Best Pubs in Chesterfield

Food and ambiance very good. We shared three excellent starters and two main courses. Excellent presentation, each dish very flavoursome . Regrettable, the desserts did not meet the standards of the starters and mains! Still, we will be coming back.

Really lovely pub. Great dog friendly atmosphere. Food was very good and value for money. No complaints here from us as a family of 4 visiting on Boxing Day while in the area.

Lovely festive set menu. Quick and attentive service, lovely food and good price.

Poor vegan options Although the vegan burger was lovely

Booked a table as location was convenient to catch up with friends for food and drinks. I had not eaten here for several years and had seen mixed reviews. Whilst the pub itself was maybe more busy than usual on the run up to Christmas service did not take long at the bar. My friends ordered pie and chips, fish and chips whilst I had ordered Mediterranean linguine with additional chicken. When the order arrived , there was no chicken with my pasta and the pie and chips looked extremely underwhelming - size of portion mainly. As it happened we hadn’t been charged for the chicken and as it would have taken 10 minutes to arrive, decided it really wasn’t that essential. The linguine was ok, plenty of vegetables and whilst the fish and chips looked uninspiring were quite nice. I will certainly go to the Abbey again for drinks but can’t say any of us would be ordering food in the future.
