The Jolly Farmer in North East Derbyshire

Good food, good value, helpful staff

Just called for a quick drink 1 of my old locals food looks very good 👍,would definitely give it a go

Fantastic little pub accommodated 14 adults as a walk in group for full English breakfast even though they were short staffed nothing too much trouble for the man who was working will definitely visit again when in the area

Lovely pub x very friendly great selection of food and drinks and a really good soundtrack playing

Just had a lunch. Always good relaxed atmosphere and excellent service.

Very disappointed with service and food. Ordered fish and chips. The fish was very small and batter was so hard ,about 10 chips which were very dry. The portion size was also very small. Did not cover all the plate. It was just slapped onto the plate no prevention.I wish now I had sent it back ,not value for money. Not as could as last time .

Went in the derby tup for the first time since May. Much improved, better range of real ales and the place has been decorated.

Friendly staff lovely atmosphere.

Nice place for a beer and pub grub

Comfortable, friendly pub with great options for kids. But nothing good for vegetarians/Vegans. In the day time there are sandwiches and jacket potatoes. Evening just a fake meat burger. There was a cheese broccoli thing but they had run out. Everyone else was really happy with their meals so likely will go again. But we would be regulars if you have one decent vegi or vegan option.

First time eating here last week, it was a Sunday so I thought it would only be right to order a roast. I ordered the ‘premium’ and I have no idea what was premium about it, it was bland. I believe my expectations for pub food is fair, if they had given me more gravy it may have been easier to eat. I wish I had taken a photo because there was only gravy on the meat, l probably should have given them chance to fix it before writing a review but i’m not one to make a fuss, besides no one asked if it was okay anyhow. The desserts we had were nice at least, like I say I definitely do not have high expectations but both our dishes were not great. It definitely seems like a nice place for locals to come for a drink but food wise I wouldn’t recommend

I had fishchips and mushrooms Stilton melts. It was really great. Price and service were also satisfied. 2 for 14£ meals I would strongly recommend.

Decent pub food. Burger patty was delicious but the bun was far too big for it. Left with 1/3rd of the bread after eating the burger. The stilton and mushrooms were incredible. Highly recommend Decent pub, staff are lovely.

Relaxed atmosphere. Pleasant helpful staff. Plenty of choices on menu plus specials board. Tasty food , cooked to perfection. Large portions. Dont park in main carpark which has unreliable cameras. Park opposite this carpark at side of houses.

Decent cheap boozer food was ok 👍

Great value food, and tasty. Good local pub, super for families

The owner of this restaurant verbally abused an 88 year old woman because she paid for her food but dared to say the peas were cold. This woman is my nan and he told her to shut up before she got a chance to even talk whilst telling her she’s barred for not liking the food. I reiterate she is 88, frail and overall she was scared of this man. This woman never complains and still happily paid for her meal. Never asked for her money back once. I find this absolutely appalling that this man would shout and intimidate a group of elderly women on their own, seems like some kind of sick power trip. Clearly should not be arround people especially vulnerable ones. My nan would eat her monthly with her friends, this often being her only social interaction with her friends and has never complained once, he has petrified her.

Great food that is very reasonably priced. Friendly service.

Friendly staff, great food, lovely atmosphere

A good local with good ale and honest pub grub and good value to boot!

Very busy local pub serving excellent bar food, booking advisable.

Service was very professional and was only surpassed by the food. With food this good you don't need to ask how much it is. Many thanks.

Good value food and attentive friendly service

Came for a carvary dinner. Very good. Staff helpful. No carpark but there is a 2hr free carpark behind.

We both had a special board meal today bacon&liver mash&3Veg Delicious 😋🤤hot and a good portions, good value for money, staff very friendly and polite will definitely be coming again

Lovely place cheap mixed grill on Monday nights 💪🏻

Amazing food. Friendly staff. Fantastic value, and a true country pub feel.

Food is very good . The steak especially is cooked to perfection. Highly recommended

The food was good. The seating was good, and the faint smell of sewage was a little off-putting.

Not been to this pub for over 40 years. I knew it as a teenager when it was the Gorsey Brigg. Inside is completely different now. The food was very good, staff friendly and polite. Recommended.

Been here several times and never had a bad meal, the food is very good for the money you pay. Definitely will keep coming more

Fantastic pub with a great atmosphere, and the best landlords (Ashley and Karl). Always looked after (including kids), great food and drink (reasonably priced). The quiz nights are a must on Tuesdays and Wednesdays 👌

Good choice of food and ales. Friendly atmosphere.

Always amazing food and excellent value for money

Had meal with friend both Happy with the meal, service and drinks.

Fairly priced food and drink. Pleasant staff and the food was very nice.

Very freindly staff, was quiet at the time of visit. Have been many times previously and the service was excellent as always. Slightly disappointed as the meat was a little over cooked on rhis occasion, but the chips etc. were delicious as always.

Lovely food, great service. Definitely recommend

They never answer the phone and manager needs a personality transplant!

Great place to visit, good atmosphere and friendly staff, just be aware of the nearby car park with 24hr charges.

Really nice place, fantastic food Staff are really nice and very helpful

Nice pub. Good staff. Party food is basic buffet but menu looks good. Some good guest ales and ciders 👍🏻

Excellent local pub. Food excellent and reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient service.

Very much a local pub, the food is decent and service depends on how busy it is. The roof is leaking over the bar and had been for weeks. Occasionally will drip in your pint. That aside, it's a nice friendly, local pub.

Not to bad for a drink and a bite to eat.

