcomings.

Food was spot on, plenty of variety 😋

Great people and good quality food.

Excellent food and service! James was fantastic!

Nice pub friendly staff, that food was good. We both enjoyed our starters and mains.

The Bartender Jake was really attentive and amazing all night! Will definitely be back soon

Great food as always, fantastic service from Jake too!

Very good meals and the staff are brilliant. Chicken Tikka banquet is an excellent meal. Katsu Chicken. Wow. Lovely taste and the Chicken Fajitas are worth a try UPDATE. New menu's are now out. Not as good I'm sorry to say which is a shame. No Chicken Tikka or Fajitas on a Sunday menu which is a shame.Not the staff's fault but when a child's roast us bigger than the Skewers off the main Sunday menu for an adult main course meal. Menu picture shows two skewers but only one was on the plate. I will be on the Greene King website complaining. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT !!!!!!!! Another update. New menu's are available and the roast dinners now don't have mashed potatoes just roast and veg. How sad that a roast dinner that doesn't have mashed potatoes. New update. 9.7.23 unfortunately cooking standards are slipping a little. I'm wondering if the cooking staff are still happy when they're cooking. Newer update 1.9.24. I don't know what is happening at the Seven Wells. Half of the menu is unavailable. No Chicken Fajitas or chicken burgers plus other chicken dishes. Waited over an hour for a pudding and the table to be cleared.

Beautiful food, wonderful service and staff that really care! Great place for any occasion. We visit weekly with two young children. Thanks for all the fab food, see you again soon!

We love coming here for food one of our favourite places to come for a meal with family, great atmosphere, great staff and great food what more could you ask for. This place can get busy we have seen it at it's busiest and yet the staff are still smiling away and happy to help, my young children always ask if James is working as they love him and we do to he's always smiling and singing away to himself he's such a big credit to your team he's one of the reasons we keep returning, The meals are always spot on and come out the kitchen within a good time frame my personal favourite is the katsu chicken absolutely delicious, we want to say thank you team Wells keep up the fantastic work

Great service. Visited this afternoon for a quick drink with my partner. We were served James and Fran at the bar. Staff are always friendly and approachable. Highly recommended, if you’re visiting for a meal or just stopping by for a quick pint.

We came a couple of weeks back and had missed this offer so tried again, we mixed the honey chicken burger and the ultimate. Fantastic value for money and a really friendly team, very busy so glad I had booked. Sarah looked after us very friendly and helpful

Popped in tonight for a few drinks with my friend, lovely welcoming staff and just a nice friendly place! Was served by a lady called Fran behind the bar, we will be back again!

Absolutely fab! The Wells is a go to for us and never disappoints. We came in for the buy one get one free burger deal which is great value. Helena and Chelsea served us and were both really attentive and lovely. Jake on bar was great too - great pints! Thank you everyone!

Nicely decorated and clean, good range on the menu and multiple drink options. Wouldn't recommend the food, fish was mostly batter and had to be replaced, fajitas were burnt, sauce was missing from burgers, and one of the starters was missed off. However the staff dealt with it really well.

Can't complain about the service but the food is always mediocre The pub itself seems dull and dark and could do with a makeover using brighter colours I would use the pub again but it's not at the top of my list.

Great food and service. I ordered a mixed grill that was cooked to perfection and my friend ordered a steak that he said was gorgeous. For desert I had the sharing cookie as it didn’t come as a solo desert option hence only four stars but I still managed to eat it all. Overall I had a lovely first experience here and would definitely go back again. Thanks to our server James and all staff x
