The Wilmot Arms in Derby

Really like this pub good cosy atmosphere friendly bar staff and a good pint. Years ago this pub was a dive I wouldn't go in, Steaming Billy have turned this place around well done !

Friendly local, good beer, good company.

Brilliant local pub!! With great staff ; worth a visit anytime also dog friendly, it has a great selection of beer,lager,cider 😁

Very pleasant and friendly pub. Great beers to. The garden has also been renovated

Had great granfaughter christening there nice atmosphere and was nice weather so vould go out doors that was nice

One of the best pubs in the area, it has a Great atmosphere and the beer is well kept, good variety and lovely staff. Only complaint I have is, it has a small car park and when I visited someone had brought a builders lorry on making it difficult to get past.🙂

Went here as supposed to be "a dog friendly pub" my dog was well behaved for saying first time in a pub and a lot going off around but got told to leave due to her barking a couple of times and people moaning wont be going again

I've not eaten here so I can't comment on the food but if it's anything like the staff and beer I'm sure it's very good. Just want to add that the Guinness here is outstanding best pint I've had any where

Would pop in from time to time over the years. It's always been a nice pub from a "boozer" back in the day to becoming a "steaming Billy" & and now, back to its original name, The Wilmot. It has been decorated inside and out recently, very cosy, warming colour scheme which I can only describe personally like I would be sitting in a study room belonging to Sherlock holmes on a cold night & I'm sure in warmer weather, the colour scheme will still work. The garden..well... another hidden gem.! Just check it out. It's hopefully gonna be a place to be seen in during hot sunny days to drink & be merry.

Fresh clean old pub friendly atmosphere very welcoming

Very rude and told to "b...off" as tables needed for quiz night. Staff said they "didn't care" if people vapid inside. Won't be going back.

Quite a small place so at weekend is very busy and no seats left. Good idea they habe a screen showing what is going on. Very much for locals.

Great friendly atmosphere for Xmas Eve.

our first visit to this pub, and what a pleasant suprise, it was so clean , drinks were excellent,the inside and outside siitting areas are perfect, background music was listenable, unlike some pubs where its so loud, that people are shouting to be heard, weve tried every pub in the area and this gets a full 5 star from us, definitely, this will be our local from now on

I popped in for a quick whisky and a catch up so cant rate the food as of yet but the customer service was top notch

Busy, but quick service. All good.

Lovely pork pies and a quality pint

Best local pub in the area. Dog friendly too! The staff are all amazing, always great to come by for a drink. Keep up the great work!

My first time in there tonight what a great place judt brilliant

Been to this pub a couple of times and each time found the bar staff very miserable not a smile between them. Not a place I would recomend. Last time we went in was 11 May 2023. Had to walk out because we were ignored at the bar. Wont be going back there

This is our local, Love the place, the owner is so welcoming and the staff are great

Very friendly bar staff and great snacks. Chorizo and chicken pie was lovely!

Lovely & welcoming local pub.. Nice atmosphere too..👍

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good drinks and dogs welcome inside and out

Great staff and great atmosphere

Always a friendly welcome and enjoyable couple of pints cheers 🍻

Pleasant drink and chat with locals

Amazing nite our first time but will definitely be returning fab atmosphere

First time in, what really nice clean friendly, place.might even bring the wife next time !!

Lovely outdoor area. Nice to sit and have a drink.

We love this place, great beers and always a friendly welcome.

This has basically become my "new local" whilst I've been working nearby over the last 18months. Excellent selection of draught which includes Jubel Peach and excellent staff. The pies are amazing too...

Clean, excellent selection of all drinks and a friendly welcome :)

Nipped in here for a pint. Really love the decor inside. Super cosy! They do a cracking bottled stout that tastes amazing! Would recommend nipping in. Will definitely be going back!

Great dog friendly pub in Derby! Beer garden is a good sun trap in the day and their beers are really well kept 😍

Awful hand driers but very nice staff and excellent range of drinks, served excellently.

Literally THE best boozer in Chaddesden. I know the choice is severely limited in this area these days but they alway have a great choice of beer on draught including gluten free Jubel peach beer for my coaelic wife and tasty craft beers from respectable craft breweries like Beavertown. Friendly staff and well ran pub. Never disappoints. 🍻

not been there for years its changed alot, nice pub pleasent atmosphere worth a try.

