The Rutland Arms — Restaurant in Chesterfield

I am sorry for writing this review as this pub has been around for years and normally our go too place for a quiet drink & catch up with friends. BUT this afternoon I would have given them 0 stars😡 (normally it would be *) This afternoon it was full of kids screaming & shouting whilst their parents were drinking on other tables (away from their children) We came out with friends while our kids were being look after responsibly (🥰)). Although the staff were brilliant and the beer/wine as of good quality as normal, we might as well have all stopped at home and looked after our children (instead of paying for a bay sitter and saved some monies😭) I know we were in the pub for 16:00 on a Saturday but I don’t think a tradition Camera pub is the environment that young children should be in! After todays experience I think if you want to go out and enjoy a quite drink and a chat with friends you should go somewhere else (Although saying that Chesterfield is becoming as the Specials sang “A Ghost Town”) Again I am sorry for writing this review as the staff as always work so hard to normally make this a fantastic place for people who enjoy a good quality pint and usually has an excellent...

On Sunday the 14th may, around 2pm I visited The Rutland pub in chesterfield on cavendish street, for the 6th weekend in a row and I really enjoyed the Sunday dinner and recommended it to a lot of people. I arrived upon the pub with my sister and her children aged 1&2. We order a Sunday dinner, I had a regular and she had a large to share with her children. Everything was fine until the moment we left when a big fat ginger man named Anthony (who is to be believed the person who runs it) approached us very rudely and said we wasn't allowed in the establishment anymore because the children made to mess when they was eating, can I please repeat they are aged 1&2. He also went on to tell us that he has 2 children and they do not "behave like that", why he feels the need to judge my sisters children is beyond me because I don't believe that was in his job description. This was our 6th time at the Rutland as we enjoyed every Sunday. I have never met anybody as rude as him! He had no right to mention my sisters children's behaviour and I don't think he got the concept they were not kids!...

The Rutland is my regular bar in Chesterfield now for multiple reasons. But it all narrows down to the staff. Each and every one of them is welcoming with a smile, non judgmental and brilliant hosts!!

They are well reliable when it comes to personal safety, as I woman I feel if ever anything is making me uncomfortable or sad... I have absolutely no problem confronting the staff for safety.

Their monthly metal nights have also really restored what Chesterfield has been missing for a lot of folk, since the Green Rooms and Sevens sadly closed down. The Rutland has become a 'Go To' bar in the town center... All round great vibes, great beer, great accomodation and many...
