Standing Order in Derby

Amazing meals anytime, any day, very busy but a lovely environment.

A splendid JDW. Worth a visit for the ceiling alone! Amazing choice of beers. Very efficient and professional staff who despite it being busy, still find the time to be pleasant and helpful. As the designated driver I was given a full run down of zero alcohol drinks available. Would definitely recommend and return.

Beware of the woman with black hair, huge lips & crazy drawn on eyebrows… she is rude… she sings all over your plated food when bringing it to your table, then proceeds to tell you & others “beware, I would only ever eat 3 meals off the menu!”

Food came out cold and slowly. It's not a good spoons

The food is always cold - at best tepid. The barstaff are always rude. Ths collection trolley is always in the room with smelly leftover food and dirty plates for all to see. Would it be so hard to bring the collection trolley round - fill it up and take if back into the kitchen and unload and leave it there. It's not rocket science it make the room comfortable for customers but obviously the staff don't give a damn.

It's a sound doing what spoons does best

Nice restaurant, food was good and came quickly. Good for a weather spoons. The staff where quite grumpy though but overall a good place

It's a Wetherspoons, it is what it says it is.

All jds are cheap and cheerful, but you for what you get, not that clean and the food is average, but if you're on a budget, then I guess it's bareable

Didn't order food so gave it a 3 star rating so its overall ranking wouldn't go down. Conveniently located to Derby's main shopping centre, very spacious inside. Friendly staff. Recommend.

I always come here for drinks and food.

Always busy ..but grateful got too sit and eat .. very lovely building..look up when u visit .. cheap and quick food as always 😋

Very disappointed with standing order, we were a party of four with one needed to have a Gluten free lunch, however after looking at the lunch menu we couldn't see any gluten free meals so we approach the staff at the bar and was informed that they do do Gluten free meals but are not allowed to advertised the GF symbol on menu!! So When I asked what meals that is gluten free they still wouldn't tell me, When I mentioned that it is a legal requirement to mentioned on menu any allergy meals otherwise they could be sued if anybody ordered anything that didn't suit them!!! The staff are unbelievable I don't think they realise the gravity of the situation!! Beware people don't go if you have an food allergy!! Anyway went opposite to slug and lettuce and they accommodated us with the right food!!

Good traditional breakfast. Excellent service.

Might be cheap but manners are free and the staff in last night around 1745 were downright rude.. The chap next to me gave up waiting and left. I went was at one end and went down to the other end and asked if anyone was going to serve and was told that they were on their own. When another young lady started serving she served the people at the other end of the bar as well. I asked again and was told I’d get served when it was my turn. It was my turn over 10minut3s ago. Eventually got served about 5 minutes later. Just to compound things when I went to get another round the person who served me waited until I was at the bar and just turned away. We left without ordering and won’t be back.

Lovely lunch sat in the sunshine to tje rear of the bar area .

Great food and drinks at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and large seating areas. We went after another pub nearby and the bar bill was half the price. The food was great which included a drink which is great value for money. The Standing Order is a JD Wetherspoon pub located at 28-32 Iron Gate, Derby, DE1 3GL. It offers a variety of real ales, craft beers, and freshly ground Lavazza coffee. The pub serves breakfast until noon and the full food menu is available until 11 pm. This venue, which was once the Crompton & Evans Union Bank and later a NatWest branch, has a rich history and now provides a welcoming atmosphere for its patrons.

Fabulous wetherspoons in centre of derby

Consistent quality food, always hot and served quickly.

Had a standard breakfast here and a mug of coffee - just the job after a fun night out! 👍

Lots of beer choices. Food arrived quickly. Staff friendly.

The staff were so rude & horrible. They accused us of stealing when we ordered on the app and had not received the drink for over 20 minutes when was not busy. We asked where it was got told we received and that we were stealing, told them to check there cameras and that where are glasses then, I eventually had to go to the bar & I asked to speak a manager and the lady who I think is the manger laughed in my face and said what are you going to do? She was so rude and horrible. The staff were bullies, rude to the floor staff and they made us feel so uncomfortable staring and laughing at a couple having drinks. I would like to take this further with the company.

