"The staff as normal were fabulous, however our main courses were very disappointing, I had the grouse and it was severely undercooked, the waitress had said that it comes pink which I have no problem with, in fact I don’t mind my meat pink, however the breast was seared on one side then from there all the way through it was just raw, they hadn’t even seared both sides, it looked like a piece of raw liver is the only way to describe it. My hubby gave me a piece of his lamb and I gave him my grouse breast, but it was even too raw for him and he wouldn’t eat it. His lamb was no better again the waitress informed us that it comes pink, again no problem but again it was undercooked, the steak knife struggled to cut it and it was a poor cut of meat. The waitress offered to have it recooked but by that time I’d eaten most of the meal (except the meat) and I wasn’t prepared to wait for 3 small pieces of meat to be brought back to us. The mushroom part was also awful, there were no mushroom caps, just the woody underneath of it and it tasted nasty is I also left that so all I had was the potatoes and broccoli. We had been only visited weeks before and I’d had the grouse and it was amazing, I honestly can’t think what went wrong. We also had to wait over 20 minutes for our desserts (both of which were cold) for saying it was 3 courses we were there over 2 hours. I know we won’t be visiting again for a while."

"While visiting family I went for lunch with my Mum and Sister. We normally go to The Star Inn in Rainford but we arrived to find that they don’t do food on a Tuesday so the barman recommended trying The Derby (a pub none of us had been in). On walking into the Derby the first thing you notice is the delicious smell of food and the faces of smiling, friendly staff. The two main rooms were busy but still plenty of tables to choose from in the bar area. We were given our menus and the drinks order was taken almost immediately after sitting down. The menus (main menu, lunch menu, specials menu) offer a wide variety of meals to suit all budgets and tastes. I had the Spanish Tortilla topped with Brie and Red Onion Chutney served with salad and a side of chips to share. It was absolutely delicious and I particularly liked the Brie on top which I’ve never tried on a Tortilla. The chips were perfectly crispy. My mum had the Strips of Chicken Breast in a peppercorn sauce with chips, rice and veg. She throughly enjoyed her meal although the large portions (especially of chicken) proved to be too much for her so they kindly put the remainder in a foil container to take home. My sister had a very light lunch of Tomato and Bell Pepper soup (and shared my fries) which she said was the best she’d ever had and she loved the chips too. We were all extremely pleased with everything about the Derby including the beautifully kept and very clean ladies toilets. Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning."
