Biggin Hall Hotel Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely night out at Biggin Hall for a family birthday. Seated in the conservatory area which was very pleasant with a good ambience. Staff friendly and professional and food of good standard. Well worth a visit and will be back !

I was gifted a voucher for a Prosecco afternoon tea at Biggin Hall and went with my daughter. We had an excellent experience. The service and food were first class. I would highly recommend Biggin Hall.

Wonderful conservatory style restaurant. Relaxed evening with excellent food and service. Smoked duck starter and Pheasant breast main were first class. Reasonable prices and pleasant surroundings makes for a memorable night. Definitely worth a visit. Must book in advance.

Highly recommend for evening dinner. Quality of food was excellent, moderately priced and the service was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant is attractive, spacious and surrounded by lovely grounds. A must if you are in this area of Derbyshire.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch here. The food was delicious. We had the chicken supreme roast (very tasty sauce) and all the trimmings and afterwards very yummy Bakewell tart. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing and the staff couldn’t be more helpful or quietly attentive. A really lovely way to spend a Sunday lunch time. We were on our way to the Buxton Opera house to see Evita so didn’t have time to make use of the very warm and inviting library / sitting rooms with an open fire for pre/post drinks. Many thanks to all the team at Biggin Hall. A memorable lunchtime and one to be repeated.

We had a wonderful anniversary meal here. Staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. The service and food were wonderful and the ambience of the restaurant was just lovely. Enjoyed three courses, all of them excellent. A real gem and I would definitely recommend. Value for money and a lovely location. Thank you so much!

There for breakfast and dinner and not forgetting the packed lunch (the latter is available to all residents). All food was very good to excellent. The drinks selection is very good and reasonably priced.

Fabulous food and a lovely setting. The staff are very attentive, not overly and knowledgeable. We are planning to visit again this week.

We came here for afternoon tea back in January, and told ourselves we need to try dinner here sometime. We finally made it last night and it was fantastic! The food was excellent, very well presented and extremely delicious. The cost of our meal was very reasonable too, £37.50 per person for three courses which included bread at the start and complimentary tea or coffee at the end. The service was also very good. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Biggin Hall itself is a lovely location. We sat by a large window from where, although it was dark outside, we had lovely views over the lawn and outdoor seating. We will certainly be back 😀

My last review was entitled "Certainly worth returning to" and we now have, some two years later. Still a very pleasant location from the welcome and the pre-dinner drinks in the lounge through to the delightful dining room and orangery with views across the garden. The dinner was excellent, well cooked and well presented. We once again left saying "Why don't we come here more often?" Certainly we should as it makes for an excellent special meal out.

Used the restaurant for breakfast and dinner during my 3-night stay. The quality of the food is very good and it is nice that the dinner menu changes every night. The only issue I had was the fact that the first 2 nights, it was the same vegetables served with the meals most of which I did not like (red cabbage is not for me). However, asked fro something different on the 3rd night and my needs were met.

Was here for breakfast, packed lunch and dinner x 3. All was very good and had no complaints. Lots of choice so you do not get bored even after 2 days. The drinks are all reasonably priced and good quality. Staff are excellent. Views from the dining room are lovely and lots of seating outside for when the weather is kind.

whent here today for mother's day lunch the food was excellent (beef cooked to perfection)all the staff were friendly and welcoming. the piano playing added to the excellent ambiance .this restaurant is a must

Was given a voucher for my birthday to have afternoon tea for two here at Biggin Hall. What a lovely place! Friendly and polite staff, very clean and comfortable restaurant, and the afternoon tea was really nice. We both felt suitably full afterwards! Would definitely recommend. We will probably return at some point to try dinner here.

Absolutely wonderful stay No need for detail as EVERYTHING was perfect Even a complimentary packed lunch was given for the day An absolute must Heaven

Excellent throughout, room great, drinks great, breakfast great, service great. Nice touch the free welcome drink in the room fridge and the packed lunch. Breakfast staff were lovely

after some misunderstanding about tables on the Saturday evening, the meal was really good. The next 2 nights we had a reserved table and the food was excellent. Red Snapper on one night, and my wife had Guinea fowl twice, it was so good. can recommend the spiced ginger pudding with caramel sauce!

