The Manor at Brampton in Chesterfield

If you have booked a 'heated pod' don't bother as they are freezing. The pods have all of the sides open so are open to the elements and aren't not warm in the slightest. The 'heater' only emits minimal heat and keeps switching off. The drinks take an age to come out and although the food was nice we weren't brought any cutlery or sauces. My friend's order was also wrong but they didn't do anything about it. The wine is over priced at £20 for a bottle which you can get in other pubs for less than a tenner.Safe to say won't be returning.

We booked a heated pod (which cost £20 & doesn’t come off the bill at the end) and the pod was far from heated. The plastic cover was rolled up halfway and the heater was a pathetic plastic thing with a picture of a fire on it. It was freezing! Service was very slow and they ran out of the wine that we were drinking. The owner of the place served us and had a really greasy personality. The food came in cardboard boxes and served with wooden knife and forks. It was awful! I have emailed a complaint and they haven't even had the courtesy to reply to me! Never again!

Originally booked an Igloo before the current lockdown to have drinks with friends. Understandably this wasn't able to go ahead as went into lockdown. Was advised would be added to priority transfer list for when reopened, this never happened.All emails completely ignored, nobody answers the phone, finally received a message on social media after posting a public complaint. Was told I'd receive a refund the next day, still waiting. Chased up daily and constantly ignored.They are only responding to new booking queries and keeping/stealing money from original bookings which weren't able to be used. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat customers. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. They label themselves as "Chesterfield's favourite place" what a joke, I'd rather take my chances at a Wetherspoon's than risk being ripped off by these again.

Excellent meal, Gut said he was proud of his gravy, he should be. Well cooked meals, all very tasty and plenty of it. Beef tasted amazing and a nice selection of vergetables. Great value and will defintaly have one again.

Went here last week for the take away service. Nice to see somewhere offering something a bit different. Definitely recommend the beef burger. Absloute unit of a burger, gorgeous pretzel bun and the sauces are top quality! Bang on the money thanks a lot. Will order again for sure!

We have been here on 3 occasions sice the new managerment took over and new staff in the kitchenWe have had various menus and can honesrly say that the food has been excellent.. Great variety and something a bit different.Just a shame Covid lockdown arrived.Cant wait for the re opening

Came here yesterday for Afternoon Tea, nice to see the 5 star rating displayed. Looks like the Manor is back on track after a recent change in management and the food quality clearly matches that. Looking forward to our next visit for Gin High Tea.

just seen this shocking? wow! dont go food poor need to inprive asap! shocking. a place like that im thinking 5

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my daughter and both had treatments in the beauty rooms, excellent value for money and would definitely go again

First impression......not good at all...,.

We went for the supper with Santa, and what a let down the whole experience was ,service was awful waited around 50 mins was seated on a table that was meant for 2 but had 4 of us squished even though there was 2 empty tables , asked to be moved but no one ever came back to us on that , was told there was no sauce for one of the meals , mains came out before the starters !! Decided to not have starter but then the mains were just terrible frozen vegetables with one meal , no vegetables (let alone seasonal) with what was meant to be hunters chicken but was dry chicken with bbq sauce chucked over it with bit of grated cheese and frozen chips , the child’s meal had already been pre paid at £15 which included 2 course meal (didn’t receive pudding) story with Santa which was in a very tired room and a 50p selection box in my opinion not good value for money the list of complaints is a lengthy one but these mentioned are just a few . Even though none of the meals were eaten staff were only willing to give us a 10% discount off the bill however this was not satisfactory and the manager was unwilling to come out and discuss the issues but after lengthy dispute with the waitress the manager then sent her to us to tell us we didn’t have to pay , I am not one to complain and definitely not one to try and get a free meal but the point was none of us had eaten and left still very hungry DO NOT EAT HERE

We asked about booking a meal here for a group of 5 friends whom haven’t all met for 20 years.We were told that the kitchen closed at 6 pm on Monday nights , however if we gave £10 deposit and left our number we could arrive at 6pm and the kitchen would be open.We left the deposit and my mobile number.We arrived at 17.45 to find the place in darkness.We phoned and left a message which hasn’t been returned.We are extremely disappointed as at the moment I am £10 out of pocket, some of the party have travelled a significant distance , one person finished work early and at this time of year everywhere is busy so we would have booked elsewhereIf we knew they couldn’t provide a service.It would have been courtesy to phone and let me know they were unable to oblige as I am now out of pocket, upset and hungryAnd they have put a dampener on what was supposed to be a lovely evening

Dont go appalling cant even bring hot soup soup out after 40 minute wait luke warm. Steak sandwich was apparently why took so long really well big lumps of rare steak so doesnt add up.Unfortunately friend booked afternoon tea day after didnt want to go .Ignore the picture its doorstep multi grain bread dry as sticks no butter because according to the manager people dont like butter on their bread . So there u have it folks being doing it wrong for years.So one offering was dry bread with a sprinkle of grated cheese are we back in Dickensian times Oliver Twist.Second turkey chunks smothered with cranberry sauce.Third wet smoked salmon .Soggy crisps because put on top of salad Rock hard scone had to cut crust off it and ate less than half of it.Few cakes which i didnt eat friend got box took them home her choice.My friend doesnt like cranberry so asked for replacement and butter for the dry sandwich plus cucumber on cheese at least . Even thicker builders sandwich appeared from chef ! Could do with lessons how to cook bread on top of cooking and presentation. Pot of margarine appeared and then time lapse I could have cooked a meal before cucumber appeared. There was no chutney or any accompaniments of which cranberry sauce should have been served separately.I was not going to review because I thought why bother the staff if you can find one like Marie celeste behind that bar cant be bothered so why should I. The chef and front of house woman are useless the place is going further downhill. Such a shame it was rammed a few year ago . Why does the Fox and Goose work so well Craig and the Manor is a fail.Meal that was booked for four was cancelled and off to Coco because we darent risk chef ill no food or cold food undercooked food. Basically bad food bad service.

