The best restaurants serving British food in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Amazing experience at the Lighthouse with the family for a special birthday. Exceptional food and staff, lovely mocktail too as I’m pregnant. Couldn’t fault it the food just gets better and better each time.

Popped in again for refreshments briefly whilst out cycling. Every time I go in I’m met with a smile from the friendly staff and owners. Love this place and its position in the village is great for people watching. Today I had an oat flat white and a piece of amazing tortilla. Thanks again.

We really enjoyed our two nights. Very well looked after and fed. The decor is in keeping with the house. Lots of original features and William Morris wallpaper.!

We have been waiting to come here for a good while and so were very pleased to try the festive menu. Service is very friendly and slick; the decor is simple and elegant and, most importantly, every course is delicate, delicious and beautifully presented. You get what you pay for. Our only criticisms are that all of the savoury courses were served warm to tepid. And, it was extremely (and I do mean extremely) noisy in there. I realise that this is hard to control, but it was so loud that we could barely hear each other speak and we were practically shouting across the table. So, it is worth bearing in mind that it is certainly not the place for a quiet and intimate meal. That said, definitely worth a try.

A really lovely cafe in a lovely old building. Very bright and airy. With Beth's Kitchen operating out of the cafe, I asked them in advance to make a custom birthday cake for my wife. We came in and had a slice there with our twin toddlers - and it was fantastic. The kids toys were handy for keeping them entertained. Would visit again!

We had coffee and scones on vintage china, and the owner, a young lady, was most friendly and helpful. A hidden gem - may she prosper and succeed in her business.

Catered Hen Party weekend, we had fabulous catering for a themed evening on Friday and a formal evening on Saturday. Both evening the food was great, but the formal evening meal was stunning. The entire team were accommodating, friendly, and left no trace that they had even been in the kitchen. Highly recommend for any private dining event.

Bought a salad box from here a few weeks ago, the gentleman in the shop was absolutely lovely and this was one of the best salads I have ever had. Will be back!

We have been here many times and spent hundreds of pounds over the years but we won't be going again. We were celebrating our anniversary and booked in advance making it clear that one of the party is GF due to a severe allergy. We arrived to find one male server who clearly was unable to cope as he was doing the bar as well as serving on the tables. We had to sit in the bar to start without being offered a drink then were taken to our table but despite reiterating my allergy I was served gluten containing bread which I had to point out. It was taken away and replaced by molten GF bread followed swiftly by a sirloin steak in what purported to be a peppercorn sauce which, although tasty, contained lots of unexpected herbs and was extremely watery. We were asked if we wanted a side and were sold a cauliflower cheese which chef bought to our table pointing out that it contained GLUTEN!!! At no stage did anyone apologise for selling us a side that was totally inappropriate. Nor did they enquire if everything was satisfactory. When we came to leave a miserly 10% was knocked off the bill which included the gluten containing cauliflower cheese! You'd have thought the least they could do was subtract it from the bill but no they charged me for it! So in reality the 10% after subtracting the cost of the cauliflower cheese came to an allowance of less than 2 pounds! Needless to say I was not impressed and felt the servers paltry allowance for what he called the gluten fiasco was wholly inadequate and really added insult to injury.

Lovely independent bakery. We had 2 sandwiches to take away. They were very good. Ciabatta and top quality fillings for a very reasonable price. The sausage roll was amazing. Friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area again.

Had an absolutely beautiful meal in this lovely pub. The staff are wonderful so friendly. It’s very small but cosy and welcoming. Just perfect!! Thankyou

Not visited this pub for about 8 years, in which time it's changed hands. Went for lunch today and I wasn't disappointed. It was as welcoming as I remember it with a good menu choice including some very good value lunch options. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meals, fresh, hot, tasty and beautifully presented. Service was excellent and we were made to feel very welcome. We will definitely return and I would highly recommend to others, couldn't fault it and I wish the relatively new owners the best of luck in their new venture.

my dad has been buying me the pawtucketville since i was playing t-ball. i'm 20 now, and i go all the time. whether it's after a long over night shift or when i'm randomly awake when they're open! they remember me and my dad and ask about him almost everytime i'm in! very awesome people! and the food is absolutely phenomenal
