The best restaurants serving British food in Barlow and Holmesfield North East Derbyshire East Midlands

Great poached eggs on toast really fresh delicious eggs My husband had the little tickler breakfast really enjoyed. This included x2 hash browns, toast, x2 saugages, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs and hit tomato sauce.

This is a lovely pub but you pay well over the odds for your drinks compared to other local pubs you will pay over a £1 more per pint. This I wouldn't mind but the last couple of times I have been the pub has been ice cold with no heating also opening hours are very restricted and very little option on food

A disappointing visit to be honest for what was an eagerly anticipated birthday Sunday lunch. We found the venue signposting to be poor; the barn was cold which detracted from the environment & setting. On arrival we were eventually shown to our table and waited ...and waited and waited. We asked for a menu (maybe foolish of us, but there isn't one for Sunday lunch) but the super male waiter explained the format of the trio of roasts with vegetables etc and a choice of 4 desserts. The food was plentiful; the plates hot, and the service good. No more no less. The waitress clearing the plates advised us of the 4 options for dessert (one of which was cheese and biscuits for £3 extra) and asked if we wanted coffee. We asked for 2 Americano's and were told that the coffee was instant! It arrived in cups without saucers and a heavily stained teaspoon! On questioning this with the waitress, who had served us at the bar, explained that they were "old spoons that don't clean up very well" and that the "dishwasher was not working". When later questioning the lack of saucers to the super male waiter - he said that was an oversight; that we were having a bad experience (true) and profusely apologised. Our bill for two "Sunday lunch specials" (of just two courses) at £35 per head, a glass of white wine and a pint of Cruzcampo was £82. Very disappointing. We appreciate that it may have been an "one off " experience and may revisit one day, but not soon I'm afraid.

Excellent place and really good food. Staff friendly and brilliant. Highly recommend.

Upon booking we thought the menu sounded good and were looking forward to coming. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The quality of the food wasn’t nice especially for such expensive prices. They claim the meat is locally sourced but my beef was chewy and gristly and the food was luke warm like it had been left on the side, I could’ve made better roasties myself they were bland and dry. The other parties also had issues with their food. We told a member of staff & were offered a free round of drinks which we politely declined as we were almost ready to leave and upon paying nothing was deducted from the bill (which would’ve been courteous of them to do so given the issues). Wouldn’t return which is a shame. As others have said, it was much better quality when it was Chef & Brewer. Maybe don’t buy ‘The White Company’ hand soap and lower your prices a little?… and serve better quality food.
