The Duncombe Arms Pub in East Staffordshire

Fantastic service and brilliant food, staff were absolutely faultless and brilliantly attentive. Food was probably 9/10 with the only issue being the lack of vegetarian options. Highly recommend coming here!

We visited for a birthday lunch. There was a good selection of starters mains and desserts. The beef was excellent, with delicious gravy and vegetables. The tarte tasting had to be ordered on arrival and was worth the wait

Simply superb. Beautiful pub/restaurant. Wonderful staff. Very good value Market menu for lunch. Cured salmon starter was excellent, fresh and delicious. Had some of the best Steak Frites for a longtime. TOH highly praised the bream. Petit forts with coffee kept up the general standard. So good we are heading back for another meal in a few days time

We stayed for one night at Duncombe Arms in Walnut House, our only regret was not staying longer. The room was beautifully presented, had a really comfortable bed and step in large shower. We had breakfast and dinner at The Duncombe Arms and it was all so tasty. Fresh baked bread and croissants for breakfast with a choice of home cooked options. Dinner was brilliant, we had lovely fish and chips and a raspberry tart for desert. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and very good with providing allergy information on the food. Would absolutely recommend!

Amazing burger and fish and chips off the bar menu. Made the mistake of ordering some Breads for starter which were also amazingbut the portions are good so choose wisely. Staff super friendly and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for our lovely anniversary petite fors..a nice suprise xxx

We visited for the first time yesterday. The setting is beautiful and building is well decorated. Service was efficient and friendly, and the food was great. I thought portion sizes were generous, and the food was delicious. Very good selection of drinks and it was a nice touch that the menu had a recommended wine for each dish. The price was reasonable and fair for the food quality and location. Lastly, the place has a good vibe. The lay out is very clever as it creates a nice mix of atmosphere in different sections, depending on your mood. I would definitely go again.

Recently recommend the Duncombe to a close friend of mine for her dads 60th and remembered we hadn’t reviewed following our last stay back in May! Weve stayed at the Duncombe on various occasions over the years and loved each and every time but never reviewed. Visited in May for a child free birthday treat for me! Stayed in the junior suite which was spotless and with the most stunning views to the countryside! Our food was exceptional along with the service and wonderful wine recommendations. The breakfast was also perfect! Thank you as always Duncombe arms, we will continue to recommend and revisit! Charlene and Ric ☺️

Such a lovely pub, great setting and interior. However service was dreadful. We were a table of 4 on a Saturday lunch and every drinks order was wrong- diet coke when a normal one was ordered, pint of ale when a shandy was ordered, coffee came and we had to ask for some milk etc. There were lots of other things which just lacked attention to detail for a pub of this standard. The food was also disappointing. I echo other reviews which say the food is poor and is lacking flavour and finesse. I really think they either need to up the quality of the food or reduce the price because it was not worth the £100 price tag we paid per couple.

This was our second visit first was lunch food and service were excellent we decided to return this time for 6.00 pm dinner food excellent service not as good as the first visit but nothing to complain about but OMG never seen so many dogs at a restaurant and not all outside on leaving we had to step over agreat big beast please if you have dogs leave them at home and don’t expect everyone to like them

Booked the table for 7.15 p.m. this evening and we arrived twenty five minutes early. We were not shown to our table until 8 o’clock and our starters arrived at 9.00 p.m.. (over two hours later!). It’s a lovely venue and the menu is very appealing but on this occasion our special occasion celebration was ruined. We only had time for two courses and our bill for four adults was £219 which included 10% service charge. We have enjoyed good meals here in the past but take my advice and avoid Saturday evenings if you are planning to visit. It was our 56th wedding anniversary! Our waitress said that everyone had arrived at the same time which is a bit odd when the booking procedure is so precise!

A birthday nightmare, The Duncombe Arms is quite expensive which would not be a problem if the quality of the food were satisfactory. Tried a rib eye steak, £33.00 for a steak and chips, no trimmings, just steak and chips both of which were of extremely poor quality. I must confess I have never had a ribeye with hard chunks of fat (or bone) embedded in the meat but I have now consequently half of what was served was left on the plate. What was edible, I found to be bland and tasteless. The chips were a challenge to say the least, they were extremely hard and tasted of cooking oil, two of the chips I tried to cut ended up flying across the table, even the steak knife found them difficult to cope with. A mild complaint to the management was treated with complete indifference and ignored. Another in the party had a ‘Cornish sole’ which looked very inviting when served, comments were it was delicious so all did not seem to be a disaster however the sole took its revenge in the middle of the night, the feedback was not so favourable the next day. We do tend to eat out quite a bit and this was supposed to have been a birthday special unfortunately a birthday disaster. Never again, plenty of other good reasonably priced eating places in the area, no need to experience poor quality food and poor customer management.

