The Yeaveley Arms in Derbyshire Dales

Visited for live music event late afternoon , so didn't try menu . Lovely friendly pub,great atmosphere . Reasonable prices and helpful staff. Toilet facilities immaculate.

Not the fastest but it was worth the wait. Quality and quantity was great and the service plus price was good. Overall I would recommend this place for food and drink

Lovely pub and friendly staff 👌🏼 The burger wasn't great especially for the price 😕 The Pie was lovely though

Beautifully set up and excellent service from all the staff. Meal was absolutely delicious. We had a gathering for 20 people for my parents 55th Wedding Anniversary. We had a set meal with a choice of Chicken, Salmon or Beetroot & Butternut Squash Wellington. All served with roast potatoes, green beans, carrots, cauliflower cheese and dauphinoise potatoes. To follow Profiteroles or Meringue with fresh fruit & cream. All in all we all had a fantastic day. Thank you Rob & team

Nice pub and food.Friendly atmosphere too.

Met with friends for a meal - what a lovely place! The food was lovely - freshly cooked, fantastic atmosphere and even better staff!! Thank you - we will be back.

Had a fabulous galentines afternoon tea with 17 friends. Beautiful food and excellent service. Excellent venue and extremely friendly pub. We cannot wait for a return event.

Had a ‘galentines’ afternoon tea here. Food was lovely and included some homemade desserts. Staff friendly and attentive. Lovely country pub. Will return to sample main menu!

Thanks to hosts Rob and Clive for inviting Derbyshire Blood Bikes to their venue.

Very good service and the food was so tasty. Piper was brilliant

Had the best Sunday roast at a pub I have had in memory. Taken there by relatives that live locally and we all enjoyed the fare. The desert menu was short but delicious. Wish this was my local

Had a fantastic evening at this lovely welcoming and friendly village pub with friends. The food was outstanding and there was the additional bonus of entertainment with live music which was brilliant! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we all had a very enjoyable evening. Would highly recommend this gem of a place and will definitely be returning.

Sunday Lunch - All I can say is WOW! Thank you all so much for an absolutely delicious lunch. Roast potatoes were amazing! Brother in law said it was the best Sunday lunch he’d had in years 😁 Bar staff were lovely and the atmosphere is exactly as you would want in a village pub, warm and friendly. Oh and a cozy fire too.

Food very nice, good old fashioned pub grub. I had chicken and mushroom pie with mash. The pie was a proper pie with really nice pastry and plenty of chicken inside.

We visited near Christmas and the restaurant was full but service was very slow. Friendly though and it was pleasant not to feel rushed unlike some venues.

Excellent food, staff very welcoming and friendly, will be back

What a wonderful place this is, we googled dog friendly pubs near me and we decided to visit this lovely place, we weren't sure if we had to book for food especially as it was a Saturday evening, turned up asked the lovely smiley young lady behind the bar for drinks and then asked if there would be any chance of having an evening meal, we went to sit outside as was lovely weather, she said she would ask the person in charge so came back said yes they had two tables for us with our lovely dog, 😍, the place had a lovely feel, everyone seemed friendly, the staff were lovely, the food was excellent.

We had Sunday lunch for my father in law’s birthday, his family used to live in the pub many years ago. The meal was fantastic and all the staff went out of their way to make his special day memorable. He is thrilled with his pub mug thank you all so much xx

Rob and his team did an absolutely amazing job of catering for our meal. And organising the food. They provided a birthday meal for my self with 27 covers. Absolutely amazing food and the staff were a credit to rob with the flexible catering and serving. All of the party thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I would 100% recommend anyone to come here. Not just for parties but for a nice meal in a lovely country pub. Thank you rob and team

We went as a family group for Mother’s Day. Absolutely excellent. It’s a great place, good atmosphere and the food was first class. I had the roast beef for my main and it was cooked to perfection. Rare just as I like it and full of flavour. Will definitely be going again 😊

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Lovely location and staff. Great service too. Highly recommended. You'll not be disappointed.

