The Grouse Inn in Derbyshire Dales

4-plus rating. I had the butterfly chicken, my wife had the cod. She was happy with her meal, I was very happy. The blue cheese sauce on the chicken (and on the side, for the chips) was top-notch. Strongly recommended.

I really love this pub,it's so warm and friendly and is very welcoming to all. Dogs and children are welcome,and there's a great choice of drinks and food available for everyone,they really will go out of their way to help. Its a great place for sports lovers as they have a wide range of sports channels. They have live entertainment and quizzes and bingo. The back of the pub is great for children as they have a kids climbing frame, slide and bouncy castle, its enclosed and totally safe and away from the road . My husband and i are always looked after really well and all the staff are like a second family. My favourite day is sunday because they do the most fantastic carvery (you must book inadvance). You have a good choice of plate sizes,ranging from large to childs. The carvery is served by dan who serves your choice of meat which is either pork, turkey, beef and sometimes lamb all of which is cooked to perfection and is supplied locally from coates butchers. The choice of vegetables is vast and all of which is cooked perfectly, all the time freshly cooked veg ect is coming out of the kitchen cooked by amber and malc. The Yorkshire puddings are homemade and the cauliflower cheese is to die for, the roast potatoes and parsnips are also spot on, they really cover all bases. There's a vegetarian and vegan option just ask when ordering. I really cannot fault the grouse inn and I highly recommend it.

Best Sunday carvery we’ve ever had! The beef was so tender - mum in law could manage it! The staff were so friendly. Would definitely recommend

We popped in for the all you can eat breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Lovely food. Eggs were just right and the sausages and bacon were top notch. The toast was nice thick bread, not the measly stuff you find at some establishments. Don't be fooled by the size of the pub on the outside, because it is a Tardis inside. To top it off the staff were friendly and welcoming to both us and our two dogs. You don't find that in some places. We thoroughly recommend a visit here and we will be back to have breakfast again and to try their carvery.

Excellent staff made the difference. The Sunday carvery was good value and came with generous meat portions. Would revisit if we come this way again.

Quick friendly service, really tasty food and good value. Very welcoming to our kids with a generous kids portion and ice cream.

We’ve visited a few times for breakfast . Excellent service , and quick . Decent coffee served first . My partner had the full size breakfast , a large plateful! I had the “small” veggie breakfast , and it was plenty ! The veggie sausages were properly and gently cooked , (which most places find difficult), plenty to eat . We can recommend .

Called in for a quick lunch. We had pulled pork paninis, which were a very generous size, delicious, and came with a full salad and crisps. The landlady and landlord gave us a warm welcome, and we would certainly return if in the area, perhaps for a more substantial meal.

Been here 4 lunch and was absolutely lovely so today came to try the breakfast and wasn't disappointed me and my partner both had large breakfast which was challenging lol but we managed it because it was so nice absolutely spot on.... food and staff are lovely..what's not to like 10/10 from me again 😊 sorry no pics totally forgot because I was busy filling my face 🤣

excellent food, outstanding service. great atmosphere, has been newly renovated would definitely recommend.

We had a fish and chips and 2 chicken tikka curries with naan bread and a side of chips, absolutely amazing. Just what you want for pub grub

We went at lunch time on a Tuesday for a meal. Very few customers. The loud background music was competing with the tv. The meals were satisfactory and reasonably priced. Service was attentive if a little slow but we were in no hurry. I would like to suggest that lunch time be aimed at retired people which would not include the noise (we sometimes have a job hearing conversation). In a previous life there were always plenty of pensioners eating there. I wish The Grouse all the best as we need more pubs open at lunch time in the week.

Lovely clean, friendly pub. The food was fantastic the best fish and chips I've had for many a year. You can sit in or out and enjoy overlooking the hills of the dales. Landlord was lovely.

Beef and pork on offer... Both lovely and tender. Good variety of veg including a huge offering of cauliflower cheese. Will definitely be back, but next time I go for the large plate.

