The Manor House restaurant in North East Derbyshire

Great place to drink and unwind, lovely place to relax, it's lovely inside and staff are great and friendly Only went in for drinks

Stayed many times. Staff very helpful and mark does a brill breakfast 😀

First time I went in for a coffee, good service and great price. Lovely coffee too

We went for a buffet for our club members. It was a lovely place. We were made very welcome. The food was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Friendly service and an excellent breakfast make this a very pleasant place to stay. The building is 400 years old, so creaky floorboards and low ceilings are part of the atmosphere.

Great friendly staff lovely beer garden good location . Best breakfast I've had . Would highly recommend A +++

Overall a small but clean room with very friendly staff and a wonderful breakfast!

This hotel is shocking unless you don’t spend times in other hotels. I booked a luxury suite what a joke an ironing board with no legs, a kettle no coffee machine no bat robes no slippers the bar below raving until 1AM although closes at 12 for none residents I was told what time I had to take breakfast, no water in the rooms. Look for a luxury suite you should provide bath robes, bottles of water, better toiletries, a real ironing board, a TV in the bedroom, a modern tv in the suite lounge not one from 1995, all on all for £140 Shockingly bad wasn’t even clean I moved the bedside table to iron on the floor and the dust on the carpet changed the colour. Never again Never again Never again go to Sheffield on a brand new hotel with better facilities for half the price it’s that bad we will leave without having breakfast

Service slow, order incorrect, had to order 2nd drink whilst waiting for food to arrive

Just had breakfast at The Manor House and it was excellent. Generous portions, quick and pleasant service, would recommend.

Attended a funeral wake. Lovely venue, good food and pleasant service

We had an amazing stay here, gorgeous clean rooms, very welcoming, it's a beautiful 17th century building kept to a good high spec. Lovely and warm and the breakfast was generous and tasty 😋. Would definitely come back 🙂

Very nice hotel. Cozy. Only serve breakfast. But there are pubs around that serve food

I find the manner house pub inn really kind friendly atmosphere with perlite staff that talk to you and give you there time to help you .. I find the place relaxing and friendly you can see there some history in the pub as well you just get that type of atmosphere vibe that it’s it’s a ok place to always to come to have launch or drinks with love ones …

I have tried a variety of meals from the menu and all have been wonderful. Staff are exceptional and friendly. Will see you soon. xx

I’m a regular visit for brunch , early bar drinks and also drinks in an evening. Good selection of drinks, fair prices and great service. Always a nice atmosphere and like the outdoor area too when weather is good. Can highly recommend brunch- good menu and really excellent prices. I will keep coming back! Only thing I could say, is as a coeliac I would prefer allergy info on the menu.

Stayed here whilst visiting family in Dronfield. Such a lovely quirky little place to stay. Close to everything we needed in dronfield next to a little shopping square and nice cafes and shops . The rooms were low ceilings and added to the quirkyness. Breakfast was included and so much choice available. Comfy bed so slept well after a long day in chatsworth . Will def be booking again for our next visit .

Just had 2 nights in the hotel and couldn’t fault the staff or the wonderful breakfast. The whole place is spotless too. Our bedroom was named after Audrey Hepburn and was spacious and comfortable with a separate sitting area.

Just been for breakfast, wonderful as usual. I have Eggs Royal - eggs done to perfection. Fabulous food and wonderful service. Thank you. xx

Whatever you imagine available for breakfast, nothing to much trouble.Staff very friendly & helpful.

We visit regularly for drinks or a meal. We have celebrated birthdays and a wedding here. The staff are helpful and friendly. The food is lovely. Great to book out for special occasions.

Met friends here for brunch and it was really nice - there was plenty to choose from - I had poached eggs on toast which were cooked perfectly, the coffee was also good. The only annoying thing there was two very noisy children who obviously thought it was a playground running up and down the restaurant which isn't any fault of the restaurant, just bad parenting!

