De Rhodes Arms or Treble Bob

[Crazy 10]

Which would you recommend for food and drinks on first date

 

Thanks x x

[willman 10]

Not DE Rodes, the food is terrible .

It's okay if you're both ladened with kids and have no wish for a nice chat or food.

[sheffgrow 10]

neither of them sound very romantic for a first date

[Iron Feliks 10]

Neither, unless you want the first date to stand a good chance of being the last!

 

Agree with the comment on the De Rhodes. Of you want to eat out you'd be better off eating out of paper standing on the pavement outside a decent chippy. Can anyone recommend Wetherby's off the Parkway?

[Bad_Hair_Day 10]

For a first date? The Moss Brook is a lot better than the Treble Bob & De Rhodes, and only a couple of miles down the road. Hope it goes well!

[milton152 10]

Intrigued now... Which one did you go to?

[DerbyTup 10]

Neither.

 

If you are set on Barlborough then the Dusty Miller would be a better choice.

 

Or get him to take you to Van Dyke's just down the road.

[DLJ72 10]

Barlborough has some good pubs but DeRodes and Treble Bob are not them!

 

I work with one of the other establishments in the village, so it would be biased of me to recommend a specific one!

 

The ones that don't belong to any big chain are Rose & Crown, Royal Oak and The Dusty Miller so they are all different from the mass produced chain ready meals!

Has The Dusty Miller improved ? . Went in a couple of years ago and it was terrible, tired décor , cold food and no one in there apart from us.

I would stay away from the Crown Carvery pubs like the De Rhodes, Moorlands etc, the food is cheap but dire, what does £3.95 for a carvery say to you, you get what you pay for? The Treble Bob is more expensive but the food isn't much better. Both these places are teaming with kids racing about.