Been coming to the manor for a few years but after tonight will not be coming again !The food was absolutely disgusting.my daughter orderedPrawn linguine but as she doesn’t like pesto she asked for it without , so she got pasta and cold prawns no sauce !, asked for some tomato sauce was told it would take 45 mins as it’s cooked from fresh what a joke .she ended up adding tomato ketchup , We also ordered a Mannor platter and a burger which clearly stated it came with onion rings but didn’t come with them , the platter was greasy and the chicken was so tough , we also had pie which was dry and burnt and the gravy looked like it was made on Sunday. The waitress was unbelievably slow and rarely smiled offered us 10% discount on our order wow all £5. Would I recommend this place no I wouldn’t .. gone down hill and going further rapidly

Booked for 9 people. No table ready. They got a table ready. It wasn’t busy but table cramped in. After 15 mins went to ask if we could order. 5 mins later they came. Got to carvery had to wait for plates to be cleaned. Carvery rubbish. Worst I’ve had. Mash lumpy no butter in. Veg so hard you couldn’t cut or eat it. Gravy as thin as water. Cheese sauce as thin as water. Bland. The food and sauces all need filling up. The place also looked like it needed a clean. Wouldn’t recommend.

Filthy play area. I would normally just mention this to the place at the time but this is inexcusable. Used sanitary towel in play area and broken equipment.

I arrived with my wife for an impromptu lunch at 12:00. I ordered a smoked salmon and prawn salad and a club sandwich.....Not too taxing one would think! 48 minutes later lunch arrived with no apology despite only 2 other tables being occupied. Tbe salad was firstly luke warm and consisted of what can only be described as sandwich salmon and 11 shrimps with 1 quarter of a cherry tomato. The club sandwich was floury with unbuttered bread. I asked for black pepper to be informed that they only have ground pepper despite offering a grill menu .... surely customers ordering steak would like black pepper!!! Very disappointed and will Not be returning!!!!

Been a regular for years enjoyed many a sharing board and prosecco on fizz friends friday.But now what happening with the menu everytime you go its altered or they bringing out yet another one. It still shows the old menu to add to the confusion when arrive with friends. So yet again limited menu so decided to have a prawn cocktail which when it eventually came hardly a complicated dish. Consisted of prawns in sauce and lettuce leaves no cucumber no tomato and also no crispy lettuce.Club chicken sandwich with pesto sounds good. In reality dry bread with pesto sunk into it no butter and overdone chicken fillets not cut up nothing.Where was lettuce tom and actually bacon.A club sandwich is three slices of lightly toasted bread with filling spread between.Could not cut the sandwich bread dropped to pieces and chicken so dry could not eat it so Sent it back . Still hungry as had ate barely anything so looked at least complicated item or god knows how long be sat there. Went for pate with toast and came with lots of pate one slice of toast? So had to ask for another slice . But I did spot cucumber in the salad which would have been nice in prawn cocktail. Seriously common sense needed before food sent out. I dont think I would want to either wait for or risk the main courses when prawn cocktail and sandwich seems to complicated.

Arrived for our 5.30pm booking for a carvery for seven people to be told they had run out. Apparently they had tried to call three times but ‘no response’ to tell us of this, the phone hadn’t rang any of the times which I find a massive coincidence. Staff were apologetic in words but not attitude or actions. They relied on the fact that they had told us on booking they couldn’t guarantee a roast, when in fact the conversation inferred that if we didn’t get a carvery we would have a roast plated up. Not acceptable at all, especially with young children part of the bookings. Front of house need some training in customer service! Sadly won’t go back

Had a lovely time in the spa, went straight to restaurant after at 12.15pm, asked for menus immediately, were told they were just being printed off, asked again 10 minutes later to a different member of staff with the same response, and after waiting over 20 minutes just for a menu with a heavily pregnant member of the group we decided to move on, such a shame as would have rounded off our lovely morning being able to have lunch there. Girl on bar was lovely but shame they lost our custom

Lunch time sandwich treat with daughter. She chose Chicken club with chorizo on white, they had no chorizo - had to have bacon. I ordered cheese with red onion and tomato chutney. Paid at bar. When recieved sandwich it was dry cheese with raw onion on. No chutney, no explanation no apology! Had to go back into bar and ask. They didnt have any chutney. Got a bit of sliced tomoto instead . Could have made better at home. So disappointed.

Really disappointed with today’s carvery. We booked a table and arrived just after 5pm, there was barely any food left and what was left was just dregs! The cabbage was brow and the Yorkshire’s were cremated and there was barely any potatoes or veg left. If you advertise as having the carvery available til 6pm at least make sure there is still plenty of fresh food! We still paid full price even though the quality was rubbish. Not impressed.

