The Melbourne Inn in South Derbyshire

Very friendly good selection of beers.

A great place to visit as a large group. Definitely a good experience and would go again.

I was designated driver for this visit, so zero alcohol for me, didn't rate the lager, fruit cider was good, the other option was zero Guinness. I had a bacon sandwich, excellent, I have to say though, the seats outside were really uncomfortable and my 2 older sisters agreed wholeheartedly. Service and atmosphere was great but the party of about 40 stayed outside so cannot rate inside. Appeared to have a fair range of beers on draught.

We've been here a couple of times and the food has always been lovely. Nice big clean pub with friendly staff, I recommend a visit

Lovely place, friendly people, food 😋 & good selection of beers to wash the food down 👌🏻

Great fish and chips, absolutely some of the best I've had for years, well worth a visit, fast service and great friendly staff

Great pub, really nice beer garden and friendly staff.

Sunday lunch and the Bass can't be beaten!

Super food and good beer. Nice outside seated area, dog friendly, perfect after a walk around the lake.

Best Sunday lunch in the area and excellent value.

Have just left this place after asking at the bar do you do food outside or maybe instead of a Sunday lunch do you do pub meals etc.was told no only to sit in the garden and watch other family's receive sunday lunches and sandwiches chips etc outside.if your not a local avoid like the plague horrible place

We had a great Sunday lunch, we were a table of eleven, stopping mid way around our walk, the food was great, and good value, the staff are very pleasant. Sorry I think our boots were a bit muddy

Nice enough pub. Popped in because it rained during my walk. Nice enough pub and staff were nice.

Timothy Taylor Boltmaker real ale was fabulous.

What an absolutely fabulous place! Small, comfortable, dog-friendly (and also very friendly to people!). The staff were really helpful and the food was delicious (especially the Riviera Burger - quality meat, topped with melted Brie). We will definitely return next time we're in Melbourne! 🙂

Visited with a few friends at lunch/ afternoon and had some toasties and chips to share and drinks. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the food was. We will definitely return and try other things on the menu. Prices looked very competitive and affordable.

Southern fried chicken in a brioche bun including cheese and bacon, lettuce, tomato, chips, onion rings, salad cream, and coleslaw all for under £10, served by a very nice waitress.

I went for lunch on Sunday with a friend.We both had the roast dinner,in my case the beef and in my friends case the lamb.We both thought that the meal was excellent, very good value and perfectly cooked.The meat was accompanied by good portions of potato,Yorkshire pudding,carrots,peas,mint sauce,cabbage and cheese cauliflower.I think this is one of the best meals I have ever tasted in the form of a roast.I thoroughly recommend a visit but booking is to be recommended

Great bar with open fires, foods ok but its just started so still things to learn.

A nice surprise didn't expect such a wonderful place, a good choice of ales

Fabulous roast, yorkies to die for 😋

Visiting Family so booked a table for Sunday. The Roast was great value for money and cooked perfectly. Seems popular with the locals, great service, friendly and helpful. Nice ambience to the place. Will book again for sure.

Had 6 Sunday dinner good meal but not alot of meat to say gone up. One slice lamb. Had to wait for gravy. My partner said potatoes roasted were cold but he ate them. Would return but portion meat less. Overall good meal. Excellent pudding lemon meringue lovely.

Nice village pub in a lovely village with ample parking nearby. Good selection of beers and cider. Very dog friendly so big thumbs up. Would have given it another star BUT kitchen closes at 8pm! I guess last food orders being 7:30 ish so was unable to sample interesting menu.

Really excellent pub in Melbourne Derby Ribs to die for. Steak pie amazing. Portions really generous, quality great, very good value and lovely staff.

Sunday carvery was worth every penny shame the locals moaned about dogs so you could hear them apart from that it was faultless.

Nice little pub, good live music.

Great pub with friendly staff and a nice beer garden.

Great sunday lunch ,friendly efficient service nice atmosphere...would recommend

Visit for drinks. Nice inside and outside, friendly staff, and locals inside. Dog friendly, if your dog is friendly 😉

I ordered the small portion of fish and chips. It was delicious. They also allow dogs in the bar.

Dog friendly, nice pint of Bass

Lovely food and friendly service

Love everything about this place

Great place to have a pint in the sun not eaten here but enjoyed the pint in the sun but also great in winter with the open fire. Great parking

The food was amazing and a good price too. No complaints and I will return. Dog friendly pub.

Good food people! Strongly recommended - I love your BBQ pulled pork.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and really YUMMY food. Highly recommended

I have dropped in for a sandwich for lunch. The BLT at £4.25 was very good: substantial, nice bacon, lots of salad. Would have been better on something other than steam baked white bread. A very nice pint of Timothy Taylor "Bolt maker" to wash it down. Pleasant staff.

Excellent food & friendly staff.

Lovely little pub very friendly foodnwS excellent 👌

Went for Sunday dinner today. Absolutely superb

What a fantastic Sunday lunch. Service was brilliant defo go again loved it 👏 👍

Food is home cooked and the best.

Cosy, personable & competent staff with wide soft drink selection if you gotta stay sharp.

A very calming atmosphere and the food is absolutely delicious!!

