Hilcote Country Club Restaurant in Bolsover

Lovely Sunday roast, excellent choice of food. The roast dinners were very fresh and plentiful, the staff were friendly and attentive. All round value for money.

As ever, great food, great ale, great staff and great company.

This is my favourite local...Great place to relax and dine, kids menu included, A great selection of beers and wines. Sunday meals excellent, also excellent meals during the week, Every Thursday there's a General Auction from 6pm to 8pm...well worth a visit. Very friendly staff and very welcoming atmosphere, highly recommended...

Held our wedding reception at the Willow Tree Bistro within the Hilcote country club and it was a truly magical day. Dan and his team made us feel so special and their attentiveness was amazing. Even though we didn’t have use of the main bar as it had been hired out by the other party there was never a queue at the bar even though we had many thirsty drinkers at our reception. There were always at least 2 or 3 bar staff who did an efficient and friendly service. The selection of drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic was great. On arrival our guests were met with a lovely display of drinks and we were glad to have added this to the package. There was even orange juice which we hadn’t paid for which Dan had provided. The food tasted every bit as gorgeous as it looked and was cleared by our guests. The children had been given a tasty selection of chips and nuggets which they enjoyed too. On the whole our day was perfect. The room is beautiful and the grounds set the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. We chose this venue after looking at many more which were much more expensive but nowhere near as beautiful. If we could give this 11 out of 10 we would!!! Thank you so much Dan and your amazing team. You will forever be part of our wedding day memories!!!

Invitation as a guest to a wedding. Brilliant food and bar staff fast and on the ball all night. Great night

We went to a wedding reception here. The buffet food was good and the drinks were reasonably priced. There was even a few cocktails to choose from

Sunday lunch was amazing credit to the chefs the staff were so lovely and friendly beautiful and relaxing dinning area was recommended to us and we wasn't disappointed will definitely be back

Went for Sunday lunch can honestly say best one I’ve ever eaten out absolutely 10 out 10 and very good value this is a must try for anyone wanting a beautiful dinner excellent service and a lovely dining area

Amazing location and outlet for our daughters 21st birthday celebrations The afternoon tea was as fabulous as ever. Very fresh and tasty! Chips are amazing! Staff friendly and accommodating as ever Would definitely recommend this venue Thanks again

Great setting .Very friendly service and tasty value food .

What a great find on a weekday lunchtime! Good hearty food at reasonable prices, enjoyed in a beautiful environment. The staff were really friendly and genuinely cared that everything was to our liking. Highly recommended.

on Saturday we held our wedding reception at the Hilcote Country Club. the venue and grounds are amazing with plenty of parking. we were greeted on our arrival by Danny (the owner) with drinks for myself and my wife. from then all the way through until we left he made himself available for our every need, often doing things or reminding us of things we needed to do ourselves. we cant thank everybody at Hilcote enough for everything they did for us and have said if/when we decide to do something big involving a party in the future, the Hilcote will definitely be the place we hold it.

Very nice Sunday roast ,Danny and his team very attentive and friendly 👌

A great night lovely and service

Held our wedding reception here it was fantastic from start to finish food and everything they did for us was amazing and Danny the manager was fantastic through all stages of arranging this including on the day looking after us all day so many compliments from our guests on the food / venue and staff Thank you

Just had a lovely afternoon tea for four, my daughter also took her two children who were not part of the meal deal. The Manageress Amanda who served us was very charming and accommodated the children with entertainment and went up and beyond in providing exceptional service. This was an excellent venue and quality delicious food and we will definitely coming back. Only 10 mins from the designer outlet M1 J28.

From start to finish the service was exceptional. We went for afternoon tea as a family which included a 4 year old and an 8 month old. The staff were very attentive and made us feel really special including making a special sandwich for my son with whatever filling he wanted, colouring in to do and also giving him free ice cream at the end. Our baby was made a fuss of too and we felt so relaxed and welcome. The afternoon tea was HUGE and it was all homemade and delicious. Having had lots of afternoon teas in various restaurants and hotels and this has to be the most generous and tasted the best. We took lots home too. We will definitely be back. Thank you :)

Nothing special as they make out it is certainly not a country club more like a redneck trailer park in USA overrated

Fabulous place good food nice beer

Attended a function here in April. Lovely venue, great food and most of all, great staff. Good selection of drink at the bar and the main bar is quite a spectacle.

What a nice place, food was really good. Staff friendly and polite. Will be going again.

Came here a few weeks ago for breakfast with my family and I must say the food was absolutely delicious. My partner thought the sausage that came with the full English was super tasty. Everything locally bought. The staff were also lovely, accommodating and really polite. Will be back again 😊

Went for mothers Day. It was an amazing, lovely day

Drinks lovely incl cocktail, tea, coffee, beer & prosecco. Service excellent. Sandwiches good, cake not so good.

