Derby Leisure and Events: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Decent venue
Fantastic experience: First time attending an event here. It has two free medium sized car parks on the left side as you come onto the site. Be aware that there are several rooms and halls on this site and you may have to walk around the buildings to get to your venue. There is free fast wifi 90mbps up/down.
Fantastic experience: Lovely venue. Friendly, attentive staff. Lunch spread could have done with a little more. Sausage rolls were fantastic though, never change them. Definitely a great place for corporate events. I would have liked to have seen some fruit juice / cordial to drink alongside the tea and coffee on offer.
Positive experience: Not too bad. Decent size parking lot.
Fantastic experience: Great place friendly staff
Fantastic experience: First time visit with my Rolls-Royce colleagues, was very impressed with the clean modern clubhouse. Nice lunch menu @ a good price. Didn't drink but a large bar with a good selection. Will visit more often now.
Fantastic experience: It was good under the circumstances. We went for a funeral wake.
Positive experience: Been at the 100 years of Rolls Royce celebration today. Disco, bar, hot food, quests, games free photo booth! Artisan makers/bakers in the other side, separate hall. Got busier once people knew we were all in there!! A great venue for a party/reception.
Positive experience: Guy in green shirt is rude to kids that jst want to play football
Fantastic experience: Thank you to the team at Rolls Royce Leisure Centre. I hired the Nightingale Hall for a large family event. Sarah took care of every single detail to ensure we had the best day possible. On the day Jenna made sure we had everything we needed and ran the bar with friendly efficiency making sure no one waited for drinks. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough if you’re looking to put on any kind of event. Thank you once again.
Hi Carla, thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. We really appreciate it! We are so glad you had a great time. Please do let us know if you ever need anything else. :)
Positive experience: Not as good as it used to be, e.g. the burger patties ground beef, now they seem to be some kind of meaty dough. At least the burgers I would explicitly not recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great place and you can charge an EV for 48p kwh.
Thank you for your review! Be sure to visit us again soon. :)
Positive experience: Went to a mind body and spirit event with white light events and loved it..please do it again soon!!
Thank you for your review! I am sure that we will be hosting this again. Thank you so much for your kind words. :)
Fantastic experience: Great venue for a wedding or party
Positive experience: It was ok the drinks were expensive really, it cost £20 for a bottle of £8 prosecco but then again it kept her indoors happy
Fantastic experience: Sarah and her team were amazing, from start to finish! We booked the big room as we had quite a few guests coming for our wedding reception, the room looked amazing, with all the tables set up, and as it’s coming up to Christmas, the decorations made it even better! Briddie was amazing too, very professional
Fantastic experience: Great venue. Fabulous music. First time and had a wonderful time
Positive experience: I've always known this place as rolls royce leisure. Wouldn't recognise it as anything else as it loses its status..
Fantastic experience: Great venue and entertainment is great.
Positive experience: Good venue apart from not accepting cash
Fantastic experience: Sarah is the most helpful and patient person I have met in a long time. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend The Pavilion for any function that you might want to hold. Thank you Sarah
Negative experience: Looking tired, noisy AC units, uncomfortable seats, slow/temperamental coffee machines and poor acoustics
Fantastic experience: Small local church .and also has nursery for young children .with excellent staff many events taken place with friendly staff access ramp to access to church. For services.
Positive experience: Nice place, need speedier staff, overwhelmed when got abit busy. Note- only takes card payment no cash.
Fantastic experience: Great place to socialize
Fantastic experience: Excellent food, at a very reasonable price. First visit since retiring in 2007 and even longer for the other people who joined me for lunch. Venue was very clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Pleased to see that many people used the facility at lunchtime. Delighted to see that the chip and cheese butty is still on the menu! Brought back many fond memories of our time at Rolls-Royce. Final comment: the ham, double eggs, chips and salad I had was, probably, one of the best I've ever had - and I've had plenty! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: A fanastic place for any event or just a quiet drink
Positive experience: Didn't visit at all.
Fantastic experience: Nice venew, lovely atmosphere, great food!
Positive experience: Looks nice, could update the decoration. But cool place. Parking area is smaller than you would think
Negative experience: No atmosphere. No disco. Price paid did not equal entertainment received.
Hi Christopher Thanks for taking the time to review and feedback, we're always pleased to get feedback. Really disappointed that you chose to only give us 1 star, this seems a extremely harsh as we try our best to put on value for money events, following the pandemic people are still reluctant to venture out even for a great tribute. Our industry has been decimated by the pandemic and now the cost of living problems, we are struggling to keep all of our costs and prices in check, inevitably though, our prices will need to rise to keep up with the crazy inflation we are seeing. Hopefully, you will still support all your local businesses during this difficult financial turmoil. Thanks again for your feedback.
Positive experience: Very expensive drinks
Positive experience: Went for an evening dancing. All great but for one thing. With the music playing the bar staff couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear them. Thick glass between customer and bar staff is not necessary now and slowed everyone down as we all had to shout our orders!!!
Negative experience: Went to Rolls social for a wedding anniversary,they wouldnt except cash as legal tender for drinks,manager wouldnt give me her full name for making a complaint,,,ill NEVER go there again
Fantastic experience: Brilliant salsa and kizomba night. Lovely venue xx
Fantastic experience: Superb hall, super arrangement, nice service, the only thing to bother is you should rehearse for your AV clips and music testing beforehand as its a very complex mesh of wires.
