Castlewood Brewers Fayre in Bolsover

Food is delicious enough, service is good, restaurant is clean, parking is available.

Very good. Fish was big and tasty.

Dirty and run down. two people on our table of four were served dinner and the other two weren't meaning everyone ate separately. Poor all round. Will never eat here ever again. It's a disgrace.

First time here. Staff brilliant. My Gammon perfect. Lovely clean and smart restaurant.

Excellent all round. What a lovely surprise. I'd recommend the sirloin steak which was very good quality and extremely tasty. The staff were all very friendly and I'd give top marks except I can't give top marks for service when I have to order at the bar. The process are very reasonable too and you can get some great discounts on already good prices and a quality meal. We'll be back.

Nice place for a catch up with a special friend.

We always stop to eat here when travelling to Chesterfield. The guys again found us a table late lunch time. Gammon and Mixed grill meals perfectly cooked with raspberry tea and Doombar on tap. Staff super helpful and friendly as always. They even do gluten-free options. Thanks again guys.

Very nice went for breakfast cannot fault it...was very nice in fact excellent ...help yourself to various items ..

Great steak would have quite happily upgraded to 12oz Watch out for the 20% vat

Loved the meal and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Had fish and chips was very nice

The place was good and the food but long waits when busy...

Fabulous meal here this evening. All 4 meals from the festive menu and everyone was happy. Tasty and hot food, helpful staff and lovely carvery veg. Nom nom nom

Made my daughter's family birthday meal special 🎈 ty 🥳😁

Happen ti mention was my birthday brought me out chocolate even though we only had a snack

Great for pub grub. Service was great. Food was quick to come out. Nice and hot. Decent food.

When visiting today, the food was amazing and the staff was amazing and kind. Would recommend to others

Lovely helpful staff and good food.

I ate there last night and was going to have the mixed grill but changed my mind at the till. I went for the carvery which I'd normally avoid. However it was actually excellent perfectly cooked roast potatoes which most places can't achieve. There was nothing I could fault about it. The staff were excellent managing to find me a table when I'd not booked ahead. Nothing was too much trouble. Great selection of beers. I'd suggest you book if you're going on a Sunday as it's pretty busy and I now know why.

Absolutely fine family friendly pub. Only reason why i didnt give 5 stars is because its not the best place ive been too but they are good at what they do.

Welcoming and a warm atmosphere, will visit again for sure

Good food but was disappointed that we were told there are no tables unless booked and we would have to sit in the bar area even though the place was empty.

Went on Sunday so very busy and noisy food very expensive for what it is ....Carvery best option looked good But what spoilt the whole meal was someones DOG slavering at us from the next table .....since when do Brewers Fayre let dogs in and it wasnt an assistance dog so shudnt have been there.....very unhygenic...

Went in as a group of 18 no problem for them to seat us was busy great value breakfast

Staff were all happy and nice and welcoming especially Connor great atmosphere warm cosy and busy but not packed food took 45 minutes though and it was a basic pizza nothing special the chips nice small tho and garlic bread banging but expensive the pint of lager was £6 but maybe that expected I haven’t drunk for a while It’s ok but the food is mediocre at best the staff make up for it

I'm in a powerchair & there's enough room everywhere, l had steamed fish, mashed potato & mushy peas. we go there once a month as its half way for families to meet, always nice food plus somewhere for the children to play inside & outside

Fab breakfast staff very friendly lots of choice, pancakes yoghurt pastries full English, dab coffee n juices.

Brilliant fast service, food was lovely and hot with plenty of choice. Two children eat free when one adult eats 😄

The food was very good and staff was very friendly and helpful will visit again soon

Didn't have food, but beer and people were lovely only there for an hour a quick visit

Spec for breakfast on the way to the airport Just off the M1 so perfectly located. The staff are very friendly, food was lovely and there's plenty of parking. We went at the end of breakfast and didn't feel pressured to leave.

Very good value for money. Rooms are spotless. Staff are friendly. Bar area is nice and relaxing. Swimming pool and leisure available.

Great food, visit every weekend, provide great gluten free options, don't have to wait ages. Really recommend this place for food.

The only criticism we had was the portion size on the meal deals, some people on the table next to us had the same dishes as some on our table and their portions were much bigger than ours. So although it seems great value you're actually getting less for your money. Breakfast was great though and staff were amazing.

Good place for a pint and chat .Home and friendly

I visited here this afternoon with my sister and little boy. In the politest way possible, we were really pleasantly surprised and impressed. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We ate off the daytime menu where we had two main meals for £12 and a three course meal off the children’s menu. We then decided to go back and have some dessert because the mains were so nice. The entire bill came up to £23 and it was really tasty, especially for the price. We look forward to returning! 😊

Ordered a plaster with steak,everything was ok,but I couldn't eat the steak,it was so tough and chewy,I told the waitress when she came for the plates,she said sorry,that was it, not happy

Brewers fare,called as we were hungry, it did it's job.

