Bella Mia Wood Fired Pizzas in Derbyshire Dales

I don't usually bother to write reviews, however, we went to get fish & chips, as most of the reviews were outstanding. To say I was dissapointed is an understatement. My fish(£6.50) was almost all batter. Shocking, easily the worst fish & chip meal I have ever had. Should have gone to the chippy up the road, they had a long queue.

Went in about 2pm on a Thursday so it was quiet. Only a small place but had a wonderful, welcoming staff, quick service and the pizza was served fast, got and was delicious.

Popped in for a lunchtime drink, in this very lively and friendly bar. Well worth a try.

The bird café was very cute! We sat in the window and they had stuck feeders onto them so all the birds landed right at our table. There were several bird books on our table to help identify them. The food was very nice, we had sausage sandwiches. The atmosphere was amazing and we really liked the little farm shop and garden centre.

Love coming in here for a pint or a coffee mid mooch around Matlock.
