Stanhope Arms in Erewash

find the pub dark and cold needs a good clean also Dog walking around sat beginning when you had a bag of nuts not be going here again

there was very little vegetarian choice so I ordered vegetarian Thai green curry. This came in a small bowl and consisted of a large amount of presumably coconut milk with three whole uncooked pak choi leaves, a few shreds of onion and a few pieces of uncooked green pepper. The sauce had no curry taste but a rather unpleasant sour flavour - not edible. I spoke to a member of the staff who claimed that that was how all Thai curry was made - not my past experience - and gave me a spoon. A few tablespoons of rice and 2 pittas - certainly meal did not justify the price. Very disappointed. Will not be eating there again

Pie & Mash and Sausage & Mash were excellent, especially the gravy. Cheesecake was also amazing. Friendly service in a real British pub atmosphere. Just what we wanted 👍

Didn't eat, so I can not comment on the food. The pub itself is very nice with a relaxed atmosphere. Next time I am in the area, I shall return.

Not tried the food but it looks and smell gorgeous. Always busy when I go in.

I visited here for lunch in July & we really Enjoyed Steak/onion Baguette's with chips so much We booked for a weekend visit with friends.I offered Rump steak & Glass of Red .The Red was Undrinkable so I returned it & it was replaced with a fresh glass & apology.Very helpful young man.The Steak ( med/well) was Served undercooked!! Not Impressed .The Chef just did not Deliver.

Just stopped for a drink,and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great meal, served by super friendly staff. The food was very tasty and good value. A great range of beers topped off a lovely dinner on route to Leeds. We would highly recommend the pub.

Friendly little village pub with good food and beer ,nice staff and small outside area ,also dog friendly

Wonderful time had here last night with good friends, staff were very friendly and accommodating, set in a picturesque village ,would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, very welcoming. Highly recommended. Definitely book a table of wanting food

We dined with friends on Saturday night, great atmosphere and lovely food. The Chef kindley made me a mushroom stroganoff instead of beef which was amazing. Table service was excellent, girls friendly and attentive. Deffinetly going to make this our regular get together venue. Thank you

A lovely Sunday lunch, my family. Food was beautiful.

I ordered the Gammon on the sunday lunch menu, and what came out did not ressemble, or taste like your usual gammon cut, but a slice of roast pork. I'd left it as i didnt enjoy my food and approached the staff to ask if I may have been given the wrong order. The response was dismissive, and the owner made a scene in front of other customers for effect. This was not just disappointing but uncalled for, as the manner I'd originally asked the owner in was polite. Ive been a regular customer with no previous issues to the food there, but after today I will not be eating there again. It made me look as though I was lying, and wasn't justified to ask for clarity.

Lovely pub, great food and staff are very accommodating... Will definitely need to come back for the pie night

Nice little village pub, didn't stay for dinner on this occasion but a warm and friendly place to visit, we will return and sample the food soon.

Very friendly and sitting in the garden, in the sun was the icing on the cake

I only visited at lunchtime, but the food was fine and the staff were pleasant. I haven't been here for quite a while but will return.

Beer only this visit so can't score food, but hand pulled beer was excellent, lovely staff, proper pub.

Been coming here for years, food and hospitality has always been good. Menu isn't that big, guest ales on tap. Toilets are immaculate

I come here all the time and the service is always perfect, but when I found out there was a wine tasting evening I immediately booked myself onto it. And all I can say is wow. Absolutely incredible. The tapas & wine experience was absolutely phenomenal. What I found great was the relaxed & fun yet professional atmosphere throughout the evening for example the servers would wait for the sommelier to finish their explanation to bring out the food so the evening flowed naturally. We came as a one off but if the opportunity arises I will come back in a heartbeat! We had a good laugh and really good fun!

Over priced drinks The quiz was good fun however the prizes are a bit ridiculous all you get is a voucher to spend at the bar and not all the money that is taken is given back as a prize! So sadly no longer go Is a little a country pub in a village but food is over rated and over priced too

Best Sunday roast I think I’ve ever had. Great quality and great size portions. Super friendly staff and very reasonable.

Perfect, dog friendly bar, lively and friendly atmosphere. Best steak ever!

Dirty glassware not happy staff...

Very busy, dog friendly, was busy people of all ages , families

Had one if the best cajun chicken burger ive ever had. Nice and relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.. Recommended to friends and family

Honestly, probably the BEST chicken burger in the world, had it maybe 5-6 ti.es always perfect!!!

