The Prince of Wales Baslow in Derbyshire Dales

We popped in here on the off chance today after a walk. Thankfully we managed to get a table and we are incredibly pleased we did. The service is professional and friendly. The food was brilliant. My Husband and Son had the Sunday lunch, which both of them were very impressed with. I had the fish and chips which was one of the the best ones I've every had in a restaurant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant but would imagine in the busy season you would have to book in advance.

Very nice pub. Food was so tasty. Excellent service, friendly staff.

Ordered the Chicken Liver Parfait for starters with the Ballotine of confit duck for main. Greats hosts with even greater food. Possibly the best dish I have eaten out, if this was my local I would be coming here at least once a month for the confit duck. Come here for a chef with outstanding knowledge on food prep and flavours and friendly and formal staff.

A very nice lunch with good fresh food at reasonable prices, with a selection to suit everyone. We have been for drinks before and the staff are consistently great.

We had a beautiful and delicious lunch. The staff was very nice and made us feel welcome. The food was creative and really really good.

Beautiful setting & fabulous food & great service.

Extremely rude staff who won’t hold back from raising their voice at you.

We arrived here on a whim on Easter Sunday. The staff were very accommodating. However, it's been the best food we've eaten out in a very long time. The staff were lovely and provided very prompt service. The food is definitely worth the money. You get a good portion and you can tell it's all fresh and well cooked. Would highly recommend!!

Absolutely fabulous food, really nice staff

The staff were increasingly unfriendly, locked us out of the terrace and then when we called to be allowed in, they refused to serve.

Absolutely exceptional food, brilliant service and a lovely vibe. I genuinely cannot recall the last time I had food in a pub, that would grace a Michelin star table. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Just fabulous

Recently been in the area working at a Local hotel and popped in for a coffee and other things and I was welcomed like a local.. Staff are amazing and I will definitely return when I can...

We had a great Sunday lunch with amazing service. Another plus was we could take our dog. Booking advised.

Popped in on the off chance yesterday during a walk for a quick drink, staff were super welcoming, very friendly! We didn’t try the food as it was very busy but from what we did see the meals looked very advertising, can’t wait to go back and dine in!

Nice place nice staff a bit overpriced for what you get but I suppose you are paying for the location

The food was amazing highly recommend! Service was great too, can recommend the burger, steak, mango posset desert and pork belly 😍

We went for a drive to the peaks and found this gem of a pub, great service and outstanding food. Would highly recommend a visit and have to lots of people.

Everything was excellent, roast lamb roast, sticky toffee pudding, cooked to perfection. Will definitely look forward to another visit. Service was very good and it has lovely decor. Can't recommend this enough

Lovely food, service and atmosphere.

Visited today 23/02/25. Lovely pub, great food, friendly staff. We hadn’t booked and they were fully booked but the staff fitted us in to eat in the bar. The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous! The menu is simple but everything we ordered was spot on. The service was great too!

Excellent food, great atmosphere

Amazing belly pork starter followed by roast beef Sunday roast. Absolutely amazing quality . Would definitely eat again !

We went here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were not disappointed. Service and food was excellent. Obviously freshly prepared and well presented. Great offer to have the choice of champagne with your meal. I would have preferred not to eat right by the kitchen because of staff foot fall and ambiance however my husband absolutely loved watching the chefs work 😂 so a perfect meal for him.

Nice staff and atmosphere and food was lovely

Top quality meal.......and they use Hendo's as a marinade: superb

Even though this place isn’t our usual place to meet up with family halfway, we will 100% be returning! The service is absolutely fantastic and the food is even better if only a little pricey but I guess you get what you pay for.

I could see the kitchen & was not only impressed with my food but also with everyone else’s. Exceptional food ! & The staff were attentive.

Staying in Baslow and just enjoyed a great meal at the Prince of Wales. Perfect service and sensational food. If you're visiting Chatsworth then definitely not one to be missed.

