The Bear Inn, Alderwasley

Im not sure if the person below this comment has visited the same pub as i have just returned from? The food was absolutely exquisite and as a regular commuter to London for business i can safely say i have eaten in many high end restaurants and hotels and know a good home cooked meal when i eat one! Also as a keen ale fanatic i thoroughly enjoyed the array of well-kept and tantalizing beers i tried...if only i didn't have a meeting in the morning i might have taken on a few more pints of the "Jaipur" (one of the most popular ones around at the minute).
I got chatting the barman (Josh) who informed me it is a family run business and the customer service speaks a thousand words...nothing was too much to ask. He also enjoyed telling me how the cows i could see out of the window were possibly next weeks fillet steak supply (strange i know) but showing how everything that is served is locally sourced.
The rooms were not huge but i have to say they were well furnished, comfortable and very clean.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend!
