📍 0.4 miles from Pride Park Stadium
Right by Pride Park’s business area and cited as the closest pub to the stadium, the Harvester is a handy pre-match spot. Guides note it usually accepts away supporters, while local beer listings say it gets very busy on Derby County home games—so expect a mixed crowd on matchdays. It also shows live sport (including Sky Sports listings), useful if you’re catching earlier kick-offs, and it’s a full-service restaurant with an extensive menu for proper pre- or post-match meals.
I recently visited Harvester and had such a fantastic experience thanks to Sharon and Chef Ade. Sharon’s customer service was absolutely outstanding from the moment we arrived. She was warm, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the entire visit. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she handled everything with such professionalism and positivity. It’s rare to come across someone who goes above and beyond the way Sharon does she truly made our meal special. A huge compliment also to Chef Ade, whose food was excellent. Everything was cooked perfectly, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell there is care and passion put into the food. Together, Sharon and Chef Ade made our visit memorable, and I’ll definitely be returning because of the amazing service and quality. Thank you both for such a wonderful dining experience!
Had a lovely lunch out today. Service was excellent, Harriet was there instantly to get us to our table and ask what drinks we would like. Drinks arrived swiftly by another lovely member of staff. Food arrived not long after we'd finished from the salad bar, so perfect timing. All served hot and was delicious 😋 Harriet was very attentive making sure we were happy with our food. Had a lovely chat with her and we hope she goes on well with her impending birth of her little girl. Thank you Harriet, you are amazing 👏 enjoy your family time x
Excellent customer service by Perran. Very good to see as very hard to find such great service these days! Food was cooked very well by Danny.
Atmosphere and service was great (server was Gabrielle). Food was great apart from the peppercorn sauce. No flavour to it and I barely used it. The sage and onion chips though, were terrific!
The team are a dedicated caring slightly crazy a lot of people, and that just makes the whole visit a bit more special and the food is always typically excellent Gabrielle Great server and the chef Karl made a great meal