We noticed recently that The Manor House does breakfast and as we were meeting a friend for a breakfast one Sunday morning, settled on this restaurant. We all wanted a light option and there was plenty of choice. We had poached eggs on toast, smoked haddock and poached eggs and smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. All were good, especially the poached eggs, which were perfectly cooked and the staff were very attentive. Also the food was quite reasonable. The only downside for us, and this is nothing to do with The Manor House, was that there were 2 very noisy small children, who were so loud, we struggled to concentrate on our conversation.

L9vely homely food ...well cooked piping hot food. Steak cooked just the way I like it. Clean rooms, lovely staff all of them. Almost made working away from home a perfect way to work. Can't beat the home made chips

Went with my daughter and 5 grandchildren for a hot chocolate treat after school. Made very welcome and the chocolate with cream and marshmallow was delicious. Comfy friendly surroundings too.

The rooms were clean and fresh with Tea and coffee making facilities.Good parking. The breakfast was superb. The only downfall for us was the room above us had creaking floorboards.

First class for customer service, food quality in a lovely friendly atmosphere. A lovely place with lovely staff.

Well, where do I start?? We decided to come here as a couple for a celebratory meal. We sat down at the table and ordered our drinks. We were then asked what we wanted to eat, which was fine and good. However, during the wait (which was about an 1 hour) the female from the couple next to us had to send her meal back because it was cold. The staff then went to make her a new one (which was good service) however, left the male party to carry on eating his! By the time the new dish was cooked, his would have been cold as he decided to wait for his partner to eat. I think they waited around 30 minutes for it to be cooked. Also, during our wait another customer went up to the counter to complain about the wait and to see how long it would be as I think they were waiting for about 45 minutes. Bear in mind there were only three tables in for food including ourselves. Finally, our meal turned up and it looked nice. We both ordered the chicken supreme ( be aware the jus was very salty!) I didn't think anything else could go wrong until I found a black hair in my stuffing!! This couldn't be my hair as I am mainly blonde! I then called the waitress over and explained that I found a hair in my meal and said I would like it taking away. Due to the service and finding this HAIR it put us both off our food so asked for them to be taken away. During this time the customers who complained about the wait decided to walk out. We then waited 20 minutes and still nobody came over to apologise to us. We wasn't going to wait any longer so we got up and went over to the counter and explained how terrible this service was and the two young female members of staff explained they hadn't got a manager in and basically didn't know what to do, they both stated it has been terrible service and has never had this many complaints before. So, the problems at this restaurant are: - very slow service - need better chefs who can cook and know what's cold/hot. Also, to wear a hair net! - management needed or staff trained to know that integrity is to be used and they have responsibility for the service repair side to it. We will NOT be returning here again!!!

Had the steak and wine deal for 30 pounds. Steak was chewy but vegetables were good. Wine wasn't great. Staff were friendly and very helpful. If quality of dinner could be as good as the breakfast then this would be a great restaurant.

Great for breakfast, catch up coffee and drinks at night. Had many occasions here from birthdays to christenings the staff are great, it's like a home from home.

El pub es precioso por fuera y por dentro. Mi pareja y yo tuvimos nuestra primera cita aquí y en el tiempo que no comer, pero la comida se servía vimos parecía fabuloso.

The staff were lovely. The food looked good. But was bland and tasteless. McDonald's burger is far better than their gourmet burger. Sorry to say we won't return

The food here is great, always a changing menu with specials, the staff are very good and always make you feel very welcome.

Comida! ! Bien merece una visita! Absolutamente Comida divina! Comida preparada y presentada a un alto nivel. No me puedo quejar! Hermoso! ! ! ! Recomiendo encarecidamente probar un plato principal aquí! Sin duda volveremos! Manor House es un encantador, un lugar agradable para visitar, incluso para tomarse una copa con familia o amigos. Gracias por una comida para recordar! ! ! Clase!

A very tasty breakfast, made with good quality ingredients. Sausage was particularly good, Portions pretty generous too.