Really nice food good quality, and staff, newly refurbished. Dog friendly even do dog meals but plenty of space to be away from dogs if you prefer. Nice grounds we had Mothers day breakfast excellent, except please cook the toast more , lovely bread. Had Sunday roast brilliant good quality meat and loads of veg and roasites

Food was great. Plenty of it and well presented. Service was also really good. Would recommend hilcote country club and I've already rebooked to visit again.

Well worth a visit…excellent customer service…great value for money…food was 10 out 10 and an added bonus it's dog friendly 🐾

booked the hilcote for a birthday party, from start to finish the staff were so nice and helpful! danny the manager has good communication throughout, and always there to help. pauly the chef came to the rescue, when the birthday cake took a tumble. the lady (sorry didn’t catch her name) was really helpful with setting up, and showing me around! and letting everyone go in to set up whenever. when i had a last minute cancellation from my dj, danny was quick on the phone to their resident dj as a back up! the bar staff were all so lovely and very patient, and lots of options at the bar thank you guys and would defintely recommend for anyone considering booking the hilcote for parties xx

We stayed over in the Aire (x 2), had access to facilities of the club house for most of the night until closing time around midnight. There are 2 pitches for overnighting with EHU’s away from the main building but adjacent to a really old and large couple of Oak tree which gave a good shade and the view to the east was spectacular as the Sunset. We didn’t eat but did a couple of drinks on their large and well laidout patio area. Only a short drive from the M1 passing by a really large shopping and Industrial complex so you can stock up with stuff and have coffee & such before arriving ! Very pleasant and helpful staff and they also have a Bistro but not as aware of its opening times…, its a good halfway stop over for us travelling up from the south coast near Southampton

Attended a wedding reception here, it's small but nice. Beer was reasonably priced but didn't eat any food so can't comment on that.

Lovely bright beamed building and surrounding area. Absolutely beautiful cream tea well worth the money. Home baked Scones served warm honestly THE BEST CREAM TEA ever. served by a lovely lady Amanda who honestly couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you for the lovely warm welcome and making the day special. We shall return

First time visit to Hilcote Country Club today 7th Feb 24 @ 1pm for afternoon cream tea. I have to honestly say what terrific value SIMPLY THE BEST afternoon tea i and my wife have had. Lots of it and home made scones full size, cheese and pickle, roast beef and salad, ham and tomato, and egg mayonnaise sandwiches along with sausage roll salad and coleslaw. Fantastic choice of cakes highly delighted with the warm welcome from Amanda and for taking care of us. Stunning place light and airy with lovely beamed ceiling. I will definitely return and would definitely recommend you’ll not be disappointed

Fantastic place. Dan and his team always make us feel very welcome. . The Sunday lunch are outstanding

Fabulous new years eve party. Throughly enjoyed the entertainment... Happy new. Year ... Hic

Late booking for 8 people,no problem for room

Had a really good time at a Christmas meal here- great price for excellent food. Will definitely be going back for the regular food with partner for a treat

This venue was very noisy. Lots of surfaces that echo sound therefore conversation for our party was limited. There was also music playing which added to the hubbub. Food was good and hot and the attention from our host was unquestionable.

We go here to an auction that sells a whole array of different items. It's got a great atmosphere.

10 of my family went December 1st for xmas dinner and disco The service wasnot good there must have been around 70 people for 1 sitting which is fine but we ordered all food before we went so they had a idea what food on which table But my sister had turkey dinner i had pork loin but she had nearly eaten hers before i had got mine surely you would serve table to table not all turkey dinners first and so it went on They hadnot got enough staff on for that The xmas pudding wasnot great either it was chewy on the edges When the coffee was served no cream but tea was served with milk so had to wait for cream coffee was lukewarm when it arrived but good points was the disco

AMAZING afternoon tea. Atmosphere lovely. All decorated beautuful. Staff soo polite and attentive. And food so yummy and soo much choice. Def def coming bk xx

I had the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had, the food was beautifully fresh, finder sandwiches with a good selection of fillings and salad garnish, sausage rolls, beautiful little fresh cakes then the most amazing warm scones with jam and clotted cream with as much tea as we could drink. The staff couldn’t do enough for us - we’ll definitely be back for me - thank you

Horrible, horrible food. Steak that you could pick up at one end and it didn’t bend. Chips so overcooked and greasy they were like little bags of pus. Salad that appeared to have been scraped off the floor and thrown at a plate. Wait staff were fine, but the duty manager was argumentative, then aggressive, then abusive. I would rather cut my own foot off and eat that than go here again.

