| Very attractive, good Bass (and some surprising guests), quiet after food service times, but a long way from the village and Wirksworth so hardly a local. Try finding it without a map ! Worth a trip mtaylor40 - 23 May 2011 21:37 |
| Called in close to 3pm on a beautifully sunny Sunday in November, to find the car-park very full and the rambling number of rooms all packed inside reflecting that. Most people were eating, but there is a small bar area where you can just sit/stand and have a drink. We managed to time our arrival with their November 5th weekend beer festival which meant 12 ales on tap, excellently kept from such breweries as Roosters and Brough. There is what appears be a recently refurbished (and huge) dining area at one end which houses the carvery and a small separate bar with a couple of the handpumps on there. Although very busy, the staff seemed to cope well with the crowds at both bars and the queue for the carvery. We didn't eat on this occasion, but will surely return soon to try it out. Stunning scenery and a real sense of isolation with no other buildings nearby. Gristy - 8 Nov 2010 11:36 |
| Sorry, got distracted before finishing my last post. As I was saying, the food was cold and tasteless and when I came to pay the bill, they tried to refuse my voucher, so I had to argue with them before they accepted it. My bill came to £46.50 and with the voucher it meant I paid £6.50. Even then I feel that I was overcharged for our truly appaling evening there. If ever a place is in need of the Gordon Ramsay touch, this is it. ficam - 27 Mar 2010 11:40 |
| Right, where do I start. We were given a voucher for £40 as a present for this place, but due to family problems it got mislaid and was only found when it was six months out of date. So we rang and confirmed that they would still honour the voucher, which they said they would, provided we used it within the next couple of weeks. We duly arrived and ordered our food. One of the starters was luke warm and tasteless(Haggis balls), the other(Salmon) was perfectly acceptable. We both ordered the same main course (Slow cooked lamb) which turned out to be that slow cooked that it was stone cold, as were the vegetables. We then ordered the cheese board and whilst the amount of cheese was adequate (but not generous), it was served with butter in catering packets and biscuits which were quite literally thrown onto the board. We chose the cheese selection as we thought that this was something that they couldn't hash (but they did) ficam - 27 Mar 2010 00:25 |
| Nice pub with plenty of separate drinking/seating areas. We visited in the snow yesterday and some of the lanes nearby were very icy. However the location is excellent and once there, the beer range is also good. In addtion to the Thornbridge Jaipur IPA, they also had a 7.7% Saint Petersburg stout as well as Derby Golden Moment, Whim Hartington Bitter, Bass, TT Landlord and Old Speckled Hen. Cider is Weston's Stowford Press. Whilst we didn't try the food, it certainly smelt good. blue_scrumpy - 4 Jan 2010 17:12 |
