The food was amazing with massive portions I definitely would recommend the fire created a great atmosphere and the owners are lovely

Myself, wife and daughter decided to try this out going by the reviews on the pies ( viewed other nice plates of food as well) This is a nice family orientated pub where everyone had a smile on there face. We had 2 pts of Timmy Taylor and a pint of coke. The landlord and his partner were very pleasant people who could not do enough for you. We all had homemade pies with chips and peas and seriously good gravy, nice to have plenty of gravy with your meal, we had 1 steak and ale and 2 steak and stilton pies, well these were "proper pies" no puddings for us after eating these! They were wedges of pie jammed full with steak, great prices as well for quality food, the pub was packed with people eating, i always say "serve good food and people will return" We will return.

A great local pub with some good beer. Excellent food especially their famous beef and ale pie with real gravy. Very friendly service and cheery locals. Don't miss if you are at the top in Matlock.

This is a proper pub! Really friendly, a hearty Sunday dinner and warm fire. Clearly a hit with the locals but incredibly welcoming of visitors. We couldn’t fault it and would happily drive the distance from home in Sheffield for another visit!

Popped into this pub for a couple of hours on a Friday evening when staying in Matlock for the weekend. Absolutely loved the place, the landlord and landlady were friendly, very accommodating to our little dog, and offered us a seat by the fire when the pub quitened down, which was a nice touch. Great beers and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It was just a shame we could only visit once.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here, homemade and everything was perfect. We were really well looked after and made to feel welcome, had homemade rhubarb pie and custard for dessert which was also delicious, portions were very generous- it took four of us to finish the pie!! Great value for money. Lovely pub with the log burner on, made it feel cosy. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you.

Beautifully presented Sunday lunch, with excellent homemade Yorkshire puddings, plenty of vegetables and lovely gravy. We were made very welcome and even though the portions are generous, we just had to try the homemade apple pie (one piece with two spoons!!!)

Sometime you go into a pub and feel an instant connection - the sycamore is such a place. It's a bit out of the way so probably more of a 'locals' pub, but even though we were visitors we had a great welcome, warm and friendly. The look of the pub interior is a bit retro, but all the better for it, bringing back so many memories of pub visits with family when I was a nipper! The Sunday roast is something else, huge portions and very tasty, they definitely came through on our special request for 'excellent roasties'! All in all a wonderful visit, could have stayed for longer but had to walk off the food on the way back down into town!
A great old pub with an appealing interior and very friendly staff . The food was all home cooked and there was plenty of choice - my partner chose the thai fish cakes and I had the king prawns ,both with garden peas ,chips and tartare sauce . Both dishes were excellent . The pub is dog friendly and even offers a doggy menu ! The top off our enjoyment it had Timothy Taylor's Landlord on draught .

Today we visited this wonderful Inn. The welcome we received after a 3.5 hour drive was extremely friendly and nothing was too much. The Sunday lunch, was one of the best lunches we had ever eaten. This is a jewel in the crown of the beautiful town of Matlock.
