The Newdigate Arms in Erewash - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited bank holiday Monday and it was manic! This did not prevent us from enjoying our visit, albeit a very noisy one. Staff were predominantly young females who jelled well as an impressive, highly efficient and hardworking team. Although some delays on service due to such a high volume of guests (we had reserved a table in advance), this did not stop staff affording us as much time as we needed to make our menu selections. Our food was delivered, piping hot, aesthetically presented and was absolutely delicious. My only gripe was the beef and ale pie that I and another guest ate, was way too salty, but as it was so delicious, we both eagerly ate it all. We paid the price later by having an incredible thirst! I will certainly return, although will select a quieter day and hope the pie is less salty as I'd really love to enjoy that again.

Had a really lovely meal here on Sunday night and was very impressed with the broad menu and speed of service. Will definitely return if we are in the area again! Thanks!

Good food and excellent service. Although it was very busy it didn't take long for the drinks to arrive at our table. All the staff were very helpful and they accommodated small changes to the menu

Lovely place, lovely staff, great atmosphere and the food is good for the price of it (its cheap ish and the portion sizes are big enough to fill me)

Great place very busy. Food and service was excellent.

Excellent food service good prices reasonable good menu something different nice to see it's not a chain

Excellent roast turkey cob with roasties and pigs on blankets

Had to ask for the table to be cleaned n the seats when we were shown to our seats The meals were fine although the steak was chewy The staff were great had two young children with us and they were really helpful with them The outside play area is good for children probably aged 3 and above All in all we enjoyed it

I have never known an restaurant to not take a booking in advance. We arrived for a table of 9. They took our name and gave us a buzzer to say when the table. The buzzer never went off. 1 hour 30 minutes later, we went to the front of , who were in different as to our complaints. They offered "2 tables close to each other." No concern was shown to our waiting time or care during waiting. Disgusting

First ever visit. With granddaughter and great granddaughter. Very nice food, both starter and main.

Came here on Sunday, not booked, looking for a table for four and one child. Told about a 45min delay in restaurant but could have a table outside and order at the bar. Did so and got our four carvery's within 20mins along with child portion lunch. The food was really good. So, a well organised pub, plenty of friendly helpful staff. Good facilities inside and out,including a play area for my granddaughter and me. We returned today, again unbooked for a table for two, and had steak's cooked as asked for which we thoroughly enjoyed. Return visit 16th August, since their re-fit. A good upgrade on facilities, they spent a lot and it all looks good. Outdoor dining under shade and upgraded play area.

Good vegetarian/vegan options. Staff friendly and professional

Exceptional as always Still awesome (Aug-2024)

Sunday carvery is excellent, very busy and you can't book a table, next time I go will be about 3 30 otherwise everything lovely..

Carvery was superb, will definitely be going back.

Had a great meal, lovely friendly service ten out of ten

We haven't been to the Newdigate Arms for a few years, and we returned today, 22nd July 2024. The place has changed so much for the better. The menu is very varied and the quality of the food is great. It has a great outside area, which is covered. The staff are very helpful and professional. There is a fine selection of ales and wines

Tried to book a table for 9 for my mum’s birthday and they said no… we just have to turn up and with a couple of young children that’s impossible! How are we supposed to wait when they can’t even garuntee a table for us! So very disappointed and even though I have visited on many occasions I will not be going back

Beautiful pub lovely and fresh plenty on menu for everyone in the family lovely park 😀

Definitely worth a visit! We Called in on after a walk and we were not disappointed one bit, the cleanliness of the pub, the bar service and food were 10 out of 10, only had sandwiches for quickness but it was great 👍 menu looked very good. Definitely recommend it! Well done to all the staff and management at this pub, absolutely brilliant 👏 👌

Went here with my colleagues tonight (Wednesday evening) , the hospitality server with short hair and gold chain was amazing, helped us over to a bigger table, ever so kind and friendly, had a vegan carvery and it was beautiful, I couldn't of asked for any more, all the staff were brilliant, thank you so much for a great evening xxx

First time at this pub, excellent food, friendly staff! We will be back soon

Our first time here for lunch. I'll put this as simply as possible - excellent food, excellent beer, excellent coffee and excellent staff. Looking forward to our next visit but will book this time. We arrived early so managed to get a table straight away but the pub soon filled up which proves that other people agree with us. Thanks to all the staff 😁👍❤️

My friend who's local to the area booked Sunday lunch the day before. We were offered two times 12:30 and 2 pm but when we arrived at 12:30 there was a 40 minute wait for a table and we were told you can't book on a Sunday? No idea who took our booking but we went elsewhere. I was told the Sunday lunch is great.

Amazing food , great service and great outdoor space for kids

Didn't have food but always a good vibe

A great pub serves excellent food (the steak and ale pie is a monster), has good beers/ales on tap. The staff are very friendly and helpful, food is served at a reasonable rate. My go to pub whenever I'm in the area.

