Three Cottages in North East Derbyshire

What a lovely evening yesterday for Halloween. Such a fantastic well organised event out on by the pub for kids, went with my young nieces 5 and 18months and it was perfect for them. All the staff dressed up, did a Halloween quiz, assured safe trick or treated at the houses behind and timed it so food was on the table when we got in. The gentlemen hosting was great with the kids. And the staff did a great job working around everyone. Well done guys will be back for your next event

We popped here for an evening meal on a Saturday evening. The whole evening was fantastic from start to finish. The food was gorgeous and cooked to perfection. The staff were lovely, efficient and gave the perfect amount of attention to our table. It is often difficult to get this balance right but this team were spot on. At the point I was thinking about ordering a second pint a staff member was at hand asking us if we wanted more drinks. My hubby and I are very happy as we are close enough to walk here which means there is a high chance we will be back very soon.

Our 2nd visit with family who live nearby. Good food, lovely staff & a nice atmosphere. Thank you!

Very lovely place to stop for a Spot of lunch

arrived 1:15pm on wednesday, the place was almost empty. we ordered the lamb pie paired with a drink. the pie was not come with chips or potatos,.so if you are hungry, you may need to order portion of chips extra. this pair pie and drink, also offer a dessert in £5. they gave me extra custard for the dessert when I asked.

Been here couple of times food very good would recommend

Visiting Saturday evening after making bookng for 7 people were met with an update of what was NOT AVAILABLE. At 7 p.m.! No pies which three of us had selected. Only one lasagne left. After struggling to find alternatives we had an hour's wait for food. Not the most comfortable experience for our visitors from Canada. Won't be revisiting anytime soon.

We came here to meet some friends for tea on a Sunday. The Sunday roast stops serving at 4pm so we ordered off the al a carte menu instead. I went for the chicken schnitzel and my partner had the chicken pappardelle, both were delicious!! For pudding we shared the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and again absolutely gorgeous. Really cosy feel to the place, was quiet as a Sunday evening but would happily return as the service was top notch too. Sorry I didn’t take any photos of the food. Doh!

Great food. Great service. Cannot fault anything here. Highly recommend.

Absolutely excallent shepherds pie and apple & raspberry crumble. Chicken schnitzel looked deep fried, not the way to do it, but tasted good. Host was brilliant, will be going more often

We are very lucky as the Three Cottages is on our doorstep. We’ve been on various occasions for lots of different meals and drinks on weekdays and also weekends. The vegetarian options they have are all delicious. I had the halloumi wrap today and that was so yummy. I have been to other popular places such as Bottle and Thyme and also the Hunloke. Neither of those places caters very well for vegetarians where as I’ve never had an issue at the Three cottages. Hubby had the pie deal with a pint and I didn’t manage to get a photo of his as he tucked in that quickly. The staff are always so lovely and so accommodating. Only thing I would say is that on a day like today with miserable weather I was rather jealous of hubby’s pie. Can you please consider adding a vegetarian pie like cheese, potato and leek? I’d be there on a weekly basis if you did 😃 but keep being a lovely pub, with lovely food as there aren’t enough places like yours in the area. We also noticed the newly painted outer exterior today, it looks great!

Been coming here for years. The conservatory & the outdoor area is a brilliant addition to the pub. Food superb & Nicky & her team are brilliant.

Really nice pub with great atmosphere, great food and fantastic, friendly staff.

Fantastic food, lasagne was delicious. My vegan daughter loved the butternut squash wellington. Friendly and welcoming staff and great service. Lovely, clean and cosy pub.

Food was fine and served promptly. Unless there is another car park it is quite small.

Always delicious food & great service. We have been lots of times & never had a bad experience.

Very nice place, looks great inside...very roomy too! I only called here for a couple drinks on a hot day, we sat outside on the front tables...but had we been staying longer, we may have gone outside on the back instead, as its much nicer & more private...cos the front is obvs visible from the road. And we didn't eat food so, don't know what that's like, YET, we will go 1 day & try it...then I'll update this review! Went back for a drink a couple more times since the 1st review. There's some really comfy, big, padded chairs inside at the end, we keep going to them now...my Mum loves them, they're so comfy, she starts dozing off in them...but, she needs arms on the chairs to push on to get up. And she needs a padded bottom, any hard chairs hurt her, so she won't sit on them. Any restaurant that has hard backed chairs, I always take my coat or cardigan, fold it & put it over the back of her chair, cos if she sits back onto it without anything covering it, it hurts her back. But, that's why she has a walker/rollator to walk with, that has a padded chair on it, with a padded handle for the back...for just incase we go somewhere that has no good chairs for her. We went in the disabled toilet this time too, it's quite big inside...Mum went in with her rollator & with me. The only thing I'd say is, there's no mirror in there, cos she wanted to look in 1 & there wasn't 1. But, it does have automatic lights, rather than having to switch it on yourself!

