The best restaurants serving British food in Aston South Derbyshire East Midlands

We chose here for a small gathering of colleagues/friends for a works Christmas party. We had the room upstairs which was the perfect size, gorgeous decor, comfy chairs. We could use an Alexa for background music and drinks available downstairs at the bar. We were able to order in pizzas for delivery which was great and a cheap option between us all. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A great night had by all

Arrived and was met by a chap at the desk. confirmed we had a booking and headed to the bar, where we waited, the waited some more - odd because the person at the desk could see us and the pub was not busy. Did eventually get seated and waited on by Lucia who was friendly and helpful. My meal was excellent (mac and cheese). My wife had the fillet of fish but found bones it. Our friend had a vegetarian dish which she said was tasty.

Nice place, served quickly and bar maid was friendly. Has a nice atmosphere but yet another place allowing in dogs... One in there was about the size of a horse! Think they'd have something to say if I rocked up and took my horse in there!! The place had the fusty, smell of dog... It's gross. 🤢🤮 The restaurant area was separate and I assume they don't allow dogs in there but the smell carries... Stop allowing dogs in!! Not all are small, clean and quiet. It makes your pub stink!! Not a nice environment for a chilled pint at the end of the week.

We visited this pub two nights in a row when staying in Shardlow on our narrowboat. We met up with friends for drinks one night and a meal on the second night. We were pleased with the choice of ales and the three dogs we had between us were made welcome, plenty of room for them to lie down. The food was nice and it was a pleasant pub to spend time in. Two things though spoilt the experience, one was that the toilets on the second night smelt horrendous, as if someone had been seriously ill in there, I was heaving and couldn’t stay a second longer to even wash my hands (I noticed a pump-out lorry came the day after so maybe their septic tank was full). The other thing was that their website says they shut at 11 on a Monday and yet we were ‘encouraged to leave’ at 10 and the member of staff on duty said he ‘usually likes to leave at 9.30 on a Monday’. Please update your website with the current times, it is really frustrating when pub opening times aren’t up to date, it seems to be a regular occurrence everywhere we go!

Absolutely gorgeous food served very hot and fresh probably the hottest and fresh meal I’ve eaten out in months friendly welcoming staff and great prices

I had a date dinner with my wife here. It was one of the best restaurants I tried in the UK. Great food quality and portions. Great and friendly service and atmosphere 👌🏻

Decent pub good beer. Proper pub.

Fantastic roast dinner, all fresh, hot, and extremely tasty, beef was beautifully cooked and melted in the mouth with huge home-made yorkies.. new range of still ciders (bee-sting) was a great 👍

My wife and I have just spent two nights here. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The breakfast choices were very good, quality products well cooked and presented. We ate evening meal twice, and were impressed with them both nights. I was particularly amazed at the Smoked Haddock and Prawn Curry with wild rice. I have eaten in many establishments around the world but have to that this was probably the best curry dish I have ever had. The quality, quantity of fish, and taste, were fantastic. Well done Chef Andy ! Lastly I have name drop the wonderful Ruth. To be a truly brilliant customer-facing member of any team you have to have knowledge, empathy, charisma, and a big smile. Ruth has all of these qualities in abundance. She is a real asset to your team, and a role model to any young person who wants to work in hospitality. I trust that you know what a diamond you have. It’s a shame that we could only stay two nights. Thank you.
