The Stenson Fields in South Derbyshire

One to avoid! We ordered a sizzling platter, definitely nothing sizzling about it, food soggy and soaking in a pool of juice and the platter was luke warm at best, although my daughter did enjoy her fish and chips. Waited at the bar for over 20 minutes while the staff served ‘regulars’ irrespective of when they arrived at the bar, then served a glass of wine in a 1/2 pint glass. At no point in our 2 hours of being here did we see a member of management grace the bar/lounge area. I usually love this brand but I found this venue seriously lacking.

Great food and atmosphere, Amy was very helpful

Great pub staff friendly good food excellent prices nothing to complain about

Great local pub with fantastic value quality food, brilliant lunch today, well looked after by Amy, great experience all round

Beautiful food drinks were Spot on highly recomended n

This is our local and has been for long time. We went in on Thursday and there so many people the bar staff were amazing they never stopped all day.

Exceptional meal at The Fields, as usual. Steak cooked to perfection and service with a smile. Hats off to Laura and Amy.

Just came for a drink and was very nice

My food came out cold and was not cooked as requested, disappointed as this is my go to sizzler and normally the food is spot on.

I absolutely love this place. Most of the staff always have a smile on their faces and are happy to help with anything you need.

There is always a friendly hello , who ever is behind the bar . The service is excellent, whether you are just having a drink or having one of their lovely meals , I would totally recommend the fish and chips , it's the best batter in Derby .

Full English and strawberry waffle with cream had for breakfast. Absolutely delicious, couldn't fault any of it! Plus excellent coffee. Debbie was great and checked our food was ok . Absolutely would come again !

Great food friendly staff great service clean and tidy. Very large car park very good selection of alcohol and non alcoholic drinks.

Went to the fields for food and some drinks. Food was really nice. Was served drinks by Amy at the bar. Very friendly staff member. Overall a good experience. Would recommend

I went for some dinner with my family the food was beautiful and stuff was great and Amy was so pleasant

Great service, food was really good plenty of options, kids menu also really good. Good value, friendly staff will definitely be visiting again.

Stopped here on the way home on Sunday. Only about 12 other people in. Rushed when we were ordering. Haloumi sizzler brought out instead of Haloumi wrap. So we had to send it back, no offer to give us the price difference back. Waffle fries sent out instead of skin on fries ( said we would just keep them.) however realised they were rock hard and all stuck together. Garlic bread side and on both lasagnes was burnt and tasted of old oil with black bits stuck to it. Both lasagnes burnt underneath and covered with a 2.5 cm layer of thick cheap cheese meaning that was all you could taste. When the Haloumi wrap finally came back out the had forgotten the cheese on the chips we asked for when ordering. Stood with it at the bar for a good 5 minutes waiting for a member of staff so they could add it. In the end it was the chef that came out and took it. When it came out for the 3rd time the lettuce was all burnt and the Haloumi rock hard. They must have but it under the grill or hot lamp to melt the cheese. Daughter ended up just eating the chips which were anemic.Chicken gyros was cold ( it says on the menu free replacement if your skillet isn't sizzling) it wasn't even whispering never mind sizzling! But at this point we had given up. Partner ate the 6 tiny pieces of chicken that he managed to find swimming in juice in the bottom and a few of the chips but said it didn't taste right. Even The onion rings were burnt and when trying to cut them they pinged across the table. The only thing that was edible was our youngest daughters chicken dippers and peas as her chips were also undercooked (how do you mess up chicken nuggets, chips & peas?!) So we left hungry, nearly 70 quid down and never to return.

If you’re looking for a great spot with excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere, this pub definitely delivers. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and friendly vibe, thanks to the lovely staff who are ALL always ready to make you feel at home. Their positive attitude and attentiveness really enhance the overall experience. They have plenty of entertainment evenings, this has now become a regular spot for me and it’s easy to see why! Thank you for always being 10/10

Brilliant atmosphere, great prices and great tasting food. Amy was amazing with her table service and would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

My favourite pub, always friendly and fast service. Great affordable food with large portions and lovely little garden

Food was great and Amy’s service had been smooth and pleasant

Very calm atmosphere 30 min wait on food but was served in 15 min so very pleased. Amy behind the bar was very helpful and quick to help.

