The Welbeck Inn in Chesterfield

Good priced beer, absolutely beautiful food and friendly staff. What a find!! Great menu, great prices and big portions

Fabulously decorated pub and great staff serving too, friendly and helpful This pub, tucked away, is no longer Greene King but always has good beer, great wine all at a reasonable price and food too We visited at Halloween 🎃 and the decorations were amazing. Well worth seeing 👀 Well worth a visit all round and welcoming decor, especially the comfy settees !

Brutally honest and funny barman re drink preferances...refreshing approach. Nice atmosphere, various theme nights, quick service and quirky pub. Close to the centre. Small bar and tables close together. Parking metres away.

Found this place almost by accident on a trip to Chesterfield. Nice selection of ales and nice to be able to engage the local and the bar staff in conversation. Will deffo make a return trip next time I am in town.

We have been to the Hidden Knight before but not for a few years. The food was absolutely stunning. The portions were huge and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be returning

The food is amazing! Home made, generous portions and a great price. Highly recommend and might have to return every weekend!

We had an absolutely lovely wedding day lunch at The Hidden Knight. Not only was the food great but the personalised finishing touches were fantastic; from the handmade name cards and the special cocktails (the "blue unicorns" went down a treat and I loved the "Lisa's choice"), to the signage that perfectly fitted with our theme. It was clear from the start that they were all willing to listen to what we'd like, give advice and adapt where needed to make everything run smoothly for us, they really did go above and beyond for us and I truly appreciate it - I 100% made the right decision when I walked in their door to ask about whether we could come for a meal after our wedding. I would highly recommend this place for a group event if you'd like somewhere with a relaxed vibe and personal touches - absolutely fantastic!!!

Been here 3 times for dinner and all 3 times were loverly.friendly staff who can't do Enough for you. Food is loverly not been disappointed any time.

The Hidden Knight (HK) Chesterfield Derbyshire A Green King pub with unusual free house favouring of multiple guest ales. A true quiet little gem of a bar, easily overlooked for being off the main market square. They were promoting forthcoming midsummer Xmas party nights and a Father Ted themed murder mystery during my visit. Arthur Chappell

Lovely pub on many visits but spoilt by rude and arrogant manager and partner which was surprising and disappointing as Chesterfield does need pubs - many have closed down. Hopefully in time they will be replaced by someone friendly as its a managed property I assume.

Lovely pub in the heart of Chesterfield and friendly welcoming staff. Amazing food and extremely good value.

Cant believe how this place has gone down hill since the last tenants left (they had it 25 years) it's dire! Staff are rude and the place is freezing. I'll not be going back any time soon.

First time here since its refurbishment. Friendly staff. Homemade food. With daily specials. Worth a visit when in town.

Went in for lunch. Lovely lady behind the bar really friendly. Food basic not a la carte but very good and plenty of it you won't walk away hungry

My Wife and I have visited here on a few occasions. The Pub has had a Makeover from its old Welbeck days , which gives it a pleasant ambiance , although the older version was , for me , more cosy. We did find the place uncomfortably cold in the Winter , but this had improved on a recent visit , as had the weather. The Service is friendly and efficient and there are a very good range of Beers and other drinks on offer. We have not as yet eaten there , but the Menu does look interesting. The Hidden Knight is a good Pub , but I do miss the Food and the atmosphere from its Predecessor. Worth a visit !

Nice to see the pub has changed hands. They have a good selection of beers. They have a great menu and the food is really nice. The pub is clean and the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. I wish them all the very best for the future.

The Welbeck of Chesterfield, has gone to be replaced by, the ever growing in popularity, The Hidden Knight.. There's a great selection of alcoholic beverages and the food is great. I like food but the size of these portions just about beat me. For a pub and restaurant that is situated in the centre of Chesterfield all the drinks prices are very reasonably priced. I've visited quite a number of times now for meals and for evening nights of music nights. I particularly like the "music jam" sessions. Anyone a musician, turn up and play (check websites for what is happening). Own the mic nights are great too..this is NOT karaoke. A band, or just a bunch of musicians, play music to your chosen song. A little bit bored? They have books to read as well as pool, darts and a growing number of games to play. The Hidden Knight has been open a few months now and they have got a great team running the place and their number one priority is the customers satisfaction. No bad behaviour is acceptable and you will be quickly dealt with. ABUSE towards any member of the staff and you will be barred. I love it and it's fast becoming my favourite local to go to. If you are from Chesterfield or visiting the historic market town and twisted Spire church, try to make sure to pay a visit to the Hidden Knight..

