The best restaurants serving British food in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Fantastic home made food. Great value and huge portion sizes. The service was fantastic, couldn’t do enough for you. Will definitely be going back again and recommending friends and family to visit.

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.

Great pie, beers and boule , love it

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

We had fish & chips, burger and hot chocolate. All are good.

Nothing to add, really, just a ridiculous price. OK, the food was fine and the service was very good, but this was not good value for money.

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!

An excellent Saturday lunch with friends after a walk through the Five Dales. Lovely food lovely service and excellent prices. Would recommend!

Called in for lunch yesterday. Warm welcome, very friendly and efficient staff. Jacket potatoes were both very tasty, and followed by delicious cake (made on the premises)

What a great little pub in a great little location. The pub is just what you think of when you picture a cosy Peak District watering hole. Shame about Barry though. On our arrival we entered the pub to order our drinks, kids entered the dining room to sit while we ordered our drinks. Gentleman (Barry) behind the bar then told us to "get our kids out before they wrecked the dining room". We followed his orders and asked the kids to come out, no dramas. Had one round then went on our way for a walk. After a nice walk we entered back at the pub, by this time Barry was clearly stressed by the busyness of the place. I tried to order some ice cream and beers......absolute task due to how stressed he was. Out of our 3 round of drinks over the course of the day 2 of the drinks came with glasses with lipstick marks around them. To summarise...Great location, lovely looking pub, pudding of a landlord.

Recently visited with some friends and it's not normal bad but my friend fell ill he was throwing his guts 6 times and when I spoke to him today he says he still feel really bad I'm unsure what caused he's sickness bout

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!

Very disappointed. The mini pork pie is disgusting!!! We have been visiting many times but, we shall not go there anymore.

Had a great evening here in the restaurant (I recommend booking the restaurant as it was busy midweek) then in the bar. Some great cask ales on tap and an excellent menu. Staff were great and we had an excellent meal (ribeye & steak pie were both really good. Ignore the recent poor review, we only experienced great service and food. Our experience was a great meal served by friendly staff, who then invited is to join the pub quiz in the bar (which we did). A great night. We will return.

Absolutely gutted . Been today from Sheffield and although it states on website open its actually shut and looks like its been renovated..please update the website so people know..had to go elsewhere which was nowhere near as good and cost more aswell ..Still ticked 5 as it always is so good..
