The Tupton Tap in North East Derbyshire

It's one of my locals, so get plenty of chances to check it out, which is good because I like it.

Great beer choices and customer service is amazing. One of the best local pubs in Chesterfield.

Lovely atmosphere and new landlords that clearly want it to become a friendly local pub again. They are working really hard to clean it up and get it back to it's former glory. Hopefully the kitchen will be back up and running later this year and food will be back on the menu.

It was ok no body inn not very friendly won't be going there in a hurry

A dead end pub turned into a comfy local 🍻

Staff are always welcoming. They have a great selection of beers that change regularly, so there's always something new to try - we haven't had a bad pint yet! The atmosphere is always friendly and relaxed

Went here for a birthday bash last night. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the beer prices were great and the atmosphere inside the venue was amazing, I really recommend people to check this place out

Since it's been taken over by the new management they have turned this pub around. Great fresh beer and a friendly atmosphere. Love it!!!

Great pub went to see Wicked Son, beer and atmosphere were great

Nice local pub great atmosphere and fair prices

Love our local pub. Great landlord and lady who know how to build loyalty in customers and keep them coming back. Last night they had a Jamaica food night. What a fantastic meal we had. I am of west Indian decent but born and bred in Nottingham. Both my parents came from Jamaica and I grew up eating predominantly West Indian food. I can honestly say that the food tonight was very authentic and i thoroughly enjoyed it as did my husband. Fantastic job and I hope to see you at the Tupton Tap again soon. Jackie an Mike.

The more you visit, the better it gets! Still haven't had a meal, but the beer is well conditioned.

This public house doesn't sell food but every other Thursday there is street food trailer (Po'Boy pies and sides) in the car park selling artisan hot pie meals. You can eat your food inside the pub the staff there are friendly and welcoming. These pies are amazing they come with fries or mash, peas, crispy onion and gravy and not forgetting the little bottle of hendos (Hendersons relish). Lee the owner of the trailer is very helpful and friendly, nothing too much trouble.

Such an amazing pub, a wide range of beers and ales. Especially the Lilleys mango cider (my favourite). The landlord and landlady are so lovely and welcoming. If you want a dog friendly, great pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff who serve great beer then this is the place 👌 massive shout out to Jo and Rich for always making us welcome and making the pub great again.

What a lovely pub. Such a warm welcome from Richard and Jo. Great selection of real ales. Had 2 very nice pork pies. Fire was lit adding to the atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

First visit, nice pub and an excellent choice of real ales

This pub has improved vastly since the new landlord arrived. Clean & cosy. Quiz night, open mic night & Po pies evening are just a few of the events occurring at present.

Under the new management of Richard and Jo, this pub has been turned around. Lots of new ales each week and a fabulous welcome. Would highly recommend.

Richard and Jo are a welcome change after the last two useless landlords! The atmosphere is finally back and the beer is great. Well worth a visit nowadays.

Lovely place with a great selection of drinks. The staff were friendly and helpful when I was deciding what to have to drink, offering recommendations which made it easier to choose what to have. The pub is dog friendly and very cosy inside. I would definitely recommend and will be returning very soon to sample some more of what they have on tap.

Great beers and fantastic people either side of the bar!

Good beer but unfortunately not enough food on offer 😔

Good selection of beers smashing staff and good prices

Lovely Sunday Roast, great, friendly staff and landlord.

Lovely friendly pub and they let dogs in the bar as well and nice beer garden

Good range of beers, friendly staff, dog friendly, and a nice atmosphere

What a lovely little pub with a great selection of ales. Kelly and Matt are doing a fantastic job. I'd refused to step foot in this building we ith the previous owners and staff but the atmosphere these guys have created is wonderful no matter what day on the week.

Was a quiet tuesday night but good beer, good prices, good sized car park and friendly staff, will be visiting again soon

This is my favorite place. Great staff, management, and atmosphere whatever night we visit. It's like home from home, but with well kept beer and fabulous food 👌 Definitely recommend!

Walked 3 hours to this pub and it wasn’t open (we should of checked website) , but the outside looked nice so 4/5 stars

Beautiful country pub. Lots of ales on. Amazing wine list. Teles showing the sports and very friendly.

Really nice pub very friendly great quiz on a wednesday evening

Great place good selection of real ales at a reasonable price. Could do with a few more tables outside because it's got a lovely beer garden to enjoy on a summer evening.

