Jug & Glass Inn in Amber Valley

First visit to the Jug and Glass under new ownership and wow what a difference. The pub still has its old charm inside, traditional bar, log fires with a facelift outside. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive and it was lovely to see Jake the owner helping out too. We all enjoyed a proper traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings, extra gravy and stuffing. We couldn’t fault any of it. All freshly cooked and served. Family and dog friendly with a good mix of locals and new customers. We will definitely visit again.

Arrived around 4pm with a good atmosphere in this hostelry. Having seen the food being served decided to ask at the Bar for a table and being told 6 pm onwards would be difficult( a good sign) so plumped for 5-30 and how glad we were we had. Service was brilliant and we enjoyed our Lasagne and Proper Steak n ale pie. Learned that the place had been took on by a new proprietor and the people of Lea and surroundings need to get behind this business as we found our experience excellent. Good Luck to you all.

First visit to the jug & glass , and we will be back , had the sharing ploughmans , it was huge and couldnt eat it all , so they gave us a takeaway box so we could take back with us .The staff were so friendly . They had log fires burning . Fab little pub

Absolutely amazing friendly greeting on arrival, taken straight to our seats open fire very friendly settings. waitress service for the drinks excellent menu we all ordered Sunday roasts … plenty of choice,presentation excellent service excellent, food tasted amazing. Very generous portions also plenty of fresh vegetables nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend the jug and glass. Also there are rooms to stay overnight and they are beautifully set out as well 10 out of 10 excellent …

A lovely Sunday lunch A very warm welcome by the lovely staff plus the log burner 😂 we will be telling all our friends about it. Plus we will be back very soon thank you staff and Jake

Tried twice now and sent away, no explanation as it was lunch time, some people eating and plenty of tables. Very rude staff. Listened to someone trying to get information but he kept being referred to their Facebook page. No help.

Visited yesterday lunch time with my good friend. We had the ploughman's to share which was spectacular and very generous! The girl behind the bar was very friendly and gave us some wonderful walking suggestions great knowledge of the local area. Outside area is a sun trap, very peaceful. We'll be back!

Great tapas, excellent wine choice and friendly staff. We had a really great night. The new owners are trying so hard to make this work and it shows. Lovely evening Thankyou

Booked a table over a week ago to have a meal with friends. It took 20 minutes to be served & shown to our table. The table can only be described as a thin school bench, half the width of a normal dining table and not large enough for 4 adults. A burger menu was produced, which we weren’t interested in so we then had to request their usual menu. We also asked if we could be moved as we explored to the waitress, it would be very difficult for us all to eat together in such a small space. The waitress then told us we don’t have to eat at the pub and can leave if we want! We did exactly that, as the shocking manner of the waitress was the icing on the cake after the table shock. Appreciate, the pub were catering mainly for people watching the football, but we were local paying customers who felt our treatment was awful. We will not be visiting again, or recommending the pub to friends or family in the area.

Called in for a meal got there at 7pm and it took for ever to get served. In fact we left at 10 past 9 And there seemed to be more dogs than humans it’s the barking that’s irritating especially when we are trying to eat

A lovely stay at the Jug and Glass. Rooms were compact but clean and had everything you needed. Breakfast was tasty with cereals to start and a varied menu including porridge, smoked salmon and scrambled egg and a full English. We ate here on both nights and food was fresh and well cooked. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Lea is a lovely,quiet village and a good base. Lea gardens is worth a visit especially when the rhododendrons are flowering.

My partner & I popped in here on our way home from the gym after a hefty session so we were famished. Never been here before I don't usually pass it but was re-routed due to a road closure. We didn't book but luckily they were able to accommodate us. Staff were very friendly & the pub is nice & cosy with 2 or 3 different rooms decorated quite aptly for it's period. Carpet, beams, fires etc. We were sat in the most modern room in the pub which was also the lightest, airiest. They didn't have a poultry option, which would be my usual choice being a flexitarian & rarely eating beef or pork. I chose pork purely because my last experience or a roast beef Sunday lunch at the Greyhound in Cromford was not the best. It was a good choice (as was the beef it turned out, which is what my partner ordered) mashed potato & roast potatoes, something I'm a fan of, Yorkshire pudding was optional addition to the pork choice & was lovely. Gravy was good, I prefer mine thicker but personal preference, it was tasty, which is key! plenty of traditional veg . Good ales on draught! Very good & I would definitely return.

