The Tickled Trout in North East Derbyshire

Went for the first time tonight Great meal and service food was outstanding really well looked after Staters delicious for the mains we had beef and fish courses which were really high quality many thanks for a lovely night in a great gastro pub thanks Pat

Food was excellent. We were waiting a while to order dessert and even longer to get the bill.

Lovely pub with great views food a bit expensive though .

Beautiful place for eats and drinking

A beautiful meal to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary! Will definitely be back! 🙂

Great place for food or just drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Sunday lunch is so good.

Very nice pub and great Sunday lunch. Also has a nice private room for family dining

The 3 of us met up locally for a walking weekend in Peak District and booked here for a dinner. Fabulous food, and lovely staff. We shared the Parmesan and Red Fox Arancini with truffle mayonaise starters. Yummy. Two of the party opted for the Pithivier (squash, spinach, smoked cheddar in pastry), and reported them to be delicious. I chose the sea bream with langoustine bisque, saffron potatoes, and mussels and it was heaven!! we shared a lovely pinot grigo. Friendly, cheerful waitress. was very helpful. Chris Mapp (owner and chef) visited tables afterwards, and divulged his secrets about the pithivier. He has challenged my companions to make their own, and to email him photos of their attempt. .... :-)

Lovely meal Friday evening, last minute decision to go out for dinner, restaurant extremely busy but managed to squeeze us in, food was excellent, really enjoyed the pil pil prawns and had the best chips I’ve ever tasted

We came to celebrate our anniversary and had such a lovely evening. We only live round the corner and visit occasionally for drinks but haven’t had a meal here before. When we arrived there was an anniversary card on the table which was so thoughtful. The staff were all incredibly attentive and pleasant, they really looked after us. I had the arancini to start and then the blade of beef. It was all delicious, I could have licked the plate. When I put my fork into the beef, it just fell apart. The cabbage side was incredibly tasty, mash creamy, red wine jus was rich but not over powering. Every element of the dish was so well cooked and flavoursome, the best food I’ve eaten in a long time. My husband also enjoyed his meal and we both loved the wine (an Australian Shiraz, I can’t recall the name). Finished with scrumptious desserts and coffee. Everything exceptional. We need to visit more regularly!

Ate here whilst staying across the road at Millfield farm cottages(5.minute walk). What a find! Lovely atmosphere,friendly, efficient staff, but the real star of the show was the food! Deliciously prepared and beautifully presented it was perfect. They serve the usual pub grub but go for the dishes obviously favoured by the excellent chef and you won't be disappointed. A nice touch that Chef came to each table after service for feedback - it was all positive! Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely food and great staff

Excellent Sunday lunch!! Superb, tasty and fresh ingredients as always. It is the place for us to go for good food, friendly service and a lovely relaxed ambience. We also had the pineapple dessert which was amazing. Please keep up these very high standards because there are so many other pub/restaurants that are cheaper but for consistent good value and service, we always choose the Trout.

Fabulous rare beef open sandwich- sooo good . Just called in and finding a table was pretty easy on a Saturday lunchtime. 3 of us had soup and sandwich (beef) - a beef burger too. We also share some starters. Delicious and satisfying. We were all very impressed.

We booked the room upstairs and it was perfect. The atmosphere was great, the pizzas were lovely and the service was excellent. We’d thoroughly recommend

Great food great atmosphere loved it .

Staff were lovely and the place is very dog friendly. We had a lovely fish and chips and bottle of wine. Staff didnt rush us and we were allowed to sit and chat the night away.

Just popped in for a lite snack and had a pizza 🍕 to share a couple of drinks and it delicious 😋 cooked to perfection, never disappointed when we come here either for lunch/dinner or just a drink 🍸 it lovely great staff always friendly and helpful very attentive, would recommend it for all of the above thanks Chris for having such a great place and staff too but for the food you cook with his sous-chefs too 👏🏽 See you soon. Paul and Clare x

The Fish and chips was fantastic

Just a wonderful place to eat. Gorgeous locally sourced food, cooked and presented beautifully. Fanastic wine selection, thats really thought through for the dishes on the menu. Chris and his team are a credited to Derbyshire. Can't recommend highly enough.

