The Fox & Goose Inn in North East Derbyshire

Fabulous venue. Traditional feel as you step inside to a clean country pub with nicely stocked bar and friendly greetings from staff. A snug area with real fire working in the cold days makes it all the more inviting for a longer linger. Outside in the warmer weather is lots of outdoor seating and a children’s play area with large carpark. Through to the orangery with fabulous country side views for a relaxing meal. Staff were polite and nothing too much trouble. We had a Sunday lunch of Derbyshire roast beef ..not to be missed it was amazing with a giant Yorkshire pudding! As regular visitors through the seasons and years we have never been disappointed with anything. Everything cooked perfect and to eat out is a treat and a pleasure at the fox and goose for us.

We came here for a couples dinner (8 of us). It was a stormy night and it was lovely to be greeted by a roaring fire. The menu has a good variety of tempting food. I had the salmon scotch egg which is something I'd never had before. It was beautiful. I had surf and turf for my main. Here is where my only criticism arises. My steak was medium rare (I'd ordered medium) and my wife's was rare (medium rare was ordered). We mentioned it to the staff just to let them know. The service was excellent. The beer was well kept (Theakstons). The atmosphere was friendly, quiet and relaxed. I would definitely return. This could easily have been a 5 if not for the aforementioned steaks been cooked to our preference. 4 stars. Thank you to the excellent staff🤝🏻

They went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable experience. Thank you

Lovely place to eat. Great food and wonderful service. In a beautiful setting.

Family gathering for a birthday, great atmosphere and food. Staff accomodating and pleasant. But ideal to just drop in and chill to.

Good Sunday roast. Were a party of 10 and all enjoyed the meal. Roast potatoes could have been a bit more roasted rather than "boiled" and meat gravy instead of veg gravy would have been preferable, but every other element was spot on.

Lovely country pub with excellent food. Staff are friendly and attentive. The burgers are excellent. Overall atmosphere is great. Sat near the log burner after a cold and wet walk, it was bliss

Wow !!!!!! this is our local and they have changed the menu slightly we have always thought it was excellent but today the Chief had excelled even further we had fish and chips compliments to the chief it was truly amazing thank you so much x Lynn and her team as always provided the very best service they are the best thank you so much xx

Absolutely superb country pub, very warm welcome, great service, the fish & chips were to die for, all the extras, gorgeous fish cake extra, mushy peas & chipshop curry with bells on … woodburner, great music & atmos, service was so friendly, polite & very efficient … the place in Derbyshire to go to … highly recommended 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had a great lunch, the chips on Dales dish superb ...best Gammon steak he's had 👍....my fish was cooked superbly ... credit to the chef

good food in an empty pub on a cold Saturday night. The pub was nice and warm with good food and helpful staff. We shall be back.

We had our wedding here on the 16th Feb 2024. From booking the venue to having our big day Lynn and all the team was amazing.nothing was too much trouble.we was allowed in day before to set our wedding up but some things couldn't be put out till the day. So the team did all this for us.the wedding day went amazing and the food was out this world so everyone told us and didn't each much myself. Everyone said how great its all been and staff nothing was too much trouble. Lynn is one of the nicest people you will meet and so helpful. The only downside to the day was it had to end. But we loved it.mr and Mrs Toy

Went for a meal a few years ago, loved it so much we've been back many times. Always friendly, warm and welcoming. We even had our wedding in the function room upstairs (pictured)

Disappointed with unfriendly, slow service for our Sunday lunch. No greeting on arrival. Was placed on a table and had to ask five minutes later for a menu. The waitress staff kept looking in the room and leaving or attending to other dinners. We had to keeping asking to place our order, request a dessert menu, request the bill etc. We felt like we were being a nuisance. The food was ok but not worth £16 for one carrot, one parsnip etc. Desserts are priced at £6 each for a sliver of cheesecake. We felt ignored and was very disappointed with the experience. We won't be going again and would not recommend this place.

Great food, good drinks, beautiful views, brilliant staff. Can't ask for much more than that!