Cuatro de nosotros visitamos una improvisada después de té de trabajo. Fue una velada encantadora y decidimos sentarnos a comer fuera. Fue bastante atareado para la primera media hora y, obviamente, un popular lugar de reunión. Tres de nosotros elegimos el bacalao horneado, que era delicioso, aunque un poco más preparado. El personal era muy amable y servicial y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. Muy buen ambiente y si estoy en la zona de nuevo sin duda volveremos a comer.

Nos alojamos 17 18 de agosto. 2016

Breakfast is tasty, hot with plenty of choice. Evening meal of Pan fried pork loin was delicious if a little costly. Would recommend

Fabulous tapas and very reasonable.Special offers regularly.Cant give it less than 10/10,superb,better than places five times as expensive

A lovely place to go for drinks with friends. Great atmosphere and nice staff. Meals are always a delight and there is a perfect little outside area too. It's kept the traditional character of the pub which is very cosy. I return frequently for lunchtime catchups with friends. Not really accommodating for kids somewhere to go when you haven't got the children only in the sense that there is no play area. The children are welcome to be in the pub for meals.

I love the manor house it is my favourite place to meet with friends have a wonderful meal with a great atmosphere. The food is lovely and reasonably priced. The surroundings are chic, after eating you can join the bustling bar in the evenings. I have used the manor for mothers day and birthdays as it is suitable for all occasions .

Absolutely horrible food. My wife and I used to be frequent visitors to the bar and restaurant but after a couple of average meals we stopped going. After about 6 months we decided to go back and give it a try.We decided on the tapas menu. I was absolutely horrendous. Every aspect of every dish was awful. The staff did their best but on the night we were there, there wasn't a manager on site.Don't go

Visited for the first time for lunch. Nice place with a good atmosphere. Excellent choice on the menu, portions sizes were generous and reasonably priced. Only negative was the slow service, it wasn't busy so this was odd. Having said that the service was friendly and I will return.

Back to my roots.... Sorry it's taken a while to review this lovely place.I have stayed here before and rated the rooms, this time when I was home my family put me up. However, I asked them if we could book to come back to the restaurant over the Christmas period. We came back on a Tuesday over the Christmas period and they had the Christmas menu available along with a shortened tapas and main course menu. Whilst we was there we went for the Christmas menu.All 4 of us thought it was fantastic, it was very tasty and value for money, it was a 3 course which included mulled wine and tea/coffee and mince pies. I especially enjoyed the pate for starters and duck for mains along with the amaretto mousse for dessert. You got plenty of veg and potatoes and we left felling extremely full and enjoyed the food very much, (to the fact we popped in for lunch whilst in the area and the jackets are to die for). The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and the atmosphere was great.Keep up the hard work.

I was here for 4 days. Staying at their hotel during business trip. Overall a good place for snacks, lunch, dinner and breakfast. they also serve freshly brewed coffee. Morning buffet breakfast. staff are nice. They also serve tapas menu.I recommend this place for families and friends.

A whole catelogue of mistakes and dissapointments from our evening meal. Arriving, having phoned and booked a few days prior, to be told they have no knowledge of our booking! We should have just left then. We were a small party of friends going for the Christmas menu. It was clear very quickly the place seemed to be run by inexperienced young staff who hadn't been giving enough training. I don't blame them directly for their lack of service, they were polite but clueless, it very much seems lack of training. We were left without any offer of a drink for ages. We eventually had our order taken for food and drink, starter was OK nothing special. The main came without them clearing the starter plates so all a juggling act. Main was ok except we were given a bowl of what looked like left over veg and under cooked potatoes with no serving spoons. Our veg looked so poor compared to other tables around us, it didn't taste great either. Our mulled wine glasses were never cleared, just left to one side of our table which wasn't pleasant. Desert came and one of them tasted awful. After a few spoons another friend tried it to agree the sauce was completely sour and extremely off. It was very slow to rectify this and finally a different desert arrived which was much better. For the rest of the evening though the awful taste lingered. Such a dissapointing night out for all of us when trying to support local business.