Food was nice and arrived on time would come again, was served by Amy

Love it, a friendly place indeed

Amy was a great server very lovely and great food!

just moved to the area, visited today & the food was absolutely amazing! will be making this a weekly visit from now on😍we had the curry house feast & chicken feast

Lovely place and dogs allowed too

Visited today, Had a Great burger The waiter Gavin was very polite and efficient and Manager Debbie was attentive and professional Will definitely visit again soon Fantastic place to visit

Great as usual.friendly polite helpful, very pleased.

What a lovely experience this was. My husband had fish and chips with mushy peas and he said it was the best fish in derby. I have the mixed grill and the steak was cooked perfectly. When ordering your food they ask straight away if there are any allergies which really impressed me. The staff are friendly and bubbly and attentive. They seem to have so many offers on which is great this time of year. Looking around they also do lots of entertainment! Can’t wait to come and have a look at this entertainment.

The food was very tasty and the place was comfortable and warm.didnt take long to get served and amy was very pleasant and welcoming

Perfect. Good service, good food 👍🏻 Quick service, food arrived hot and tasty We came midweek lunch very quiet and comfortable.

Staff and management are very welcoming the menu is very tasty 😋 10/10

Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The table was reserved and a high chair placed at the table ready for our arrival. The food was hot and tasty. Great value for

Brilliant , happy staff. Went beyond in helping me. Food good. Well done

Totally fantastic reception and service by the friendliest of staff. Food n service were utterly brilliant.im sure we will be back next time we meet up halfway. So impressed

Food was fantastic, best breakfast i have had ,staff ,really friendly, nothing was to much trouble for them ,didn't have to wait long for my food ,I won't be going anywhere else, apart from there ,great atmosphere, can't wait to go back

Lovely Birthday meal for extended family of 20 from 10 to 90 years old. Food was good and staff all friendly and helpful - they helped make our day very special.

So disappointed, the fish was poor very thin like the fish had fish been removed , I’ve had fish fingers fatter. Chips were only warm . We have been here many many times and recommended friends and family to go there but not on this experience. Told the server Who did nothing but perhaps it’s not his job , I hope they go back the same fish as it’s really not nice

Always a lovely atmosphere. Great food. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Efficient staff and good food deals .Nice decor.large car park with electric charging point and nearby kids play area. Outdoor seats. Bookable changing menu

We were a table of 10 for a family lunch. Service was very quick and friendly. All food was fantastic, hot and well presented best sizzling experience in awhile! :)

Brilliant food, served piping hot, in a timely fashion, and with great service, special mention to the Chef on shift Andy, impeccable food!

A lovely lunch with friends. Staff were lovely and very helpful. I have coeliac disease and the barmaid spent time helping me choose a safe meal to eat.

Visited Stenson Fields for lunch 08/10/2024 ▪︎ Bright, welcoming & cheery smiles on our arrival from the lady behind the bar! ▪︎ We ordered our drinks online along with a selection of starters to share: ▪︎ Beer-battered salt n pepper mushrooms with Blue Cheese Dip & Crispy peppered chicken wings with BBQ Sauce & Garlic Mayo, followed by Desserts: ▪︎ Lemon & Rasberry Mousse & Bramley Apple Pie & Custard ▪︎ Service was quick! We complimented the chef & told him we could have eaten a bucket of the wings, they were so tasty & crispy on the outside & so moist inside!! The apple pie was a generous & scrumptious portion. The lemon & rasberry mousse was a little too sweet for our liking, maybe choosing something a little less sweet to drizzle over an already sweet dessert, but purely our taste as someone else may prefer the level of sweetness. ▪︎ Great value for money!! Would definetly recommend family & friends to visit the Stenson Fields & a well deserved 5🌟

Wonderful place to enjoy food and beer

Mushy peas weren't mushy, chips semi warm, salt pots would not release contents, overall disappointing.

Lived in the area for 7 years now and this was the first time we've been here. Only stopped off for a drink in the sun but was a lovely pit stop for our walk. Nice pint, clean pub and friendly staff. Will certainly stop off again.

Good for food and charging car.

