This pub is the very reason we holiday in Matlock Bath at least 3 times a year, the drinks are spectacular, good traditional ales, expert and attentive bar staff. The food is to die for, and, although might seem expensive is actually so underrated and underpriced. The rib eye steak and ploughman’s are to die for, we would happily pay TWICE the price for this quality and service. Keep it up fishpond - you are the best.

Food was nice, but insanely overpriced, even by today's standards. £16 for the katsu vegan burger, lots of description on the menu but came with just a 'McDonald's saver menu' amount of salad on the burger, chips and a small pot of katsu sauce to dip. For the price, it needed something like onion rings at the very least as well, especially considering the humongous plates of carvery that cost LESS! And husband and mother in law both noted the gravy on the carvery was very salty. The rest of the carvery was good, but the price for the burger alone (and yes, even considering it was a beyond meat burger) just makes it almost impalatable, which is a shame.

Went here for Sunday lunch. The meat, gravy, vegetables, and Yorkshire puddings were good. The stuffing was awful - it didn't taste of anything, no seasoning at all. I'm going to buy them a box of Paxo and teach the chef how flavourful stuffing should be. Also, you only get one Yorkshire pudding for a £17 meal. That's pretty much criminal. For £17 you should have as many Yorkshires as you want. So, some good, some bad, all in all its 3/5.

Great place for Sunday carvery! We booked late Saturday because we were looking for somewhere offering late roasts - carvery is open 12 till 5. We managed to change our booking despite it being Easter Sunday. We went for mainly carvery and one children's meal, though they do offer children's carvery. Plenty of meat on warm plates, great selection of veg and condiments, delicious gravy. Good range of drinks. All in all very good experience!

We had lunch and a couple of pints and weren't disappointed. The bar staff were all friendly and gave us a warm welcome. We didn't have long to wait for our food, the nachos and pizza were awesome and I had to leave half of my side of chips - the portions are hearty so wear your stretchy pants! The pub had a nice atmosphere and the customers in the bar were friendly and made a fuss of our dogs, and bar staff gave our dogs their own bowl of water which was appreciated. We'll definitely return, thanks guys!

Visited here for Friday lunch after previously visiting about a year ago which was very good. Afraid this time we were slightly disappointed. We had the fish and chips and burger meal’s and found the homemade chips a little undercooked and the burger lukewarm, rest of the food was okay, we put it down to being early and possibly the first customers for lunch but it shouldn’t make any difference. Staff were friendly and the place itself clean and we will visit again later in the day perhaps.

I went on the recommendation of my son who said he had the best loaded fries here. It was a sunny Sunday so I knew it would be busy, so we booked a table online. Despite the place being absolutely rammed, we were served quickly and the staff were all friendly. The food was really good. Actually better than I was expecting. The loaded fries were indeed great and I had the chilli beef which was lovely. We ended up asking for takeaway boxes because we had a lot left. Prices were reasonable for where we were and what we got.

If you want a fantastic carvery in a beautiful location then this is the place to be. The staff at the Fishpond are most welcoming, friendly and the establishment is ran like a well-oiled machine. There is a very relaxed ambience and it's such a nice place to be in My wife and I went for a lunchtime carvery and were blown away by how amazing the food was. I cannot recommend it enough You do have to queue up the staircase to get to the restaurant where they serve the Carvery and if your sat downstairs then u have to carry a tray with your plate on so if your elderly or disabled then you may need assistance from staff but the staff are very approachable and cannot do enough for you. They are amazing There is a lovely selection of meats, plenty of different vegetables, the roast potatoes are to die for and the mashed potato was some of the best we have had. Plenty of sauces available such as Apple Sauce for example. The room we were sat in near the bar was very quaint and quiet which made the experience even better Thankyou Fishpond Hotel for having us and we will definitely be back

Visited on numerous occasions and often stay most of the evening. Food excellent with a wide variety of choice. Burgers to Asian speciality cuisine. Beer - Neckoil is a favourite here. Bar and waiting staff are friendly and efficient, and they make sure that there’s not much waiting at the bar. Only downside was this Friday (Feb 21st) the rock band (Freeway) was just too dang loud! I could forgive the singers *dubious* vocals at times because he was fun to watch, but I despair when essentially a good rock band thinks everyone wants to be deafened. We’ve been in when there’s been a covers band, Irish folk, and rock and it’s been pleasant, but we had to move on Friday and eventually left early.

