Food was ok, but we expected better and with better service. Our table was reserved for 10 guests for a birthday dinner. There was no cutlery on the table or any sauces. Once the food arrived, We assumed they would bring the cutlery, but they didn't. I had to get up once the food was on the table and go to the bar to get the cutlery for all ten guests! Plus no serviettes, we ordered pizza's as well. They brought pizza down without a pizza cutter until the next lot of food came down. Utter shambles. I won't be going there again or recommending anyone to go there.

We was coming into matlock for the illuminations so thought we'd book a table to have a meal before going, we'd been before a few years ago and had a nice meal so thought we'd come here again when we arrived it was exceptionally busy our table wasn't cleaned ready for us we did have to wait around 15mins for the table to be sorted we was seated by the door for the beer garden it was a bit annoying having to keep getting up to shut the door because everyone that walked through kept leaving it open letting in the cold when everyone's trying to eat in that area. The food took a long time to come out and it was ok I think because it was so busy It did effect everything else so I'd probably come back in the future and ask not to be seated by the beer garden door

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review, Emma. As you have pointed out we are exceptionally busy with the illuminations and this did have a knock on affect to your table being ready on time as well as the delay in food & we do apologise for this matter. We do look forward to you coming in again & we look forward to seeing you again soon.

Lovely place in a great location in Matlock. Been for a couple of meals before which have always been nice, but never got around to trying the famous carvery until today. So glad we came, the food was amazing, and so much variety.Everything was hot and well cooked. Staff were really friendly and everything was well organised. It was very busy and because there was 2 of us with a dog we had to queue separately which would have meant we’d probably be eating at different times, but after I’d got mine I was told to send my wife to the front of the queue so we could dine together, I thought that was very thoughtful and a nice touch. I must say Thankyou (and sorry) to the bar lady who cleared our plates and was really friendly, my clumsy wife managed to spill half a pint of lager not only on the floor but managed to decorate half the wall too. Thanks again for your assistance, I’ll be leaving the wife at home next time.

This place was very busy, it's Malock illuminations and there was a wedding on too! Saying that there was plenty of staff on and we got served quickly. I would recommend the Eyam Brewery's Cappuccino Stout called "Bring out your dead." Very nice. This place is very popular and is both kid and dog friendly, as long as they are well-behaved!

I've been in the UK for 7 weeks and to be honest the food is rubbish...unless you have the Asian rice bowl at the Fish Pond... Absolutely delicious

Try the Fish and Chips. The taste of the batter and frying of the chips is high on the scale. The fish is also rich in taste!!

We really enjoyed our meal here. Food is reasonably priced and portion sizes are really generous. The only downside for us was the queue for the carvery. My partner ordered a carvery and the rest of us ordered off menu. By the time my partner returned to the table with his carvery meal, we had all been served and had finished eating! There was only one person serving at the extremely busy carvery, on a Sunday afternoon. The location is lovely and the pub is dog friendly.
