Stayed 1 night in this wonderful Inn. We stayed in the Whiteley Neil superior superking room and we couldn't have asked for a more luxurious night away. Bed is extremely comfortable, room spotless and all the little extra touches adds to the experience. We both had steak in the restaurant in the evening and it was delicious. We couldn't resist the dessert menu and that didn't disappoint either. Lots of choices for breakfast and you definitely don't go home hungry at this place. A big shout out to all the staff especially Caroline who is so friendly. We will definitely return. Thank you Denise and Ian

Beautiful! I wanted a quiet country evening with good food and accomodation. I got so much more. I had booked sir robin of locksley suite, so glad I did! We had such a warm welcome from staff, it was so easy for a short break. Our Evening meal was superb. We are a little picky but my husband's steak was amazing, I loved the fish! The suite was lovely and super clean... Very important to me! What a beautiful little place in the middle of nowhere. A massive shout out to the lovely staff and breakfast was perfect. For a short stay, clean, good food and a warm welcome the Devonshire Arms is perfect... Need I say more. Hoping to return soon.

The Devonshire arms is the perfect setting whether it be for an overnight stay whilst exploring the stunning scenery in Derbyshire . A place to celebrate special occasions with family and loved ones , a romantic meal for 2 or to start the day off in the perfect English way with a belly busting breakfast. Attention to detail is paramount within The Dev and the staff are friendly welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be back to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary

We used the Devonshire for our wedding reception and we are so glad that we did. The quality of service and evening that they provided for us far exceeded our expectations. We met with Lauren multiple times before the big day and she ensured all of our wishes were met and that the day would deliver in every way for us. The setting was beautiful. We were able to use the gardens opposite for some beautiful photos. The venue provided the perfect place for our guests to wait with their welcome drinks before we arrived. We opted to provide our own DJ which was no issue and the room was laid out as per what we were after. A few tables for our elder guests and a nice large dance floor - which we made the most of! We chose to have the stone baked pizzas which were great. Our guests loved them and it kept our do a casual affair which is what we were after. Fortunately, the weather stayed nice enough for us to make use of the outdoor space. The bedrooms were perfect and the suite for my wife and I was lovely - I only wish we could have spent a little more time in it! We used the rest of the rooms for our parents and best man and they were all very complimentary of the facilities. Breakfast was fab the next day, by all accounts, though we had dashed off for our honeymoon by then! I would strongly recommend anyone wanting a gorgeous country pub setting for an event to consider The Devonshire. We had around 90 guests and it was just the right size. We were so well looked after and they ensured our day was as special as we hoped it would be. Thank you so much to Lauren and the rest of the team for helping make our wedding day so special.

Not stayed here, but visit for food and a pint whenever possible. Great staff, all very friendly and helpful. Brilliant food (I've never had a bad meal here!) and a great selection of drink. There's pictures of the rooms on display and they look fantastic. If they're done to the same quality as the bar and restaurant, which I have no doubt that they will be, they'll be awesome. Family friendly and full of atmosphere. 5 out of 5, would highly recommend.

Family gathering for my mum's 95th birthday celebrations. Been coming here for ages and never had a bad meal. Unfortunately it wasn't at its best. 7 of us had the roasts. The meat was tuff, no crackling with the pork dishes, too much gravy, small portions and little variety of vegetables, Yorkshire puddings over cooked and the meals were cold. If it hadn't been my mum's special occasion we would have complained, but didn't want to spoil her day. Shame as usually is top notch.

So, we came with high expectations. These were emphasised by the price point. So, a few comments: 1. Our overall meals were good. They were not spectacular and didn't justify the price point whatsoever, but were. My wife had clear salad topped with sea bass. The salad was a pretty small array of cutnup little gem lettuce. How it costs £10 as the base of the dish baffled us. My short Rob ragu was good, but for £19 was expecting a bit more imagination or wow factor. It was a bit pedestrian and lacking imagination.. 2. This was left me fuming. We spent £12 on tempura prawns for a starter. They were TINY. In the current financial climate, I am really not sure how they can justify that price. The manager should really question themselves. 3. Tipping. I always like to tip. I don't like to be forced to tip. A tip was pit on the bill and then the waitress asked pretty bluntly if we wanted to include it when we paid. As it was already on our bill, we felt pressured. (This is not a comment on our individual waitress, more a reflection on restaurant policy). To sum up. Nor a bad meal, at all. But, overpriced. No better than other local options like the Britosh Oak or Angel and Harlequin. Really, no better at all. Not sure we would eat there again.