Nice friendly pub and reasonable prices. Wide variety of food and beverages.

Great pub, great food and good beer. Highly recommended the Thursday grill club

The food here is very good value,and very good food , plenty of it and very tasty. The question always after having a meal is , will I come back? Yes is the answer without doubt.and just to add a bit of dessert to my comments, yes they were good as well . The only drawer back is the off street parking only two hours before you must pay or get a letter in the post. BUT THESE TYPES OF PARKING PLACES MUST BE A PET PEVE FOR EVERYONE. JUST TRY DROPPING SOMEONE OFF AT AN AIRPORT!!!! The JOLLY FARMER is well worth a visit. Well done

Real authentic English pub with good atmosphere, the staff is polite and attentive. If you want to spend a nice evening and experience the pub vibe, don't hesitate, it worth visiting it.

Great pub. I can only recommend it. The staff is fantastic, really friendly.

Not a bad pint, in fact I had 2. Worth a call in 👍

Large pub catering for the community that surrounds it. My first visit in 30 years (when it was the Gorsey Brigg). Cheap and cheerful.

Good food, good prices,plenty of beer choices

Had a very nice meal there. Very good value for money and nice atmosphere

Great food, very busy place. Booking recommended especially for Sunday lunch. Good value for money, nice selection of food and drink. Such a friendly team.

Good food, friendly management and staff, good beer and surroundings. A proper local.

Great, had couple of San Miguel's which were a nice pint. Sat outside and enjoyed the afternoon sunshine at their outdoor tables.

Great food and drink and a pool table

A very enjoyable evening for my dad's birthday celebration. Thankyou to all the staff for a lovely meal and making us feel so welcome

Probably the best mixed grill I've ever had. Everything cooked to perfection. Absolutely amazing needs 10 Stars really.

Great place to eat and very friendly staff

Great breakfast at a great price, and great hoste.😋👍

Dropped in on a Saturday 6pmish quite busy with regulars, could not fault service, food & atmosphere, although not a vast choice the beers on offer were ok and food was hot and plentiful we will try it on a regular basis.

Went in for a wake and was made to feel at home

Lovely food. Will be returning thankyou

Superb. Food delicious all 15 of us 3 course meals all spot on not a plate wrong. Excellent

Always a good meal at the Jolly Farmer! Generous portions at reasonable prices and great service.

Lovely food friendly staff always happy to help

Lovely staff, great food, my favourite place to go for food in Dronfield...

Lovely pub, lovely food. Fantastic on a sunny day

Decent enough food but very tired decor.

Great food at a good price Love this place as its so handy for us

Comfortable suburban pub which met all my Monday lunchtime needs. Admittedly, they comprised 'being open' and serving a nice pint of cask at the difficult hour of first thing in the drinking week. Clearly pulled through and spot on pint of Stancill. Not everywhere gets these things right at the same time. Interested to see gamma ray on draft rather than neck oil. Adventurous! On a good pub bus route

Decent community pub. Justifiably popular.

Decent vegan curry with all the trimmings.

Went there for a Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it, I didn't go traditional but chose the Mexican option, The service was excellent and the food piping hot, Staff were polite and attentive. Would definitely go again.

Rather disappointing. Having read positive reviews about this place, we called to reserve a table. Gentleman on phone sounded rather suprised that I had telephoned and asked to book a table, he was quite rude

Just been for our tea ,10 out of 10 for the food we will definitely be going again ,bit of a wait but was worth it ,highly recommended

Had a lovely meal in a pleasant atmosphere.

Good to see the jolly farmer finally getting some craft beer in. Still a long way to go compared to other local pubs but it's a step in the right direction.

Always good food and friendly staff

I cannot explain how lovely the staff were tonight. The food was tender and lovely and the service was above and beyond would recommend to anyone

Good food reasonable price, good beer and friendly staff. 🙂

Meal with 2 young grandchildren. Good kids menu and we were seated in a semi private booth. Kids loved it want to go again. Good choice of food and table service was efficient.

Lovely pub, great outdoor seating area and the Covid restrictions are being adhered to stringently... very safe for any of you worriers out there.....

Great food and wine, friendly staff and just a nice place to go to relax

Funeral reception. No staff. Covid rules kept changing when trying to get served. Tried to question reasoning but told to get out. Been going for 20yrs plus. That's me done. Bring back Ash.

Always a warm welcome and good value meals

Lunch with my dad very nice food

If I could give no stars I would! AVOID this pub by all costs absolutely disgusting customer service to a disabled man who needed the toilet! Discrimination against invisible disabilities. All my partner needed to do was go to the toilet because he has ruptured disks and can not hold it, this being said my partner did not want to go in the street in public like most men would in this situation. But the staff who work at this pub refused a member of the public (a disabled member of the public at that) to use a public toilet. I doubt a pregnant woman would have been turned away so there is no excuse for this vile and embarrassing ordeal my partner just had to go through!

Well organised. Booked in for covid. Ordered and served quickly

So good to be able to sit outside with a beer or two with friends after lockdown

Excellent table service, fast and friendly

Really enjoyed having a long overdue drink,was seated outside in the sunshine,the host who seated us and took our drinks order was a proper nice and friendly bloke,would highly recommend the Jolly Farmer and I'll be going back soon

The managers and staff are very friendly.

Very welcoming, great staff good food & reasonable price

Difficult at the moment with the need to book a table just to have a drink.

Always accommodating, friendly, made to feel safe and food always great. Can't fault the Jolly 😁

The staff was excellent and the food just as good

Excellent Covid safety measures. Good quality pub food.