Lovely meal of roast pork loin .

Just been for the first time and sorry to say we won't returning. Food was not up to scratch, burger just warm and pizza too well done too hard and nearly broke teeth trying to eat it. Charged £5 for a bottle of water. Not good enough for the price charged. Then had the cheek to try and put a £6 service charge on. You are just a pub not a top London restaurant. Could do better in our opinion.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Easy to book online and dog friendly (in the bar area.) Good menu selection plus pizza menu if you prefer. Went for a combo of roast beef and roast pork. Served with all the trimmings plus a side order of cauliflower cheese for good measure. The beef in particular was incredible and melted in the mouth. Pork wasn’t far behind - both were beautiful. Friendly and efficient service throughout, making for a very pleasant Sunday lunchtime. Would highly recommend. One final point: We had a voucher that we didn’t spend the full amount of. There were no arguments about the balance, they simply refunded it onto our debit card. Again, great service with no fuss.

Excellent The Best Sunday lunch ever!! We had such a lovely afternoon, the staff are so accommodating and friendly and even our dog was made very welcome. Couldn’t recommend enough 👍🏻👍🏻

Food came out nice and quick and food was lovely! We had pizzas. However waitresses a bit slow, no one coming around to ask if you want more drinks to us or at all as it appeared. Slow with bill, never came to take the payment. Wouldn’t stop us coming again, lovely atmosphere

Outstanding on every level Food, service and ambiance I rate this as the best pub food I have had while visiting the UK, highly recommend

Although the pub/restaurant was not initially very busy at all, it took an age to be able to order our meal. As the restaurant/lounge bar got busier, the attentiveness of the staff got still worse. The food was good, though.

Gorgeous building with amazing touches. Food and service was incredible 😍

Service is sooooo bad, food is okay. Time and time again the service is just shocking ! We returned in the hope that it had changed. If you delivered your food as quick as your review responses we wouldn’t have an issue!!! Arrived for our booking which we made via the website to be told no booking for us. Had to show the email confirmation. No big issue Food arrived after 45 mins. Ordered desserts and waited another 45 mins, had to ask for our bill as desserts hadn't arrived. The main issue when you take a massive booking for the room upstairs, the rest of the restaurant suffers. We’ll not mention Christmas Day when you refunded half our bill because the service was so bad and we were told we weren’t allowed roast potato’s but that’s another story. Great reply to our review, rather than apologise you come back with a snotty ‘don’t come back’ reply.

Arrived just after lunch was served but to accommodate us they kindly still took our order, excellent customer service

Cannot fault the tickled trout, me and my partner have been visiting for years. They really put their passion into their food, headed up by what I can only assume is an excellent chef and a great team. So this is a review for the kitchen staff in particular. You really do a great job. Not to be forgotten is the front of house staff who are all pleasant and attentive. We enjoyed the beef and chalkstream trout last night. It was the best meal we'd eaten their yet. I encourage anyone to visit the tickled trout and enjoy the relaxed but smart going vibes. A local independent treasure.

This place is overlooking a very picturesque view. There is a small car park to the rear of the property. It has very limited parking spaces, with only one disabled parking space. There is parking available on the side road, but it is a residential area. The entrance at the front is accessible for people with disabilities. However, it could be difficult for wheelchair users. There may be other doors more suitable for wheelchairs and buggy. The restaurant is very light and has an airy feel about it. You are made to feel very welcome as soon as you enter. With the friendly staff you can't help but feel confident that you will enjoy your time there. Being able to wear smart, casual, and even hiking clothes when you go is not a problem. The menu has food to cater for vegans, vegetarians, and those who enjoy meat and fish. The Sunday roast is exquisite, and you are unlikely to be disappointed. It is clean and an enjoyable atmosphere. It is not a cheap place to eat but serves quality food. It has a 'sister' restaurant further along the road that is more dressy, which I will be visiting at some point.