It’s a spoons, pretty standard, although the interior is very posh, apparently used to be a bank. Service is quick unless it’s peak times. Stands no worse than any other spoons just slightly fancier.

Nice building and clearly popular

Absolutely appalling service and a very bad atmosphere

Standard Wetherspoons but at beer festival time serves all 30 beers

Quite busy always but worth the visit🥰

Good spoons food always decent can be a wait to get served as its a busy pub.

Normal Spoons fare. Must be one of the largest and sprawls out. Toilets as normal upstairs so plan ahead. Food served up quickly and hot.

Only had a beer which was very good and inexpensive. Rather grand building with a pleasant ambience 👍

Magnificent old bank .a must visit if your a spoons fan & ever in derby

Had a quick coffee. Can't think of anything that would take a star off with relation to it's nature. Done the job.

Hot chips today (though 'requested...')

Poor food, very poor service, atrocious

You know what you're getting, same as any other spoons

Went for a brecky earlier today and half way through my meal I went to get another coffee and me meal was gone when I got back to me table , the lady apologised ordered me another meal but never arrived 😩

So I had a traditional breakfast, I didn’t realise this is now £5, and was really disappointed. Egg was burnt on the bottom, sausage overcooked, toast limp and L lukewarm, beans, bacon and hash browns were ok. It just felt like it had been sat on the side for a while and then sent out when someone ordered one. A real shame as I had a nice one at The Babbington Arms last week, and it was £3.69.

Large and airy ex bank Spoons with great 20+ ales selection plus even more at the twice yearly ale festivals. Food offerings from the ever growing menu are good quality but the breakfasts are often not warm enough by the time they arrive which is disappointing for what seems an efficiently run food and drink outlet.

Good beers, nice prices.... and you can hear yourself think. It still has a great atmospher but unfortunately, since my last review, Spoons has become rather hit & miss with their food. Today I had a perfectly nice Pizza but my wife's serving of Boneless Chicken was lukewarm, as were the underdone chips. If this had been my first visit to the Standing Order today, it might well have been my last.

Impressive building and plenty of seats. App service is a little slow but not bad. As always, prices were good.

The Sticky Korean fried chicken bowl at Derby was disappointing compared to the wheatsheaf Cheadle staffs and the briar rose Birmingham. The dish lacked the sticky sauce, making it dry. The loaded chips, which were good at Blackpool, however they skimped on cheese and bacon at Derby. It seemed like they were cutting back on ingredients to save money.

Great place for delicious food and drinks. Brilliant service and atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

Most probably the rudest wetherspoons I've visited. If you are not local you will not be served and left standing at the bar. We were asked to move because someone else wanted to move there table to make more room for them.

We had a breakfast at Standing Order in Derby in Sunday. Was lovely and for the price couldn't grumble at all. Plate was hot, all the food was hot. Free refills for hot drinks as well. We had a few hot chocolates.

Beautiful pub brilliantly restored

Busy,bustling city centre pub. Typical Spoons good value and service.

Lovely fish and chips, with a glass of wine on the weekday offer..... Great value

Delightful late breakfast free 2d3rd cups of coffee .fair parking

First visit on 6th November. Really big pub with high ceilings as it used to be a bank. Plenty of space and light. It's a Wetherspoon pub so you know what you're getting.

Well the events and delivery tonight were dreadful the poorest visit since I’ve been going. Bar staff limited to three serving! Serving Abbott Ale served and so cloudy rejected, Doom Bar was rejected on the same basis. Was offered Darnell’s xyz which took ages to remotely clear. Somewhere there was a 6/10 pint of Pedigree. The double American burger and chips!! The chips were 6/10 the bun 4/10, the burgers 6/10! The filling looked like it had been scooped up from ???? If the regional manager/inspector had been there they’d have been distraught at tonight’s performance and delivery. Forgot tell to say the bar need to be taught to smile and id they do t want to, they are in the wrong job.

Was okay. One of my drinks had floaters in it. Ordered another drink and the guy walked off and served someone else so not great.

