Inn at Troway Restaurant in North East Derbyshire

Solo comimos una vez allí, pero habíamos jurado que si estuviéramos en el distrito en el futuro sería nuestro lugar al que ir. La comida en nuestra visita estaba bien preparada y bien presentada, y esperamos volver. Qué vergüenza para ellos.

Good food if pricey. Service mixed but it was only days before they closed down. They shut the kitchen at 8pm so we were told no dessert available. Shame.

Honesty have never experienced such an amazing tasting meal. Beautiful. I loved it. Only downside is it is closing which makes me sad.

Acabo de tener un almuerzo fabuloso nuevamente en el Brook at Troway y no me decepcionó. No puedo creer lo silencioso que fue el viernes a la hora del almuerzo y les pido a las personas que visiten este encantador lugar. ¡Me sorprendería que no estuvieras feliz! La decoración es excelente, al igual que el personal y la comida es perfecta. Definitivamente cinco estrellas de mi parte

Esta es definitivamente la mejor comida de la zona, recién hecha, enormes porciones y bellamente presentada. El servicio era de primera categoría, un cambio agradable después de probar el Devonshire en el medio handley donde la comida fría, porciones pequeñas y demasiado caro. El arroyo gana mi voto.

Habiendo regresado por primera vez desde el cierre y cambio de administración, mi esposa y yo estábamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. Nuestro plato principal de pato, maíz alimentado con maíz y pescado y patatas fritas y postre Eton Messer fueron todos deliciosos e imaginativamente presentados.

Fuimos a almorzar aquí, la comida estaba deliciosa (podría haber comido nuevamente) y mi esposo estuvo de acuerdo en que era lo mismo. El personal es amable y servicial.

Siempre vamos aquí cuando mis tíos están arriba de Londres y ¡nunca decepciona! ¡He tenido el jamón y el bistec y la tarta de cerveza aquí y siempre tengo las patatas fritas gruesas de jenga! Honestamente, el pastel de carne y cerveza es AMAZZZING. ¡Nunca he podido comer todo porque es enorme! Ve y pruébalo y no te decepcionará <3

Nuestra aprehensión inicial sobre la cantidad limitada de opciones en el menú disminuyó rápidamente ya que había varias opciones especiales disponibles. Los dos optamos por el pato con miel y pimienta para comenzar, que estaba muy bien presentado y no nos decepcionó con sabor. La porción no era masiva, pero no se requería más para disfrutarla como aperitivo. Los platos principales se presentaron fantásticamente y se combinaron con sabor. La tarta y la panceta eran nuestras opciones, y mi intolerancia a la lactosa se solucionó rápidamente reemplazando el puré con patatas fritas. Nos fuimos con el estómago lleno y satisfecho. El ambiente es tranquilo y relajante, y las vistas son maravillosas. Definitivamente recomendamos una visita.

Aparece espontáneamente, no habíamos estado en años desde que era el páramo negro, pero encontramos las reseñas en TA y fue una gran decisión.

Just had a light lunch here with Mum and it was excellent! Mum had fish and chips and I had a chicken cesear salad, which was beautiful, never had so much chicken in one of these salads and the mayo was to die for! Would highly recommend and will be going back.

Very warm welcome, sat in the dining room overlooking the fields. The service was very good and efficient. The food was very good although we did think it was a little on the expensive side for the choices. Saying that we all enjoyed what we had.

Second visit to the brook for our golden wedding anniversary and it didn't disappoint. The separate dining area with a large table was ideal. Perfect, private but not shut away. The table was laid out superbly. Service excellent. Food very good. Would recommend this venue for anyone with a special occasion.

We came back to eat here Monday lunch as we have had some superb evening meals since the new owners took this place on, and the lunch was on par with the evening services.

Very warm welcome sat in the bar before going into the dining room service excellent drinks well served I had a gin and tonic. As it was Sunday my husband and I ordered Sunday lunch sharing dish the three meats dish comprised of Pork Chicken and Beef. plus all the accompaniments it was delicious but unfortunately for me too much but my husband thought it was brill.The rest of the family had an assortment of meals but all well cooked and well presented. Waitress excellent.

We popped in to the brook for the 1st time this evening. It was a real spur of the moment thing, but boy am i glad we tried it. The pub itself looks fabulous, it has such a warm cosy feel. It's also dog friendly with treats and water for your 4 legged friends available when you walk in.

A cold night with much snow and very few people in. However, we were given a warm welcome and the service was good.