Positive experience: Quiet, no waiting, food OK
Fantastic experience: Lovely venue. Friendly staff. Lots of free parking. I was there for a mind, body, spirit event offering: life coaching, reiki, heart repair and selling gems and rose quarts healing tools and charm necklaces. Message me if you are interested in hearing more.
Fantastic experience: Great venue although car park could do with extending. Thoroughly enjoyed the Mind body spirit event.
Positive experience: Ok decent food plenty of room
Derek, thanks for your review, we appreciate all feedback. We pride ourselves on our service and would appreciate it if you could tell us why we only achieved 3 stars for you, this is below our normal level of service. Thanks in advance.
Fantastic experience: Great venue for quiz night. Good selection of beer and we had hot buffet. Large rooms, small rooms and the main bar.
Fantastic experience: A good venue for that special occasion, ample parking space.
Fantastic experience: Went here for my Uncle-in-law's wedding. The food here was amazing. Three courses tasted great and it was a good sized portion.
Positive experience: Nice place , big dance floor , sounds are good , a little over the top with covid though.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, cannot fault the venue
Positive experience: The performance by C Cranston was very good the only thing was that you were expected do drink out of plastic glasses which put a damper on the night So for that fact I or any of our party will be returning to your venue And I will certainly not recommend your club M elliott
Positive experience: Wonderful night of rock and roll
Fantastic experience: Really good evening at at the soul night
Positive experience: Brilliant, I went for covid test
Negative experience: Gone to the dogs. A fantastic badminton facility for many years, until given to Rolls-Royce Leisure to mismanage. Sports - and Rolls-Royce Sports Sections in particular - are at the bottom of the priority list now, in favour of occasional music nights and conferences in the welfare to bring the cash in. The sportshall is slightly dated but excellent for badminton, though the times of the day in which it is open are reducing constantly. I think its days are numbered. So much potential. Like a Ferrari being driven by Mr Bean.
Positive experience: Was quite a good Christmas party night and I enjoyed the music. Disappointed that music and the disco finished early due to idiots fighting and we had to go home about an hour before we should of.
Negative experience: Very disappointed wont be going again !not organised properly not only did we que 20 minutes for a drink to be told card payments only and the back room felt like a mortuary for saying it was xmas soul nite not a bauble or tinsel in sight
Fantastic experience: Went for a drive through (not a McDonald's) Covid PCR test in the car park. Really well organised with clear instructions
Positive experience: Good food in the cafe and polite staff
Fantastic experience: Lovely venue for a wedding and fabulous and polite staff!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic
Positive experience: Heads up it started out agood night then the fire alarm had gone off round 12.30 so we ended up out side . We all waited outside but l decided to go home round 12.45 so the night didn't end well .l recon we should get a refund to be fair
Positive experience: Nice atmosphere good quality furnishings
Positive experience: I enjoyed my couple of hours at the shooting range.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place
Positive experience: Ok
Negative experience: Worst venue I have been to the organisation for gold soul was disgusting 90 minutes in the cold waiting to get in and when you did half an hour for a drink will not be going there anymore
Fantastic experience: What a great place to have your wedding or any party
Fantastic experience: Excellent venue for getting smashed at 1 in the afternoon
Fantastic experience: Excellent football pitch
Positive experience: It's really good.. Best place to play badminton and soccer
Fantastic experience: We have been members for years as my husband worked there, we haven't been for a while now as moved home,but we had seen some good shows there including Christmas bands playing,will be coming back shortly if it's open to the public's
Fantastic experience: Fantastic football pitches
Positive experience: Only played tennis here, so can only comment on the facilities we used, booked over the phone due to covid lady i spoke to was very good , but was interrupted whilst playing by a groundsman who said we shudnt be playing on court One unless we was members , going on about a purple wrist band , but wasn't told this when pre booked.
Thanks for your reply Mick, we always appreciate feedback, there are no sperate courts for members. I am struggling to find your booking, can you please let me know when it was and if you are indeed a Tennis club member, as you must display a coloured band to prove membership. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: Lovely place
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: I use the football courts say and they're up a decent standard
Negative experience: Not very organised because there wasn't a sign to say what was going on but very helpful staff when we finally got there it would have been helpful if there had been a sign on the wall.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place. Might be slightly bias being a RR worker, however, The Pavillion is a top venue. Cannot recommend this place high enough.
Fantastic experience: Tennis club is great value and lovely facility
Fantastic experience: A wedding reception. Very nice place to hold it.
Fantastic experience: We had our wedding ceremony and wedding reception here, Terry was brilliant he over saw everything and made sure that everything went smoothly. We had a fantastic day, the food was outstanding we had the cream tea it was delicious and so filling. We did our own decorating, Terry bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we wanted and needed. I would highly recommend Rolls-Royce for any celebration.

Fantastic experience: Went to the Soul Night last Friday 13th, great night and what made this special was the introduction of a 90's Noughties disco on an adjacent ballroom. Excellent DJ's, great dancing music, brilliant!!

Fantastic experience: My son and now daughter in law Ian and Kelly Fletcher got married here on Saturday. I have to say everything about the day was lovely. The venue was set up to a very high standard. The food was very nice. We had afternoon tea in the afternoon and a hot meat cobs + fries in the evening. A lot of guest said it was lovely and made a nice change. We were very fortunate with the weather which the guests and children were able to take advantage of and be outside in the pleasant surroundings. There is a decent size dance floor also. A big Thankyou to the staff who worked hard and made this day successful and memorable. I can highly recommend this venue for celebrating similar occasions.
Fantastic experience: Excellent venue as expected being Rolls Royce highly recommend
