The Argosy in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great place, with awesome staff, food is fantastic 👌👌

4 stars for the food but 1 star for the service. I'm am beyond shocked at the way the young man behind the bar disregarded me & served another man who had LITERALLY just got there

Generally quite busy even on a Wednesday good value food, good Lager & Beer.

Good food at good prices but had to wait for over 45 mins for drinks and same again for food and they didn't seem to care

Nice and friendly , food was spot on 👍

Good food great service value for moneyand friendly staff and clean pub

Budget friendly restaurant and bar

Popped in for a quick lunch with my mum, I ordered the chicken gyros wrap and a side of cheesy chips. Food came fairly quickly. My wrap was absolutely drenched in 'hot sauce' (more like sweet chilli) when I picked it up to eat it the sauce was all over my fingers and dripping out the other end. I wasn't expecting much from a ding ding place but that was ridiculous

It was perfect from start to finish

Great little pub, food and service was great

Vegan options and really nice staff

Absolutely amazing place Family friendly Food is very tasty cheap in price

Visited for the entertainment last night. It was fabulous. Ash was lovely, very polite and welcoming. He's a credit to the pub

Nice place and further more nice sausage.... update. Still got nice sausage

The steak is well cooked and has been for the last year. Sometimes a bit of a wait at the bar. Generally a decent atmosphere

We got there and it seamed as if they had not paid their electric bill, it was dark and dinghy. We ordered our food and was told there would be an half hour wait, we ordered our food and drink and waited, 40 minutes later it arrived. I had ordered the Gammon and my wife had the Sausage and mash. My wife said she enjoyed hers but the Sausage skin was very chewy and wasn't nice. I started on mine and what a let down, the Gammon was grisly and full of fat the chips were warm and the peas could have been use as spread shot the egg was solid but the pineapple was the best part of the meal. I expected somebody to come to the table to ask if our meal was OK but this never happened. As I was hungry after the extended wait I ate what I could. Yuk. Will I go back, you have got to be joking.

Although it was busy the wait for food was short. Nice and hot and very tasty

Family of 5 meal , was quite disappointed to be honest. We have been several times before and never had any issues but tonight i dont really have anything good to say im afraid. Food took about an hour to come, sizzer not sizzling and did not look as it reads on the menu . My buger looked like Stevie Wonder put it together and the size of the meals for the price is deffo not what we expected, they were like large kids meals. Puddings were not the best either burnt tasting brownies and a distinct lack of ice cream in the chocolate sundae 👎 spent just shy of £90 and went home hungry 😒

As a paying customer I expect to order what I recieved. And when I spoke with your duty manager, he agreed your menu is grammatically incorrect and has appealed a change… we are still waiting the change. Can you at least make your menu state the facts and exact ingredients in the meals… especially when some people could have allergies and you aren’t ensuring your reaching customer satisfaction

Staff are friendly, very clean environment. Food is excellent, well worth a visit, kids welcome .

A little disappointed with our food today. We ordered 2 cluckin hot stack, not much hot sauce, one had no jalapeños at all No one ever came to ask if our meals were OK

Excellent breakfast. Couldn't eat another thing all day.

Went out for a late dinner, service was spot on wonderful staff. Food was amazing couldn’t fault any of it, compliments to the chefs. Waiting on staff very courteous. Food came out quick. Large range of meals to choose from and the kids menu is brilliant too!! Highchairs were clean so were the tables and the toilets. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend. Would go again and again. Very good value for money.

Great value menu especially Mon - Friday with 2 mains for £11.75. Nice food selection and tasty. Very popular venue so was very busy!

Waited an hour after ordering food, but at least it was hot, when it eventually arrived.

Sure and turf disappointing as the onions stuck to the skillet mushrooms dry chips under cooked,fish on the fish and chips was watery. Food doesn't look anything like the pictures advertising the food on the menu. Other food was ok

Not enough staff to cope as It was busy and it took 15 minutes to get served and then another delay ordering the meal but all of the staff were polite and friendly,meals were excellent and will look forward to our next visit as the meal quality made up for any delays

We had a lovely evening. The food was lovely.