The Pub is currently being re-furbished and it may re-open soon ! It will be interesting to see the outcome !

We stopped here for a pub lunch, so glad we did! Great traditional pub atmosphere, excellent food cooked to order, very reasonable prices. Can’t fault it!

A traditional pub where you can get decent food and friendly service without it costing a fortune. If you need to grab a bite to eat while in town you won't go wrong here

Popped in here today after walking Chesterfield looking for a nice place. I enjoyed a 2 course lunch with a hot drink for £5.50! The lamb and mint pie was homemade, served with gravy, chips and veg... When I was ready for my pudding, I went up to the bar with my raffle ticket then 2mins later out came a delicious homemade cherry crumble with custard. I was very happy with my choice! The portions were quite small so wouldn't be good for a big appetite but a nice little pub with great value food.

had lunch here the other day. simple homemade food in an old traditional pub. a lot of characterful locals. What pubs used to be like

Had Sunday Lunch and sweet which were well cooked and plenty of it reasonable priced will call again when next in Chesterfield

I visited with mum last week as we had a few appointments in town. Handy location near to the banks and car park. Comfy seating and it felt clean too. There were a few locals / regulars sat chatting around the bar. We ordered the cheese, potato and broccoli pie and it was delicious and hot with prompt friendly service. They don't take cards so take cash with you. We had 2 meals, 2 puddings and drinks and it cost £19 in total. Really enjoyed the experience and we are planning on visiting again next week.

I usually just grab a sandwich and a drink from town when on my dinner break, but when the family joined me today we needed somewhere warm with some warm food inside us. I’d not visited The Wellbeck Inn for a fair few years, but the interior hasn’t changed and neither has the great value for money or friendly service.Cash only so make sure you visit the cash point and you pay for food and drinks separately. You then get a raffle ticket that’s called out when your food is ready.All four of us ate for around £15 - steak/kidney pie; scampi and two toastier. Drinks are also inexpensive, but latte tasted more like instant coffee, but still pleasant.The staff are very friendly and we will go again ... great experience.

A no frills but obviously well run pub. Landlord really nice welcoming guy. Prices and food quality excellent. Nothing fancy but everything really well done. We had a prawn sandwich, ham sandwich and chips. Baps were lovely and fresh. Plenty of nice prawns with sauce served separately, ham real carved ham not the plastic stuff, salad crisp and fresh. Prices excellent, service delightful and hot food looked really good too. Beer also excellent. Locals all really friendly and there's a pool table too.Will definitely return

When you enter the Welback Inn prepare to experience to the good old days when pubs felt warm & cosy. This is one of those pubs that make you feel merry & comfortable plus they serve delicious piping hot foods where you can see and smell the vapours tempting you to took in and fill up your belly. The floater was the perfect drink served with a mouth watering hot battered fish. Lastly a lovely clean and cheerful place with really welcoming and friendly staff.

Nice old Pub , excellent Food at extremely competitive prices , a good choice of Beers. What is there not to like ?

I last reviewed this Pub five years ago. Standards are thankfully still equally high , which is something that can not often be said about Pubs and Restaurants. Okay , the daily Menu is now £4-50p and not £2-99p. A sign of the times. A varied Menu with good choices and some interesting Specials on the Blackboard. Service is friendly and efficient. Drinks are very reasonably priced. A great Town Centre Pub , which is still well worth a visit.

Popped in out of the cold for a coffee the place was empty due to the snow ,we ended up having a hot chocolate it was served in a lovely glass with cream what a nice surprise the lady behind the bar even gave us a chocolate biscuit to go with it

We actually just went in this pub to get a pot tea and get out of the cold and im so glad we did. We had ta lovely greeting from the staff and a couple of ladies (obviously regulars) also welcomed us. We ordered a pot of tea and we had it within minutes. We decided to give the food a try. I had cottage pie, chips, carrots and peas and the fella had jacket potato and salad and the food was absolutely delicious. Then we spotted a pudding menu so a round of treacle sponge and bread and butter pudding, both with custard were called for. Once Again we weren't disappointed. Both the dinner and pudding were out within ten minutes. There was a man sat at the table next to us who enjoyed his steak pie, chips and mushy pea's that much he actually ordered another one. We we even more pleasantly surprised when the bill only came to £15.60 for a pot of tea for two ,two dinners and two puddings. We will certainly be going back.

