The best restaurants serving British food in Matlock All Saints Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

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!

Lovely food/drinks and friendly staff.

Great food, large portions, awesome people!! You can't miss this great little bistro for a superb breakfast or lunch. Kudos to the owners!!

Perfect spot for party with friends! The cocktail making was brilliant and unique and the food was brilliant. We had plenty of space and time to enjoy ourselves and the venue is well decorated and inviting. The accommodation was really welcoming and the fun bunkbeds were brilliant! It was clean and had excellent extra touches and the showers were great. Thanks again Andy and Kirsty!

We have been eating at Stones for years, in fact we used to eat at that same restaurant even before it was Stones. We came away this weekend quite surprised and disappointed. We wondered if it was just us, but we can see other recent reviewers feel the same way. We have had the taster menu many times but this weekend we opted for the three course dinner menu. The food was, as always, presented well and delicious, but Chef seems to have lost all perspective between the size of a standard course and a taster course. The pork main dish was one very small medallion of pork, not much bigger than a bottle top and a 1” cube of belly pork, half a roasted carrot and a small spoon of mashed potato. The beef fillet, with a £4 supplement was two small strips of beef, about a quarter of a small fillet steak - in fact the £4 supplement would have easily covered the cost of the steak served. The set cream dessert, a small teaspoon quenelle of set cream, a miniature scoop of ice cream and a piece of shortbread smaller than the pork medallion if that were possible. Two ladies on the next table were having the taster menu and their set cream dessert was served at the same time. In retrospect I’m sure the one served at our table must have been plated at the same time, it’s difficult to see how it could have been served any smaller as a taster course. If we are noticing the change then other regular, loyal customers must be noticing too. Our memories aren’t incorrect either, previous pictures on this site show substantially larger portions. In fact the restaurant advertising picture shows double the amount of beef than was served this weekend. Stones has always been our ‘go to’ restaurant for a special evening out, it would be such a shame if after all these years we are forced to consider pastures new.

We went to Ostello Lounge early on a Tuesday evening for supper. It wasn't busy, the staff are friendly and the food was excellent. We had two chicken and avocado burgers and one vegan cheeseburger (although with real cheese as the diner is vegetarian, not vegan) and they were all excellent. We then had a toasted teacake, a chocolate and raspberry torte and a banoffee cheesecake, which were all very good (in the case of the cheesecake, which I had, it was excellent again). One of the party lives locally and said he will now be visiting regularly, and the other two will certainly be coming back next time we are in Matlock.

Not great for sports, bar staff don't know how you work the TVs

Only stayed one night wish we'd stayed longer , staff were lovely helpful and friendly, our room number 8 was perfect spotless and clean everything you needed. Fish pond outside our room in the courtyard which added to the charm. Booked evening meal which was excellent, pub was very homely with log fire atmosphere very friendly. Will definitely be back for longer next time . Dawn , Steve and Penny ( the staffie ) Rollins .

Chips were hot held for too long prior to serving resulting in mushy chips, fish had soggy batter and was not pleasant. Pie was overdone and microwaved resulting in inedible pie. Service from one member of staff was great however the other staff were eating food whilst serving and talking about personal matters. Needs work and improvement, constructive criticism. I am a chef and was disappointed.