An excellent small, Steaming Billy pub. The beer choice is good and is always excellently kept. The pub is warm and cozy with 3 rooms. A lounge split across the entrance and a bar up a few stairs. Tidy, covered beer garden and smoking area and a decent sized car park. Occasionally they have food vans of different types in the car park, see their FB for details.

Love the place, very friendly and very close to my home x

Nice little pub 👍 well worth a visit

One of my favourite pubs ever. Shaun and the team are great, and the beer is excellent. Pet friendly.

Favourite pub in the area and super dog friendly

Brilliant when derby soul are there

Nice friendly place to have drink with excellent service

Prices are way too high for a local in costa del chad rip off!

Best pub in the area by a country mile, it's well run, friendly and has great staff. Thankfully not a pub restaurant but has some very good snacks including amazing pork pies fresh from Owen Taylor butchers. Dont expect cheap and cheerful here but expect quality worth the price.

Great to be back at the Wilmot. Great beer, atmosphere and staff.

With Derby staying in Tier3 all pubs/restaurants are closed apart from some offering takeaways. Project D are doing a pop up tent in various locations selling a fabulous choice of doughnuts, if you have not tried them you are certainly missing a treat.

Lovely evening. The serving staff were really helpful. Beer was in fine form.

Nice cosy pub with plenty of drink choices

Very clean, all round good experience. Friendly staff.

Nice clean pub staff friendly and helpful 👍🍺

Great selection of beers in a clean, safe and friendly pub.

Bar staff this afternoon no good to customers no people skill

On entering the pub it felt like a regulars pub where most people know each other but need not worry it still didn't make u feel uncomfortable or unwelcome infact people rather welcoming. Members of staff were friendly and even the locals. Drinks were reasonable prices too.

There was playing 60s to 80s disco music songs which brought back great time for us.

Great staff, lovely decor, great prices

Great place to have a pint or two

The best pub in chadd .great choose of beers and ciders nice staff .keep up the good work

Cosy, friendly, warm, just like pubs uses to be, and great ales!

Great place with friendly staff and excellent tipples! You can tell how great somewhere is by the fact you cant get a seat, but you hang about in any nook or cranny you can because its just that good! Served by a chap who's first night working there was christmas eve and he was lovely! Credit to the place!

Good local pub with a good selection of drinks.

Good choice of beer, all well kept. Nice place

This pub is always clean and tidy, they allow dogs to come in, the people are very friendly and the beer is always first class.

Lovely pub with atmosphere. Real ale pub so husband happy.

My very first time here. We had a great time at the pub quiz! (The Four Bales) A clean and friendly place. Will deffo be back 😀

Comfortable welcoming staff always there to please

A little disappointed with the choice of real ales

Staff are extremely welcoming to people and dogs! The choice of drinks is great as you can always have something different when you go in! Overall love it!

Nice place to visit with a welcoming atmosphere, several people on a wet Sunday were thinking the same, dogs are welcome and it has a typical British pub charm.

Great Bar with great drink choice. Service is always efficient and friendly.

Great beer, pleasant atmosphere, well managed and no trouble.

Oldest pub in the lovely Village of Chaddharsden

Thursday night quiz is good. Always have a selection of real ales.

Used to play pool here in league,but now just for drinking,lovely atmosphere and and great choices of ales,the landlord is a great man,dog friendly and parking at rear,credit to the staff and thumbs up from me

................where..................are.............my...............shoes......I'm never drinking again..................who's round is it????

Always welcoming and friendly and drinks well kept

Nice staff good local pub clean and tidy. .

Love this place for the occasional catch up with the best'un. Chilled out place with a country pub feel and warm fires. Cracking ales too!

Great afternoon at open Mic. Very friendly makes everyone welcome.

