If you are wanting a fancy pub with pink walls and purple furniture that serve rare breed, grass fed burgers served in a brioche bun topped with artisan cheese alongside hand cut, skin on, triple cooked chips all served on a roof slate you probably won’t like this place! If you want a proper Derbyshire pub experience with fantastic, tasty and well priced traditional pub food then I seriously recommend this pub. We will most definitely be visiting again and again! Thank you so much for a great evening…

Had a lovely lunch here mid walk, a lovely traditional pub with a good selection of beers. Food menu was also good including classic pub food like gammon and curries, but also healthier or more lunchlike options.

Was looking forward to spending a few nights at this pub & a meal after some of the good reviews we read. Sadly this wasn't the case, we were a group of 9 who walked into the pub & felt out of place straight away. Some of our group sat in the pool room whilst we placed drinks order & we asked to play darts. "Sorry pool match on", ok no problem. So moved & sat in main bar but it felt crowed with 9 of us round the table so then moved with dog & small child into the other side bar. "Oh can we play darts on this board." "No sorry got a darts match on! You'd be better on the other board till they come"It is nice to see a small village pub so busy but why when we walked was something not said to us about staying in the main bar area instead of watching us move seats to try to keep out of the way. It definitely felt like a "locals only" kinda pub which is sad as its a lovely pub in a lovely area. Didn't go again.

Having read the previous reviews I think they are quite unfair so wanted to give a positive spin on this pub. This is an'old fashioned' ' no frills pub. The beer is good, the food we had was lovely and all incredibly good value and a great atmosphere, we visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. Don't expect the staff to fawn all over you but expect efficient, friendly, down to earth service. I would definitely recommend.

Great village pub, visit once a week for lunch. Food is outstanding. Classic country pub with loads of atmosphere. The staff go above and beyond to make you welcome.Parking: Plenty of space

What a truly awful experience. Probably the worst landlady we've ever had the displeasure of coming across. The attitude was appalling, 5 of us arrived around 1:30pm, plenty of tables vacant, I asked if there was a table for 5 available, the landlady spat out a response along the lines of "No, they're for 4", I asked if it'd be ok to move a stool from one of the other many vacant tables and she literally convulsed and shouted "well then no one else can sit at that table then can they....". Wondered if this was some sort of joke, took another look at the horror behind the bar (who was spluttering obscenities and complaining non stop about the new tattoo on her back side) and decided to leave immediatly before any of us suffered any more trauma. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Having now read the reviews on here it would seem that we dodged a bullet here, ended up at Ashford in the Water just a couple of miles down the road and ate at the Bulls Head, staff were super friendly, nice atmosphere and food excellent.
A pretty pub that should be avoided at all costs! The barmaid needs to be in another job as hospitality definitely isnt her thing! Rude does not even come close. We were not greeted at all on arival.When i asked about my table the response was 'All names are on tables-just look!" I asked "Do you do Sunday lunch?" and the response was All meals are on't board.Order at 'bar..The cuttlery was slammed down on the table with the words"Thats yer starters and thats for yer mains" The food (Roast beef) had been cooked about 4 days earlier and would have challenged most cobblers.The roast potatoes were black and soft-How this is possible-I'm not sure..I can only presume most food was frozen.The yorkshire pudding was even ruined..??None of us finished and no one asked if we had enjoyed our meal or what was wrong with it. Such a shame as the pub itself is local to us and quite an embarrasment. We ended up going to The Church at Chelmorton and met some others who had experienced exactly the same thing!! I have noted that this seems to be an ongoing theme but nothing has been done to rectify the issues.