First time we'd been to the Fox and Goose on hearing good things about it and a reasonable priced menu. On arrival we were greeted by Captain Charisma himself and ushered to sit on a table in "no mans land" until our table was ready. At this point we assumed that it must be busy and packed out, so we sat and waited a while until we were called through. Eventually we were told our table was ready, so were escorted through to the conservatory, an empty conservatory!! We were the only table in there!! The older waitress was very polite and took our food order. Eventually starters turned up and went down a treat. However I had to get up to tell the staff we'd finished and were ready for mains. Unfortunately this lack of service continued with the younger waiting staff and I had to get up on 3 more occasions to prompt them for table service! The food was very nice overall, but if the management can please ask the younger waiting staff to be a little more attentive, it might save the frustration of future diners having to endure nearly 3 hours of being there like we were! Not sure we'd go back, based on the lack of service.

Went for the Sunday carvery and wasn't disappointed. Friendly and efficient staff too. Will definitely return.

beautiful pub,roaring fire lovely food,staff friendly and helpful..a lovely experience we will go regularly now

Visited here for new years day lunch and was very disappointed. Attended at 1pm, got our food just after 2pm. I ordered the bacon burger, which is accompanied with salad, chips, onion rinds etc. It arrived, chips were fine, the burger however, no bacon, no salad no onion rings, it looked like something you'd get at a fairground and for £16.95 RIP OFF. I was not impressed and won't be returning to eat sorry.

This is how a pub should be….welcoming cosy great service fantastic food and drinks. 🥂 We celebrated Xmas with our friends as we do every year and this is our second Xmas visit…a third on the way. Never disappoints staff are polite and friendly nothing too much trouble.😃 our chauffeur home was brilliant had a lovely chat en route🚌. All the staff were fantastic sorry I forgot your names😳 but a Hugh thank you to you all🤩🤩🤩🤩

Christmas Day lunch 🎄 (yesterday) 25th December 2023 Had a fantastic time The food, drinks, service was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. Ann & Dale ❤️

Beautiful place. Fabulous staff. Amazing food

The Fox and Goose is our local restaurant and we always go for Christmas meal every year but have to say this will be the last one. The last 2 visits have been very disappointing, meals were missing elements, cold or not well cooked. We had to queue to get drinks making it harder to all eat together as they wouldn't let us order st our table. The food was subpar and having to pay upfront for it all I was extremely embarrassed as I had booked it. I felt really sorry for the staff as they were obviously understaffed with the girls running around but were extremely polite and helpful. Sorry but think you need to up your game before we come back.

We were visiting Chatsworth House for the Xmas decorations and staying over near Baslow. As we got married at the Fox and Goose in June we thought it would be great to have a meal there. Craig and Lynne welcomed us like old friends and it was a lovely touch. The meals were lovely and the beer spot on. The pub snug is the most comfortable and atmospheric area and we love it. The rest of the staff are friendly and professional. Despite having a busy full pub Craig insisted he took us back to the hotel and it was very much appreciated. You guys are fantastic and run a professional set up while clearly caring about your customers. Andy and Liz

only called in for a quick drink, staff friendly, service great, didn't have any food so cannot comment,

Fantastic Venue Fantastic helpful and friendly staff A great place for food / drink and atmosphere

We made the decision to book our wedding at the fox & goose without even seeing the venue. Based on the reviews, the location, the venue, we were confident it was the place for us. We finally visited this weekend and met Craig and Lynne...

Celebrated a 60th birthday with family inc two babies and we were very well looked after by all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and our lunch experience was just lovely. The food was very nice, I really enjoyed the vegetarian option. Would definitely recommend

We held our wedding here 11/11 /23, and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect day. Lynn and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was as we wanted, the level of warmth and professionalism was second to none. We have...

Lovely Sunday lunch in this busy country pub. Food is tasty and the staff attentive and friendly. Catered for my wife's food allergy. A good place to dine.