Throughly enjoy my afternoon here, the atmosphere warm, friendly & welcoming

my wife and i went for a meal last had not been for ages and we were impressed with the menu and the food

Really good food it’s always nice

Great menu choice Friendly helpful staff Good choice of drinks Always feel welcome with a good vibe I visit quite often love to ribs and steak always come with my family never had a problem

Excellent service Topped with Fantastic Food 👏 Thanks..

Every Saturday morning we go out as a bunch of ‘older’ ladies, we have seen and eaten many breakfasts across Derby (and beyond) but we were so surprised with the level of service, hot plates and high level of attention to detail even down to how well the bacon and mushrooms were cooked! The price is very reasonable too, definitely happy to come back again!

As a bunch of ladies, we have breakfast out every Saturday we have seen and eaten many good brekkies, but I can say hand on my heart this was the best by far. Absolutely delicious, plates hot, bacon just right, mushrooms perfect and the hash brown tots were sublime. The price is very very reasonable too. We will definitely be back 😘

Good beer, great food, happy efficient staff. Venue was very clean

5* everything! We held our team night out here and everything was FANTASTIC! A huge thanks to Becky and her team ❤️

The service and food was excellent. We have booked in for mothering Sunday

Food staff. Everything was great

Went for a steak with the mrs and very happy with the place. Chef was awesome steak cooked perfectly on both meals, staff are all very friendly place is nice and comfortable also. Will come again, refurb has worked wonders 😁😁

Nice place, good decor. Atmosphere was slightly lacking due to low music levels, however the beer was good, and although we didn’t eat at the time, the menu looked good

Meals were excellent staff were very friendly and polite and the prices for drinks very good 👍

Great food and service 100% recommend

Warm and inviting. Loved the ambience and loved the food too.

Food was fabulous, although the wait for it was rather long. Does make you wonder how they go on , on a Friday night or weekend xx 🤔

Staff very helpful, children were welcomed and staff friendly with them, food was out quickly and very tasty, our large group all loved the food

1st time in the Argosy for years. We met friends for a meal & drink & the food is very nice, the staff are very friendly & very helpful. We will go again.

Service was good but the sirlion steak was one of the worst I have ever had! It could not be chewed as it was filled with string sinews. I managed with what was left on my plate!

Nice breakfast but bacon was a little too well done for me hence the 4 star. In hindsight I should have stated I didn't want well done. Plenty of parking, staff very friendly and food reasonably priced

Good atmosphere, great waitors but the chef is banging out microwave meals

Polite and helpful staff and the food was really nice. I will be going again.

The food was fantastic, the best I've had in a long time. I can't say that any improvement was needed as we loved it. Can't wait to go back.

It was really nice as it's been years since last time visits. Food was amazing as I remember and my friends absolutely loved it

Great atmosphere, quick service, quick and lovely food.

Went to the argosy on the 9th January with family and the food was lovely and hot the atmosphere was really good and we will be back soon .

Christms dinner was amazing as always.

Had a good night out at R&B Soul Night

Busy night but staff working hard

I take my grandson here regularly. The last time I visited was new years eve at 1pm. The lady behind the bar barely cracked a smile and the please and thank yous grudgingly given. I had scampi, not the lite bite, I received 6 small bits of scampi and a very small portion of chips. My grandsons lunch was bigger than mine. I was quite disappointed in this visit. I shall persuade him to go elsewhere in future.

All very good thanks perfect A+++++

Lovely food - great deals Very good quality food Service also very polite and friendly Nice and clean restaurant ✅

We went here for Christmas day and were so disappointed. The service was poor and we had to ask twice where our food was. The salmon and turkey were nice but the vegetables were hard and the apple pie was cold and awful. Overall not worth paying £51.99 for.