First impressions count and the enjoyment stayed from that moment onwards. A complementary packed lunch was unexpected yet very welcome (they clearly know their audience), glass of Prosecco and a local ale in the fridge were very welcome after a long drive. The food, service and ambiance (including a fantastic pianist) made for a wonderful dining experience. We struggled to fault this wonderful place. Rooms quaint, service impeccable, cleanliness and quality of bathroom. 5 out of 5 for us.

We had a wonderful one night stay, the staff very welcoming. Food delicious. Lots of nice touches such as complimentary after dinner hot drinks, complimentary packed lunch, and more. Lovely walking. Thoroughly recommend.

We were a party of 24 and had pre-booked the conservatory for a get together lunch ( the first since Christmas 2019). We had pre drinks in the lounge and library which was lovely. We had pre -ordered our meals ( from a nice set menu ) with Paris the events lady , who was super organised and had arranged tabs at the bar for each couple so the whole thing was very smooth at the end , to settle up (everyone liked this ) . Food was fabulous , as was the service , couldn't fault it. Adam at the bar was great, served drinks , helped with the food service and the coffees, he was cheery and fun. We sat down at 1pm and didn't leave until nearly 5pm. There was plenty of room to mingle inside and outside so it was a great venue for our get - together. This is the 3rd visit to this venue for such an event and it won't be the last. Everyone had a great time, nice and relaxed , just what we needed. Thank you to Paris and staff , would not hesitate to recommend.

Attractive conservatory restaurant extension. Particularly liked the tasty deserts. The staff were friendly and attentive.

My husband and I are here for our 13 th wedding anniversary .The standards of food service and rooms are amazing.on arrival we were met by Dawn who explained and showed us where everything was which was a lovely touch.we could see she went above and beyond to help . Many thanks to all the staff who were so efficient.if you haven't been here then you must its oldie worldly and so well kept.

The restaurant clearly underwent a refurb over lockdown.It is now much lighter and airier with open views and the rather “up market cafe “ look has thankfully been replaced with something far more modern and in keeping with hotel. Young waiting staff were lovely and efficient. Male on reception charmless. Food disappointing…Brie in starter had not been taken out of fridge early enough and was tasteless, the advertised fig(s) with it was half a small fig. Pear starter had no texture other than soft and a bit mushy. Guinea fowl and sauce acceptable, mashed potato with the fish main was assessed by 2 diners as “odd”. All 4 of us agreed that the wine was good value and reasonably priced selection. Desserts were great…we assumed the pastry chef was a cut above as the panna cotta and cheesecake were delicious and really saved the meal. Lovely setting and certainly wasn’t a disaster but just about acceptable for the surroundings and the price ( though not exorbitant ) and was thus disappointing.

Ate there 5 times now as stayed in the hotel x 2. Had the 3-course dinner, breakfast and packed lunch. Good quality produce and good range of food as the dinner menu changes daily. However, sometimes things were a little on the overcooked side but...

Food was truly awesome. I’ve never eaten food so quick before in my life! For the flavour you’d expect the food to be double the price. Some of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had.

Came this afternoon for afternoon tea to kick off our holiday in the Peak District as we are staying nearby. Super friendly staff, very accommodating and helpful. Delicious afternoon tea and relaxed environment. We will be back before the week is out!

Wonderful food and excellent service in a stunning environment. A gem that's open for lunch and dinner and not too formal despite the lovely surroundings and completely professional staff.

Not the first time we have eaten at Biggin Hall and feinitely not ht elast. Lovely food, great service and that is all that needs saying!

We booked the 'Indulgence menu' as a special treat. Booking was efficient, we requested a non-meat main course and received a menu via email several days before our visit. The whole experience was first class, the staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and effiecient. All of...

Another lovely meal at Biggin hall hotel for my birthday celebrations. As usual the food was fantastic and staff friendly and efficient. Andy and the staff are always on the ball no matter how busy they are.