The beef was lean and tender .excellent choice of veg. Good service and a friendly atmosphere.well worth a visit!

Dropped in as part of an early evening weekday walk for a drink . Nice pub with beer garden and lots of pub games - including a boules pitch in the garden. Welcoming staff . . Will visit again .

With some sympathy this pub is struggling to adapt to the covid measures. The one way system was not ready. The exit was locked so had to go back via the entrance. The carvery was fine, no issues. Meat was plentiful and so too the vegetables. The carvey hot plates were at an extremely narrow part of the pub. We did catch the landlord pinch some crackling with his fingers. Not great. Toilets are clean but poorly stocked. Went to the toilet and no lights so had to ask, then there was no toilet paper so again back to the bar to ask. Friendliness is fine but the overall experience left much to be desired

Attended a family 90th birthday party with about 100 guests. Despite being very busy landlord was extremely welcoming and engaging. Buffet was well presented and tasty. Traditional pub with pool and darts available and outdoor play area for children. This was my first visit but will be back

Went here for a Sunday Carvery with family and the meal was very enjoyable. There was not a huge selection of meat, also the portion was a little on the small side, but it was tasty. On the whole it was very enjoyable and we were able to get a reservation at relatively short notice, which was a bonus. Will certainly visit again.

Visited here twice over the Easter Holiday. The steak and Roast dinners are amazing.Good sized potions Defo value for money. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Beautiful situated , specially if the suns shining.

Incredible food! Fast service, good portion sizes and brilliant value for money. My mum and Auntie had pie and chips, which was huge and came with a homemade shortcrust pastry top. I weren't that hungry so had a brie brulee starter- a ramekin filled with onion chutney and brie on top, served with a fresh salad and bread. Loved it. Will definitely be going there now instead of the usual (Grouse & Claret at Rowsley).

Went in on a Saturday night as my partner said it was good so we went in asked my partner what he wanted to drink poured him a pint then told us to leave as it was a private party seeing as locals were there that wasn’t there for the private party as i asked them the man was extremely rude and made all 3 of us akward and will definitely make sure people do not go until you get some friendly people behind the bar my partner has been a few times and they are all very rude the bald man is definitely very unfriendly made me feel uncomfortable also have herd that off a handful of people use to be a lovely pub definitely gone downhill which is ashame

Saw the Grouse inn and despite no cars in the car park decided to go inside. Glad we did food was delicious,hot and value for money.Service was friendly and the 6 of us felt very relaxed.certainly recommended and visit again.

We called in with friends and found this place has it all, great looking food being turned out , nice roomy bar area with stools and friendly staff. Pool table for those who fancy is set to one side so not a disturbing activity. Large carpark over the road if the few spaces directly outside are gone. All in all a nice clean pub offering something for everyone including a log fire.

Warm and welcome The food (Calvary) was lovely could not fault it. The beer and coffe during and afterwards was refreshing. The price of everything was excellent and was less than expected.

On holiday and looking for nice pub lunch came across this place... Excellent food and service in traditional pub. Try the steak and ale pie !Dog friendly too. ATFB. Sir Anthony.

So, I'll start by saying this is a local establishment for me. I often pop in for the occasional drink. Always a good pint. So today I called in for a drink and I decided to browse the menu as I had never before since the new ownership. After viewing the menu a few things stuck me as a good option, when I was then greeted by the chef who offered my opinion toward the lamb steak. Brilliant price of around a tenner!My food arrived shortly after ordering, I sat by the well stoked fire on a cold winter day. Very well presented and first thought was wow! Massive chunk of lamb which might I add was perfectly cooked, pink. Every element was expertly cooked. Little did I know, this chef had previously owned Alison house hotel in cromford, and is also the owner of the royal oak in Tinsley! Both excellent venues for dining experiences. A hidden treasure right on my door step!

this is a lot better pub , no children after 8pm. Good meals but only open for meals at certain times of week need to ring to confirm New very good local chef , meals at reasonable prices. good guest beers

We had the Sunday Carvery and also a meal on the Saturday. The Sunday Carvery was superb and the food on the Saturday was also excellent, with generous portions and very tasty.

