Host Coffee in North East Derbyshire

We have recently discovered a gem of a place, tucked out of the way in Coal Aston near Dronfield. The Magic Sunflower is a plant based eatery, fronted by Julie and Mark. They are totally focussed on providing the best food with the best service and they have created a heart-warming and welcoming space. It genuinely feels that they care about each and every meal they serve. I have had a plant-based diet for over 30 years and this is the best restaurant I have eaten in. The mains are mainly salad based and there is usually a 'special', currently mac and cheese. The salads are all great, simply zinging with health. The food feels like you are nurturing and respecting your body with beautiful flavours. My partner who is vegetarian loves the tofu scramble which could be described as a plant based all day breakfast. It includes roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, garlicky spinach and small roast potatoes as well as the scrambled tofu. There are a number of bread and toast and flatbread options. The cakes are amazing and we notice that many of their customers linger for coffee and cake or take a cake home after their meal.

Myself, my mum and my mother in law popped in to grab some food after collecting my wedding dress from a shop down the road - we had never been before but oh my what a find! Claire our waitress gave amazing service and was very helpful and in general just a lovely person to speak too. The food was amazing, credits to the chef! Drinks choice was excellent! If we lived closer, we’d be regulars that’s for sure.

Lovely little pub with a great selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere.

The pub is in a great spot and was packed for Sunday lunch. The service from the mainly fairly young team was really good - whoever is recruiting and training them needs to take a bow. The Sunday roast was ok but definitely in the quantity over quality category, and expensive at £22+. Mind you, if you can charge £22 for ok and still be packed then fair play I guess.

From entering the Angel & Harlequin, we were treated to exceptionally high standards. The first element we experienced was a genuine and friendly welcome by the staff along with a warm atmosphere. You then notice the high quality of your surroundings, where great attention to detail has been invested. That same investment was obviously apparent in the expertise of the serving staff who were exoertly attentive. The choice of food was fantastic and served swiftly. The food was absolutely delicious, where every element was of the highest quality and obviously freshly prepared. When we received the bill, we were highly surprised as we'd expect to pay more for a wholly unforgettable and amazing dining experience.