It's a good pub with very nice food. Expensive for what it is and watch out,they put a yip on without mentioning it. According to the landlady they are supposed to mention it. But the don't

Been here a few times over the years and had and amazing burger here back in 2019 and been back a few times since but only on Sundays (no burger on Sundays unfortunately) Came today for a family meal and all really enjoyed the food. I had the burger which was amazing just like the last time I had it. Big big burger with a lovely soft texture and really rich strong flavour. I'm not normally a fan of aging extra unnecessary things to a burger but the slow braised pulled short rib on top was also really tasty and went perfectly with the melty textured burger. It came with thick chips which were also amazing. Perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside but fluffy soft inside. My wife had the arancini start which was lovely. Four small but very very tasty squares of perfectly cooked rice and cheese! Everyone else also really enjoyed their food (rarebit sandwich, trout and the spatchcocked chicken special) Lovely friendly service from all the staff. Will definitely be back again and I would highly recommend this place!

The food was delicious and priced accordingly. Very high quality in taste and presentation. Well worth it. Service was good but ever so slightly slow at times but it was a busy Saturday night to be fair to them. Good atmosphere but a little noisy at times

We had steak & ale pie and fish & chips. Both meals were superb! Definitely the best pub meal I've had in years 😋

A great place nice and friendly too

Function room no good for disabled people too many stairs to go up.Also not much food for the price

Not very dog friendly...complained that our dog barked a few times,as we could only stand by the door,as some people came in and out it frightened her and she barked maybe half a dozen times...nothing major and there was a regular guys dog who also barked..especially when we walked in..seemingly the waitress was asked ..presumably by the manager to ask us to leave..though I cant confirm that...she made out someone was complaining but I don't believe that as no one took any notice of us...Its certainly not very dog friendly...which is ok..not all pubs are...just don't advertise that it is a dog friendly pub..simple Reply to owners comments : I find it interesting that any negative feedback is responded to by giving a different version of events..?..rather than trying to discredit any feedback by altering the events,maybe you would benefit from trying to make improvements on customer service and take any constructive criticism and work to get better.And for info,having a dog menu doesn't necessarily mean that you are dog friendly,it requires patience rather than after few barks asking owners to leave.. and then accusing owners of not ' keeping' their dogs well behaved...it doesn't quite work like that I'm afraid..

Super dog and muddy boot friendly. Boot covers, dog biscuits and water bowls are all provided.... Food is delicious and served by lovely staff... Good selection of beers.... Scrabble set has no letters missing, unlike most pub sets...yes, I counted...we take our Scrabble very seriously 😁😁😁😁

We had an annual family get together today upstairs in a private room. Nice lunch

Came here for a belated 70th birthday and early wedding anniversary celebration and we weren’t disappointed. Every course was beautifully and freshly prepared and cooked to perfection. The menu was a perfect balance of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. The staff were friendly and welcoming and I would highly recommend

Well maintained drinks, lovely and warm welcome. Such a vibrant feel,.

We booked The Tickled Trout for a party of 15 at lunch time and sent a pre order ahead of time. We were seated upstairs in the private room which is lovely and very spacious. Our drinks order was taken when we arrived and arrived quickly, the food followed shortly after. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating and the food was great. Honestly couldn't fault it at all and would definitely visit again.

Delicious food in the dog friendly lounge/bar. Staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. Great menu.

Good food and service. Booked for Sunday lunch so had table reserved but I think there were a few walk-ins who were accommodated. Very popular with dog owners and most were well behaved on the whole. Recommend the roast and their Yorkshire pudding was probably best I'd had eating out.

Always a pleasure never a chore to visit. Fabulous food, clearly freshly cooked. Lovely lounge and atmosphere. If you're undecided as to whether to visit, you won't regret it. Get yoursens there.