Lovely traditional pub, great looking food, definitely reserving a table for a meal next time

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Well kept beers and well maintained surroundings. Very friendly owners and staff.

The 3 of us walked in after a fab walk around Dale Abbey. It was fairly busy but was offered a table even though it had a reserved sign. Ordered 2 roast lunches and one of the steak and stilton pies... All was absolutely delicious, especially the pie. Lovely atmosphere and loved the naughty children secret door 🚪👍😅.

Really nice Sunday lunch with nice meat and quick serving times. Lots of nice footpaths nearby and car park is opposite the pub.

Lovely village country pub! Fantastic friendly staff, drinks especially the 'Mojito' are great, food fabulous and home cooked! You won't be disappointed! Keep up the great work guys!

Food was good pub grub. Lovely atmosphere with the carols from the loca church. Friendly service.

Great pub, dog friendly 😁 Lovely food, nice staff and excellent service, gets busy so probably best to book

I don't normally write reviews, however we have visited the Stanhope on various occasions for both food and drinks! I must say 'Will' always greets us with the most warmest smile and kindness. Nothing is ever too much and he always goes the extra mile. We've recently moved from Manchester and tried many local pubs, The Stanhope Arms exceeds all of our expectations! Keep up all the good work guys!

We had the roast dinner, and as always it was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and very helpful, we have been there a few times and the food and atmosphere is always perfic

Probably one of the worst pub lunches we had. Some had the roast which was sparse and the meat looked like it had come from a packet. Lasagne was 90% cheese. Just awful. Don’t eat here!

lovely little village inn with friendly locals.dog friendly.

It's a wonderful setting. It's a listed building thats quaint and quirky. A stunning pub. The beer and cider is always clean and fresh. However be prepared to get lighter if you go on the shelf they are a little above tariff in my opinion. The food is sometimes outstanding, and others times passes. The last time we were there the food was good overall. However both people in our party that ordered beef complained it was stone cold. We have made a few constructive criticism in the past when such things have occurred, as we have eaten here many times. This has never been welcomed, and we have always been made to feel very awkward as if we are at fault. Acquaintances of mine have voiced similarities in their experiences too. In particular my partner loves to go here for sunday roast, and always asks to go there, given the option. However on this occasion, to my surprise even she said this has put her off. The young lady who waited on us was lovely, however she didn't have a clue about the food at all. I asked a few elementary questions that completely baffled her. She disappeared for 10 minutes in the middle of the order only to answer a question I never asked when she returned. Nevertheless the menu is very good quality and value, and the specials are always interesting with plenty of variety. On the occasions I have ordered specials they have always been piping and freshly made. Clean kitchen and toilets is always a must and they always tick those boxes here in my experience. Theres always room for improvement, and with a little effort on the sunday roasts and the service this would be definitely be 10/10 5*. Booking advised at busy periods such as weekend lunchtimes. Well done, keep up the good work!

Great pub. Very friendly and food excellent

This place only has one star ✨ food hygiene certificate wouldn't eat here again

The Sunday lunch was terrific! Great portions, the meat was fantastic, a great choice of sides to accompany the roast, extra gravy as standard. Simply wonderful. Dare I say the best roast I’ve had in a long time…? We shall certainly return.

Absolutely lovely place to eat, had traditional fish and chips, great portion sizes and very nice

Delicious food served with a smile a and great service. Never had a bad meal here and tonight was no different.

Lovely bar, great menu and food. Nice outdoor seating area.

It is one of the better roasts in the area with nice outdoor seating areas. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is that the cauliflower and cheese was watery as opposed to thick and cheesey, but the rest was satisfactory. Doesn't compare to the roasts in Brighton & Hove as we're spoilt down here, but as I said for the area, I've been twice and will return.

Lovely village pub , will definately visit again

Went two nights in a row as we were staying in our motorhome along the road. First night was curry night. Fab food and very reasonable. The steak on the second night was 2 for £30 plus a bottle of wine. Again...couldnt fault it. Lovely steak. Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed my first visit here , had a steak and stilton baguette with chips which was really nice. A traditional pub in a lovely village setting, will definitely return .

I and wife had a good dinner and drinks. The staff was very service to us. We will come again to here.

