Dropped in for some food, did not expect much but very pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly helpful & attentive the food tasted great there was plenty of it too Burgers were really good and the fish & chips also hit the spot chips were lovely. My wife made a mistake with ordering ice cream instead of custard for my sticky toffee pudding I said not to worry but the lovely lady behind the bar brought me out a jug of custard without being asked. If you are looking for really tasty food at a sensible price The Derwent Arms is the place you want.

Well where to start, came for Sunday dinner for my birthday , absolutely shocking they have a chef that can't even bake a yorkie, burnt on top raw and doughy in middle I work as a chef and I can assure you the slop served here wouldn't have made it past the bin in my.kitchen, beef was like it had been boiled, veg selection was a joke. Oh and ps if your going to have your kitchen door open (right next to the toilet maybe make sure your chefs are prepping on the correct boards, complained to waiter he was useless too took 5 trips to the kitchen to bring 6 plates out and didn't even offer to get manager or anything. Looked miserable as sin did the staff, tables were sticky and beer was flat would most definetely recommend you go elsewhere, definetely not.worth the money your charging

I visited this pub twice, hoping for a decent experience, but I was sorely disappointed both times. On the first occasion, I brought my dog along, as this place is advertised as dog-friendly. However, upon arrival, the chef made rude comments about the dogs, despite clear indications to the contrary. This contradiction was frustrating, but the chef's attitude made it even worse. He was dismissive and condescending, making me feel unwelcome from the moment I stepped in. On the second visit, I came with a group of friends, thinking maybe the first time was just a bad day. Unfortunately, it wasn't. As we were trying to decide what to order, the same chef approached us and brusquely told us that we had "two minutes to make up our minds." His impatience and lack of courtesy were shocking, especially in a hospitality setting. The chef's attitude was disgraceful in two separate conversations, and it’s clear this establishment is poorly run. With so many better options available, I won’t be returning to this so-called "pub." Save yourself the trouble and find a place that actually appreciates its customers.

This place looked great on the outside. Checked the website food served all day from 1230 to 2030, So dropped in at quarter to 5 to be told no food till 5. Ok got a drink found a table not hard as we was the only 2 in the establishment at the time. At 5 got the menue had a browse by quarter passed 5 no one had been to table despite it saying at table service. Placed our order myself at the bar asked for burger to be plain and asked for some water to go with the meal. Meal arrived went back to the bar to see the two members of on their mobile phones having a "Staff Meeting" before the rush.... Eventually got the water (Sounds pathetic I know). More people slowly filtered in all tourists like we are to the area. The staff pounced with at table service, even brung the other customers jugs of water for the tables they was at couldn't be more attentive towards them. For the prices being charged especially for wine (Get ready to sell a kidney). This establishment really was a massive let down it's only saving grace was the food was decent everything else was just a joke.

Absolute joy visiting this pub again after a good few years. A big welcome from the two ladies serving the drinks and taking orders. the drinks were superb, the correct temperature and poured perfectly. We ordered our food and was not expecting anything extraordinary, but WOW, it was first class. I had the fish burger with the best chips I have come across...Perfect. The the fish burger was just as good, perfectly crispy and fresh. My wife had the potato skins and they were deliciously satisfying. The staff were a credit to the UK local pub business and we are sure to be visiting the Derwent Arms again and again in the future. We recommend you visit. You will not be disappointed. Many thanks.

The chef's attitude was disgraceful in two seperate conversations. He told us about the individual curry on the menu not explained. The curry we had was not what you would call curry you need to open a cookery book chef!! The bowl of curry sauce served with lumps on constituted chicken is not a curry!! The scampi meal was tastless. 2 of us have been sick all night eating the curry. Your menue is poor and confusing. We usually eat high end and was not interested that the the scampi was £10.50! The price is erelevent. Will not be eating here again after eating here for many years. What a shame!! New owners should look at and taste what is served. Bar staff attentive. Its a shame nice place but the men that own it now need to look at standards and quality and their own attitude.

We stayed in our campervan the first night and fell in love with the people and the pub, so much so we came back again a couple of weeks later. The live music is a must for us and and to be able to stay over in our campervan for the night just made it even more appealing. Thanks again for an amazing night and we will definitely be back.

Whilst visiting the area, we chose to eat at the Derwent Arms as we wanted somewhere outside of town. Upon entry at around 7pm it wasn't very busy. We were greeted and advised to take a seat and our drinks order was taken. After looking at the menu, my wife had the stake and ale pie and I had the sloppy Joe burger. Food arrived quickly and omg, the portions were substantial. The chips were really thick and cooked really well. Didn't have room for desert ! Would definitely recommend this pub if you're in the area. Great food and very reasonable prices.