Excellent food and service, fantastic atmosphere, really enjoyed it, dis piacia no arancini

Just had a very strange dining experience. Was really impressed when we arrived. A very warm welcome and very happy with the table. All looking good. So I ordered the crispy beef teriyaki. Really good sized portion and so tasty. I was slightly concerned that if this was the starter how big would my main be. I shouldn't have. It was really small. 1 very small fillet of sea bass for nearly £30. Don't get me wrong it was really good but it was far too small. And then my little one asked for a taste I gave her a fork full which was a quarter of my fish. So I order desert. Raspberry savarin. The savarin hadn't been soaked so was really dry and heavy. Bill came and my 2 large glassed of Rosé came to just short of £40. I clearly didn't check that properly. So it started out with much optimism and just slid away. Edit. I did raise the food issues at the time, especially about the savarin. The response was 'sorry, I'll tell the chef'. And that was that. The wine was my fault as I should have read the list properly. That's the problem of being visually impaired. I would return but would choose more carefully.

Recently retired and moved to the area and I have been trying local pub grub out. When my adult son and I were celebrating the day before Mother's Day (to avoid crowds) we booked here on impulse after a day of hiking. Oh my goodness; the food was simply amazing. What a find! It felt very 'Gastro Pub' dining and well above all the standard of previous places I have tried. My son raved about his beef starter and we also, thankfully, ordered the Tarte Tatin (needs 45 mins booking) for dessert. I loved the truffle chicken; how do you make it taste SO good? Loved the mash too. Maybe I would have liked more veggies as I was very hungry. My son loved the amazing gourmet burger and I helped him eat some of those fantastic big chips. Slightly too salty for my personal taste, but it did not stop us eating them. Back to that Tarte Tatin; simply the best ever dessert I have, honestly. The balance of caramel glaze, soft apples and buttery pastry was incredible and we loved sharing the plate. This was quite exceptional. I hope this is a regular on the menu and not just the Specials. In total, we had a celebratory meal with the best food and ambiance. Excellent and attentive service from young staff (but everyone looks young to me) and they really represented the care and attention to detail we found in the food. My son does not live in this area and commented that the food here was better than anywhere local to him in Buckinghamshire. I'd rather dine out less often and go here for a treat, It was slightly more expensive than other pub grub, but way better in so many ways that I am happy to seek out quality rather than quantity. We will return and I plan to recommend Tickled Trout to everyone I know. Really exceptional food and beautiful surroundings. I am so impressed and we have found our new favourite place to dine.

Lovely establishment. Great food. Service could be a tad bit quicker but overall really enjoyed it.

We booked the room upstairs for my mums 50th, the service was great, the room was fab for what we wanted. Food was beautiful, everyone was so thrilled with their food that we talked about it majority of our time there, everyone was trying each others meals. And the dessert.. wow! Brilliant, would definitely go back. Thank you!

I tried to book this place a few weeks ago but their website was down. I contacted them but no one came back to me. I probably should have trusted my gut because now my guts are suffering. Not only was the customer service questionable (& by the way they make you pay for that as mandatory!) but the food was delivered quicker than my microwave pings. Whilst you could say that is a good experience, the amount of oil on my food was creating a separate gravy of its own. The drinks finally arrived to drown the taste away but the food is definitely not worth the money. Shame, as has such potential. The place was pretty empty although they’re very strict on where you can sit too. I wouldn’t normally leave a review, so please note this was for valid reasons.

Best food you’ll find around Sheffield and chesterfield, luckily we have had the chance to eat in lots off good restaurants and gastro pubs and by far is this the best meal on meal gets better every time. Top quality and brilliant staff 💥

We've been three times this year and always had excellent food. This time we tried the charcuterie board - we've never had better and the pork belly is so good. The triple cooked chips are superb. Great staff and lovely room with a cosy wood fire , very dog friendly.

Food was totally amazing, my other half is a chef and he loved the food. Will definitely be coming again. Staff were friendly and professional.

We once again found ourselves taking a relaxed, late Sunday lunch at the TT. Superb as ever. Arguably the best pub in North Derbyshire. The Cod Scotch Egg starter is the unofficial signature dish if one were ever needed. A definite must try if you've yet to visit.

