The Brewhouse Melbourne Hall in South Derbyshire

Absolutely love it here, always so relaxed, lots of great drinks and food and just an all round nice place to wound down.

To be absolutely clear. The beer is kegs. Not cask. Which was disappointing for an "ale house" So no real ale is available here. No cask condition ale. The staff were lovely, I was attending a fair size family birthday. The pizza were slow, like 2 every 30minutes, the grazing platter needed some utensils to get it off the platter. But it was all good, the kids had a playground to play in.

Nice atmosphere, lovley food and drinks (Lamb Keema Pinsa is awesome 👌)

Can't say whether the food is good but those I was with were really pleased. The beer is amazing and really tasty. We were treated to live music with a real fine performance. A lady called Tilly Green who amazed us for singing for 2 hours without stopping for a break. The atmosphere was nice and the rain held off till it finished. Will definitely visit again.

Just wanted a beer while my family did the Melbourne gardens - good location at Melbourne Hall courtyard but as Gwyn said on his review 3 weeks ago the choice of beer was very uninspiring with what I could see NO local options at all but the others all seemed unknown but expensive "trendy" names - quite a disappointing visit. But an excellent view of the aircraft taking off fron East Midlands Airport- a teal bonus eh?

This was our second visit based on a good experience back earlier in 2024. Booking on line was easy and the table was ready on arrival. The location and setting is lovely. Again, the selection of craft ales was a little strange and random. A selection of local real ales would be my preference. The first disappointment was that the menu has been reduced in volume compared to earlier in 2024 (no goat curry, jerk chicken) and then to compound matters we were advised that three items on the limited menu were unavailable. For starters we had the three different types of Arancini and we were delivered 7 smallish balls for a cost of £36. For the main course all choose the special of Sri Lankan fish curry. The fish was cooked perfectly as was the rice. The very thin liquid curry was bland and had us all reaching for seasoning. Overall a big disappointment compared to before. Please bring back the wider menu, get some local beers on tap and make sure you can deliver what is on the menu.

Lovely courtyard to meet friends BUT, they ran out of ice by 8pm and the ladies toilets are an absolute disgrace! Filthy and they stink like the worst public toilet you you can imagine!

Fantastic gem of a place in beautiful surroundings. The menu is tremendous. High end food. Staff are great, try this place, you won't be disappointed.

Great food trucks on a Wednesday evening.

Fabulous food, thanks to Roger for introducing us to the brewhouse. Staff so friendly, will be back next week.

Cannot state how amazing our experience was today. There was a mix up regards our booking and rather than cancel us, they opened up early. Food was freshly prepared and beautiful. A large and diverse selection of ales. Roger was very welcoming and knowledgeable host. Will return

Been twice in as many weeks, the service was fantastic, food amazing both times and both very different. Lots of vegetarian options, which is rare!

Enjoyed afternoon drink & pizza, good service nice setting friendly & knowledgeable bar staff

Excellent place to drink something surrounding by old buildings with beautiful architecture - complete immersion in the English countryside! Strongly recommend it!

Went along to try the new menu from Momma Bains. Service as well as the food was very good. What's even better, we could have our doggies with us. Managed to get a pic with the main guys as well.

Food was great. Nice place with live music and good beer.

Really nice food, great beer and excellent friendly service. Live music while we were there added to a nice atmosphere too. Will definitely be back.

Shall definitely be visiting again 😁

My partner and I went to Brewhouse after hearing the buzz about about the place. The venue had a great vibe and the food was unreal - I went with the Bunny chow and my wife for the Caribbean Classic, which typically, I preferred her dish! Cant wait to return

We were recommended this place for the special ales and it did not disappoint. Good selection and staff were really friendly too. They had quite an extensive food menu and tried the Caribbean food which was banging! Will be back for the food and ale!

This is a gem. Lovely location, great beer and a great menu. We had the curried goat which we’d recommend. Will be going back for more.

A great cosy venue for drinks and food. Awesome menu. Had the Pizzas, the traditional South African dishes and the fantastic Caribbean Classics. All A++++++++++

Amazing dishes and a calming atmosphere. Amazing alcohol selection. South African food served here is top notch - just needs Bananas! :)

Food was amazing and the selection of drinks were all top quality. We will be going back.

Nice environment, but a poor choice of overpriced beer. Somewhere called The Brewhouse not serving real ale is a bit laughable.

A fantastic place for first class beer, food and service. Great atmosphere, Highly recommended! The pinsa (Pizza) are absolutely amazing! ❤️👌😋👌

Didn’t get to try any beers. Server unable to provide prices for any of the eight beers on offer. No menu, QR code or otherwise available.

Absolutely wonderful for an outing with the whole family.

Great selection of beers, European and local, would be nice to see a low or no alcohol beer on tap. Food is always tasty.

Fantastic bar lovely food and beer

Fantastic place for drinks and food. Service was outstanding 👏 loved it 👍👍

Great pint and nice atmosphere. The food looked great. Also dog friendly but no water bowls. However the chap did bring biscuits round. Good selection of beer.

Visited after a very sweaty walk from Chellaston. We made a spur of the moment decision to visit the Brewhouse for a beer and a bite to eat, over buying an ice cream, which was easily the best decision we’d made all day. Great selection of beers, and pizza was outstanding. My girlfriend is vegan, and all of their pizza options (without meat) could be made vegan. So we went for the Occhu Verdi originally, however it turned out pesto was used. The chap behind the bar came and found us, and made us aware, then offered an alternative, which was outstanding. The base was crispy, the rocket and pinenuts added great texture, and considering it was vegan cheese, the whole thing was delicious. Not a morsel leftover.

Great place for a good pint or two.

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this place so much. It far exceeded my expectations. The only reason I gave 4star for atmosphere, was because we went early lunchtime and most sane people had swerved Melbourne due to heavy traffic for Download festival, so pretty quiet. Will certainly go back.

Great selection of beers and really nice food.

Spent a really nice afternoon in the sun, enjoying the food and drink at The Brewhouse. Decent selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and food was very tasty

My partner loves his real ales and after seeing this Pub on Facebook I decided to bring him for a visit, he absolutely loved it and was spoilt for choice. The pub is lovely and the chap that served us was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit

Really good pizza. Cosy courtyard setting and dog friendly. So good beers too. Lots of decent options for those of us that avoid the mass produced stuff

Delicious food outside in the sun!

Very good selection of beers 🍻 staff fab,very dog friendly not tryed any food yet,but it all nice very nice when it comes out

Fabulous find on Sunday visit to Melbourne. Fantastic range of beers (and bottle shop) and really delicious vegetarian sharing platter, very happy! And the dog loved his doggie sausages as well.

Great selection of beers (although seem to be far more on offer to take away than drink in). Great setting, interesting building. Worth a visit.

Had a great night, staff are brilliant. One of the best open mike sessions I've been to

Lovely bar Beautiful surrounds staff really friendly and helpful

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast platter (although I could say exactly the same about their Pinsa’s too, but I don’t have any photos to hand… separate review to follow)! Smashing service also accompanied by great beer. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Fabulous lunch for 4 at the Brewhouse yesterday - excellent food, drink and service by Ian and his colleagues. Would highly recommend

We stumbled across this place last night and wow what an amazing find, the food was absolutely amazing the pizzas were beautiful by far the best We’d had in a very long time and the sharing boards were insane. The whole place was just wonderful so chilled, gorgeous with such lovely staff and we even had fabulous guitarist play and sing whilst we ate. It’s one of those places we should tell the world about but really you don’t because you want to keep it all to yourself lol 😂. Such a fabulous place a must visit when in Melbourne xxx you won’t be disappointed xxx