Absolutely fabulous night at Brampton Manor for my retirement party. Staff couldn't do enough, Tony and Pat on the disco were fantastic, did was lovely and they did exactly what they said they would do. Even better there was no venue hire cost. The building and driveway to the venue are superb. Thank you team for putting on a great night for me.

Had a great party (baby shower) here for 12 friends.

Black lad behind bar was quality. Really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Don’t understand the bad reviews.

We decided to go out for Christmas dinner for the first time due to personal circumstances and was hoping it would be special. Friends had suggested Brampton manor was over priced but I never expected for £60 each the tiniest portion of prawn cocktail which was defrosted small prawns and a bit of iceberg for starter. Main was good but carrots and sprouts hard. Profiteroles just ok - Xmas pudding however just came with custard rather than brandy sauce as promised. Worst thing was there wasn’t even any Christmas crackers which was such a let down as just as if we had a normal lunch but 3 times the price. Also we were not allowed a mince pie either because apparently these were only only available Christmas Eve without paying extra. We did get a free round of drinks to makeup for this mess but it was probably the worst Value for money ever especially when u want to make it magical for ur children. Won’t visit again and put us off totally from eating out for Xmas dinner again - a total waste of£200 stay away at Christmas

We walked to the Manor, as we are local, to celebrate me retiring. Just husband and I and a sharining platter. We chose one each and so were not elaigible for the £10 bottle of plonk- so we settited for a 'house' shraz, £16,95p ! A bit steep but tasted good. The food came and was beautifully presented on a wooden platter, a basket of white bait, some scampi fries, x2 homemade battered cod coujons , tartar sauce, rocket and lemon wedges. Hubby had the tapss plate, equally as good. Fresh well cooked and hot, served with a bowl of oven cooked wedge potatoes at £9.95 a piece very nice. What was not very nice was the table of 15 'derbyshire men' effing and jeffing very loudly on the next table. Now no-one objects to people having a christmas do, and I am not sensative toswear words as I work with builders, but out for a meal in a restaurant, \i do not excpect to share the room with the most foul language going. there is a time and plkace, and a restaurant in mixed company is definately not it. It got worse and worse and louder and louder, effing this and effing the w....ker word came out. again and again. Mid meal I had had enough. I got up and collared someone behinfd the bar and said ' excuse me , I am trying to enjoy my meal and the language is too much ! They apologsed and said they would ask them to tone it down. My point being they should have noticed the foul language before- they probably did, they chose to ignore it because they were happoy with the profit they were making. I think they should realise they are alienating the majority of atronage if they dont take a firm hand on derbyshire louts. Ambience is a money maker. take note.

We booked a table at the Manor as we had enjoyed our previous visits. We were met on arrival by a very pleasant young lady and shown to our booth in the main bar. We each ordered platters. My wife had the sea food and I chose the tapas option plus a bottle of wine. The centre of the room, by the bar had a long table at which a dozen or so men were drinking and being served with food. Judging by the noise they were making, the drinking had been going on for some time and by the time our food arrived the animated 'conversation' was at shouting level and featured four lettered obscenities constantly. My wife eventually went up to the bar to complain. However the staff seemed to consist of two waiting staff, both young females who seemed powerless to intervene. There was clearly no management in evidence. We finished our meals and left as soon as we could. We won't be going back. If the Brampton Manor wants to attract yob customers. That's up to them.

£25 per head for a table full of stodge.

Just returned from the tea with Santa experience. Was excellent. Kids loved it. Food was good. Very attentive staff and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening. Good value and nice pint!

I live local and continue to give the Manor a try. However, I am yet to be impressed. In the summer we had “no plates”, “no glasses”, “no ice”. This evening’s visit was as good as ever. I booked a table and explained I had a baby, with a pushchair with me. I was asked if the side bar was ok because there was a private function in the other side. This would be ok if the party in question had not been a band which was very busy and blocked the exit. We had to leave via the kitchen. No apology was offered. The only excuse was that they didn’t know that there was a band on.? The Fox and Goose (in the same group) appear to get everything right. Brampton Manor continues to disappoint. This will be our final visit. What a shame!

Spent the most of our Sunday, had 'snug' to ourselves, sunday carvery was lovely and the staff amazing. They catered with ease to our 3 vegans and one gluton free requirements. The ladies carrying out our treatments were excellent. The receptionist/manager couldnt do enough for us and the waiter was friendly and efficient. Cant compliment the staff enough, they made the whole day a pleasure. Only slightly frustrating in that the leisure facilities are at the other end of the building, but this did not deter from our experience. As a group of 9 with different needs it was a great day and one to be repeated, soon

We are' bewtween cooker' at the moment so decided to try Sunday lunch at the Manor which is just a short walk from our home. Turned out to be a good Idea. We used to visit on a regular basis but haven't been since it changed hands,

There were 15 of us that came for a pre-ordered breakfast as a part of my son's 1st b'day celebration. The breakfast was brilliant and the waiting team was really helpful.

Visited in a party of 11 for Sunday lunch. Warm welcome. Excellent service. Superb carvery. Great value for money. Nice thick sliced meat. Lovely freshly prepared vegetables. Can't wait to go again. Would definitely recommend. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Quite a traditional pub but served an excellent Afternoon Tea - probably one of the best we've had anywhere.I

Visited with my family at 4.30pm on Saturday. Initially they served my 10 year old child a cocktail instead of a mocktail. Luckily it was spotted early after her complaining it tasted awful.