We pride ourselves for visiting many new highly rated restaurants each year. We were introduced to the Tickled Trout at Chatsworth Country Fair where Chef Chris Mapp was doing a demonstration prior to the great James Martin. We promised we would visit and boy it did not disappoint! With a wonderful menu, we were all spoilt for choice with plenty of options even for those who do not eat fish. Every member of Chris and Rachel’s team personally came to speak to us and made us feel very welcome and special.

Just returned from a birthday meal. Bit of both meal, the pork was cold and I hardly had any gravy compared to the other plates on our table, I asked for extra gravy and was supplied with some, only to find there was a £2 charge. Other than the lack of gravy and cold pork, the rest of the food was very nice.

Beautiful food and really welcoming staff, great menu something for everyone. Would recommend booking

We were a party of 4 and purposely had different meals so we could all have tastes. The food was excellent, every we had, great wine & the beer too was very good but what name the night was the staff, all were very professional and knew everything about the menu. We will be back

A little pricey but great food and good service. Would recommend 👌

Great venue, was ok but could be better. We had to pre-book as we were a party of 8, not sure of this is normal, as there is still the same amount of tables in restaurants, and do tables of two have to pre book? Anyway, we sat down, and main course came out within 10 minutes. We wasn’t asked if we wanted any starters, straight into main meal, missed out on 8 starters.! meat was perfect, but was expecting a side bowl of veg or something other than what was on our plates. and the dessert was the same, very small portion. Would have expected more for the price. Bit disappointing.

We went for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely delicious food, staff and atmosphere were A ***** will definitely be back. Fantastic place

Had Sunday lunch Sunday the 21st of January with my wife and kids. Really enjoyed it. Top quality ingredients and a lovely touch with the truffle in the cauliflower cheese. Attentive but unobtrusive service too! If I had to criticise I'd say bigger roasties please!

Great food. Roast beef was cooked to perfection. Excellent quality. Service was friendly and served with a pint of Landlord. Memorable 60th Birthday Lunch after a family walk!

Fantastic atmosphere, the trout was delicious and the roast beef was perfect!

Visited on New Year's Eve and although they had run out of a few dishes on the menu as they were closing down for a week we still had a fabulous meal with great service to match. The side dish of cabbage and bacon to the delicious blade of beef was excellent as was the chocolate fondant tart. We will definitely be returning in the near future to sample more of the menu.

Such a shame the menu was veggie missing..went on a sunday looking forward to a veggie Sunday roast..only ravioli available..so ended up with a pizza ..from there pizza menu which was fab ..but wasnt a Sunday veggie roast which most places offer theses days ..apart from that ..great friendly staff..dog friendly and lovely decor.

First visit and very impressed. Toilets are immaculate which is always a good way to gauge a pub. Comfy armchairs, decent beer and just a lovely vibe. Will return with someone else opting to drive! UPDATE: Been back many times since and this pub is still superb. Proper service, great beers and excellent food. The log burner adds to the relaxed vibe. UPDATE (28/12/23): Had another run out. Impressed as ever and had a wonderful pizza. I've decided this place is worthy of 5 stars.

Another absolutely WONDERFUL meal here again at The Tickled Trout! Our annual family Christmas Eve meal was delightful this evening and we were treated to the private upstairs dining area, which was a lovely surprise. The quality of the food, service, and surroundings were outstanding - along with excellent value for money. We would all 100% recommend this gem of a restaurant…. The chef is clearly a true talent. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

21 of us aged 78 to 1 years old ate here for our annual family Christmas lunch We had the private room upstairs which was spacious and had a lovely atmosphere. Communication ahead of the day was great and the management team were very helpful about menu choices. On the day the food was really delicious and interesting without being too “out there” and the service was really attentive which we all thought was impressive given what a big group we were and that we were in a separate room. The staff were all great and worked really hard to look after us all. So impressed we’ve booked for next year ! Thank you!

