The Farmhouse At Mackworth - Derby

I recently attended a club meeting at the Library and found the venue to be nice, with very helpful staff. However, I was shocked at the prices Marstons charged for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and Chile. The ordinary wine was priced at £14 and £10 respectively, making it quite expensive. It's best to stick to water with your meal to avoid overspending on drinks. Several people in our group were also surprised by the prices when they received their drinks.

We had dinner with our family on a Sunday evening while visiting the area. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. There is a large car park available and I know from previous visits that they have a lovely garden for the summer months.

My friend had a voucher, which we gladly used. We decided to go for lunch and were delighted with our experience. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The entire staff was friendly and eager to assist. My friend chose the steak pie and I opted for fish and chips. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which were delicious and served piping hot. The efficiency of the staff was impressive, and the kitchen should be commended for the quality of the food and its presentation. Jake primarily served us and provided exceptional service, but all the staff members were fantastic.

Six of us came today, we all chose the three course lunchtime menu, which was served quickly and was quite acceptable. our servers were friendly , helpful and efficient.Everyday dining .

This place used to be fabulous with all home cooked food. Unfortunately it has now gone all Marston's branded, with food presumably bought in and heated up on site. I'm sure that makes a higher profit margin per plate for Marstons but its not what I want I try really hard to avoid ultra processed food, I cook from scratch at home, and I expect restaurants to do the same. The food has changed from fabulous to average and I won't be back in a hurry.