There were 8 of us in our party of which four were children and we called in on the off chance having being to 3 other pubs in the area that were fully booked and immediately received a warm welcome. Great traditional food at a great price which was delicious and service was great. Would definitely recommend and would like to visit again!

Such a welcoming and friendly place! The food is really excellent, we've really enjoyed it.It is a favoutite of ours now. The fact that our dogs have been spoilt rotten by the landlord and the chef is s bonus. It is definitely worth a visit.

This is a relatively large pub with TV, wifi available and a pool table.

Traditional 'no frills' pub situated on the edge of the scenic Peak District in one of the least scenic places by the A6. Decent beer and friendly but there are plenty of places nearby that are far superior

Very welcoming Landlord, Dog friendly- treats included. Good food and spotless facilities. Also, very good disabled access and parking both sides of the road. Three visits in three days!

Nice local with friendly people. Lots of cute dogs. Had a nice evening drink. Did not have any food so cannot comment on that.

Very friendly and helpful barman. Other customers very friendly too. Warm and cosy. Nice interior. Food excellent quality and inexpensive arrived quickly. Highly recommend it

Quickest visit to a pub ever! Walking in was like one of those saloon bars you see in westerns,everybody stops talking and looks! Not a welcoming atmosphere,locals with their famalies and kids running around.

Called in last night to wish bridie a found farewell and good luck for the future. Has from wednesday 22nd november bridie will no longer be the amazing landlady of the grouse inn... good luck in ur retirement u will b missed...

Almost 40 of us descended upon the Grouse for roast beef and pork dinners. The tables were set attractively and place cards were used for the different family groups. Bridie and her team could not be faulted for their friendly and swift service. Good food, good value, good atmosphere and live music at the end of the evening to round off the entertainment. Many thanks.

Out with my wife to day Sunday 24/09 2.30 pm looking for somewhere to eat and came across this great pub. Asked if still serving yes please come in and take a table. Absolutely superb Sunday roast of Beef, Turkey or Gammon, my wife had the Turkey I had Gammon, plenty of Vegetables could not fault it for £7.95 and the desert too for £2.95 could not be beaten. Will call again when next out for a run even if it's 120 miles from home. Pubs and Landlady's like this need our support. Well done to the 'Family' behind her. I think the bad reviews on this site must have gone to the another pub as there is nothing bad to say about this one.

We had our sons christening party here on 6th august and it was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we booked we were made to feel so welcome. Bridie is such a lovely, caring and friendly lady, she went the extra mile in everything she did. The food was amazing and all of our 80 + guests said how lovely it was. We were made to feel like family and could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Bridie and all your team it was truly an amazing day xx

My Daughter and her Husband Vicki and Chris Fryer had our grandsons Christening at the Grouse on Sunday 6th August. What an ideal venue !! The food was delicious staff very very attentive and cheerful and bar prices really reasonable and all the 100 or so guests commented on what a great job the Grouse did.Thank you all so much wish I lived nearer then we could visit more

No estoy seguro de si la gente escribe comentarios negativos están escribiendo sobre el derecho pub.

Me encanta venir aquí siempre bueno y tienen el tiempo para todo el mundo. Las bebidas y comida. perfecto perfecto . relación calidad-precio. . volveré.

What an awful experience! Called in for a drink with friends, was greeted with horrible stares and unfriendly manageress behind the bar. Made to feel extremely uncomfortable, terrible atmosphere, will never go here again!

Called in with friends on a Saturday night. Felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome as we walked into the pub. Waited 10 minutes at the bar to be served while the lady behind the bar served others that where waiting AFTER us. No polite welcomes or smiles from the lady who served us. No please and thankyous or attempt to make eye contact. Football on all 3 TVs and no atmosphere. Cannot comment on food as never stayed to order.