Such a shame these guys haven’t hit the mark. The meal we ate would have just about passed if we’d paid pub grub prices but rock hard butter, tasteless terrine, balsamic glazed everything...cold over-cooked steak burger, over cooked fish, bizarre combinations, didn’t even take the cap off the wine never mind pour it. Paper napkins and no finesse of any sort. Staff were largely abrupt (except one lovely bubbly lady).

We visited tonight and were greeted with smiling faces behind a well stocked attractive bar .

Was a little disappointed they didn't have the Valentine's 6 course menu on that we had booked to make it a special night. But the food we had was still stunning. The steak cut like butter, and everything was lovely. Service and surroundings are lovely. I've always loved the pub so nice to see it's back up to standard again.

Took my mum for lunch today to celebrate my new job. The charcuterie starter was on the whole very nice. The balsamic in the oil would be better seperate. The herb butter I would swear was margarine not butter. The steak main was ok. The steak was flavour less and lots of juices were swimming on the plate I can only assume was due to the meat having not been rested prior to being served. Creme brulee was delish as always. No need for ice cream on the side. Merlot was cold not room temp. Sophie our waitress was sweet and attentive as was another lady who was smartly dressed, dark hair. Maybe Manager. All in all a shame. Not worth the 70 odd notes i paid!!!

Went up for lunch today, the pub is beautiful, tastefully decorated with fantastic views over Moss valley.

Valentines visit and well worth it.. Every course was great especially the fillet steak it cut like butter and was so tender and cooked to perfection.. really enjoyes it and for £35 each for a 6 course meal was good value. Lovely inside lovely touch to the table with rhe sweets and rose petals.. Will def return. Thanks. Also all the staff was very pleasant... 5 stars..

Called in today for a meal and it was lovely!

I ordered a chargrilled chicken sandwich which didn't taste anything like. It had been pan fried and was still shiny in parts from the fat plus it was covered in lots of black bits. These looked as though they'd come from the pan itself. I can't imagine it could have been that much black pepper as there was no mention of it. The chips-jenga, were soggy and didn't have a pleasant taste. The dollop of rocket on the plate was wet and uninspiring. If you want to make a success of this pub, at least get the basics right. The staff were pleasant but there was no check back during the meal & only a passing enqiry as the plates were collected at the end of the meal.

From the outside, The Brook is a large stunning mock Tudor style building set apart and on its own. When you walk inside it's like entering a grand hotel, so spacious and the interior design is stunning. My friend is a regular there and recommended it so strongly I had to see for myself. We were warmly welcomed and for the duration of our stay, we were very well looked after by the attentive staff. We had "The Pie" which I must say lived up to its reputation. A generous succulent Steak & Ale pie full of tender chunks of steak and encased in a hand raised crispy hot water crust pastry, tasty beef gravy and delicious creamy mash with a selection of fresh vegetables. It was worth traveling for and I will certainly go again.

Booked for early Saturday evening the staff were very attentive. The meal was very good my husband wanted Ribeye Steak but only had Rump but was good. I had supreme Chicken stuffed with Blue Cheese I don't like that so I asked for Cheddar and that wasn't a problem. Both had sweets and they were delicious. All in all a good night out would go again.

Lovely relaxing place, even when more people arrived there was no rush to leave and could enjoy our conversation fully. Great place.

My friend and I visited here last Tuesday Evening after seeing it had reopened on Facebook. I can’t say enough about the food here, absolutely amazing! I am so glad this restaurant has reopened and is back to its usual 5 star standard. I enjoyed the meal so much we have booked to go back on the 13th. Great to see you back open guys, thanks for a lovely evening!

We decided to give this place a try as we used to come regularly before it changed hands. We were not disappointed. The service and food were great.

Wish we had gone elsewhere. Starter average. Main meal came with mash (NO CHIPS. ONION RINGS OR VINE TOMATOES???)the 3 steak meals were also cold. Told them so took back got chips. Still no onion rings or vine tomatoes.3 slices of bread for four people?? Complained again. Was given dour desserts free. The two eton mess were not like the next table. Very small and no xream topping. Will not go again!!

We are local to this restaurant so thought we'd give it a try since it had just re-opened. The lady on the bar was extremely welcoming, we were a little early for our reservation so had a drink in the bar before being seated. The refurb that the pub has undergone is lovely however, that's the last good comment I can make in this review. We booked for 7:30pm our order was taken quickly but it took until 8pm until we received our starters. When they did arrive we had to send back, my partner ordered the pigeon breast which was so over done he could barely cut through it. As we wanted to eat together I asked to send my starter back and receive another when the new pigeon was ready. After 10-15 minutes we received our starters again which we did eat due to being hungry but we had the following issues with: scallops were cold and the pigeon still overcooked and we chewed on a piece of shot. When we raised the issue about the shot the waitress apologised and went to speak with the kitchen who just said it was normal due to the pigeon being wild, now I accept that fact but there really should be a warning on the menu or at point of placing your order for this dish. While waiting for our main course we witnessed several complaints about the food and serve and one table in particular received their meal but we're waiting a further 10 minutes for the accompanying sauce to arrive, another table of actually left before eating any food because they'd waited so long for any food to arrive. We waited over half an hour for our main before we decided to call our loses and leave. We really wanted this place to be our local go to place for eating out but unfortunately we will not be going back.

Excellent food and service. Could not fault this restaurant. You must try it. Good portions, good cooking and presentation.

This place has re-opened under new ownership so tried it again. Done some redecoration, very quiet but nice open fire going which was very welcoming. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Think this place is trying to be something its not with the strange menu options, went with a group and wasn't impressed with the small potions. The lamb was a cheap cut, the sea bass disappointing and I like my veg cooked. As you'll need a vehicle to get here there's better options in the area.

Called here for lunch today, for the first time since it changed ownership.

A pre booked meal was arranged and my self and my partner called ahead of time to ask if we could drop a cake off to be brought out after our mains as a surprise for her mother’s birthday. A simple request I would believe and common practise or knowledge in the retraunt industry.

This is the first visit since becoming The Brook and what a lovely surprise. As you walk through the door it is warm and welcoming and the young lady behind the bar was just as welcoming. The food was excellent. Liver and Onions for my husband and I had the pear and blue cheese tart which I understand is made to order. Both meals were visually pleading and tasted even better. The young waitress was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Definitely would go back and definitely recommend. Only reason a 4* and not a 5* is I feel we should have been told tart was made to order and therefore our meal would take a little longer. Didn't bother us as we weren't in a hurry but just felt it was a point to mention.

Wow! What a night! My family and I visited The Brook (what was the inn at troway) as we had heard from friends it had reopened, and what a relief to find that it has new management.

Having driven past a number of times before Xmas decided to venture over between Xmas and New Year with my daughter and a couple of friends to find the place shut. I had looked at the website prior to the journey which said it was open but not the case. I submitted a query via their website which was ignored so I decided to ring in.

Having booked for a birthday celebration at the owners previous location, we thoroughly enjoyed the 'private dining' experience at the Newly Re-opened Brook. Fantastic service both before and during the lunchtime meal by an attentive, friendly and extremely professional team. Thanks to Damian and Jayne in particular for accommodating us but also for re-opening our local favourite venue which to date has shown a return to the high standards we had come to associate with the Brook / Inn at Troway / Black A Moor as it has been over the past decade. We are once again regulars into 2018....

We were going to the Cock and Magpie but found out the C&M; team had moved to The Brook so we booked for lunch between Christmas and the New Year. The weather was snowy so the largish pub was quite quiet. Three of us ordered the liver and onions from the “Light Lunch” menu and it was delightful; well cooked liver and the portion size was spot on. My wife went for the Cumberland sausage and mash which she said was very good. I had a couple of pints of very good Belgian Blue, and the Eaton Mess for pud was great. Service was very friendly and personable so full marks there too. I have no hesitation in recommending The Brook

First time visiting since new ownership and I must say the food and service has greatly improved, the best meal we’ve had out in a long time

We gave The Brook a try after many changes of hands over the years and glad to say in the right ones at last.

This was a favourite venue to visit in its previous Incarnation as 'The Inn at Troway'. It was always full and had a great atmosphere.

I have visited the brook several times in the past but my most recent visit has to be my favourite. The place has been revamped and is not only surrounded by beautiful views but the inside is very nice too. The new management team is superb. All the staff are really chatty and welcoming. There’s plenty of tables in numerous different sections in which you can be seated whether you’re coming for dinner with family and friends, a couple of gins in the evening or a more intimate setting. We visited on a Sunday and had the sharing platter. The food was delicious and excellent value for such a high standard. I look forward to my next visit.

We have now been twice since the new team took over and the food is excellent with lovely friendly staff. The standard of the food is superb as it was at the Cock and Magpie but this is a much more suitable venue for food of such a high standard. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Visit on Thursday for lunch the place is beautiful very tasteful, greeted by a lovely young man very chatty and friendly made us feel very welcome. I tried the veggie burger lovely great presentation tasty served with chips garnish and homemade onion rings. My husband had the liver and mash served with fresh vegetables again lovely presentation and taste. We are really pleased it’s open again as we love this place and hope you have every success in the future,I am sure you will.

Sunday lunch Amazing followed the manager to 3 of his pubs he's had and have all been spot on but the brook is our favourite we will be back soon in fact booked on for Christmas day

We cannot reccomend visiting The Brook enough; not only for those breathtaking views, but for the entire package of superb food, great selection of drinks, stunning decor and great service to boot!

Visited over the weekend after their move from cock and magpie , the place is a lovely venue but needs a little re think, the lighting is way too bright and needs toning down the tables are too large and seating in bar area not very comfy to sit for a while . We were immediately greeted and staff were lovely although it took some time for drinks and menu. After choosing the charcuterie platter we were slightly disappointed the bread which was dry and cold and the chorizo quite thickly sliced with only the addition of prosciutto ham and few olives with a nondescript onion chutney. We fared better with mains my pork belly and scallops was lovely with crisp cracking and a tasty mash although the scallops could have been seared better. My partners surf and turf was overwhelming in size with a decent steak and scallops and prawns well cooked and tasty, again scallops could be more caramelised ? Were scallops needed ? Prawns would be better in a garlic butter ? Veg was ok.

Called in today, food is top notch - just as it was in their previous establishment, and this place is beautiful!

The management and staff have just moved here from the Cock and Magpie in Chesterfield, so my pal and I made it a priority to have lunch there yesterday. To our ineffable delight, Gary the Piemeister provided his world-beating steak pie and glorious chips, and we were as happy as could be, in the beautiful conservatory overlooking the local countryside. This is perhaps the most luxuriously appointed pub in the region, and now that the splendid team from the Cock and Magpie are here, we shall regularly be filled with deep joy...and pie!

Stunning interior and super warm, cosy and inviting!

i used to work at the brook at troway...and i was embarrassed to work therefood massively over priced the manager drug dealing in the building and doing drugs in the kitchen

I have visited twice with an elderly friend since the new proprieters have taken over what we locals still call the Blackamoor.Wow what a transformation of the establishment . gorgeous surroundings , fires opend up and lit, curtious welcoming staff.Now onto the main event if you "want microwaved, boil in the bag fast food , or dare I mention mountains of tacky cavery " then this is not for you.This fine dine eatery is certainly just our cup of tea superb menu choice , with obviously locally sourced ingredients making highest quality plates of food , I partaked on both lunchtimes of a steak cooked to perfection , roasted onions, melted yorkshire blue cheese , served on warm ciabbatta, accompanied with a portion of the most amazing perfectly cooked chips , I asked if Chef would make me a peppercorn sauce (not on the menu) not a problem it was just divine. My friend always the very much traditional had the cod and chips and pea puree , thoroughly enjoyed on both occasions . Leaving no room for puddings thank you.The pricing structure in my opinion is spot on , for all the surroundings , exquisite quality food and the service.Keep up the good works.We shall be back soon.Anne W

Myself and my husband visited today we were highly disappointed, although the pub was nice friendly greeting and I appreciate it was a snowy day but we were cold sat in the conservatory away from the open fires the other diners were also complaining of draughts and being cold. We ordered the Sunday Pork lunch which we felt was expensive at £14.50 so had high expectations and unfortunately we were very disappointed and actually left hungry!!! We visited the near by Wards Garden Centre and had cake and hot chocolate.

Very embarrassing to bring my best friends here who we had not seen for ages we all left feeling hungry so we went to chequers nearby for a big dessert really don't like making a negative review when it's only opened, but how can a table for 2 behind us get the same veg for a table for 4 people isn't it a shame when management skimp on the cheapest items like potatoes we all got 3 very small roasted and no mash. Although the waitress was lovely when I asked her for some more veg she said we would have to pay extra we knew the price was 16.50 each for the meal didn't bother we all thought it extremely strange it was empty when we walked in. But luckily for us she brought us more carrots and peas won't go again what a shame the place run correctly could be amazing

I don't understand where the other reviewers have been eating. We've visited twice since it re-opened as The Brook and it's been nothing less than a delight both times. We had the fish and chips and certainly on the first visit it was amongst the nicest we've ever had. The staff were helpful and attentive, the food was terrific, and whilst it isn't the cheapest, if you want a pint and a meal for a fiver you won't get food like you get here.

I visited The Brook on Sunday for lunch with family. I can honestly say the best Sunday lunch I have had in a very long time. The interior looks amazing and the staff are very attentive. We will definitely be back!

Used to enjoy going when it was The inn at Troway so was looking forward to trying it out now it has been taken over and 'done up'. Wish I had read these reviews before as I wouldn't have bothered!!Atmosphere was zero, there is no children's menu, service was the slowest I've ever experienced, the beer was sour (and I do mean sour) and the food was rubbish! Not one single redeeming feature and a total waste of money. Management should read some of these comments because they are all spot on accurate, will indeed be closed in 6 months if nothing changes. Would have rated it zero if I could!

Just had lunch at the Brook, (previously Inn At Trowey) food was horrendous, ordered a club sandwich which should have included smoked chicken, bacon, fried egg and hand cut chips.The sandwich was stone cold, the smoked chicken was a couple of thin slices of cold garlic sausage, the bacon was too crisp, think it was the stuff you buy ready cooked in packets. dry white sliced bread poorly toasted plum tomatoes were ordinary tomatoes, hand cut chips were cheap frozen french fries, and no fried egg. Didn't pay for it. The worst club sandwich I have ever had, £9.99. Don't go near the place its a joke, and it wont still be there in 6 Months.

We came here as a couple to try the pub under its new ownership. My first impression was that the staff have had very little training, the lad that served us struggled with the till with no one to help him. A pint of San Miguel and a small Diet Coke (less than half a pint bottle) £6.50! We asked for a table and then we're left to find where to go ourselves (luckily we have been before so we knew where to go)I ordered fish pie &amp; my partner had bangers &amp; mash, we were left with the menus on the table after ordering which I found a bit strange.A few things on the menu were strange, a sharing stater - baked Camembert &amp; bread etc £15! But then a sharing charcuterie board was under £10? Seems like the prices were the wrong way around.Our food - I have to say the food was lovely, apart from finding a fish bone in my fish pie - very off putting. The sausage and mash was lovely with the Hendersons in the gravy. Could do with a portion of veg with it though. The waiter forgot to ask us for sauces etc but I could see he hadn't been trained to &amp; a young girl waitressing was doing her best to help him &amp; she was brilliant from what I observed. Overall my general feeling is more time needs to go into training &amp; having a senior member of staff on the floor would definitely help. The pub is done out beautifully but the staff need training - we will visit again as it wasn't the staffs fault &amp; the food was lovely.

We used to love coming to The Troway and thought we'd give it a try under new management. Disorganised young staff left us standing 5-10 minutes for our booked table. We were only allowed to choose from the Sunday menu . Both my partner and I chose the pork Sunday dinner. It was cold and the pork was pink/bloody. Sent it back and received a new meal without much improvement. Prices are now higher than they used to be for less quality - 2 lunches and 2 drinks for £35.50. Wouldn't recommend nor will we return, especially with competition like the Mossbrook Inn down the road. Disappointed.

Visited on the 21st October now under new owners, refurbished and looks lovely fresh bright, the décor is really lovely simple but effective a very comfortable atmosphere throughout.The menu is varied and plenty of choice, the food very tasty and of high quality. Service was very pleasant and attentive from both the staff on duty.The new owner took the time to come and speak to us which was really nice we will return next week to sample the evening menu in this delightful place thank you.

This was my favourite place to eat but after dinner last night I don't think we will return.As we walked into the restaurant there was a overwhelming smell of paint... My partner ordered fish pie we're he picked three bones out!After paying the bill and attempted to leave the manager stopped us and tried to bill us again!!

Called in for Monday lunch to find that this restaurant had now been taken over by new owners and had just reopened that weekend.It was very quiet. The beer was excellent although no longer Thornbridge brewery.The menu was not dissimilar to the previous one but was quite pricey for some of the items. We were very disappointed there were no lunchtime specials, we do not always want to pay a la carte prices at lunchtime. The food was good and homemade.

I ate here with my family in July to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious and the pub is in beautiful surroundings.Staff wasn't overly attentive but was still polite and helpful. Had some altercations with the bill when we was about to leave. Quickly highlighted that our waitress had taken a card payment for £30 but only imputed £3 on the till, leaving the overall bill £27 even though everyone's card receipts added up to over the total bill. Waitress seemed unsure about this and had to call a manager but had problems finding him / her. We waited around 15 mins, before we had to leave and left contact details for the manager to get in touch if they needed our card receipts.Never heard from anyone which I believe was poor customer service, expected a phone call to apologise for the inconvenience. Since this visit I also found out if dining on a birthday with 6 or more people the birthday girl should receive a free meal / fizz / cake. I checked the T&amp;C to this and we had met all the requirements but was never made aware of this offer even though it was very clear to all staff this was for a birthday... Birthday balloons, birthday cake, presents etc. I was a little annoyed to find this out after.I believe the Inn at Troway has recently closed and re opened under new management.I will be returning to give this place another whirl and hope new management and staff are what this place needs!

Tried to visit last week, phoned numerous occasions, no reply, no answerphone to leave a message on. We drove there, only to discover that it was closed to summer leave??Shame as previously we always had a good meal in pleasant surroundings.

After a lovely morning at Renishaw Hall we opted to visit the Inn at Troway for lunch around 2pm. However a 15 minute drive later we find the Inn closed due to "summer leave" during this time of year surely it would be better to be open? We will not be visiting again anytime soon.

Went today for lunch with the family. Beef tough as leather. As was the lamb. Pork dry as a bone. Will not be going again. Did give us free desert when we complained. Lovely location though.

This has now become our new local. The food has consistently been very good over numerous visits. The location is great and has a nice patio/terrace overlooking the countryside. Also kids under 8 eat free with an adult. Check the specials board out too.

We have eat here may times over the years &amp; the food has been excellent, however I ordered a salad with halloumi cheese for the topping......What a shock when it arrived.......a plate of Iceberg lettuce with just 3 small pieces of halloumi cheese on top of it &amp; a couple of tomatoes. I have never, in the whole of my life been presented with such a poor quality salad.......WONT be going back there again !!!

Popped in here for a quick lunch. Had the chicken ceasar salad and the sharing platter. The clue should have been in the title - ie sharing platter! der! Platter was lovely very tasty, but way too much!Salad - as you can see from the photo, lots of lettuce. To be honest would have preferred a smaller plate and less lettuce, was like wading through a forest.. there was chicken in there but buried under all the lettuce. The dressing was thick and gloopy and barely there, I had to ask for some more to make it less dry.All in all, quick efficient service, nice food, we have been here lots of times before and its great for what it is, nothing special, just good bistro pub food.Great parking, nice deck outside with lovely views, nice conservatory to sit in. Lots of local hand pulled ales. Staff are very friendly.

We visited here for the second time and yet again was really good. We are very impressed with the food and the service. I can highly recommend the sharing starter. The menu is a delight and well thought out. I can't wait to return

As ever. , food , service , jaipur. first class thank you. good foo always recommend. never had a bad meala place to go . you will not be dissapointed .

Went here at a last minute spontaneous decision rather than cook at home because it was late. We had waiter service here which was good. I ordered the steak burger and the food came pretty quickly. When it came at first I was a bit alarmed as some blood was running out with the juices but obviously with it being a steak burger that's ok. I took my mind off the blood and started eating, it was very tasty and full of flavour. Everyone else enjoyed their meal as well and it all looked good. A nice selection of deserts too. Definately worth going 'in' at the Troway.

We enjoyed our visit to the Inn at Troway on a Tuesday evening. We were greeted in a friendly manner and had a drink in the bar. The barman suggested a nice local beer to try, which we did happily. The waitress who brought us our food was efficient and there were no problems. The views from the beer garden are fantastic, although we didn't actually notice this till the way out. Definitely something for next time

I took my wife here for a nice meal as we were staying nearby and wanted a great pub meal. Having researched a few places in the area, this pub won and so we head down to check it out. We were both amazed at what we found. The views from the pub car park were incredible. It was a full on view across the rolling hills and in the post rain sunshine it gave us both a great start to our experience.We were offered a nice table in the part overlooking the view and it was fairly busy for a mid-week meal, but when we got our food we understood why. Living in London and being foodies, my wife and I have high expectations and this really did meet them. The meals were very well presented and mine tasted even better. I asked for a recommendation on a local ale and was given one which I later went to make a visit to the brewery (that's how much I liked it). My wife was less of a fan of her main meal as I think she had expected something more spicy (it was a lamb kofta dish which was a special for the day), but enjoyed the rest of her meal.Overall, I would say that for anyone in the area or visiting the Peak District, this is a must see. We unfortunately were too stuffed to try their house speciality pecan pie and had hoped to go back the next day, but unfortunately our plans changed, but we will definitely be making a trip back at some point in the future to give it a try.

I visited with a group of work colleagues for dinner. The decor is very nice and views are stunning. The menu had a good selection and all of our meals were very tasty and obviously good quality ingredients.The downside was the rudest waitress I have encountered, her manner was unhelpful, disinterested and quite sarcastic. I would not visit here again and would serious suggest the waitress involved considers a career change!!

Thank you! This was def one of the nicest meals we had at this restaurant (and we have been here many many times with some good / average and very poor experience) It was nice to see somebody in charge of personnel and the service and to ensure customers where happy and treated correctly even after an issue was raised!Smoked salmon started was lovely (the poached egg could have been better) and the hake main was delicious! Liver pate was nice - could have come with some butter and beef brisket was enjoyed a lot by my partner (I found it a bit dry) ...... Still not sure if everybody should get some bread and dip to the table as we where missed again - one table next to us got it - the other one also didn't get it - so no idea! Gin menus needs to be back on the tables please!

We used to visit the pub fairly regularly when it was called the Blackamoor.Had a meal There back in May, my wife had salt &amp; pepper squid as a starter and seabream, I tried the garlic mushrooms followed by lamb shank. The food was cooked to perfection and the service warm and friendly and at the right pace.The visit today with our friends phoned this morning to book a table in the conservatory. Arrived on time, warm welcome by the staff had a drink in the bar prior to sitting down for the meal. We ordered our food starters salt &amp; pepper squid for me and our male friend the girls ordered smoked salmon and tiger prawn linguini. The squid turned out to be battered squid rings which seemed just like the frozen type you buy in the supermarket and over cooked ie tough.The girls starters they really enjoyed them. Main course my wife and our female friend ordered of the specials board seafood linguini, our female friend ordered Chicken, our male friend ordered seabream i choose the piggy mixed grill the seafood linguini came cooked with chilli (not advertised) my wife cannot eat chilli it causes a painful reaction in her mouth ,no problem the dish was changed straight away without any qualms ( had to wait while it was cooked without chilli), my mixed grill was one of the poorest I have ever had thin pork chop and thin gammon both very dry and small piece of chorizo which was burnt thin slice of black pudding and I mean thin, cocktail 3 sausages supermarket type and 1 sausage not as good as the supermarkets the egg and chips were OK. Our friends and my wife enjoyed their food with the exception of the squid, I did not enjoy any of my meal. I did not wish to complain as being out with friends, I was reluctant to make them feel we had taken them to a restaurant that served poor quality food.I have given four stars as our previous meal was very good . The location is fantastic and the staff warm, welcoming and friendly. I will go back to the place as one bad meal will not put me off this restaurant.

We used to visit here regularly although it's probably about 18 months since we've been and we were really disappointed. Other reviews on here seem to suggest that the quality and service is much reduced.The menu had barely changed and although there was a good selection of 'special' mains on there, none particularly took my fancy. Oh and being pedantic there were so many spelling mistakes on the chalk board it looked very unprofessional.It was fairly quiet which made the constant stomping round of a sour-faced woman (I'm guessing manager) so much more obvious. I opted for the sausage and mash with Yorkshire pudding and onion gravy. The pudding tasted as though it had been cooked, frozen and then warmed up as it was pretty tough. The sausages were nice tasting but the gravy spoilt the entire dish. It was sticky and unbelievably sweet, more like a marmalade than a savoury gravy. Hubby opted for a steak and ale pie which tasted ok but barely had any filling. Both our meals were so hot it seems as though they had, at least in part, been microwaved.The desserts were better except the shortbread was far from being 'short' but the creme brule was good. It's not somewhere we'll be returning to in a hurry. It's a real shame as it has so much potential.

We visited the Inn with two Spanish customers. We were warmly welcomed by the waitress who was really helpful. Five of us dined out and we all had a great meal. The appetisers of crackling went down well along with the salt and peppered squid. Mains were a split of burgers, pie and linguine. No complaints from our party. We were well and truly full. The local beers went down well with our visitors as well. Overall it's a reasonably priced menu, not the cheapest, but the quality and quantity are more than adequate. Thanks.

Not really a great experience this time. 4 of us visited. we had starters which were quite nice. Main meals - Steak pie was just a dish with a suet pie lid on top - although it was apparently quite tasty. My burger was greasy and the chips not up to the usual standard. Service was slow despite the place being almost empty. Were served a board with pieces of bread on and a dip by a waiter who mumbled something as he plonked it on our table and left!!! 1/5 for service Im afraid ! There was some sort of fire in the kitchen as these was a thick smell of smoke which was quite off putting which was rectified by the waiter only when we asked what had happened by him opening the windows behind us.The place lacked any atmosphere - not good for a bank holiday Sunday. They could do with cleaning the toilets too - paper towels all over the floor....Other places near here do much better these days Im afraid.

Stunning view in a well presented eating area. Staff are extremely helpful and polite. The food was tasty and good sized portions. Like a previous review the pie would have been better on a plate as although it did look nice it was awkward to eat but very very tasty. Puddings were also very nice. Will definitely visit again. Well worth a visit.

This evening eleven of us came for dinner, I had been before and once again the food was fantastic.Some of my guests this evening have said they are coming back next week.As a special thankyou the birthday girls dinner was on the house and I can't thank them enough for that.For good food, helpfulness and a good atmosphere why not come and try yourselves, I look forward to reading your comments.

Have been many times, recently on Sunday afternoon and had reserved a particular table. Attentive staff soon sorted out our nibbles for starters and 4 different mains. I had the Brisket which was perfect and came with mash, others had various Sunday roasts although there was no mash only roasts. All thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will return. One small criticism, the bar guy was a not really that welcoming and a bit surly and has been on previous visits, a smile might help, maybe I'm nit-picking

Arrived here after a recommendation from a friend and was generally impressed, both had nice meals and service was fine only bad thing was the amount of things on your plate, I'm not sure when you have a pie you need the pie in its pot, the peas in a gravy boat and the chips in a small bucket rather than all just on the plate to mix together.

Nice pub set out in the countryside between dronfield and eckington. We visited late evening on a Tuesday night and the pub was quiet, but were greeted with a friendly staff and given a choice of any seats/tables. Pub is a typical pub from the outside but is nicely decorated and cosy inside, there is also a conservatory attached to the rear of the pub for seating which is nice during the day as the views are lovely but you can't really see that at night. The food is mostly pub grub and is slightly more than average price i'd say - however the quality is very good. I had the braised beef which was large and tasty and my fiancé had the pie and roast potatoes which was also very good. We've been here a few times and will definitely return.

Nice to see that this pub is finally being looked after! In a great location and now has management who care about their establishment.

Visited with my mum as we had the opportunity to have lunch together and being in the area on what was one of the nicer sunny Spring days so far this year we decided here would be nice regardless of how great the food was. We were both pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was and by the generous portions, so much that I didn't eat anything else that evening, chips were just how I like them! A pleasant view in a relaxed pub with good food - would recommend.

Staying in Middle Handley for a few days and our host recommended this pub/restaurant for an evening meal. Four of us went and enjoyed the food and the panoramic views. My partner and I had the veggie main and the sticky toffee pudding is wonderful. We had two servers during the evening, one more polite than the other. Cost £80 including a tip which I thought was quite good value for money. Had a lovely evening and would return if and when in the area again.

Been to this pub twice recently. Very nice decor and the view if you can get a table in the conservatory section is lovely. The food is good and reasonable value albeit nothing incredible. Recommended for a casual pub lunch in a nice setting.

Came across this place as a party of 6 looking for a place to eat on Easter Monday at 12 noon. Met by a very pleasant lady who was more than happy to move tables around for us even though they were going to be busy with bookings. The table she gave us was by the window with the most amazing view which was wonderful. The menu was extensive with a variety of options and was affordable and the food was good, no complaints! Will definitely be back! Thank you to all the staff!

Good portions of excellent food. Price was as expected and service levels good. Only minus was pizza on specials board, would have preferred something more original

This was our first visit for many years and we were not disappointed. The menu offers a range of foods to cater for all tastes and the price of the food reasonable. Additionally they have a specials board which all appear very tempting. The serving team were very good, giving us time to order and ensuring we had drinks when we needed them. The food when it arrived was cooked very well and well presented. Will be going here again

Although really busy, we were shown to a lovely table in the conservatory. The staff were very attentive. There was an offer on of fish meals for £10 inc a drink. We both had fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter with a glass of rose. It was cooked well. The chips were hand cut. The whole meal was perfect. I loved the Pete McKee art work on the walls. My friend has been loads of times and has never been disappointed. I will definitely be returning.

Three of us ate an excellent lunch this Good Friday. Service was attentive without being over bearing; whilst waiting for our main meal we were served with complimentary bread and oil/balsamic as well as our drinks. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. Top end pub prices but worth every penny. Lots of choice including daily specials and "chippy Friday" selection which was a real bargain at only £10 for the meal and a drink.

We love it here, its local, the food and service are good and have been loads of times, though visited again after a few months break. Came here for a late lunch and there was a new menu. Lacked the 'oompf' of previous menus - especially the specials board - it just wasn't as exciting as usual and seemed a bit formulaic . The quality hasn't gone down, so that's good !
