The best restaurants serving British food in Calver Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Very disappointed. The mini pork pie is disgusting!!! We have been visiting many times but, we shall not go there anymore.

We previously stayed here for one night last year and so when we were looking to have a few days away, we decided to stay here again but for 3 nights this time as the location of the Moon Inn is perfect for visiting the Hope Valley and surrounding areas. Our room was ready at 3pm when we had arranged to arrive and was clean, warm and well presented. During our stay, the tea, coffee, milk, cups & glasses were replenished every day and, although we were happy to use the same towels over our stay due to being able to dry them quickly on the super warm towel rail, they would have been replaced if we had wished every day too. A negative point to our stay would have to be that directly outside the door to our room was a refrigeration unit, which we presume was to do with the kitchen below. This was on all the time making a rattly, humming noise that during the day wasn't that obvious, but during the silence of the night could be heard through the wall to our room. The unit continuously switched on & off making sleeping quite difficult on the first night and so for the remaining two nights of our stay, we had to use the fan supplied in the room as a distraction to mask the noise. Luckily we are used to using a fan at home on warm nights, and as the room was more than warm enough, this suited us as a fix to the problem. We chose the bed & breakfast option for our stay and we were happy with the choice available on the breakfast menu. All in all, for the price we paid, we feel the service and accommodation we received was reasonable. Should we be looking to visit the area again, we would be happy to stay here again.

Visited for Sunday carvery - the quality of the food was brilliant. However the portion size for carvery really poor for 16.95, 2 slices of meat that couldn’t possibly be carved any thinner and then one tablespoon of vegetables is served for you. The smallest portion of cauliflower cheese we asked for extra got an extra tablespoon full - such a shame for the price being so determined to scrape on quantity. Apparently we could have had extra but carvery team very focused on not giving more than a tablespoon. No mash potato and each carvery restricted to the 2 served small roast potatoes . I can see other similar reviews on here so this must be the usual for this restaurant. Great pub great service and atmosphere and friendly staff let down by this

The walk we were doing passed by the door, so it seemed reasonable to call in for a drink! My husband had the Marstons Pedigree which he said was very good. They only had fizzy cider on (no great surprise) which was OK even though I would have preferred a traditional-style still cider. We sat outside which was lovely.

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.
