Standing Order in Derby

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

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.

The Sticky Korean fried chicken bowl at Derby was disappointing compared to the wheatsheaf Cheadle staff 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.

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

Beautiful building, good prices

Best witherspoon I've been in for years.

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)

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

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.

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

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!!!!!

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

Excellent prices, lively atmosphere and speedy service

The drinks were cheap and cheerful atmosphere is normal but never really get any bother tbh

Ok but very busy and loud on a Saturday teatime.

Great beer festival nice pizza in real pizza oven

Lovely Spoons to head to if you’re a student, with a vast outside seating area.

As we were in Derby for the night, and only 5 mins away, we had tea in the evening and then breakfast the next day! Both were good and hit the spot. Great selection of beers on offer due to there being a beer festival on. This is a large pub, with high ceilings and great architecture design. There are lots of pictures of Derby in days gone by. One picture that court my eye was one by Terence Cuneo of a loco being wheeled in one of Derby's loco sheds.

Good to pop in for lunch and order on the app for quick service

A Wetherspoons pub is a Wetherspoons pub. Drinks a lot cheaper than anywhere else, food is good enough and staff are generally helpful.

Hopeless service ,took 40 minutes for my drink and had to fetch it myself.Glasses everywhere and a lack of table cleaning.

Very nice Witherspoon's, good service in a lovely building.

Didn't have food, just ordered a lot of drinks. This was a very nice spoons! I recommend!

Probably one of the best Whetherspoons I've been to!

Full of drunken, unfriendly and unpleasant civilians of all ages. Staff ID’d me when I look at least 23 (I am 30). Bouncers didn’t seem to care less when a bar brawl broke out. Scary for my wife. To top it off food was cold and drinks were average. Should have stayed at home. Will be going Mansfield next time.

Whilst no doubting its cheap, the standard of breakfast has fell off fast. Tasteless, cold and with something masquerading as a paid for extra scrambled egg. Is it wrong to want an actual egg scrambling sooner than whatever that was? We have eaten brekky here before loads of times and its been fine, this was just rubbish. The coffee wasnt much better

Decent spoons for an away supporter at pride park

Quality beers great choice and price. Nottingham Porter 5.2 excellent quality. Highly Recommended

Lively , lovely building and space , huge , good table service . Nothing not to like.

Visited on a Friday night, busy and lively place with a great atmosphere. Tried a number of the cask ales, with the wife opting for Coors, all good. We had a couple of wraps and fries, no complaints

Devent spoons, large size and good customer service.

The Standing Order is a large impressive wetherspoons in an ornate former bank. There is a very wide range of beers, lager and cider, including six hand-pulled cask conditioned real ales at very cheap prices. The ones we sampled were in excellent condition. The food is good value, the stakes and gormet burgers are excellent. The pub is listed in the camra good beer guide.

At the end of the day it's a spoons, decent ales and lagers at decent prices..

Great beer garden and decent affordable prices

Beautiful building that looks like an old Bank , good beer ( but unfortunately not John Smiths) I'm going blind and was world treated bye friendly Derby people, the bar was a Square in the middle of the room, a practice that Witherspoon's use a lot, lovely pub!

The customer service and atmosphere was good. The food was awful can't ate it. Overcooked and chewy.

Abby one of the bar staff, Was so rude obnoxious young lady(girl) Needs some training on customer service

Great place to go for food. Love the look and there are plenty of seats and the pictures on the wall are so interesting Would be good for when it's winter to have more shelter outside love listening to rain but not be soacked whilst having a drink

Drinks are cheap food is nice just need more bar stuff

Great place for an excellent meal and leisure time. Very friendly staff and service. Highly recommended.

Korean fried chicken wrap. Stone cold. In a cardboard like wrap. We don't often eat at Wetherspoons and yes they are cheap, and this has reinforced why. Will not bother again

Just stopped for a pint and took ages to get served. Could do with more staff serving at busy lunchtime period.

