Cafe in Chesterfield

“Me and the missus just stopped for lunch. Sausage cobs with onions and mushrooms respectively. Both were absolutely brilliant. Immaculate inside the cafe. Staff are happy, friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure.”

“Great breakfast excellent value for money! Service is fabulous and they are so friendly and welcoming. My favourite place for a breakfast!!!”

“Some good hand pulled beers friendly people good landlord always made welcome cannot ask for much more”

“The Calver Arms manages to cater well for locals and visitors/walkers alike, a mix we saw when we called for lunch. New decor very pleasant. The food, pub classics done well, was very good. Steak and Ale Pies had a firm crust, good filling and served with chips and gravy. The Shepherds Pie, made from pieces of lamb shoulder, was also very good. Both served with slice cabbage, peas and carrots which was a good accompaniment. A nice pint of Chatsworth Gold. A good option if you are walking in the area or just passing by.”

“We had an early dinner and a couple recommended the pies. After a starter of prawn cocktail I had the game pie and my wife had the beef and ale pie. Omg they were amazing. We each had a whole pie just swapping a half of the other persons. Cooked to perfection with vegetables, mash and delicious gravy. I would highly recommend a visit not just for the food but the staff are also very welcoming and friendly and make the experience even better.”

“Delicious food served by attentive on the ball staff. Highly recommended for quality of the food and atmosphere.”

“Excellent service. The team are amazing. We were made very welcome by Lynne and her team. We will definitely be rebooking for our Christmas family meal next year. Customer service is the key and I was extremely impressed with each and every member of the team. It felt like one big happy family and such a great atmosphere.”

“Friendly staff and chilled vibe. Deffo recommend for a quick stop off on your journey”

“Visited morning Tuesday 10th October. Lovely, clean dining area. Nice outdoor area too. Fantastic selection of cakes! Quick service. The staff on that morning were super friendly. Very competitive prices. Easy parking. I believe they do a loyalty card too. Will definitely be revisiting.”

“Popped in for a milkshake but decided to get food. It was delicious! I had the ‘veggie burger’ which came with spinach fritters, I really enjoyed it. Something different and so very tasty. The staff were very friendly, helpful and patient as we had a big order. Will definitely be returning.”

“Wow, the pie is to die for, and the golden ale washes it down nicely. Staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is like a great big hug! Really struggled to finish my pie.”

“We go in at lunchtime on a Friday! Steak pie is a favourite however we've sample alot of the menu and it's all excellent. Staff are welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Can get busy when sports events are on so would recommend booking a table”

“Had a family Christmas dinner and the food was fantastic in both quantity and quality. 3 course meal and as hard as I tried I just couldn't finish it. The staff were very friendly and we were able to have a laugh and a joke with them. I would definitly recommend”

“Went here for the Sunday carvery. We really enjoyed the food, it was lovely. There were plenty of staff and we were well looked after. Highly recommended. Thanks very much. It was our first time there and we'll definitely be going back.”

“Been coming to Ark every week since its refurb and love it. My dad plays darts every week! Tried the new food menu and it was amazing. Value for money is huge! Had the veggie hendos halloumi, extra chips and also a house burger. It was brillant. Good beer, Good food and good atmosphere!”

“A really friendly, cosy pub with a good atmosphere and an ideal place to watch sport, with live music every weekend. Quiz night every Thursday with a delicious pie and pea supper and friendly bar staff to serve a large selection of beers. A proper boozer that’s well worth a visit, regardless if you’re young or old and dog friendly.”

“We had rather a long wait as it was half price steak but the staff and the service was very attentive and compensated us for the 40 minutes delay. Steaks were excellent dessert home made and delicious. Would recommend and certainly come again.”

“What a fantastic accommodating pub. I work at Ability health and social care we do regular visits and the staff are so approachable. They are very patient and as a community pub they have no prejudices. If anything the staff at the Britannia go the extra mile for us and make our weekly visits an enjoyable activity. Yvonne”

“Lovely food and great service Both bar staff adnn waitress very polite and helpful”

“This pub was recommended by my parents as a good place for a meal and a real ale, on the day of the booking I admit to looking at the reviews and getting a bit worried, however I have got to say it did not disappoint, 5 (I think) Titanic beers plus 3 guest, the decor was traditional pub, with lovely Christmas lights, managed to find space in the car park too. The food was excellent, we had 5 different meals all really nice, steak, gammon, fish pie, fish and chips and a burger, real chips as well! Followes by 5 desserts, the crumble was a very good portion, and the stick toffee Christmas pudding was delicious. The lady who took our orders and delivered food was fantastic and provided great service all night. I would like to return in daylight so I can appreciate the countryside next time!”

“Well when you have 3 real ale pubs within 50 metres it has to be good!? The Dronfield Arms is another " Brew Pub" home to Tempest Brewery. Casta had one of their Pale Ales.. Rear beer decking next to car park to enjoy a sunny south facing summer afternoon. Somebody knew Casta was a relative of Flat Eric, 1990's Superstar. (Now penniless and living with us!) Pub very close to railway station.”

“This is what a pub is supposed to be like. Great service from the moment we stepped in. Moretti on tap. Magic. Good atmosphere, busy, country pub. The food is exceptional and proper home style cooking. You don't get that these days with all that boil in the bag ding dinners they serve at chains. Battered cod and chips was excellent. Liver and onions, pies, braising steak. Range of desserts. Very reasonably priced. I mean, it's where you go for a great meal. Thank you Alan and Tracey.”

“We stayed at the Apollo Inn whilst attending a wedding at a nearby venue. The staff were all very attentive & friendly, the service was above and beyond. The rooms were modern, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was phenomenal!”

“Great atmosphere. hot, fresh food and plenty of it. In a separate room to the main bar, great outside seating area and a car parking. Brilliant”

“Great place to watch live sport on either Sky Sports or BT Sports. Friendly staff, decent beer, you can bring in food from outside and it has a good crowd. Highly recommend.”

“Attend for quiz night on a Thursday. Martin, the quiz leader, is excellent. Very fun night.”

“Called in for a drink with my other half, lovely traditional styled pub and the bar staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning again when in the area”

“Nice chilled place good atmosphere the owner should be proud of his bar staff”
