Sitwell Arms in North East Derbyshire

Called in here Sunday lunchtime. Our daughter's local so we called out of curiosity. It was cold and dark. No atmosphere. Only two others in, until some bikers came to play snooker when they put more lights on. Asked for white wine. They only had one which was awful. Gave me a bad head. Disappointing for a village pub on Sunday lunchtime. One medium glass white wine and a gin and tonic was over £12. I believe they had a restaurant but it didn't seem busy and we did not eat

Lovely pub, with great camping. Proper Job on tap 😀

A wonderful place with lovely owners! Food was amazing and we loved the bands! We stopped over camping and breakfast next day was fabulous!

Good children's playground, dog friendly and the food was really good with generous portions and home made.. we will be back if visiting the area

I think this pub deserves some serious consideration when writing a review. I’m not sure how old this pub is but I’m guessing it’s almost a landmark to look at it from the outside. It’s busy at the weekend and if you drove past you would think it was a Peak District pub. Then comes the couple employed to keep the pub… I’m not exaggerating when I say they’re the strangest people I’ve ever come across when it comes to pub landlords. I get a feeling like they would rather drop you down a hole than see your face at the bar. It’s very unusual to find such a lovely pub being run by people that literally look like they could do with running through a sheep dip. There’s an awful clicky vibe to this place and the owners look like they’d be more interested in looking after they’re regulars than welcoming newcomers. Avoid at all cost, wait until this pub changes hands and hopefully at long last becomes somewhere warm and inviting

Very nice and cosy small town pub good food and drinks lovely gardens with play frame for kids with disabled access

Skittles night good pint great pizza good atmosphere nice pub 👍

It was very pleasant to visit this place.

Very friendly, very local. Glad they turned the pool table light on for us after asking!

Called in here for a drink first time we have called in the staff and locals were very friendly and chatty nice little pub 👍

No lunchtime food, only nuts.Would be nice to have a cheese cob! Nice beer and friendly staff

Went for a funeral so don't know much about the place.

Fabulous breakfast! Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavours were good. Great value *****

I've only recently started visiting this pub with family very good service good pub grub . Excellent out door area with nice surroundings and really nice play area for children . In fact my granddaughter Amber 2 years old as started asking can we go to the pub 😀 . And I'm looking forward to my next visit really enjoy it

Wonderful stop off on the edge of Derbyshire. Great food and great hosts. Fully recommend 😊

Love it here. Friendly place, good beer and pork pies. And they do breakfast at weekends.

A quaint place serving a decent meal at a decent price. Friendly staff, dog friendly. Off the beaten track, but worth seeking out.

Lovely people who run it. Nothing is to much trouble for them.

Called in for a pint early. Interesting choice of music, looked like it wasn’t really meant to be open. I wouldn’t rush back!

Horrible pub owners don't seem to of had a wash

Very nice food and friendly staff. It is a little bit hidden from the road and you don't see it until you get right near it. I would go again.

Amazing garden, lots of space. The did choices were very limited - no vegetables at all but there was a vegan burger option! The staff were all v helpful also.

Fantastic people and a great pub, huge beer garden and top quality food, what more do you need

Mal & Jean lovely couple, from the min we arrived we were made to feel welcome from the hospitality to the food was excellent, the camp site was compact, clean & level, toilets & shower block was also clean. It's not often you meet a genuine hard working couple on these camp sites would defo recommend the stay, everything was perfect.

Just had our first night out in our roof tent. We couldn't have picked a better location. Mal & Jean are very welcoming and couldnt be any nicer. The wet rooms/toilets are spotless. The basket meals are a blast from the past, very tasty and value for money. Just as breakfast was. Definitely deserve 5*. Also had live music. Will be back soon

Fantastic little country pub, the couple that run the pub are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. The food is delicious, the service is amazing. Large outdoor area with camping spaces, hard standing for campers as well as grass for tents, very clean outdoor toilet and shower block with access for campers 24/7. Thanks for having us, everything you could want, We will definitely be returning.

Spent one night camping here. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating, we will definitely go back.

Amazing pub run by amazing people! The beer garden is large and relaxing and it's overall a great experience.