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

Well, it's a pup and nothing for a dinner date. But if you fancy a beer and a quick bite I can recommend Tuesday's steak deal (sirloin steak and a beer for round about £11). The high ceilings make it not too noisy even on busy nights. And where would you get a beer for £2.60 these days. They even got a patio to sit outside.

Always a fan of Wetherspoon pubs. They rarely disappoint and this one certainly didn't.

Popping into Wetherspoons in Derby can feel a bit like stepping onto a lively carnival ride – it's delightful chaos! The service is so quick it's almost as if they knew what I wanted before I did, with food magically appearing on the table moments after placing the order. There's no shortage of seating, although securing a spot during peak hours can be as tricky as a game of musical chairs without the music. No need to channel your inner Tonali and give them a ring to book a table—this isn't that kind of establishment. Just rock up, find a spot if you can, and enjoy the bustling atmosphere. So, if you're looking for a spot where the food is timely and the space ample (at least most of the time), Wetherspoons is your go-to. Just be prepared for the peak-time squeeze!

The service was not good, there was a leaky glass, and the staff did not take the initiative to make up for it. There was no breakfast available to order at 10 a.m. All are not provided. The pancake is dry, hard and frozen. The charge is over £10. Regret coming to eat.

Beautiful place to visit. Architecture amazing.

Can go wrong we mr spoons value for money all round

Very efficient staff . Food a good price and nice portion size .We will be back

Nice cheap pints.good pub,lovely fry up.

Good service on food and drinks Pleasant enough spoon's

Nice modern interior with fast service and good food

Wow this place so nice the building and atmosphere fantastic. Also as we know the have good offers for a drink. Th8s is the noise place in Derby to have drink. So nice view when you sitting outside

Ideal spot to meet friends, plan the days adventure or just take a break from shopping

I often visit this pub but after this evening I am so disappointed . I have a dairy allergy so ordered the side salad from the menu which is stated to be vegan to ensure that no dairy was in the food. Upon receiving my salad there was a small pot on the side which had some kind of dip in it . After inspection ,myself and other people on my table came to the conclusion that this unknown dip contained dairy . I called over a member of staff to ask about the dip and she said “well it’s not vegan “ and then she walked away . EXCUSE ME ?!! It states on the menu that this is vegan . If it’s not vegan then it should not be stated as vegan as so many people die because of allergies !! It’s 2024 this really needs to be sorted out immediately as this is not acceptable.

Update aug 24 - went last night at approx 1945 for a drink and experienced the worst customer service ever, the guy in the photo served people who came after us and then had the audacity to argue the point with me, he then made a comment to the other barman who chose to be funny with us too. To top it off the Stella was off and tasted terrible, we got them changed but even they were bad. Will be avoiding this place as the customer service is terrible and the Stella not right. Also people singing loudly in there - what a shambles of a place.

What a beautiful building this is,I believe it was a n ex bank,Hats of to wetherspoons you've done an excellent job,really busy,

Very rude member of staff who is very unprofessional. Shes got black hair glasses and big eyebrows. Found her very unwelcoming the past 2 times ive came.

Toilets are disgusting. My husband vgas a stoma he trys to join but 9 time out if te the Toilets upstairs are out so it only leaves the 1 disabled downstairs which everyone uses as no one checks really bad xx

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

Usual Weatherspoones offer in busy pub.

One of the nicest Wetherspoons pubs in the area, with lots of tables to sit at. The service is always really quick and efficient, and the prices aren’t bad either!

Nice pub ..Great atmosphere friendly staff ...food not so good Ordered at bar ..sat down 10 seconds later food put on table ..burger cold ..took away 15 minutes later still no replacement ..called waitress arrived 5 mins later burger cold on the outside but red hot in the middle ..waitress said used thermometer and at temp. Probably was in the middle ...won't eat here again unfortunately 😕

Very spacious Spoon provides some small rooms and also a beer garden. Very good beers and much to choose. Cheap prices.

If you still have a little of self respect, don't get any food from here. Horrible, cold, frozen, testless, clearly old and questionables ingredients.. Especially breakfast!! Stay well away. After some good months, I decided to have a breakfast in town centre and as I was at the Cathedral Quarter, went to the spoons. The only thing I could eat was the egg, everything else was binned. I have learned my lesson. Food here, never ever again. (A drink is still doable when the place is not full of teethless idiots).