Having pre booked their special Christmas menu, we anticipated this would aid the kitchen and the speed of the food coming out, we were mistaken.Taking 45 mins for our starters to arrive, the portion sizes were 'delicate'.The waiting staff appeared to be inexperienced and whilst trying to do there best the service wasn't up to standard. With only 5 tables eating and 3 staff this service should have been slicker.The main course was pleasant, plenty of turkey although the veg was a little limited and over cooked.Pudding was the best course, but others in the party had under cooked pudding and tasteless mousse.All in all the food & service was little disappointing the lighting was to bright what good job the company was good.

Met for lunch and a natter with friends. Food came out quickly and was of a good quality. I can say it was the nicest sandwich I had had in a while. Its not cheap - cost averaged £12 for sandwich, chips, soft drink and coffee but worth it.

Unable to find steak on the on-line menu I initially thought the restaurant did not do steak at all. However, after a brief phone call to clarify the situation we booked for the Wednesday Steak Night. Two steak meals with various sides and a bottle of wine for £27. That’ll do nicely. The Manor is a pleasant mix of traditional and contemporary décor which gives a nice cosy feel as you enter. There was a large, fairly noisy party already seated when we arrived but the waitress did her best to find a quiet corner for us but owing to the size of the room, this was not really possible. We ordered our meals and, even though they were very busy, our meals arrived within ten minutes of ordering. The ample rump steaks were cooked exactly as we ordered. (Thanks chef). There were plenty of chunky chips for me but rather disappointingly taste - free dauphinoise potatoes for my wife (needed more garlic – the potatoes, not my wife.) We both enjoyed our meals and the bottle of Chilean Merlot was very drinkable. The waiting staff were friendly and very efficient. Well done. All in all, for the price, a great meal in pleasant surroundings. We definitely would recommend this place and hopefully, we will return before too long.

Monday night tapas..yum! Plenty to choose from, picked 6 and all were very nice and tasty, definitely filled us up but had to make room for pudding! Staff were all friendly and very attentive constantly asking if everything was okay. Be back again to try more.

Waited 45 minutes for someone to take our order. Our food came over an hour after we'd arrived. Such a shame as, when it came, the food was ok, despite some unusual flavour combinations. We went for the tapas menu from which we chose dishes including patatas bravas (delicious); meatballs (creamy and with mushrooms), bruschetta (mayonnaise, smoked salmon and capers: odd!); prawns (garlic with sugar snap peas!). Be warned, if you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas, this isn't the place for you.

The manor house is a great place for lunch and drinks, and the evening atmosphere is always cosy and inviting.

Go here often. Love the place. Owner's a really nice guy and the service from all his staff and management is excellent. The food is really good. Breakfast served and cooked with style. Nothing is too much trouble. Great poached eggs and good quality bacon. Nice coffee and reasonable prices. Would recommend to all. The rooms here are beautiful too. Go. Enjoy.

You can't deny that this area of Dronfield is pretty, with its stone built buildings it's a lovely area to have a little walk around on an afternoon.The Manor House is no exception. It's a wonderful mix of traditional and modern which sets a nice atmosphere to dine in.All staff were attentive and were even happy to swap my drink when I ordered the wrong thing. The menu is varied but we had gone there especially for the tapas as we had taken friends who had never had tapas before. Although the food was delicious, the choice of Tapas was very much English, not traditional Spanish. It was a nice change and we very much enjoyed it. The only small comment for improvement would be the staff recommendation on how much to order. They recommend 5 tapas per person if you are hungry but not famished. We ordered 7 per couple and still had way too much food. The pasta tapas in itself was a full meal.Either way the bill was reasonable so it didn't matter too much but could be a little off putting for some.Had a lovely time thank you Manor House, we will be back :)

We chose this restaurant for my birthday meal for the 2 of us. It was a Monday night so we expected it to be quiet and it was.The problem was that the staff appeared to expect that as well and wanted to clear up asap. We went in at 6 ie.early!We did not like them clearing tables of things s if they believed that no one else was coming in later. The staff conversations were too loud and the place too cold and draughty.The place seemed to lack a manager that night to teach them how to do it. I am sure they would be willing to learn.Perhaps Monday night is a bad night to go out for a meal?The smell of paint also put us off.

