The Coopers Arms - South Derbyshire

Excellent Sunday carvery and decent portions. And this is a very nice wine to go with it.

Food was good. Served in a great old building with a fishing lake and outside benches and tables. We went on Sunday and had the carvery would like to go back and try other things on the menu

Really nice place. Recently, I booked for 14 of us to go for a Sunday carvery, a decision made in no small part because most people seem to love a carvery for their Sunday dinner, however I was the outlier in our group for not being a fan. I usually can't stand them, roast potatoes that wouldn't look out of place being fired out of cannons during the civil war, sorrowful veg that looks like it had lost the will to carry on long before it was plucked from the earth and Yorkshire puddings that you can knock nails in with just isn't my thing but sometimes it's easier to just go with the flow and find something that the majority will like. Faced with the fact that I might have to pick around the bits that looked suspect and maybe, if nothing else, I'll be able to take a piece of dry meat home to file my nails with later, I braced myself and took the plunge... ...Yeah, I'm an idiot for thinking those things and I'll happily accept that. My fears were soon dispelled as this was spot on and a very welcome change from the usual cheap n' cheerful carvery fare offered elsewhere. Myself and the rest of our party thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Pricier? Yes. Unacceptably pricier? No. Worth it? Absolutely. The kids meals were well received. The service was great (both waiting bar staff). The overall vibe of the place was very welcoming. My only regret? Not staying for dessert. Maybe next time? If anyone from the Cooper's Arms is reading this, you've got a good thing going. Keep it up!

Sunday lunch on bank Holiday Monday was lovely. The beef was cooked to perfection and yorkies seemed homemade

Been a few times for food and in no way can I find any faults. Service is excellent and staff are all friendly and better still you can have it as a takeaway