A treasure of a find. Booked Sunday lunch for 4 people for a birthday celebration. A very warm welcome. Husband had made them aware it was a birthday and I was presented with a lovely birthday card from the landlord and team within a few minutes of arriving. Had drinks by the fire before then being shown to out table. The menu had great options. We had 3 courses. The portions were very good size. The food was absolutely delicious. We all cleared our plates. Just before dessert arrived the landlord returned with a beautiful Bakewell tart with cream and a singing happy birthday candle. We also had a bottle fizz and a bottle of wine which were very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend this place enough, very warm and friendly staff, excellent choice, excellent value for money and superb food. Will definitely be back.

Best Sunday lunch we’ve had in ages. Great food and service. I don’t usually bother with deserts but the chocolate cheesecake was amazing - worth every calorie! We will be back.

We had never been here before, but having seen the reviews for Sunday lunch, thought we'd give it a try. The pub itself is lovely, really cosy, traditional and a beautiful situation - so we had a great view by the window. We all enjoyed starters, Pate, Prawns and mushrooms (the latter being the stand-out dish!). Mains were belly pork and beef, which everyone really enjoyed. Portions are very generous, in fact, due to having starters, we couldn't finish the mains, but the mushrooms were worth it. Only criticism is that they serve the sauces, (apple if you have pork and Horseradish for beef) on the plates and as I really don't like horseradish, I had to eat around it, so if you don't like either, make sure to ask them to leave it off. Too full for pudding, but we will return, so maybe next time.

Six of us have just visited the Yeaveley Arms for Sunday Lunch and I can throughly recommend it. All meats were cooked perfectly, plenty of vegetables and the potatoes, Yorkshire puds etc were excellent. We then decided to have puddings which were equally delicious and great value for money just like the main course. You should definitely visit and book a meal you won’t be disappointed.

Just had a beautiful Sunday lunch at this lovely traditional country pub. Well worth the trek out to Yeavely. Roast beef was delicious as was the belly pork. Plenty of veg and the portion size very generous. Dauphinois potato was delicious. Sticky toffee pud was gorgeous. Compliments to the chefs . Will certainly be back for more.

My husband and I decided to try the Yeaveley Arms having read the good reviews on line. We booked for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed. The roast beef and belly pork were cooked to perfection and servings were generous. Additionally there were ample vegetables served separately.The desserts were also delicious and again portions were very generous. Summarising a very enjoyable experience with good food and friendly and professional staff. We can’t wait to return. Well done Yeaveley Arms!

I have been going to this pub on and off since august but didn’t eat here until the last week in October. I’m really fussy about food for my family after several bad experiences so always set my expectations low. However after reading some of these reviews I was somewhat cautious but it’s not far from me so I thought I would try it for myself. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t wait long, the food was hot, the quality was great, desert was very good and people were friendly. I would give 5* however the vegetarian options weren’t great - perhaps a Sunday dinner with everything but meat? Also they aren’t open as frequently as I hoped resulting in me going to another pub for lunch. Since then I have eaten there on three occasions all of which were great. Congratulations to the new owner and chef - a great job 👏

Amazing Sunday lunch . It’s our local so you could say we are biased but it was lovely . The beef and the pork belly were excellent . I can’t wait for the next one . Thank you 🙌

Just eaten an absolutely superb Sunday lunch at Yeaveley Arms with the family, main beef course was served on hot plates and tasted lovely and was probably one of the best Sunday dinners I’ve eaten for some time in the Derbyshire area, followed by a great selection of puddings. Thank you to Rob and the chefs, we will be booking again soon.

What can I say - we had an outstanding experience at the wonderful Yeaveley Arms! Fantastic food, great selection, simply delicious and very plentiful!!! Great hosting from Rob and his team - so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The setting is really lovely and the table for 21 was set up so beautifully! Made it a very special event!! Thank you so much to all at the Yeaveley - highly recommended!!!!

Had a ride out to try and find a new pub and what a great find this was. Lovely location and such a pretty and well maintained pub inside and out. A friendly welcome, great selection of drinks, lovely food (and what a nice change to actually have decent veggie options) and great staff. We could not fault it. What a fantastic pub, thanks very much for a lovely evening!

I cannot praise this place enough. Not only was the atmosphere fantastic - it has an incredibly comfortable familiarity to it - but the staff are caring, considerate and very welcoming. We'd had a tough day at the park, my two kids (9 and 5)...

