The best restaurants serving British food in Dovedale and Parwich Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Stayed here for one night whilst walking the Limestone way. Room was spacious and comfortable and breakfast was really tasty. Was great to see the cows on the farm and to watch the birds in the garden on the feeder. A little bit remote in terms of location and we could hear the owners in the room below during the early evening.

Nice little pub with a huge beer garden, staff really friendly and the food is really nice.

We visited here twice in 5 days, the first time for lunch and the second for their Tuesday special Curry Night. On both occasions the food was amazing. With one of the owners having Indian heritage and the chef being Indian, their Indian menu offerings are truly exceptional and I would struggle to identify a restaurant that I have used where the food has been better. The Oakover arms is truly first class and recommended. Oh.... and they have a special menu just for dogs!

The restaurant itself is accessible, providing you don’t need to use any facilities (toilets). If you’re in a wheelchair then you can forget it. After a lovely meal I needed to use the toilet before we left as we had a 40 min drive back home. But there was no disabled/accessible toilet. My partner highlighted this to the staff and the manager came. She asked me if I wanted to use the gents! She said she would block it off for me. For context I am a young women. It’s unsafe for me without using grabrails. I ended up having to travel half a mile away and use some dark and dingy disabled toilets up the road!

I was camping at trail view camp site and went for a walk with fellow campers and stopped for a few slurps .. got a flat pint but the elderly bar maid was amazing and noticed the young lad had served it and stopped him and changed it straight away … worth her weight in gold that lady thanks again

Fantastic hotel in a beautiful area. Luxury accommodation and helpful friendly service. Great area for walking a biking.

I was staying at the hotel so also had the breakfast and packed lunch, which were included in the price. However, I chose to have dinner in the restaurant each night as well and was not disappointed so will review that. First night I had pork tenderloin, the second chicken ballotine and finally the guinea fowl. All beautifully served and extremely well cooked. I really like the fact that the glasses of wine are very well priced so you do not feel as though you are paying over the odds in comparison to a bottle (although I am sure they would have saved a bottle for me behind the bar so I could have a glass from it each night). Along with the food, what really stands out are the staff - delightful and whenever I have gone I feel very well looked after particularly as I am a solo traveler. They have kept some of the outdoor pods (well, small greenhouses to be fair) that were installed during the pandemic, which means if you want to dine with your dog you can. Unfortunately, my dog is too excitable in an enclosed space when food is around so not an option for me (although would probably provide some entertainment for those dining in the conservatory part of the restaurant).

It was nice and chips were insanely hot but would recommend.Soup was great you could choose white or brown bread. Good drink selection also the jacket potatoes looked humongous. Lots of vegan vegetarian and gluten free options