What a great pub our band, kick n rush played there last Saturday. Lovely people good beer and they're having live music! Plus they do cameping in there lovely garden. What's not to love

Great pub, great people - beers good too 👍

Lovely staff made us feel very welcome

This is an excellent country stone built pub with character from the mid 19th century . The hosts are very welcoming. There is a limited real ale choice but we had London Pride which was in good condition. There is a massive play ground at the side of the pub. There is an interesting display of old photos in the bar which include some from the coal mine which existed from 1865 to 1965. Whilst you visit take time to have a look around some of the old buildings at the top of the village. The village, Morton, is about 4 mile north of Alfreton just off the A61.

Brilliant service and food as always.

Good groups on Saturdays when advertised

A warm welcome awaited us at the Sitwell Arms. Spending time in the local area, visiting family, and out for a drive this evening, we were drawn in for refreshment, and were not disappointed. A lovely atmosphere, and still a feel of the old days about it. Only stayed for a quick pint this time, but we guarantee will will return.

Went there last night....nice surprise. Warm friendly atmosphere, great beer and live music from a great band called 'Uncle Salty'. Thoroughly recommend.. 👍👍

Lovely people, great welcome. Stayed the night in the camper and woke to a lovely cooked breakfast.

Lovely pub, nice easy food options. Reasonably priced

A good pub with helpful & friendly staff.

A great venue and great welcome. Been before and will be back any time I am in the area for camping, food, music and a good pint of ale.

Great stay at the Sitwell Arms. The owners can't do enough for the guests and the facilities are perfect.

Really friendly staff and great service and good section of beers look forward to visiting again soon

Lovely spot. Really nice people Jean and Mel. The toilets and shower were really well kept. Thank you for having us :)

Lovely pub, very clean. Camping plots at the rear of the pub. Kids play area. Large beer garden. Pool table.

Lovely folk,very welcoming.defo be back 👍😎👍

Very welcoming, nice quiet location and everyone's very friendly. Would recommend

What a lovely place, Mal, Jean and staff are so very welcoming and go above and beyond. The location is a perfect base for sight seeing. Food was very nice, great selection of drinks We shall return

Great atmosphere good cheap fast food, staff service 100%

Just returned home after a fantastic weekend camping at The Sitwell Arms. Mal & Jean and all their staff are absolutely fantastic, they cannot do enough to make your experience second to none. We WILL definitely be returning here. When we couldn't be bothered to cook we ordered off the menu, it's simple food that is simply delicious. Fantastic weekend. Thank you. Paul & Clare

Very welcoming staff. Nice friendly environment. And they even took our order for food even though it was after serving time. Great place

Super place, good food, great camping and incredibly welcoming staff and owners. Will definitely be back 😍

What a great find. Really great people. Great food at reasonable prices. The owners can't do enough for you really going the extra mile. This is in my faves list now 🙂

Used to be a gd little pub, its turned into just a run of the mill place now...the character has been lost along with the atmosphere, trying to be something its not has ruined it

Lovely hosts. Great tasting food. Relaxed atmosphere. Very nice pitches for campers. Good for walking/cycling breaks.

Great pub, lovely staff & you can camp in the huge beer garden. We are still here.

Great spot owners very friendly and helpful, definitely be back next summer.

Fab four nights camping at the Sitwell Arms. Friendly welcome and great breakfast. Staff bent over backwards to make sure our stay was easy and fun. Good walks nearby and enjoyed sampling some local beers in the lovely garden. Ideal location to see the gems in the Peak District. We will be back.

Great pub lovely garden. We camped there for 4 nights.The new landlord and landlady were very friendly and accommodating. Great breakfast served in the mornings and reasonably priced. Would definitely revisit.

Visited1st time today. Friendly staff. Sunday dinner lovely. Will visit again.

Lovely lunch, friendly helpful staff, we will definitely go back,

This pub is very friendly and will visit again.

Great pubstop. 5 pitches on grass behind pub, looking into cricket pitch. Nice beer garden. £12/night. Water available. Nice friendly landlord. No evening meals now but great breakfast menu. Quiz night on Thursday great fun. However he is closing the pub in October and hoping to sell it. Shame. However I would just give them a phone before you turn up to make sure

Lovely little pub. Nice local, and very friendly staff and regulars

It's a good spacious garden around the pub with free roaming chickens and a shop that sells general products as well as hot food throughout the week Sunday's are debatable. Inside the pub it is quite dark and dingy and the parts that we saw somewhat cramped full stop so unless you like a cosy atmosphere it's better to be outside in the grounds on a warm summer's day. I personally will not be ordering food from this place as last time I tried they told me they stop serving food at 3 p.m. . It was 2:55 when they stated this suggesting that they actually stop serving before 3 p.m. The drinks were reasonably priced and the chickens made great company. If you take kids there is a climbing frame with swings for them to play on if they are too keen on playing with chickens.