Good breakfast venue - nice for a spoons but as usual the toilets are located in a nearby town accessed via a circuitous route

I had a coffee, which is refillable, and scrambled eggs on toast... Nothing special, but reasonable price, as are all JDs. Lovely big charactful building.

Cheap beer! The food is genuinely alright as well and very affordable. It's a Wetherspoon, what do you expect?

Decent wetherspoons! Great menu

Meet friends there sometimes,food is acceptable but average. Like refill hot drink option. Able to sit all day if you want. Good place to chat to friends without feeling you have only time to eat and drink and are expected to leave

Excellent choice for real ales and beers food always good value and friendly atmosphere a mixture of young and older people would highly recommend visiting day or night 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Old banking hall Amazing decorations Food and drink are great prices

It's a big comfy well run Spoons, just what we needed. Came for a rest, some coffee and lunch.

Good service on food and drinks Pleasant enough spoon's

Good wetherspoons in an old bank

Typical Wethersoons pub, good food for relatively little money.

Wetherspoon has some beautiful buildings. Very busy due to the festive season. Need tandoori skewers we're great.

Fantastic. Everything you want and friendly staff.

A British institution. Always great value.

come into today , a group of 4 just looking for some food. we orderd 2 American burgers, 1 mixed grill and 1 gourmet 8oz serlion steak. the steak was orderd as rear and came beyond well done and burnt …. Chips were frozen in the middle and peppercorn sauce had been left that long there was a film over the top. Both American burgers were enough to fill a 3 year old… absolutely tiny, and again frozen chips. the mixed grill was beyond not what we orderd… gammon was rock solid… steak was well done, chewy and burnt. pork loin was pink all the way thru and even the sausages were under cooked… and again with a side of frozen chips. £52 for all including 4 soft drinks… absolute waste of money. The service was brilliant but dosnt excuse the fact the food was infact awfull. we come here a lot for drinks and thought this time we would have food and will never do it again.

I had just one pint, and it was good. It is known by good prices so it is worth visiting. Place is also very beautiful inside as is was formerly a bank.

Ive had food from here twice. It's cheap & cheerful. Just one or two bar staff who seem a bit offish. The place is busy.

I love this spoons especially as they serve my favourite Blue Moon. However there is one female member of staff that is extremely rude. When ordering via the app I made a simple mistake and ordered the drink next to Blue moon without realising. When she brought it across I questioned it but owned up to my mistake as it was on my receipt and I like the drink anyway but her attitude was so arrogant I wanted to give her a Leffe shampoo.

Called in yesterday for lunch, it was very busy! After asking about the long queue, an employee called Amy said I'd be quicker ordering on the app, which she then proceeded, with GREAT patience, to show me how to install and order on it. We had a small pizza, bowl of chips and ramen noodles. My daughter said the pizza was lovely, very cheesy, the chips were crispy and fluffy, and the ramen noodles were some of the best I've had! A beautiful building, well laid out and tasteful. I'd definitely go back.

Burger and soft drink for 2. It was 'spoons fine. About £20 all in. Can't complain for the price.

Breakfast and pints were spot on, quick friendly service, decor was nice and tables were clean. Nicer than your average wetherspoons.

Like alott of wetherspoons, cheap and cheerful. Great building. Love the architecture.

Cooked breakfast: Lukewarm reception from staff, bad attitude. Food lukewarm, but just about cooked. First visit & last visit.

Great atmosphere and Wethersoons prices..

Cheap lest beer around but ridiculously busy and food was meh...

Quite a new wetherspoons, fantastic decor with some cool old pics of Derby. Worth a look in. Great selection of real ales at low prices.

Shot was served in a pint glass which was a bit odd!

Went Wednesday evening around 5.30pm admittedly it was busy but - There didn’t appear to be enough staff lots of tables with empty dirty glasses cutlery and crockery also tables needing a wipe and clean. Had the misfortune to eat here, whilst I appreciate its cheap it was horrible. I had ham egg and chips, the eggs were cold and the ham was of the plastic variety to be fair the chips weren’t too bad. I tried ordering through the app but couldn’t get it working properly and timed out when I tried to make payment ended up ordering at the bar. On the plus side the drinks weren’t bad. I suppose the old saying comes into play you get what you pay for.