Solo pare a tomar un café expresó y un botella de agua pequeña 4,50 £ . El mismo precio que en las areas de descanso de las autopistas. Y eso que está en un pueblo perdido.

We went here for food and it was one of the the best steaks I have ever had. Not cheap but worth every penny. Great staff,very friendly and welcoming.

Table booked for 7.30pm got there and the table wasn't ready until 8pm. Meals were OK. Pudding huge disappointment. We all ordered raspberry mess sundae and not one raspberry in sight but plastered with raspberry sauce. Basically paid £7.50 for ice cream with raspberry sauce with a few pieces of meringue and some squirty cream on top.

Large fish and chips more like minnow fish will not be back in a hurry

No longer my favourite pub, used to love coming here for the homemade steak and stilton pie, it's no longer made in house but bought in from a butcher, smaller and without stilton but more expensive, just garden peas as well (used to get a few different veggies). The prawn salad was poor value for money aswell, just a shop bag of salad. Such a shame but we won't be visiting anymore.

Didn't have anything to eat. Coffe machine was playing up. Lovely venue.

Ate here on Sunday a few weeks ago. The Sunday roast was nice although the treacle pudding and custard I had was cold, which wasn't so bad as it was a sunny day anyway. Found the music a touch on the loud side and more suited to Saturday night than midday Sunday. I would go back and try again though.

Very nice Sunday lunch, soup was very nice mushroom and tarragon, and the roast beef dinner excellent 3 big peaces of beer and veg. Will come again 10/10

Great food, generous portions but high quality too

Ideal country pub excellent food drink and service always a warm welcome

Been here a few times food is always good , nice atmosphere with good staff definitely recommend 👍👍

Really lovely meal here. Very reasonable price. Nice staff. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food,nice cosy decor and pleasant staff. Huge burgers and well presented food at a reasonable price too.

Always been happy with the meals and service but today… booked for 1pm got in early ordered meals at 1.10 and had to wait 50 mins for 2 meals! They served a table of 5 and a table of 6 that came in after us before us! Not happy and a free drink of Pepsi doesn’t cut it.

Loved their Sunday dinner and the nice and cosy atmosphere and kind staff. Highly Recommended!

Excellent friendly staff and great food.

Buena comida, buen trato, ambiente tranquilo y relajado.

First time visitor and can't fault this place. Great ambience, friendly and attentative staff....and cracking, well presented food too!! The fact my ex-neighbour travels from Kirkby-in-Ashfield to visit this place toosays a lot. Wish I'd visited sooner, but will definitely be coming back.

Amazing local pub! Super delicious food and attentive service. Thank you so much for making our night special.

Amazing little pub staff are amazing food is perfect

Lovely village pub atmosphere. Great food, great beer and lovely staff

Excellent service and friendly staff once again. The 8oz rump steak was delicious served with chips, tomatoes and onion rings topped with peppercorn sauce. If you are yet to visit The Stanhope, you don't know what you're missing!

Lovely pub, great food, cozy and welcoming

Absolutely amazing, good quality, good portions, reasonable priced and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Always a pleasure to visit! Great service, food and drink.

Supporting your local Pub with one of the best Christmas beers 🍺 on the market

Fantastic pub. Very friendly owners staff and locals. Nice and clean surroundings and toilets The food was lovely and reasonably priced. Quiz night was good fun. Would definitely recommend this pub and restaurant and will be going again.

Amazing food and service . Chicken and Chorizo to die for !

We went for a family meal and the staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic, will definitely be going back

Lovely Sunday roast. Food piping hot and tasty. Beer good. And dogs welcome

Won’t be rushing back any time soon. Came last night for a meal with my wife. Her lasagne had hard pasta and what looked like half a block of cheese on top which made it all greasy. My steak - asked for it medium and I think the kids of life would have brought it back. Such a shame as we have had some lovely meals here. Think it’s more a place for a drink in future

Nice friendly village pub with great food.

Beautiful meal and excellent staff

Warm welcome for our party of 4 people and 4 dogs. We had 3 different beers all in excellent condition.

Nice food, clean place. Our table was very small and you felt you were sitting on top of each other... a bit disappointing.

Good quiet when we arrived had a snack and a drink, plenty of choice, a bus load came in on a surprise mystery pub crawl was funny, they had no idea where they were, and all were very friendly, would recommend pub,, goid ambience and food

Very friendly staff enjoyed the banter.
