The Great Northern in Amber Valley

One of those "friendly" places! Warm, good company and a good selection of local and national beers. Always made welcome. Entertainment at weekends and good food. Brilliant starting place to have a wander around the Langley Mill Canal Basin and canal walks.

Good laugh made to feel welcome nice atmosphere qui night is a real good night out

Great atmosphere, service and real ale selection 🍺 Brilliant pool room 🎱

Warm relaxing friendly great place for food and drink.

Not a bad place for a quick pint and some wings.

Great local pub and friendly helpful staff and guests.

Great pub food amazing and staff are great

Called midweek for a carvery which was very nice, beef was very tender and tasty, nice mashed potato and Yorkshire pudding.

Marvellous food with friendly staff and great value for money

Had a carvers dinner.very nice although not sure if it was proper mashed potatoes.had very strange lumps.staff were nice.will go again

Back open again with great landlord an landlady would recommend a visit.

Proper old school carvery,lovely roasties Yorkshire puddings and meat,really enjoyed our carvery excellent value for money ,so much better than normal chain pub carvery’s and great value too.

Delicious food, didn't have to wait long. Friendly staff. Recommended

Only had a quick pint, early door’s. So can’t really give a review.

Sunday carvery was excellent, good service and good company. A very friendly welcome followed by a wonderful carvery 10 out of 10

Went in on a weekday afternoon, so it was a quieter time. The food was a proper home cooked meal. Delicious and warming! I'm looking forward to returning for the carvery! Had a good selection of different drinks and very friendly staff.

We rang ahead but were NOT informed that we would be wise to book. So, as advised, we arrived before 3pm, to be told that they were fully booked! We had to spend £20 in cab fare, as we both have hidden disabilities, to get dinner elsewhere! Not impressed.

Has a snooker table and quite friendly, polite, helpful staff

Good food, reasonable prices,nice staff,

Nice range of beers . In good condition.

A very large and spacious old pub right next to the canal. The real ales were all great quality and a variety of beers. Food is good and the nearest bus stop just a short walk away if you aren't driving. Nice outside area to the rear as well where you can see the canal.

Nipped in yesterday for a bite to eat after the dreaded shopping trip, to relax and unwind. I was very surprised not to see management about, but the very welcoming bar lady quickly explained they was on a well deserved holiday. Our visit was a enjoyable experience as always. Hence the 4*, down to the lady mentioned above. Our only concern was at times she looked under pressure, while what I believed to be the kitchen staff just sat in the bar area watching on, while loudly gossiping. A little bit of team work would of made this a 5* and a tip being left. As when we asked about the tip system, we were told that the tips are share equally between all staff. Unfortunately in my opinion I work hard for want I have and only one member of staff deserved my tip.

Cozy pub with a cracking little beer garden out the back. Perfect spot for a cheeky pint on a sunny afternoon. Beer is well kept and staff are friendly

Lovely afternoon sat out in the sun by the canal followed by a lovely meal.

Just stopped in on the way back home from a long walk. Sat outside with our dog 🐕 and had a drink. So refreshing after walking 🚶‍♂️

Great and reasonably priced food. Good selection of drinks and lovely outside space next to the canal. Staff are friendly and cannot do enough.

Quite expensive compared to other pubs

Great service from everyone. Refreshing to find a pub where the bar staff enjoy working there and make an effort to help you feel comfortable. Carvery food excellent even the server didn't get tired of saying beef or gammon and made everyone feel welcome. Will certainly be back love Matty, partner, mother and dog! X

One of the best pub meals we've had in a long time. We will definitely be going again soon. Great service 👏

Friendly local style pub. Delicious food Plenty of seating. Limited onsite car parking but spaces nearby.

Friendly atmosphere and location

The food here is absolutly brilliant! I have tried the carvery, the steaks, the burgers and even the 2 for 12 menu and all have been beautiful. Good price good portions and brilliant staff highly recomend especially the sunday and wednesday carverys

Went for Sunday carvery. Lovely food, good beer.Good value, will be back.Very Freindly staff.

Heard the northern was coming under new management this week and decided to give it a second chance after the shocking landlord that was in before. Went in on a Wednesday for the carvery and couldn't believe the difference. Great price and the food was amazing! One of the best I've had in a long time. Wide selection of guest ales, beers and spirits. Absolutely back to its best and will be in again!
