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

We went for Sunday lunch and it was probably the best I've had, the meat melted in your mouth and the veg was brilliant with meaty gravy

Having first visited in May we decided to have lunch again as a family when I was in the area in October. We visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn’t overly busy so nice and quiet to chat. Two of us picked the lasagne with a side of onion rings to share and the other meal was again the Hunter’s chicken. There was a bit of a wait for the meals to arrive but nobody minds waiting for freshly cooked food. Second time around and we were not disappointed as the high standards we enjoyed on our first visit were on display again. Piping hot, well presented and tasty lunches were thoroughly enjoyed but all three of us and the onion rings were excellent too. Clean plates all round and washed down with a nice pint and a lemon and lime. Walk off your lunch at Carsington which is just down the road! Really enjoyed our lunch so well done to all involved.

Dropped in for some lunch. Can book a table on the Darwin forest website. Nice beer on tap, wife was happy with her cocktail. Kids menu worth the money. Food was really nice, £70 for the 2 adults and 2 children. With a beer, cocktail and 2 juices can't go wrong. Chicken burger was really big and tasty. Fish in the fish and chips was quite small compared to other places but was nice. If only they did discounts for those staying at Darwin Forest I would likely come more often.
