The Farmhouse

Excellent Sunday lunch with really good service from Caitlin (thanks for the mint sauce). Nice big dining room with plenty of quieter nooks for those who don’t like it loud. We had beef and pork between us. Pleasingly the food isn’t over salted though the portions are vast.

Lovely relaxed lunch with the family to celebrate a special birthday. The happy birthday brownie platter was a nice surprise. Everyone was happy with their meal selection and Jake was a very friendly and helpful table host. The only downside was that we were too full for dessert.

Good service from Jake. Meal was ok, good pub food. Only one staff serving, but food came in good time. Good choice on the menu, lots to choose from. Sat in the conservatory part which was lovely, shame the sun wasn't out when we visited. Would come again

We have had a brilliant time today with family. The food was tasty and cooked just the way we like. We had a very friendly waiter, jake, who worked above and beyond for us. Thank you to Jake and the rest of the team for making a birthday meal special.

Fantastic service & food. It was mums birthday and I let them know prior. Our lovely waiter Jake organised a lovely Happy Birthday board with brownies and strawberries! The little things that make a difference, we’ll be back again. Thanks so much :)

We booked Sunday lunch, in a separate room, for a 60th birthday party. There were 25 of us, including 10 children. The room was excellent, giving us privacy and space for the children to play. Service was great- getting 25 meals out at the same time takes some skill. The waiters/ waitresses were great, efficient, polite, friendly- even though the rest of the pub was busy and they were rushed off their feet. Food was lovely, all hot and well cooked. For a big family get together we really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you

We came to your restaurant for a birthday meal. To start the young brunette that waited our table was lovely. Unfortunately we waited nearly 40 minutes for 6 drinks to arrive. When they did get the the table, the cocktails that had prosecco in was flat and not very nice. She soon got this sorted out for us and bought us fresh drinks. We ordered food and we were served by a different waitress. She was rude and you got the impression she didn't want to be there. She wasn't nice when we said that the food she brought out wasn't ours she stomped back off into the kitchen. We then had to further complain as most of it was cold. This was all sorted out by the lovely and very helpful general manager. He sorted it all out for us. We just hope that the staff there can be a little more pleasant next time we come. Pizza was amazing, and the mac and cheese was lush.

Myself and my partner Stayed over for 1 night in September, The room was very disappointing and looked dirty and needed updating, the carpet needed replacing , walls needed painting and the bathroom was old and tired. The bar area down Stairs was much better.

What. A. Venue. The Folly at The Farmhouse is absolutely beautiful, stunningly memorable and is the perfect, private paradise for any bride and groom. My wife and I married here in July 2022 and the team made it so easy throughout. Our wedding co-ordinators Paige and Rebecca were incredibly supportive and their expertise and insight helped shape all the major moments in our special day smooth and simple. The venue itself is fantastic. The wedding reception space was incredibly bright, intimate and gorgeously put together. The huge private gardens outside were brilliant for the children in our family to relax and play in a fun, safe environment and made for a beautiful setting for some of our photos. Our wedding breakfast and evening reception was brilliant as well. The room is spacious and spotless, plus the air conditioning kept us all cool and collected on a hot summer day. Every single one of our guests loved their accommodation on-site at The Folly and have already told me they already plan to stay here again next time they are in Derby. Each and every room was incredibly spacious, homely, clean and comfortable… and the bridal suite was something else! The Folly at The Farmhouse is perfect. What’s more the price was extremely competitive and was far better value for money than every other comparable venue in the Derby area. Plus, the team were more than happy to work with us and even made a few concessions to help us work within our budget. Thank you so much to everyone at The Folly!
