The Welbeck Inn - Chesterfield

There are some awful pubs in Chesterfield. This isn't one of them. It's like stepping back in time in a good way. You'll get a lot of local pensioners in at lunchtimes for the great value food and beer which is far better than finding a pub just filled with lager swilling yoofs but there's a warm welcome for everyone, of all ages. The landlord and his staff are really friendly and they will tell anyone who gets carried away to please mind their language, which is great to see nowadays we don't all want to hear the f word every ten seconds. A proper pub is the landlord's house, after all. Trendy it isn't traditional carpets etc and it's all the better for it. With so many frankly unpleasant pubs nearby this is one to keep hold of. Dog friendly, too. Children allowed with a warning that they mustn't run around disturbing other guests. All good.

Good regular food at very sensable price for a town pub

Absolutely fantastic as always! The staff are friendly, and the Old Speckled Hen is always a winning choice.

Absolutely stunning food and a top-notch pint! I visited again today and tried the large men's stones dish, which was delicious. Even though I didn't eat anything else, everything looked really appetizing.

I absolutely love this bar! The food is delicious and very reasonably priced, and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The menu offers a fantastic selection of home-cooked dishes. Plus, there’s a pool table and outdoor seating, which adds to the overall atmosphere.