Popped in for some food and a drink, We ordered Meat & Potato Pie, with chips and peas. All of which was cooked to perfection. It was so tasty. Prices are very reasonable too and the staff are very friendly. A good old fashioned pub

We popped in today for the first time ...

Mi esposo, amigo y yo fuimos a este restaurante y la comida era muy agradable y el personal era muy amable. Vamos a este restaurante, cada vez que vamos a Chesterfield. Los precios de las comidas están bien vale la pena pagar por y es un agradable y acogedor pub. Sin duda visitar el pub mantener con mi marido y amigos.

Popped in here for a couple of shandys/wines after a few hours of shopping. Nice place to relax and unwind. Prices were very reasonable, so like you do, we had another round. Staff were very professional and provided prompt service. Will call again.

Fuimos un domingo y optaron por la cena de carne seguido por apple cayera todo por 5 - 99. Nos sirvieron muy rápidamente por una encantadora chica que era educado, atento y eficiente. La comida estaba bien preparado y sabroso. No está mal para el precio. El único pequeño problemillas que tuve fue, la carne era muy finas probablemente a procesar y el flan estaba hecha con agua. Sin embargo, en general, no es una mala comida abundante y la cerveza también era bueno. Iré de nuevo.

Usted y restaurante italiano son quizás el Pinochios sólo restantes del 1980 / 90 establecimientos todavía por la ciudad mercado de Chesterfield oh gracias a Dios y por favor, no cambiar nada.

La comida aquí es la auténtica comida de pub, que es comida casera. Los precios son excelentes. Tienen que ser las comidas más razonables en la ciudad. Sin sacrificar en calidad que pueden agregar. El personal es muy amable, acogedor y profesional. He visitado el...

I ve been coming here for about three years now after rambles in the north of Chesterfield. I`ve never had a bad meal or needed to ask for service, the place is as good a city centre pub as I`ve found any where in the East Midlands. £4.00 pensioner`s special; fish, chips, peas and salad, pot of tea and pudding and custard. Delicious!

Vinimos aquí porque es el único perro establecimiento hospitalario en Chesterfield, pero no era realmente de mi gusto personal - era lúgubre y concreto dentro. La comida era muy buena relación calidad-precio y un servicio amable, sin embargo no fue del todo impresionado - mi chaqueta patata no sabor fresco. Había un montón de gente haciendo ruido en el jardín de la cerveza que penetró en nuestro almuerzo tranquilo.

Just had corned beef pie and the accompaniments for £4.25. Speedy and pleasant service. A place for older customers like me probably.

Didn't eat here but had a drink, nice older style pub where you can chat and meet without blaring music. Liked it.

Excellent nite at the Welbeck never fails to amuse. Really friendly bar staff. Food excellent value for money as well..

Only been in for drinks with the rest of the Teddyboys,but we always get a good reception.Nice people get in here.

Never had a bad meal yet. It's cheap and cheerful stuff and the hot meals are filling. Busy -but the cheerful staff are very fast serving. I keep going back. £5 will get you a main course plus hot drink.

Fab meals real value for money. Friendly busy pub I usually go on Thursday ehich is flea market day. Can highly recommend the quiche my parents love yhe home made pies. Nevrr had cause to complain it's lovely there and I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else :)

The service is so fast as well.Steak and kidney pie is delicious. Leave room for a £2 dessert if you can.

New menu`s are out, special`s board board changes daily, the sweets are to die for. Everyone is chatty, its good to come in and enjoy a coffee too

We love to go to eat here on a Saturday lunchtime and can't recommend it enough. The food is tastey and we love the puddingsWe never fail to meet and sit next to interesting people.

Came here quite a few times. Delicious meals and very friendly staff. Me and my friend enjoyed our meal very much. We did go just for coffee a few times and the coffee was really nice. Definatly going again when having lunch in town. Would recommend it to all Chesterfield locals and visitors.

