The best restaurants in Stone Bench High Peak East Midlands

Fantastic family run business serving Amazing traditional fish and chips (and lots lots more!!!)

This place is now called Bar Wan I would give ***** for food and *** for service On this occasion, when we arrived it was quiet, the staff were lovely, food ordered and arrived quickly, steaming hot and fresh. Food is amazing! Then. It got very busy with some large groups and the staff became way out of their depth! Couldn’t cope! Called for more staff to help. Eventually asked if we would like to order desserts (when we stood to pay) and thanked us when we said no. We got some gu puddings from Sainsbury’s (at £2.50 for 2) and ate them back at our hotel. I would visit again.

Was debating whether to post a public review due to the nature i experienced on making one complaint a few years ago - but if being honest in my opinion and experiences helps others - i will post exactly that. Absolutely awful place - used to have standards and character about the food, care and passion in the flavours of their food - not anymore. Food has NEVER been one bit consistent in the last few times I've ordered (and thats not even that regular because its my last resort) Food has no set recipe - and changes every single time - hot and sour soup especially - the ingredients get changed up and mixed about, sometimes containing tofu, sometimes not, sometimes like water, sometimes thicker than slime - its never the same. Chips are also disgusting! Comparable to greasy cold cardboard when they arrive and the salt and pepper chips have rationed flavourings and veg - literally a few skinny sliced onions on top and can barely taste them! The rice is actually pretty decent most the time but can also at times like tonight - be dry, bulky and cold. Ive ordered enough times to know its not just a bad night - but more the fact they have lost their passion and care for the food and just rush it for the money. I wont ever be back here again - not even as a last resort! Even my kids couldn’t eat their tea and complained it was “disgusting” - they are 5 and 6. Not acceptable! Oh and we was overcharged for our order and also had to return because items were missing!!