Very helpful staff, friendly atmosphere

Don't get any better than a quality local. Good beer and good people

Awful. That's the only way to describe this place which is a shame as I'm a huge fan of the steaming billy pub, the Coronation. I used to come here and have a great time, as well as banter with the staff, however I decided to go for a beer with some work colleagues after a shift and was met with poor service. This is not an issue as we arrived after 10 on a Saturday, and I knew they closed shortly after, however to be told near closing time, "you need to leave, we're closed" was a little insulting. I still could have looked past this as a tired and fed up staff member, who is only human. What I can not in any way excuse is after we left through the front door (which opened with a simple push) and walking down the street, to be chased down by an angry lady who worked for the pub who shouted at us for unlocking the front door, and said we should have left through the back. When we tried to explain ourselves as the door was not locked, and to apologise for any inconvenience or misunderstanding, the lady swore and stormed off. While my fellow drinking partners are regulars at the venue, I can absolutely not recommend this establishment when spoken to in that manner. If you're searching for a venue nearby I would recommend the Kings Corner. If you are a fan of Steaming Billys I would recommend the Coronation pun in Alvaston which has a fantastic manager, staff, and the food is excellent. It's a shame that this one lady in particular has ruined this venue for me.

Friendly and comfortable. All round great pub 🙂

Not sure what you can do to improve the atmosphere but it needs something. Live music etc. I understand there will restrictions due to residents. The open mic night does OK but same people every fortnight. How far do you advertise this, great opportunity to get more people in and uncover hidden talent.

Fantastic community local with great staff. Always welcoming and is even dog friendly. Drinks range is good and very good happy hour in place

The Wilmot has become a bit of a local for me and the wife, we also meet our friends here at the weekends, it’s a nice comfortable place, pleasant staff and a good range of Ales all well kept. Try a pork pie with pickle’s lovely 😊

Called in for a pint after attending the fair at Chad park, what a splendid pub, food looked good but we were only here for alcohol, service good, nice atmosphere, will have a to call again and enjoy the beer garden.

Been visiting this establishment for 45 years, seen many landlord's and landlady's the current crew are doing an excellent job and offer a super range of takeaway food that can be delivered locally to your door.

Great car wash they make a very good job

Always comfortable and spotlessly clean. A really well kept cellar of regularly changing real Ales..... staff are courteous and service is excellent. A real pub!

Lovely pub with fantastic drinks on offer. Limited on food offers but I believe that is more due to the location. Service always pleasant and dog friendly too which is a massive plus. Best proper pub in the area

Great real ales and well recommend.

A proper pub......good selection of beers, friendly staff. Nice decor and always spotlessly clean. A great local!!

Went with a group of friends on Saturday night - bit of a school reunion-about 15 of us all in our 50s ! We were the only ones in the bar area - though there were a few in the other room ! The two female staff appeared totally disinterested (especially the older one), serving people seemed to be a chore and just after 10pm they were talking about cleaning down and getting ready to close !! From then on you just had the feeling that you were intruding by being there ! When you run a place that dosnt do food , isn't an entertainment venue & and is few hundred yards from a social club that is about a pound a pint cheaper, I would suggest that the least you could do would be to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and try to keep (and keep happy ) the customers that do walk in !!!! If you can't get those couple of basics right - the hospitality trade isn't for you !!! I've been in quite a few Steaming Billy brand pubs - this is by far the worst !!! The Wilmot Arms deserves far better !!!

Simple telephone enquiry lead to being told I had annoyed her by ringing on a Sunday at 5.30 pm. Doh, you are a business and I rang in business hours with a genuine enquiry. Reading trip advisor reviews I am not the first to make this comment, and no doubt unless this awful woman gets some manners, I won't be the last. Arrogance in a business is an ugly thing! If you are too busy to deal with an enquiry, say so politely. There are numerous courses you can attend for your condition, but you want to have to change :)

Nice friendly pub. Love dogs too. Good outside area, with heaters, for us nicotine addicts. Bit pricey though, but overall, love it!

Called in last night with my partner and my dad, although the quiz was on and the pa system was abit to loud the place was busy a nice atmosphere the pub was nice and clean and a good choice of beers and ciders all in all a very nice night out

We went for a family meal (3 adults and 2 children) on 13th July ...wow! Fantastic food and excellent service from the whole team. Such good quality ingredients and cooked perfectly. We had a selection of the homemade pies and pizza's - all very yummy! We have our new favourite local 😍 Can't wait to go back. Modern decor, a lovely relaxed atmosphere for both adults and children. We first visited on the previous Saturday, just my husband and myself, and we had such good food and exceptional service from the petite blonde manager (I'm sorry I forgot her name) that we decided to go back this week for a birthday meal. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