Great atmosphere, great service, great food! Most recently, the arancini small plate, bit of both Sunday dinner and brownie were all delicious. A regular spot for food and drinks with family and friends that never disappoints!

I have been wanting to eat here for a while. I wasn't disappointed. The menu is small but sufficient with a balance of everyday favorites and show stopper stunners. The stand out dishes are easy to spot. I had the Blade of beef. It was a delicious balance of flavors and textures. The sauce had such depth and pulled it all together. Each dish showcases a chef who knows flavors and how to bring out the very best in every bit. I absolutely loved it. We were a table of 5 everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant / gastros pub has a very clean, cosy atmosphere with understated sophistication. I really am thrilled to have this gem so close to Chesterfield. We shall be back. A fabulous choice to celebrate birthdays , anniversarys , reunion s but thanks to their menu also great for easy eating if you just want a delicious pizza in a cosy setting. You can't go wrong.

Thoroughly enjoyable lunch today, beautiful pub with a scrumptious menu. The kitchen were very accommodating when I ask to a bit of a change to my order and it was beyond delicious! The pub was very clean and tidy and the staff all looked very presentable, I’d definitely recommend!

Absolutely outstanding. Simply the best food amazing service. Photos do not show the levels of professionalism that goes into there menu. Definitely would recommend for anyone

Lovely cosy atmosphere, the log burner was lit and the Christmas Dec's were up. The Sunday roast was amazing, the beef was beautifully cooked. The staff were friendly and really helpful about gluten free options. Great meal

Cant put into words how amazing the food is! The staff are lovely and always feel welcomed

Went for Sunday lunch for my mums 70th, my dad took 10 of us, we were so disappointed, the food was not great tasteless , 2 small piddly roast potatoes , the veg was absolutely awful , service terrible, and very expensive!! Unfortunately we def wouldn’t return!! Tickled Trout how do you justify the prices that you charge? Absolutely day light robbery, we don’t mind paying high prices if it warrants.

Went for my special birthday Sunday lunch. Very disappointed with the whole meal which was lukewarm and had obviously been sat for some time before it was served. Service was poor. Sorry but we won’t be coming again.

Dog friendly, fast service, banging food

Every THING was amazing! A whole menu of gluten free options is unheard of! The gluten free fish and chips with garden peas was crunchy, fresh and freshly made. The homemade tartare sauce enhanced the flavor. The raspberry sorbet did not disappoint either. Nicole, our server, was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable in what she served. If only I lived closer to come often.

Seriously impressively outstandingly good. Nicole was amazing…

Amazing food (with perfect portion sizes), cosy atmosphere, lovely service! Couldn’t recommend the Highfield House Blade of Beef enough!!

First visit here but certainly won’t be the last. Met with the warmth and smell of a wood fire as we came in from a cold & wet afternoon. Nice circular table in the corner we were soon enjoying some red wine and a couple of pints of Timothy Taylor’s. A great menu to choose from, the calzone pizzas were excellent (although mine was served in a cold plate) and the sticky toffee pudding was superb. We will be back

I rarely review restaurants these days because we don't eat out much unless we are on holiday. Overall, the experience was good. My only real complaint was the lack of a wine list, which meant we ended up paying an expectedly large amount for 4 glasses of wine. The food was good, nearly excellent, and only missing that mark by small faults. The pizza base was doughy. It just needed a little longer cooking. Everything else was delicious and filling, but some dishes lacked refinement given the price. The fish and chips were great, especially the house made chip shop curry sauce. 😘 The halloumi starter tastes fabulous, but it was just lumped in a shallow dish with no garnish. I know this is picky, but I'm not complaining so much as suggesting improvement. The service was good and I am sad that it wasn't busier because it is one of the better places to eat in the area. Having spent two weeks in Looe, Cornwall this September, I can see what they are aspiring to be. They just aren't quite hitting the same levels. Don't not go because of this review, you will have good food, just ask about the drinks prices. 😉

First time visit to this lovely country restaurant . Had a Sunday lunch with family, amazing staff, very friendly and efficient . The food is tasty, homemade and well presented. Lovely atmosphere.

