Sycamore Inn in Derbyshire Dales

Great choice for lunch out. After a pleasant walk through the beautiful countryside of Derbyshire, we stopped for lunch and so glad we did. A wide choice of dishes hot and cold from salads to mezes to traditional burgers, plus lots, lots more including suitable choices of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. I opted for the delicious chicken with tagliatelle. A generous helping. Good range of drinks from typical traditional ales to cocktails and wines, plus many non-alcoholic alternatives. Or simply coffee or tea. Overall, a pleasant lunch in a beautiful Derbyshire village.

Great meal with friendly staff. GF friendly too. Just make sure that you book in advance. We booked for Tuesday at 18:00 and when we arrived they were turning people who hadn't booked away. Although we did not bring our mutt, they were made very welcome.

I was recommended this place by a friend and we went tonight. We hadn’t booked a table unfortunately so when we arrived they said they would try and fit us in but we would have to wait awhile. We were more than happy to wait. We had a drink and sat by a lovely open fire. Before we were even half way down our drink. They had managed to get us a table. The food was absolutely gorgeous homemade,fresh,large portions and piping hot. Couldn’t fault it. Unfortunately I just didn’t have room for a dessert but my sons did and said again they were lovely. The atmosphere was so homely and welcoming. We will be back again.

The best fish pie I have ever eaten. Lovely cozy atmosphere. Despite being very busy the food did not take too long. And there’s a cute dog and cat.

Bit late submitting this, but life has been hectic. We were staying nearby for the late May Bank Holiday weekend. 23 of us in total, from 8 months to 75, so decided to book for the Sunday lunch. We're not an easy group, children, vegetarians and vegans in the mix, but the pub did us proud. We had preordered which helped. It was REALLY busy being a holiday weekend, and the food was a little bit late, but it was well worth the wait. For each course, everybody's arrived at the same time, which is no mean feat with such a big party. The food was really good. My daughter in law said it was the best Sunday dinner she'd ever had. As one of the vegetrians I was a bit disappointed that the choice for the roast was only sausages rather than something like a nut roast, but everything else was perfect and huge dishes of vegetables to share . My son and granddaughter are both Leeds United fans and were a bit nervous about missing the playoff that day, but the pub put us in the room with the big secreen and sat us at 2 long tables uderneath it, so they were very happy, apart from the result! ALL the staff were really friendly and helpful and there was a great atmosphere in the place. if ever we are staying in the area again, I would definitley eat here. Thank for looking after us all so well.

Have visited this pub before for their amazing Sunday Roasts. This time was for the Grill Night. The food was outstanding, plenty of it and beautifully cooked! Fabulous service and great value. Would highly recommend. Thank you Kirsty and team 😀👍

Great find at the bottom of our garden! We had the chicken skewers and lamb shank followed by ice cream and mini eggs as it was Easter weekend! What a great meal the staff were very friendly and the fire was gorgeous and helped us dry off from all of the wet walks! Can’t recommended this place enough! Even our dog Enzo enjoyed his time there although he was a bit edgy with Bess the Basset hound! Thank you for a great meal and evening!

Nice big car park with playground for children on the front lawn. Welcoming friendly traditional pub with open fire. Delicious sounding menu and a good selection of drinks. Cajun chicken kebabs and blade of beef were delicious and well presented as well as fish & chips from kid's menu. Few locals popping in for a drink, inclusive some on a tractor! We called in at last minute while on holidays.

This pub is a little gem in the beautiful village of Parwich, we travelled an hour and a half to eat here. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, the fires make it so cosy and the food is amazing, value for money and so tasty. The portions are large. We shared the garlic mushrooms and honey mustard sausages between four of us to start, the sauce on the mushrooms was incredible (I need that recipe ! ) then two of us had the lamb, one steak and ale pie and one corn fed chicken supreme, all of which were so tasty and an absolute delight. We will be returning again, beautiful place and lots of lovely walks nearby 😃.

Not visited for a few years so it was great to revisit. A lovely pub with very hearty food. The blade of beef was awesome. Will be returning!

Brillant food we had the italian burger and the feather blade beer both were amazing and the flavours were fantastic would recommend for sure for anyone visiting the Peak District.

We went for the steak night, I honestly have never eaten a better steak, nor better richer more flavoursome side dishes. This place, the chef, and the staff deserve accolades for producing food like this. Thank you for making our evening.

Visited as part of a group after a long walk. We were really impressed by the quality of the food, which was amazing. Generous portions of well cooked food served on warm plates with excellent vegetables, which were freshly cooked, piping hot and retaining crispness. The mashed potatoes were the best ever eaten in a pub. Nice atmosphere, very clean. Will be back, definitely.

Lovely pub - cosy setting. Beer is good. Nice staff. Great pie. Service just too slow though - most of an hour to get food. Maybe a bad day.