We booked to celebrate my wife's birthday. On arrival the 4 of us had a drink at the bar before being taken to our table. The service throughout was brilliant from everyone. There is a very relaxed atmosphere at the Duncombe Arms, with a nice "buzz" as you might expect on a Saturday night. Food menu is restricted (but with good choice). The wine menu on the other hand is the size of a small book! Food is very well presented and tasty. Two of the standout dishes were the marmite covered cauliflower and the Sole. We couldn't resist ordering the apple tart (takes 45 mins to cook). We had 2 between us but could have had just one! Overall the food was great, the service exceptional but I resist scoring 5 out of 5 due to the cost ...£300 for 4. I have attached the bill, you can make up your own mind! Well worth a visit

Great ambience, fabulous food and excellent food. Couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back again. I enjoyed the starter and main so much, I had to have a dessert too!

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in a Walnut Barn room and dined in the restaurant both evenings. The room and en suite were very well appointed and had lovely countryside views. All the food was very tasty, but there was a somewhat limited choice for vegetarians/vegans. Overall, we had a very enjoyable couple of days.

We stayed here for three nights celebrating an anniversary. We enjoyed all of it. Food and drinks were interesting and outstanding. Staff were without exception friendly, efficient and well trained. The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped - REALLY comfortable bed. I had misunderstood one feature of the website. I only booked a table for one night as I assumed that the bar menu would be served in a bar and that I would not need to book for that. In fact you can choose from any of the available menus wherever you sit. There is no distinct bar area. Fortunately, space was found for us.

We visiting on Valentine’s Day for a night away and dinner. The tasting menu here is excellent - I wish I’d got more photos. Highlights were the venison (perfectly cooked, beautifully balanced with sweet onion, mustard mash and a red wine and juniper sauce) and the edible chocolate box desert. Their Tempura oysters were perfectly crispy and something I’m going to have more of! The paired wine was one of the best I’ve had, and generous servings too. 👍. Full English breakfast was beautifully presented with the best quality ingredients. The rooms are big and spacious with well appointed bathrooms and spectacular views over the fields. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

For experience vs price i initially wanted to give 2 stars. We'd wanted to visit for dinner for over a year. The menu looked great. A birthday finally provided the opportunity. Great place. Nice location. Well appointed, and warm on a Winters night. Staff were fab. They're the good points. Disappointingly the food was not so good. It all sounded great on the menu - but didn't live up to the hype. All of us thought it was a bit bland. Whisky sauce which may have seen the bottle but not sure about any the contents. Only the smallest splash of gravy to lubricate the suet pudding. Not sure if anything was seasoned. Crepes Suzette that had no hint of any Grand Marnier - and tbh the texture of the crepes was not like homemade ones. Tough Venison. Everything was just....hmmm. And quite small portions. We ate slowly to make it last more than a couple of minutes. So ..... we went home for supper. For £20 at many pubs you can find good grub and plenty of it. Not Cordon Bleu - but you know what you're getting and it can be good. At £45 per head this food did not pass the test and left us unsatisfied and disappointed. Yes - wholesome food - but some way off the mark of hitting the hype. Maybe it was a bad day in the kitchen - but with a bill of £190 - there aren't any excuses.

We stayed one night on our way to visit places further away. The hotel was lovely, the staff very friendly and we were well looked after. The room was fabulous with such a view on waking the next day with the sun rising over the hills. We stayed for dinner, which was good - although could have been a little more upmarket for the cost . All in all though, it was good.

This gastro-pub has been a favourite of ours for a few years, our go-to for special occasions, with superb food that's a bit different, consistently tasty and beautifully presented, and very good service, so I was really looking forward to Friday evening with friends that I hadn't seen for a while. But what a disappointment! To start with, the young waiter totally omitted to ask me and my female friend what we would like to drink while waiting to order, though he had asked the two men and brought their drinks, so we had to call him back. I requested a rhubarb and ginger gin with slim-line tonic, but he brought a rhubarb gin with a bottle of ginger ale!! I pointed out the mistake, and he did replace the mixer, but not the gin, but I let that rest. Three of us ordered the pate-en-croute with pickles starter, but it was just a thin slice of what looked like terrine in a rather uncrusty crust with a few gherkins etc and some very sharp mustard. The "pate", more like pork pie really, was bland and tasteless. The lamb shank meal was ok, but far from as special as I had become used to at this establishment, and I wouldn't have known there was any whisky in the sauce if I hadn't read the menu. The dessert, a chocolate mille-feuille with sorbet, was also tasteless and very ordinary. On previous occasions, the owner has visited each table to check on how the meal was, etc, but we didn't see him once, so I do wonder if the place has changed hands again, or if there is a different chef. The owners had been hoping to achieve a Michelin star, and on earlier experiences I would have said they totally deserved it, but not going on this meal and service. After this latest experience, we won't be rushing back again, sadly.

