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 recommend that people give this place a wide berth.

We hired the George for an event with friends and family and it was fantastic. A gastro pub atmosphere with delicious food and friendly and incredibly helpful staff. Thé garden area is beautiful and the space is really good and diverse. I can’t fault it. If you are considering for a wedding, birthday or event then don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed

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.

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 never eat there again. I must say the young waiters and waitress were excellent and unfortunately had to take all the stick from us before we got to speak to the manager.

Had a lovely family roast dinner this afternoon. Friendly staff and the service was very efficient, yet we were not at all rushed. It was a nice atmosphere. The food was really lovely, especially the roast beef - portion sizes good too. Will definitely come again!

Very nice food, good service. A little quiet but that can be good at times. Nice rural setting

Easy booking online. On arrival greeted with a very warm welcome. A good varied menu, catering for all dietary requirements. Food was excellent , and reasonably priced along with very attentive service. Would thoroughly recommend.Vegetarian options: Good for gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free and vegan option availableParking: Plenty of parking availableWheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheel chair accessible
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 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

I came for dinner with friends on a Saturday evening and had a really lovely time. The food was delicious; I had the Seabass which was perfectly cooked. We had a really nice bottle of rosé and then a few cocktails, yum! The waitress that served us was really friendly and went the extra mile to make our experience great. Will definitely return for family meals soon! Thank you The George :)