What a lovely place, we went today to celebrate my mums 80th birthday and wasn’t disappointed the food was lovely! Not many in so this affected the atmosphere score but still great

Love the Bistro, favourite meal being the Dirty melt. Outstanding friendly serving staff

Our friends have there birthday party there every year. They book bands and artists for the whole wknd. Brilliant and the Guinness was spot on too

Fantastic Breakfast at the Willow Tree (Hilcote Country Club) midweek

Fantastic Breakfast Excellent menu choices vegan and vegetarian catered for. Great coffee and reasonably priced

Enjoyed the best afternoon tea here that I have ever had! The quality of the food and the presentation was superb. Great choice of fillings in the sandwiches, tasty cakes, sausage rolls, salad garnish and not forgetting the scones with jam and cream which were served separately on a wooden board. All washed down with prosecco (a small bottle each) and as much tea as we could drink! The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was perfect. The staff were most welcoming and attentive throughout, all adding to a very pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended!

Service at the bar was brilliant, fast with good banter. The gents toilet in the bar was a mixture of looking refurbished and broken, the sink tap was not over the sink and had no pressure. The venue was great, the room had good sound, I was there for Warrens dirty thirty, two days of great music. The pizza I ordered in the evening was not worth the money, it appeared to be a microwave pizza and was horrible yo taste. The cafe on the Sunday was lovely and they did a great cuppa tea. Overall, I would recommend the Hilcote Country Club as a music venue with plenty campervan and tent camping space.

Amazing place, amazing venue, amazing food and staff can not wait to keep attending charity festivals here!

Local to us so we pop in frequently at weekends.

Great food but limited choice for non meat eaters, don't recommend the meat free burger but everything else is good although they can be a little short on staff some days

We came for a Sunday dinner last weekend and it was delicious. The two guys running the place were lovely, Polite and attentive. All three courses were very tasty. Would definitely recommend and will be returning soon.

Stayed overnight in motorhome after ringing ahead to check. Very friendly staff. Charged £5 for the night to use the aire. However the waste bins were overflowing and the elsan blocked so unusable. We did fill with fresh drinking water and had a relatively quiet night even though so close to the M1. Have stayed before and would again but hope the manager Paulie manages to sort out the elsan.

Love the Willow Cafe. It's just another great addition to The Hilcote country club.

A review of two half’s ! Nice place, decent food and great staff , as a one of event venue it’s fab, However not a place to stay over or camp . Attended a music event with “camping “ your choice is to be meters away from 8 lanes of the motorway with lawn covered concrete (guide rope unfriendly) or motorhomes and awnings near a concrete standing covered in broken glass and charcoal remnants. Unpleasant sleeping arrangements and not ideal for dogs. I think this is all a work in progress so potentially has great things ahead .

Lovely afternoon tea. We love the new look x

Really nice food. Staff very friendly. Highly recommended. Very reasonable pricing. Sunday dinner on a Wednesday night. Perfect.

Stopped here on our travels for a break and something to eat. Super friendly staff and fantastic food. It is a hidden gem. Just of Junction 28 on M1 It also accommodates for breakfast and lunch at the Willowtree Cafe/Bistro. Will definitely call in again. Excellant

Went for a family meal. Lovely place and food is cooked fresh to order. Definitely recommend

Lovely meal with very nice, friendly staff. Recommended. Generous portions with a very reasonable price. We stayed overnight on the car park in our motorhome, there is a hook up for £5 and a parking fee of £5, water but no emptying point. Really good value.

We had our school prom here last night and I have to say it was a brilliant evening. Danny was amazing, he was so attentive in making sure everything was ok for us, the staff were great too. The food was gorgeous and there was plenty to go round , in fact too much and those homemade chips were to die for. The kids had the best time and that's what it was about. Thanks Danny and team. Highly recommended

Amazing now it's had an update to a Bistro. Great for breakfast too

Hilcote country club used to be the best carvery around. Not anymore, they don’t even serve carvery. You can imagine our disappointment when we turned up and there was no carvery deck (even after asking 2 members of staff the night before if they still did carvery - to which they replied YES) Turned up, car park was unusually empty for 12:30 on a Sunday - there was a reason for that! We asked if they still allowed you to have all 3 meats with your dinner (as they did previously with the carvery) The server said yes- you can imagine our surprise when we went to pay the bill that we were charged £3.50 each for the 3 meats! We waited 45 mins for our food to be served. Meat was dry (we took it home for the dogs)! Yorkshire puddings were not even Yorkshire puddings (just a lump of dough). Stuffing was ok, roasties were ok, mash was ok. Veg was the hottest thing on the plate & Who serves soggy red cabbage with a Sunday dinner? My partner would eat just about anything but even he didn’t eat the majority of his Sunday dinner. Very disappointed. Came to £62 for 4 “none carvery’s” and 1 starter. Was asked by the waitress if everything was Ok when clearing away - to which we told her our concerns. She didn’t care. Neither did the bar staff who asked us the same question upon paying. We didn’t bother telling the manager, we just won’t return for the food.