We were a group of 10 with a reserved table. When we arrived it was quite busy but staff were amazing and took our order in a timely manner. The food took a little while to come out due to it being busy but when the food arrived, it all came out at the same time and everything was perfect. Staff were polite and helpful. Desserts were given in a timely manner. We are not local to Stenson but we were made to feel at home. Thank you ☺️

All the staff are really nice and welcoming. Stef and Greg always reminds me to use my loyalty app. All the staff let me know when the latest offers are available

What a amazing staff and place for food and drinks Great entertainment most weekends Great deals Great outside when weather is great Overall fantastic

Excellent Service! Gorgeous food and lovely work team!

Had a lovely meal with friends and, drinks. The staff were very attentive and welcoming. Really good selection of drinks and cocktails. Really reasonably priced food in a great location. Close to the park so rally food for families and dog walkers. Debbie, Lorna Greg and Sam couldn’t do enough to help us with our requirements. Food was served promptly and was hot and tasty and very good sized portions.

This spot is great for a lovely afternoon out..always find myself going back ..it must be the reason 😊 .............. .

Immaculate food and very kind and positive staff had wonderful customer service would definitely recommend to others . Will definitely be back .

Great place for meeting up with old friends

Nice atmosphere, clean and the food was amazing, best kids menu we've seen. 100% coming back (For 5 of us eating cost just £45) by far the cheapest for a family meal out. there is a fenced and gated play park opposite the beer garden.

A lovely local pub, with amazing friendly staff and a good menu. I would highly recommend and we would definitely go back, well done staff. We had a greatvtime. Accessibility: good Food: as a vegetarian, I was bowled over, one of those menus that I had a good choice and could dither over as to what I wanted to finally choose! The carnies with me loved their choice and the garden peas were not tinned (frozen ones I think)! Our hosts 'local', staff and customers greeting each other. Car park: ✓ Staff: ✓ Toilets: ✓

I used the Gent's toilet earlier today and they were disgusting. I have to question why there is such an horrendous smell. It's so bad that it can be smelt in the corridor in spite of double doors I will never eat in an establishment, that disregards basic hygiene. It poses the question, 'What is the food preparation area like?'

Shocking £5.29 for 3 pieces of chicken !! Ask staff said yes that’s what you get !

Went today with my family,5 adults 1 child ,it was fantastic ,the service ,food ,drink,atmosphere was just perfect especially for the cost,so thank you all so much for a spectacular job,well done.

Went to order drink and food at bar, employee called Greg was disgusting to me and my friend. He was totally and utterly rude. Clearly brought up with no manners. He kissed his teeth at me multiple times when i asked for a straw and gave me dirty looks the whole way through enjoying my meal that the chef had cooked for me. Apart from the rudeness of Greg and his awful manners and personality the food was lovely and very tasteful. Wouldn’t go back though. Maybe they should consider who they put at the bar to portray their pub!

We were due to go to the ragly boat stop for lunch with family had a quick look at the reviews and thought no way so we came here instead and we are so glad we did it was so nice the guy who took our order was lovely and the meal was really nice had a pudding as well so nice and a lovely atmosphere as we were leaving even though he was serving someone else the barman said goodbye and wished us a nice day we will definitely be going back.

Only had drinks as met up with family goid atmosphere

Me and my wife decided to come here for some drinks and food. I was very impressed with how we were accommodated the staff were friendly bubbly and attentive and the atmosphere was great. The food was we ordered delicious and there was great selection of drinks to choose from. Will definitely be returning.

Great welcoming staff Great food Great deals on drinks on a monday Great deals on food 2 for £11 Monday till Thursday Definitely worth a visit Great entertainment on most weekends

I visit this pub every week for food and drinks. The food is always amazing and a good portion size, the drinks are always served with a smile and fantastic quality. Would highly recommend this local to anyone. Really like the new food menus especially the chicken gyros… absolutely delicious. The staff are great and the manager Debbie, Lorna and the staff are alway welcoming and and creates a warm friendly atmosphere . Keep up the hard work.

I come to the Stenson Fields most Saturday evenings and the staff are great. Always happy to help with anything requested. I decided to have some food off the new menu and WOW. Not really a fan of Greek food but tried the Gyros wrap and it was beautiful!! Big thanks to Lorna, Debbie and the team for always making us fell welcome.