We had a Friday night, family meal here. The children ordered small fish and chips and a burger, unlike other places that seem to think kids want processed versions of the real thing it was beautiful pieces of cod with crispy batter and a good quality burger. Adults had chicken skewers, pork fillet and a cod dish. All of it was beautiful and certainly the best pub food any of us have had in a long time. For anyone that has room, the puddings are equally stunning. In fact even if you don’t have room I’d recommend the biscotti cheesecake which was so nice none of even spoke to each other whilst eating it! Honestly this place has it all, brilliant staff, excellent food and lovely surroundings. There are also some of the most beautiful walks in the Peak District in the area if you need to walk the cheesecake off!

Lovely pub with smashing food...make sure you are hungry as portions are big. Lovely and friendly staff. Great atmosphere and will definitely go back if in area . There is also a well stocked shop in there which is open same times as the pub ..very useful

Absolutely beautiful pub, food was amazing, staff were so welcoming. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.👌 👌👌

We had a wonderful meal at the Sycamore, all of our friends enjoyed their meal, portions were a good size, and the food was tasty, piping hot and well presented ( loved the serving bowls) We saved room for pudding and they were equally delicious. The staff were friendly and the fires kept well stoked on a cold winters night. Thank you, we will be back.

Great service as we pre ordered the food was on the table very quickly I had the steak pie chips and veg I would probably say the best steak pie I've ever had the chips were cooked to perfection, plus a whole bowl of veg, carrots, sugar snap peas, French beans, red cabbage, broccoli, and sprouts, I was so full but had to try a pudding treacle sponge and custard, which was equally as good as the main course, Overall great value for money will deffinatly be going back And to top it all off the pub is beautifully decorated for Christmas inside and out

We were given a map of a walk by our holiday resort and the Sycamore Inn was given as a suggestion to stop for lunch. Wow, we’re so glad we did. Lovely welcome, a roaring fire, and beautifully decorated for Christmas. I had the ox cheek, which was excellent, and my husband had the pie, all served with perfectly cooked veg. The only downside was that we were so full we couldn’t fit in a pudding!

What a lovely place Christmas decorations were awesome had lunch and starter the food was excellent can't rate this place high enough thank you to the staff for making us welcome x

Well we started with an extremely muddy walk from our resort 🙈And wanted a well deserved alcohol beverage and a warm meal🙂OMG we had a lovely welcome and our wonderful dog Del was so welcomed🙂fantastic staff, Fabulous food and locals sooo friendly 😀 Bassett the pub dog is a star will definitely be back🙌x

Visited today with family/ friends for Sunday lunch. Absolutely delicious. Large portion sizes and good prices. Second time we have been and well worth the journey over. Will be back again.

Halloween visit, we came last year and the garden was made up. Not so many outdoor decks but the food… plentiful and tasty, food value

Amazing amazing amazing what more can we say Food was phenomenal excellent portions freshly cooked and really good value for money Would recommend this pub to family and friends without a second thought Will our waiter was efficient and friendly exactly what you ask for from staff Please try this pub The only downside is we live in Kent and it’s a long way to come for Sunday lunch

The Sunday lunch portions are huge and extremely nice. definetly recommend. Great family vibe and dog friendly too.

We booked ahead as we were staying in the village, bagged a table next to a super multifuel stove. Wife and I fancied the Cumberland Scotch Egg, a little while later they arrived - a full egg in half, greens and a pot of loveliness to go with it, really good flavour and nice and hot. Then came the mains, wife had the Steak and Ale pie (obviously home made) fantastic chips and peas, mine was the stuffed pork fillet, which came with mash, gravy and separate veg - carrot, green beans and my favourite red cabbage! Feeling stuffed sweets were ordered - creme brulee for the wife and Biscoff cheesecake for me. Added to this was the local beer Trooper and great lager, a fine meal was had. Will we be back, you bet we will!!!!!!!

Would have liked to have eaten here but were thwarted twice! First was after trying to get through by phone (unanswered) we walked down to find it closed due to new floor being installed and got soaked on the walk back. Secondly after finally getting through to ask what time food was being served, walked down again to be told - no, we’re fully booked! Why not say we needed to book when we phoned! Not happy and will not try a third time!

Stayed in Parwich for a couple of days and walked down the road to the Sycamore Inn. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. A mix of locals and visitors. Excellent food. Planned to take a photo or two of the good sized portions but it looked so delicious. Had already got stuck in to eating it before I remembered. Thoroughly recommend

We visited the Sycamore Inn twice for lunch during a recent stay in Parwich over New Year. The menu and service were excellent, food portions were very generous and we did struggle to finish our meals and we didn’t have room for dessert.

Met up with wife’s brother and sister in law for lunch at the sycamore inn . What a fab pub with equally fab food . What a brilliant find .

Gem of a village pub, friendly staff,dog friendly and food of a very good standard. All in all a very good experience,would have had a return visit if it wasn't at the end of our little break.
