Came here for a family meal out. Our first visit and we was not disappointed. The pub is decorated to a very good standard with a warm and welcomimg feel, the staff were really polite and courteous too and the food menu was very extensive and exciting. Of course we had to try the platters and had our 1st taste of chicken burger with candy floss cola dip n sherbet dib dab lol which was tastebud tantalizing to say the least... Popcorn with cola sauce too. Portions were more than generous and worth every penny. Was delighted to find an outside play area at the back of the pub for the little ones. Had a wondeful time here and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend this venue you will not be disappointed. Thankyou to all the staff for a memorable day out. Much appreciated.

Locall pub, close to the centre of town, and a great social house the local football ground! ⚽️ Hospitality: 5/5 Service was excellent. They made sure I was looked after despite increasing volumes of people pre-preparing for the up coming spirites match. Food: 4/5 Food quality a options were better than I expected. For all things considered: waiting time on meals was well on track from ordering to serving. The cheeseburger and garlic bread was good a cooked very well. 🍔 For desert I wasn't expecting much cause I also love a biscoff cheesecake. Building: 5/5 Seen the layout for years and the design has always fit well with each changing year despite hardly anything ever changing.

This place is right by the Chesterfield FC ground, so they probably see alot of sad faces 🤪 It's part of the Green King chain but the menu seems wider, better and more variety? The staff on our recent visit were very friendly and helpful. It was Friday early bar, lots of families, the sun was out, people in the small outdoor area, the place was bustling! We were told to expect a 30 min wait, our food arrived 15 mins early, hot, tasty and looking good, just like the wife 😇 We will be back

Well unfortunately trying to use a Blue Light Card here will result to the most unsubstantiated explanation that you have used your 20% discount. First of all complained that the bill didn't include the discount which was confirmed by one staff member who checked in the system and who afterwards called the so called manager to resolve the issue. Here the absurd justification starts. Now according to her apparently the computer program on the till knows best and it saved us money by not applying the discount but instead did it's own calculation which was the cheapest option for us. I mean just by using simple math you can calculate what your bill is and how much 20% discount on the bill would be. For the sake of my wife i didn't bother to take make a bigger fuss while other patrons were still there and to argue with the said "pro manager". Simply just by doing a calculation on a piece of paper she could see that she is sooo wrong and honestly i am wondering how and if she did her GCSE Maths. Will never ever step foot in this place till they sort their staff out nor will i recommend the place to...

I recently visited Donkey Derby with exceptional hospitality and service provided by a server named Amy. From the moment I arrived, Amy greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcome. Her friendly and outgoing personality set the tone for a fun and enjoyable experience at the Donkey Derby.

Throughout my visit at the Donkey Derby, Amy was attentive to my needs, ensuring that my orders were taken promptly and my food and drinks were served in a timely manner. She was knowledgeable about the menu and provided helpful recommendations based on my preferences.

In addition to her excellent service, Amy's charming personality made the experience even more enjoyable. She was engaging and easy to talk to, and made an effort to make sure everyone was having a good time. Her positive attitude and energy added to the overall atmosphere of the Donkey Derby.

Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Donkey Derby and it was largely thanks to Amy's exceptional service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining or socializing experience, and I will definitely be...

There's not enough bar staff, so you generally have to wait a long while to be served.

It doesn't seem to take much for the wait times for food to shoot up, sometimes waiting up to an hour for food.

They often have issues with the food supply or something not working in the kitchen, causing parts of the menu not available.

If you order your steak to be cooked to your preference, rare, medium rare, etc. You'll get something different, especially as the hot plate continues to overcook your steak once served to you.

They asked me to contact them about this review, and I explained my points in more detail, but they ignored to reply to me. That says a lot I think! I'm a local whos been in the town many years, but l have stopped going to the Donkey Derby.

I have been to other similar local pubs including some of the same chain, and I never get the same problems, like long waits to be served, excessive wait times for food, food missing from the...