We ended up staying here by accident and what a great find! Beautiful surroundings, really friendly landlord/landlady and a comfortable stay. We had dinner (braised beef and paprika chicken), simple but wholesome home cooked food and delicious (breakfast was perfect too). The cheese platter was not on the menu but the chef put something delicious together for us. It is obvious that great care is taken with regards every aspect, both food, cleanliness, attentiveness (from all staff) etc. We are definitely coming back and would highly recommend this pub. There also looks to be quite a few walks in the immediate vicinity. The only thing missing was a bedside lamp!

We happened to visit this pub for a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago, and the food looked incredible, so we decided to come back and give it a try. Wow, this did not disappoint! Three of us had the steak pie, and one had the beef short rib. The meat in both was super tender and full of taste. The portion size is perfect. Anyone looking for beautiful hearty food, this is the place to go! Wish I had taken a picture of the food but we just couldn’t wait to tuck in!

We stayed for a couple of nights while visiting friends nearby. It’s a lovely traditional country pub with really friendly owners. The village is very quiet at night and it’s very peaceful The breakfast was good and the evening meals were really nice. Very good real ales on tap too. Would definitely come again if we are heading to the Peak again.

We came for a family meal here for my Grandad’s birthday, when stopping just up the road for the weekend. We had a large booking, so sometimes meals and timings etc can be tricky…this was not the case- everything was amazing! They seated us all in our own little room at the side of the bar with a small serving bar hatch. The owners/staff were lovely and made us feel really welcome! There was a great selection of drinks that were fairly priced. We ordered food and majority of us had steak pie, chips and peas. This was the best pie we have ever had! The meat was fresh and locally sourced, chips were cooked to perfection and even the peas were the best yet (I don’t know why or how, but they were). If we are ever in the area again then we will defiantly be back for sure!!

Met up for a family get-together - party of 9 Very welcoming atmosphere and staff. Menu is quite limited but there is something for all tastes and, most importantly, the quality is good. Beer was very well kept. Would definitely visit again when we are in the area

Fantastic little spot. Views surrounding are incredible. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are immaculate and very cosy. Breakfast was beautiful. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Stayed for a couple of nights, a traditional well maintained pub, excellent friendly and helpful staff, lovely relaxing environment and excellent food, adapted for my wife's gluten free needs without any fuss, would thoroughly recommend.

friendly atmosphere and really thoughtful staff. Food marvellous and impressed with quality of meat and service provided.

Lovely typically English pub. Friendly helpful staff. Clean tidy room. Tasty large breakfast. Great value. Would go again.

Stayed here for three nights..staff very welcoming and friendly. Nothing too much trouble. Room very clean and well equipped. Food extremely good.

We had an overnight stay here last week and were made to feel extremely welcome & they kindly allowed us to park our motorbikes out of sight overnight, rather than in the carpark. The evening meal was delicious & the service was excellent. The bedrooms were very very clean & comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Visited here for drinks in mid April 22. A very pleasant village pub with decent lager and beer. Some outside seating. I will return when next in the area

Definitely one to avoid. Stopped for a drink on way home and looked ok from outside, inside however is a different matter. The atmosphere is the most unwelcoming I have ever experienced as you get stared at as though you are intruding on a private function. All the tables have a reserved sign on so there is no where to sit unless I suspect if you are a local regular customer and the staff could be possibly more accommodating. Both the landlord and landlady(I presume) are so dismissive and curt and seem to have no understanding of the concept of hospitality.

I was a part of a large party that booked Sunday lunch on 3 April 2022. We had a wonderful meal. Service was very personal, with no problems catering for a large number of people. The staff were calm and very friendly and nothing was...

Had a family evening meal here recently, good selection of food including children’s meals, very reasonable prices including drinks. A very hospitable host who made us most welcome, seating inside for approximately 50 people and 25 outside under cover.

Staying locally and wanting lunch I rang or looked up several places to find they either didn’t serve food at lunch or only opened at weekends. Not so the Jug. We’d walked the Cromford Canal so drove up to Lea and was pleasantly surprised to...

Thank you for making my son’s birthday special. We had a great time, the food and service was brilliant. The safety guidelines were stringent and we all felt safe and relaxed. What a team they make.

We called in for a drink. It was great to see what they had done to make use safe from Covid 19. I will recommend this to everyone

Saturday 4th July, first pub beer for months, we ventured to the Jug & Glass.Very impressed with the Covid preparations, very reassured by the professional standards of friendly staff.We & our bubble friends felt very safe and confident & wish to thank the staff.

