"Meal Type: Brunch Price Per Person: £10–20 Food Rating: 4/5 Service Rating: 4/5 Atmosphere Rating: 3/5 I recently visited this restaurant for brunch and had a pleasant experience. The food was definitely a highlight, earning a solid 4 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the Full English Breakfast and the Eggs Benedict, both of which were delicious. The service was also commendable, scoring another 4; the staff were friendly and attentive throughout my visit. The atmosphere was decent but could use a bit more charm, resulting in a rating of 3. Overall, it's a great spot for brunch that I would recommend to others."

"We got seated straight away and came to take our drinks order. When our drinks arrived we expected her to take our food order but we waited and waited in the end I went to the bar area and asked is it table service or we have to order at the bar. She said she would come to our table. Once we ordered our meal everything was perfect the meal was lovely and the service improved."

"My wife and I, my cousin and her husband, my brother and his wife, and a family friend all stayed overnight at this place on 2nd September. We booked 3 double rooms and 1 twin room. The building is Grade 2 listed so don't expect luxury like the Ritz. Some parts and furnishings need attention, especially a thorough cleaning of the carpets. We all agreed that there were some little things that could be improved, like white paint splashes on the black floors, but overall it didn't detract from our experience. The rooms, dining area, and general areas including the toilets were very clean. The beds and pillows were soft. Parking might be a bit difficult, but you can always rearrange later if needed. The food is from an upscale menu and definitely cooked to order, including breakfast. The menu can be found on their website and may not suit all guests. The staff were very hospitable. The price was £115 per room including breakfast, plus a £20 per night charge for our dog. We had no complaints about our stay here. It is a great place to stay if you are visiting Chatsworth House, as we were there for a country show for 2 days. Our total bill was £430.00 for 4 rooms with breakfast, plus 7 meals and a bar bill of £220.00. It was definitely worth a try."

"We visited on Thursday evening to celebrate my birthday, and from the moment we entered, we were truly impressed. The ambiance was beautiful, with rose petals scattered everywhere and a lovely smoky aroma that welcomed us. Our meal was simply stunning! The starter arrived with flames on the plate, and our curry was nothing short of perfection. James and the other waiter, who was from Nepal, provided exceptional service. They were very friendly and kept us updated on the timing between courses. They even took the time to chat and share some laughs with us. Although we can be a bit restless, there wasn't a single thing that we felt was lacking. The prices were also quite reasonable. We can't wait to return in the future!"

"Below average Sunday roast dinner. Would not go if for a roast dinner for a special occasion. Lots of empty seats in the restaurant area which should have been a sign....4 of us had roast dinner on a Sunday, certainly not worth the £18 a meal drinks to pay on top. Expect a really nice dinner for that price. The price either needs dropping quite a bit, or the standards raising a lot for the price point/standard to be correct. Once we moved the big Yorkshire pudding out the way, there really wasn 't a lot on the plate. I only had 2 very small roast potatoes. Would have appreciated a few more potatoes at the size they were and/or some mash potato to fill out the empty space, and also some carrots, as there weren 't many vegetables on the plate either. ' 'Seasonal veg ' '; carrots are in season in November and aren 't expensive. There was no real flavour/seasoning, very bland. A couple of the group had lamb. Asked about mint sauce, the pub didn 't have any...Expect any pub that serves lamb on a Sunday to have mint sauce. No cutlery given with the dinners/already on the table, even though we booked in advance, had to ask for cutlery after our dinners were served. No one interested in coming over to take for the bill. As other reviews have said, we had to go up to the bar to pay. When we did get up to the bar to pay, staff tried to charge for the wrong table; for the group of 4 next to us who had wine etc/a much bigger bill. Shows poor organisation on which table is which. Would have been of detriment to the pub had it have been the other way round, and the larger table had left first, after paying for a smaller bill, as we would not have paid for their bigger/incorrect bill! No toilet roll in the one ladies toilet, had to wait for the other cubicle to become free. Even then there was only a tiny bit in that cubicle a lot of empty rolls. A sign that the toilets had not been serviced all day Sunday until at least 6pm when I went in there. Wasn 't busy so staff could have gone in to top up loo roll. Visited Sun 19th Nov 2023 4pm, in case the pub is interested in addressing any of these issues with the kitchen. Suggest bigger portions/more flavour. More potatoes/veg/seasoning don 't cost that much for any pub, yet really make a difference to the customer 's experience. it 's in the pub 's interest to visit the table to take bill payment and get the tables/orders the right way around... Portion size appropriate for a 90 yr old, not 4 young/middle aged adults. Our plates were cleared not because we thoroughly enjoyed the meal, it was because we were all still hungry.
