Hope & Anchor
Market Place, St Johns St, Wirksworth, MatlockCalled in for a late afternoon meal on Saturday, after getting our caravan set up at a local camp.
Service was excellent and the food was great too.
Whilst there we booked in for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed, quality was again excellent and the Sunday lunch was a substantial portion and great value for money.
They have a nice beer garden and the whole pub (including restaurant) was dog friendly which was a great find for us.

The Boat Inn
The Boat Inn, Scarthin, Cromford, MatlockMy son, daughter in law, and myself were visiting Cromford for the first time and took a gamble on where to eat lunch as we new comers. The gamble definitely paid off. We sat straight away and were waited on promptly. After ordering we had quite a wait for our drinks and food to arrive as it was busy. Although busy it wasn't noisy. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing. The staff were polite, friendly and very apologetic about our wait. The food was incredible and well worth the wait. I had the Scampi and chips, which I've had in many establishments, but this was by far the best Scampi and chips I've ever had. Im not usually a chip fan and normally always end up leaving quite a few. These home made chunky chips with skin on were delicious and I cleared them all. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend The boat Inn as The place to eat when visiting Cromford. ?

Spice Restaurant
129 Dale Rd, MatlockWe were on holiday in Matlock and luckily found this amazing Indian Resturant. The quality of the chicken was excellent, soft tender and succulent and plenty of it. The vegetables and salad were fresh and crisp. Lovely surroundings, clean modern and stylish. We had the Special Early Meal Offer. I cannot believe the quantity and quality of the food we got for £14.99. Starter, Main Course, Rice and Nan Bread. Lots of choice for all. The waiter was keen to ensure we got a curry of the strength we would enjoy. All the food arrived piping hot, including the Rice and Nan bread and was clearly freshly cooked. The Best Keema Nan I've ever had.
We enjoyed the meal so much we went back for another meal during our 4 day stay in Matlock, Which was just as good as the first time. Highly Recommend - we were there mid week so no trouble getting a table.

We came on a bank holiday Monday for dinner without a booking and luckily only had to wait twenty minutes (even though they initially thought it’d be an hour).

Buddys, Matlock
77 Dale Rd, MatlockWe were very lucky to walk in and get a table on Saturday lunchtime, as the couple that came in just after us were told there was no room at the inn. I am so glad we made it! We had the Philly Cheesesteak and the cob with all of the meats, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were really nice and attentive and the place had a nice buzz to it. If I was to be really picky I'd say the chips were a bit over seasoned and quite salty, but with a Philly cheesesteak that big I was hardly sad. What I am sad about is that I don't live in Matlock so can't go here every weekend. Really do recommend!

Very fair price compared to other places in matlock such as dominos etc. Their tomato sauce they use for the pizzas is just amazing! Some of the best pizzas i have ever had. I come here regularly and never have any problems, despite some of the bad reviews. Its also amazing service, with it taking under 10 minutes for them to prepare and cook 2 pizzas, fries, and a 1.5L bottle of coke. I think thats impressive. If you want pizza in matlock, come here!

The Dl, Bonsall, MatlockFirst, let me say that this is a local pub. It has the ambience of one and all the better for it. Second, the food is amazing as is the chef. We didn't book before landing but she kindly managed to make us some sausage and mash before the table booking came in. It was very flavourful, did not need further seasoning (a big change for once), and is a very generous portion. Highly recommend and the pies I saw going to other tables make me say, book before you go. It is only a small local pub so will, and judging by tonights bookings, does fill very quickly.
The ciders are to die for, real cider, not artificially carbonated to make it super fizzy. Pity I was driving or I would have more than a sip to taste one.
Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Inside it's a warm welcoming pub run by a young family who were extremely friendly and somehow also manage to run a micro brewery.
For dinner we shared the calamari with sweet chili dip for a starter which was very tasty and a good sized portion even between two of us. For mains my husband had sea bass linguine which was full of flavour and very well presented. I had succulent rack of lamb with smooth, creamy mash, a carrot that was somehow almost a meal in itself and greens. It was the greens that sealed it for me!
We will return when in the area again.

New China
6 Firs Parade, MatlockI love the food and Tommy is always friendly and welcoming.
For ages I almost always had the same food - but I have asked Tommy about other dishes they serve and experiment with different meals. It's been a revelation (not unsurprisingly!) and I now regularly ask for something different.
Parking on Firs Parade is generally easy after 6pm so no worries parking. Order generally takes 15 mins from telephoning through. Always hot food and the prawns are always done perfectly - juicy and succulent. Takes a lot to get that right because you have to undercook to allow the heat of the dish to finish the cooking process. Kudos!

A very charming and friendly atmosphere coupled with attentative staff made for a pleasant change of scenery. The food was definitiely worth the wait, expected due to the number of other guests eating here, it also meant we had more time to relax before getting behind the wheel again (which doesn't always happen at motorway services).
I had eggs benedict, my brother had the sausage and bacon cob - both delicious!

195 S Parade, MatlockDiscovered this place when we had a walk into Matlock Bath in the summer.
It's fantastic to know they serve gluten free chips at any time, rather than it being on a specific day.
The staff were pleasant and sorted out two different requests (one gluten free, one Muggle), with plenty of salt and vinegar available. My wife had gravy on hers, but I'm unsure if a GF option is offered. Next time we go I'll find out and ask about sausages and other things that may have changed.
They have a sit-down café / restaurant if you fancy a more relaxed meal with proper plates and cutlery, with an outside seating area.
We had ours to take out and it was enjoyable to walk along the side of the river with a tray of chips - just like the old days!