Excellent service and great food bit expensive but for special occasion worthwhile visiting

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here yesterday , Great food and service , Friendly staff , Nice and relaxed even though they were very busy . Crème brûlée was gorgeous , We will be back 😃

Today we had the most wonderful afternoon at the Tickledtrout in Barlow. We hired the private dining room upstairs to celebrate our wedding. The service has been second to none, and everyone commented on how wonderful the food was. Thank you to all the staff, and the chefs for a great experience. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

Very well appointed venue - a cross between a Gastropub and restaurant. Service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive. As for the food the highlights of what we had were the spiced cod scotch egg which was absolutely fantastic (nice and spicy mayo with it) and the Derbyshire pie. I suppose the only thing I might quibble would be that the sides portions could be a bit bigger but that doesn’t detract from a lovely relaxed evening. Would go there regularly if we lived a bit closer.

Excellent food from start to finish with service to match. Definitely returning here. Recommend the Scotch egg and the fish special. Thanks

Welcoming, relaxing and delicious food! We enjoyed a lovely dinner last night at the Tickled Trout, great menu with excellent choice/variety and food excellent. The staff were were warm and friendly on a horrible cold evening, the fire was gorgeous and the music entertaining without being intrusive. The restrooms are beautifully appointed. Thanks for a great evening - we will be back again soon.

I decided to book here on a fellow chefs recommendation. I think Chesterfield is becoming one of the best places to eat and tickled trout shows why on every level. Great welcome, didn't feel out of place. Prompt service and menu was well laid out. We went for scotch egg starter and halloumi starter. Both excellent. For mains the truffle chicken and special sea bream, again both perfectly cooked and very tasty. Service throughout was very good, never had to get attention of anyone as the girls were always around. We was in and out in 70 mins.. had a expresso too. We were told about service charge which didn't bother us.. More on the expensive side, but if you want great food and service, worth every penny. We will be returning soon. Thank you

First time visitors after hearing a good few things about this place Initial thoughts as we walked in was a nice clean are and restaurant, decent sized tables, chairs could do with a clean Before I continue I’ll say that I do understand the area of the place it’s situated in, however… You cannot charge £8.95 for a quarter skillet of chorizo and humous and 2 tiny pieces of bread, it’s scandalous, and simply a rip off. The pea and ham soup my friend couldn’t finish as it tasted so bad, so I tried it and had 1 mouthful and couldn’t eat anymore of it (it takes a lot for me not to eat something) The mains came and was ok, however I wouldn’t even say it was lukewarm, all mains were cold. The only thing that came hot was the pigs in blankets Moving on to the sides - £5.95 for 4 florets of cauli cheese? Come on, £2 for extra gravy? Its comical Head chef must be living in GP heaven, as a whole it all seemed a tad overpriced for what you got and not served hot. Basics in a kitchen. had better carvery’s We aren’t ones to make a fuss on check back, the waitresses were nice and service was ok, we aren’t ones to ask for items taken off of the bill etc but definitely won’t be returning.

First visit and will definitely go again. Really tasty food and excellent service from the team. Thanks for a great evening.

Loved the food. The staff are brilliant. It was so good, I came for a second vist

Hi jacked when paying my bill at the bar with a 20 % service charge . Why is this not mentioned anywhere on the menu or in the pub ? . I always leave a tip of 10% . This 20% is the cost of another meal !! If you’re not making enough on your product please put the cost up ! If you’re not paying your staff enough please put their hourly rate up !! Please do not stealth tax your customers. The meals the four of us had were excellent and my pie was the best I’ve ever eaten but I will not be eating here again unless this issue is addressed. Thank you for your response to my issue .But you havent addressed the automatic adding of the charge to the bill . If we were a party of 10 then i could understand a charge and if you stated somewhere before we ordered that a 12% charge was to be added I wouldn`t have assumed with my math that it was 20% .So please see my point about the charge being a stealh tax on your food