Highly recommend the home made meat & potato pie : ). There is a good choice of food from the specials board and the menu`s on the tables Great value, will definately return All the staff are really friendly and helpful, can`t wish for more

We found the pub via another website but we were so impressed with the hospitality and value for home cooked food that we felt should pass the word on. The pub is dog friendly serving an excellent pint, which was followed by their home made meat pie and chips.

My husband and I were looking for somewhere to eat in chesterfield with our dog this proved to be very difficult until someone on the market suggested the welbeck inn dogs are aloud in the big room the land lady was lovely even offered a our dog a treat great place very homely good food friendly pub fast service great will be going back top marks

Went to the Welbeck for Sunday lunch, staff were really helpful and friendly and the prices for food were very reasonable. Defiantly value for money would recommend this pub to anyone who fancies a quick bite to eat with fast service and a large selection of food.

Highly recommended for character but not to everyone's liking. Sackful of character. It'll be a marmite moment. Two suits walked in and walked out. The food is incredibly cheap. Of note is the very extensive vegetarian menu. Dog friendly. Pool table. There are all sorts of characters and visitors here all adding to the rich tapestry of life. The landlady is holding it all together - we visited it at lunch time - and apologised having spotted that the vegetarian Shepard pie had been served with non veg gravy and had it returned to the kitchen for a replacement. This level of attention and care is what one dreams for when eating out. Pub food is fine and lots of choice. Leek and cheese quiche, seafood platter all good . Outside spaces for smokers.

For the price, you cannot beat this pub in Chesterfield for food.We've been going quite regularly since we discovered it 6 years ago.It attracts all sorts of people and we've found that everyone will talk to you if you want to be friendly.Many of the customers are regulars and the owners and staff are very very welcoming.Taking a wheelchair is not easy but possible.

My family and I eat at the welbeck very often we have two young children who are always made welcome by dawn, ken, trevor and the rest off the staff. The food is of excellent quality and value for money xx

We can't recommend this place enough. It's suits us down to the ground...,There are many other places to eat at in Chesterfield but they are not like this..The food is lovely always and the company are regularly interesting and fascinating.We have many new friends there.

It was a very busy pre-Christmas service so the place was full. Christmas dinner was on the menu, but after a bit of thought I chose the roast chicken which came with a jacket potato, peas & some salad. It was absolutely delicious. To my shame, I couldn't finish it. The service was prompt & very polite but we were not rushed, & my friend lingered over her coffee. We ended up sharing the table with a couple of friends who'd come in for their turkey & the trimmings at a bargain price - it was good to talk to them Very, very good value for money but more than that, a lovely meal & an afternoon out to remember.

When in town we do go in for a coffee and biscuits .Also there is a good choice of food on menu, at reasonable prices. Many thanks to Ken & Dawn and all staff,

I used to visit this pub all the time, but it changed over the years and it lost all it's regular customers. Times change and it is back on the route now as only one of a handful of pubs worth visiting in Chesterfield town centre. They do food and have some great beer too, pleasant bar staff and a pool table. Worth a visit if your in Chesterfield town centre.

We found this delightful and traditional old pub, just off the market square, quite by accident and received a thoroughly friendly welcome from the Landlord. The menu offered excellent traditional pub fare which was delivered quickly as we enjoyed a bottle of house wine and one of the good selection of ales. Our lunch was excellent: very inexpensive and yet real value for money. If you wish to enjoy a traditional pub in Chesterfield , seek no further.

Went here once with friends, never again. Food was not very palatable, wine was like vinegar, chips tasted of very old chip fat. Place is definitely a bit scruffy and tables sticky and none too clean.Obviously popular with oaps, but not for me. Had indigestion after the steak pie, enough said

