Came here for a Sunday dinner with friends. Was about £33 for two carveries so not bad. Was really impressed with the carvery in that there was 8 meat options, including how you wanted your meat. You could have rare beef, medium beef, gammon, turkey, medium lamb, well done lamb and a couple of others. You could also have a nut roast too. Love the variety of meats to suit everyone. The mash was also very good. Everything else was standard. The parsnips and carrots were not peeled, and they were plain boiled parsnips not honey roasted. The peas were on the crunchier side and I prefer my veg soft. They had cheesy leeks and cauliflower cheese. It is not very good for labelling as I knew not all the veg was vegetarian. The red cabbage was picked and not stated that was not nice. The roast potatoes were crunchy but a little dry. The Yorkshire was big but not my favourite. Was worth the try for the meat

Had pizza and it was great. Best pizza I have had for a while

Accommodated our large group (18 people) easily. Good food, good beer, good place to be! Will look forward to coming back soon

Went last night for food. We had no prior booking. Was met by a barman who said choose a table with no settings or menu, which we did. Only then to be asked to move by the female bar tender on the basis of the table being reserved. Very poor customer service and experience. Felt like we were not priority. Following the response from Fishpond - given the difficulties, we should not have been the ones to ask to move. This could have been avoided.

We pre booked food, as a large group of friends. Really easy booking experience, food and drinks were really good. Nice atmosphere. Busy but not too loud. Would recommend.

I had steamed fish. Mashed potato & mushy peas. We met my aunt & uncle in Matlock Baths, l would go again

Fantastic venue to see live bands Bar staff have always been amazing and they are dog friendly too!! I love it here!!

Really good fish and chips, all washed down with a local pint.

This was a really popular spot for a Sunday afternoon, and as such it was hard to find a seat and service was understandably slow. But the food was delicious and a great atmosphere! I'll definitely be popping back next time we are in the area! Super dog friendly too which is a massive bonus. The beer garden at the back is mostly covered with heat lamps so it's a comfortable place for some of the poorer weather.