To daniel b. I highly doubt you have the correct venue here. Number one Barbara doesn't sell corned beef sandwiches. Number two, her sandwiches do not coat £5. Number 3, she is far from incompetent. Number 4, dogs AND people love her food. It's good home made food! It's the most inviting and comfortable place to go to to relax wine and dine, events and fireworks! This woman really goes out of her way to please every person who steps door in this place. If for one second someone thought bridie was incompetent then they need therapy! Much love for the grouse. And all the staff. Maybe people need to be more aware of mistaking this place for the grouse and claret, which is, exactly as described by the man below :) enjoy

What a nice pub. Family run and very friendly with simple pub food well cooked and very generous servings. Not pretentious but excellent value for money. Well done to all.

We nipped in for lunch & had 2 meals for £12 these were nothing fancy but were nice & tasty & served hot.(we had Hunters chicken & Gammon ) The menu had a good choice. The pub is dated but had a nice homely feel to it . The lady who served us was pleasant . The bar area & toilets kept very clean . We noticed if a sports fan you would be okay here to watch the sky sports footy. If passing again would nip in & probably try a steak next time.( Thursday night sizzling steak night )

Been today for Sunday lunch and it was excellent. We hadn't pre-booked but the landlady, Bridie, was very accommodating and found us a table. We ordered 2 Sunday lunches and 2 pints, very reasonably priced. When the food arrived, it was piping hot, well presented and very tasty. We were told that if we wanted any more we were just to ask! The pub was busy and there was a warm, friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend The Grouse!

There aren't many places in the Dales where you can catch the sport on TV these days. That may not sound like a massive recommendation, but when you combine it with well kept, well priced beer and a warm welcome, it is. Really.

Staff welcomed a lot of clients like old friends, they moved people around to make room for other guests as they came in and everyone was very happy. Felt like cramming more family in for dinner, really homely and friendly. Food lovely and reasonably priced.

Visited for a quick lunch - nice menu with a section of 2 for £12. Typical pub grub well cooked, very friendly and welcoming and good price. Lovely Christmas decorations Small car parkNice clean toilets

We wanted to go somewhere local . The service was good. It was a very comfortable place spoilt only by the noise from one nearby group of 4 with loud penetrating voices and screeching laughter which made it impossible for us to hear each other . Penalty of solid floors maybe- nothing to absorb sound. However meal was good. We both had Pork ( Sorpresa and Pesto ) and both well presented. We thought sweets were expensive at £5.50p but we indulged. So overall not cheap but very acceptable, well patronised . Made a change for us.

Went with my Mum and Dad for a Friday lunch in August! It has certainly changed for the better inside- it has been extended, more modern, cleaner, and a larger selection of food. No booking required! Opens around 12.30. Serves English food plus Lasagne meat or vegetarian as well! Dogs are allowed, and there is a large selection of drinks at the Bar. including Draught Guinness! Pleasant and warm!The thing that lets it down slightly is access. I used a walking frame to negotiate the steps. The owners are aware of the access problem, and are currently trying to get permission to build a disabled entrance! Toilets are accessible! The other thing that you have to watch for is parking. There are only about three spaces in the pub car park itself, so one has to get there early (before midday, or very soon after) to get a parking place!Having said that, when the staff saw I was disabled, they unlocked a door to let us out which avoided the steps completely! This was easier for all of us, and my mother found it very helpful, as she was then nearly 80, and suffers from Spinal Stenosis!

Every time I go in I look for dust in obvious places (as an ex-licencee I do know where to look) lol, it is always spotless. The food cannot be faulted we drive a round trip of 80 miles when ever we can, once a month on average. We usually have the steak at £8.95 each it is smashing value and the cooking cannot be faulted. This week we tried the 2 for £12 meals, all I can say is wow.My husband and I were both chefs in our pubs so we do know what we are looking for.All I can say is give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Pub is a bit dated but the food is excellent. Very reasonable prices. There is not a lot more to say. will visit again.

