The Badger Pub in Chesterfield

The food is home cooked, and I've never been disappointed yet. I usually go in a group and the choice suits everyone. The prices are very reasonable, it's not worth putting the oven on at home for their special discount days. The staff are exceptionally friendly even when really busy. It is so popular it is essential to book.

Went for sunday lunch, and it was delicious. Service was exceptional

Our local. Absolutely lovely and a nice play area for the kids.

Loved it great food served hot and was very good

Used to be our local. Food good. For a free house. Drinks on the expensive side.

Brilliant food and drink very good garden very nice good play area will go again

Warm welcoming pub. Food is fantastic, the Sunday lunch is my favourite. Great price and plenty on your plate, big beer garden for kids to play. We've had party's here including My nans wake and they couldn't have made it anymore perfect if they tried.

Best Sunday lunch away from home I have ever had. A plate full of succulent meat, a vast selection of fresh vegetables homemade Yorkshire Wow complements to the chef a fabulous home cooked meal worth a visit !!!!

Love this pub as it has a big play area outside. Fab for the summer. Fab for kids. Has a alot of benches outside for families. Food looked and smelt amazing. But we just went for beer.

Really like it here and the value of the pub being about community over profit. Only negative advertised until 4pm but then if you go about 3pm onwards they have run out of things on the menu.

If you want a proper Sunday dinner this is the best in town lovely hot food and plenty of give them a call and see for your selves 😉

Went for a party! Clean pub, friendly staff, good prices. 👍

Fantastic Pub, excellent grub, locally owned. Massive beer garden with kids play area

Great family put with big beer garden and kids space. Food and beer very reasonably priced, a favourite local.

Had Sunday lunch, and it was so good highly recommended and not expensive at all.😁

Best Sunday lunch ever had in a pub!! Best in Chesterfield, that's for sure!!

Yesterday we had our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration here for 30 people. We chose the 2 course Roast dinner for our guests. The meal was perfect and plentiful. The service was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. The dining room is lovely with great decor and ambience. Sheila and her staff ensured that everything went well. We had an absolutely wonderful celebration. I highly recommend The Badger.

A wonderful experience at the Badger 😊 We came as part of a pre booked function and had a wonderful time. The staff are friendly and diligently, the atmosphere well balanced with tasteful music at the right volume and the food was fantastic. As the awkward Vegans of the group we are used to being happy with what we get, however the Chef at the Badger cooked us a beautiful vegetable tart and our own vegan apple crumble. Every element was cooked to perfection with generous portions and timely service, the non vegans raves about beef, I can happily recommend The Badger 😊

Excellent beer on tap. Food great. Definitely worth a visit

Lovely visit today. Great staff, excellent Sunday Lunch, beautifully cooked and plenty of veg. and home made yorkshire puds. Choice of beef, pork and chicken. Also reasonably priced beers and lagers. (Clean loos a big plus for me too!) Particular thanks to Tracy who looked after us at table, very hospitable. Thank You guys, see you soon 😁

Jorge was working behind the bar she was fast and very pleasent, friendly smile and lovely to talk too. She's very good at her job.

We went in for food and pool. It was lovely homemade food. And it's dog Friendly. Polite staff. Friendly enough pub.

Fantastic Sunday lunch wonderful selection of vegetables. Really lovely friendly staff

We enjoyed a beautiful well presented meal served by extremely friendly efficient staff.

Went to a 40th birthday party hax a good night

Had a Sunday lunch today early on. Food was not up to the usual very high standard. Meat tough and sherry trifle had no taste of sherry. I hope this was a temporary blip.

Food is good, great service too

Great food and staff really helpful. Thanks.

Went for food today which was absolutely delicious. The lady was so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back.

Nothing special felt a bit like I wasn't liked being in there very disappointing

Popped in for a Sunday lunch,Delicious food great value and very nice staff.Will definitely return soon.

I went with my family to the Christmas fair. Plenty of parking. A nice pub/restaurant. Good atmosphere.

Great place, great food , great

Good point. Comfortable. Friendly staff. Big TV screen too. Highly recommend it

nice clean and friendly pub good beer had a lovely afternoon for friends party

Fabulous, welcoming local pub. Great food, excellent sunday roast! 👌 Staff are wonderful and the drinks are very reasonably priced.

Second time I have called in for a meal with my family and I was again imprest with the service and food would recommend to anyone.

