Newzealand Pub - Derby

Really nice pub. Couldn't believe how clean it was! Great bar stuff and delicious cocktails. Highly recommend if you're in the area

Having lived in the Caribbean for over 30 years what suprise to get a great mutton Jamaican curry on my doorstep. Can't wait to try the Ackee and salt fish.

Having lived in the Cayman Islands many years ago, imagine our surprise when our local pub was reopened by Dwight and his team offering genuine Caribbean food! At first we tried a takeaway, chicken curry with rice and peas. Absolutely delicious and an authentic recipe! Four of us went last night and received a very warm welcome from Dwight and his staff. Jerk chicken, chicken curry and goat curry were served and heartily consumed along with the usual accompaniments, rice and peas, coleslaw, steamed veg and plantains. Absolutely fabulous!! My mate said it was the best goat curry that he’d eaten in this country!! All washed down with draught Red Stripe!! The food portions were generous and the prices were very good and provided value for money!! The pub was clean and tidy and the atmosphere was buzzing, the latter aided by a DJ serving up a menu of reggae, ska, soca etc. Banging!! We will be returning on a regular basis!! Well done Dwight and team!!

I travelled to the New Zealand Arms with family from Walsall. It was a quiet Sunday, an ideal place for Lunch and a Beer. We all enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great.

As a group of friends, we gather once or twice a year for an Ale Trail in Derby, visiting six pubs with one designated for a food stop. Derby is known for its many real ale houses, but on this occasion, the New Zealand Arms restaurant disappointed us. The food portion was lacking for our group of 20 people, and the selection and quality of beer were underwhelming. This pub used to have a good reputation for both food and ale, but it seems to have declined lately. If they want to compete with other nearby establishments, they will need to improve their standards. The staff tried their best, but appeared to be unprepared in my opinion.