Ooooo...we booked and dined here after a lovely day at Chatsworth....super Christmassy atmosphere as you enter this gorgeous warm and friendly pub. Staff were friendly and on the ball, very busy with hardly a wait, and the food? Well, what can I say, just superb, clean plates all round! We enjoyed it immensely and will be back soon as we forgot to tip!!! Happy Christmas to you all

Service very slow and lunchtime wasn't busy, gf options a let down, no bread or crackers for cheese - which was dry and old! Mains was either very dry or very small

Love this place and we visit once or twice a month. We love sampling something fabulous from the starts with bread and French fries to share for lunch. It’s not too much and we can still enjoy our walking in Derbyshire as the pub is in a fantastic area for a good walk in the countryside

After reviewing restaurants within this area, The Prince of Wales reviewed very well. We were not disappointed. There is a good selection of starters and not the general pub selection. I had risotto and my wife had pigs cheeks. Both were first class. We then had a Hand Made Beefburger each. The burgers were fantastic. One of the best burgers I have had for a long time. It was just like eating a steak sandwich. Would I go again and recommend. Definitely. If you like my reviews please follow me, as I regularly review.

Had a catch up here with family over lunch. A good variety of options on the menu, the food was delicious, all thoroughly enjoying our meals. Really nice service from Elena. This was my first visit here and will make sure it is not my last.

Absolutely fantastic food, real ales and service. Staff were so polite. Thank you for a great time. Highly recommended. Wayne, Teresa and Eric the sausage dog :)

Excellent food and service for lunch with the family. Food choice and quality of the children's menu was excellent too.

It was very expensive for a very tiny portion.

Was just passing and dropped in by chance and had a great meal, a bit above the normal standard of pub food, lovely service and a lovely atmosphere and decor

Excellent food and beer and wine. Great service.

Fantastic pub Also restaurant that is upmarket if desired or back down to the proper country pub

Lovely meal, comfortable surroundings and good service. I'd be happy to return.

We’ve come away in our caravan for the week, popped in for a drink and then decided to eat. This pub/restaurant is absolutely lovely, staff exceptionally friendly , helpful and the quality of the food for the value you pay is exceptional! It’s very clean, modern with a personal touch… I cannot speak highly enough and anyone who goes will not be disappointed! Them as k you for a lovely meal

Had an excellent meal here, food was delicious. Didn’t catch the barman’s name on the night but the service was really good and very attentive

Had an absolutely amazing meal here the food and staff were great can’t wait to go back.

Very welcoming; staff were attentive and professional. The seating area was very comfortable & wheelchair accessible. The food was exceptional. You are not over-faced, and good quality food and presentation. The kitchen is open plan, as to where you can see the kitchen staff at work. We would definitely be returning!

What a great place to find. We booked on line a week ahead our our stay at the Chatsworth CAMC site across the road. Greeted warmly, but as we were a bit early we grabbed a drink in the bar and sat down. 20 mins later another member of the team showed us upstairs to our table. We chose wisely with the Lamb & Beef dishes which were delicious, washed down with a lovely Shiraz. All in all a fantastic Sunday dining experience. Highly recommended.

Food exceeded expectations and great service.

Went here for our 5 year anniversary. Won't be returning. Food is chain pub quality for a 5* price. We were shoved in a side room where you can see the kitchen yet food came cold. Mains followed the starters like almost immediately so I'm not sure how 'freshly made' food it. I ordered the burger without sauce and with being in view of kitchen could hear them moaning about our order. Followed by a member of the kitchen watching me eat it. Once we'd declined dessert that was it. No one came back to us, another round of drinks would've be nice but nothing. The other half had to go find someone to pay the bill. Whilst he was gone (I'm assuming it the was accountant that was seated next to us as someone brought them a large bag of receipts.) our server appeared and stood next me to talking to them. To which the person had to tell her to move so I could leave. Never once was asked how the food was. Just seemed like they'd got our money and were done with us. Not how we wanted to spend our Anniversary. £130+ wasted! As locals to the area we'll stick to the pubs we know. If you want a fine dining experience try the Maynard.

Overpriced and the worst Burger I've ever eaten. They should be ashamed

Booked for lunch today - 4 x roast beef and lamb. Meals were served quickly and tasted great. Service was quick and friendly. Will return!

Small problem with meal quickly sorted out.