Great friendly pub.The locals made us very welcome! We had an evening meal, camped on the field and breakfast. Would definitely come back.

Excellent fish and chips and great atmosphere

Lovely Pub and Staff. Good quality, home cooked food with generous portions and reasonable prices. Mothers Day Menu was lovely 😊

Great find lovely warm hosts and excellent food. Even has a little shop selling fresh produce Sent Really enjoyed my visit. And. The chickens just. Wander. Free . Smashing. Couldn't. Ask for. Better.

Amazing breakfast. Excellent value for money

Great new menu at the Sitwell Arms. We enjoyed a fantastic 3 course meal, beautifully cooked and at a reasonable price. The Sitwell Arms is friendly and clean and we were made to feel at home by the staff. Thanks.

Good 'local' pub. Stayed with friends and frequented it - homely atmosphere, friendly and good home cooked food.

Nice meals nice prices .go every week.

super food and service. pleasant atmosphere . Recommend.

Very nice pub with amazing food. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Had a delicious breakfast today. Staff lovely and helpful. Highly recommend 😊👍

Both bar men never spoke back to me after i spoke to them ovesley there's a problem

Been for Christmas meal at the sitwell, food absolutley beautiful. Warm friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Just had our Christmas meal at the Sitwell. The food was absolutely delicious - fresh/home cooked. All of the staff were warm & friendly. Lovely atmosphere!

An amazing village pub full of the most friendly people. Russ and Paul can’t do enough to help making a visit to this pub an excellent drinking and dinning experience. Have had bar snacks, celebration meals and even had family gatherings catered for and can not fault anything. The food is beautifully presented even food on a Thursday after the quiz (which is complimentary) is top quality. The pub is tastefully decorated and is spotlessly clean. Have visited numerous times and have never found anything to grumble about. This pub is truely at the heart of the village. A very warm welcome for everyone young old and furry.

Just been for our Christmas meal and they have excelled themselves yet again. The food is amazing, cooked fresh to order and prepared with good quality produce. The place is spotless and today it looked beautiful with all the xmas decorations. The staff are friendly and more than helpful, they could not do enough to help us. As for the review I just read (indra wolf) I think you must have been to a completely different place or left a review on the wrong page. This is one of many times I have been for food and for drinks, i come with family, friends and also my children and we can never fault the place or the people. Not a single complaint whatsoever.....we will definately return as will all of our party.

Excellent family pub. The food is very nice and the portions are good. The staff are polite and always make you feel very welcome. The grounds are nice and there are ducks and chickens in the back yard and there is also a nice little shop in the carpark. The pub is always very clean and well kept and has a nice cosy atmosphere. Gets my recommendation every time.

The food tasted terrible, the presentation of the food wasn’t to my standard, the pint glasses were filthy, the cutlary, tables, chairs sauce sachets and pretty much everything else were coated in grease. Yes, I have higher standards than the people who live around there but i wouldn’t allow my dog to eat anything off of those plates let alone myself. Sorry if I have offended anyone but I felt it necessary to give my opinions.

V warm. Lovely Sunday lunch. Nice gardens with chickens ducks and rabbits x

Great place for a pint and a chat

We visited on Halloween weekend to a warm welcome with good food and entertainment from friendly staff and clientele. We had a great night eating, drinking, dancing to the themed disco and generally being merry. We'll be going again, you should too

Homely little pub with lovely staff

Great food and authentic atmosphere

Nice Sunday roast great staff and service

great food and great staff and great atmosphere

Very tired pub, needs a huge face-lift inside and out. Only had drinks so can't comment on food

Went with my Mum and my partner, Jim. We loved it and would go again. My Mum is very fussy and usually only likes 1 thing on menu...but here, there was plenty of different things on menu that she liked, things u dont c in other restauraunts we've been to, therefore we all want to go back to try them.

really friendly great amenities and food. we parked our camper in the carpark

Fantastic food in excellent setting. Guest beers too.

Don't take children here and buy them the little plastic bottles of pop, you'll need a second mortgage.

Fantastic home cooked food, massive beer garden and patios front and back. Allow dogs and kids-must be supervised!

No idea what it wants to be or not. Understand new development in pipeline.

A lovely English Pub with huge meals, friendly staff and patrons.
