The best restaurants in Wingfield Amber Valley East Midlands

Bubbling atmosphere and such a historic place! Almost looks untouched. Pizza was strangely good and building was so aesthetically pleasing

A little bit of a hit and miss food experience. We wanted to try the restaurant as it has great reviews. The starters we have the croquette and risotto and mains the lamb and the burger. The croquettes for starter were very nice with obviously a lot of work the risotto however was pretty plain and quite bland and not particularly appetising. For mains the burger was nicely seasoned good flavour and good portion and in contrast the rump of lamb was lacking in flavour in all compartments and in quantity. Very little seasoning and very little flavour in the gravy. it seems some dishes work well and some not so well. Our suggestion would be the dishes should be more proportionate to each other. Price wise not exorbitant but not cheap either. In addition from arriving around 7:30 and having a drink and ordering by around 7.45 both dishes had been served by 8: 15 so we felt slightly let down by the whole restaurant experience as it was all over very quickly. Slightly Blah Blah Blu Blu but I suspect if you know the best dishes to order it will be a nice evening's experience.

Excellent food. Our third visit and always good and reasonably priced. Fully booked as always!

Excellent! Very tasy food, lovely, cosy atmosphere and outstanding polite and welcoming staff. Highly recommended 👌

Staff are friendly. Food is cooked to a nice standard. The pub was not busy, but that is how I like it.

Did an 8.5 mile walk and had the best pint of Thatchers at the end next to a roaring fire. Great landlord who went above and beyond for us.

Had Sunday Dinner with family recently and the roast dinners were stone cold including the gravy. To be fair the waiting staff did ask if everything was alright and I didn’t say anything as the meal was being paid for by a family member and I didn’t want to cause a fuss but they do need to ensure all the meals are put out on the pass at the same time as some meals were hot and others weren’t. It’s a shame because the food was ok but wouldn’t have been better if served hot. I also have to say that the waiting staff need more training as one of the young waitresses wasn’t very friendly at all plus not sure she knew anything about what she was actually serving e.g. said the vegetarian wellington was a beef wellington initially but didn’t apologise or acknowledge when we queried the dish. All in all I would return but there’s room for improvement.

An excellent, generous Sunday lunch as always. The owners are charming and always make guests feel welcome. The Yew Tree is cosy, friendly and atmospheric. And I doubt many places offer similar value for money for such lovely home-cooked food.

Valentines Day lunch. Great Timothy Taylor Landlord beer, kept perfectly. Lamb Shank was admirable, Fish pie was delicious, Sausage and mash was ok then came the pie of the day. Ooops, The pie crust was old. Not browned nor puffy just a bit of old tough pastry. The filling was good. It came with rustic chips which were perfect. The mushy peas contained something other than mushy peas. 3 items which looked like old chips or there must have been some "crust" in the mushy peas pan. It looked to me like old chips which called up a vision of other peoples plates being scraped back into the pan. The meal was immediately sent back with a request for explanation. The Chef was adamant that the 3 items were mushy peas. I'm 77 years old and have never had mushy peas like that. Anyway an alternative was offered which by then meant I would be eating on my own as the rest of party would have finished. My wife has had a restaurant for over 20 years and couldn't understand the reluctance from the server and apparently the chef to admit something was wrong. Will I go back? Probably not. Although the beer was great the meals were ok, however there are better and more competitive venues in the area. I don't like being told I can't identify mushy peas!