Just wow again. Been coming here since it was reopened and it just gets better and the staff are trained to such a high standard so nothing but applause all round 👏

Arrived at this pub with family and unfortunately was not made to feel welcome . Manager / male waiter was impolite which ruined the atmosphere and enjoyment of the food. .

Thought we would call on our way back from golf for a drink, just the four of us. We had two glasses of wine, two pints and two bags of crips - £39.50. We queried this as we assumed she had put the drinks in twice but no it was correct as the wine was £11.50 per glass. I really do not object to paying a high price for a glass of wine if the wine is memorable but sadly this was run of the mill stuff and left your palette as quickly as I have known. Neck Oil was nearly £7 per pint. Whilst it has a nice interior we will not be returning as alternative local pubs offer much better value for a better drink.

We stayed and ate at the Duncombe Arms for my wife’s birthday. Excellent room and the dinner was delicious! The staff team were great and overall service/attention was pitched right for the type of property and what they are looking to achieve. Breakfast was great too, nice selection of “extras” to help yourself to and the hot dishes were superb quality. We will return!

Delicious dining, very comfortable seating. Excellent staff. Great value for the quality of the service & stylish surrounding.

Booked in for an overnight stay with dinner, bed and breakfast. Isnt it great when a venue exceeds your expectations. Form the moment we arrived the service was superb - personal, efficient and genuine - and from every member of staff. The food and drink was superb, both dinner and then breakfast. The room was great, warm, great views, well equipped and comfortable. Will be back for sure.

Visited several times previously, but on this occasion I was disappointed, the starter with poached egg was cold! The main course wasn't as hot as it should have been, the dessert was fine. Service was slow but adequate. Not VFM.

Absolutely excellent, the food, service and wine was second to none. The menu for the Christmas period is excellent and the taste just outstanding for the starters, mains and desserts. The red wine choice (2003 Bordeaux) was superb.

The Dunk is still worth a detour, despite the many performative punters who gravitate here. Well considered menus and wine list, where value can be found amongst the pricier options. Nice to see a talented chef offering fantastic taramasalata for a fiver…and some of the best gougere you’ll taste outside France. Give me a buckets of both. Constructive criticism offered - watch yer loos, which are at risk of becoming a little too french (on the nose), the tiring decor, and the poor buggers who get the table in the corridor (not us).

We absolutely love the Duncombe arms, its friendly atmosphere and amazing staff make for a great night. The food we had was exceptional and very affordable. We also stayed in the Walnut house and the rooms were perfect in every way.

We ate here last night, a group of seven of us. The food was very underwhelming for the price, no seasoning, no vegetables served or offered when we ordered. I would not recommend this to anyone I'm afraid , save your money and go elsewhere. Only one vegan option on the menu. I had the sole which was breaded whole with the bones in, it was very dry and tasteless. I've heard so much hype about this place but it was disappointing food especially for the money they are charging. My mum had the pork which was very fatty.

We were gifted a voucher for a meal here and what a beautiful meal it was . The food was exemplary as it always is here ,the ribeye steak is always perfectly cooked from my personal point of view . The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed,and the staff were really attentive but not over bearing . We were even given some lovely chocolates on a decorated “happy anniversary plate”truly . Highly recommended x

An excellent venue for lunch or dinner. We went to celebrate a birthday and were delighted with the birthday surprise. The mussels and cheese souffle were outstanding. The venison sausage and mash were very good with an exceptional chutney. We did not notice that there were no vegetables included and wish it had been pointed out when we were ordering as a meal without vegetables is rather odd and lacking balance! We loved the decor and ambience and the staff were good. It was pretty good value for the standard of food. We will return.

Overall a lovely gastropub experience. Pleasant ambience and a beautiful setting. The menu was really exciting and our party of 6 sampled lots of starters and mains. We reflected that it was on, on the whole, very tasty but lacked the wow factor you’d hope for from that price point. Service was reasonable but felt like they were busy.