Booked a meal with my family and absolutely loved it , brill bouncy castle and kids play area to keep the kids entertained, fabulous food and the Calvery is brilliant and fresh! Staff were friendly and helpful and the menu was perfect. Overall a really good meal and not too pricy either!

First of all £3.50 a pint and secondly decent fish and chips. Thirdly service was quick, polite and friendly topped of with a nice atmosphere and a sunny day / yes please.

I am just reviewing my food and the service in this review as I know that others in the party did enjoy their food.My family and myself ate out here for a Sunday lunch. With the others opting for a Carvery and myself Fish and Chips.

1 out of the four dishes was edible two burgers that we had were dryer than gandi's flip flop and tasted like they was cooked last week and partner had a salad swapped Parmesan for cheddar and the sauce was over powering and was all stork complained to staff and they wasn't interested at all to the point of nearly arguing with me will never go back the crazy thing is I'm not fussy at all it was terrible and staff was just as bad as the food

Yes this is Chesterfield not London!! £5.50 a pint,bartender had as much life in him as my dead dog!I when questioned if the price was correct I got a half hearted "yeah" ,won`t be in any rush to go back there!

We have just moved to the area and wish we had found this place sooner! From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome by the polite waiting staff and the place has such a friendly, cosy vibe with the fire burning. Drinks orders taken straight away and there was a great choice of draft beers as well as a selection of wines and non alcoholic options. We took my 18 month old who loved sitting in the booth with us. There was plenty of spaces to take her into when she wanted a wander, including a big wooden play frame and bouncy castle in the back that she enjoyed.

Having read the reviews prior to our visit...... I have to say I wasn't hopeful for a good day out. We booked here for a Spa day birthday treat, and I was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing.

I attended my works Christmas do on 15th December. There were 31 of us in total with another branch of our team there (16 in their party totally 47 altogether). The food was served disproportionately late (even though it is accepted that some members of our team were late to arrive - three of which were actually stuck at the bar trying to get served). The food was cold. The veg ridiculously under-cooked. The meat and mash were quite nice. The flooring in the marquee is dangerous. The heating system inconsistent either blowing out blasts of hot or cold air. If you were seated nearer to the system you smelt paraffin. The disco was a joke. Cover versions played for most part and the DJ was atrocious. The staff charge as they please at the bar. The ladies toilets are disgusting. If I could give this review a 0 I would but I have had to give it a 1. Having subsequently complained to the venue via their website to which I initially had no response I have been in contact with Mr Lynch and what a delight he is!!! Very rude and disrespectful over e-mails - please also see some of his replies to reviews on here and you will get the point. Refuses to address the complaints and refused a full refund which has left us now issuing a forming complaint letter under the Consumer Rights Act. No doubt we will not get a response nor our money back. 47 people will now never attend this venue again. I have put this review on here to warn other people. Family and friends will also be notified. It was the worst Christmas meal I have ever attended in 20 odd years!!

I arranged my works christmas party (from the local hospital) to come to Brampton Manor and we all were looking forward to it. We were told to arrive for 8 as the meal was to be served 8.30 sharp, it wasn't. The food was awful with one of the guests saying in the 40 years of Christmas parties he had attended this was the worst. We were seated in a Marquee with a flooring that was at best very wobbly at worst dangerous. It was freezing cold unless you were unlucky enough to be sat roasting next to a storage heater. No tables were cleared after for the dance floor and you were shunted into a tiny space next to the bar ( where several other Christmas parties were) if you wanted to dance. The smell of paraffin from the heaters was over powering. I submitted a complaint and I never heard anything back. My colleague who was also there on the night with her team submitted one also and received rude and disrespectful replies even going so far as to be insulting of the NHS in general. Believe the shocking reviews, I'd rather go to Macdonalds than eat here.

I called in for a drink with a friend, quite lunch time, stood at the bar 10 mins no staff, popped head round corner to see staff all talking and on phones asked to be served got a few grunt, 15 mins later one comes by... yes finally a drink,.... no she's busy someones coming she says. another 10mins pass nobody after asking several times, we decided to leave and spend our money else where, on leaving the girl who was to busy to serve us was outside smoking and on her phone.

Overall very friendly staff and a nice venue tucked away in Brampton. However, the food did not match the surroundings. It was a plain menu compared to others in the town and poorly cooked. The sprouts on the Christmas lunch were inedible - they were so hard they could not be cut with a knife. The natchos starter was just a mass of over cooked cheese on tortilla. One member of staff had a burger and chips which looked good and was enjoyed. Perhaps the 'chef of the day' should stick to cooking fast food!

Took one of my service users for christmas day. Booked for 4.30. There was what i can only describe as disorganised chaos. Lots of people coming in an just standing around waiting, possibly result of overbooking. No tables being cleared, an rubbish all over the...

We have just returned from Brampton Manor having had a family meal, eight of us in total. Table booked for 2.30pm meal ordered took over an hour to arrive. Potatoes cold, fries cold, roast beef more like shoe leather. Presentation very poor, room also cold fire at one end but throwing no heat out. Log fire at other end not on. Few Christmas decorations and no music. My first and without a doubt last visit.

Booked a Fizz Friday for 6 of us and was only told on arrival that they didn't do them anymore. Instead they offered a three course meal. The idea was Fizz and nibbles so we didn't really want a huge meal.