Fabulous food and service.Very pleasant attentive staff,nothing too much trouble.The only place to eat in Dronfield as far as we're concerned,this was our umpteenth visit,never been disappointed,always surpasses expectations.

Living locally for many years I have considered The Manor House pub one of the best. In recent years there has been a definite decline in the quality of food served. My last few lunch visits being even more disappointing. On two visits I had jacket potatoes that were rock hard on the base and only just warm. With limited salad garnish. Our last visit a tuna steak. This was again practically cold and somewhat overcooked. On what loojed like bag salad. The biggest worry was when it arrived in minutes; so this was obviously not cooked to order, just sat waiting. But the reason I've been prompted into this review is because of our friends lunch which was just a prawn sandwich. This was seletcted on sliced white bread as it need to be specifically soft for her diet due to ill health, so it was important not her being pedantic. On arrival the crusts were very hard (not just fresh bread crispy, but hard) and she removed them but on tasting the sandwich also did not like the tasteless prawn sauce which spoiled the sandwich and she decided to leave it. After a few minutes we were asked if all was ok. We mentioned the sandwich to which the reply was 'sorry about that'. On returning a practically full plate they again had the opportunity to check with us if all was okay and deal with it. They did not comment. So when we ordered coffees we complained about the sandwich and stated she returned a full plate. On checking with the chef the response was "well it was fresh today. But we'll deduct price of 2 coffees". The attitude and service to our complaint was poor. Though the staff were pleasant and always are. This is just poor, uninterested service. A now also an uninspiring sandwich menu. And not the cheapest pub in Dronfield. At which point I'd like to state this is the only pub that has ever charged me for soda water. All 3 of us agreed that day that there's been a decline in attitude and quality and it's unlikely we'd eat there again without some drastic changes by the establishment. If you can get a sandwich wrong!!

Wife and I called in for a 2nd Wedding Anniversary breakfast.We were met with very pleasant and friendly staff.My wife had porridge followed by 2poached eggs on toast. I had the full breakfast. The food tasted good and was reasonably priced. A good start to the day

This restaurant served very hearty food and the service was very efficient and friendly. Unfortunately we couldn't comment on the breakfast as the chef had not arrived and there seemed to be no-one who could even offer us a piece of toast or a boiled egg so we went away without any breakfast

Had a good tapas night thank you all at the manor house dronfield not had a bad meal thete always been exillent

I've had brunch at The Manor House in the past and the food/service has been great however, my 'tapas' dishes last week were horrendous! Rock hard potato croquettes, frozen tart base for the goats cheese tarts, lukewarm chorizo drenched in chip fat and parma ham that had been sweating for hours. I was so disappointed. Gorgeous place but the tapas is such a huge let down.

Stayed here and had dinner. Both are pretty good. The rooms are comfortable and a bit quirky with beams and separate sitting rooms. Dinner was very tasty - and you are put under no pressure to leave - we stayed up until 2am!

Loved the food. Simple, fresh, delicious value for money. Room's were comfortable, warm and beds were great. Noisy on the high street if you want an early night due to it being a bar. So book the opposite facing rooms for some quiet time.

Myself and my boyfriend went for lunch today, Saturday booked the table for 2pm so it was after the rush, I ordered what was on the special board chicken and bacon SALAD with pine nuts and mango sauce, well my definition of salad is more than lettuce!!! 2 pieces of chicken and 2 pieces of bacon served on a bed of mixed lettuce leaves, that is not salad!!!Jane Lawless

We love the Manor House for coffees & drink, but never have eaten! (Not sure why), so we decided to give it a go.We come in drinking every Friday and decided one Friday we would give the "tea time tapas deal" a try.So glad we did, the food was very tasty and presented well and the atmosphere as usual was fantastic.We had a waiter who looked after us all evening, friendly young man who looked after all our requirements.The money you pay for tea time tapas was perfect and filled the hole ready for our evening drinking.I would highly recommend to try the food there and we will be back on many occasions.