A great Sunday lunch in a lovely spot. Food very nice, service good and a warm and cosy atmosphere. Would recommend and will revisit soon

Lovely venue, lovely food, we had the Sunday lunch platter which served 4 and was great value for money also very tasty! Staff were lovely :-) we will be back

A great wedding celebration.. October 23rd......

Very nice Sunday dinner very nice pub 🍻 will call again 😀🙂

Both Lynne, Craig,and the rest of the incredible team did the absolute MOST to give us the wedding day of our dreams. From setting up the venue to make our visual dreams come to life, to making us and all of our guests feel welcome...

We chose The Fox & Goose as the venue for our intimate wedding. Craig, Lynne and the team were superb in every respect, ensuring our special day went super smooth and without a hitch. We had a relatively small event with only 14 day guests...

Visited for the first time at the weekend on our way into Chesterfield. Good move. It was early, but everything went smoothly. Excellent selection of beer and wine (by the glass or bottle). The food menu was great, to suit any tastes. Had the special,...

Food is excellent 👌 Service was prompt. Very busy and we ate late on a Sunday afternoon. As a result various items on the menu were unavailable, which was a bit disappointing.

Up marker dining. Good food, freshly cooked. Good service from 2 young attentive waitresses. A bit noisy but understandable with a birthday crowd partying. Good experience and booked for Christmas.

The place is small, and food is not that great

Called in for dinner, found a good selection of beers, had a pint of Guinness, really good, we had dinner with a good selection on the menu, food was excellent, staff are very friendly and helpful, very welcoming, definitely recommend this place, very large car park so no problems with parking, fantastic views over the moors. Ideal setting for a great day. Would very much recommend the Fox and Goose for that something special.

What a lovely place, best views of the country side. Could sit and have drink all day, looking out apone nature.

Lovely pubs in wonderful setting. Staff were friendly and helpful and beer and food were excellent

I have the pleasure of celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary at the Fox and Goose and can't speak highly enough of the attention to detail from the staff and the seamless organization. Lynne Brooks and Craig Lynch were very helpful in organising our day and...

Went for a Sunday roast, beef, and pork. Really nice meal, lovely surroundings and staff were very welcoming. Highly recommend 👌

Delightful place, good food, friendly staff

We stopped off at the Fox and Goose yesterday for lunch. The outdoor space has a good sized play area and there was also a bouncy castle which kept our kids happy while we waited for our food. We were warned of a half hour wait because they were busy but it unfortunately took over an hour to arrive. When it came, the kids' meals were very basic and the burger burnt. The fish and chips meal was also pretty basic and not particularly tasty for what we paid. Not recommended. If you carry on a few minutes west, you'll find two other pubs close by which are worth trying instead.

Ate here on a Saturday evening as staying at the Lambs Glamping place round the corner. Nice food, I had something from the specials menu which was great. Kids food also good quality. Nice atmosphere and really friendly staff. Lovely pint too!

I just finished my wedding here well I have to say I am extremely happy it was everything and more that we wanted,the views amazing the selection of drink on offer perfect, but above and beyond was the staff especially Lynn and the young girl working with her behind the bar they we so helpful and constantly working with a smile on their faces I work in hosptality and I see when staff genuinely care about your experience I would recommend them to anyone. Thankyou so much for a memory I will never forget. Mathew and Samantha Taylor

My husband and I, plus our dog,had dinner at the Fox and Goose on Thursday 17th August. It’s a very picturesque pub with a long history and lots of character. We were made to feel welcome by Craig, who provided excellent service throughout the evening,...

It's a great place , with great food, & great service ....we go must weekend & always enjoy .....we are even booked in for Christmas Day Lunch 😀 .....Thanks again Guys

Recently attended a wedding there, by hekk, nearly £17 for a pint of IPA and a single Gin and Tonic! Nice venue but be prepared for London prices for drinks!