Excellent beer selection, nice and cosy atmosphere

Nice pub but extortionate prices for drinks, I had pint of Cider £4.40 !!! £3.20 down the road half a mile away. Can remember now why I don't go very often!!

Just dropped in for a drink on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Good choice, friendly service, garden area 🙂

Always excellent. Good choice of drinks- people are lovely.

Kelly n Matt are amazing. Lovely experience all round. Would recommend a visit for a lovely pint

What a transformation! Beer tastes amazing and the service is met with a smile! Kelly and Matt thank you!

Fab pub grub, uber friendly staff and great choice of real ales

Brilliant selection of beer and very friendly helpful staff.

Fair sized car park, not a bad place to be honest. Not to far from Chesterfield Town centre or surrounding takeaways.

Bit busy when we visited and one person serving

Charlie and team are brilliant, never a dull day at the Tap! Beer is good, with a vast range, ask the staff about any and they will always give good advice. Food is spot on and is balanced quite well with the type of pub and clientele it attracts (middle class mostly).

Nice pub, Nice people, Nice beer. I cant fault it.

Extensive drink choice, tasty bar food and to top it of with great atmosphere. great pub!

Brilliant atmosphere, lovely food and a great selection of alcohol. Well worth a visit.

What a great pub run by a great team of friendly, accommodating peopl. We live nearby and this pub is a great addition to our area. The food is amazing, the range of beers is great and the atmosphere is spot on. We visit often and I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for always offering a great service Tupton Tap.

We decided to try the takeaway food service on offer this weekend; 3 of us had the Humpty Dumpty Easter special burger, and 1 Mother Clucker with 2 brownies. As soon as we picked the food up it smelt amazing and the food itself did not disappoint, such great value for money for the amount that you get and the taste!The family and I have been to the pub previous to lockdown and enjoyed the atmosphere and service and this occasion was no different!Charlie and Chloe have made such a welcoming pub for people to visit, I don't often go the pub, but I look forward to seeing what the two put on and do with the Tupton Tap when things start getting back to normal!

Excellent take away burgers again. Both had chicken burgers this time: Bries knees absolutely divine- full of flavour! Other half had Mother clucker, spicy but exactly what he was hoping for. Looking forward to reopening with this food menu sticking around!

Great local pub, such a friendly atmosphere which we can’t wait to get back to when lockdown is over. Not completely missing out as the takeaway food is delicious and hasn’t disappointed!

Excellent takeaway food! Charlie and Chloe are always very welcoming and accommodating. Can’t wait to be back in the pub soon!

Only moved here before first lockdown and visited The Tupton Tap most weekends with the family the service is great, staff are so friendly and the food during lockdown has been absolutely amazing. Thank you so much guys.

I don’t know if any pub doing so much to keep their customers happy during these lockdowns, fantastic online presence and even better service in person! Would recommend to anyone looking for drinks and/or food in a homely environment.

Just enjoyed a fantastic takeaway tea from the Tupton Tap. Burgers and tapas were as good as they can be! All 4 of us delighted. When it was open the terrific Team Tap served a lovely choice of beers, lagers, ciders, gins and any other drink you could want. During Lockdown they have strived to provide a takeaway service of beers and food and the standard has been terrific. We've just feasted on burgers and tapas. A total treat. Keep up the good work Team Tap! I'll be back!

Would just like to say thankyou brilliant hosts lovely food and well under control with social distançing if one wondered they would be reminded politely . Brilliant would recommend. thankyou

This is our local pub and it is very convenient for us to get to and we have had many great nights in here. It is such a lovely pub with a cosy atmosphere and we enjoy attending as both a couple and as a group. The only thing that lets this place down is that the food is not consistent and it is very hit and miss if they are serving or not. I haven't got enough fingers to count the amount of times we have been turned away if this was sorted out it would definitely be 5 stars.

Under yet another new manager the Tupton Tap now offers good food as well as good beer. The Sunday carvery has a choice of 3 meats and a good range of well-cooked vegetables. It is well worth a visit.

Attended tupton tap for the England game on Saturday. Had a cider and sausage festival on. Good choice of both. Loved the pork and tomato sausage. We also had some nibbles too go with the sausages. Would recommend the squid that was great. Handmade Chips were also tasty. The Brie bites were lovely put very sickly should make the portions smaller. Good selection of real ales. It was also a good atmosphere in the pub for the game which was a plus. Felt sorry for the lad behind the bar he was on his own for a while, on a busy Saturday with the football and event on. Would return for a drink and I’d like to try for a meal with my partner.