We stopped in for dinner and were very pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the atmosphere was great!! Very reasonable prices. Nice family atmosphere. Certainly recommend!! We will be back!

Lovely pub, nice beer garden and the staff was great

Absolutely amazing. food was spot on service was awesome friendly pub and very dog friendly highly recommended

The Three cottages has all the requirements of a good time. A warm welcome,good atmosphere,lovely restaurant and great food.

This is my second visit to the three cottages very welcoming atmosphere staff are extremely polite and helpful. As I am a wheelchair user, this pub is very accessible and very spacious. Very good size disabled toilet. Food is lovely as always and freshly cooked. Plenty of space and light great outside area for children. Also plenty of parking very close to the pub. Staff always happy to help, Nothing is too much trouble for them 😊 Will definitely be visiting again.

Went for lunch with friends tasty food and great service Will definitely be returning .

Had sausage mash and peas, was very nice. Enjoyed the meal for a change. Having something different. The staff was very pleasant too.

Lovely place to eat and drink. Great service and great g food. 😊

Waited 40 minutes after ordering our meal . The rump steak sandwich was over cooked and mushrooms burn plus bread burnt. Chicken over cooked and dry in the wrap . Burger on rock hard stale bun. No definitely won’t be back for food. Such a shame because the pub looks lovely and the garden to the rear is great .

Had my husbands 60th birthday meal here with all his family .Food was lovely and the staff were brilliant. The pub itself is really nice with a great outside area .Will definitely go back .Thank you to all the staff xx x

Went for tea and drinks Food was great and none of us could fault it. Jackie and Niki are great they are very friendly and efficient Ruby behind the bar is lovely and pours a great pint We will be back very soon

Sorry no food but no real ale and staff not helpful but sitting down eating.

Always a friendly welcome for quiz night (quiz, bingo and chip cob all for current price of £2 per person) great welcome and lovely staff :) I haven't eaten here yet though but the chip cobs are nice!!

Excellent food and fab beer garden

Brilliant food was amazing staff were lovley

Lovely meal today, lovely place to eat, plenty of tables inside and out. Garden area is brilliant, dog friendly too.

Lovely pub, fabulous service and unreal food. Party of 9 and every meal was perfect. We did request some changes to the meals and all of the requests were catered for. 100% would recommend.

Service good and friendly. Food was tasty, served hot. Nice lasagna and tasty mushroom starter.

Good food, staff were helpful and polite.

Lunch here always used to be excellent. Today was very disappointing. The pub is clean and the staff are helpful but the food is poor. My chicken wrap was supposed to come with dressed salad and aioli, neither of which put in an appearance. The wrap was at least half full of red cabbage, not much chicken at all. Sandwiches used to come on sourdough or granary bread, it now seems to be standard white sliced. The fishfingers used to be quite substantial and made with quality fish but today's offering consisted of three small thin pieces of unknown white fish. We won't be returning

Very welcoming staff, nice atmosphere. Food was good though my steak was chewy. Would go again.

Lovely Sunday lunch to celebrate a family birthday, staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious hot and served within a reasonable time frame, we were a party of 11 and all got served within a few minutes of each other spot on and will be back 😃

Great food and friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Called in for our tea on the off chance. Beautiful pub, really clean, comfortable and cosy. Staff were friendly and efficient. We sat in the new conservatory style but which was so nice. Food came reasonably quick , hot and tasty 😋 You have a great place there Nikki, loved it. Highly recommend. Will be fab in the summer with all the outside space 😎

Food was poor however the lady Jackie who was working at the time was wonderful and very helpful. She even prepared a doggy bowl and treats when she knew we were bringing a dog.

Food was ok and beer was too. Lovely little play area for kids too.

Wow. Best pub I have been in for a very long time. I had the best steak and ale pie with some delicious mash, and my mum thoroughly enjoyed her seabass. Awesome wine and the beer was crisp. It's a shame it was raining as my son was unable to play in the garden, maybe next time. Super fantastic service, you know you are in a great place when the staff take the time to entertain your little child while they are also busy. Excellent place!