Great home made food, very generous portions & lovely staff 👍

Booked the Badger for a Sunday lunch with family after a long search for something near my cousin. After one that had chosen to do a refurb over the bank holiday weekend, a picture of the food at the Badger came up. Booked for 4 out of desperation, though reviews looked good. Well, what a brilliant decision it turned out to be. From the outside it's an estate pub, but well kept, inside it's been refurbished and the dinning room was bright and airy with plenty of privacy around the extremely comfortable chairs. The tables had plenty of space for plates, glasses and bits, a lazy Susan helping with condiments and bottles. The menu was simple and clear, but choosing was anything but as we looked at the plates of fellow diners. Food was cooked to perfection. Beef, thin, moist and soft. Vegetables, roast spuds, cabbage, broccoli, swede, carrots and cauliflower. Two large yorkies and some wonderful spiced stuffing. The pork looked good too. My son said the crackling was perfect, and the apple sauce smooth. Very generous portions, but not greedy size. Puddings were homemade and mmmmmmmmmm! We retired to the garden, not clear on the facebook page, with climbing frames and other bits to occupy young children. Well maintained and good benches. Overall an excellent Sunday lunch at a very good public house. Don't go by the Facebook images, it's been fully refurbished and is a very pleasant place to enjoy really good food, with excellent service from friendly, helpful staff. One final thing, incredible value for money. Large meal under £10. Budget price at Mid to upper range location.

Always enjoy visiting The Badger. We hold our family celebrations there. Never disappointed.

Lovely community pub very good home cooking! 5/5!

Great food, lovely atmosphere Nice pub :)

What a fantastic meal the meat and potato pie was the best we had ever had all staff were friendly and helpful and shellac was so kind and made us so welcome can't wait to go again

Lovely sat out at back of pub.nice meals,reasonable prices and large portions

Excellent staff service and and the food was hot and excellent food deffo will recommend it to people to go x

Excellent. Good range of beers and excellent food. Would recommend.

Friendly staff, excellent food and good beer.

Called to meet up with an old friend today to watch the Play Off final. Neither one of us have been here before but we were made very welcome by staff and the regulars. Very friendly, will definitely visit again.

Nice building, but barman surly, comes when he feels like it. Too busy watching the football.

Beer garden is great, friendly atmosphere, service A1 , good food, Just what you need for a relaxing Sunday afternoon .

Booked a table half an hour before we arrived at Lunchtime. There was a Thursday Menu – a main meal, dessert and a choice of tea or coffee for £10. We both had Tuna Croquettes with chips and salad. They were delicious and both our plates were very clean with no thought of using a doggy bag for our pouch. The large size of the dessert of Apple Crumble with custard or ice cream would put many Pub lunches to shame. A lively conversational clientele helped the Pubs ambience. Good friendly service and a decent Merlot made it a pleasurable experience. I had last been in The Badger over 60 years ago, the Landlord took about 10 minutes to pour and serve a wonderful pint of Guinness, and I have fond memories of our late night drinks. We will certainly visit again.

Excellent service nothing to much trouble.... Sunday lunch well worth coming back for .... Be back soon ...

Excellent play area for kids Very Good food and beer 👍

Good food nice people reasonable price

Brilliant place, friendly service and lovely food. Will definitely go back. We all enjoyed our food and pudding 🤤🤤

Visited this pub 2 weeks in a row for Sunday lunch as such excellent value for money, The staff are friendly, kind and obliging and the restaurant side of the pub is welcoming and comfortable. A lovely place to eat. Thank you. 🍽🍻

Staff mostly friendly. Beer good, and the Black Flame Marauder bike night is excellent.

Absolutely brilliant pub.... great food, atmosphere and service. they have had a full refurb throughout and the beer garden to the rear is absolutely huge, great for family's with the play area away from the road. Cant wait to return.

Great Friendly pub, family orientated and very welcoming, excellent beer garden, looking forward to returning

Lovely local pub, amazingly helpful friendly staff and the best Sunday dinner in Chesterfield.

Visited on 2 occasions recently with Family and had their Sunday lunch, had seen them advertising on a neighbourhood app and thought would give it a go, on both occasions we had a really good experience, really friendly staff and good home cooking with generous portions, by mistake it’s the first place my daughter has had gravy and she even asked for it the second time we went, still won’t have it at home, we will definitely be returning once this second lockdown is over and will try on a week night as they appear to have some good offers on

A very friendly, traditional family orientated pub which also serves value for money meals.

Sunday lunch amazing ' proper home cooked food

Just been for the first time for Sunday lunch and it won't be the last! Even the small was a generous portion and everything was delicious. Fantastic value for money and lovely friendly staff.

Lovely staff. Very nice food. Nice facilities inside and out. Social distancing measures very good.

