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!

Cosy pub with rooms round the back so no noise. The room was clean, warm and had everything we needed. The pub itself is really cosy, with good selection of beers, lagers and even mulled wine! Breakfast was great, service was quick and staff were super friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and thanks to all the team! :) Ps the pub and the rooms are dog friendly.

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*

Great place for lunch while out on a hike, excellent choice of sandwiches for a hiking lunch, and deserts that could not be resisted! Really friendly and welcoming staff as well in a proper pub setting on an Autumn day with the fire going, couldn’t be better, thank you!!

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!

Wonderful and cosy would recommend strongly. Came after a massive hike settled down and the staff were really nice.

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.