We had the carvery, good choices, plenty on offer. We were not offered table water and the atmosphere was very noisy.

Restaurant was quite busy but the staff were amazing served by Emma and above and beyond to help :)

Great place for a buffet breakfast. Huge choice of hot and cold items. Great value for money. The staff are very welcoming and efficient.

Just visited Castlewood BF, really comfortable, great food at a good price. Great service from Sam. Nothing was too much trouble. Well done Sam :)

Been for a carvery today it was lovely , the staff were brilliant and nothing was to much trouble . Deffinatly recommend will come again.

Food was OK, except the chips which neither me nor my friend ate. Didn't like the cheesecake either it tasted powdery and we didn't finish it. Service was quick and the staff were very pleasant.

Gorgeous food, lovely friendly staff

Mid food, mid service and way way too noisy where we sat. Food came out fairly quickly but wasn't anything special, I had the smothered platter and was expecting something mega but it was just 'ok', I know it's a pub for kids and families as its got a play area but young kids shouldn't be running and screaming through the main pub area.(I've got 3 lads) so know how they are sometimes but still it was way too loud in there whilst your trying to have a meal. Nobody came to ask how the food was probably a good job as it wasn't that good. Overall 2/5. Staff were pleasant just not attentive.

Good venue nice menu what more can I say 😋 👍

My family eat here frequently, we celebrate birthdays here, enjoy their breakfast & go just for the sake of a lovely meal. Our last visit was made extra special by Sam who went above & beyond for us. She greeted me at the till like I was a friend, instantly made me laugh & continued to entertain all of us each time she walked past us. Sam is absolutely amazing. All of the staff are awesome, we love visiting Castlewood.

A joint review for Emma and Sam on front of house and Shaun in the kitchen. Been staying here for 6 months regulary for work and always have the best service, friendly staff and great food. I'm fussy with my steaks and there was no issue in my requests to a change on platter meals and pay extra attention to a good rare steak. Perfect. Highly recommended and always a pleasure to be here during business travels. Thanks

This is a very busy place with an outdoor playground. Staffed well, was fully booked when we came. We would definitely come here again.

Emma is a amazing member of staff she always makes sure my stay is a warm welcome and my pint of madri at the ready credit to your company

Just popped in for a quick drink and to use the kiddies play area. It was clean and well supervised.

Had a wonderful breakfast at Castle Wood (Brewers Fayre)! It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet with everything you could possibly want to kickstart your day. There’s a great selection of hot food, plus cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants, and even pancakes! I’m a tea lover, and my husband is all about the coffee – both were refillable, which was fab. We were greeted by the lovely Gemma, and Tori and Wayde were also incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel right at home. We went on a Tuesday, and it was pleasantly quiet, which made for a nice relaxed morning. Highly recommend if you’re looking to fill up before tackling the day ahead!

Nidle place. Food portions a little small in comparison to green king. Staff friendly. Good value on soft drinks.

We nipped in for lunch and for the kids to play in the softplay area. Food was lovely and quite quick service. Staff were all polite and helpful.

2 kids and 1 adult eat all ya can £9.99 unbelievable price great value good food and variety 5☆

Fantastic breakfast lovely staff

Good staff, average food. Relaxed atmosphere.

Food is lousy nothing good to say the only redeeming thing is breakfast. The beer is flat. If your staying in the Premier Inn do yourself a favor and walk over to the Holiday Inn the food is better especially their specials

Desperate for breakfast so called in here. Cold beans, cold eggs, black pudding soggy and broken up as were the hash browns. Won't bother again. Expensive for what you got and the quality of food

First time visit. All you can eat Breakfast was amazing, all staff were lovely and friendly. Good coffee. Very much enjoyed and highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant place food was spot on relaxing place to be and children's play area is an added bonus 100% recommended

Went for a meal on sat August 18th. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Went to order food and was queuing for around 10-15mins. Staff were walking by the queue and ignoring us. After a 30min wait for 2 jacket potatoes they arrived on one plate and with a jug of gravy instead of coleslaw. Tbf they swopped the coleslaw quite quickly and brought the extra plate. . Then they came over mid meal and asked for the difference in price which was only 80p... I said so we have to pay for your mistakes and she just said yes. Won't be going back ... The staff ignored us....the wait for food was bad considering the place was empty... Then they got the meal wrong and brought it on one plate and then charged us extra for all this.

Great pub with a soft play area and outdoor playground for the kids.

