"I have been going to The Derby Arms for years on and off since I was,18. The last time I sat in the room primarily used for diners I was with my family so it was a little emotional for me. The decor has changed but not the bricks and mortar. I don 't consider myself to be 'local ' anymore hence I could detect that the busy bar had a local edge to it. Not unfriendly, but the feeling that everyone knows everyone else. This is not necessarily a bad thing and everyone is kind and thoughtful which reflects the community itself. Over the years the food in the pub has gone from mediocre to outstanding depending on the chef in the kitchen. I know my mother would comment critically sometimes. However, I am delighted to report the that on this visit the service was brilliant and the food really superb. Front of house was really kind getting me a table as the resteraunt was heavily booked...and I can see why. Evening food is served from 5pm onwards and lunch is also available. The dining area is spotless and really comfortable with attentive staff who will bring drinks to your table. It 's a very homely atmosphere. I wasn 't visiting for a special occasion, I just popped in on my own but I was made to feel special. The food was just great, my 8oz sirloin spot on in terms of taste and how it was cooked. Really lovely. Now this is not a fair comparison, but stay with me. I had the misfortune to be reminded during to a chicken based fast food resteraunt in St. Helens how incredibly expensive it can be to 'eat out ' and having to endure terrible food served with an air of disdane in an atmosphere of artificial, disposable detachment. Given the above experience, when I got the final bill from the Derby Arms which included two delightful drinks and two outstanding courses, wonderful atmosphere, caring service and other customers who said hello...only a real fool would even consider visiting the former place to eat. I guess, I am using this comparison to say, that at a time when we are having to make cuts and difficult choices, there are still places you can really enjoy, that serve peerless food and offer great value for money. I am delighted The Derby Arms still has its sparkle, its class and its soul. Thank you for bringing back happy memories and making a new one. Best wishes, Paul."

"can recommend moksha thoroughly. we were in an Indian restaurant for the first time and did not recognize the half of the menu. among the obvious was Indian road eating. all delicious. warm, attentive service and very humble wine in a tastefully decorated restaurant. around 7.30 a.m. and beyond on Friday night it was busy, but in these COVID times there was still enough space between occupied tables. we're coming back."

"I took my wife to The Niche for her birthday dinner. The staff were very helpful and friendly and went above and beyond the call of duty to make the night very special. The food we had was of very good quality and cooked to perfection. The Niche team also gave my wife a wee treat at the end of our meal. We will be back and would recommend this restaurant to everyone. See you next time."
"Stopped in here for a pint last night on a whim and ended up staying all evening as we really liked it. Very nice pub, the staff were all fantastic, the beer was good and the regulars were friendly. Planning to go back there for a meal as the food looked lovely."

"I absolutely love this restaurant every time I visit Poole. It's a small establishment, so make sure to make a reservation in advance to avoid missing out. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is consistently excellent, always freshly prepared and packed with flavor. Booking a table ensures a leisurely dining experience without feeling rushed. I highly suggest trying the Chilli, Garlic and Basil Chicken stir fry, although every dish we've tried there has been fantastic. I'm already looking forward to my next visit."

"Went for an evening meal with friends. The way this restaurant works is all you can eat but made to order. I have been coming to Peaches for many years, and it still does not disappoint. The food is beautiful and served in small portions like Chinese Tapas!! The staff are very friendly and helpful. They offered for our starters to just bring out a selection, which handily took some of the deciding time away for us. I just about managed to shoehorn in a desert (they have a gateau/cheesecake of the day normally). I highly recommend the Eton Mess cheesecake! Already planning to return in 2 weeks time."

"I had a fantastic dining experience with delicious, fresh food! We tried the Pad Priew Wan, Gang Dang with beef, salt and pepper chicken wings with chips, roasted toast, vegetable spring rolls, and a chicken dish for the kids. Our order arrived within 45 minutes, and every dish was beautifully presented. We truly enjoyed the flavors and the freshness of each meal. This is our third time ordering from this restaurant, and it has always met our expectations. It's great to stick with a place we know and love, and I would highly recommend it!"

"Just recently had new landlord/landlady. Used to be a great little pub, unfortunately not much of a welcome when ordering at the bar, considering they are new, the place has had a white wash makeover with ice white led lights, cold atmosphere, very clinical. And a massive price increase, almost £4 more for two of our usual drinks. Unfortunately not my local any more. *update.... It was a Saturday afternoon, not many people in, yes one decent original staff member, very hard working girl. Was charged nearly £14 for a beer, gin and tonic, maybe she has charged me for a double? Definitely wasn't. The same drinks ordered in the Bulls head was £11 and only £10 in the commercial down the road. As for your new gate to contain children and dogs, good luck with that!"

"We arrived at the restaurant on a Tuesday afternoon without a reservation and were seated right away. The menu had a great selection, including specials. The food was of great value and the portions were generous, with options for one, two, or three courses. The service was friendly and welcoming."

"A cosy little hotel with a warm welcome, clean comfortable rooms, good food and drink. Our double was a little small but had a good bed, tv, Wi-Fi, bathroom and shower. The restaurant food was lovely and tasty. We had fish and chips which was a fabulous sized cod and a dirty chicken burger which was very tasty. Red wine Rioja was excellent too rounded off with some Peroni. Breakfast was good but no croissants which was surprising. We played some pool and also The car park surprisingly also had a few EV chargers too. Constructive improvement comments: 1. The breakfast options could include some pastries, I really wanted a croissant. Also offer different egg ways. -boiled, poached etc 2. Breakfast times are a bit early closing 3. Clear the untidy view of the upturned chairs and from the restaurant annexe window"

"I was disappointed the last time I dined at this restaurant. I left a message expressing my disappointment, hoping they would improve, but unfortunately, I will not be eating there again. I felt like I did not receive value for the £21.00 I spent, and I don't want to be ripped off again."