We went for Xmas lunch but have to say .... disappointed. Obviously booked too many people, poor staff run off...

Booked in for family Xmas meal. Timing aplauling and waited 2 hours for main courses. Be better to do less...

We had a fabulous festive works lunch here. Can highly recommend the fish finger sandwich and the yorkshire pudding wrap....

We attended my husbands works christmas outing approx 30 of us, we were in a freezing cold tent with car fumes drifting in. I had no cutlery was"nt brought any when I asked. Starter was minute, we had eaten the meat before we got our veg, only 2 small dishes for our whole table, no gravy, the brussels not cooked could not cut them, I was supposed to have chocolate bomb for desert it was the smallest piece of chocolate orange cheesecake ever. We payed £75 for this what a huge disappointment we went home hungry shall never go again.felt sorry for the staff.

Nice staff, hard working and professional but for £35 the meal was crappy, sat in a marquee which was either red hot or freezing cold depending on whether door was open. Naff all on the plate. Veg not cooked. Would get zero if it wasn’t for the staff. Hang your heads in shame for £35 per head. I’ve worked hard all year and i feel a little robbed to have given my hard earned cash to you guys. Put some effort in and put some more grub on the plates and cook your vegetables properly.

Having eaten here before, a friend, her daughter and i decided to have a get together before Christmas, with food. The venue was empty when we arrived which didn't add to the ambiance. Three of us were eating, and ordered 3 diet Cokes before choosing food. These tasted a cross between Cherry Cola/Dandelion and Burdock and washing up liquid? When we questioned this, we were informed that the Cola is 'mixed up in the back'My friend and I ordered the Turkey dinner and her daughter had turkey fajitas.Reaching for the cutlery, the ceramic pot had a broken base and said knives and forks all fell through the bottom. I then had to select the cleanest of such as some still had food on them from previous diners!Food arrived promptly, and of the 2 white pots on the table, my friend discovered they were both filled with pepper, luckily she had the foresight to sprinkle it into her hand first. Brussel sprouts? well, not only were they hard as marbles, but they had a taste ive never encountered when eating vegetables. They were all left to the side. No cranberry sauce/jelly...or offer to bring any. The turkey fajitas were basically turkey from the dinners, sprinkled in some kind of seasoning and heated further. The turkey itself was rubbery and appeared to have been previously frozen.I decided to risk a dessert and ordered Chocolate Orange truffle, which to be fair was a rock hard triangle of cocoa with hardened cream swirl atop.I was extremely disappointed, particularly with the advertising the venue does and the reputation and standards it has had in the past. I am not a moaner by any means, but it was a catalogue of things that made the whole experience expensive and unpleasant. We made the decision to not return and will look elsewhere for our meet ups. On the plus side, the waitress/bar staff were attentive, even though she explained she had to be shown how to make a Mocha 'in the back'We did voice our concerns regarding the meal....we were given a feedback form to complete.

went here for lunch having had two BA flights cancelled and driving in the ice and snow all night. Then there it was - a quiet and calm pub like setting with a good festive ale and a very tasty burger and fries and very friendly service - relax and off to the airport to try again tomorrow. - A lovely find on my doorstep.

Went to friends daughters hen do on 30th September lovely evening with exceptional food all served hot for all 26 of us the staff were excellent and very helpful they also had a birthday do in the other room and coped very well I have eaten here many times but would say one of the best meals I have had Louise was excellent on the night to

My Husband and I live local to The Manor at Brampton, and as a result find ourselves attending on a regular basis. The food is always excellent, of exceptional quality and piping hot as it should be. The staff are friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. The setting is perfect all year round, but as the weather gets colder the fire if perfect. A fantastic place to have a nice meal and a few drinks after a long week at work. We also attend when we can for breakfast, sometime even after the night before! no matter when we go there is nothing I could ever criticise.

We decided to call in pn the spur of the moment.The food was fantastic and the staff were really helpful and friendly.

Friday night dinner with friends, two of us ordered the beef and spinach curry from specials board, when arrived around 2 spoonfuls of curry not 1 piece of beef !! Masses of plain rice was horrendous so sent back, in the meantime rest of party had finished their meals which were not great either ! Ours came back with a few lumps of what can only be described as dried pre-frozen meat would not feed it my dog very disappointed and would not consider returning - our waitress on the other hand was exceptional totally wasted here !

Had a fantastic day, spa and treatments, lunch could not have been bettered, polite and friendly staff, good selection of food, I can recommend the fish finger sandwich. Lovely girls in the treatment area, nothing was to much trouble, will definitely be visiting again.

Came here after being let down by another pub, but so glad we did. Each had a sandwich which were excellent. Lovely seating area outside. Staff were an absolute credit they couldn't do enough for us. We also had a slice of gin and tonic cake after which was amazing! Will definitely be returning.

We came along having booked a table to find there was not a single person in the place. We sat down and ordered drinks to be told there was no more San Miguel after 15 minutes and had to order something else. We then got round to ordering food and we sat for half an hour to be told that there was no ham left for one of the meals even though we ordered 45 minutes previous. Another group came in and had been served, eaten food and gone by the time we even got ours even though they came in and ordered 25 minutes after us! Once the food did come it was fine but this took a very long time for a place that had one table of 4 to look after at first.