Yeavely Arms is a hidden gem !! Nestled in the quaint village of Yeavely nr to Ashbourne it is definitely worth switching the Sat Nav on for !!

Perfect food, friendly staff, one of the best pubs I've been to in a while. Highly recommended!!

Much more affordable now than 3 years ago and been a much appreciated takeaway during the months of lockdown. Thank you.

We had our wedding reception here and we couldn't fault anything - the food, the staff, the finishing touches - all perfectly executed. It's such a lovely little beauty spot! Highly recommended.

Lovely pub, food a little disappointing

Beautiful pub, but a disappointing dining experience with the quality of the food being average at best. Chili con carne with only three red kidney beans. Ploughmans without the adverised pork pie.

Poor quality food. Ploughman's had packet ham, bland cheese, silverskin onions and a focaccia type bread no butter. Runny coleslaw, dripping off the board. Despite being advertised with pork pie it came with a scotch egg and a boiled egg instead, without and explanation or...

We visited here for a meal whilst on holiday in Derbyshire. We were the only people sitting inside (it was a lovely sunny evening) as a member of our party doesn’t like flying insects. The staff asked if we wanted to sit outside (so we...

Very nice food, staff and location.

Lovely place, very polite staff. A little pricey on food but acceptable

Amazing food, best gluten free pizza I have had since going to Italy and Rob is so obliging, he will put whatever topping you like on (as long as he has it in!). My Husband loves fish night too! Great to have as a take...

Cosy smart pub with a lovely real fire 🔥

Lovely service and amazing food

Had a fabulous meal tonight. Very welcoming pub with great service and lovely food. Great social distance rules in place 👍. Will definitely be back and would recommend.

Lovely place great value for money food good choice of beers will be back soon

We had a very enjoyable meal. Large portion for main course which meant we couldn’t take advantage of the puds. Good friendly service and COVID-19 compliant. Excellent value for money. We will be returning

Very nice and helpful staff Excellent food and a nice social pub

A big thank you to Rob and his very friendly and helpful staff for making my Birthday celebration a perfect day. Excellent food not to mention Ryan Joseph’s superb singing and entertaining all of us. A fantastic celebration - bring on the next!

We celebrated a friends 75th Birthday at Yeaveley Arms and luckily it coincided with a performance by singer Ryan Joseph in the Beer Garden in the afternoon, which turned out to be brilliant. The food was excellent and served promptly and all in accordance with...

All the protocols are in place and an appreciative, socially distanced audience welcomed the return of live music in the garden of this beautiful pub. The venue’s staff are very welcoming and the garden service was quick and efficient. The lunch menu was varied and...

This week we went for the stuffed chicken with dauphinois potatoes and garden peas - absolutely lovely. For desert we had chocolate torte (gluten free) and bread and butter pudding. Both were excellent. All was well cooked and, given that it had to be in...

Had a fantastic takeaway from here on Pizza night, really tasty and great quality pizzas, would highly recommend and will be ordering again! It's the little treats like being able to have takeaway from the local pub that's getting us through isolation. Many thanks!

Third week of takeaway fish and chips from here and my family and I are more than impressed. Excellent portions (some of us having fish with batter and some not), lovely chips and mushy peas. Such a good process Rob has put in place, with...

I am so grateful to The Yeaveley Arms for organising a stunning buffet for our sons Christening. From our initial enquiry to unfortunate and unforeseen drop in numbers due to current events, they could not have been more accommodating. We asked for a finger buffet...

Enjoyed a meal with wine last night at the Yeaveley Arms and ejoyed it immensly. Not been for many years so good to see it has been refurbished and now has a decent menu

The special dinner this evening was excellent - we’ll prepared and presented with good, prompt service. Good value - if you weren’t there, you missed a treat. We both really enjoyed the evening - thanks to Rob and the team.

Nice little local pub in a beautiful village. We had a Sunday lunch with some drinks. Food was amazing great quality, service was fast. The land lord Rob is a polite man. Will definitely go back again.

Burns night 25 Jan 2020. A lovely fresh and cosy pub. Excellent service and well organised with the attention to detail. Such a lovely place to visit and relax. We had the pleasure of a piper organised by the owner- Rob. Such a good touch....

Need to greatly improve on food. Ordinary pub grub on big platters is not right.

