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

Stayed overnight recently. Arrived to check in at 4 - lady behind the bar couldn’t find the room key - the cleaners had it - check in was supposed to be from 3. Room ok, clean , but the whole place is in an urgent need of some TLC. Parts of it are really off putting. Breakfast was ok but slightly confusing as to self serve/how to order as the lady at breakfast didn’t explain. Sat 10 mins waiting to be attended before I realised the cereal was behind me on the bar. 5 mins later the chef came out and asked what we wanted. I had higher hopes of this place but we won’t be going back. There are much better around in my opinion.

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

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

Very nice tumeric chicken and fish and chips. Loved the smaller portion option . Would highly reccomend. Nice inside aswell

Held our running club Christmas meal for 17 people here. Having pre-ordered our meals the week before, the service was excellent, efficient, and each course came out on time without ever feeling we were bering rushed. The ladies serving us were polite, freindly and cheerful, and helped make it a most memorable event. The food was delicious with good-sized portions of perfectly cooked and varied ingredients, well presented, and universally enjoyed. Can't speak highly enough of you all, thank you!
