We are a lunch club of 12 mature ladies. We don't mind paying top money for good food but at Lovejoys not one of us had a meal we could eat. Firstly they ran out of roast beef, on a Sunday? We were booked for 12.30 so not a late booking which might have been understandable. The potatoes were so hard we couldn't cut them as was the Yorkshire pudding. The lamb was supposed to be leg but, by the fattiness, it was a cheap cut of shoulder. The presentation was awful as it was just thrown on the plate and covered in gravy. A gastro pub it is not as they obviously don't know the meaning of gastronomy. We asked for coffee but the machine wasn't working! They reduced our bills accordingly but will ne...
This cramped venue is basically split into 3 sections making circulation among friends very cumbersome. One serious health and safety issue is the wooden floor which is raised next to the bar which people tripped over. They had so many untrained bar staff it was almost impossible to get served. I would recommend that if drinking spirits you taste before adding a mixer because I definitely did not get what I ordered. To cap an unenjoyable night the 3 ornate cake stands that we loaned to the host were unfortunately left at the venue and despite phone calls requesting their whereabouts we were eventually told they have been thrown out. This leaves a very bad taste in the month and I would recom...
As per the Derbyshire Jet Setter review. The food was terrible ted cabbage burnt. Lamb more fat than meat, potatoes brown lumps of rock. When the waiting staff started to say at 1 o'clock we have run out of beef bells began to ring. Our mistake for not leaving then. The waiting staff did all they could to keep the service on track. The manager totaly gutless never came near the dining room with yhe issues they were having we would have thought more if he had closed before things got so bad. If you get there and get an inclination they are having a bad day leave straight away.
My friends and I had a wonderful dinner at The George on a Saturday evening. The Seabass I ordered was cooked perfectly and delicious. We enjoyed a nice bottle of rosé and some tasty cocktails. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure we had a great experience. I will definitely be returning for family meals in the future. Thank you, The George!

We took family members out for a birthday treat. Very disappointing food was tasty but served barely warm, restaurant was cold and we all came out not feeling particularly full. Overpriced and won’t be returning. Such a shame as we’d looked forward to our Saturday evening out with family
Amazing food quality, service was great and staff were very attentive and efficient. We didn't feel as though we were waiting for ages and would definitely come again and would happily and confidently bring close friends and family for a great quality meal.

Had a wonderful Christmas lunch at Lovejoys with my family. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. The service was outstanding. Thank you for a great day.
Had a pleasant Sunday lunch a few weeks ago in a nice setting with a good service but the menus advertised are still out of date which is misleading
