The best restaurants in Calver Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

A welcome stop for a coffee and other snacks midway through a walk. Good nearby picnic tables. Friendly service

Beautiful little van selling lovely coffee and cake. Great stop in between walking.

A fabulous visit to the Curry Cottage. The food was fabulous, with a great menu of traditional as well as many chefs specials. The staff were friendly and attentive and I could not fault anything. Will definitely be booking again!

Stayed overnight recently. Arrived to check in at 4 - lady behind the bar couldn’t find the room key - the cleaners had it - check in was supposed to be from 3. Room ok, clean , but the whole place is in an urgent need of some TLC. Parts of it are really off putting. Breakfast was ok but slightly confusing as to self serve/how to order as the lady at breakfast didn’t explain. Sat 10 mins waiting to be attended before I realised the cereal was behind me on the bar. 5 mins later the chef came out and asked what we wanted. I had higher hopes of this place but we won’t be going back. There are much better around in my opinion.

We managed to find an indoor table for 2, by the counter, after an invigorating walk at Cuber Gap. It was quite full for lunch and some had even gone outside in the marquee. The homemade soup was good and the rustic baguettes were filling and tasty. Good service, thanks

Let’s be clear. This is the best chip shop that is not on the coast we go regularly and never any problems. Really enjoy it. Friendly staff. It’s busy, really popular. And can’t fault it usually. However if you go anywhere near closing time then they won’t warm up any pies so you get what you get. Is sort of understandable However they’ve changed pies, now have teeny thick dry pastry pies, with dry ‘filling’ fairly tasty, presumably some ‘premium’ brand that have got it all wrong. Now I’m sure the defence will be high quality meat etc locally reared but if the pastry is too thick and the sauce inside all but gone then it doesn’t really do the quality of the meat any favours. And I don’t care about cost. I didn’t even notice if the price had gone up. I just don’t want to drive home and then be disappointed when I open what is normally an excellent takeaway. I’ll come again but back to the fish for me

Great food and drink, lovely atmosphere and dog friendly that is completed by a warm welcome and excellent service. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Now the Calver Arms. Visited on Sunday 10th November for Sunday Carvery - was excellent, most delicious beef served with all the trimmings, veg and extra gravy. Great food, will definitely return again. 5*

Very nice tumeric chicken and fish and chips. Loved the smaller portion option . Would highly reccomend. Nice inside aswell

We stopped by for cakes and coffee. The coffee was excellent, and the cakes were superb! It was hard to choose from the display. They were very different to the usual cafe options. Each looked very appealing, and far beyond the usual options. Whoever makes them has a fundamental understanding of the alchemy needed to make the perfect cake! The service was friendly and unrushed. Despite being near a busy junction the cafe was spacious and calm. Well Done!

Absolutely loved our evening here. The staff were friendly and helpful and brought a highchair to us for our baby. It's really kid friendly and the food was top notch and absolutely gorgeous. I'd say better than some high end restaurants. You've definitely got a returning customer after tonight. Thank you so much to all the staff. This is also a dog friendly pub with an area where no dogs are allowed. I think this is a fantastic idea whilst inclusive for everyone.

Held our running club Christmas meal for 17 people here. Having pre-ordered our meals the week before, the service was excellent, efficient, and each course came out on time without ever feeling we were bering rushed. The ladies serving us were polite, freindly and cheerful, and helped make it a most memorable event. The food was delicious with good-sized portions of perfectly cooked and varied ingredients, well presented, and universally enjoyed. Can't speak highly enough of you all, thank you!

We were looking for somewhere to have a New Year's Eve dinner and decided to book here without seeing the menu first, bit of a gamble! Well it paid off, as we had a superb meal here. The food was delicious and beautifully cooked - duck, halibut, beef and the chocolate pudding was so good. The service was excellent too, despite being full, we didn't wait long between courses. It was a lovely place to spend New Year's Eve - nicely decorated and exceptionally good food. What a find and only 15 minutes drive from home. We will be booking again in 2025.