I WONT RUSH BACK - IN FACT ILL NEVER GO BACK…. This place is Shooting way above their pretentious heads.….. Sunday lunch was truely over rated and certainly overpriced, I paid £6 extra for extra meat and was served two little extra bits of beef and pork, a side of (extra) mash was £4.…… I sent the meal back just to rec.a dinner that had undercooked and overcooked aspects, poor chef ability…. Yorkshire puddings was burnt, parsnip way way way undercooked, in fact it hadn't been cooked.…..all toll the dinner wasn't worth the money (£26) and I advise not to believe all the reviews….. They were probably left by rich pretentious people in the village.….. I paid £34 for a Sunday dinner and a pint plus the service charge.….service charge was £11 too, daylight robbery…… charging £11 to serve you food they sell you at expensive rates is obserd.….. i refused to pay £9 for a soup starter and or the same amount (£9) for a little slice of millionaire shortcake (probably pre bought from costco) ABSOLUTE DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.….. We were only served a drizzle of gravy, we had to ask for more, we had to ask for mint sauce and when it came, it came in the most pathetic small tiny binky little milk bottle lid type vessel and placed on the table between five of us, Joe, another part of the Bad service we pay the £11 for was not one single waiter or waitress came up to our table and asked us how things were now that is poor from any standard even if you live on the manner and being dragged up 😆, so just to put facts and figures into contention, if a family of four can afford to go to the “pretentious” Devonshire arms, buys an expensive drink, a daylight robbery starter, a rip off £22 mix meat dinner with extra meat (not) and add extra mash at the £4 rip off rate per scoop and a pre bought from Costco desert it will cost a family of x4 well over £200…… you do the maths.…. = “ DAYLIGHT ROBERY” (FACT) think I'm roasting a little chicken from Aldi Nxt weekend for the family (6) £3.50 for chicken, and £4 worth of veg, (includes veg for soup starter, and £2.50 on a desert .….totals £10.… divided that by x4 = £2.50 per serving 😆 and we all know you cannot be home-made food, especially Sunday dinners….. like I said earlier I’ll never return…… why would I or anyone else, other than to let the owner John Tompkins sit back and laugh at anyone stupid enough to sit and order his overpriced retention poorly executed food…… I say let him keep it, John also made contact with my sister June and told her she was barred for the review I left here.…. What a little petty saddo…..

Wow, what an amazing place. The staff are all very welcoming. We had lunch with family before staying overnight. The lunch was the best we've had in a long time. The steak was cooked to perfection. The sea bass was so delicious that I could've eaten that again, but the portions are perfect. Grandad had the apple pie for dessert. It was bigger than he thought, so we all helped. Amazing home cooked food. The room we had was clean and cosy. Even real milk in the fridge for tea and coffee. There is so much attention to detail. Sad to leave after a much needed tasty breakfast. You can even have a continental breakfast, I was tempted, but nah. 😃😃

Fantastic stay at this wonderful pub/restaurant with rooms. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our room and had everything explained. They managed to get us into the restaurant for our evening meal, even though they were very busy and full. Room was outstanding, very spacious and comfortable and extremely clean. The evening meal was also spot on, we ordered different meals but tried each others and I was completely impressed with both. Both of us were full after the main course, but because it had been so enjoyable, I couldn't not have a dessert, we decided to share, and that was my only mistake, once the Sticky toffee pudding arrived I wanted it all to myself. The staff were brilliant, very friendly and even during the busy evening they still attended to every whim and need. We will definitely be returning.

We came for food and drinks and it is very nice. They have a playground outside, with plenty of outdoor seating. The food menu is also good, and it's very nice inside. I had the steak and ale pie, which was very tasty, BUT the meat was sooo fatty 😫 pretty much every mouthful I had to dump the fat into a bowl. The homemade chips were lovely! My husband had the Nduja beef pizza, which I thought was very tasty! But he said I quote 'just tastes like Bolognese on a pizza' all in all the service was good, prices were standard, nice atmosphere and we'd give the food another go if were to go back.

I went for dinner here on Friday evening as a family of 4. Ordered a confit burger and the first bite I took out of it had a large piece of bone in it which cracked my tooth. I had a quiet word with the waitress who offered to refund the burger for me (well I wasn't going to eat it!) and her response was "well we've been serving them all week and not had any issues". After expressing my disappointment she also took 1 drink off of the bill of 4 people. I asked to speak to a manager but the staff said that the owners weren't on site, so they took my details for the owner's of the pub to give me a call which has never happened. Overall a really dissapointing experience which completely ruined our evening out. I'm particularly annoyed that nobody has bothered to follow up in relation to the issues as promised.

Visited our son and family who live in Eckington and they booked a table here for Sunday lunch. Three of the four adults and our granddaughter ordered roasts (the kids meal was not much smaller than the adults serving!) and the other adult had chicken ceasar salad. Have to say portions were generous and we all enjoyed our selections. The young lad who served us on 28/4 was chatty and friendly, as was the cheerful lady who took my payment (she’ll remember me as I asked if they took Amex!) - I knew the discretionary service charge was included in the bill but she still asked if I was aware and happy for it to apply. Great customer service is becoming a distant memory but fortunately still seems alive and well at the Devonshire Arms..👍. To be honest, we would never have come across this pub on our own as we live down south and it’s a bit off the beaten track but in my opinion it’s definitely worth seeking out.