We came as a couple with our grandaughter .Over the years we have had fab food here but tonight Im so dissapointed .Service was good and friendly . Alas No check back on food and if there was I would of complained . Chips were massacred and had no potato in and you could snap them . Steak was overcooked and gristly. The mushrooms were deep fried and tasteless. Sauce was watery .I did advise that the chips were really bad and to be honest I got no feed back . £60 down on a below average meal that I could of got better at Ping Ping chain .To be honest the starters were great so not all bad . Didnt have desert as we were dissapointed . Unfortunate be we wont be back

Lovely and friendly pub/restaurant Food was beautiful and there was good variety of dishes. Definitely recommend

Lovely clean room. Very nice atmosphere and food was lovely. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Matlock but close enough to visit. Lovely hosts too.

The second we walked in staff were welcoming. Food was delicious. My daughter couldn't decide between halloumi or chicken skewers so was made a mixture which pleased her! Nothing was too much trouble and we were treated like friends rather than customer. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Really helpful staff with a sense of humour who coped well with the banter. We had pre-ordered and they produced the meal almost as soon as we had all arrived. Basic pub grub cooked very well and all ingredients very fresh and tasty

Visited the Jug and Glass for the first time tonight, greeted by friendly welcoming staff and chose a table in lovely historic surroundings. Our waiter was a lovely young man who was professional and friendly. He was extremely polite to two other guests who were overly demanding, he deserved a gold star! Our meal was beautiful, chefs liver pate was the best! We will definately return and look forward to our next visit. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Went to the Jug & Glass for an evening meal & couldn’t fault it.I had mixed grill which was cooked to perfection & plentiful,my partner had the pork hanging skewer with garlic butter & that to was lovely.The chips that accompanied the meal were also to die for.We also had desserts which were equally amazing.The staff were very very friendly & helpful (Kate).I would certainly recommend a visit if your in the area,you won’t be disappointed.

This was a large family get-together, we all had a different meal.Mine was butterfly chicken with chips and it was awful. I suspect the tiny piece of very dry chicken had been microwaved, and most of the sad-looking chips were uneatable due to black spots on them.Those who had the curry said it was watery and a bit tasteless.Another in our party left almost the entire meal, sadly, I didn't take note of what meal she had.The staff were friendly and prompt considering that it was quite busy and very cramped.This was our second visit and sadly, it will be our last....I would recommend the Jug & Glass for drinks, especially in good weather, when you can sit outside in very pretty surroundings. But I can't recommend the food, sorry.

We were a group of five very wet walkers and one equally wet dog. We could not have been made more welcome. The beers were excellent and the fish pie was the perfect antidote to the world outside.

We tried this pub restaurant after a very disappointing meal the night before in another pub nearby and our faith in local food was restored. Excellent choice, tasty food served by very nice staff. Good ambiance and speedy service. We will be back!

We were staying in Lea for my father's 79th birthday and decided to gave lunch in the pub. The service was great, they coped admirably with our large party and the good was perfect. I'm really grateful that they let us mark the birthday with cake and candles too. Thank you.

Every time I go to the Jug and Glass it hits the nail on the head: the food is good; the drink selection varied and well kept; the ambience is that of a pleasant, village pub, and the locals, landlord and staff very friendly in their down-to-earth, Derbyshire way.

This cosy pub is a typical countryside boozer. Reasonable choice of drinks and the opportunity to meet locals who welcome new visitors. Haven’t tried the food or B&B; service however I would expect this would be fine to use.

Our group had the 2 course weekday lunch menu @ £8.95. All the starters and mains were exceptionally good. Dog friendly.Warm cosy log burner. Welcoming efficient landlord, good service. Our first visit, we will return.

We came with friends and their (multiple, young) children for Sunday lunch. As a big group, they put us in a separate room, which was wise on their part as the children were very well behaved, but children (noisy). I ordered the goats cheese lasagne which was a revelation! So delicious, that I want to try and make my own. It was about £13, so not too bad, but not cheap either. Overall, I’d recommend this place for the food.

This is a proper English Village Pub. With a good choice of real ale, home cooked food with staff that care about delivering a good customer experience.

Planned lunch for 12 persons on a lovely autumn walk. We had pre-ordered our food from an extensive menu. The landlord suggested we had a front room to ourselves which also had access to the bar. We were a little early so we bought some beer (at least 4 good beers to choose from) and expected to wait some time. However, the starters came quickly followed by the mains in a timely manner. Half the party availed themselves of the two course set lunch and the others had a mains from the a-la-carte menu. All thought the food was of excellent taste and quality.

