The best restaurants serving British food in Matlock St Giles Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Booked a table for my husbands birthday on recommendation as we are not from the area...Very disappointed!!!...Ordered starters and my sons arrived with a hair in!!!...Got sent back to be replaced but we had all finished our starters when his arrived.... My husbands main arrived with fries that were cold!!...Again sent back.. Member of staff came to the table when the new fries had been replaced for HOT ones to ask if he was now enjoying his fries!!!!...RUDE.. We had planned on having sweets as when we booked they had said his sweet would come out with a candle etc but given the above we decided to pay and leave as the evening had been very disappointing and ruined...I did speak with the manager who apologised and spoke with the chef who waivered our drinks and same Member of staff (who asked about fries,informed us that the starter with the hair in had been taken off the bill!!!...definitely needs a course in customer service as was made to feel by her that we had no reason to complain....Our bill wasn't cheap!!!)....I don't write reviews but felt compelled to as a birthday meal was ruined

We all ordered the moot steak and ale pie and mash. Generous helpings and it was all delicious. 2 pies and a bottle of wine offer too during the week. Highly recommended.

Called in for breakfast before going for the train. This is a great little quirky cafe and does a lovely breakfast. It is really good value for money. The variety on the menu is amazing for such a small place. The food came promptly and was beautifully cooked. Well worth the visit.

Used to go here last year everyother week and the food was excellent. Went yesterday 2nd Nov the feg was cold the service wasn't as good has it once was. Sorry to say will not be going again

As we were staying at the Lickpenny lane caravan site and were joined by friends we booked for Sunday lunch, we had our son's dog so we needed somewhere dog friendly. the Tavern was the place we chose the table service was prompt, the staff friendly, the food was both plentiful and well cooked this is somewhere we would definitely return to.

Cosy and friendly place, but a shame they've stopped doing food.

Disappointing. No hot dinners being served. Nice panini but service not great. This used to be quite a reliable place for a decent lunch/dinner but nowadays not so much.

First time we have Booked the lounge. This will not be the last. We were friendly welcomed at reception explained how it worked. The breakfast there was cereals, porridge, cold and hot fresh food you can go back as many times as you wish. The drinks there was a good selection alcohol or non alcohol, along with a coffee machine. There were no toilet in the lounge area which is a shame. Overall a good experience

The food and drink were very tasty, but I'd like to praise the staff. We went on a Saturday morning, and there were four young girls working. They were all so friendly, whilst being good at their work, and very efficient. They made the place a really happy place. Well done girls!