We came as a family group, 10 people, 3generations.The service was very good and attentive. The food took a while to arrive, but the kids were busy playing on the bouncy castle and children's play area.Good choice for vegetarians and children.The food was excellent, except for the beef curry, in which the meat was chewy and ended up being left. We did complain, twice, but got nothing but an apology.

Booked a mid meal after a funeral for a family of nine at 1pm. Waited 30 mins. for drinks on a hot day. Waited 105 mins. for very basic pub food to arrive. Chaos would be the best description of the operation. Avoid.

We used to visit all the time, not been for a month or two until yesterday when we had friends over. Carvery was cold, fish and chips had to be sent back as the fish tasted off, there just seemed to be a general feeling of not knowing what's going on. Left after having a refund.Dint think we will be rushing back anytime soon.

Extremely friendly staff and Quality Food at affordable prices. The setting is outstanding and great for a Summers Afternoon or Evening. A MUST VISIT!!!

Ate here at an event and we were crammed into the room to the right as you come into The Manor, it was so unsafe - we literally sat back to back, side to side like sardines, staff could not come round with food as we were so crammed so we had to pass it down the tables like something from Oliver Twist! Staff yelled at diners 'Soup' 'Prawns' etc and you had to put your hand up and have the food passed to you - and then when everyone eventually got a meal it was so poor! The food was poor quality, badly presented and the veg that came with the main tasted like coal - I was gutted at £25 a head. It was really unsafe to cram people in like that, no one could go to the toilet and fire regulations were not given a thoughts. At one point someone in our group tried to stand and knocked the TV on the wall and a large frame around it fell off onto diners, hitting one on the shoulder. Staff laughed. I was so disappointed in this place, my visit had made me not want to go again, even in a smaller group. And I will certainly never book or attend a large event here.

I feel very comfortable coming here - the staff are very friendly, and I am able to breastfeed my little girl with no issues at all. There is soft play set up for kids to play with, although this is in a seperate room on the side so if you are not a parent and quiet without children this is still perfectly achievable. The Brampton Burrito is my absolute favourite - essentially it is pulled beef served in a giant yorkshire pudding served with roast potatos and gravy....not so great if you want to watch your weight but as a ravenous breastfeeding mamma this is ideal!!!!There is also the option of booking in for a treatment at the spa upstairs, and/or going to the gym next door all on the same premises so lots of entertainment available. They have a TV in the bar area so if there is football/snooker/grand prix this can be turned on on request. Definately a place to reccomend!!!!!!

Visited here for a family celebration, the whole place is tired and run down (don't be fooled by the photos on their website!) the menu sounded good but in reality its not!! Food was slow to arrive with no apology from the server, burgers were inedible, salmon was dry the list goes on. No check back and quite honestly we wouldn't have ordered anything else anyway! Bizarrely the drinks are so overpriced in comparison to the food, £25 for a bottle of house wine??!! Madness!! Very very disappointing!

Had a lovely spa day, treatments great, spa facilities a little basic but clean. Lunch afterwards was lovely, although being stretched with another function we had great service from our waitress, Louise, and loved our mum & daughter day out. Thank you

I have visited Brampton Manor on many occasions and I've never had a bad meal. Some friends and I met for Brunch on a Saturday as we have many times before and we had excellent service, food and drinks as we akways do.It is comfortable, friendly and relaxing,Would recommend breakfast, lunch and dinner without hesitation.

Waited nearly one hour for food to arrive even though we had booked a table. Other people came in after us, ordered, ate and left before our food came. One meal was sent back twice because not cooked. Not a pleasant meal at all.

The food, service, atmosphere and value was faultless and excellent. Perfect for our wedding anniversary.

I have to say this little gem on the outskirts of Chesterfield dishes up some awesome food at a reasonable price...Our server showed exemplary customer care, bubbly, attentive and nothing too much trouble..I had the most amazing Yorkshire pudding burrito filled with melt in the mouth beef.For a wednesday evening it was buzzing... well done we will surely be back

We popped into the Manor with our young bambino for a weekday lunch and, in short, it was great.We rang ahead to check if we were ok to bring in the little one and we were warmly welcomed; in fact there was another baby chuckling away when we arrived. It is also a lovely looking building up a handsome tree-lined driveway.The food menu was a nice surprise, with loads of choice than I expected, especially for us veggies. When the food arrived, which was swiftly, it looked and tasted very good. We had the Beer Battered Gruyere Croquettes, followed by the Butternut Squash & Spinach Risotto and the Mediterranean Wellington. It was all faultless; in fact my only comment was that it wasn't a Wellington, it was a parcel... Still, I can live with that! We even managed to squeeze in a chocolate Brownie which was equally delish.Overall, really impressed and sure we'll be back for more family-friendly fun.

I went to the manor today and had an amazing experience the ladies were very profesional i had an amazing gluten free sandwich and sweet potato fries for lunch will defenetly be going back thankyou

Having coming to the Brampton manor club , firstly as a member of the gym here, me and my friend whom I'd informed was a brilliant venue with great food and drink. And having being a chef for a number years and working in this environment, I was extremely disappointed to have experience what me and my friend has today, credit to the kitchen staff the food was amazing and Lauren and Ellie saved my experience !!, but unfortunately my trip here was spoiled by the shocking service I have experienced by one waitress unfortunately let my whole experience down. I am even questioning moving gym, after having to ask an other member of staff her name . Well let's start "Charlotte or Lottie" was extremely arrogant threatening to hit us over the head , with the plates she was carrying, telling us about chopping genitals off and initially refusing to go change my friends order as I would have been "making it difficult" for her as he requested no sauce and then continued to say she would hit us for doing so. I am extremely disappointed after recommending this to my friend before coming, as working in catering I am not one to use trip advisor but I feel I need to stress this to you. Shocking

My wife and I visited on a Friday night and ordered the special which was two steak meals with a bottle of wine for £29-95. The food was very good and great value and with a singer on we had a good night which is what my review is based on.We had attended the week before to try out the Sunday Carvery. There were as much vegetables as you could eat but only two very small pieces of meat which was disappointing so I'll stick to going in the evenings in future!

