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!

Very disappointed. The mini pork pie is disgusting!!! We have been visiting many times but, we shall not go there anymore.

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

We previously stayed here for one night last year and so when we were looking to have a few days away, we decided to stay here again but for 3 nights this time as the location of the Moon Inn is perfect for visiting the Hope Valley and surrounding areas. Our room was ready at 3pm when we had arranged to arrive and was clean, warm and well presented. During our stay, the tea, coffee, milk, cups & glasses were replenished every day and, although we were happy to use the same towels over our stay due to being able to dry them quickly on the super warm towel rail, they would have been replaced if we had wished every day too. A negative point to our stay would have to be that directly outside the door to our room was a refrigeration unit, which we presume was to do with the kitchen below. This was on all the time making a rattly, humming noise that during the day wasn't that obvious, but during the silence of the night could be heard through the wall to our room. The unit continuously switched on & off making sleeping quite difficult on the first night and so for the remaining two nights of our stay, we had to use the fan supplied in the room as a distraction to mask the noise. Luckily we are used to using a fan at home on warm nights, and as the room was more than warm enough, this suited us as a fix to the problem. We chose the bed & breakfast option for our stay and we were happy with the choice available on the breakfast menu. All in all, for the price we paid, we feel the service and accommodation we received was reasonable. Should we be looking to visit the area again, we would be happy to stay here again.

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*

Visited for Sunday carvery - the quality of the food was brilliant. However the portion size for carvery really poor for 16.95, 2 slices of meat that couldn’t possibly be carved any thinner and then one tablespoon of vegetables is served for you. The smallest portion of cauliflower cheese we asked for extra got an extra tablespoon full - such a shame for the price being so determined to scrape on quantity. Apparently we could have had extra but carvery team very focused on not giving more than a tablespoon. No mash potato and each carvery restricted to the 2 served small roast potatoes . I can see other similar reviews on here so this must be the usual for this restaurant. Great pub great service and atmosphere and friendly staff let down by this

The walk we were doing passed by the door, so it seemed reasonable to call in for a drink! My husband had the Marstons Pedigree which he said was very good. They only had fizzy cider on (no great surprise) which was OK even though I would have preferred a traditional-style still cider. We sat outside which was lovely.

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!

Stopped here for a quick lunch with friends and we were so disappointed. There was a very limited selection of sandwiches available (only 1 vegetarian option) and the quality was so poor - they all came on cold burger buns with a very small portion of chips. It looked really quite pathetic and not something you should be paying for in a pub. The previous time I visited I ordered a veggie burger and the whole meal just tasted like a freezer meal. Not a great menu for vegetarians in general either.

Food and service both really good. Children’s menu was good. Felt it was good value and will go back. Bit of a play area outside that the kids enjoyed.

Sadly, some of the dishes did not live up to our expectations. Price wise, it was high for what it was, especially the wine per bottle.