A group of 16 of us went for Sunday Lunch following a walk in Derbyshire. The landlady and her staff could not have been more helpful in sorting out tables and times . Sitting in the light and airy Orangery was delightful and the food was delicious. A very pleasant place to enjoy a meal, highly recommend!

gluten free people don’t go here!! i’m not coming on here to slander the place as my family said their food was delicious im just coming on here as a gluten and dairy allergy sufferer, they told me on the phone they have a gluten free menu, i got handed a menu with just the gluten removed from normal meals and its lovely how they’re trying to include everyone in the menu but i dont think its fair to advertise gluten free menu and being told theres lots of gluten free options when there isnt. i ordered gluten free fish and chips and i got chips with boiled plain fish no seasoning and the fish on top of the chips so the chips were soggy with the fish juice. and the deserts were ‘gluten free crumble’ but to make it gluten free they remove the topping so your paying £7 for a bowl of stewed apples.

Nice clean pub, helpful staff, food well presented

It's a lovely pub staff where very polite but the food was the worst I've ever had all over cooked and as for the puddings the crumble was horrendous I spent over £150 and will never go back again

Attended for a wake, lovely pub, lovely atmosphere

Had a lovely lunch catching up with old friends. Delicious food and good company

Another fabulous meal at Three Cottages today. Food as always was very tasty and made to high standard and the front of house staff are very welcoming and friendly. Cannot wait to go back to try the new menu from 29th May.

Service poor chips cold but looked like they had been cooked a long time pie OK, wanted to complain but nobody asked if the meal was OK, was going to mention again at the till but again not asked about our experience will not be returning

Loved the food great experience

Amazing food and service, will definitely return x

Excellent place to eat, especially when you fancy off the cuff, enjoyable egg and chip sandwich!! On toast as well!! Great pub, great staff, great hospitality, highly recommend, but don’t all book at once, leave space for me!! 😂😂

We visited today with our dog and enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was very good and very well priced; my OH enjoyed the bacon and cheese burger and I had the halloumi wrap. The young servers we dealt with were absolutely lovely and offered table service to take our orders. Overall we had a fantastic meal and experience, our only negative would be the assistant manager whom we found abrupt and indifferent. When she brought over our meals she didn't even bother to put it in front of my boyfriend and merely placed on the table whilst looking at everyone but us and walked away. We would definitely be back based on the food and overall experience but would hope for an even better experience.

Excellent food and service. Very reasonably priced and Jackie the server was great, friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

We went to the restaurant for lunch and were very satisfied. The service staff were very friendly, the drinks were good and the food was delicious. The restaurant is very lovingly furnished and there are plenty of seats inside and outside. There are also plenty of parking spaces in front and behind the restaurant.

Nice cozy pub. Seating inside and outside. Large parking lot behind the house. Friendly service, delicious food, nice atmosphere. Gladly again.

Very nice enjoyed lunch out with our grandson !

Lovely place clean and food excellent

Lovely warm welcome and polite and helpful staff.the food was excellent

If I could give this place 1 star it would flatter it, avoid avoid avoid. Ping ping meals, shocking service, expensive, think I would rather have a ping ping tesco meal next time.

Booked for anniversary with family and friends. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. The service was excellent as was the food and venue Would we go again a big yes from everyone

Not been for a while, but I'm sure it use to be a lot better over all.

IF YOU ARE GLUTEN FREE - do NOT go here!!! Even though they advertise a gluten free menu - what they actually mean is - here’s a menu that we’ve taken off anything that has gluten in it and you can have what’s left. I hate this concept! Here’s an example: “Homemade crumble of the day. Buttery flapjack topping, creamy custard” - to make this gf - we serve it with no topping!! So stewed fruit and custard then eh?! Shocking really - absolutely shocking - how hard does it have to be? Poor waitress was lovely - if not embarrassed!

Me and my partner and kids come yesterday for mothers day. Had a lovely meal and stayed for drinks after. Nice staff and homely surroundings and atmosphere. 😁

Do not go here for Sunday lunch!! The worse service I’ve ever witnessed. Waited 30 mins to get a drink. Waiters and waitresses did their best to keep their heads down so you couldn’t catch their attention. When we complained, the waitresses rudely responded with ‘we’re busy’. Meats was over cooked. Do not waste your money.

Good food, nice setting, great outdoor area. Drink prices a bit on the high side compared to pubs further up the road!

Nice place to eat the meals are simple and basic, but we'll cooked and served

Went for a group Christmas meal and there was no loss of quality. Very nice. Good staff. Another year, great staff and atmosphere. Food portions were a bit on the small side, even the pensions finished 3 courses.

Phoned on route to see if there was a table available and when we arrived a nice table was reserved in the conservatory. We had the lasagne, which is always lovely. The only criticism I now have is that there is now an additional cost for the garlic bread at £2.50 which I feel should be included with the meal. We purchased this and a side of skin on fries between us which was ample. The staff were polite and pleasant and we had a lovely time.