Pop in for lunch Friday on our way back home with friends the ladies ordered the salmon my mate the rabbit pie and for myself the fish and chips.The girls food came and was edible but as for the rabbit pie totally overcooked the chips were greasy as for my meal the chips were swimming in oil the fish was burnt the bill was credited will not be visiting here again

Really not good! Over cooked, over priced fish and chips. The regular (vs small) came with about 10 chip for £17. Disappointing.

Over priced family dinner I had fish and chips which involved a small fish, seriously over cooked and about 10 chips - for £17 My partner had sausage and mash which was fine but nothing special for £17 My son had a ‘mini burger’ which...

It’s hard to put into words quite how perfect our wedding was at the Fox & Goose. The venue, the food, the staff, the organisation and preparation was absolutely impeccable. Lynne was incredible throughout our wedding planning journey, nothing was too much trouble and she...

Disappointing I am afraid. My wife and I turned up at just gone 12, thinking it would be quiet. There were no staff to be found when we walked in and a couple sitting at the table. We asked them if it was open. After a few minutes the manager I assume walked in and said hello. He then proceeded to go behind the bar and answer the phone and then stood there. I had to ask him would it be possible to get a table for two and he said yes of course. I briefly looked around, it was not clear if it was tableservice or pay at the bar. I asked him how does it work? He laughed obnoxiously and said “well you find a table and you sit down”. I then asked do we pay at the bar or is it table-service and where are the menus? To which he replied, I will get you a menu. We ordered bruschetta for starter and fish and chips for main. The bruschetta was very small and bland tasting. The fish and chips, the fish was beautiful. However, the chips were soggy and some borderline burnt. They never checked on us to see if the food was alright, they never asked if we wanted to refill our drinks. For supposedly table service it was poor. Staff were hanging around at the bar. The kitchen staff were coming in and pouring themselves a drink. So in general, we did not feel it gave a good impression.

OUR WEDDING AUGUST 2023 Ya Know, when you get past the silly cakes, the pretentiousness of wedding favours, the boring speeches that no one wants to hear and hours of small talk between rarely seen, shirt tail relatives like aunt Maureen who's never had a good word to say about anyone, what remains is two people. Lynn, Craig and the team at the Fox & Goose, never lost sight of that. This , Bride & Groom before all else attitude enabled us to have our day, just as we wanted. Simple, elegant, no fuss and above all else, a bit of fun ! Thanks guys we had an amazing day. Here's to keeping it simple..... Cheers.

Excellent food & great environment.

Lovely pub , will definitely be returning

Me and my partner recently got married at the fox and goose and had the best day of our lives. From the start of planning to tge end of the big day, the staff (especially Lynne our wedding coordinator) have made the whole experience seem...

We had a wonderful meal today with our family. Food was delicious. We had a lovely waitress called Jaz who was nothing but helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Amazing service and excellent food.

Myself and my partner Callum had our wedding here a few days ago and cannot thank the staff at pudding pie enough for helping our day move as seamlessly as possible! We had the most amazing day and that definitely would not have been possible without Lynne, she handled absolutely everything you could think of, was always pleasant and polite and went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Honestly over the moon with how everything turned out! We had so many compliments on the venue, the food and the service, we cannot thank everyone enough 🤍

Went for a meal with friends had a lovely evening food was great staff were friendly

We got married at The Fox and Goose in June and had the most fantastic day. After contacting Craig and Lynne and arranging a meet up it was all plain sailing from that point onwards. We love the views from Pudding Pie Hill and the...

Amazing boozer, scenery is brilliant, and the food is incredible All the staff are so friendly and will make your visit even better Can't recommend this place enough for a visit, either food or drink

Oh Dear! Where do i start? Firstly, i hand delivered a letter with my issues on Father’s day but have had no acknowledgment of it. There were only 2 staff members on duty to serve our party of approx 25, the bar, inside and outside...

Great place. One of our favourites. Go the extra mile to fit us in. Food great at reasonable price.