As locals go this is pretty standard fare. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. The good is of a reasonable standard. The Thursday Steaks are good the Sunday "Carvery" is OK.

What you see is what you get - a good clean local serving standard pub food. 10 of us called for Sunday lunch at short notice. Choice of three roasts, or the standard menu, we fed and 'watered' the whole group, ages 4 to 90, for under £100, so good value. Helpful friendly staff, choice of bar or dining room (quieter) and a beer garden.

A good clean pub that serves a variety of excellent tasting beers. There is ample parking both sides of the road and an extensive outside enclosed courtyard with play area for kids.

Good local situated right on the A6.Food served Tuesday to Sunday.Good playground at the back for children.Good value food (although the beer is not that great and over priced!)Friendly service.

Popped in this pub a few time whilst staying close by. It's a clean well run pub with friendly staff and atmosphere who welcome you and your family. I was a bit disappointed by the selection of real ales, as they tended to be of the smooth and cloudy (John Smiths) type, with no local brews. But if that's not your tipple of delight then they serve plenty of lagers and ciders.

Called whilst staying nearby for a family (9) meal from 2 for £12 meal deal. One of party opted for a different meal so as the other 8 could benefit. Having chosen, 7 meals (6 from deal page) were ordered including 3 Steak and Ale pies ( other 2 in party ordered just afterwards). All ok so far until remaining 2 meals ordered, both Steak and Ale pies, when price was not the expected £12 but £15.90. How come? Well, barmaid pointed out that the page showed that meal had £7.95 added in pen so that was the price just as on main menu?! Yes all meals on the 2 for £12 are not actually £6. Our order had already gone through including drinks so the discrepancy wasn't noticed as nearly £60 was the total. If this had been drawn to our attention then alternatives would have been ordered instead. When place mats and cutlery were being given out our annoyance at the confusion over menu pricing was drawn to staff member's attention she said sorry but no offer to allow order to be revisited was made. Pies were actually fine but fish was poor. After much discussion amongst ourselves elsewhere ( didn't bother staying as previously planned because of our annoyance) we could only guess that a full priced item was left on the offer page as it would allow it to be ordered with a £6 offer meal ? This was our final assumption as otherwise the item would simply have been struck off the list as we had all originally concluded it should. Not at all happy at the off hand manner in which our complaint was addressed. Menu should be made absolutely transparent and customers should have this curiosity drawn to their attention to clarify that their natural expectation that they are ordering 2 meals at £12 is in fact gullibility.Still in area ( others in party had been in previous night and actually had 1 steak and Ale pie and 1 gammon for £12 possibly because only 1 gammon left so order revised) but we will not go again as planned.

Nice little pub with a play area for kids. Good food , polite staff, quick service and child friendly.

Fantastic steak pie...AGAIN...recommend to everyone great food great value...will defiantly be back...bridie is a great landlady

I go to the grouse every Wednesday for tea with a few friends to have a catch up, I am one of the worlds fussiest eaters, I am really greatful that they are happy to make up dishes that suit me. Thanks so much, see you next Wednesday.

Love coming here . Great food and great atmosphere..Bridie and her staff are brill..will defiantly be in again .like tomorrow

Called in at lunchtime on a Saturday afternoon. Not many people in but the food was fantastic. Large portion of gammon and they let us choose chips or baked potato. Would definitely go again...

Excellent food, very reasonably priced and lovely friendy staff. Also kid/dog friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Highly recommended.

Love the food here especially the homemade steak and ale pie...fantastic meal...good service and attentive

Visited here with my children & husband for an impromptu tea. The staff were extremely polite, there is a lovely area at the back of the pub to sit & relax , and a lovely play area that my son loved. The food was well cooked, and we loved the chips...they were crispy on the outside & soft inside, yum, if i eat chips thats how i want them to be cooked! Many thanks

our first visit to the Grouse ,visiting the area for the day,certainly we will be backon our next visit,lovely homemade food,a warm welcome from staff, friendlyatmosphere,and realistic prices. perfect..