**A Delightful Dining Experience at The Prince of Wales Pub in Baslow** Our recent visit to The Prince of Wales Pub in Baslow was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, marked by the newly refreshed surroundings and an inviting restaurant ambiance. The décor strikes a perfect balance between modern comfort and traditional charm, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of dining here is the visible pass from the restaurant, offering a fascinating glimpse into the kitchen's workings. It's always interesting to see the culinary team in action, adding an extra layer of engagement to the meal. Service was exemplary – attentive, friendly, and quietly efficient, ensuring that our dining experience was relaxed and enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm and congenial, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal. I opted for the roast lamb, which was nothing short of excellent. The lamb was tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by a generous portion of fresh vegetables including carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and green beans. The meal was elevated by a massive Yorkshire pudding and a dollop of mint sauce, adding a delightful traditional touch to the dish. In summary, The Prince of Wales Pub in Baslow offers a wonderful dining experience with its refreshed surroundings, engaging kitchen views, excellent service, and delicious food. It's a place I would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.

This place is awesome! Food is delicious, waitresses are kind, and the atmosphere is excellent. The only thing bad is the price is quite expensive, but I think it's worthy.

Had Sunday lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was cooked perfectly, beef just pink, lovely tender chicken. The veg was delicious (cauliflower cheese is a must have), the roasties and yorkies were also excellent. Staff were friendly and professional and service faultless. We'll be back!

Booked for Sunday lunch today. We had the roast beef dinner and it was one of the best I've ever had. I love my veg, but I'm fussy about how it's cooked. This was perfect. There were 5 veg with the roast and we added a side of cauliflower cheese. All were perfect, neither over nor under cooked. Would definitely recommend. It wasn't cheap at £22 but if you’re looking for a really good meal, it's worth it.

Pint of San Miguel + Glass of Pino Grigio

Came across this place by chance. What a cracking place. Great decor friendly attentive staff and the food was fabulous cooked to perfection veg aldenti and at a fair price. Apologies I've posted the wrong photo of my food on the day but,my review was spot on

As great as it could be, as always. Spotlessly clean, great food and friendly staff... An all round good upmarket venue as you would expect All matching the surrounding village of Baslow

My husband and I had Sunday lunch, he had beef & I had the lamb. It was absolutely delicious with the meat cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed a dessert too - sticky toffee pud & queens pudding! To die for!

An excellent experience and meal. Whilst it was the Steak special offer we decided on the burger and both my wife and myself can say it was the best burger we have ever had. The relish was delicious and left a lovely warmth to the mouth. I have no hesitation in recommending this place if you are in the area

Great Sunday lunch with extended family and a dog. Delicious food, nice ambience, pleasant helpful staff. Just dropped 1 star as quite pricey and some portions a bit on the small side.

Everyone at the table remarked how their food was extremely salty. Way over seasoned. The starters were great, however the mains were so salty, especially the curry and the burgers. The chips on the fish and chips were apparently soggy and disappointing. All sort of fine but at the prices they charge you'd expect better. Don't think we'll be going back.

We had Father’s day meal very nice pub very good staff and good food good value.

Spent the evening at the prince of Wales Hannah and Lucy our waitresses was exceptional. Couldn't ask for more and extremely professional! Thank you

Fantastic (if somewhat pricey) food, and excellent service. Two of our party had the rib eye grill, beautifully accompanied with an excellent peppercorn sauce.

We visited The Prince of Wales for a drink after visiting Chatsworth. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property was decorated to a high standard but this was let down by the clinical white ceiling lighting.

Perfect place to end tge day and dine.

Went in for drinks was impressed with atmosphere and friendly staff didn't have food but they looked bizi so will be going nxt time for food.

Great friendly atmosphere. Food was plentiful and fairly priced.

Enjoyable meal. Service friendly. Smart environment.

Very attentive service and food is top quality, its a huge step above a normal pub restaurant with an excellent selection of wine and beer. Would recommend to all

I went on a Friday and the pub was busy which is clearly a good sign that the locals love the place. I'd booked a table in the restaurant, if you do this try get a table with a view of the kitchen, for a great dinner show, it's the most well behaved and well coordinated kitchen I have ever seen. The food was great, we had the duck and the lamb, both amazing. Sticky toffee pudding and chocolate mousse for dessert also fab. Staff were friendly and polite. Overall a very pleasant evening. They also do a fish and chips and fizz night, (I think on Fridays) which I will be back to try as the plates coming out of the kitchen looked superb.

Came here for my 24th birthday and was really happy with the food which was delicious, the service which was fast and friendly & the atmosphere of the place was lovely. Been before prior to this and will definitely be returning!

Excellent meal. We both had the fish and chips which was the best we have ever eaten. As it was a Friday we even had a free glass of prosecco. Could not fault the food, service and atmosphere. Really worth a try. It's dog friendly in the bar area too.