Drinks and food served at your table by excellent service ,eat outside under cover on a nice day, children's menu, great place all round, back soon.

Meal not good sent back my homemade curry as sauce was like water and barley any chicken thigh present. Have had better cheap ready meal, replaced with pie which was good but mash potatoes really lumpy they over to replace but I left it but only a few on side. 2 had chicken wings meal was a joke 6 little wings, 15 frozen chips, and 50pence size coleslaw. My parents had OAP Sunday lunch, fair enough less meat but plate size was laughable and inappropriate. My son had to send back gammon of mixed grill as really salty, mushroom was left full of grease. Over priced not good food won't be returning in a rush as a shame as we had been regular Sunday here.

This is a great place for something to eat, whether it be lunch or evening meal. They have a great range of food to choose from, and it all tastes lovely. They get very busy at lunchtime, so I highly recommend getting there ASAP so that you aren't caught in the rush. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It has recently been renovated and looks great. They have disabled toilets, outdoor seating, and plenty of parking. The atmosphere here is always good. We highly recommend giving them a try.

Food was great and filling ,and the new reno looks fantastic 👌

Lovely decor and food consistently good Staff are very attentive. Unsurprisingly this means it gets very busy...particularly on a Sunday.

Lovely place to eat and I cannot complain about the portions. The steak and ale pie is the best I've had. They also do an awesome carvery but it can get very busy because it's so popular. The wait isn't usually that bad for a table on Sundays for the carvery.

Much improved from when I last went in five years ago

Used to visit often recommended to family but this time was appalling don't have a clue what oil they are using but it tastes foul waited over an hour for mains service was terrible.

Busy and far too noisy. No atmosphere really Food was ok, but service rather perfunctory.

Will be coming back for more carverys!

Awesome food and great selection of beers. I’ve become somewhat of a regular at The Newdigate thanks to the chefs specials which are always great. Definitely book ahead if you can as it gets very busy. Table service is great and the staff are good.

Update 13/04/24 - came for food and wasn't disappointed! An extremely popular place, resulting in a 45 minute wait for a table. It was worth the wait though! All courses were well presented, tasty and served relatively quickly. Cracking service too. Will definitely be returning. This is a tough one to rate as I only popped in for a drink. What I did see, though, was an extremely busy bar. The food was served quickly and tasted great too. Staff and the landlady were really friendly too. Will be returning and will be trying their food.

It is very well run the service is always good and the food is excellent. The prices are good when taken everything into consideration.

Very disappointed with out meal, the floor and table were both dirty, we had to ask for these to be cleaned. The food took a long time to come out. When the food was served it was cold, no check backs were done during or after the meal. Also very sad to see another customer distressed and being sick due to having mould on her meal!!! How can this have been missed by the chef? A few other people also complained about wrong meals being sent out.

Get there early on a Sunday with as few people as possible in your group should you go there to eat, that is if you don't wish to wait over an hour to be seated at a table for your meal. Food once you were informed you could join the line to be served was OK but nothing outstanding, Carvery was £12.95 with a choice from 3 meats, 4 vegetables and 3 different potatoe, mashed, roasted, and cooked in skins. There is no reduction on Sunday for over 60's who may not require as large a carvery as other younger people. By the time we had finally eaten we did not fancy staying for a desert, although to be honest looking at the prices I would not have paid that much for one anyway. Overall it was OK but I won't be rushing to return anytime soon.

Supa dupa golden yrs menu. Delicious, really enjoyable n staff mek ya feel welcome. Update April 24, refurb luks nice, meals as gorgeous as always. Bye Bye Gemma, gud luk in yr new adventures. Luv from "The ladies that do lunch on the round table", luv ya hun. Xx

Had a lovely freshly cooked meal today. Very good portions, hot followed by very nice desserts. Biscoff sundae was big enough to share but the zesty lemon tart was lovely.

Good service Nice friendly atmosphere Good good

Booked for party of 15 . Absolutely excellent service ,lovely staff and fantastic food . Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Lovely meal and very friendly staff (perfect)

Very welcoming, excellent service and good value, delicious home cooked food. Highly recommend

Lovely meal, great service. I would say that it is a small restaurant and the noise level can get quite high and makes conversation difficult. Desserts ate pricey though.

Went for a meal to celebrate my birthday. Excellent service, and it was the best meal I have eaten out for a long time.

Great pub with excellent food and great priced drinks. Staff were all very friendly and will definitely be back

Excellent food and drink at very reasonable prices

Met up with friends early afternoon. Almost full by 1 pm . Good food at a decent price.

Nice place, big outdoor area too.great table service too.Only downside was the food, we were expecting better. Nice fish, hard chips, cold peas... but I d try again to see if it was just a blip.

Great snap. Great service. Get on the chicken and Stilton pie 🤤

The food and service are excellent, can thoroughly recommend.

I really would love yo give more stars but I can't.... I was there for a jib interview and the staff were very friendly and polite . It looks a really nice place and will endeavour to visit again soon ..