Stopped on the A6 for a meal in The Grouse Inn. Fabulous food, pleasant staff, great value for money. To top it off our dog was allowed in and sat quietly under the table.

We booked a table for 6 to eat after we had watched the football. It was a little busy and a warm afternoon but when the football ended the place began to get cold. The back door had been open all afternoon. The table we had reserved was taken by some locals only 3 of them? Instead of asking them to move we had to wait for our table to be cleared and cleaned. No big deal really but we sat down to look at the menus and we were getting quite cold as the table was near the back door that was still open. We asked the person who looked in charge (short hair shaved at the side) if the door could be closed. She brushed us abruptly to one side saying something about it being hot. I suspect she was hot but not her so called customers. We then sat down, got another round of drinks in but decided after sitting wearing our coats and having spent a lot on drinks we would take our custom else were. How disappointing to have caught the woman in a mood because the ratings seem to be good. Never mind we went to the Shalamar down the road and that was excellent especially the service!

We stopped at the Grouse Inn for Sunday Lunch today after a lovely morning round Matlock/Matlock Bath.Lovely food very friendly staff,would certainly go again next time we in the area.

A very pleasant pub with a large car park on the opposite side of the road. The pub is largely open plan and is comfortable, airy and very clean. The food is simple but very tasty and well prepared.. The service was genuinely friendly and natural. The attention to detail in all aspects of the operation was excellent.

we wanted a good local pub for Sunday lunch while we were away for weekend,! This pub has friendly helpful staff, they do a very good carvery both adult or children portions, nice atmosphere too would defo go again

Phoned through an order for 11 people. When we got there 2 of the orders were wrong and we were made to feel like it was our fault. Food itself was average - the seasonal veg on the correct orders turned out to be peas!

We had a few drinks in The Grouse Inn, typical local pub. Not too expensive but the service in the bar could do with some smile.

Warm and friendly staff. An open fire with comfortable surroundings. The food is great, tasty, nicely presented and very good value.

Lovely pub with friendly staff and a comfy local feel to it. Id definitely recommend this pub to anyone that's hungry as the meals were impressive both in taste and size.

Very friendly staff and a good selection of food. We went in for lunch after a walk. The specials board had a good selection. The only disappointment was the beef lasagne, very small, no obvious pasta layers and really didn't hit the spot! Overall a nice lunch.

visited on a Thursday night which was steak night had a 8oz steak, jacket potato, salad, onion rings and garlic mushrooms all for £8.00 the steak is served on a hot plate separate from the rest of the meal and was sizzling just how I like my food nice and hot.The pub itself is a good old traditional british pub the staff are nice and friendly I would highly recommend if your in the area give it a try.

Welcoming friendly staff , Excellent tasty food. Clean and comfortable. Will be returning . Can recommend

We called into this pub on the off chance and I'm glad we did. The bar maid was really friendly and helpful and the food was extremely good and great value. The mixed grill, lasagna and burgers were great. Well done and you'll see us again

Went to The Grouse Inn for christmas lunch with a group of friends; Thurs 17th Dec. It was the first time we had been there but it wont be the last. The welcome from the staff and owner was very warm, the pub itself is warm, exceptionally clean and well decorated. When it came to the meal, it was lovely; hot, more than enough food and served quickly, by waitresses who smiled and let you know that nothing was to much trouble. One thing which went down really well with me was the toilets, they were spotless! All in all a very nice place to go for a good meal at a reasonable price.

Myself and four work colleagues went for Christmas Lunch on 4th December. As you walk through the door the staff are very welcoming which is always a great start.The food was excellent and the portions were plentiful, so much so that I couldn't even squeeze a dessert in! The service was again excellent and all our needs were met. Massive compliments to Bridie and her staff on such a great service. Would highly recommend that if you haven't chosen a venue yet for your Christmas dinner that you seriously consider the Grouse Inn at Darley Dale.