Terrific service, staff really keen to reduce waits and to keep everyone fed and watered

Nice pint of San Miguel here for £3.99. Beer garden very nice. The only downside is the bar service, even though it wasn't too busy at the bar, took a while to get served.

Had a great time. Beer was good and cheaper enough. Went it in the garden was a fun time.

Always good, and even better with DBA at £1.49 a pint....

Breakfast DO NOT BUY We both opted for a small traditional breakfast with extra black pudding. It was awful. The food had obviously been left under a heat lamp or hot plate maybe microwaved. The food was not fresh and possibly precooked and heated. Everything about it was dry and hard. Especially the blackpudding it was like a hard disc and I’m sure I could have skimmed it across the room and watch it bounce. I also had to ask for a cleaner cup the one I was first offered had numerous rings around the top. We wont be having breakfast here again thats for sure

A great pub for Derby, atmosphere is great food is nice and its right in heart of city centre. The area is surrounded but lots of other good places and food at this place is great. Very well priced. They have also got open cabins where you can sit and chat.

Great place for food and drink very enjoyable

Meal looked as if thrown on the plate and was lukewarm used to eat regularly here but not any more

Very busy Waited for a while to be served. Great beer as always Worth the wait

Usual wetherspoon drinks food and service. Great beer

We were in Derby for my granddaughters graduation and called in the standing order for food which was delicious and drinks . I was pleasantly surprised to find Crackendale a Thornbridge beer which I had never had before but will be hoping to find again . The staff are really friendly and hard working , unlike at some Spoons as soon as a table is vacated it's cleaned for the next customer .

Probably the best spoons I've ever been in.

Ask a member of staff to clean table he said to me to busy the table was full of glasses and plates of old food terrible customer service.

Had a nice meal order using the app the meal was fairly quick considering how busy it was nice to see a pub busy

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Wetherspoon's The Standing Order in Derby, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Housed in a beautifully restored former bank building on Iron Gate, this pub effortlessly combines historical charm with modern convenience. One of the highlights of my visit was the gourmet sirloin steak. It was cooked to perfection, tender, and bursting with flavour. The fact that such a delicious meal was also incredibly affordable made it even more impressive. The menu offers a variety of options, but the sirloin steak is a must-try. Ordering through the app was a breeze. It made the whole process seamless and efficient, allowing me to sit back and enjoy the splendid atmosphere without any hassle. The app’s user-friendly interface and quick service really enhanced the overall dining experience. The ambience at The Standing Order is truly unique. The interior retains many of the original features of the old bank, providing a historical backdrop that adds a touch of elegance to the casual dining experience. Whether you're there for a meal or just a drink, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Overall, The Standing Order offers a delightful blend of history, great food, and excellent service. It's a gem in Derby that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Great Wetherspoons pub, use to be a bank years ago, the style of this magnificent building has been nicely preserved. Beer excellent, I drink real ale. Tried food here and that’s good too. Price’s brilliant as you’d expect from Wetherspoons. Cleanliness good including the toilets. Staff nice, well recommended 👍

As ever the staff leave trolleys full of dirty plates and stinking food waste in the pub right next to tables where customers have to see and smell them. Who decided this was a good idea

The reason why it is called the standing order I found out as you are always standing and as well the staff are not knowledgeable in their ales and or products.

We went for breakfast yesterday we waited a long time when it arrived it was absolutely dire the bacon well all fat it was nearly cold and we thought they'd counted the beans plus the drinks were nearly cold then you couldn't find anyone to speak too at the time NEVER again.

It's spoons like it's gonna be decent

Cheap and nice place to go with friends, went around lunchtime Friday, bar was pretty busy three women trying to keep up, the young lady (brown ponytail) that served us had to deal with a few negative comments from customers about the speed of service but she stayed happy and speedy and served us quick, managers could definitely do with getting more staff poor girls were all very rushed and flustered, definitely would come again
