The best restaurants in Matlock St Giles Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Staff are always really friendly and helpful. As with any subway, there is a lot to choose from. They keep the areas clean and tidy which I like.

Went for our Anniversary, the food was cooked to order so not the quickest but well worth waiting for it was delicious. The staff are excellent and very attentive they even gave us a Anniversary card and a cake with a candle on and all the staff came out to wish us well. We were staying near by just for a couple of days and was so glad we decided to eat here. If we lived closer we would be going there a lot more. Thank you to everybody at Serendip for making our Anniversary a day to remember and we wish you well for the future

Brilliant short break at this brew pub in Matlock. Fantastic staff who actually communicate with you as a valued human being making you feel so welcome - a home from home experience. From the breakfasts cooked to order to the Sunday lunches and evening meals, would highly recommend!

Nice latte and pastie. Very popular place. Good outdoor seating.

It's a lively pub where the banter amongst family and friends makes for a bouncing atmosphere, the restaurant bit is quieter , the food is good and the service as friendly as you'll get anywhere.

This review has replaced my last 4 star review which was deducted a star due to the cold temperature inside the pub, no heating on in the middle of winter and had to leave our coats on while eating but the food was ok, on further reflection it should have been 3 stars. Visited 29/04/25 around 5pm, lovely day so we sat outside, not too busy and the staff were very friendly and efficient, we ordered 2 open steak sandwiches with gorgonzola sauce with fries and a mini fish, chips and peas, food came out relatively quickly but unfortunately the steak was very fatty and chewy and quite pink (we didn't specify how well done we wanted the steak so that was not the issue)it was barely edible due to being so tough, my dad's dog enjoyed it though. The fries were ok, fish chips and peas were average but acceptable for the price. Would visit again for drinks only as it is in a lovely spot to sit outside when the sun is out.

Food is heated up in the evening. Very very poor quality

Booked for a group of 15 - food was great - came out quickly! Nadeem and the team took good care of the group. Delicious range of curries and amazing selection of options available for all dietary requirements - highly recommend!

All freshly cooked and generous portions

Great spot however , needs a serious deep clean especially the floor absolutely filthy. Everything else’s like the decor & cushions look grubby.

Came in on the way home to refuel, staff were very nice,welcoming and attentive, ordered food with minutes to spare and it wasn't an issue...had fish, chips and mushy peas....all was we cooked and tasty, chips were on another level. Pudding was crumble and ice cream and was delicious...nice old pub would recommend a visit if your in the area.

Excellent fish and chips! Staff very professional, clean and tidy :). Keep up the good work! Will be back when visiting again

Proper pub with cask ale, wood burners and low beamed ceilings. If you're seeking refuge from the wet and cold, there is no better place to be. It's warm, cosy and comfortable, and the owners have always been kind and friendly. In summer there is a garden out front with a few benches and a wonderful view into the valley.

We visited Buddys on Saturday evening for my grandson Buddies birthday. My son had booked for the 4 of them, and I went online on Saturday to tag 2 more onto their booking. It all got a little confusing. I was really pleased when Lewis went out of his way to give me a call and sort it out. I explained it was a birthday, etc. When he found out my grandsons name was Buddie he said he would try and do something special for him. When we arrived, he had sorted a birthday balloon and some sweets for Buddie which was a lovely touch. The food was delicious and all the staff were very helpful. Lewis made sure we were looked after all evening and went out of his way to ensure that the birthday boy had enjoyed himself. He is an asset to your business.

What happened? This was one of our favourite garden centers, lots of interesting things to look at and a great place to buy gifts. We haven't been for a while as what was a great cafe with good food and lots of choice had gone down hill, the food was expensive and not good. Today's visit will probably be our last. The garden centre is a shambles, very run down, although the new seasons bedding plants look lovely The cafe menu is very poor and expensive I've been coming to this garden centre for over 20 years, it's such a shame to see it how it is today