Just had a lovely meal at this Public House with 7 Real Ales on the bar. It has recently had the kitchen closed for a period but it is now up and running again and serving excellent food, if the 2 meals we had are any guide. Both meals were hot, freshly prepared, more than sufficient and delicious. The surroundings are pleasant, the staff are friendly and keen to please. It has a dog friendly section and, as a bonus, it will serve the Real Ales in 1/3rd pints so you can sample a number of different ales with your meal.

Called in today at about 4pm, the food was delicious and served straight away. Compliments to the Chef, I had Cajun chicken. Would eat here again.

Called in tonight at 6.30 for something to eat. The pub was not at all busy and having got menus, we easily found a table and chose our meals. From the point where our choices were ordered , we waited forty minutes . When the food arrived, served in wire baskets,it looked appetising but I was completely unable to cut my steak. Question to management - have you tried cutting steak in a wire basket?? I'm sure that if I had been able to cut the steak, it would have been tasty but I fond it impossible. So I have to conclude that with a Forty minute wait for foodand no explanation as to why this was in a not too busy pub, and food that was impossible to eat in a ridiculous wire basket, We shall not be returning.

We were so happy to have this local pub given a make over and for ashover brewery to take it on. Great refurbishment and it's very welcoming. The beer us fab.Food... not consistent. We have had two nice meals and three really terrible ones. Pizzas with raw undercooked bases, baked potatoes.... not baked but microwaved with a scruffy salad. It's such a shame we were rather disappointed.

We called into the Tupton Tap on Easter Sunday for lunch, alarm bells should have rang when we had a large choice of tables on what should have been a very busy day. We ordered 2 Sunday lunches and sat in a soulless atmosphere awaiting our food to arrive. it arrived cold and piled high on the plate. The pork was in little chunks not slices and it looked very unappetizing. We sent it back paid for the drinks and left, never to return.

My husband and I decided to try the Sunday lunch here. We have been in a few times for a drink and find it to be a nice pub. My husband likes his real ales so it’s right up his street. We both had the roast beef dinner. It was a lovely home cooked meal. Plenty of beef, boiled and roast potatoes. Four veg and a large Yorkshire pudding. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted. We will definitely return

Thought we would try the Tupton Tap for a meal, was very disappointed when the card machine was broken so we couldn’t pay for the meal. Nothing on Facebook, no signage too say it’s cash only. Not going too rerun

This is a great pub, great atmosphere,good music, nice staff, good service and good food. One problem... The chef who makes a habit of walking into the bar is manky. It's off puting when you go in for a meal and see the chef with dirty trousers and filthy apron. We have left on many occasions without eating when we've seen him, a clean uniform would make the world of difference.

Just called in for some mid week food. Great food and really friendly staff. Will definitely be returning!

Knowing that this pub was refurbished by the owner of the Poets Corner we thought we would give it a try. Phoned to book table for 6 people for 7pm. When we arrived the pub was almost empty (perhaps due to the snow?) We asked for 2 pints of Guinness and were told they dont sell it. When I said we had booked a table we were told to just sit anywhere. We were then given a pint pot full of cutlery and a menu that looked it had just been printed out and nothing like what was on the website. We had to order the food at the bar. Having waited for our meal when it arrived it was in a wire basket (not on a plate). Three of us had steak but we had to try and cut it with a normal knife. Our daughter had a pizza and we ended cutting our steak up on her pizza board. The couple we were with ordered fish and chips and a burger. The batter was not cooked properly, the burger had a piece of stone in it and he nearly broke his filling. Bit of advice - please ditch the baskets and put food on plates, sort a proper menu out and stick to that menu. Sorry we wont be coming back again. We were reimbursed for the burger meal but we still didnt enjoy the night. I suggest you visit the Poets Corner, when you arrive your table is already made up with condiments, knives and forks etc and the staff there come and take your order.

We’ve eaten at the Tupton Tap several times since Christmas. The food is very good and well presented. There is a varied menu and plenty for vegetarians, which is excellent news. The real ale is much appreciated too.

beautiful refurb, staff faultless,waited 40 mins for food when pub was quiet and when food arrived ,was disappointing fish just batter, over cooked,peas table spoon full,home made tartar sauce bland, burger however was very good, so was coleslaw but again tablespoonfull not enough, let down with french fries instead of chips, over priced,won't be returning sorry,such a shame,could easily be put right.good luck for future.

