The best restaurants serving British food in North East Derbyshire East Midlands

Everything was absolutely amazing. 2 large bacon and egg sandwiches, all good stuff. The place is easily accessible with convenient parking. I'll definitely be calling in again on my way home.

Best Xmas dinner we've had after going to 5 places, great food, great value, friendly staff. We don't go very often but when we do, we have always enjoyed the food. Nice portion sizes too.

Nice friendly staff and good food!

We regularly visit here and are never disappointed - the food is lovely but what makes the experience is the attitude of the staff. They are hardworking, pleasant, helpful, and efficient. So thank you from us x

We have been staying here every year since 2022 and every time is absolute perfection. Amazing nature surroundings, very quiet and peaceful. The rooms are very spacious, modern and comfortable, and the terrace looking over the hills is the cherry on top. The food in the pub is also great - freshly made and high quality. Will continue coming back time and time again.

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

1st time with mega bites, i had a breakfast delivered amongst other food for my colleagues.....awful! My breakfast had no toast, no black pudding, no mushrooms, egg cooked hard and hash brown extremely soggy with grease. Other colleagues had food missing too and said full of grease and chips disgusting. 1st impressions stick, will never go back!

Tired. Sad. Unlocked potential.

Disappointing Dining Experience at The Peacock At Owler Bar Not Worth the Hype Yesterday, my partner and I visited this restaurant, drawn by its charming location and inviting pub-style interior that initially set a promising tone. The menu was extensive, featuring creatively named dishes accompanied by prices that suggested a high-quality dining experience. However, our anticipation quickly turned to disappointment. For starters, I ordered the scallops priced at £13.95, expecting a generous portion. To my surprise, the dish consisted of just two scallops and a single prawn in sauce—a meagre serving that fell short of expectations. Moving on to the mains, I chose a dish described as 'prawns with noodles.' What arrived was essentially a bowl of noodles with six prawns—again, not aligning with the menu's description. My boyfriend opted for the Sunday roast, which was equally underwhelming. The plate featured one carrot, one parsnip, and roast potatoes that were poorly prepared. The overall presentation and quality did not justify the price point. Adding to our concerns, nearby diners accompanied by a dog were vocally dissatisfied with their meals. We overheard them complaining about undercooked chicken, which is a serious food safety issue. In summary, the quality and portion sizes of the food did not match the premium pricing. The experience was disappointing, and I would not recommend this establishment to others.

Lovely meal to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you

Nice pub with good indoor and outdoor seating. Mixed reviews on the food- the pies are really good, although tried the steak which was very overdone. Don’t usually mind but we paid upfront, there was a long wait and then no one came to check on us once the food was delivered.

Called in at lunchtime for a couple of ciabattas and a bowl of the cheesy chips. The bread when it arrived was stale and crumbly, complete waste of money. The chips were very good though ! Would have complained, but there only seemed to be one person working and he was rushed off his feet so it really didn’t seem fair.

Spring roll, pork rice & beef in black bean sauce dishes were all tasty but the won tons were pretty much just tied and notted up pieces of deep fried filo pastry, there was no filling, the notted parts were hard as nails, had to spit them out after eating the edible parts so not to chip a tooth! Delivery was 45 mins. Sesame prawn toast was mostly deep fried bread, contained hardly any prawn so they weren't great either unfortunately. My first order from here, not sure I'd use again 😔

Popped in over the weekend for some food and drinks. Lovely to meet the new landlord and landlady, very welcome and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and service spot on. Thanks again

Lovley pub. Great for railway fans