I'll be positive to start with - it's very cheap, and the staff are friendly, albeit totally inexperienced and not trained at all. It's all down hill from there I'm afraid. When the booking was made we specifically asked about the children's menu, only to be told on the night that a children's menu wasn't offered on a Saturday. To be fair they did subsequently offer the kids menu, but the pizza was two slices of French bread with tomato sauce and cheese on. We ordered the tapas to start - just awful. Thai fish cakes that were all potato, yet Thai fish cakes shouldn't have any potato in at all. Belly pork that was dry, whitebait that was soggy - all shocking. Bread was ok.The main courses were the real problem though. I have never seen grey steak before. Whoever was cooking that night clearly has no idea how to cook a steak - it had been shown a luke warm pan at best - no seasoning, not sealed on the outside and just raw in the middle. Also ordered the pulled pork burger but without the BBQ sauce - to which we were told that it would be dry without it. Excellent sales pitch! Even my rudimentary cooking skills allow me to cook a moist burger.My daughter had a pudding that was actually ok. Thought restaurants like this had long gone - sadly not. Having seen other bad reviews I already know that the owners are in denial and are likely to post a strong rebuttal. We did complain on the night so they should be aware of the issue. It matters not, we won't be back.

On Sunday 15th March we called at this establishment for breakfast at 10.12 am having travelled from North Wales to attend the church for a pre baptism service We attended at the bar and they confirmed that breakfast was available we ordered beverages and were told our order would be taken at the table. At 10.35 they came to take our order but before ordering thi checked that there was enough time for them to prepare it. He checked with the kitchen and returned to advise me that there was not but they could make me a bacon sandwich. When the sandwich arrived the bread was like a door step the minimal bacon inside was under cooked and I can honestly say that as a business man who travels the country this was the worst bacon sandwich I have ever eaten, the service was diabolical Bryn Jones

Ate here with some colleagues from London.We all agreed food, service and surroundings were first class.Will make this my new venue for taking customers.

We always enjoy the food at The Manor and its surroundings and I decided to take a friend from outside the area who hadn't been for years as the tapas were back on the menu.We arrived just before 7 which enabled us to take advantage of the (5 tapas for £25)My friend chose mussels which was a full bowl and beautifully cooked,I decided on Thia fish cakes which I love but they were sadly as thin as pancakes and such a tiny portion that I would not advise anyone to ever make the same mistake!Our other three choices of prawns,chicken and?.. we're average portions but I honestly wouldn't want to be paying the normal prices for the portion we received.The sweet potatoe wedges were gorgeous as was the coffee after.People next to us ordered the fish cakes and were so horrified at the miniscule portion they sent it back and complained bitterly as they were paying the normal price too and like myself expected a sensible size and thickness so you felt you had tasted it!I would advise this to be taken off the menu quickly if you can't get the portion /size appropriate for the money as I enjoy coming and will return but others won't which is a shame.

Visited with friends. Nice modern pub with friendly staff, We all Chose tapas..nothing wrong with my meal other than the bread with the mushroom dish was very soggy, the goats cheese tart was very tasty with crispy pastry and the salmon dish with coconut rice tasty also. My friends did have issues with their dishes which were addressed at the time and resolved with politeness.

We had tapas the first time of going, if you like that sort of thing then fine! I'm more of a value for money sort so I like to feel like I've spent money wisely on good food, here I didnt!

Ate here at Christmas and was not impressed but went back again this week and it was back to its usual brilliance. Had the thai curry and timbale of rice which was great. Very tasty and flavoursome. Pudd was raspberry mille feuille which was fantastic. Glad its back to excellence.

The food was generous and the service was good also. The menu over Xmas is a little limited and there is an element of complexity in actually working out what you can order with a 'Three Courses Only' Xmas menu option, Tapas or Tapas starter and a main. But the food was tasty and hot.

I enjoy coming to The Manor for a quiet lunch with friends, family or my husband. I particularly like chilling with my daughter over a hot chocolate (lots of whipped cream and marshmallows) after school. And the staff are lovely!