Lovely pub and food was gorgeous but was a little disappointed with the menu choice, we went on a sat evening and the choice wasn't as much as if we had gone during the week

Visited for breakfast this week and was more than happy with the selection and price, basically you got the whole choice as if you've stayed overnight in the hotel. Cost us 20 quid for a family of 4 unlimited drinks and food, absolutely wipes the floor with Toby brekkie which used to be the best, sadly not anymore.

Service was fast, food matches the price point, just what we needed mid travels

Went as a last minute change of plans, when ordering food for our picky 4 year old wanted chicken poppers with rice and curry sauce on the side instead of chips and peas, the server took our order not saying anything about maybe not being able to do this meal 5 minutes later the server comes back and told us the kitchen refused to do it for him, now they have all these other things with other meals on the menu but they flat out refused because they didn't want to reveal they microwave their meals to us, The kitchen staff need retraining if they are simply unable to swap chips for rice

Enjoyed our meal the staff were very helpful good atmosphere the locals were nice to us can't fault it

Lovely place to eat, staff really nice and friendly 😊

Can't fault this pub. Staff very friendly and food was good. Would use again.

Children’s soft play party on a Saturday morning. Sarah was great! Taking the stress out of a children’s party! She set the table with breakfast boxes, brought out the birthday cake, cut up the cake for the party bags and cleared up all the mess! A lovely party enjoyed by the adults as well as the children. What a treat to have a cooked breakfast- very easy as Sarah did the orders for food too. Plenty of tables available for the adults to sit and eat.

Quick food stop. Normal fare, satisfactory and at reasonable prices.

Regular visits with my family. Restaurant staff are very welcoming & friendly. Food menu is typical of this of type of venue, never had a bad meal. We use the play area often when we take my nieces, Sarah is lovely and attentive and keeps it very clean too.

Me and my daughter came I tried the new pizzas they was amazing staff friendly deffo a 5 star restaurant

Called in for lunch on Tuesday and the food was great hot and tasty. Thank you to Gemma callum and Taylor for being welcoming

Lovely friendly staff very welcoming, lovely atmosphere great meal's

Food took 30 mins but it was nice (12pm)

The size of the portion was disgusting when you compare to the price. £13 for a sharing platter that was anything but. There is no way that's a sharing platter. It used to be so good and genuine value for money. Ridiculously overpriced for what you got. Thoroughly disgusted and won't be going there again.

Me and my wife had a very nice meal here mid afternoon. The staff are very friendly always happy to help.

Pleasant staff, midweek evening meal was tasty and well cooked. The adjacent Premier Inn and Holiday Inn means it is frequented by business types, not judging, just saying, so can be a little matter of fact feel

The barman had hay-fever which apparently affected his ability to serve me with only yes or no answers. All a tad strange. What I figured out though is that Sunday mornings are self service for coffee. It's not quite what I would have liked but it served its purpose.

20 minute wait at the bar to order, after ordering told “oh by the way it’s a 45 minute wait for food” Cheers youth, you’re not busy, it’s half full at best, why are you totally unprepared for customers?

Great friendly staff and a brilliant place to eat and relax I love it

Nice menu, but not many low calorie options for lunch.

Really good food and very family friendly

Me and my family went to the Castlewood for breakfast this morning. We was greeted by the lovely Callum. Breakfast was lovely and hot and was a very good arrange of things. Will for sure be coming back!

The staff are always helpful and polite and nothing is too much trouble for them when helping or advising, the food is always hot and cooked to perfect.

I came in a wheelchair with my son we went outside to play on the park area. The floor was messy on observation. All the umbrella were down offering no shade. My sons mum figured out how to put one up. The food was spot on although no cutlery was brought out and drinks were good too

Awesome breakfast buffet. Order the Full English Breakfast.

Virtually excellent, did enjoy meal n service. Recommended.

Loved it, excellent staff & great food

Needs a good clean, tables and menus sticky and dirty.

Went for a Father’s Day meal with my kids. My eldest daughter who is autistic really struggled with how busy the play area was. Jennifer who was the member of staff in there was amazing with her and went out of her way to make her happy and feel not so overwhelmed. Amazing member of staff.

Fabulous place, lovely soft play for the kids.

Very nice service and the food was excellent compliments to all staff

Great place for food or just a beer after work, staff are great, Emma in particular always makes us feel welcome.

Emma.. always service with a smile 👌👌

Today is my first time came here and so impressed and happy about the food quality and nice service experience. If you are so lucky to meet a lovely sweet lady, Megan , with her sweet smile on face, definitely will bring your dining experience to another level. If you want to enjoy the food and relaxing moment, then please don't miss Castlewood Brewers Faye here. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉
