Very kindly accommodated a group of 18 of us without any notice so we were very grateful for that - there’s where my two stars come in. But it quickly became clear they didn’t massively want us to stay. Despite the pub being more or less empty for the whole time we were there, they said they couldn’t make us burgers, wiping out half the menu. That was fair so we let it slide. Then I asked if just one of us wanted a burger whether we could get one. They still said no. They didn’t do anything to keep us around - didn’t offer more drinks and didn’t offer dessert. Found them a bit condescending in how they spoke to us. Food was fine. If I’m honest I’d rather they’d said they couldn’t accommodate us and asked us to go elsewhere as it was clear that’s what they really wanted.

Cabins in a peaceful location and well-stocked kitchenette on the grounds of a great pub with a carvery and a brilliant bar. Pic is of the view from room window

Our walking group called there one sunny Saturday afternoon recently. I would have expected a nice country pub with commanding views over the Trent Valley to be jam packed on a sunny weekend but it was almost deserted? The staff were pleasant and friendly and the place has a good choice of beers, so I couldn't understand why it was virtually empty.

Super service! We went on a Sunday that means cavery only on the menu, however, we wanted something lighter. As they were quite quiet they suggested a beef sandwich. I was expecting a couple of slices of beef, what we got was a mini feast! We will go back for sure. N.B. I made a mess of the gravy pot!

A country pub that serves great food. If you're having the Carvery, skip breakfast. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great service. Would definitely recommend a visit. Check opening time though so you're not caught out.

Having not been here for a long while, 4 sixty somethings decided to go out for lunch. On arrival we were able to sit at our preferred table and ordered drinks, then food. We all chose the carvery which is served Wednesday to Friday, we found it very tasty and above all hot. We were asked twice if the meal was ok and we had no complaints, it’s not the cheapest but the food was worth every penny.

It's the first time in a long time that I've been, when they used to be their own beers in a micro brewery. That's all gone and it now seems to be a mediocre pub specialising in food.

A nice enough carvery but not as good as in previous years. For example, there was no turkey option, even in late December. Reasonable value though.

Great old pub with a wonderful open fire in the snug and very popular Sunday roasts. The bar manager is a great asset to the pub.

Delicious carvery for Sunday lunch. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Be warned....the puddings are huge and the sticky toffee pudding was 😋 yummy

We were invited to a friends surprise birthday party and fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and it’s stunning chandeliers. The service was excellent and the party couldn’t have gone better.

A lovely traditional village pub. We called in after a visit to Calke Abbey, we weren't sure if food was available but were served some great sandwiches to go with our drinks. A pity we don't live clo

Very consumer focused which makes a nice experience when ordering/collecting. We collect as live locally and we have never had a bad meal. Food is always hot and full of flavour.