I was in the area for a short break. The Badger was local, gave it a try and i am so glad that i did. Ended up eating there Thursday, Friday and Saturday night and Sunday Lunch. Was made welcome from the first time i walked through the door, all the staff are very friendly nothing is too much trouble. The food is freshly cooked, tasty, with generous portion sizes. Can not fault this excellent team. If your in the area give them a try. Overall fantastic experienceThank you very muchAndrew

Nice friendly staff and lovely cup of coffee. 😊

Booked our engagement party here as there is a marquee, nice function rooms recently refurbished.Also had Sunday lunch which was a beautiful meal.BUT THEN..... we booked for 30 people initially then decided to take it down to 20 people.We were told by a member of staff the buffet was from £6.95 a head. We were quoted £9.95 as we had added a few extras such as chicken drumsticks and desserts which I understand but it was lack of communication all the way, no phone calls or information/updates we had to do the chasing which in my eyes is totally unacceptable.We wanted music in the marquee and was told that would be sorted...it gets worse!The day before the booking I received a lengthy text from the co owner/cook stating they had decided they couldn’t accommodate us as we had stated that there was going to be over 30 people and due to covid restrictions that is why I received the text stating the cancellation... a member of staff informed me that it said 20 people in the diary and yet on the day a lady co owner said it still said 30... so which is it?My partner rang and spoke to the cook who I believe to be a co owner and remained very calm stating it was for 20 people to be told the other co owners would have to be consulted before agreeing for it to go ahead, remember this is the day before!!! After my partner chasing it up again we were told yes it was going ahead ... where did all that inconvenience causing stress and upset arise from?? Totally unnecessary and incorrect information.Then when we arrived , the bar was like Marie Celeste and a few times throughout the day I understand there are times the bar may be unattended say for glass collecting but when there is a function on surely this should be thought about on staffing levels or bar management.We were disgusted to find nothing had been done in preparation for the party, the marquee was dirty, no sanitizer in view when it was opened up, slug trails on the floor, tables looked dirty no effort had been made whatsoever Nothing put in place as regards the music, the lady co owner was very apologetic and tried her best to put things right..she brought out a small Bluetooth speaker, we said no we were told there was an amp but it wasn’t Bluetooth capability then they couldn’t find the leads, not to mention my partner had to carry the heavy amp from the pub into the marquee and set it up himself, on our day and in his best clothing .. why wasn’t all this put in place earlier in the day?? We were told we could have the buffet in the dining area as an exclusive area which was a nice idea but not when it’s used as a through fair to the bar and toilets by all. When the main entrance was the designated entrance due to covid 19 restrictions..So... as you can see the whole thing was a shambles from start to finish leaving us very upset,disgusted and disappointed on what should have been our special day ruined.The food was apparently very nice ( I didn’t even look as I’d lost all faith by now) but it was all too late to be salvaged the damage was done .

Good bewr and staff beer garden whats nor to like plus its only a five minutes away

Very good Meat and Potatoes pie will recommend it as well as the Sunday lunch

Great Sunday lunch, big plates, good food, pleasant&friendly staff. Been for s pint , sat in garden, very pleasant.

Family friendly with decent beers and live sports

Beautiful meal for the right price excellent.

We have regular events here and it's always great, helpful staff and lovely chips.

To be expected of quiet residential area pub. Good choice of traditional menu, and James the Chef is very accommodating, so long as you eat all of his large portions!! Bar staff very friendly and helpful.

Great Halloween event for the kids. Shame there were no outdoor lights for the kids when they were playing outside as it was dark as hell. So dark I lost a kid playing hide and seek. 😂😂

Excellent food and customer focus

Lovely meal today. Great play area for the kids out back and more than generous portions. Thank you to Tracey and the team for the hospitality. We shall be back.

Good service, and tasty food. Had not been there before. Good local eatery

Lovely meal today. Great play area for the kids out back and more than generous portions. Thank you to Tracey and the team for the hospitality. We shall be back.

Nice Sunday roast, meat was perfectly cooked

2 good beers on children's play area and a bouncy castle

Went here with friends and all their kids. The park is great for them which keeps them amused leaving you to have a bit of me time. They do great snacks for all ,very good prices

Awful, unfriendly and toilets are absolutely disgusting. Had take my 2 year old daughter to gents cubicle, I had to clean it down for her to use it ,toilet seat broken off and on floor, hand dryer full of mould.

Great locals place hidden gem for proper home cooked foods great beer garden. What more do you want ... oh and the beer is spot on!
