"I am deeply disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. We ordered only vegan side dishes, specifically fries and vegan nuggets, yet the service was a complete disaster. An item that looked like nuggets was placed on our table and then taken away a total of five times, being placed on different tables around the room before being returned to us. The waiter then said, “sorry we weren’t sure whose food this was but it’s actually yours.” My whole family began eating, only for the waiter to come back three minutes later and tell us we had been given the wrong food. When we asked what nuggets we had eaten, he said it was ham. As Muslims, we don’t eat pork, so we were horrified by this response. We specifically ordered vegan side dishes for a reason. How could they mess that up so badly? Why did we eat here? Because we’re not from Manchester and we specifically went to a nice space to watch football. The waiter took the dish away, leaving us disgusted that we had just eaten pork for the first time. My mother, who wears a hijab, was with us, so it was particularly ignorant of the waiters to mistakenly give us pork. None of them took it seriously or even apologized for the mistake. Instead, when one waiter took the dish away, another one BROUGHT IT BACK and told us we could have the whole thing for free since we already ate it. I told him, “we literally just told the other waiter we don’t eat pork,” to which he responded, “oh okay!” with a smile and walked away. What a nightmare! It was incredibly frustrating to watch them mistakenly put those nuggets on five different tables before assuring us it was ours, only to then tell us they had made a mistake again after we had eaten it. Don’t they have a system to track which food belongs to which table? I also saw these waiters make multiple other mistakes, placing different food on different tables and having people call them back to say they didn’t order it. The waiters are both male with long blonde hair. How is this allowed? If someone had an allergy and mistakenly ate something they didn’t order, this restaurant could be sued. Someone who is vegan/vegetarian could also have been frustrated by this? But obviously, our case was not taken seriously because it wasn’t an allergy. This experience was unacceptable and I am still recovering from it."

"Food was severely lacking in flavour, quality and general appeal. I saw this place online and looked great, although the overall customer service was of a high standard with kind and attentive waiters/waitresses, the food took us off guard. We ordered a rib eye steak (requested as medium rare but arrived extremely well done), 2x bland chicken steaks and a chewy little lamb steak, all with a far from generous helping of garlic sauce. It hurts me to see such a great cut of beef which claims to be marbled, to be disrespected by the way this was cooked. Unfortunately the excessively large cut chips were also poor company to sad looking slabs of meat that lay centrepiece to the dishes. The whole meal was served on a bed of over boiled noodles sticking to a dangerously hot plate, making the steak difficult to cut as it tries to balance itself on gelatinous pile of noodles (I would’ve much preferred they serve me a pot noodle). The overcompensating 2 inch platform of a plate that the meal was served on did no favours to the food, and the “sizzler” element seemed to only be reflected through the excess smoke and noise that went on too long. The side of veggies reminded me of an unseasoned, depressing, microwaved bowl of carrots and peas pulled through a frozen bag straight from a freezer in Iceland. The general taste and execution of this meal was extremely poor, I couldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone, the only saving grace from my experience was the cleanliness of the venues, and politeness of the staff. And as much as it pains me to say, the best part of the meal was the jarritos cola. I cannot express my disappointment enough, as I had hyped myself up all week thinking this meal would be worth the wait, unfortunately I had never been so wrong. 1/10"

"This is our usual venue for celebrations both because its local and because usually its a well priced great food but based on my experience last night I wont be going back for a while. A number of things went wrong, and any one on its own would have just been put down as bad fortune, but all together suggests that the owners of Derby Arms are trying to offer a fine dining experience but not backing it up. 1) I booked online and mentioned the booking was for my wife 's birthday, and at no point was this mentioned. In its self this wasn 't an issue as she never likes the attention of it, but it does suggest that nobody paid attention to the note made under special requests and dietary issues so does suggest that if I 'd made a dietary comment it may also have been ignored here 2) They brought out the wrong starter, firstly the server seemed to be expecting me to accept what he brought out, and then returned to the kitchen to get what had been ordered which did arrive very soon after. The lady who took our order came to apologise and blamed the kitchen, but given the same item was on our bill it was clearly her error. 3) The waiting staff were very pleasant but not very attentive. This was highlighted best when the server arrived with our main course and our starter plates had not been taken away. A bit of juggling later (thankfully there was a spare table nearby) all was sorted 4) When you order a £30 steak you 'd expect decent meat, served well Not on a wooden block with chips in a cup (very pub styly) 5) Both steak meals had things missing, my wife had no chips and I was missing the extra onion rings ordered. Once highlighted they arrived in good time When you 're paying £75 a head for a pub meal you really expect many of these mistakes not to be made and there is every chance we were just unlucky."