We popped into The Welbeck Inn on Saturday lunchtime after walking past a few times and smelling the food. As we are new to Chesterfield we like to try different places and this was our first visit to a town centre pub.The pub was busy when we walked in with almost every table taken, mostly by a more elderly clientele. We found a table in a quiet room away from the main bar but unfortunately there was no atmosphere in this area.We both decided to go for a light bite of Cheese Burger & Chips but should have been warned by the price of just £3.35 each. The ordering was done at the bar and the service was quick, efficient and friendly.When the meals came out, the chips were pleasant, the small salad was ok but the burger was lacking in thickness and probably meat content as well. It was as thin as a wafer and very well done. There was no flavour and the cheese didn't really add anything to it. However, for just over three quid it's probably the best it would ever be or they wouldn't make any money. It did represent very good value as the food and both drinks came to just over a tenner. However, I would rather pay a little more and have better quality. The pub also let themselves down a bit as the table was dirty and sticky and the cutlery had to be chosen carefully.I did like the fact that the pub was busy and popular for many local people, but it won't be somewhere that we will be back to I'm afraid.

Really nice meal and drink deffo will be a coming back again value for money good customer service 1st time I've been in I will b back

Meals are tiny and not good quality not my cup of tea.where we sat by bar was filthy.seems full of locals and horrible atmosphere.

Visited her before Christmas last year and kept meaning to pop back, so on Tuesday 24th June, I took my wife to Chesterfield and popped in for dinner. I had a fish dish with chips and side salad and my wife had the half a chicken meal. The meals were very good and all the staff were very friendly. We hope to return again very soon

the welbeck inn in my opinion the best pub in chesterfield opens at 9.30 coffee and a warm scone and a nice greeting when you walk though the door. dawn and ken and there staff take extra care in looking after there customers new and old. the food is the best i have tasted the half chicken is to die for i have tried most of the menu and cannot fault it at all fresh veg home made pies and the sweats that dawn makes sell out so quick so get in early and they are the lowest prices for pub food in Chesterfield and also a great selection of beers a great atmosphere. I can recommend the welbeck when you are in chesterfield pop in they will be pleased to see you but get there in good time for lunch they get very busy and to me when a pub is full that is the best sign keep up the good work

This is clearly a "local's" pub. We were made welcome & my food order was taken from the table because the landlord was talking very sweetly to the elderly gentleman next to me. The lager was good. £3 50 for leek & chicken pie plus veg & potatoes is very good value, but not if the pie is unglazed with ham in it, the spuds are chips, the carrots are not properly defrosted & the plate is swimming in gravy making everything soggy. Sorry. Not good. The lousiest meal out I've had in ages. Probably ever.

As I was Christmas shopping in Chesterfield on Monday 9th December), I didn't fancy Wetherspoons bland food, so strolled round the Market and spotted this pub up a side street. When arriving it was quite busy and I found myself a small table for 2 in the lounge. I was greeted by a friendly Barman(might have been the manager) and ordered Home made steak pie and chips for £2,99 and a pint of fosters. The meal didn't take too long to arrive at my table by a smiling waitress, I didnt know the meal also came with peas and carrots and gravy as well. As I finished my meal, the chef asked if I enjoyed my meal. As I was getting ready to go, 3 ladies on the table behind me, I overheard them arranging to meet up again for a meal in a few weeks time and they all had their diarys at the ready, this showing a good sign for the pub as these were regualrs. Already told the wife that I will bring her to Chesterfield and we will have a meal here

Dropped in here for a quick snack on a Saturday lunchtime and was taken by the atmosphere. It's quite clearly a very popular local, with lots of customers who know the staff well. The staff were efficient and friendly, and the food was astonishingly cheap. Since I only had a snack I couldn't really comment on the quality of other meals, but the menus looked as if they offered plain but satisfying food. The very opposite of a chain pub.

The staff are extremely friendly here, especially the Sunday Lunch team who always help you out to the best of their ability! I would reccomend this restaurant to anyone who fancies a cheap meal at a very high quailty! Thanks to all the staff there, we will be visiting again shortly!

Great little pub food great value for money.... Sunday lunch brill fresh veg and homemade yorkies great

Amazingly cheap prices and good home-cooked food make this one of the best places to eat in Chesterfield. I don't understand the person who would rather eat and drink at Weatherspoons. There is just no comparison. The Old Speckled Hen is always good which is more than can be said for the beer at the Portland (Weatherspoons). The pies are splendid. I have yet to weaken and sample the desserts at £1.95 but I suspect it won't be long before I do!