Fantastic place, went for dinner yesterday with some friends. Was quite busy for saying they had just opened. But couldn’t fault them. Food was great. Service was great. All over great pub! Thankyou!

I came in Tuesday afternoon and was served by the wonderful duo of Lorna and Luke when I first entered The food was absolutely amazing; the atmosphere is delightful and you can have a laugh with the staff members

We are regulars here and this place never disappoint! Bar staff friendly and welcoming despite it being busy. Food was delicious as always!! Massive thank you to Greg and luke for the welcoming atmosphere and also a thank you to Lorna as the food was presented beautifully and to perfection! Thanks again guys and will definitely be back.

Came in with my family for a nice little treat and we wasn’t disappointed. Lovely atmosphere. The staff made us feel welcomed and went above and beyond for my child. Lots of selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We ordered a mega mixed grill, the Greek burger and kids nuggets, chips and beans. The steak was cooked beautifully and the portion was massive. The Greek burger was juicy and filling. The staff was up for a laugh. What is good is dogs are very much welcomed in the bar. Couldn’t fault this pub at all. Always have deals on. Can’t wait for my next visit.

An hour for poor quality food. Avoid.

Always a welcome from all the staff, make myself and our family feel comfortable and nothing is to much trouble thank you all

Very busy but excellent service and staff

Lovely local pub with some fantastic team members, specifically Lauren and Zoe who are always great when I see them. I hope to come here more often

Excellent food at reasonable price

Quick service, friendly staff Meals were great

Service was friendly, greeted by the lad on the bar as soon as we walked in. Bar service was quick (same lad) Food came out in a reasonable time, 3 fish and a gammon. All enjoyable.

Nice selection menu, good drink and welcoming staff, somewhere different.

Clean place with friendly staff. Food is fine. Serving time is ok.

What a little gem hidden away Staff are really friendly Ordering food from a great menu and great selection of pub classics Great selection of drinks Even better on a Friday night and Saturday night £3 selection of drinks Will definitely be back soon

Came on a REALLY busy Friday evening to use the B.O.G.O.F burger deal (one of the many great deals that this pub regularly offer) and as always, despite how packed it was, we experienced fabulous service from ALL the staff and the usual quality, delicious food. Initially my meal was incorrect but this was sorted out immediately with no fuss whatsoever. If you are looking for a friendly pub with a great atmosphere, excellent value food and amazing staff then look no further than the Stenson Fields!

Brilliant pub very friendly staff excellent food.

Good food good atmosphere good service highly recommended

Great service and great staff.very nice food

We called in for a drink but sat outside because the weather was so nice. Not tried the food here. Looks good after a refurbishment.

It's such a welcoming, clean, intimate restaurant and bar. You can have dinner with your better half or a nice romantic evening or you can move over to the other side and have drinks with mates, watch some sport and make use of the pool table. A perfect two in one hang out local place.

Everything was fab, food and staff. Love coming here.

Came here for dinner and the halloumi wrap was fire 🔥 came out pretty fast which was nice Love how there's a doggie menu too

I ordered food to take away for my family. I did make a few changes as we are a fussy family, no issues for this team they were lovely, friendly and professional, food was lovely! Will be back!

Lovely family and dog friendly pub. Great food, great prices and all delivered with a smile. Would definitely recommend!!

So I came in for a drink and was served by a grumpy rude and impolite guy who served me called Sam.

Rude staff member called Sam So I came in for a drink and was served by a grumpy rude and impolite guy who served me called Sam. As a mystery diner I analyse everything and this member has no career within the Sizzling chain for his unfriendly attitude.

Food was delicious customer service was excellent. As always when me and my husband visit.

The atmosphere is relaxing and the food is wonderful. The people are great and all the staff from the manager the bar staff and the chiefs are out of this world by doing there best to make the customers and kids happy. Thank you to everyone at stenson field pub for the hard work each and everyone of you have put in.

Lovely staff always help, lovely food well cooked Thanks Chef ! Nice atmosphere if the music is not too loud

Enjoyed my visit, the staff were excellent and the same for the food.