Myself and my husband had date and he booked based on local references Unfortunately it wasn’t great- we waited 20 minutes to place our orders, the starters were okay (daily special), my husband had the daily seafood risotto and I had the chicken bbq burger. His risotto contained mussels - which wasn’t in the description- which he doesn’t like. My chicken burger was Lukewarm and soggy. The fries were way over salted- my husband tried them and he agreed - he couldn’t eat more than a few. We gave this feedback at the end but nothing was really acknowledged He had the brownie dessert which was good . The total was £92 with drinks and service was included- they did ask if wanted to include the service charge At the end of the night one of the servers was eating his snack behind my husband just in front of the toilets. Which is fine but don’t lunch your fingers and then go service customers

Warmly greeted on arrival, and seated promptly. Restaurant busy (I see this as a good sign) but comfortable. Table service was excellent A*. We had the steak and ale pie which came with homemade chips which were to die for, the pie was crammed full of melt in the mouth steak (no fatty bits) and the fish and chips were equally superb. Will definitely return.....well done Gaz and the rest of the Devonshire Arms team, keep up the good work!!!

Rather disappointed with the food. The staff are very friendly and helpful . We both ordered the lamb. One plate was cooked ok and slightly pink but the other overcooked and brown and one piece was about 80% fat. We told the waitress and asked for another piece but they had sold out. That piece should never have left the kitchen. We got a discount on my wife’s dinner but it rather took the edge of what should have been a good birthday meal. Starters were fine and tasty. So what should have been my birthday celebration was last a little flat.

Really enjoyed our meal. The food here is excellent and the restaurant is so lovely. There was a mistake with our booking, we booked our table for 5pm and arrived at 5pm but on arrival we were told we were 30mins late. I completely understand mistakes happen but I wasn’t pleased with how I was spoken to as I felt like I was being told off for being late. There wasn’t a hello, or a nice greeting, the very first words we were met with was ‘we’ve been calling you’. We were rushed to our table, and told we only now have the table for 1hour 30mins. When I originally raised it, the response was laying blame with whoever made the mistake with the computer, but my issue wasn’t with that, it was entirely about the way I was spoken to. They did kindly give us free drinks, and everything was great after that, but the unpleasant greeting did slightly tarnish an otherwise excellent meal.

Visited here for the first time for my 30th birthday, the place was very highly recommended, the serving staff were amazing and very polite the restaurant was clean and modern , the starters were fabulous and very tasty… then the mains come and it just went downhill from there, the meat was cold, sirloin steak was supposed to be medium-rare and came out well done, we sent one plate back and the others didn’t want there food re heating. £14 each for a salad with some hard and dry chicken/salmon, we got both mixed grills knocked off the price but at over £200 for 6 of us with the mixed grills knocked off I personally wouldn’t pay that again for a meal especially when you can get food of same standard from nearby food chains. Such a shame as I’d always been highly recommended the place by several people. Hopefully it’s just an off day. Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience for my 30th birthday surprise meal. Thank you to the serving staff though they were amazing and truly deserve the praise.

Was bought a voucher for Christmas and finally got round to using it. Atmosphere is lovely. Typical upmarket village gastro pub. Had olives and pork crackling to start and both were delicious a d fair priced. I had an Indian burger for main. Was big. I actually had to use a knife and fork to eat it (oh the humanity!) but the flavours were so well balanced. My wife had the vegan burger (with extra bacon and cheese... Im not even lying, she doesn't eat beef) and said it was one of the tastiest burgers she'd ever had. The deserts were a sticky toffee pudding and a cornflake tart with pink custard. Both were out of this world indulgent. Kids meal was great too. Will absolutely return

No room at the inn !! No problem We arrived for our daughters 21st thinking we had booked a table for 6. Sorry sir we don’t have you reserved. Confused I became and realised our own fault we had reserved for a different restaurant with the same name ! The staff could t have been any friendly and more sympathetic and although the welcoming and lovely looking pub was full the wonderful staff raised to the occasion and not only managed to find us a table they found us a table in private dining room which made the occasion even more special The food was excellent and matched the staff friendliness and attention to detail. They even included a free drink for the birthday girl It’s a fabulous restaurant/pub/hotel and has all the charm of a country pub but with the modern comforts and demands of todays diners wants Thank you all and would be delighted to return James

Omg wonderful!! And what a plateful- not just mine, everyone's plat was brimming with deliciously concocted and beautifully presented food. You can tell it's a really popular place by the amount of regulars that came in during my visit and how well the staff new them- and how friendly everyone was. A great find, I'll definitely be back- and free parking right outside too! (And a bus stop very near)

Food menu is very limited. I had a blt which was nice enough my other half had a burger which was again nice enough then we had halloumi fries which for us was way over done. Staff seem friendly enough the cafe is nice and clean.