Had dinner during the week and were pleasantly surprised excellent service backed up by great tasting food in pleasant surroundings. The portions were good and nice and hot. Would not hesitate to recommend eating here.

We have been going to the Manor ever since we had our wedding reception there 29 years ago! When they change into the current format it was with some trepidation that we went to try it out. We have now been twice and on both occasions we had a very nice time and some excellent food. The tapas is really well done and a good way to sample a number of different dishes without exploding. (could get very messy).I would thoroughly recommend the Manor for either a special occasion or just an occasional treat.

Been for lunch, nice typical pub food, the evening when it turns to tapas, very delicious. Also nice as a nip in coffee shop, can't fault it really

Always enjoy it every time we visit here,Great for a quick lunch or a nice evening mealVery friendly and helpful staffWould definitely recommend the steak nights!

I have visited the manor on numerous occasions for lunch and for evening meals. The food is always to the highest standard and the staff are really friendly. It's a great little restaurant which has a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back.

this is a lovely little place, really friendly and attentive staff. Only downside I would say is some of the tapas items, whilst very well presented, were a little bland for my liking. I have eaten here a few times (non-tapas) before and always thought it was excellent so maybe I just didnt order very well - and the rest of my party thought it was great - so maybe just me, but for example. the meatballs were a bit dry and could have done with a little more sauce. on the plus side the teriyaki beef was outstanding, and I am told the mussels were great also, Good choice of ales, and a nice realxing atmosphere, will definitely return

We have visited the Manor House many times, and find the quality and choice of food excellent. The staff are very pleasant and friendly, and are very helpfull in describing the items on the menu.Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, our favourite time being early evening where there is a great choice of meals at 'early bird' prices. There is no reduction in portion size or quality, and an offer on Tapas is also available.The bar area is very comfortable, and ideal for a pre dinner drink.

I regularly visit The Manor House for an extended lunch with my wife. The variety of homemade soups and rustic breads are superb as are the delicious and beautifully presented creations they call deserts. The pair of us regularly enjoy panini creations. The sumptuous melted blue cheese and mushroom having been my vegetarian wife's choice more than a dozen times. (Over the months of our visiting she asked me to emphasise.) From the light meal menu I recommend also one of my favourites the chicken fajita and a side of delicious thick-cut chips. I HIGHLY recommend this place for its great relaxed atmosphere, its exceptional service and the quality of the food. I understand that the accommodation is also very good value for money, particularly in a place as beautiful as Dronfield, where the birds have a lot of happy songs to sing each and every morning.

Lots of choice in grills and tapas. Freshly cooked and piping hot food served in a modern style. We both enjoyed our tasty dinners.Breakfasts were also delicious and filling. Staff were friendly and efficient.

This was my second visit and both visits have been brilliant. Great menu choices and brilliant value for money. Service is fast and the staff a knowledgeable and attentive. We also ate here around Christmas and the meal was one of the best I have had anywhere and fantastic prices for a three course dinner with all the trimmings! Have recommend to friends and family since. Great for couples and family groups.

This is the third time we have eaten at this hotel and we remain slightly disappointed. The tapas menu stated a dish using French brioche bread. The chef obviously didn't know what brioche was neither did the waiters. We questioned the waiters and they liased with the chef and then proceeded to fob us off by saying that the chef had made a home made brioche and used it for various dishes including my partners burger bun!! The chef did not make an appearance and we found this unacceptable as he or she relayed messages via the front of house team.

Lively noisy outlook for party groups, but expensive for what little you get, bottled wine could be less pricey

Firstly, we did arrive less than 10 minutes late, but we were immediately told that all steaks had been "binned" so we were limited with our menu choices. The waitress was excellent and certainly made the most of what she was working with. And did so with a smile. However, the managers attitude stank. When a complaint was raised with her, she was rude and aggressive natured. The restaurant was a let down based on the previous reviews that I have read, and based on previously party members' previous experiences there. Myself and other members of the party will not return at the very lease until management changes.