What a fantastic old building, a lovely place to sit and eat. Busy on a Wednesday, but we managed to find a table. Staff all excellent, with a real buzz. I think she was the duty manager, Becker/Beckie, was really under the cosh, but kept her cool and was super in service. Unfortunately, I'd have to say that she wasn't given the resources to do the job properly. Only one side of the bar was open for orders, so there's an unacceptable wait time to order. Our food did arrive quickly though, well done. Portion sizes at Wetherspoons are ok if your 10 years old, but the quality is very mixed. Standard burger very disappointing, patties made of cold cardboard. No Pedigree available, boo, but Ruddles still on for less than £2, incredible. So, pretty much a typical 'spoons. The building should not raise your expectations.

Its always pleasant here . Its always crowded too so best come to come in between modular meal times to ensure a table.

Well I went to the WC and my drinks were gone one being an unopened can. When I asked the staff they said it's my responsibility to watch my purchased goods. They went on to say that a passer by may have took my drinks so I asked for the CCTV footage but they declined. This place has bad service bad attitude won't be rushing back there .

Excellent place, Excellent prices, decent food, LOUSY SERVICE, I think most of the staff are either on something or just can't be arsed, the service is so sloooooooow, you can be waiting for several minutes or more before they even acknowledge you, some just completely ignore you. Shame really, because it's the best pub in derby.

Didn't realise that derby county were playing at home and the staff were slightly overrun. Long wait to get served which was not ideal having 3 kids with us.

Its a weather's weatherspoons so you get what you expect. Nice food, cheap booze and an ugly carpet. It's a gorgeous building though

It's Weatherspoons, everything as expected, just the staff are rushed off their feet and clearly they need more staff as the wait for drinks can be long

It’s a spoons. Watering hole to the dregs of society. Great value through!

Great Wetherspoons good selection of beers and food good

I used to really enjoy coming to this place. Haven't been for a few years and won't be coming back. Staff are miserable, drinks were flat, rice was aldi special and hard and cold. Chips were cold. Got about 4 tortilla crisps each. Staff asked if meal was OK whilst walking past and not even waiting for response. What a way to spend your birthday. Rather eat jail food

No staff so table service over 30 min plates and glasses piled high on the bar. Pretty poor to say the least

People criticise weatherspoons, but the food and selection of drinks, including cask ales, take some beating. Makes me wonder how they keep the prices so low. 🤔 what also comes to mind is why others are so expensive. My only criticism is. The tables need clearing faster. For the next customers. Other than that, it's all good.

First visit on 6th November. Really big pub with high ceilings as it used to be a bank. Plenty of space and light. It's a Wetherspoon pub so you know what you're getting. Food was good and good local beers

Best witherspoon I've been in for years.

Beautiful building, good prices

REALLY GOOD GO TWICE A WEEK FOR LUNCH GREAT EXPERIENCE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THIS GOVERNMENT'S ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ALL OUR PUBS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT ATTEMPTS TO DESTROY FREE SPEECH (GB NEWS)

My ‘go to’ pub in Derby for when I want to chill with a quiet pint. Staff are efficient (especially with table service) and friendly (shout out to Lucas). Decent WiFi for streaming, and power sockets.

Was very rudely interrupted by the waitress with black hair and glasses on a romantic evening with my partner which we looked forward to all month !!!! Walked in with our food saying ‘Heelllooiooi!???’ To caution us - simply rude and unprofessional!!!!!

We had the traditional breakfast and was hot and tasty and well worth the money

This Wetherspoons pub has got to be the best in the country. The architecture is mind blowing, I believe it’s an old bank hence the name. We were staying in Derby for a few nights this became our go too for drinks and food. The food quality, staff and service was incredible. I’ve never seen the staff work so hard in a spoons… highly recommend this pub. 5* oh ps don’t even try the other one in town it’s shockingly bad.

We've been to A LOT of Wetherspoons around the country - you know what you'll get, nothing fancy but great prices & often a wonderful building. This has to be one of the best "saved old buildings" we've been to. Loved it