This place goes down hill every time we visit, we only go due to meeting up with family. Food is pants and over priced Rubbish selection of draft cider and over priced bottles . Wine prices, you could start your own vineyard with what they charge. Better places out there people

Friendly, polite, professional and knowledgable staff Julie (Staff) is always helpful and professional

Lovely meal as always. Attended with my family for my brothers birthday. Food was lovely, service was fantastic and Fiona, our server was very attentive and accommodating. Look forward to returning x

The food is always as I ask for. They do a very good job of catering for my allergy. When providing service, be it table service or bar service, it is always quick and most often done with a smile. Generally good all round pub

Regular stop for a quick meal. Always friendly service and great food. The fish and chips is particularly good; fresh, piping hot and cooked just right.

Great place, efficient staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Well kept ales too. Also decent dog area inside, water and dog treats available (free).

* The wait time was really poor, we ordered and had to wait over an hour for our main courses, some people in the group did have starters which did come after about 20 minutes which was reasonable * Your app stated the Christmas meal is £14.99 for a 3 course however when we went to order we were told it was £16.99 and the pricing varies depending on the pub banding, this was not made clear on the app * We were also told the Christmas food was for booking only, the staff kindly agreed to give us the option to have this with limited puddings however it does not state this is for bookings only * we were meant to have a free cocktail however you had run out, your bar person wasn't sure if we should have a free non alcoholic drink, I had to point out it states a non alcoholic alternative is available The staff were very polite but I think your website and app really causes them issues, its not fair on the customer and its not fair on the staff to try and manage what your online adverts say

What an absolutely great place to visit. we went during the day, and it was still pretty busy we didn't book, but i would definitely recommend booking if you require food at busy times evening and weekend. Situated on the outskirts of Derby city centre off a busy main road if you blink you may miss it, it holds a medium car park there is street parking but only in the evening so be carefull of parking restrictions This pub is a part of the sizzling chain, the menu is simple but loads of choose from, from steak to burgers smaller bites etc, they have a sizzling app which i would definitely download it you get offers and rewards. The food was lovely and the staff gave great customer service. The entrance is wheelchair friendly, i would definitely go again, well done, guys, keep up the good work

Went as a family of four. Fed us all for under £40. Really enjoyed the burger! My little ones had a burger and mini breakfast. Very generous portions for the kids. Staff are really friendly.

I prebooked but the table was not ready until about ten minutes after the reservation time. One breakfast was delayed due to a. Mix up in the order Food was good, service about average. I acknowledge that the restaurant was really busy because of the season and the "breakfast with Santa" promotion.

Good food good beer.nice staff.

Welcoming, left us to it without constant checking in. Food was nice.

Great food & service. Plenty parking even if car park covered with snow. Chose Jacobs Ladder. Excellent beef rib. Tim Taylors Landlord on draft was really good condition.

Had a nice mixed grill, service was excellent food good and nice friendly atmosphere. Server was Diane I think, very good and friendly.

Unpretentious, friendly, local'ish pub, with a wide range of food.

Visited Monday evening with family all staff were really friendly especially the bar maid who's name I didn't catch but she has blond hair if that helps, she was really amazing ensuring our orders were correct attending with my autistic nephew our orders can be quite specific and this lady was fantastic with this continuing to provide quality service to us through our meal, our thanks for that it made a real difference to the experience. Our food was served in a timely manner and all looked and tasted delicious, with plentiful portion sizes even with the children's meals that are a bargain at just £1 with a adult meal Monday to Thursday we will definitely be back

I had the fish and chips and although it was nice I think the fish was a little under cooked for my liking unless it's the type of fish they use. My son had the good fella burger which he thoroughly enjoyed and it looked pretty good too

Good staff, friendly and accommodating. Nice and comfortable venue and lovely food.

Good pub. Nice revamp recently.