Went recently for a family birthday. Had a really nice meal. The mushroom starter and sea bass main course were very good. The service was a bit slow but it was a very busy Saturday night.

We visit this restraunt quite regularly for lunch in the week so were glad to get the opportunity to visit at night on a weekend to meet friends we had not seen for a while. We were not dissapointed, I had the Teriyaki Beef starter folowed by the Venison Duo. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and were delicious. No room for sweet! The rest of the party all had different meals which looked fantastic, everyone enjoyed what their meals. Customer service was excellent, as usual, a great night out.

A party of ten booked for a birthday lunch at 1pm.Table reserved, we settled down to relaxing chats with each other. At that time there were no other diners in the restaurant. The young staff, extremely well attired, could not have been more charming or helpful.From a good choice of three or four meals per course, choices were made. Especially nice to see was moules mariniere which was a favourite with three diners. The starters took ages to arrive for which the waitress apologised. Excellent though they were, the main courses - all typical English Sunday lunch fayre took even longer. Still no more diners in the restaurant.With pork on the menu, apple sauce was requested to accompany. To be told that the restaurant had run out was a major disappointment as there is a Sainsburys within a mile of the hotel, open and available to sell cooking apples or jars of apple sauce!It was a most pleasant Sunday lunch and the meals overall really good value for money.Thanks again to the waiting staff for their excellent service.

Very good food, good value for money, extremely friendly and good service from all, but especially the young man who served us. Nice surroundings, overall a great lunch experience and will definitely visit again.

Have eaten here a few times but at Christmas it surpassed expectations. The food is always excellent but the Xmas menu was very impressive. A good veggie choice always. The food is consistently good. Can highly recommend.

We stumbled across this hotel through friends who recommended the lunch time menu and draft beers,it didn't disappoint,wines and draft beers,lagers at affordable village prices,menu was varied with basic/traditional light,Sunday roasts and selection of choices that were appealing.The down side was the atmosphere,very quite,no TV and background music,but all in all not a bad location that has something for everyone,s thirst or appetite.

I got to be honest, I have eaten in much more expensive restaurants & not received the quality of food we got @ The Manor

We had mussels to start and beef/ham for main course. Food was excellent, good value and generous portion sizes. It was the second time I have eaten there and would recommend it to anyone.

The Manor House has never disappointed...As a regular visitor to Dronfield I have often complained about the lack of good restaurants, until that is, I was introduced to The Manor House. There has always been a great choice of food, which has always been delivered to perfection (and I am a particularly difficult customer!). The staff are exceptionally friendly, and nothing seems to be too much trouble (I asked for a bit of a combo of two dishes from the menu)....I would absolutely recommend the Mussels which came with warm bread & we teamed up with a very nice (and reasonably priced) Chardonnay.If you are after value for money, their Thursday night bottle of wine & nibbles is great, along with the relaxing atmosphere it was a very nice start to my long weekend.

Very nice pub/hotel/restaurant in delightful Dronfield.We had food from the tapas menu which had lots of interesting dishes which were beautifully presented but all a bit bigger than I was expecting.However, I would certainly go there again and order less! The staff were delightful and the ambience warm and friendly.

Really poor meal. One of our party had to wait two hours for main meal as didn't have starter. The rack of lamb was under cooked. Had to ask for a steak knife to cut. Forgot our side order..came three quarters of way through meal. Generally very slow service. Will not be returning.

This used to be a really nice place to eat, not sure whats happened recently but the standard of food has gone down ,while the prices have gone up.This steak night is excellent value ,but the quality is not what it used to be.I think it's trying to be something it's not ,it should go back to the way it was when it first opened,which was great value tapas .The plus side is the staff are still as friendly as ever. One dish I would recommend is the fish and chips absolutely the best I have ever had.I would try it again sometime but it's just a bit hit and miss recently ,were as it used to be superb.

Our meal here was some what spoiled by the amateur service - the young girls had no idea how to serve table and spoiled a good meal!