During our stay at the hotel we had 2 very good meals. The menu was varied but not too extensive and changed daily. The food was well cooked and presented and service was delightful and friendly. the desserts were a special treat.

With some apprehension my wife and I took our first COVID19 hotel break to Biggin Hall. The staff have worked hard to be covid safe without spoiling the experience and personalally I think they've succeeded.I felt very safe during my stay but the precautions though...

Visited in August for a family birthday treat and we were pleased at what we found. Seated in the library, the option was in a greenhouse in the garden, the staff were attentive, gloved and masked and could not have been more polite or helpful. Well done to the management, a well tained and professional staff. The food was good quality, although a little disappointed with the smoked salmon starter which had just one small piece of smoked salmon on the shredded prawns otherwise fine. The wines were at a reasonable price, although when billed the price was £1 more than advertised on the Wine Menu. May need attention to detail as little things like this do leave an impression, even if it was just £1. Certainly, however, a place to revisit for a special meal.

I have eaten two dinners and breakfasts at the hotel restaurant. The food was fantastic and the staff could not be friendlier. We ate in a pop up green house which was added for social distancing, it made for a fun experience. I would highly...

Dined at this restaurant whilst enjoyinhg a break in Biggindale during the COVID crisis. The food was excellant, hot and tasty with a good menu choice. Dinner was really good value for the money. The young staff were friendly, happy and attentive despite wearing a...

Reassuring health/safety brief on arrival, immaculate room preparation, delightful friendly staff all smiling under their regulation masks. Food of the highest standard and amazing value too. We experienced a thoroughly relaxing break.

Great food and excellent service by Georgia. We dined in one of the new Covid secure greenhouses in the grounds. Very dog friendly. Excellent food and exceptionally friendly and efficient service. Thoroughly recommend

Visited tonight for my husbands birthday .the meal was first class.steak was so succulent.the staff did a stirling job all guidlines were followed to the letter to make us feel safe.what amazing young staff polite professional and altogether lovely thank you all .hope to see you soon xxx

Could not fault anything! One of our group of nine ladies had pre booked this cream tea for us. We were shown into a lovely welcoming room with a log fire burning, there were comfy settees either side of the fire place, a long low coffee table and comfy armchairs around the table. The waitress was a lovely young woman who took our complicated drinks order, hot chocolate, filter coffees, traditional tea and even a herb tea. Then came the food! A freshly baked Victoria sandwich and scones made that morning, home made Bakewell tart, delicious moist chocolate brownies and the best buttery shortbread. And the cost? £5 per head! Unbeatable!

Mid January and the world is wet, cold and miserable. A night away at Biggin Hall was just what we needed. The evening meal was excellent - fillet steak cooked to perfection! The rooms are also excellent in "country house" fashion. We like real ale so a quick trip next door to the Waterloo Inn then back for dinner and excellent wine. Slept well! Then breakfast - wow what a spread and all top quality. Plus a packed lunch to take away!Worth every penny - treat yourself!

home away from home, lovely staff and food perfect in every way, comfortable beds and pet friendly ticks all boxes

We were part of a group of friends who met for a University Reunion weekend. The location is very pretty and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. We had a courtyard room which was separate from the main building. The weather was quite wet when we stayed so coats and umbrellas/hats were needed to visit the main building.The hotel is quite small, but the style is very charming. There was a big log fire in the main public room, which was adjoined by a reading room. Our evening meal was to a high standard. Bearing in mind that they were catering for more than 30 of us, the staff did a fantastic job of ensuring the food was served virtually simultaneously for us all. I had the prawn and crab starter, followed by the lamb. For dessert I had the sticky toffy pudding. Wine was reasonably priced and good quality. We rounded off the evening with coffee and drinks.We had a very pleasant surprise as we were paying the bill. To aid us on our way and make sure we were fed on our journey, we were invited to help ourselves to sandwiches and drinks to take with us as a packed lunch. This really came in handy.I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet break in a beautiful part of the country, which offers much in the way of walking and cycling. Chatsworth House is not too far away (about 12 miles). Parking is available at the hotel.

