we came back after near a year. the half roasted chicken was good. the mixed grill did not worth £32, the sausages and egg were too small, it could be better, if the portion size is larger and includes salad we arrived 1:15pm on wednesday, the restaurant area was already full. we luckily found a table shared with one person in the bar area. the menu is quite comprehensive and in reasonable price. the pan fried pheasant was delicious. the pitmaster puzza was also good and enough for two people.
Quite stylish pub on the inside and seems to be really popular. The toilets amused me with the witty remarks all over and the nice design. There is a real fireplace in the bar area too and very cosy and comfy sitters. Food was enjoyable.
Reservation for Sunday lunch recommended, very busy. Food is delicious with a few hiccups, the pork crackling is very hard and not grilled properly so it looked good but we wouldn't risk breaking our teeth. I ordered the 'all in one' portion which is supposed to be one of each meat but missing roast lamb, the waitress was very friendly and brought a plate of lamb but it would have been nice if the manager came to explain as they said they would, it was also missing some of the sides, for example no roast potatoes or stuffing, but as the manager didn't even come over, I decided not to say anymore as I'm not one to complain. My friend shared her portion so I had a taste of them, but they were missing from mine nonetheless, so I would say it didn't worth the £35 price tag. I like the huge Yorkshire pudding with parsnip chips and tasty gravy, the vegs are properly sautéed not just boiled, a nice touch. Waiter & waitresses are very friendly but lack knowledge of the menu. There are other nice places for food in Matlock so won't be rushing back very soon.
We stopped here for lunch, superb restaurant, The staff were friendly. Brilliant choice of food and drinks. We see some of the meals that went out and they looked amazing!! We ordered two pizza's, not only was they massive they was soooo tasty. I highly recommend a visit here, the only negative from us is that we waited 45 minutes for our meal and they brought our accompanying side dish 5 minutes before the main meal ~ however, it didn't subtract our lovely time there.
Doesn't look massively inviting from outside, but after reading reviews though we'd give it a try. Must say, we were very impressed. Tuesday evening, quite busy but got a table straight away for two plus 1 doggy. Good selection of beers/lagers on tap. Menu had too much to think about and the sight of the meals being taken past us from the kitchen only confirmed we had come to a good pub. Portion sizes are quite big, so be prepared. I had one of the best pies I've ever eaten, with chicken, mushroom and lots of tarragon, served with veg, mash and gorgeous thick gravy. Lots of different choices on the menu to choose from and everything we saw looked amazing with many people overheard saying how good their meal was. Highly, highly recommend, plus they allow dogs and provide, water bowls, blankets and treats😊 Loved it, ten stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
