"Despite having heard really good things about the ‘Duncombe Arms’ we left feeling deflated and disappointed! Myself and wife decide to visited the ‘Duncombe Arms’ with our children to celebrate my birthday. Upon arrival we’re allocated seating directly opposite the main entrance. The cold wind blowing through the entrance due to the sheer number of guests coming in was uncomfortable, we asked to be moved however all other seats were taken. As a result my son and wife choose to keep their coats on. We then proceeded to place our drinks order with ‘front of house’ however these took over 40 minutes to arrive and actually came out after our food had been delivered. When mentioned to the waitress she seemed disinterested and blamed it on a computer glitch. The food itself was tasty however portion sizes extremely small. I chose the beef and my daughter had the children’s chicken nuggets and we were both feeling hungry at the end. During the meal no one came to ask how the meal was nor offer to take a further drinks order. At the end we’re presented with the bill and asked to pay a discretionary service charge of 10%. I discussed the poor service and explained to the waiter that we would not be paying this, the waiter accepted this and we left. Overall very poor and wouldn’t recommend based on our visit."

"Booked a table for 12:15. Arrived and the place looked shut, both doors shut and front door locked. The chairs were still on the tables from the night before. Greeted (if you can call it that) by a rather unwelcoming member of staff, who looked like she’d rather be anywhere else and then proceeded to complete doing her make up in the back of the bar rather than giving us menus. The tables were filthy, the floors had not been swept from the night before and the couches covered in dog hair. It had a smell in the air of wet dog and chip fat and the bar area was dark, and uninviting. The whole time we were there they didn’t put any music on in the background which meant we could hear the cross words had between the staff (awkward to say the least). The waitress did warm up as time went on and was a little more friendly to the few diners that arrived after us. Considering we booked a table for the restaurant area that’s where we should have been seated. Food was average and not worth the price, as there was no music we could hear the microwave for the lasagne. I don’t normally write reviews however I feel the need as hopefully the establishment will reflect and improve for others, especially when the website etc make it look so appealing. People parting with their hard earned money during these times deserve better."

"We stayed here a couple of years ago when we wanted to go to Alton Towers for a couple of days. We didn’t hesitate to stay here again! The 2 bedroomed apartment was lovely, clean and well presented. It was our daughter’s birthday when we visited, it was a nice surprise for her to receive a birthday card and a bottle to help celebrate the occasion. It looks like we will be doing the same for her birthday in 2025!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming"

"We ate dinner here as a couple on a Saturday night in October. The car park was fairly full but there is a lot of space in the restaurant bar area, so we had no problem finding a table, but do book ahead. Warm and welcoming log fire with a specials board above it to supplement the regular menu. We ate a burger from the normal menu and a lamb casserole from the specials board, both were excellent. After our meals were delivered (within 20 minutes of ordering) two members of staff came to check on us. So no complaints on service but as we are both watching our weight I cannot comment on the desserts! Two draft local beers were on tap one from Marstons and one from Falstaff in Derby."

"Awesome village pub extremely cosy, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The menu is centred around fresh, local produce with lots of wholesome dishes all delicious. Well presented, well priced and tasty. Lots of feel good favourites on the menu done brilliantly thanks the chef Darren. The beer is great as is the Prosecco. Chris (and partner) are both wonderful hosts and always greet you a smile and warm welcome. Love this place more on every visit. Keep up the great work team Tavern ????????????