The Three Cottages has lovely food, a brilliant team and a great atmosphere. The pub quiz in Tuesday is the best around! We always feel so welcome whether we go for food with the family or just 2 of us for a drink. Would highly recommend a visit!

Loved it. Very friendly staff, great food, and good choices

A lovely little pub to stop off for a drink. There was plenty of drinks to choose from and the staff were very helpful when deciding what to have. The staff are friendly and the pub is so cosy. Food smells lovely and we will be back to try it soon!

Lovely fresh cooked food. Very friendly staff. Visited on a Monday evening, so was quiet (hence only 4 stars) for atmosphere, but would definitely visit again when working in the area and would highly recommend.

Pub is upto date & modern, pity tables, floor & seating hasn't been kept clean. Prices are extortionate single Malibu & Lemonade £6. We would of eaten, but food didn't look very nice. Given 3 stars overall as staff were friendly.

Booked a meal for four on a Saturday evening. Arrived an hour early but were accommodated and seated with no problem. Staff friendly, venue rustic and cosy. Lasagne was very good, chicken dish was also tasty. Crumble and custard very good. Will be going back.

Fabulous Sunday roast. Amazing food, great service and atmosphere

The place was very quiet when we went but the venue is very modern with an air of sophistication and class, and the food was fantastic, especially the steak was one of the best I've ever been served and cooked perfectly medium rare which in itself is somewhat of a rarity at most places.

Great pub, with a good selection of drinks.

Good food at good prices. Good beer at high prices.

Great service as usual here, been many times and never fails to impress. We had 4 mixed grills in our group with all the steaks cooked perfectly as well as the other meats, a definite recommendation to all to visit here.

Great place, excellent food, friendly service. Best meal we have had for a long time!

Went on Christmas day party of 9 adults 2 Children, we all had a fantastic time nothing was to much trouble, the service was outstanding all food came out hot and it was perfect only one thing i could say is could do with more mash potatoe, otherwise it was gorgeous. So thankyou to all the staff you did an amazing job. Made all our day so lovely id definitely recommend. Top quality. The Sanderson party.

It was my birthday. My partner booked the table and we were all very surprised on how things was. Staff very polite. The meal was excellent. Even though there was a few Christmas parties the atmosphere was great 👍🏿

Amazing place to visit. Me and my family went for a birthday meal and we will be returning

Food always excellent. Never a problem getting served. Sunday roast good value for money and always fresh veg

Just Mush Booked a Sunday lunch with the family, lovely setting since they re-furbished, but avoid the conservatory when it’s cold as this is much colder than the rest of the restaurant (they know this as they have put a small fan heater in the corner), the draught from the car park doors is really bad. We all ordered a Sunday roast, (including 1 veggie) & the food arrived promptly, but that’s where the positive comments end. It was towards the end of service, but it seemed as if the food had been sat on a hot plate for hours, the beef was chewy & dry, the roast potatoes were dried out & cold, the mashed potato was out of a packet, but the carrots were the biggest surprise, I managed to wring water out of them (guess you couldn’t accuse them of being dry). No check from the staff to see if we were enjoying our meals, so we ate what we wanted, left quite a bit, paid the bill (no tip) & left. We will vote with our wallets & not return. Staff 3/5 Surrounding 4/5 Food 1/5 Value 0/5

This place is great I loved my meal.I recommend Jackie one of the waitresses she is so kind and patient, answers all questions asked and is really helpful

Food and service good, down fall even though a dog friendly pub, you'll get the odd one barking

We had a lovely family meal here on Monday night for my son’s birthday. Jackie was very welcoming & helpful, the food was great and all good value!!

Excellent venue. Was really hopeful of a place to revisit. Menu ok. Prices high quality and quantity low. Plastic chips. Will not be back sadly, lovely place let down by the food.

Jackie and team are lovely always very welcoming. Good for a laugh and some good food.

Wonderful food, excellent service, very friendly staff and a very nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Staff friendly, food looks good well presented, which I've not tried yet. A selection of beers offered

Our first experience here while visiting friends. It won't be the last.

Worst Sunday dinner I have ever eaten got a mix dinner of beef and chicken the chicken looked boiled ! On a bone asked for it to be exchanged for pork which was even worse it was very wet and fatty couldn’t even look at it never mind eat it the veg was hard and stale the beef was tuff I was so disappointed I said I’m sorry I can’t eat that for them to say iv taken it off the bill .. I didn’t get an apology awful the young waitress was nice who took our order tho ….

A lovely welcoming pub , visited twice this year for a function.

2 pints of beer and 2 fruit shoots £14.70 . extracting the Michael. sorry