Friendly staff fish could do with a crispyer taste not soggy otherwise it was mice

They refused to put the rugby world cup final for us between south Africa and new Zealand some weeks back

This pub has really gone down hill lately. Such a shame as it used to be really good. My husband had a mixed grill which was overcooked and dry. I had a burger with just a few fries and looked nothing like it did in the picture. Really disappointing

Good food, good service, friendly staff

I find this place 'Hit and Miss'. I have had some good meals and some not so good. The same goes for the service. Children can be a bit of a put- off at times also. Since this review, I have returned with a party of 20+ which was prearranged. I was really surprised and pleased how well the evening went. The service was quick and the food was excellent. The staff were pleasant and helpful. I have therefore upped my rating to 5. Well done Argosy.

Our food was lovely - Tasty, hot and plentiful. Fiona was our fantastic waitress. I received the generous 40% off mains email offer by email so me and my wife decided to try out the new refurbed Argosy. The look of the pub is much nicer now with a welcoming and modern feel. We was genuinely surprised at the very reasonable prices on the menu and they are more than fair for what must be tough times for all pubs. The menu quality and choice is truly excellent with something for all. My wife had chicken fajitas which she really enjoyed and I had a 10 ounce ribeye steak - my steak was over cooked and the black pepper sauce was forgotten, but thanks to the fantastic service from our lovely waitress Fiona she brought out a freshly cooked meal, with a perfectly cooked medium rare ribeye steak. The chef did an excellent job of the second meal. I hate having to send food back and rarely do but I had to in this instance, as I really didn't enjoy the overcooked first steak after a couple of bites, to see if I could just manage with it so I wasn't waiting for another meal. I was surprised this happened as I ordered on the app and it asks you how you'd like your steak, but as I said the chef made a lovely second steak and everyone makes mistakes so it's how you correct them that counts and Fiona offered us some free puddings which were a very nice gesture and they again were really good like our mains were. We'll definitely return again and I recommend the Argosy to everyone.

Stopped here on our way to an appointment .Nice, atmosphere friendly staff if passing, I'm sure we'll call again

My partner and I and a family friend had breakfast, my food was ok, nothing outstanding, just ok, it was cooked but not hot as you would expect, my partners order was wrong (quickly rectified, but wrong), and the food on her plate tasted sour, we were one of 2 occupied tables so not busy, my partner had to settle for a glass of water with her meal and dry toast as there were NO dairy free alternative, we were told, semi-skimmed milk for drinks and butter for the toast were the only options, definitely not returning, sorry.

So we haven't been in since the place was refurbished and we were pleasantly surprised. The team were friendly and we was served by the manager and James. The manager helped us with the o2 app and was very accommodating. The food came in a timely fashion and was lovely. We had fish and chips which was just the right size. 2 for £11. The deserts were lovely.recommend the brownie

I booked the table to celebrate my 40th birthday, we found the restaurant clean and the staff friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food service was good as there was 16 of us we all got our meals together. I thought having to search for gluten free options on a tablet was a bit frustrating as it was also needed for checking in your guests, maybe a second tablet would be an idea so that guests can take time to choose from the menu. The food was nice although my Eaton mess did not have any strawberries or raspberries in so was a bit disappointing. Overall we enjoyed it and will return for a future visit. regards Laurrie.

Good food at the right prices. It can be noisy at certain times as they show sky sports

Dropped in on the off chance. Met by very cheerful staff, great service and food. Thanks 😊

Friendly staff, good service, lovely hot food, and plenty of food

Had a very nice meal September 2023 really nice decor and very polite staff would definitely go to pay a visit again food was very nice and enjoyable meal

Good value , good food, clean, very good service.

Food was amazing carvery is the best u will taste

Steaks were great and doggies friendly

Went on a Sunday night with partner. Place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. All staff we interacted with were friendly and attentive. Service was fast and food was tasty, with good portions. We liked the little grabber machine they had there: thought it was a fun little touch. Value for money was superb; reasonably priced food and cocktails were 2 for £8.50 or £5 each. Would recommend. Several screens showing live sport but wasn't rowdy at all.

It was to celebrate a birthday, there was 18 of us to cater for, the service and the meal was fantastic. Will definitely come again.