Just stopped in for a drink. Lovely ambient place friendly staff.

Simply good food! Will return in the future. One thing I hate is bad food, and the Google review is correct, blessings to you!

Pricey but worth it! Creative menu, great service, beautiful location 👌🏼

Very nice place to call for lunch after a walk along froggatt edge. Definitely will call again 👍🏼👍🏼

What a lovely place and the food was amazing

Stopped off at this lovely place on the way back from a nice walk. What a lovely vibe. Brilliant beer selection and the food was second to none, highly recommend 👍

Very friendly, welcomes dogs in bar,food excellent, reasonably priced. Cannot find any fault.

Lovely pub with a decent roast about 2/3rds way through a 4 hour walk. Dog friendly too.

Lovely food and friendly service

Great place to stop for a drink walking from Chatsworth house with our dog ..

Never in my life have I had such good food!

Nice friendly pub, staff friendly, food looked good, never had any, just stopped here for drinks

I didn't eat here, so I'm unqualified to comment on the food. The pub was very clean and warm. The beer (Abbeydale Moonshine) was as good as I expected it to be. This is a dog friendly pub which is always a plus pont in my view.

Amazing atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend. Steak & burgers were brilliant, as is the wine selection! Will definitely be coming back.

Very tasty food indeed, service very good, surroundings very modern, minimalist so sound bounces around a lot making it quite frenetic. Good fun enjoyed it.

We were seated in the dog friendly area. Every time someone went out or came in a driving wind blew through the bar area. It was really cold and the atmosphere totally spoilt out , and our guests luncheon. We have been coming here for years when it was called Rowleys. We will not be returning to The Prince of Wales!

We are from Australia and we were really keen on tasting local English food . The food was fresh, balanced ,well portioned and staff are attentive and welcoming:-) We all left with clean plates ! It was the best meal we have had so far on our trip here in England . I would definitely come back again if I ever make a trip to the UK in the future !

Nye afternoon absolutely spot on friendly staff they were extremely busy did their best only drank there will be back to try food hospitality at its best pps sort door out out .

The best roast dinner eaten out for many years - delicious desserts too!

The pub was nice, clean and welcoming. Nicely decorated. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The fish and chips, pictured, were nice, but the batter could have been crispier. The chips were lovely. A note to management, an open kitchen is a brave choice and adds some nice theatre to a restaurant, however it doesn’t look great when all the chefs are leaning against the counter on their phones.

Called in 'on spec' on a very busy Boxing day lunchtime. Luckily I managed to get a table very quickly as a couple were just about to leave. I was a solo visitor but I had two dogs with me. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. Because of my situation, one of the staff came and took my order usually customers go to the bar. I enjoyed a Turkey Bacon and Brie sandwich with big chunky chips all delicious and I was so full I had to leave some. Washed this down with a half of Aspell cider. Forgot to photograph the food, but took a few shots of this cosy country pub which has been updated and styled very tastefully. All the staff were smiling, friendly and helpful. Overall a great experience and I will call again.

Lovely anniversary meal. Better than normal pub grub, this is a far more refined dining experience. The monkfish in a tikka masala sauce with pickled chillies was memorable as was the lamb shank. Friendly, obliging and chatty staff.

Lovely, friendly staff. Beautiful food. Well worth a visit. *****

Highly recommend. Delicious food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. We order fish & chips and slow cook roast beef. Fish and chips is fantastic, beef is bit tough. Will back absolutely.

Really lovely place to eat out. Very efficient and friendly service and great food. I would definitely recommend!

Earlier in the week, I visited this place. Firstly, the ambiance and seating in the bar were pleasant—I'd definitely classify it as an upper-class pub. The service was also excellent; the staff were really friendly and adept at accommodating some of the other diners' dietary needs. Now, onto the food: I opted for the Classic Burger. I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. The meat lacked a specific cook; it was surprisingly uniformly gray, given its thickness. Additionally, there seemed to be a lack of variety in sauces within the burger, and the flavors didn't blend well. However, the fries and salad that accompanied it were enjoyable. I couldn't help but notice that the other diners I was with seemed to have ordered tastier dishes, which better showcased the kitchen's capabilities. Perhaps the burger I received was an exception, not meeting their usual standard. Nevertheless, I will give the benefit of the doubt and rate this place 5 stars, but maybe just don't go there for a burger.
