Called in as I arrived in Dronfield with an hour to spare before my date, I was welcomed by a very nice young lady that assisted me in making my decision, they had a few beers which I have never heard of and allowed me to have a small taster. As it was early on a Saturday, I wasnt expecting much, there was quite a few people already sat and enjoying their evening. The atmosphere is perfect with a nice feel about the place. I would high;y recommend a visit if you're in the area, you wont be disappointed.

Well when you have 3 real ale pubs within 50 metres it has to be good!? The Dronfield Arms is another " Brew Pub" home to Tempest Brewery. Casta had one of their Pale Ales.. Rear beer decking next to car park to enjoy a sunny south facing summer afternoon. Somebody knew Casta was a relative of Flat Eric, 1990's Superstar. (Now penniless and living with us!) Pub very close to railway station.

2022 update. We went back but I still haven't been inside. The original review still applies. 2019 Great little pub but I only really saw the outside and that was during the beer festival. That alone was an awesome set up (if a touch busy) but has encouraged me to go back in the near future. I'll do another review once I've actually been inside.

Me and friends visited this place yesterday evening after our football session due to the coronavirus we had to order on our phones, not a problem ordered three pints. When we are nearly done a very rude Irish women looked like the landlady came out and said “if the weather continues to rain I won’t be able to come out and serve any more beers in this if it stops I can” never heard anything like this in my life but we accepted anyway 5mins later I order another 3 pints on the application for the same women to come out and say who’s (my name) I said me she stormed upto me and said “what did I say about ordering more beers” at this point it was a good 45mins before this pub closed I said you said if the weather stopped which is had she then stormed off and said no it’s still raining which it was not. The women then went to sit with two lads in the beer garden smoking and drinking herself laughing leaving the bar completely unattended whilst we were there and probably all night. This rude irish women did not want to work there did not care about the pub and what came out her mouth about not serving because of the rain was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in a pub. Such a shame because it’s such a lovely pub, but unfortunately being ruined by a women with no intrest in the place or the customers paying her wage disgusting customer service will not go back she needs the sack ASAP.

Our visit was just so right. On arrival we were warmly greeted by a member of the staff team and taken to the dining area and given very comfortable seating and our drink orders taken. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed, and staff were polite, attentive, and at no time did we feel rushed. Our food was brought over in good time, it was nicely cooked, the portion sizes were well judged, and it was very tasty indeed. We have been so impressed on this visit, that we shall be returning very soon

We visited on November 1st, 2024, and sadly, it was quite a disappointment. While the bar staff did their best, the kitchen service was very underwhelming. By 6:30 PM, they had already run out of the special main menu on the board! The food took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it was subpar. The steak & ale pie was more air than a hot air balloon and hardly had any meat. The crust was burnt and tasted like a heated-up frozen pie. The chips were clearly shop-bought oven chips. This was not the level of service we had experienced before. We left feeling quite disappointed. It seems the place is being sold, and I hope the new owners can bring back some quality!