This was a Xmas present treat from our friends Becky,Dave and there daughter Ruby,we booked in for 15:30pm for afternoon tea. When we arrived we were a bit early so we went for a walk when we got back to the hall we went inside the reception area,lovely inglnook fire place.We were then shon to our table and the waitress came for or order,we had parsnip soup and vegetable soup followed by three types of sandwich and various cakes,and a proper tea pot which was topped up for free.overall a lovely way to spend an afternoon and we are now thinking about meeting our friends there for dinner.

A 2 night stay, dinner both nights was excellent with good choices, friendly service, lovely sitting room for pre-dinner drinks and a nice bedroom (although we looked at others available and would recommend rooms not in main hall for extra space. All ensuites are recently modernised and very good). Lovely gardens and quiet location. Ideal for walkers.

Again another brilliant stay. Stayed at Biggin Hall Hotel on Sunday 1 September 2019 and it was fabulous. We booked the Dinner, Bed and Breakfast package. The moment we arrived we were greeted by Lizzie the receptionist. Advised that our three (3) rooms were ready. The rooms we were allocated were all immaculate. We had a room for my elderly parents who cannot manage stairs so they had a room on the ground floor which is outside the main hotel but was wonderful and large. The room had a large king bed and a beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower as well as a bath. One (1) of the other rooms was in the main hotel which was lovely with an immaculate bathroom with a separate shower, as well as a bath. Each room included a small bottle of Prosecco and a local beer (lovely touch) as well as tea and coffee and biscuits. The three (3) course meal was amazing. All meals cooked to perfection. The fillet steak melted in your mouth. The chicken was succulent and the pork was lovely and tender. The other dishes included salmon and a vegetarian dish which were all fantastic. All the waitresses were so attentive and looked after us to an amazing standard. After our evening meal we sat in the guest lounge where tea and coffee was available. The beds are very comfortable with lovely crisp sheets. The breakfast was also exceptional. The breakfast included juices, cereals, toast, croissants, fresh fruit and yogurts. A full Buffett breakfast was also available and was freshly cooked. There was also a Vegetarian option available as well. All morning waitresses were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful. After breakfast advised by a lovely waitress that included in our package was a packed lunch including freshly made sandwiches, bottle of water, fruit, biscuits and a packet of crisps. Absolutely brilliant. Biggin Hall Hotel is a fabulous place to stay. The food is amazing, the service is brilliant all the staff are just wonderful. We will definitely be back. Well done to Annie and James and to all your amazing staff. Keep up the great hospitality that you provide. Best Wishes to you all.

Our room, no. 19, had low ceilings, for someone in excess of 6ft tall it wasn't great, only staying for 1 night so not a huge issue, however it would have been good to know beforehand about the reduced heights.The window opens out onto the roof and the kitchen extractor which was clearly not attractive and very noisy even when closed, this was not mentioned on booking also, we think we may of been put in this room as the hotel was full and this may of been the last room, if we'd of known about these issues we probably wouldnt of stayed here.

Had a loverly afternoon tea for seven family members and was really nice. The food was fresh, lots of choice and the service from Rachel was wonderful, very attentive. One member of the party was vegetarian and has a dairy intolerance which is hard at times to eat out but I called in advance and they could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble on the day to ensure all was suitable and everyone in the party could enjoy the food, even made more sandwiches for the men who were very hungry!All in all a great birthday afternoon tea out and thanks for going out of your way to accommodate the dietary requirements , really appreciated and would definitely return again as a beautiful place in a lovely setting with great food .

We revisited this lovely Hotel for lunch, and although not as busy as we remembered, the staff were very welcoming, with very attentive service. The choice of menu was still as good as before, but all the dishes are now priced individually, and there was no set price lunch menu. However, the well cooked, well presented food was as good as we recall and the presentation was excellent, with good sized portions. It is still very good value for money in a beautiful place with lovely peaceful grounds. I would definitely recommend Biggin Hall Hotel for lunch.

Couldn’t fault the place at all. Meal was excellent service was very good and all staff very friendly and helpful. Location is lovely. No mobile service which is a good thing. Will go again.