Had a great breakfast here today food was great service was excellent and the decor was very nice would I go there again definitely

Scruffy pub not very clean over priced below average food 😞 I think I change the oil in my van more than in ther fryers

Great venue for events , nice surroundings and polite helpful staff

We pulled up and had had food here on our way down south! The food was so delicious and the staff were so friendly and welcoming! Would deffo go again!

Afternoon tea celebrating friends birthday. Fab food, lovely staff and good value.good Good choice

Amazing place and Amazing staff

Lovely lunch. Friendly welcoming staff. Enjoyed our visit. Xx

Incredible uplift and hidden gem! With a fabulous recent makeover and wonderful food this restaurant has to be visited. There are plans for a bistro and cafe area which will include afternoon tea and brunch etc. our evening meal was beautiful with great service too. The desert was one of the best I’ve had for years!

Brilliant evening spent listening to a queen tribute. Grate atmosphere

Totally fantastic night out. Food - delicious Staff- very organised, polite, nothing too much trouble. Tribute night that didn't disappoint.

Lovely afternoon cream tea, great staff and lovely atmosphere

Afternoon tea, very well presented with excellent friendly service. Good quality food. Great warm scones with clotted cream & jam! Recommend

We had a lovely afternoon tea yesterday for mothers day we would like to thank Dan and Paul for making it so special for us and the chef too 😀

Went as a family for afternoon tea as a treat for my mother's birthday. The food was great, the service was brilliant Will certainly not be the last time we visit Waiters were brilliant

Lovely afternoon tea served by an open fire, also served with warm cherry scone. Attentive and helpful staff

Clean, cosy, excellent food and service.

Absolutely fabulous afternoon tea today sat next to open fire well worth the money. service especially good and attentive. Plenty Choice sandwiches, cakes and warm stones jam and cream unlimited cups of tea. I will definitely return.

Pretty average place. It's just off a main road; make sure not to miss the turn. Signage isn't the best outside. The place is quite nice for a small venue/party. Has ample parking; but the carpark does need to be tarmac.

Nice setting but had afternoon tea and it was just served on platters like a buffet, they forgot the tea and the service was very slow

Great place for a function, friendly staff, good selection of drinks and great food

One of my favourite local pubs, the staff are so friendly and helpful! When we have time we will go and have a meal there and the food is faultless, all homemade! They offer an auction night on a Thursday which is great fun if you have no plans even to go and watch.

Brilliant night last Friday. Second time we’ve been to see the act and it just as good second time. As was the organisation, the food and the service. We’ll done team. 10/10

On Saturday night we were the group celebrating a 40th birthday party. We had a venue booked, food booked and a band arranged. But at the last minute they cancelled over a minor disagreement with a member of our party and we were left hanging high and dry. The staff at the Hilcote immediately rose to the challenge when we rang asking for a table for fifteen to twenty ... needed there and then ... and on a Saturday night! They were brilliant. Within the hour we had a really good table and an amazing and varied buffet of tasty, hot food. Fantastic. They were so accommodating and helpful even though they were also dealing with a full function in another room. They all deserve a pat on the back, they were great. So, huge thanks to the Hilcote for turning a total disaster into a wonderful evening.

I came here for the Thursday auctions and it was amazing

Just had a fab meal here. It was absolutely delicious.

Waiters very attentive and polite. Food very good and plenty of it.

Excellent service and excellent food. Everyone very friendly and helpful lovely dining experience

Best Sunday dinner around for miles and what a great restaurant to sit in nice and relaxing

Had a fabulous Sunday dinner there yesterday, lovely roast beef with a good selection of vegetables gorgeous parsnips and roasties. Would highly recommend just go with an empty tummy.😀

We were booked in on Thursday the 5th of January and they were closed and we had no prior notice of this, very disappointing!! Ruined a family night out!! :(

Excellent food and a great atmosphere

Only visited as Santa for a Christmas party but seemed ok

Disappointed that the carvery is no more! The set Sunday lunch wasn't great and I'll not be in a hurry to return, despite the nice decor etc. Potatoes tasted deep fried, not roasted, veg was mediocre and it's now extra for cauliflower cheese. Meat was tough and not much of it. Such a shame... The standards have dropped and it was quite empty, whereas it always used to be rammed full.

Went for the wife's works Xmas meal, great place, fantastic service, the disco & atmosphere was brilliant, the food was awful. #NEVERAGAIN

Went on a works christmas party, the food was reasonable considering the number of people in the building but seating was poor cramped around tables that were too small for the number trying to eat. One ladies chair collapsed but we were sat on little more than deck chairs.

Went for Christmas dinner food and service was excellent but needed mote Christmas touches for ambience, crackers, serviettes etc