Excellent in every respect. With three grandkids and a dog we felt very welcome and custom appreciated. We had a nice table by the fire so were very comfortable. We just seem to beat the rush and our food order was met very quickly. The food was great. We had two pizzas and houloumi bites for the three kids and a chicken burger between the two adults. All food well cooked and presented. Two puddings between the five of us. Quite sufficient food unlike some establishments. Would highly recommend. Will be back. Thanks to all the staff for making this a nice experience for us all.

Come here quite often for the carvery and I must say it's outstanding and definitely value for money. Plenty of meat and a great fresh vegetable selection. The carvery always looks appetising, well stocked and plentiful. The meat is always melt in the mouth and I like the fact you can pick how you'd like your meat cooked. Wether it be done well, medium etc. As with other carveries the meat isn't cut wafer thin. I've always found the staff to be pleasant and helpful and that the ball room is dog free. I'm sorry but I don't like eating round them. If I was to pick fault I'd say some weeks the vegetables are cooked better than others and I find the stuffing balls very heavy and stodgy. That is my personal preference but saying that I have never come away not thoroughly enjoying it and plenty of other things to pick. Myself and my husband rave about it to everyone. Lastly the crackling is spot on and if you snooze you lose out on that. Sometimes toy with the idea of trying other places but when you find somewhere that ticks all your boxes it's not happening

We really enjoyed our meal here. Food is reasonably priced and portion sizes are really generous. The only downside for us was the queue for the carvery. My partner ordered a carvery and the rest of us ordered from the menu. By the time my partner returned to the table with his carvery meal, we had all been served and had finished eating! There was only one person serving at the extremely busy carvery, on a Sunday afternoon. The location is lovely and the pub is dog friendly.

Looking for something to eat in Matlock Bath that wasn't Fish and Chips for 9 of us. They were incredibly busy and seemed quite stressed but welcomed us in along with a warning it could be a long wait and the menu had been hammered. With little other choice we stayed and it was well worth it. Took a while to get served but she was brilliant and even then brought our drinks to the table. The wait for food was not as bad as they thought and it was well worth it. Only 1 person had to pick something else. For the adults we had a burger, sausage & mash, pie & mash and then the BBQ Pork Belly which everyone agreed looked like the best and I can confirm as it was mine it was so good. I normally get food envy looking at other options but this time I was the winner. That being said everyone enjoyed their meals and every plate was clear including the kids. Prices were alright and I would recommend to anyone.

My wife and I called here on a rainy Sunday afternoon, as the place where we had in mind was closed. We were greeted with a friendly welcome when we arrived and directed to a seating area. We both had the Sunday Carvery and weren't disappointed at all. There was a good selection of locally sourced meats, and as a nice touch, we could choose if we wanted the meat, rare, medium or well done. A good selection of hot fresh vegetables and the red cabbage was to die for. We both left with full bellies. On a separate note, there was also a good selection of hand pulled beers, for the beer lovers. Would I recommend and return. Definitely. I would.

Came here for a Sunday dinner with friends. Was about £33 for two carveries so not bad. Was really impressed with the carvery in that there was 8 meat options, including how you wanted your meat. You could have rare beef, medium beef, gammon, turkey, medium lamb, well done lamb and a couple of others. You could also have a nut roast too. Love the variety of meats to suit everyone. The mash was also very good. Everything else was standard. The parsnips and carrots were not peeled, and they were plain boiled parsnips not honey roasted. The peas were on the crunchier side and I prefer my veg soft. They had cheesy leeks and cauliflower cheese. It is not very good for labelling as I knew not all the veg was vegetarian. The red cabbage was picked and not stated that was not nice. The roast potatoes were crunchy but a little dry. The Yorkshire was big but not my favourite. Was worth the try for the meat

First time dining here. Great Sunday dinner with lots of vegetable options. The queue for the roast dinner was a tad long, but with the quality of food I'm not surprised! The roasts are served in the Ballroom upstairs. So it can be a safety risk if you lose your footing when carrying hot food. That was my only concern. The staff are friendly and it was cozy warm and inviting. A great dining experience.

Lovely pub. Friendly Staff. Great Menu. Large garden to rear with plenty of umbrellas for shade - accessed via steps. All in all; a great find and we will return!

Lovely cafe on the Monsal trail,very popular with cyclists and walkers. Good choice of food, shortage of cutlery when I was there. Massive portions, had a ploughman's which could have easily fed 2. Reasonably priced, would definitely recommend

By far our favourite pub in Matlock. Always clean and well run with polite, attentive staff. A real varied menu with tapas now every day, which is delicious, and really good value. An all-round great pub, and the goats cheese pizza is great. Real good selection of beer, cider and ales on tap. We don't even mind the wonky tables as they have plenty of beer mats (lol).
