The best restaurants in Clifton and Bradley Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Came here for a Christmas lunch with friends after a walk. I was a bit sceptical, having had a less than good experience when the pub was under different management. What a turn around. Great food, promptly served, and helpful, friendly staff. Can recommend the hake as well as the braised beef. My other half was really impressed with the turkey lunch. Will definitely be back.

Visited on the 28th for date night, and I’m so happy my partner chose this place! Firstly the service was amazing, the girls were lovely and helpful and the gent I assume is the manager wrapped up our extra cheese at the end so we could take it home! Banging menu that fit the vibe of the venue perfectly, everything was cooked perfectly and a refreshing elevation of standard pub grub. Pricing great for the quality too! Can’t wait to be back, would give it 100/5 stars if I could!

Just had Christmas lunch at the Saracens, what a treat. Took two members of the family who like us were very impressed. Lovely food and great service from Jamie. Would highly recommend.

A lovely chat with the landlord. I wish the place all the very best. It's worth thinking about reintroducing food, sir.

We visited today and was welcomed by a lovely warm open fire and great staff we all went for the pie menu and wasn't disappointed the food was absolutely lovely we will definitely be going back

We love this pub anyway but it’s our first time going since our son’s Coeliac disease diagnosis and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Such a wonderful pub with wonderful staff. Thank you so much.

Absolutely lovely. Would definitely order from here again if we were local! Even my fussy toddler enjoyed it.

Lovely evening again at Stepping Stones, friendly attentive staff couldn't do enough to help.

Lots of lovely things to purchase

Loved the garden centre and the food was good. I was however taken aback by the lady who took my order for food.. she was really annoyed and said I shouldn’t have ordered separately from my friend - fair enough, it won’t arrive at the same time, but she basically shouted this at me in front of the whole queue and said if we ordered together it would’ve made it easier for them. Excellent way of making me feel like a valued customer. Please remind your team that you don’t know what people are dealing with, and a little less snipe wouldn’t go amiss.