Whether you are a local regular or a new visitor, on your own, or not, there is always a friendly warm welcome at the Welbeck, Food and drinks are unbeatable! Home cooked food at very reasonable prices, quite an extensive menu and coffee that you can afford. Hence we lunch there at least once a week. The service is excellent and the staff seem to have been there forever - that's got to be a good sign! Ken and Dawn -the owners are nearly always there, working I might add: How many pubs can you say that for these days? it's not a chain, (thank goodness) and it's not huge, it's very personable. There are 3 areas to this pub, a tabled restaurant area, a lounge style area with T.V (not too loud) and pleasant relaxing music. All clean and tidy (inc. the toilets!). Then there's a more traditional bar too. So ........Fed up with Costa/Nero? - yeah me too, or enjoy a cask pint? see you there then :-) Park at the doughnut in town, it's not far!

Call here for a stop off for snack and coffee inbetween shopping...or have a lunch time special from the specials board...the hosts and staff are very friendly and service is quick..Car parking is available across the road at the town hall...The famous Chesterfield market is on the doorstep...prices are very reasonable too...

We were meandering around Chesterfield looking for somewhere to eat and after looking at many of the other menus and prices, thought we were out of luck. Then we stumbled upon The Welbeck.A traditional pub serving traditional pub fayre at excellent prices.All of the meals are very good value (we had half roast chicken and chips £3.50) and observing all the empty plates going back to the kitchen I assume everything else on the menu tasted as good as ours.One small critism is that the drinks are a little more expensive than I am used to, but overall a very pleasant place which I am happy to recommend.

Popped in on spec looking for somewhere to eat on a Monday lunch time. we were pleasantly surprised by this little place. The place was clean, perhaps a bit old fashioned but definitely bustling. It is a pleasant change to the high street big name coffee chains. The beer was good, food good too. It was good to see that tables were cleared as soon as they were vacated. We will definitely lunch here again when we visit Chesterfield

Prices have gone up a bit but the Welbeck still serves perfectly acceptable and very cheap meals. However, the beer is very expensive and was not very good the day we visited. The pub hasn't really changed over the years so, as other reviewers say, it's a pleasantly old-fashioned sort of pub for lunch. However, there is tough competition from the two local Wetherspoons (consistently good cheap beer and food) so I think I'd go to one of them next time.

This place gets better and better. I have tried most things on the menu but now I stick to the fish, chips and peas and the amazing thing is that I much prefer it here than in any fish and chip shop, which is amazing really cos you would think that a chip shop could not be beaten.The latest news is that the landlady, dawn, makes certain puddings which are so good that they quickly sell out.Although we always try and support all food outlets, we only recommend this place in Chesterfield.

I have been going in the wellbeck weekly for many years the food is homemade and excellent value for money. I particularly like their homemade pies and hot puddings , The landlord and landlady are so welcoming and friendly nothing is too much trouble and they have an excellent team of staff that are very hardworking ensuring all customers are served quickly with quality pub food. I always finish my meal off with one of their floater coffees however my husband prefers a good pint of beer !

The Welbeck Inn is a legend. Indeed , it is a GemFantastic home-cooked Food from £2-99p and a good array of Drinks.When in Chesterfield , I always visit the Welbeck and have been doing so for many years.Long may this excellence continue.

What great welcome great food unbelievable value lovely atmosphere good selection of drinks and not to far from car park

This little pub is truly great we were in chesterfield for the day and a very friendly man on the market recommend the Welbeck inn the food was lovely and hot and most of all in was served very fast considering how busy they were most of the food was £2.99 but we had salmon fillet served with jacket potato,peas & salad for £3.50 BRILLIANT! Very freindly a proper pub a refreshing change from the wheaterspoon experience WELL DONE

This Chesterfield town centre pub serves very good value meals that are definitely Home Made and since we discovered this little gem 3 years ago, we have lunch here most weeks.It really is this bargain price and the quality of the food and coffee is very very good.I can't recommend this place enough and so we say that if you are visiting Chesterfield to shop or to see the famous Crooked Spire on the church, try it and see for yourself.All the staff are courteous and hard working to ensure that you are served quickly.We always talk to the other friendly customers and have discovered that some have been eating here for years!I usually have the lasagne and a special pudding followed by a floater coffee.. but its all good..