I had a spa day it was fab so i had breakfast amazing poached eggs the after treaments a late lunch the staff was friendly and efficiant at all my requirements will def go back

A month ago we had a meal at the Fox and Goose, Old Brampton with family and friends, with a really bad experience costing over£120, and lots of apologies to our friends.We approached management who understood and apologised,compensating us with a voucher we could use at either the Fox and Goose or their other establishment, the Brampton Manor restaurant and spa, Old Brampton, which visited on Tuesday 31 January 2017 for lunch .We ordered three steak bloomer meals with chips and salad, and a soup off the menu. When the steak meals arrived the bloomers appeared as two slices of dry thick white sliced bread.When we asked about the bloomers, we were informed that they didn't have any.What seems to be printed on both the online and restaurant menus, they don't have.The service was not the best, and even presented at the end of the meal with someone else's bill ,instead of our own.After contacting the management, they appeared disinterested, and said they were sorry their food didn't come up to our standard. I pointed out all I wanted was a plate of food as advertised on the menu, served freshly cooked and correct. Which means we will not be returning again to either venue and will advise other friends and relatives to be aware.It appears you should not complain if you're service and food are substandard. They apologised but didn't really seem interested.

Tonight, I visited for the third time in a few weeks which is unheard of for me, I like variety of venues as a general rule. Atmosphere lovely, service can be slow, they never seem to have enough staff on to wait tables effectively but the people who do are lovely and cant do enough to help you. The menu isnt very extensive but there is plenty to choose from. The pies are wonderful and the halloumi bloomer was fabulous. Ive had a business meal and two meals with friends, all enjoyed the food. The only thing to be wary of is ringing and booking, I didnt one evening and was disappointed to find the place shut down to customers wanting food due to an event.

This was our first visit since moving to this part of town and we will certainly call again. We were with two friends. The food was very good at sensible prices and the service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Would recommend.

Having previously made a very good review I feel I have to write about our experience yesterday which left me highly disappointed. We are regular visitors but after yesterday (and discussions with friends who have visited during December) I will seriously think twice about returning. We preordered our meals but still waited 75 minutes to eat with no apology. Staff basically avoided our table/room. Nobody cleared the table - crackers, glasses etc. Kids food wasn't brought out first and with it being a large table it was a long wait before everyone got their food. I understand this but clearly you can not cater for large parties. I only had a sandwich and chips, the halloumi was stone cold, rubbery and had never seen the grill, there was a massive amount of bread but not much filling. By the time the ketchup arrived (which I asked for twice) I had finished eating. The bar staff were friendly and helped bring drinks over but waiting staff were utterly miserable and unhelpful. Nobody asked us if everything was OK or if we wanted puddings. It was Christmas Eve and it should have been a special lunch but I left feeling disappointed. The table next to us were also complaining about the time they waited.

Visited the manor again for our Christmas meal with the swim club,excellent service and the food was really lovely!highly recommend it!

On Saturday, 17th December, my family and sisters family attended 'Breakfast with Santa ' at 9am. As a family we have experienced a few of these occasions but by far, this has been the BEST experience I have ever encountered. Santa was beyond fantastic! He was extremely realistic in the way he was dressed, how he spoke, how he approached the children, he shown a keen interest in what they had to say, gave plenty of time for my nephew to talk; even tho my nephew was shy, Santa still engaged him in conversation. Santas grotto was magical!! The scene was out of a story - amazing!! The story he told, the songs he sung, his interaction with the children, how he begun and ended the session was beyond my expectations. There was 7 of us altogether and we all came away feeling extremely Christmassy. It was a magical experience. Santa was very willing to have photographs with our children and even held our babies. It was my baby's first Xmas, to have this photograph is priceless. Id like you to pass my gratitude and congratulations to the amazing man who is Santa. He's made our Xmas already. Thank you very much Sheena Allan. Via iPhone.

We booked a table for 15 in order to celebrate our Mum's 70th birthday. Although the restaurant was busy, we had excellent service from the Staff including a free bottle of Prosecco! The food was delicious - we had pre ordered the Chrismas Fayre menu - and there was plenty of vegetables (one of my bug bears is not enough veg) Everyone was pleased with their meals and they even sorted Mum a large bowl of ice cream as the pre chosen cheesecake was chocolate - not a lover of chocolate is my Mum - and this was no trouble for one of our waitresses Lottie. It's hard to find somewhere to celebrate a December birthday but The Manor helped to make it a celebration to remember

Just got back from the manor. Met some old friends. My husband and myself and our 2 kids and we met 2 friends. One of my friends is a vegan. The staff were amazing. They were so helpful. The made my vegan fiend a beautiful risotto and also made her mash and vegan gravy so she could have the carvery. The food was lovely. The atmosphere was great and we sat chatting over closing time (we hadn't realised) but the staff didn't push us out. I can't rate this place enough.