Had a very tasty meal here. Some of the younger staff were very good; others looked terrified, bless ‘em. Also mixed up one or two condiments! But not to worry. Food took rather a long time to arrive (I do appreciate it was being cooked fresh, but still it was over 45 mins, and there weren’t many in), and some of the items on the menu were a bit wacky (watermelon salad with strips of Sunday roast beef anyone?), but in all, like I say, a tasty meal.

Attended this place for my brother’s wedding!!. It was absolutely fantastic the whole day was brilliant!!. Debs one of the servers bent over backwards as my daughter is a fussy eater and wouldn’t eat the dinner !!. So she came over and asked her if...

This is a lovely pub/restaurant in the heart of the Peak District. The pub and staff were very welcoming and it has a real fire in the bar area. Had a number of local ales on tap, the Jalpur from Thornbridge brewery was particular good...

A lovely venue, friendly staff, tasty food. Unfortunately short staffed, ran out of food, not apologetic for this - we felt we were blamed BUT it was resolved although 8 of us ate about 30 minutes after the rest of our 35 strong party. Also,...

The service was excellent. We all thought the 3 course meal was delicious. It arrived on time, excellent service again and beautifully presented. The Karaoke/Disco was great fun and the complimentary shuttle bus into Chesterfield at the end of the evening was an added bonus....

Booked for 10 people for the 3 course Christmas fayre menu at £29.95 a head, great offers on wine plus free bottle for party organiser. Food came out, well timed and hot! We all had various dishes which were all very good. Good service, great...

Great Venue for a Christmas Party, Friendly Staff. Would defiantly recommend to anyone who is looking to organise a Christmas party.

Excellent food so fresh even at the end of a busy Sunday lunch Staff really attentive Had a super evening Would highly recommend The best in Derbyshire

We had a fantastic evening at the fox and goose for our work Xmas party on Friday 2 nd December Food was fantastic, we were very well looked after and the karaoke was great fun!

Excellent food & wine at a reasonable price. Great service in a wonderful atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic value for money and brilliant experience. Just visited fox and goose for wine tasting experience. Wine was top notch and plentiful and food was fantastic. Would really recommend!!! Next wine tasting night is 15th December and we will definitely be there.

Given the increases in food costs over the last year I'm pleased to say the Fox & Goose has continued to offer decent value for money probably at the expense of their profit margin, Food has been consistently of a good standard over my last...

Went there last night for supper and was not impressed. We had a large mussels which I shared with my daughter in law, large it was not and at 13 pounds I feel it was very over priced. I had the special of chicken wrapped...

Three of us went for Sunday lunch at 2.30pm. We couldn't get in earlier and when we arrived we were not surprised why. The car park and restaurant was absolutely full and buzzing. A few large gatherings but mainly small table occupancy. The service was...

I'll keep this brief. We waited over an hour for our food. I had loin of cod with dauphinoise potatoes, cauliflower and green beans. My wife had a buffalo chicken burger. I left the majority of my cod as I felt it was undercooked. The...

Excellent Sunday roast dinner! Greeted on arrival by Very Pleasant staff members Lynne & Alice. The roast was amazing. Rick the bartender was also great company after my meal at the bar :)

Excellent evening with family in the private dining room, superb food, great beer and good wine selection wrapped up with excellent service

Great layout for socialising and food. On the outskirts of Chesterfield, easy taxi reach yet stunning walks on the doorstep. Excellent choice of wines and beers with very knowledgeable staff. Our group were well looked after with the food being very well cooked and presented...

An extremely welcoming atmosphere, excellent location to meet a group of friends. Food was first class, a substantial wine list complimented the evening.

A Sunday Lunch for 5 adults. The menu looked good, not a huge selection of items to choose from but I'd rather a few done we'll than a lot done averagely. The pate was tasty, but in common with most restaurants the pate to toast...

I cannot thank the staff here enough. From getting in touch with Craig about our wedding here, everything has been incredible. The communication the whole way through the planning process was brilliant. Very quick to respond to emails about our big day. We got married...

Excellent in all respects. Hospitality, service, food all superb. We booked late for a party of eleven and all agreed that was a great experience. Will definitely go back.