Friendly staff and clean if basic accommodation. Breakfast fine. Other guests showed little consideration for residents in neighbouring rooms, and were very loud and raucous late at night, which spoilt the stay.

Lovely place to go for a drink! The staff warm and welcome great atmosphere and lovely views! Was very busy so it looks like they know how to treat customers ! I enjoyed my time in this pub!

Booked a table for 7 of us plus the dog. Welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere. Good range of food, including GF and vegetarian. Food was absolutely excellent; beef medalions, child's scampi, lamb rogan josh, vegetable lasagne, all of our meals were top notch. Creme brulee was smooth and creamy. Would definitely book to dine here again. Only suggestion would be to have a dairy free custard/cream option as we had a dairy free young diner with us but to be fair, we didn't ask if there was a dairy free option and maybe there was one.

Whenever I visit this pub I always receive a great welcome. All the staff are friendly and helpful even when they’re busy.

Great location, quiet region and not far from Matlock. Nice room, very nice view at the hills. Very good dinners, enough choice and a very reasonable price. Service is very good and enough parking places

Visited the Jug & Glass in whilst staying in a nearby B&B;, it was a last minute booking on a busy Saturday but they managed to fit us in which was appreciated.

Omg this place is amazing ....it was my partners 60th I book this for a meal with the old mill and cottage ...all the staff are amazing ...nothing was to much ...complements to the chef ....our meals was amazing ....lovely bar man ...thank for making his 60th special

Ate here on 2 nights and good selection of food and beers / wines, would recommend (May need to book as gets quite busy)

Lovely spot and the wine was nice but the food often disappoints particularly at the price. Keep giving them the benefit of the doubt as they are our local but keep getting let down. Ordered a halloumi and falafel salad. The salad was drowned in olive oil, the croutons were cooked in get that was too cold and hence we very greasy, I had a slice of cucumber that was that slimy bit at the end of and old cucumber, the pepper was dehydrated and shrivelled and the halloumi was just cut into two huge hunks (not slices) and barely grilled. The kids meals were ok but at 6.95 for two tiny dishes and a bit of mash and beans you'd hope so. The fish and chips were ok but difficult to get wrong.

Dropped in at the Jug & Glass Inn while walking in the area with friends. This friendly traditional pub was a welcome rest at the end of our circular walk around Lea and Holloway. With an outside seating area and a good range of ales and a couple of ciders this was a refreshing break. Didn't eat this time but the food being served looked very good and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals......Food next time...

Four of us walked to the Jug and Glass from the cottage we were renting for the weekend. As soon as we entered there was a cozy feel about the place. There was a room to the left laid out as a restaurant, we walked forward towards the bar and spotted a small snug to the right with a small bar in the corner.

7 of us turned up without booking. We were given a good table in our own space. Food was good ( I had the hanging kebab skewer which I have not seen before and enjoyed). Would recommend if you like good pub food. Decent selection of ales.

Visité recientemente con un grupo grande de amigos. La bienvenida fue cálida y nos dieron una habitación donde podíamos comer en conjunto con un poco de reorganización de los muebles. Comí el curry vegetariano, que era muy agradable y una buena porción. En todo el mundo hecho parecía disfrutar de la comida que había elegido. Fue un buen lugar para comer, incluso con unas copas y algunas personas tener entrantes ni los budines no costo de la tierra. Yo sería feliz de nuevo.

Estábamos en otro lugar en el pueblo pero la jarra de cristal y fue recomendado y muy práctico. Mi esposa y yo compartimos la casera de pollo paté de hígado y Cointreau como entrante, que no era nada especial, a diferencia de nuestros platos principales.

Out with family (6 of us), mother 95, stopped for a leisurely lunch, food was really good good sized portions, we especially like the hanging skewers obviously someone had been to Maderia (espetada) service good with friendly staff compliments to the chef who also assisted front of house as was very busy. We thought competitly priced. Well done.

We've eaten here a few times, and it is friendly with generous portions of good home made pub food, and traditional British puddings, with a good range of beers in a lovely location.

Llegamos a la jarra de cristal y los sábados por la tarde, con altas expectativas. Por desgracia nos decepcionó mucho, la habitación era de mala calidad, aunque el propietario se disculpó profusamente se disculpó era totalmente inadecuado.

Yo siempre vamos a la jarra y Vaso cuando vuelva a Derbyshire a visitar a mis padres.

