Derby Arms, The Reviews

I visited The Derby Arms on Easter Sunday 2009 with my 9 year old son and my sister and her 11 year old daughter. I had roast chicken, my sister had roast pork, my niece had roast beef, which were all absolutely fantastic, couldn't fault a thing, my son who is very fussy had a cheese and tomato pizza which he loved. We then all had three sticky toffee puddings with clotted cream and chocolate brownie with chocolate ice cream which were all amazing. The presentation was also fantastic and to top it off the staff were great, all so cheerful, helpful and polite. Our waitress was called Adea was lovely, thank you to the chef Robert for the amazing food. We all had a great meal and lovely time; I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be visiting again.

I visited there last Sunday and had a fantastic experience. I wasn't aware that it had been refurbished and popped up on the off chance. The food was fresh and tasty and the staff where exceptional. This place is a true gem.

Over the last few months I have often eaten at The Derby Arms. The team is fantastic and the manager is always able to squeeze us in. If you haven't been since they were taken over, then I suggest you visit this place.

I've been to The Derby Arms a couple of times and have had fantastic meals on both occasions. The first time I went was with my boyfriend and as we didn't book on a Saturday night, we waited until a table was available in the bar area and had a meal there. The bar and the restaurant have the same menu. The scallops, fish and chips, and steak were gorgeous. The second time was a family meal, and again the service and food was great. The waitress knew what ‘gluten free’ meant and managed to answer questions related to the ingredients, which is very rare. The decor is lovely as it has recently been refurbished and prices are reasonable for a gastropub. There is a great outdoor seating area as well. We go out to many restaurants and the Epsom area has been waiting a long time for this place like this. I thoroughly recommend it.