Highly recommend and the pies I saw going to other tables make me say, book before you go. It is only a small local pub so will, and judging by tonights bookings, does fill very quickly.
The ciders are to die for, real cider, not artificially carbonated to make it super fizzy. Pity I was driving or I would have more than a sip to taste one.
Highly recommend if you're in the area.

The Matlock Cafe
9 Bakewell Rd, MatlockHad a lovely breakfast here - the owner and other customers already eating were all very friendly and welcoming and the place was very clean and tidy. I wanted a breakfast that was different to the menu - the owner was very helpful - said just choose what you want and they adjusted the price accordingly. Food was piping hot and delicious and tea was served in a proper mug! Would definitely recommend.

Hope & Anchor
Market Place, St Johns St, Wirksworth, MatlockCalled in for a late afternoon meal on Saturday, after getting our caravan set up at a local camp.
Service was excellent and the food was great too.
Whilst there we booked in for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed, quality was again excellent and the Sunday lunch was a substantial portion and great value for money.
They have a nice beer garden and the whole pub (including restaurant) was dog friendly which was a great find for us.

The Knoll, Tansley, MatlockMy wife and I visited here while on a weekend break in Matlock Bath.
My wife is Coeliac so we had to find somewhere with a good Gluten Free menu. This place hit all the right buttons. The choice of GF options was really good (see photo), the service was friendly and professional and the food was amazing.
We will certainly be back on our next visit to the area.

Parkys
11-13 Market Pl, Cromford, MatlockOn my way back up north after collecting some items nearby, my brother and I decided to give a local cafe a go rather than motorway services (again) and I'm really pleased we did. A very charming and friendly atmosphere coupled with attentative staff made for a pleasant change of scenery. The food was definitiely worth the wait, expected due to the number of other guests eating here, it also meant we had more time to relax before getting behind the wheel again (which doesn't always happen at motorway services).
I had eggs benedict, my brother had the sausage and bacon cob - both delicious!
If I am ever passing through this neck of the woods again, I will definitely pop in for another breakfast - thank you for the food and hospitality.

The Devonshire Arms at Beeley
Devonshire Square, Beeley, MatlockHistorical pub with great cuisine . Ordered the Whipped Brie, (great combination of flavours), Fried Squid with aioli, (crunchy and yet juicy and very flavoursome)and the Ox Cheek (cooked perfectly and rich in flavour too). The Eton Mess felt a bit underwhelming compared to the other dishes and I believe it could have used more cream / sauce.
Personally, I believe some of the dishes’ portions are small for the price, specially the appetisers. The service was great overall but a bit slow at times.

22 N Parade, MatlockVisited today with my daughter and both of us had fish, chips and mushy peas. Food was great, staff were polite and friendly and the customer toilet upstairs was a welcome sight to my daughter lol. Im assuming it was the owner ( may be wrong), but the chap behind the counter was telling me other places to visit and showing me pictures on his phone. Overall it was a pleasant experience and will definitely be making this my go to place on future rides ????

The Boat Inn
The Boat Inn, Scarthin, Cromford, MatlockMy son, daughter in law, and myself were visiting Cromford for the first time and took a gamble on where to eat lunch as we new comers. The gamble definitely paid off. We sat straight away and were waited on promptly. After ordering we had quite a wait for our drinks and food to arrive as it was busy. Although busy it wasn't noisy. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing. The staff were polite, friendly and very apologetic about our wait. The food was incredible and well worth the wait. I had the Scampi and chips, which I've had in many establishments, but this was by far the best Scampi and chips I've ever had. Im not usually a chip fan and normally always end up leaving quite a few. These home made chunky chips with skin on were delicious and I cleared them all. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend The boat Inn as The place to eat when visiting Cromford. ?

Tucker's Fish & Chips
18 N Parade, Matlock Bath, MatlockThis was a great discovery as they fry the fish and chips seperately to the non halal food. We were not too hungry. My wife had the mini fish and chips and I had the small with curry sauce. The cod fish was in lovely crispy and light batter.
The chips were delicious soft and tasty great. The curry sauce was of perfect consistency, vegetarian and also tasted great. The staff were friendly and happy to be of service, especially considering that it could not be easy working, as it was almost 30 degrees outside and probably much hotter inside.

The waitress even allowed to pour a cup of tea from the pot and then she refilled it for me. Prices are reasonable considering the great service and food provided. Will visit again. Highly recommend.

Spice Restaurant
129 Dale Rd, MatlockWe were on holiday in Matlock and luckily found this amazing Indian Resturant. The quality of the chicken was excellent, soft tender and succulent and plenty of it. The vegetables and salad were fresh and crisp. Lovely surroundings, clean modern and stylish. We had the Special Early Meal Offer. I cannot believe the quantity and quality of the food we got for £14.99. Starter, Main Course, Rice and Nan Bread. Lots of choice for all. The waiter was keen to ensure we got a curry of the strength we would enjoy. All the food arrived piping hot, including the Rice and Nan bread and was clearly freshly cooked. The Best Keema Nan I've ever had.
We enjoyed the meal so much we went back for another meal during our 4 day stay in Matlock, Which was just as good as the first time. Highly Recommend - we were there mid week so no trouble getting a table.

Red Lion Inn
Main St, MatlockThe menu outside drew us in because of the choice of dishes different from normal pub grub all at a reasonable price.
Inside it's a warm welcoming pub run by a young family who were extremely friendly and somehow also manage to run a micro brewery.
For dinner we shared the calamari with sweet chili dip for a starter which was very tasty and a good sized portion even between two of us. For mains my husband had sea bass linguine which was full of flavour and very well presented. I had succulent rack of lamb with smooth, creamy mash, a carrot that was somehow almost a meal in itself and greens. It was the greens that sealed it for me!
We will return when in the area again.