I had the most amazing Sunday lunch with my parents today. Our usual pub was fully booked so we thought we would try here and what an absolute gem of a place it was. The service was fantastic and the food simply gorgeous and very reasonably priced. I cannot fault this place and we will most definitely be back again.

How times change. Great Melbourne pub which also does brilliant food as well. Definitely recommend

Fantastic. Went for New Year's Day 5 course meal it was great. Fantastic value for money and really enjoyable, food great service good. We weren't rushed, which was a good job, because with the portion sizes you wouldn't have managed it. Great job Glen.

Great Melbourne pub. Went if for a few cheeky NYE drinks. Changed very much for the better. We only had drinks but we hear that the food is very good too. Would definitely recommend.

friendly atmosphere the food was great and reasonably priced

Brilliant love in there everyone is very friendly and welcoming

Fantastic pub, great Sunday lunch just how mum used to make it!!! Amazing value.

Having never been to Melbourne before we dropped in the Inn for a meal. The staff were very helpful, the gammon, egg and chips was the best the best we can remember and prices were very reasonable prices. Well done.

First time here. 5 of us for Sunday lunch 3x pate starters 1x garlic mushrooms 1x turkey 1x beef 3x beef/lamb 1x lemon meringue & ice cream 2x coffees 6x drinks Everything, and I mean everything was excellent. Well done to Glenn and his staff. Expect another visit soon

3 course family Sunday dinner, with the choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and selection of both hot and cold puddings/desserts. Be aware child portions same as adults, and if you don't want gravy make them aware as it comes with it on

Lovely pub and excellent food .good service

The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. I would highly recommend it and will be coming back next time we're in the area.

Awesome Sunday lunch. Home made mint sauce (rare normally out of a jar) home made yorkies delicious. Tender lamb and loads of veg. Thumbs up to the chef. Delightful staff. Think you all.

Popped in for lunch, friendly staff and lovely pub. Food was great!

Always feel welcome, amazing staff and owner.

Excellent food, great choice n great prices. Massive portions. Definitely will be returning.

We called here for a lunch along with our two dogs after walking them around nearby Poppy Wood. We came here as it was dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming, beer good and the food portions were large and very nice. We would definitely come here again. Thank you Melbourne Inn!

Nice pub excellent food, cooked to order,so nice and hot when brought to you, large portion .

Clean and most of all the staff were very polite we shall call again

Clean pub, relaxed atmosphere, good choice of beer and food is the best in Melbourne

Great place, food is lovely, hospitality is good, nice style interior, old, very clean

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, lovely outside space too. Food is fab and great value for money

Lovely pub,opens noon, meals highly recommended, 10 out of 10 would go again.

Decent enough. Pub, beers, does what it says, old decor but good enough all the same.

Dropped in for a drink and a cheery greeting and a nice couple of pints. Thanks 🌞

we went sunday as a couple for the first time and we could not fault the food [ 5 stars ] it was friendly enough and the service was fine as it was a busy period . but please be aware if its your first time like us as the noise levels were to much given the large group near bye who had total disregards for the other dinners and were obviously regulars or local , that we just about could cope with but then 2 owners sat with dogs close by and the dogs smelled as they were very close which put us off as their was no signage or staff warning of this or giving you the option of eating in a dog free area , we have nothing against dogs it is just our personal preference . it was a shame as the food and the staff were so good but as a none dog owners it has defiantly put us off in future unless their is an area where you can eat with out a dog being 2 foot away sniffing at you ;-[

Good atmosphere good company cheap bar prices and very busy all in all great pub

Great value 3 course Sunday lunch. Highly recommended 👌

Great atmosphere brilliant service and friendly staff.

Average Sunday roast. Pub cold however staff friendly and good.

Pop in most Mondays when the kids are at kickboxing. Friendly a staff and a good pint.

Simply the best roast lamb Sunday lunch ever!!! Amazing cauliflower cheese too. Great, friendly service.

This a great pub, very well looked after with top real ales, also well looked after. The lady who served us definitely knows how to pull a pint.

Great place. Very warm welcome always. Food as always been great. Love this place. They are also dog friendly so great place for a pint after a dog walk.

We were told about the Melbourne arms, a few months ago, tried it out, and very pleased. The food is very good so we've been today again and we had 3 courses this time. We would recommend this place to everyone.

Friendly staff,great atmosphere, food is amazing well worth the money . Definitely a pub to pop into for lunch or evening meal.

Used to be a very nice bar with a good range of atmospheres from pool tables and jukeboxes, to quiet conversations by an open fire. Now it has been taken beyond the point of recognition. No definitive ales (Carling and Coors the standard), and a lack of identity stemming from a refusal to embrace the younger scene that will help to rejuvenate this place to the scene it once was. Poor service, poor choice.

Only had a drink large pub with a real fire which made it warm and cosy.

I'm new to the area but the landlord and staff made me feel like I had been using the pub for years. Very welcoming and excellent beers I'll be in there a lot

Lovely pub, wonderful food, well worth the visit. Would happily go again.

Nice atmosphere and good food too.

Enjoyable meal well worth the money

Amazing pub! Outstanding staff!! Highly recommend you visit this pub.