We called in for a 'quick bite' of lunch. Arrived at 12.10 and was told that the menus were not available but we're being put into their covers 'as we speak'. We assumed that there would only be a short delay so ordered a drink. 20 minutes later we were told the menus couldn't be printed (making the first statement untrue) so we were 'talked through' the menu. No prices were given. We each ordered a sandwich and asked if we wanted chips with those and we said we didn't. 30 minutes later the sandwiches arrived....with chips. I had chosen chicken and mayo. The chicken was warm so the mayo had turned thin and runny. The chips were nice though! We might return one evening to sample the beer....but first impressions were disappointing. I understand that it was the first day of a new menu and having a menu available for customers to see is fundamental. Things can go wrong but an unfortunate start and enough time/preparation would have prevented it.

Thursday lunchtime visit. Fairly recently reopened and refurbished premises. Traditional Pub environment, with good real ale choices from a local micro brewery. The food was average, portions are generous. Nothing special here, but worth a visit nonetheless.

We went last night with friends. Very limited menu and one selection was not available. The food we had was good pub food done well, large portions. No puddings available! Also wanted a bottle of Prosecco but only small ones chilled. Enjoyed the evening overall. Friendly service. Think it's more of a beer drinkers pub than anything else.

Took my gran here it was terrible if you call that a roast dinner carrots was cold the roast potatoes was hard and the parsnips if that’s what you call for five of nearly 50 what a waste of money

I am absolutely livid. After spending quite a bit of money at this place before, drinks, meals etc.. we thought we'd call here for a couple after work with the kids. Fair enough we have 3 children, more than most but none of them were allowed by us to "run riot". We sat them down, out of the way of people eating etc. 2 of our children then started crying, I changed them (on the floor of the toilets as there is no baby change) I gave them milk, unfortunately this only helped a little. Bearing in mind this had only been going on for around 15 minutes and I was already very conscious of disturbing people so I thought I will get them something to eat, however when I went to the bar I was told by the landlady that we would have to move from where we were because they had 'other customers' to consider. Fair enough, I understand that our children crying may have been causing 'annoyance' to some but we have been to other places where staff have been more than helpful to bring them paper, colours to help to entertain them. I know now that this is not a family friendly pub at all! It's such a shame as The Old Poets corner is one of our favourite places and so we thought that this place could be a 'new local' for us but after this experience I can definitely say I will not ever step foot in this place again. We were trying our very best to sort our children so we were not disturbing anyone but as anyone with young children know it's not always so easy. I felt embarrassed in front of others as the land lady felt it was fine to ask us to move in front of all the other customers, not discretely. I'm so so angry and upset, I understand that our children's behaviour was causing annoyance to others BUT it was 16:45 on a Friday afternoon, we were thinking of ordering food as I know the reason why they were crying is because it was teatime and they were hungry but because of how we have been treated and made to feel we will not be visiting here again! I'm absolutely disgusted!

Warm welcoming place, charming eclectic decor (want a barrel light!), extensive beer & gin menu, decent, reasonably priced food menu and more than happy with what we received -unpretentious, good quality, well cooked fare. And we like the wee dog x

Very unorganised, had to wait over 15 mins to even be told what was on the menu for Sunday lunch, had a dog trying to jump on my knee whilst I was eating & walking about freely in the restaurant, menu sounds good but was very underwhelming! service and taste wise, so sorry but £2.80 for half of fosters & a dog wondering around the eating area is not for me, I wish them the best as a villager but my experience was not pleasant.

Beers are generally very good but can be flat. Have not tried the food because it seems very overpriced and not a varied menu. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Would prefer fewer dogs and children in what is essentially a drinkers pub.

Really good place now that Ashover Brewery have taken over. Beers are well-served and there is always a good variety on the bar.

Newly reopened ; Kevin and Lisa working very hard to establish a good reputation, great asset in Bella the pub dog! Food improving ,well decorated clean welcoming pub , very popular this weekend with the bank holiday beer festival ; massive choice of ales ciders etc etc ; well done for reopening ,already had some lovely nights here , hoping for some more

You will receive a warm welcome at this Newley refurbished old retreat.plenty of choice when it comes to real ale and amazing home cooked food.this is a must to try and would highly recommend

Only recently opened after being closed for a while (royal oak) it is now a "proper" pub stocking a superb selection of their own Ashover ales and stouts as well as a selection of guest beers, they also have a good selection of wines and spirits...including a small but we'll selected range of Gins!