We love this pub. Professional and friendly. Good local pub feel in all the best ways. We come all year round with our children and always recommend to family and friends x

Absolutely amazing service and food for 20 of us today celebrating my mums 90th birthday. I can't thank the.staff enough. The food was amazing. Everyone's food arrived hot and at the same time. The chef's are spot on. Thank you so much for making our mums birthday so special. Well done to you all. You went over and above 🥰❤️xx

Lovely staff, not had any food here yet but it looks lovely, quiet place, good choices of alcohol

Fantastic meal, fantastic customer service, best pub meal ever eaten

Sunday dinner no booking system. Buffet service waitress drinks

Lovely food and fairly priced for the quality. Eager to return and try some different options

Had the beef lasagne (with about a tablespoon of mince in) The lasagne was more like a cold tin of Heinz ravioli with cold congealed cheese on the top, cold chips and a soggy salad. Absolutely vile.

Good food Good selection of drinks ample parking

Always beautiful food, service, and a friendly atmosphere to go for a catchup meal when my friends visit from Birmingham

Always good here .... my go to pub for dinner ...

Very busy, best to book ahead however service was very good.

Beautiful Xmas Dinner,wonderful staff

Great family pub, cracking Sunday carvery and a great menu. Love the Newdigate, the staff are brilliant and the food is consistently excellent.

Lovely place, can't fault it at all, food was great, service was great and the guiness is good. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely meal well presented and plenty to eat also meal was cooked just as I requested

Beautiful food. Very prompt and friendly service. Never had a bad meal here.

Food is always really good..... pre booking is advisable because they're always busy..... service is good too

Brilliant service Great atmosphere Very happy with all the people working there

Beautiful food and great service. Nicest carvery I have ever had.

1st visit today and we are looking forward to coming again already. Great service and food. Will recommend to everyone we know

Food is absolutely banging and amazing service definitely coming again

Beutiful carvery, great choice of beers , great service. Been coming here for years and never had a bad experience

So my original review was 4 years ago, and to be fair it was 5* and glowing but decided to go there today and was very exited to revisit this place, when we got seated we picked what we wanted fish and chips and a child's dinner, we had the extra side of bread for 99p onto too, now the service was alright and the waiting tike for food was very quick. But the food was awful the fish had been soaked or frozen and defrosted then thrown stright into the fryer as the fish literally tasted like water, I couldn't eat any of my food I tried a bit and turned my stomach so much I had to stop Now I have been here a few weeks prior to this for a Sunday carvery and it was really nice portions are good ect but today was a huge let down to the point of me nit waiting to return. It was a oap day and I feel like there is a bit of a scam going on as oap meals are the same just half the price and we seen people with the fish and chips expecting to go more for the nearly 13 pound price tag and ended up getting the exact same. But the scam is when they have these half price oap days they get the garbage fish ect out and serve it as they know that 90% of people will be paying 50%less Not fair on the oaps and not fair on the paying customer Now all in all we both refused the dish and they did take both off the tab plus even took my little girls food off the tab too but we both ended up not eating at all, and still paid for the 2 hit chocolates and fruitshoot Going home hungry and let down was a big disappointment and I feel they should of offered us something for the inconvenience maybe a % off next time as to be fair I can't see myself or my family going there again

Visited here for the first time with a friend on Monday. Really enjoyed it! Staff were super friendly, food really tasty and affordable - super big portions! Would definitely return!

Absolutely delicious. Extremely busy for a weekday lunchtime but we didn't have to wait. The server cleared a table quickly for us to sit down. Food was excellent as was the service. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

One of the best beer gardens in the area and good food too.

Steak pie was delish! We had small bites/ old age pensioners menu & had plenty on our plate. There was 5 of us & we all had plenty to eat & food was tasty. Excellent value for money. Service good & came quickly. Lovely covered outside area under an awning. Cosy interior & will definitely go again.

Had a lovely family meal in a good atmosphere will do it again

food is always nice, lady who took our order was lovely (can only assume supervisor due to different uniform?) however it was let down by another staff member who virtually ignored us as we walked in, continued to look through something she was reading, and when asked what sauces we wanted, on return these were thrown down on the table with no contact at all. We found it quite rude, luckily it wont put us off from returning as we come here quite often.

Wouldn't return no more to be said only horrible

Lovely meal as always! Steak was cooked to perfection! Service from Nicole was brilliant, she was Friendly, approachable, helpful and great with my little One!

Lovely meal and friendly attentive staff.

Very friendly staff and very helpful lovely food and drinks Very nice place to visit.

Good food at a reasonable price

Busy, friendly and a good recommendation for solid pub food at good prices. From talking with Scarlet to book through to paying the bill we had a great time and really enjoyed the experience.

Highly recommended love the specials different meals every time we go

Over 60 meal menu just enough if you don't want big portions. Great prices great food.
