Friary Derby

Waste of time! Went today to watch the British Grand Prix qualifying at 3pm as they advertised as showing it before the football at 5pm. Got in and nothing but tennis on all the screens....... Asked to see it and was told "we normally show football" (helpful). I asked could they put it on anywhere (it's a big venue), they actually did in another area of the building, good stuff, as we weren't bothered about sitting at the main bar anyway. Just at the start of the second part of F1 qualifying the TV was changed to the news..... We asked twice for it to be put back on, and they agreed both times, but it didn't change. Left disappointed and undervalued. Seemed short staffed, had run out of Guinness, and wine was sparse with a lot of white not in the fridge. Won't be back, I can watch the news at home with cold wine and Guinness. School report D minus "Must try harder"........

Good burgers and good booze. Took a long time to be served although the place was empty, seemed to only have one person on the bar. Bonus for having wireless charging points on thee table though!

Great food and drinks and great service, Nathan behind the bar was so super helpful and welcoming! Popping atmosphere and they also had the football with clear commentary, win win xxx

Had an amazing experience here yesterday with my partner and two boys. Holly and Charlie were so helpful and friendly. They got games out for my little one to play with and were so attentive the entire time. The food was great (they were amazing at helping with my youngest ones allergies) and the drinks were fab too. I've never known a bottomless brunch to have such amazing food options. My little one had already asked when we can go back! Thank you so much for making my birthday celebrations so enjoyable!! We'll definitely be returning 🥰

Absolutely sensational experience! Made my team meal a pleasure! Very accommodating experience! A host named Ben was a star! Also the lady in the funky trousers! If I could’ve give a 100 stars I would’ve!

Had a great experience of having a few drinks at Friary. Charlie the manager and Katlin the chef.Was unbelievable accommodating to me and my girlfriend. Didn't have to be but went above and beyond to give us a class night!! much appreciated.

I visited this venue to watch the rugby last night. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend people trying out this place such good atmosphere and amazing staff.