When I'm paying £25--£35 for a lunch I expect a certain standard......I don't want things like hot pot or such concoctions.

This country hotel, situated in a small village in the western fringe of the Peak District, attracts a large number of dining and residential guests, even in the most inclement of weather. There is a sensible amount of variety on the menu (including fish and vegetarian options), the portions are adequate and the prices are very reasonable. Even better value if you stay overnight, as the breakfasts are large and wholesome (including porridge made to order) and a packed lunch is also provided.

As residents the three course meal was included, with only one main course carrying a supplement. We bothchose lamb for the main course and it was very tender. Nice selection of veg though could be more generous with their portions of veg. They are so helpful though I suspect you could ask for more without a surcharge. My pannacotta dessert was beautiful and tasty, and not smothered with sauce as is so often the case. There are some very pleasant wines on offer at a reasonable price it is nice to have coffee included whilst relaxing in the pretty lounges, and the crackling wood fire on a rainy and chilly May evening was a treat.

Fantastic food served up with a great selection of fine wines and a great view across the well maintained gardens.

Took my 94year old Mum here for Sunday lunch today - excellent . Lovely old building with nice ambience and views ,very good friendly service, an excellent pint of draught Pedigree at £3.60, lovely 2 course meal and excellent value at £18 .Don’t know why the place hasn’t got 5 stars .Will definitely be back Thank you

We have been here several times. Yes when we had the dogs, because they are permitted to stay in the outside rooms and we now stay in the house. The food is very good and excellent value. Put yourself down on their mailing list and you will get the offers.

After having a lovely lunch in the summer, we decided to have our friends 60 th birthday meal in this atmospheric historical hall. We dressed for a Christmas celebration and the reception was warm with a large open fire and twinkling lights on the Christmas tree. It was a real shame that the warmth didn’t extend to the waitress. There was no meet and greet and the menu was thrust upon us. We were made to feel that we were an inconvenience. Brushing her attitude to one side , we were out to have an enjoyable evening, we had an aperitif, ordered our meal, and waited to be shown through to the Dining room where we could hear other guests dining.

We dined two nights as part of a dinner, bed and breakfast package whilst staying at the hotel. Both nights we had a pre dinner drink in the library whilst perusing the menu and selecting our wine. Moving through to the restaurant, each night all three courses were very tasty and good portions. The menu each night was varied with lots of different options. The after dinner coffee and mints in the library are a nice touch. It is a wonderful experience dining in the 17th century Biggin Hall and we hope to be back soon!

Set in the tiny village of Biggin in the Peak District, this beautiful hotel was a real find. A restored historic building with big open fireplace in the cozy lounge, fabulous service throughout our stay. Friendly greeting on arrival. Lots of little details that just made the stay feel very English! (Afternoon tea, complimentary packed lunches, after dinner coffee served in the lounge, etc..). Food was delicious!

If you like delicious food but not a Master Chef standard this is for you. It was good value for money and we all enjoyed the meal.

We have just spent a most enjoyable weekend in this most idyllic place. The welcome we received was so warm and friendly. We were made to feel completely at home. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the food was to die for. We were totally spoilt and will definitely be back. Both ourselves and our dogs had the most wonderful time.

We stayed over night and decided to eat in the hotel too. So glad we did! Food was immaculately presented and tasted heavenly. Fine dining with a lovely relaxed intimate atmosphere. Dinner service was almost too fast (we were giving all 3 courses within an hour) however we could relax in the sitting room with coffee after this. Would most definitely come again. Well worth a visit!

Limited choice afternoon menu however food was good the only gripe about this place is the staff. To be blunt we felt as if we were a inconvenience to them for being there. Would definitely never return

This is first class fayre at very reasonable prices. The hotel is a touch old fashioned, but can't fault the food.

Stayed in the hotel and had breakfast and dinner three times and the food and service was consistently good. We were in a large group of 22 and preordered dinner. There was always a very tasty selection of the three courses and also cheese board and the service was good. Best Bakewell tart ..yum yum

Amazing welcome, beautiful hotel and rooms. Meal in the restaurant was excellent value for money. 4 course meal for £25 and every course was delicious. Location is breath taking and ideal for cyclist as right on the Tissington trail. Breakfast all you can eat buffet, again delicious. Beds really comfortable and clean.