Mis amigos y yo disfrutamos de un almuerzo de domingo en absolutamente preciosa 19 de febrero de 2017. Éramos un grupo de 17 mujeres que estaban lejos de la animada el fin de semana y cerca en Lea Hall. Todos disfrutamos de nuestro almuerzo de...

Deliciosos entrantes de queso de cabra y paté. Comida principal era un filete preciosa y una fantástica salsa sin embargo las patatas fritas congeladas sin duda estropeado. . . . . No esperes patatas fritas congeladas cuando se paga 17 libras por un bistec

I was part of a group of five people, friends and family who visited this pub on Saturday night. We'd never been before and only intended to stop for one or two drinks to sample the atmosphere of a nice, quiet country pub.We we're served by a young lad and, although he didn't do anything wrong as such, he certainly could have been a little more welcoming.We sat down and began talking between us. I don't feel we were at all loud or boisterous and we were conscious that there were two couples sat nearby who were also trying to enjoy a quiet chat.However, almost as soon as we had sat down an older man appeared (the landlord, possibly) and he stood facing us, arms folded, looking us up and down and scowling. For the majority of our time there he kept a close, suspicious eye on us.A little later two more people arrived, presumably staff members and, as they whispered to each they regularly turned and stared in our direction.To be fair, they didn't appear to make any efforts to be friendly towards any of the other customers either, with the exception of a Jack Russel who got a warm welcome.I have never felt so unwelcome in a pub.We finished our drinks and got out of there and neither of us have any plans to return which, I'm guessing will suit the staff just fine. It would be interesting to know what exactly we had done wrong, however. Was it purely because we were not from that village?

Have been several times now and always come away happy, a choice of beers plus the standard and good food at a reasonable price

We were there with 5 adults, 3 kids and a baby and we accommodated (probably wisely!) in a separate room off the bar. The service was good and the food was excellent. Good kids menu and the hanging kebabs are recommended!

We live 3 miles (walk) from this pub and use it as our preferred walk and lunch venue from home when friends visit. Quality beer, friendly welcome and pretty decent pub grub make it a good spot especially if the weather works for sitting outside. Also been for dinner which is homely rather than great but certainly nothing to criticise. They make some effort to be a bit "trendy" but good steaks, pies and (from friend's recommendation) fish pie are worth a try. Definitely staying on my regular visit list.

Service could have been quicker, but they managed to cater for a very large group, and the food was good when it arrived. A popular atmospheric pub, with generous and well presented food.

I live in Hong Kong but return to Derbyshire to see family two or three times a year. A visit (or more than one) to the Jug and Glass is always on the list of things to do when I'm back. Every visit I have always had a warm welcome and good food at reasonable prices. My eight-year-old son loves the place and is always remembered by the landlord despite only coming back once a year. This is a gem of a traditional country inn that deserves all the custom it can get.

What a lovely pub/bar please give it a try. Fantastic staff and great food. No bulls*it genuinely brilliant drinks, food and service. New favourite little gem of a place! Thanks

We live not far from the jug and glass and often visit at weekend for a leisurely pint. We had a German visitor staying with us and decided to go to jug and glass for an evening meal on a Saturday night. Although they were busy and we had not booked we quickly had a table, drinks and a menu in front of us. We decided on our food which was delivered promptly and well presented. Very enjoyable evening at a very reasonable price. Thank-you jug and glass.

Nice greeting and friendly service.Lunch was ok and reasonably enjoyable.Lamb Rogan Josh and Fish pie both nice but a little dearer than some pubs with nothing extra for the increased price.There was no pie available so on leaving I said that I would like to return and try the 'Homemade' pie on the board only to be informed that none were available because they had not been delivered !!!!!Chef not capable?

we booked in advance for an evening meal for 26, Landlord gave us a private room.The food was excellent, service cannot be faulted. They coped exceedingly well with our large group, all food tasty, well presented.Choice of local hand pulled ales.The pub was a short walk uphill from Pear tree farm where we were staying, just far enough to work up a thirst /appetite.If you are in the area this pub is a must if you like a real olde English pub, with great staff