One of the most inviting and welcoming Pubs I have visited for a long time. Incredibly clean and although we didn’t get chance to try the food the Menu looked excellent. Definitely worth a try ! Thanks Rob, top man

Disastrous meal, kept waiting until 3pm for main course, when it came the turkey was dry, a rumour going around said the Chef had recently left, at 3.10 we left and were expected to cough up £500 for 6. We didn't let it spoil the...

Great place clean and friendly not eaten there yet but the car meets in the summer are great

This pub is a stunning pub in a beautiful location and could be amazing however....the food is just awful, such a shame as it really let's the pub down! I chose this for a family birthday meal after looking at the menu online...I was fooled, the menu is a 'sample menu' and has absolutely no similarities to the menu actually received. It is advertised as 'locally sourced food'...the 'seasonal vegetables' I think must have been sourced from an aisle in the local Iceland supermarket. The crinkle cut frozen carrots were rubbery and the frozen brussel sprouts were hard and tasteless, I can only assume these had been cooked in the microwave. The chips had been fried to the point where they were greasy crispy shells. Each dinner looked bland and tasted equally as bland. The bill also took us by surprise and certainly didn't reflect the food. We would have had a more satisfactory meal in Weatherspoons for more than half the price. The car park is always empty and now I understand why. We have mentioned this in passing comments with friends and their opinions of this pub were exactly the same. I just wish I had of spoken to them first as we could have gone elsewhere.

Came here for my dads 60th, I rang beforehand to say it was such and we were coming on the actual day of his birthday. Turned up with a massive 60 balloon- one member of staff wished him a happy birthday. one!!! Appalled! Not child friendly either do not bother bringing anyone under age of 16 here as you will not be welcome and there is no child menu! Won’t be returning and will advise others of the same.

Place is nice but after that the experience isnt a good one. It's a pub but the prices are extortionate. £20 for a 6oz rib eye steak. I had the £13 lamb and potato pie a few chips and peas and I dont tell a lie when I say there were 3 small pieces of lamb only. This was worth no more than £8/9. My wife paid £17 for a chicken supreme. Spinach was supposedly in the dish but there wasnt any. There were 20 in our group and most were disappointed. The desserts were minuscule. I had a cheesecake and was offered no cream. My wife had a crumble that was undercooked and mushy whilst the custard was not much more than sweet milk. Which brings me to the service. A young girl served mostly alone and was really pleasant and friendly but the landlord who also served drinks was surly, rude and dismissive of any critique. At no point were we offered any extra sauces/accompaniments or any thanks when we paid a very substantial bill. The person responsible for this pub I feel is profiteering from what is a nice but remote location and is ripping customers off by overcharging and giving small portions. I would strongly advise anyone willing to spend this kind of money to look for an alternative. The overall impression from the landlord was he couldn't be bothered and that his customers were a nuisance.

Quaint and nice decor. Just let down by average food priced at high end prices. Brie & beetroot salad starter had no brie or beetroot and the lamb pie was lacking in lamb. Not isolated to me either, same feedback from our group which was substantial in number.

Stylish and homely country pub set in the middle of the village of Yeaveley. First class food. Beautiful Sunday Lunch. Amazing Steak Pie. Live music. Friendly Staff. Highly recommended. Events on throughout the year eg Classic car nights etc

Excellent food and good selection of drinks. Dog friendly.

Probably a good place for a meal, but entering for a drink only, was discouraged because we could only see seating for diners. After following roadside signage for a "country inn", found it more a gastropub. Lovely village.

Friendly gathering of classic car enthusiasts on the last Thursday of the summer months

A warm welcome from the start and great service throughout. It was our first visit to the Pear Tree restaurant in the Yeaveley Arms and we will certainly visit again. There were plenty of menu choices with some interesting vegetarian options.The food was served hot and quickly and was presented beautifully with locally sourced ingredients which do them credit. It was certainly good value for money and there is a really great feel to the restaurant which sits well as a part of the overall friendly and comfortable village pub atmosphere. Locals are very lucky to have this lovely restaurant on their doorstep.

Not bad, decent food good selection of beers

Visited on a few occasions now for both food and drinks. Service is always great, food is amazing and both drinks and food are good price. Will definitely be returning