Stayed at Biggin Hall 3 nights while visiting the Dales. Very nice location and buildings. Adequate parking and staff on the whole are friendly and helpful.

Stay here every year to celebrate my November Birthday. Lovely rooms with very comfortable beds. Excellent breakfasts and imaginative evening meals. Have made friends whilst visiting and return with them too. Have also visited for afternoon tea during summer months.

The price has gone up considerably. I was served an undercooked pork steak with almost raw vegetables - not the place I remember.

We stayed here with 14 other people in our party.

Birthday afternoon tea. Surroundings beautiful . Waitresses attentive.

We had lunch, Expecting a fabulous meal, it was to our great disappointment that the price for the food had drastically increased by 40% or so, but it was no more better than it had been when price for lunch was 40% less a year or so earlier. The portions were small, particularly the main course fish. Vegetables were unimaginative with everyday cauli, carrots and broccoli being the only veg available. All of our party were of the opinion for the average food which we had the menu was very overpriced.

When checking in we were offered dinner at a discounted residents rate of £25 for three courses plus complimentary cheese and biscuits and coffee. Which was good value for money.

Five of us visited the restaurant for dinner. It was very busy but the friendly efficient service was evident from the word go. The dinner menu @ £27.50 is excellent value consisting of a starter, main, pudding, cheese, coffee & mints. I chose asparagus tips with shavings of Parmesan and a poached egg, my friends chose the parma ham & figs and there was also tomato soup or mackerel, all delicious; my main was slow braised beef which came with a quenelle of mashed potato, 2 roast potatoes and baby carrots plus a dish of veg, the sauce was delicious, the meat meltingly tender, my friends had confit of duck and trout was the 3rd option; pudding was warm croissant & white chocolate pudding served with a tart fruit coulis and raspberry ripple ice cream, truly scrummy, other choices were pannacotta with coulis or chocolate brownie. You can help yourself to cubes of assorted cheeses, chutneys, grapes and biscuits and then take coffee, tea & chocolate mints sat in their comfortable armchairs in the two lounges, one of which had a lovely open fire. The hotel is very popular sited as it is in a pretty little Peak District village, they have 40 rooms and can seat 50 in the dining room. My 4th visit and we shall definitely return.

We visited for Sunday lunch to celebrate a friends birthday. This is the most beautiful place, absolutely idyllic. The staff were attentive but not intrusive.

This really is a special place. The building is full of history and the team are friendly and attentive. The menu is varied and the food is delicious. It was a sunny day and after the meal we had coffee in the garden and this was delightful.

Called in for a anniversary treat for high tea on the lawn. Made to feel special and sandwiches and cakes lovely. Shared leftovers with free roaming chickens!

Lovely warm welcome from all staff, private room for 16 of us to have pre-lunch drinks. Lunch was really good, we had pre-ordered as we were a large party and all the food, all three courses was ready at the right times and was served efficiently, all of the party were enthusing afterwards about their chosen dishes.

A very good venue for dinner. There were 9 of us and the restaurant was full.

Spent another very enjoyable evening here. Food was excellent, unbelievable high quality for the price. Staff were very polite and attentive, and it has a lovely relaxed an informal atmosphere. Would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful Biggin Hall is located less than a mile off the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road. The interior is delightfully traditional/period with several sitting rooms, one with an open fire in addition to the dining room itself. The evening menu is a fixed price three...

This was our second time visiting, for a walking weekend in the Peaks between Christmas and New Year. The room was warm and large, with lovely views over the snowy fields, and the complimentary Prosecco and Beer was a nice touch. Dinner was excellent - imaginative menu with everything cooked perfectly. Excellent atmosphere with the fires roaring during drinks before dinner. Staff always friendly and helpful. This hotel always feel unique and quirky - somewhere you remember and want to return to, as it is excellently located for walking.

Lovely surroundings in beautiful old hall. Lots to chose from the menu for gluten free. No hassle, just a lovely relaxed evening.