"We had an absolutely AMAZING night with Julia and her fabulous team at Walkers of Whitehall. I can't sing their praises enough. We were a rowdy group of 34 and we booked the Downstairs Bar for our Annual Choir Dinner. We felt so looked after all night, the staff simply couldn't do enough for us. Julia answered all my questions super quickly and when there was a slight mix up with the drinks packages on the group menu, she threw in two extra bottles of wine for free. The team thought of everything and even connected my iphone so we could have our own playlist. The food was EXCEPTIONAL and very good value for the price; I was particularly impressed by the beautifully cooked steak! The food was staggered by dish when brought out, but this was entirely expected for a group of our size and didn't detract from our night at all. I had brought four large number balloons and some other decorations and the staff very kindly agreed to dispose of them so I didn't have to worry. All in all it was a wonderful night for our group's Annual Dinner and in such an amazing location as well and we loved the vaulted bar. Everybody who came said to me how brilliant a venue it was. I will definitely be coming back! THANK YOU to all at Walkers for a fantastic night."

"Whilst in the capital for the fringe, my friend i decided on having some chinese food for lunch..Wish we hadnt!! Came across The Golden Dragon, looked lovely from the outside, very dated inside...Not a great selection on the menu the daily specials board, seems to have been the same daily specials for quite some time, going by some of the photos posted by previous diners... we decided on chicken satay fried rice, sweet n sour chicken boiled rice, portion of prawn crackers, we didnt have any starters, 1 diet coke 1 small glass of water... the food wasnt that great to be honest for the extortionate cost, the satay was tasteless chicken was quite rubbery.. The rice arrived in small silver dishes, was actually very stodgy, like it had been over boiled... we ate what we ate asked for the bill.... £53!!!! the rice wasnt included in the cost of the chicken dishes, seriously must be the dearest rice in scotland, there was literally 3 spoonfuls in each silver pot!! 3 young lads at next table all had rice dishes, no starters a portion of curry sauce chips, also a beer each, they're bill was over £90!!! Certainly wont be rushing back to Golden Dragon next time i'm in Edinburgh!!"

"We stayed overnight in the large, well maintained field in our campervan last night, a lovely rural pub with an outside pizza oven and deflated bouncy castle in the big garden, a mixture of locals and visitors like us on the bar, it was clean cosy and had lots of fun signs and accessories including a big jar of dog treats, which our two pups enjoyed, The food was greats starters and puddings around 5.50 mains from classic pub grub to the sea bream on mash i enjoyed, from 10 to 17 quid, well managed cellar with Wainrights and a mild on draft last night, we will be back.... frequently Vegetarian options: A great selection Kid-friendliness: Great play area"

"Wow!!! It has been many years since my last meal at the Brownlow. My late wife Dee and I used to dine here regularly. After her passing, I spent a lot of time working in Sub-Equatorial Africa, providing water to remote areas. Now that I am back in Congleton, some of my neighbors decided to take me out for a birthday lunch, and to my surprise, they chose the Brownlow. I was a bit apprehensive, as the restaurant held so many wonderful memories for me. However, from the moment I walked in, any doubts I had were quickly dispelled. The warm greeting and smile at the reception desk set the tone for the rest of our dining experience. We were promptly seated with menus in hand, and our pre-meal drinks (a perfectly chilled Pinot) arrived with efficiency. The professionalism displayed in serving our meals was commendable and something that is often lacking in other restaurants. The presentation of our dishes was impeccable, and the quality of the food was evident in the clean plates at the end of our meal. I have always believed that people eat with their eyes first, and even those who prioritize presentation would be pleased with the artistry on display here. I will have no problem recommending the Brownlow to my family and friends in the future. The whole team's friendly and welcoming demeanor made for a pleasant dining experience. Special thanks to Simon, the chef, for a job well done - you definitely deserve a raise! I am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a memorable meal. Norman A Dean."

"We would like to express a specoal thanks to the waitress Eva who served us for a late Sunday Lunch today (9/04/23) she was very helpful , courteous,and attentive to our table from the point of arrival to departure. We were celebrating a birthday and Easter Sunday together as a family. Our review would have been higher if the food had been better. We had pre ordered as members of our group wanted roast dinner and 2 did not..despite me calling ahead twice a few days before their was a misunderstanding about one of the meal options. Although the portions sizes were plentiful the plates were dowsed in gravy which made the meals very soggy to eat so we did feel disappointed. We didnt feel the need to mention this as Eva had provided a good service. The desserts were delightful."

"As a solo traveller and diner I found the staff and service in the restaurant very good. Thoughtful gestures like providing reading material for a lone diner was much appreciated. Some effort to cut through any formalities was worth it conversationally. I had the duck and a pint of 0.5% West Nix beer on draught. The beer was decent to my taste and it is nice to see low alcohol beers making into draught form now. The duck breast was served pink right through, and not knowing anything about cooking duck and given the quality of the establishment, I trusted the situation; I was not given any choice e.g. like you are with steak. Reading up on it afterwards it seems this is a not uncommon practice, but interestingly the food standards agency recommends against it for predictable reasons. I can't really say any more about that except to make sure you are comfortable with and armed with knowledge about any risks you might perceive associated with eating duck served pink. The meal was very tasty and I enjoyed it during consumption."

"Cannot write a proper review because after calling in to the travellers rest today about 1pm for some lunch, we found the place closed after passing a number of times this year when ther appeared to be plenty of custom mid afternoon. We did not notice any notice of the situation after taking the trouble to travel there. Not very impressed with the lack of communication for the benefit of passing trade. We have decided not to try anymore times just to be met with this situation again."