I just recently got a dog, knowing this pub to be a dog friendly place, My wife and I took a walk down for the 1st time as it's a nice walk from our house. The bar staff were lovely several other dogs in the pub nice atmosphere and dog friendly. Unfortunately my second visit with my son and dog wasn't as pleasant. Walked in with the dog bar staff were friendly, noticed the chef standing in the kitchen doorway looking at us, didn't really think much of it and walked outside to the Beer garden with our pint, decided to have one more inside before walking home. Waiting on the young lady to return to the bar my dog gave out a little bark so I went to tell him to sit down and wait, he is a very obedient dog and does as he's told. As I returned to the bar and the chef was standing behind the bar and very rudely said you're going to have to go next door with that dog... Just out right rude the dog barked once. The pub has sings all over saying dog's welcome I didn't feel very welcome this time. No idea what the chefs problem was.

A number of us came for food with kids, as they headed outside one acceptedly went quickly to be in no other words barked at by the manager. The child is 6 and I would have already spoken on their return or if needed the manager could have raised their concern to me. And I mean in a way as a parent was loud and aggressive that I would not do let alone to someone else’s child The atmosphere was ruined and to be honest the latest prices don’t warrant the quality or service.

Came with a group of 5 friends for a meal and drinks, customer service was terrible seems like some new staff but manager was rude. Ordered a pork summer salad, was very disappointed to wait 40 minutes for a meal i could’ve knocked together in 10. Especially for £12.95 was a ridiculous price for what came. Pork was very dry, visible in the photos. No salt or pepper even on the vegetable and honestly looks like something my mum would serve me with leftovers when she can’t be arsed cooking something proper. Shop bought coleslaw, couldn’t finish the meal as it just was not good. Complained to the waitress and were told we could order something else but would have to pay for it. Went in to send it back and talk to the manager and was condescending and rude, told us there was nothing wrong with and we can’t just change our minds. Overall just incredibly disappointed to have paid that much and not even be asked what could we do to make it better. Never coming back and wouldn’t recommend it, best thing was the chips but very salty. We live right next door to the pub as well and had hoped to come regularly over the summer but absolutely no chance of that now obviously.

Local pub so thought we would give the new menu a try - don’t write it off but could have been better We requested a bottle of Rose - don’t have that was the response, ok says I, do you have this one? Nope only got a Zinfandel which was not to our taste, shame two out of three pink wines were off. Bottle of red as third choice we found our table. Bit off putting that most were booked for 8:30 quiz night you see (we were in at 6:30) Menu choices a plenty, we opted for homemade fish cakes with chips (yummy) peas, salad and tartare sauce ( missing in action) The new lamb burger was my friend’s decision - not sure about cheese on a lamb burger unless it’s feta but she declared ok. Not long into our visit the kitchen seemed to be emitting smoke making our eyes water! Griddle too hit? No attempt to stop it coming through to the restaurant, if it had been warmer I would have moved outside. I will be back as not put me off, just need to make sure I’m not wearing anything I am worried about smelling of smoke the whole evening.

The food was spot on. My husband had the lamb burger and had the pubs special burger, Peanut Butter and Jelly (don't knock until you try it!!) Both were delicious and yes, definitely the best chips in York. The service was very good too and our server very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely eat here again. Only one negative. Please advise bar staff on the correct way to serve a drink. Heineken Zero does come with a head!! The barman wasn't happy when I requested it. A minor point that didn't spoil our visit however.

Both the young ladies on duty were extremely pleasant. We both chose the Lamb's Liver for our main course with the condition that it was served piunk and juicy; however, when it arrived, it was more akin to paté and was totally inedible. This totally spoiled what was a celebration of a significant anniversary. On paying the bill, I mentioned the issie to the young lady/cashier who proceeded to deduct the cost of one main course from the bill.

Camped in motorhome in paddock behind, great location for visiting York. Pub has good selection of beers and a typical menu for meals but needs to offer more choices including salads.

Curry nights NOT value for money and beef in curry tough as old boots. Steak orders not cooked to requirements. One manager full of his own importance. On a plus side, the rest of the staff were brilliant and friendly under pressure.

Went yesterday for lunch with family. The food was terrible especially for how expensive it was. Never going back and definitely not recommend. The staff on the bar were lovely.

I live in York went into town shopping Stopped off here as we wanted a drink , come in a lot for food etc , Went inside to the bar and was told its table service only Ok not a problem but that was for outside , one problem no tables , looked inside there was plenty empty … one problem again Can only sit there if you order food I don’t know if this was because it’s Christmas Market month But what I do know is I won’t be giving you my custom in January or any other month now when trade goes quiet you need locals and tourists alike to keep your trade

Breakfast sounded delicious but the pancake and yoghurt was so sweet and not certainly not value for money!
