The best restaurants in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We’ve called in at this pub for meals several times on days out in the peaks. Always been great. This time was average. Scampi and chips - no peas, veg or salad of any sort. Quiche and chips no salad - not even a garnish . The salads used to be beautiful . Corners cut to save money we guess . Asked if we could have half salad/half chips ? No you can’t - it’s one or the other. At £15.50 a portion that’s not good . Disappointing

Having visited Piedaniels on a couple of previous occasions, we were excited to be visiting again with our friends to celebrate 2 of our wedding anniversaries. Everyone had an absolutely fabulous evening with delicious food, each course was cooked to perfection and the atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and friendly. Christiana, the owner, was happy to chat and the rest of the staff were lovely too. Can't wait for our next visit.

We reserved a table for after our group walk. The drinks were refreshing and the food delicious. I would return without hesitation!

Fairly average, nothing inspiring for fish and chips but totally let down by not getting the salt and vinegar I asked for. I couldn't really get to the flavour without the salt. The food would have been cold by the time I got back to rectify it. I hate leaving a bad review but it was really disappointing. Friendly service though.

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.

Great place to stop for coffee and cake out of the many places in Bakewell. Friendly staff, good sized portions and coffee. Dog friendly too. Will come here again

A lovely pub with friendly staff, who were particularly welcoming and kind to our dog. The food was simple but tasty and extremely good value. We had Bradfield beers on tap which were delicious.

Great pub with a nice lively atmosphere and excellent beers. The food was straightforward but really nicely cooked and served up well. Tastefully decorated for Christmas too.

Great place to stay, would come here again. After seeing quite a few negative reviews, we were nervous about staying here, but we only have positive comments to make - lovely cosy little room, great shower, nice view over the village. Downstairs in the bar area looks really nice. We stayed on a Friday and it was lovely and quiet, no bands. I had no problem booking through wowcher (although I had to phone to sort it after having no reply via email). All staff friendly and accommodating. Had a lovely breakfast before we left and the owner was happy to let us leave the car for a few hours so that we could do a walk to Milldale (also asked if we needed directions).

. . . from Sammy, Joe and everyone, locals alike made us feel so welcome. We stayed for ‘just one more’ as we and our dog were embraced with friendliness and fun. We are returning for Sunday lunch to purely meet these lovely people again and enjoy the atmosphere.

We called in for lunch after a 3 mile walk with our dog around the Chatsworth estate. The quality is there to see from the moment you walk through the door. Attentive bar service, a perfect pint of Chatsworth Gold, excellent wine list (including dessert wine by the glass) and quality food backed up by fantastic and friendly service from Nieve, a fellow dog lover who is a credit both to herself and the organisation. Will definitely be coming back.

Gorgeous food and a great choice on the kids' menu! Everything tasted really fresh and great quality ingredients. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. We even left my sons water bottle behind, and they are keeping it to one side for when we return! 😆🙈

We visited based as we were staying nearby and based on the great Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed! The pub itself is beautiful and such a lovely atmosphere with its roaring fire. Recommend to book a table as it’s fairly limited on tables. The staff were really friendly. My husband had the steak and said the dauphinoise potatoes were the best he’s ever tasted (he’s had a lot of them!). My daughter (4 years old) was well catered for with the children’s menu, plenty of choice for children. I had the chicken saag which was delicious! All round a fantastic meal, thank you for having us.

Excellent quality food, fast service and affordable prices.

Called here for tea tonight plain chow mein tasted like someone had added fag ash to it and egg fried rice was clarty and tasteless curry sauce acceptable as was the salt n pepper chicken Won’t be going again
