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

The title says it all. Popular with hikers, climbers and dog walkers. We stayed just one night on our way home from Chatsworth. Will certainly stay again when we are next in the area.

We managed to find an indoor table for 2, by the counter, after an invigorating walk at Cuber Gap. It was quite full for lunch and some had even gone outside in the marquee. The homemade soup was good and the rustic baguettes were filling and tasty. Good service, thanks

Such a warm welcome. The food and service for our family’s Sunday lunch was excellent our two year old granddaughter can’t wait to go back for ice cream

After a good 4 hours walking with our 3 dogs we stumbled upon The Grouse Inn So we decided to have dinner and drinks. We went in the front door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children, use back door' Went to the back door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children' So i asked the waiter where I could go, he said I couldn't take my dogs inside as they had a big table of people in 'the dog friendly bit' Luckily it wasn't raining so we sat out side. I ordered my drinks and asked about food. Was told I needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2pm, so we rushed our order to the barman. The bloke behind me was told he needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:15 😱 Believe it or not, the bloke behind him was told to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:30. 😂 Anyway, my fish and chips tasted like they'd been warned up most of the day, no matter how much tartar sauce, salt, vinegar and ketchup I put on, it was absolutely tasteless. There wasn't any check back to see if the food was ok. The only time the came back was to clear the table. 1st and last time eating at The Grouse Inn The only good thing about the place was the barman was too busy telling everyone to hurry up with their orders, he forgot to charge me for 2 pints of San Miguel. 😀😀👍🏻

This was our first visit and certainly won’t be our last! We were greeted very warmly at the bar and then shown to our table. Two of us had a pie and another fish and chips and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The pie was perfect! It was full of meat in a tasty pastry. Usually I find the vegetables in a restaurant to be so hit and miss but the carrots I think were the best I’ve had.. they were so deliciously roasted and the mash great too. We also had desserts which were equally brilliant too. The service was super friendly throughout. At times, after we’d had our mains, it was a little slow but there only appeared to be two members of staff who were serving in a busy bar as well as the restaurant. We didn’t mind this either as it gave us chance to chat and also not be too full for dessert! Thank you for a fab meal!