Saturday night a family gathering of 10 booked for 8pm six weeks bofore. We arrived at 7pm for drinks we had a lot to catch up with before we ate. At 8pm we moved ourselves to our table and waited at 8.25 I had to ask for the menus! Another member of our party asked at the bar for some water for the table and he was given this at the bar therefore having to serve us with the jugs of water and all ten glasses. We were beginning to wonder if this was self service. Any way service did not get much better after a long wait we did eventually order starters which came at 9.20pm!They were very good but as I was starving I think anything would have tasted good!One item was missing from the starters we were not informed of this and thought this had been forgotten but it arrived 10 minutes later as we all finishing our starters.Thankfully the main course followed shortly with no problems but the service was very slow waiting for sauces etc. The food was good no complaints. Took a while when we had finished to clear the plates but not all the table was cleared we remained for another hour chatting and there were still sauce pots and plates scattered round the the table. No dessert menu was offered or a chance to have a coffee. The overall bill was very reasonable £60 per couple and we had 4 bottles of wine plus other drinks. Shame this lovely local restaurant cannot get the basic customer service correct.

Absolutely amazing time had, me and my daughter had the full day spa and a three course meal for lunch, prices were very reasonable, loads of facilities to choose from, relaxed atmosphere and food was amazing, relaxed next to a wood burner, treatments top quality, all round amazing experience

Had carvery which was OK, service started of ok but once we got our carvery that was it nobody asked us if we wanted anything else or was everything ok then waitress came cleared table no mention of sweet menu .

Visited on a Sunday lunch, around 30 of us! Great service, excellent roast meats with imaginative vegetables. Add some well kept ales and a log fire and the perfect scene is set. Will be going again soon , just the 4 of us!!

We went for a family dinner. We ordered our meals and then after we had waited for a while a waitress came over to explain that neither of the adults meals were available. It would have been good to be informed of this at the point of order. Then when we were waiting again a couple came into the area in which we were seated worrying the room hadn't yet been set up for a private function. We literally sat there as they moved the tables around us. We asked the bar staff if we needed to move but he said we had 20 minutes before the private booking was due to start so we were fine to stay. This was despite the fact our main course hadn't even arrived. We asked to be moved anyway as having them rearrange the furniture and feeling rushed wasn't making for a pleasant experience. When the food did arrive it was nothing special. Can't believe we paid for the experience. The staff were well meaning but like a previous reviewer said - it was like Fawlty Towers.

Just returned from a working lunch at the Brampton Manor and was very disappointed in the food and the service. The meals were pre-ordered as we had limited time but were served over 30 minutes later and were definitely not worth waiting for. I'm not sure what the sweet potato fries were made from but I don't think it was either sweet or a potato!

What a disaster from start to finish. We were given a free meal as the spa had made a huge mistake by not booking our prepaid day.My friend ordered the vegetarian options as she doesn't eat meat. The sundried tomato bruschetta came piled high with Palma ham! Her ratatouille was hard vegetables and they forgot the side of chips. My main course was burger and chips. This came without cheese as stated and again they forgot to bring any chips. My mum and sister had carvery. On first attempt to get their dinner there was hardly anything left. When they finally got it the vegetables were hard, still had run out of most things such as stuffing broccoli cauliflower cheese. But they couldn't wait around too long as we'd already been in restaurant hour and half and were due to be in spa at 4. Puddings disaster too mine was wrong then they never brought out my replacement my friends was burnt and my mum and sister couldn't have there's as they had run out of time. Completely unprofessional. Spoke to owner who told me he would contact me to try to correct all the errors made. Still waiting again total unprofessional. This was my sisters birthday and peoples lack of professionalism ruined her day.

Sat outside at lunch time with our two dogs. Water already available for dogs, plenty of tables outside and cushions on the seats, some in the sun, some with cover. My burger was absolutely fabulous. It was a thick homemade burger with proper melted cheese on the underside of the top of the crusty bun. The burger extras were on the platter to add as you wish, coleslaw, salad, gherkins, crispy onion rings, and a basket of thick cut proper chips. My wife had the B Manor salad which looked good, and Ju said it was very nice. With attentive staff, sunshine and a glass of wine, very nice lunch time.

Very friendly atmosphere & the food is always tasty alongside great service X lovely patio area too X it's also a nice bar for just drinks & Sunday cavery is scrumptious

We visited today with children to the 'circus' event for children which was £5 per child. Arrived at 2.30 which was start time of event. By 4.10pm all that had been provided was bouncy castle, hola hoops, stepping things for kids to walk with and spiny plates and someone dressed as a bear.At 4pm the face painters and balloon modeller. Not a very exciting event and an age range should have definitely been advertised as my 12 year old didn't want to participate and it was all preschool aged children and therefore a waste of her ticket.Bar staff- I ask for a pimms and the server responded with 'what do you want that with'. First time round another server interrupted her and offered to make up some fruit. 2nd time round the server said do you want lemon and lime with that, I asked for fruit and mint and ended up getting a few chopped strawberries. Pimms is a basic classic British drink and staff should be trained in how to serve this!Large glass of wine is actually rather small! See picFood- ordered kids food which was OK however chicken fajitas had no salsa as advertised.Adult burger was very good size meal for the price and was ok taste.