I have never ever complained before but I've just visited this pub on our way home, it's just been taken over by a very rude woman ,I went in to ask if they served food which the manager told me she did, I walked in with my partner and 14 month of daughter, we ordered drinks and food, paid immediately, I then asked for a high chair to which she said they didn't have any, we were the only customers in the pub the last couple just left on our way in, our food came, our little girl was walking around with a chip in her hand,the manager came over and asked us very rudely to put our daughter on a chair as she didn't want dirty fingers all over her new furniture, she said I should of asked if I could bring a child into the pub when I asked if they served food, but when I pointed out she had children's menus on the bar so why would I have asked that question, I said to her this is the only pub I've been into where they don't have high chairs, she told me If it was a problem to bring my own, and she didn't have to supply high chairs if she didnt want to,who may I ask puts a high chair in the car ?? Also how can I put a 14 month on a pub chair with no harness, we left our half eaten food and left,on the way out I said to the new manager I was going to write a letter to the local paper because she was that rude and if it was a problem to have children in the pub she should remove the children's menus from the bar as clearly she didn't want any her nice new clean pub, to which she replied " do you think I'm bothered" well you should be, your not going to last very long running a pub with that kind of attitude, the food was average not home cooked, the beef on the Sunday dinner was wafer thin the pre- packed version, chips and roast potates were the same, shame it's a nice pub in a nice spot just got a foul-mouthed new manager, and they need ASAP a " NO CHILDREN" sign on the front door

A beautiful old country pub/restaurant that allows dogs in the bar area. Good selection of beers and a good range of choices on the menu. Not over priced.

Stopped here for lunch whilst on a walk. It was a Friday lunchtime and sadly the place was very quiet but times are hard in the pub world. Friendly barman/ landlord and a good choice of food from full meals to light bites. My chilli was delicious.This place is how pubs should be - traditionally decorated, welcoming and serving good food.I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again if I'm in the area.

I went to the Jug and Glass with some old (average age about 75) friends on a Saturday in June. There were about 18 of us. We had pre-booked and placed our orders in advance - only fair to do this with such a large party.The food choice was good and everyone was very pleased with the quality of their dish and the size of the portions. I had a Steak Pie and it had marvelous pastry and superb meat.I hope to find the chance to go again - and preferably when not driving as the bar environment and the range of beers was very tempting. The team coped well with the numbers and got the food out to us all very promptly.

We walked here from Manor Farm B&B up the hill. What a delightful experience that was through the sheep fields and woods. We were all tired from traveling and this dinner was one of the best we have had. Great traditional Pub food and a good selection of ciders and beer. The waiter had a wonderful sense of humor and we spent the night eating and drinking. Very good fish and chips, chicken and cheeses. Cozy place. This is the second time we have been here and it is better than before.

Have been here several times recently for an evening meal with friends. This is a lovely, friendly, traditional pub with a lovely, people-focussed atmosphere. If you like a musak-free pub with a burning log fire, you will love The Jug. The beers change, but are all excellent. The food is lovely, though prices seem to be creeping up and the menu hasn't changed for months. But, if you want a meal with friends where the atmosphere is great and the staff are welcoming you'll do well to better The Jug & Glass

One of my frequently visited pubs. Cozy atmosphere with log fire, hearty pub grub like cheese and pickle baguettes, fish and chips, landlord is a lovely man even though we tease him rather a lot ;)

We were stopping at the local Manor Farm B&B and the Jug and Glass was recommended. It is a terrific local pub. The food was good for both veggies and meat eaters and not too expensive. (a new chef seems to have made a difference). There is a good range of beers on offer. The restaurant area was cosy but we prefer to eat in the bar. The locals were really friendly including the owner who joined everyone in the bar. The pub is comfortable like a pair of favourite slippers....terrific evening!

we called in as we were having a recce of the area for our family get together in September.This is a real pub with restaurant attached, has a nice cosy feel with real ales on tap. and a good selection of food on the menu, from sandwiches to full menu.We ordered drinks and food , we both decided on steak pie, choice chips or potatoes, mushy or garden peas.After a short wait meals arrived, real chips and fresh peas and a steak pie, with real pastry and real steak, devoured every bit.Choice of sweets, but as it was supposed to be a lunch time snack, declined.We will return in september

I dined here with my parents on Saturday night, whilst we were staying in Derbyshire last week.Although the place was busy & pretty much fully booked, we were still able to get a table.We were very well looked after by Owen (the man who served us) I enjoyed the Marston's Pedigree bitter (2 pints) the pate starter was great, as was the warm chicken & bacon salad I ordered for main course.All in all, another good place I can recommend to eat at if you're ever in the area.

Pub grub, nice building with nice personel and a good selection of food but it was lacking something to give this that little extra to make it stand out as pub food. Daily special of crab had rocket salad which over powers it and is not for everybody. Chicken mushroom pie was good. But all I over a touch expensive for pub grub.

The food here is delicious, a very good menu and value for money, definitely recommend the food here. The starter of goats cheese, honey and walnuts is really delicious, definitely recommend
