We had a wonderful Christmas Turkey dinner yesterday at the Joiners Arms - the best we have ever had at a pub or restaurant. Really friendly staff too .. well done We will be back Steve & Jackie

We visited here with our daughter who has visted here previously and I couldn't fault anything. The service was great, especially by Brad', and there was a lovely atmosphere and very attractive decorations. All the staff seemed pleasant and helpful; which isn't always the case in this type of restaurant. The food was superb and great value for money and our fish and chips was beautifully presented, as were all the meals. It's just a shame that we live so far away in East Devon as we'd be regular visitors otherwise. Well done.

Excellent hidden gem out a bit in the countryside just a few miles from the A6. You could pass it without knowing what’s inside this white flat sided building. Small entrance to the car park with JA logo on the side of the building. Plenty of parking but the restaurant can accommodate a lot of tables with two key areas with their own bars. Large menu selection with pizzas, burgers, fish and chips, and Asian options plus a lot more. First place I have seen a good selection of over 100 beers which includes at least 6+ zero alcohol beers for the drivers. Portions are good with excellent fast friendly service. Challenge for this location is the size of the toilets and cleanliness. First time I can remember giving 5 stars for everything. Definitely recommend and a must if in the area but suggest booking at busy times.

This is undoubtedly among the finest dining establishments in Derby, possibly the best. The wood-fired pizzas were exquisite. Service was exceptional, especially with Freya, Rose, and Lily, who were particularly welcoming and accommodating to families with children. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively. The drink selection was satisfactory. It’s highly recommended to book online to ensure a reserved table at this popular spot. The main courses were decent. There’s also a spacious parking area available for guests. Great experience overall!

Stopped by for lunch around 3ish. Place was so busy but managed to find a seat. Greeted by Mica who was lovely! Even though it was busy and she was probably stressed she greeted with a smile and was helpful getting an alpaca for me 😊😊 Food was lush as expected for the Chilled Pubs! Lovely experience. Not too long a wait for food considering. Looking forward to coming back

Nice place to visit. Very busy so preebook to make sure you have a table . Customer service on a top. The only issue ordering through the app. A few things from the order were missing a had to remind a few times. Food portions are great but taste cant tell that its a 5*. Steak was a bit burned, burgers a bit dry, burger buns cold, fries very oily, pizza the only meal that came out perfect. But another issue is that we were a company of 6 at the table and it was 3 pizzas, steak and burgers ordered. Pizzas came in 10 min and the rest came in about 30m. So half of a company were watching how another eating there pizzas . And then for the rest of the time first half were watching the rest as all pizzas finished. Would be nice for all meals served at the same time.

This is a very special place with an exciting and varied menu, great atmosphere and above all exemplary staff who know how to look after their guests. I would like to give a special shout out to our waitperson "Brad", who was highly professional and really added to our enjoyment by explaining the highlights on the menu and generally being attentive and helpful. The highlights for me were the tomato and garlic bread, with its fluffy woodfired base and also the real onion rings which came with the perfectly cooked steak. Guests get a little bad of sweets at the end of their meal, which is an awesome touch as was the totally unexpected high cream plate they presented as a celebration of my return to the UK. You won't leave the Joiners hungry, with large portions and beautifully presented food. I can see why people rave about this establishment as it is one of Derby's finest! I wish I could give it 6 out of 5!!!

We had delicious pizza today for lunch. Many varieties made more difficult to choose the best. But Katie (staff) helped us and proposed to have two different varieties per person. That was made us to have the best. Will visit again soon. The staff were very friendly specifically Katie ❤️

Outdoor seating area was very nice and cool on a hot summers day. Staff were friendly and attentive. Service was quick, ordering through the app. The menu had a great variety. Only thing that let it down was the cremated food. I think someone needs to turn down the heat on the grill. The place seems to lack enough toilets for the capacity of the indoor and outdoor areas. Other than that would visit again.

Having enjoyed a couple of meals at the Hunloke Arms we decided to visit another pub in the Chilled Pubs chain and popped into the Joiners Arms. It’s much the same kind of experience as we’d had before – a really lovely venue with a great atmosphere, good food and generally great vibes. Strong themes in terms of layout – rustic meets modern – and the food and service were really high quality. Loved the very large beer garden, which is where we sat. Ordering was a breeze – though lack of staff outside meant I had to go indoors for a pizza box (but that’s not really a massive issue). Really liked that you could order tap water on the app – it’s all I really drink when driving. The Joiners Arms actually has two beer gardens, one open at the front and then the semi-covered one at the back. Inside it’s very cosy with multiple rooms to eat or just have drinks. Pizza was great. High quality, good value. The Chilled Pubs tour will continue …
