Food was lovely, Steak and Ale pie was full of meat, nice mash and veg. My wife's meal (chicken and chorizo linguini) was apparently also lovely. Drinks were nice (hot chocolate almost needed scraping out of the mug it was so thick and chocolatey) , quick and friendly service.

Very good service, good value and atmosphere. We enjoyed burger, sausage and mash, rabbit casserole followed by raspberry crumble and chocolate brownie and ice cream. Sticky toffee pudding was a little dry. A good range of real ale.

Quite possibly the best Sunday lunch I've had in a restaurant and the homemade desserts look delicious if you have any room left that is!

Great food - loved the chorizo and king prawn starter - delicious. Balsamic inspired dressing was delightful. Good wine choices. Great service. To make it even better they could have done something special as they knew it was my partneRs bday

Fab service, lovely olde-English building opposite the Robin Hood statue, wide range of well-kept hand-pull beers, good choice of wines with some unusual options (we tried a slightly too-young 2014 Derbyshire Rondo!!), very clean toilets, and most importantly, fresh tasty food, beautifully presented. All 6 of us agreed it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time.

Brilliant food and friendly service makes Fothergills a first choice for city centre sunday lunches - nice relaxed atmosphere and good range of food and drink are definitely the main factors when considering where to go. :)

Exceptional food and great service, unsure about the table located between levels on a break in the stairs, but other than that everything was lovely. Would prefer cheaper dessert and wine but not obscene.

I wouldn't go sunday evening. The venue is nice and welcoming, the staff polite and helpful. But the menu is different on sunday - and unless you basically want a roast not that great. The only other thing I might have had was fish & chips - but the fryer was out of action. They'd run out of beef. So overall is was picking from quite a short list. What I had was nice, but overall the experience wasn't as I had expected

There was hardly any food left -even though we hadn't been able to book a later table. The roast dinners had no beef, lamb or chicken left leaving only belly pork. The mains we had a choice of Caesar salad or fish and chips as no burgers. Vegetarian options were available. The waiting staff were lovely but the reduced food options really spoilt the experience.

The food is always excellent. Every generation of our family chooses to eat there. Our only criticism is that the people serving do not always show the same level of commitment or professionalism as the chef's. Otherwise faultless.

The restaurant is lovely and has a great atmosphere. The food was ok, nothing special, but this may have been what we ordered as the lamb and pork belly looked very good from what I saw on other tables. We live and learn

Sally S.7 years ago · 2 reviews

Food was well cooked and presented, although not sure why the chef thought slow roasted belly pork with a very generous amount of crackling required extra crackling on the side. It was far too much fat! And my daughter struggled to find the wild mushrooms in her almond and wild mushroom pasta dish! We were given a very nice table, there was good ambience and service, very reasonably priced food and wine. Let down by very limited and uninspiring menu, I really struggled to find something I wanted and won't go again until they change the menu.

We met some friends there for Sunday Lunch and the food and the service was excellent. The dinner came with plenty of meat, homemade stuffing, a massive Yorkshire pudding and a medley of vegetables. The only tip I have is to wear warm clothes as the restaurant was cold due to the old style draughty windows.