An absolute gem. Despite not having a reservation for lunch on an obviously very busy day, we were very warmly welcomed and accommodated at a suitable table. The food was worth every penny. Yes, some of the menu may be more expensive than some are used to paying but the quality of ingredients, service and surroundings easily made it worthwhile. We loved the relaxed vibe from the experienced, knowledgeable and professional staff. For those with limited mobility there is a ramp from the carpark to the bar and also a separate one for the restaurant. Even if you have to make a big detour, do try out this restaurant. We can't wait to go back, but 5 hours plus drive each way means we may have to wait a while.

Absolutely superb meal and very attentive staff. Will definitely visit again. Can highly recommend the ribeye steak and sticky toffee pudding

Great service, very attentive and made to feel very welcome. Good that menus could be mixed. Food was of a high standard and lots of choice. Scallops are a must. Definitely be back.

What an amazing place! The room was stunning, bathroom and shower fab, clean and quiet, with beautiful views over the Staffordshire countryside. The staff were friendly and attentive, just the right balance. The public areas had a great atmosphere, were cosy and beautifully designed and the food was delicious. Both breakfast and lunch were perfectly cooked, tasty and obviously using quality local ingredients. This is definitely going to be our new bolt hole! Thank you and see you soon x

We really loved our stay here. The service was excellent and the food well-deserving of the Michelin bib gourmande accolade. There is a comprehensive wine list to suit all tastes and pockets. Breakfasts were delicious as well, and I especially appreciated the croissants. Both in the evening and at breakfast, menu choices were perhaps a bit more limited than we have had at other places, but the quality of everything meant that didn't matter. The accommodation had everything we wanted (including fresh milk) and was quiet and very comfortable.

This was a fabulous setting for a meal, and it was lovely to be in the open air on a lovely warm evening. I liked the throws on the chairs in case it got chilly. The menu had a good range of choices and the food was phenomenonal. Literally one of the best meals we've eaten. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. We will definitely return when we come back to the Peak District.

Had fab late afternoon drinks and birthday dinner with family. Even when it got a little busy on Friday afternoon, the beers kept coming, the service was faultless. Dinner was as good as could possibly be expected with special mention for the steak and the pithivier. We stayed over in one of the new rooms, with a lovely view. Top marks for the breakfast. Some of the recent reviews on here have been really, really awful - they bear absolutely no resemblance to what we saw. I can only assume that these are competitor bots, made seemingly believable through dreadful grammar and poor spelling.

We visited on a Friday evening with friends and were greeted by a very well dressed host (he set the tone for the evening). We had not visited before but on first appearances we knew we were in for a good evening. The stylish host made us feel extremely welcome, it can be quite intimidating arriving at a very busy establishment but the young man put us at ease ushering us through the busy crowd straight to the bar where we were served and looked after immediately by the bar team, we felt like VIPs! We had a few fantastic cocktails and some very well kept beer I may add and were then shown to our table by a very pleasant waitress. The amazing service was equally matched with amazing food, we were not rushed and each course came out at a nice pace. Yes, the prices are high here but I firmly believe you get what you pay for and that was the case here. We will definitely be returning!

Absolutely amazing service and food. Our favourite place to go and never fails to blow us away. James and Amelia looked after us tonight so we were in good hands. Amazing…. Highly recommend

We stayed at The Duncombe Arms for 2 nights , bed , breakfast and dinner . The room was stylishly furnished and decorated , very comfortable and had great views .There was also a small outside space with a table and chairs , which was great as the weather was hot . We really enjoyed our evening meal , the food was well cooked and of high quality, I had a wonderful pork chop one night and cod loin the next . They obviously have great food suppliers . The service was welcoming and well judged . The pub had a tidy outdoor space , great for an afternoon drink . All in all we had a great stay and would book again if we are in the area. My only criticism of the whole experience was that the mirror in the bathroom was aimed at six footers rather than those us of nearer 5ft ! Thank you Duncombe Arms

Smashing weekend at the Duncombe Arms. Beautiful rooms, great food and fabulous staff. Thank you Laura and your team for a memorable stay.

Delightful lunch today at Duncombe Arms. Staff were wonderful, surroundings really pleasant and food absolutely delicious. I’m told the raspberry soufflé was out of this world. I had to make do with an espresso martini cause my Cornish sole had filled me up. Highly recommended.

Fabulous all the way! From the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left / welcome, service, food, atmosphere all so so good,
