Thorntree in Amber Valley

Excellent value nice people Enjoyed a great meal

What a transformation this pub has gone through. We love it. It is gorgeously decorated and rivals the pubs you can go in the derbyshire dales! Can't comment on the food yet because we haven't eaten there but we will in the near future. Its our go to now when we are in Ripley. We'll done the Thorntree x

Turning into one of the best in Ripley!

Called in for quick drink on dog walk on way home Can't believe it's cash only A bit of a downer if u didn't know.

Lovely clean friendly pub definitely recommend

First time in since the refurb. Really good inside now and the food was excellent

Chicken was under cooked, certainly won't be going again

Just been for meal excellence meal and service

Lovely place to visit good beers too

Lovely pub staff and food too, Highly recommend

We didn't have anything to eat but this pub has recently had a full refit and it looks fantastic. Lovely staff and the beer was good.

Recent refurb, looking good, decent pint and atmosphere. Will try food next time we're over that way.

Visited in June as we have just moved to the area. Friendly staff and wonderfull food. I had a haloomi and sweet chili sauce cibatta, hubby had ham egg and chips. Both were nicely presented with portion size just right. everything we needed was brought to the table before the meal which arrived very quickly. Can't recommend them highly enough and will be making this our new local.

Just had a burger with fries from new menu absolutely awesome really filling, brilliant

Great refurb, nice choice of beers too without paying extortionate prices

Not scored food as I haven't eaten here, great pint, friendly staff.

Great beer and the Sunday dinner is spot on and great value for money

Home made chips and a good kept beer 🍺

Dirty smells need gas mask 😷 if go toilets horrible never again landlords don't give s....it stinks

Thay don't expect citizens cards has proof of age saying that it is company policy

Went to watch a singer lovely local atmosphere great service

I live across the road from this great pub, have just had Sunday lunch in here for the first time and I have to say, I absolutely loved it, the food is fresh, made to order and tastes amazing. Totally looking forward to next Sunday. Love you guys.

Just had a sunday roast here. Absoloutly lovely. 5 star all the way.

Great real chips good beer and great prices

Great place landlord & landlady Joe & Sam are very friendly and makes you welcome

Since Joe and his wife Sam took over the pub and started doing light snacks hand cut chip cobs which are excellent 😀 tasting as is all the food Sam produced and is getting very popular with the locals and people popping in as well keep up the good work Joe and Sam best wishes spanner cheers everyone 👍

A very xenophobic place, wouldn’t accept my friends ID as it was polish, yet still stated her DOB and was at a legal age to drink there

Lovely pub, owners friendly, great choice of drinks. Mango cider very tasty!! Will be back soon :)

Good selection of beers and friendly service. As long as the idiots stay out it should do well.

Good pub, very friendly. Worth a visit

Always enjoy going into this place

Very friendly pub with a great atmosphere, very good ales it's a must to call in

OK, needs some love in the toilet area's, staff - not the best.

Nice pub in the town centre of Ripley. Staff are always welcoming and beer is reasonably priced with a decent selection on offer.

It was the worst. Barmaid doing a crossword and us. Such a shame. 4yrs ago it was the hub of ripley

Had a good time. Few drinks. A bit of karaoke and dance.

Fantastic place and owners and all staff are very welcoming

Always welcoming good selection of drinks including some cracking real ales

One of the best pub's in Ripley. Great choice of drinks and excellent value. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Was a very good night keep up the good work mate

Superb quality of beverages and atmospheric note's. Lovely staff, service with a smile 😁😊

Service very good. Beer was disappointing

Fantastic driver arrived super quickly

Beer kept well reasonable prices

Best pub in Ripley. Had a good night out with old friends.

nice bar staff good prices friendly people only one thing and its not a critisim as such just wish they did food but will be going back there

Luv this pub. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff

Great friendly pub and great choice of beers etc and a very warm welcome and atmosphere from the landlord and landlady

Very welcoming and they even had my drink.... Extra Dry Martini....well impressed !!!

The place needs a overall, the toilets are really grim they need refurbishing. You can smell the urinal from the bar..

Supposed to wait for staff to take orders at the table but they only seem to take orders from the bar so you sit down and get ignored

Nice pub been there several times, good beer

Fab fiod. Fab atmosphere. Landlord lovely. Infact all staff are

Excellent Covid measures in place, handsome man to take details and direct you to a seat, attractive and attentive lady taking drink orders. Good atmosphere. Reasonable prices. Will be back :)

Nice place to eat .Staff brilliant

First visit to Thorn Tree and was very impressed with the pub. The landlord was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return to try the food.

