The Exeter Arms in Derby

Second visit to this fantastic pub/restaurant. Onion soup this time and like the minestrone it was exceptional. I followed this up with the kebab main. Really recommend this place and I can't wait to visit again. Friend had a prawn starter followed by pies. He agreed the food and service was fantastic.

Food was lovely and staff were helpful and friendly (even let our booking run over slightly when it was busy). There was a wait on food but that's cause it was before derby vs Fulham, so completely understandable. Great little gem of a pub and nachos are banging 👌

Lovely pub and eatery. Stand and have a pint in this lovely bar or sit and eat and drink. This is a well maintained traditional style pub. Lots of choice to drink served by warm, funny friendly staff. We sat and I had minestrone soup then steak. The soup is hands down the best I've ever had. The steak was a great cut and cooked to perfection. We sat in the doorway talking to a local with his dog, really friendly chilled out guy with a west Ireland terrier, lovely little dog. Turned out he owned the place. Food service was absolutely spot on. Talkative, helpful and friendly. The staff here are a credit to the place, also why so many people are and drank here. Thank you Exeter arms.

This hidden gem of a public housing is just a stone's throw from town. Super staff and quality food. Real ale lovers paradise. Recommend booking regardless of what day it is. 👍

Been here lots of times, always faultless, but having obviously not been in winter, was so disappointed having to eat in the back room where it was freezing. I never took my coat off, so we booked for the six of us again but in the other room, when we got there we were again put in the back room, being told they had set the other room for 13, well we had booked first, so again we had to eat in the cold, we were given blankets but not the same, the staff were lovely and the food was great but it was all spoilt by the fact that we were cold, so no way could we relax and enjoy, all in all a very disappointing two visits to a place that have always loved.

Did not expect to enjoy this meal so much. I like the option to choose chips or soup. The food was such good value for money and they havnt skimped any anything. I would definitely recommend and visit here again! Havnt had a meal that's shocked me in a while and this was fantastic! Nice beers on tap and a very relaxed vibe.

Visited today, lived in derby my whole life but have never been in. Great friendly atmosphere and very polite and helpful staff. The food was great with a special mention for the wings, I am a wing man and these are up there with the best I have had.Definitely returning soon