What a fantastic meal in lovely surroundings thank you to Bridie and her staff for making it so enjoyable will definitely be back very soon. Highly recommend The Grouse Inn!

Couldn't get over the feeling that this pub was more geared to watching TV, playing pool and darts that having a meal. Nothing really wrong with the food, it arrived promptly and was well cooked. However everything felt somehow as if it had just come out of a packet. I'm sure it hadn't but that was the impression. Perhaps the overall experience was coloured by the fact that the large single room was almost empty.

Friendly staff, food was good - they kindly sorted an adult sized meal for.kids to share. Food and drink was good - great play area for kids to play in.Looks like locals use this place - which l take as good sign

Visited here on way home yesterday. Really friendly staff and a nice, homely atmosphere. Had a really tasty snack...lovely veggie sausages and reasonably priced as well. Would like to visit again.

Good food and good ale but wasn't impressed with the gang of locals who seemed to rule the roost,Shame as it could be a nice pub just don't upset the locals!

We had a fabulous experience there today just called in on the of chance ,very obliging could not do enough to help food was class service 100% go and experience it.

Staying locally and after reading reviews, we walked here for an evening meal. It was very quiet with 3 couples ordering food, we were number 3! We waited over 40 minutes till ours arrived, each having a wait. So glad it wasn't busy! To be fair it was hot but nothing to write home about after all the wait. Wouldn't have minded so much if we had been told it would take so long!

Lovely country pub, friendly accommodating staff, wide range of food available and weekly specials. Pie, steak and curry nights and the portions are excellent value for money. Good selection of drinks available including guest ales, soft drinks and hot drinks; great kids menu and a fabulous beer garden with a huge children's play area. Dog friendly too!

We were 4 friends on our way to visit Haddon Hall and needed ideally a pub meal before we arrived there. We were looking out for a pub and saw the Grouse Inn which looked inviting with its lovely hanging baskets.The interior decor was tasteful, the staff were so pleasant. The toilets were pristine.The food was excellent and remarkable value for money. We would strongly recommend the steak and ale pie cooked by the landlady herself. The pie was full of juicy steak which had been marinated in cask ale. We knew this because the landlady came and had a word with us to make sure we enjoyed our meal.We would strongly recommend a meal here if you are in the vicinity. It deserves support .

Enjoyed a lovely carvery with the family on Sunday. 11 of us ate in the dining room, most opting for the carvery but some choosing other options. All good quality and quantity. Only fault was with one meal (cannelloni) not being available and staff failing to let us know until one of our party had already been served and started eating! The rest of us then waited for some 20 minutes before the meals came and we could all tuck in! Other slight concern was lack of meat on carvery. Some of us were given scraps of fatty meat which was a shame as it was lovely. Staff were all friendly and attentive though and meals good value. Worth a try

My friend took me to lunch here yesterday. The jacket potato with salad and prawns was lovely. I thought the pub was really nice and clean and modern and the staff very friendly and efficient. Cant wait to go back and sample the Sunday carvery which i have heard many very good reports about and the other specials nights they have started doing like steak night curry night and pie night. Thank you to my friend for treating me.

Decided to try the grouse pub with elderly dad and family ,,had a very warm welcome was told about the specials on that evening and given a menu to choose from ,no pressure to rush totally relaxed atmosphere and very friendly Staff ordered the gammon steak and chips mouth watering gammon and chips crisp and fresh also had steak with jacket potato very good portions, hot ,and did not have to wait to long for the food ,can not wait to go back and try the meat pie specials on the Monday and the Carvery on Sunday well worth the visit excellent food friendly staff and good prices

I have visited the pub on several occasions since being recently taken over....the carvery is excellent as the bar menu. They accomadate well for my baby boy who gets his meals free as he's in a highchair. I cannot fault the great service they provide and will continue going for the homemade food they serve. I definitely reccomend a visit!