A fantastic pub and very friendly owners that accommodated us after just getting married. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic pub great prices and the land lord is very friendly highly recommend 👍😎👊

Enjoyed the atmosphere will definitely go back now there is a new landlord and landlady they are very friendly and can't wait to see what they bring to the pub looking forward to them starting the food again.

Clean and bright. Tasty Pepsi. 2 poke stops very close, wife loved it.

Brill atmosphere,lovely landlady

So comfortable in may have fallen asleep..x

My friend is the landlady there, and ur us a very welcoming place, with a quiz in Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and a bsnd or karaoke on Fridays or Saturdays

Still a great range of ales, but the manager seems to think he can charge what he likes. £4.50 for a pint of green devil is just one example. Have we moved to greater London or something?

Lovely place lovely food would recommend

People atmosphere close to town

Been many times! Good priced beer n wine!

New landlady. Beer expensive compared to other venues locally.

Fortunately arrived after the live band had finished. Music usually too loud, of poor quality and pub doesn't really have good acoustics. However, the main reason for all going here is the beer. Supposed to be hand drawn real ale but it was so lively it took ages to settle down and clear and as always was not a full glass of liquid - a huge head due to it not being poured properly. Served in a rush and when she requested the money to pay for the beer , we did not get a please or a thank you.

Very long wait for food in a mostly empty pub but once arrived the food was really nice

Nice pub. Friendly staff. Pay & display car park outside of the pub.

Always has a good choice of real ale.

Excellent beer food good Jo is making a good job of running this pub

Had to wait over an hour for food, and was told by lady with dark hair "it wont be long we are busy". That woukd have been ok if there hadnt only been 4 people in when we ordered. When our meal finally came it was of reasonable quality however 4th member of party still had to wait a further 15 mins for his to arrive. The lady behind the bar with the blonde hair was lovely and couldnt apologise enough. She even offered to clean up the mess from our great niece eating when my nephew asked for a brush.

Lovely service, lovely staff.The Food is good. 😁

Really disappointed with the service we received at the Thorntree today. We put extra on our parking just to go and grab some lunch, ordered our drinks and was told at the time that there was a thirty minute wait for food. Nearly an hour later the waitress after bringing out one couples food came to us saying that they'd only just got to our order and was starting it now. The place wasn't really that busy when we first got there and food wasn't being brought out until just before the hour waiting. We opted for a refund and left really cross and won't be returning

Excellent place, good variety of beers and ciders and welcoming staff.

The food and drinks are very good and well priced. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service is a little slow but that is due to all the food being cooked from fresh. One of my hangups is dogs inside a eating establishment. I've been in the place 5 mins today and there are dogs fighting indoors and barking, irresponsible owners this is the reason for my 4 stars

I was playing in a band, the staff from top to bottom were nice though.

Would like see a board with music acts who are to visit in the future. Looked on your website and on the "coming events" board but nothing on. A disappointment.

Good local pub with a fine selection of beers. Average food at a reasonable price. Was a 5 star in my opinion but not quite as good recently. Still a good pub, but no longer the stand out choice it Ripley.

Great music on Sunday evening , they've had some great musicians 😊

Will definitely be going back mint staff and perfect food x

Friendly staff and dog friendly.

Not a bad pint sometimes go in good price

Good beer always a choice of real ales and ciders,plus the usual John Smiths/knobwash,entertainment at weekends seems to be popular,if it stayed open to match Spoons then i wouldnt leave

Nice place with a good ale selection. Bit more expensive compared to most pubs in Ripley but it's nicer so expected

Nice place, nice cheap Stella 4 😀

Not many in the pub with the fair been their

Went there on a scooter ride out so didn't spend much time inside the pub

Good food and good beer 😊 Friendly and welcoming staff too.

Going down hill, screaming kids not being controlled by their parents. Not a good pub anymore since Shaun left.

Lovely place to eat great staff too what more could you ask for ?

Had a lovely meal tonight.the staff are really helpfull and friendly

Nice friendly atmosphere inside and a large beer garden

Usual menu and service for this type of pub chain. Went as children's play area quire large inside but of poor quality unless you like feeding grab machines.

it is nice and friendly place to relax and have a drink and have a lunch

Love it in there very friendly. When I've had food brilliant.

Lovely local pub with good food and a really friendly atmosphere. The staff seemed to know all the locals' names (and how they like their chips) but we were made to feel equally welcome.

The Ladies in the kitchen are doing a fantastic Job cooking and serving nutritouse Sunday roast..Well done.
