We arrived early and before we had a chance to get drinks at the bar, we were shown to our table. They have a menu with the main dishes and a large blackboard with daily dishes. They take pride in using fresh, local ingredients and you can taste it in their food. We had a variety of starters, fish sticks, chips, black pudding and bread. Everything was very tasty and fresh. (4 starters for 12,00) My friend and I had the fresh mussels inn a white wine, cream and herb sauce. which came with bread, chips and mixed greens. The food was absolutely wonderful (14,00). We both loved it!! Service was wonderful. The atmosphere was great and the food was delish. It's worth the trip.

Stumbled across this place completely by accident! Mrs G and I decided to take a nice drive through…read morethe beautiful Peak District on a gorgeous sunny December day. First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019

I had eaten more than enough food but enjoyed every bite. The ambiance was great and the staff was friendly.

We arrived into a cold, snowy and surprisingly busy Bakewell considering the weather conditions…read more(only briefly got above freezing all day!) at around lunchtime, the centre as always was very busy, so we decided on the Pointing Dog and Duck, a bar and restaurant that was adjacent to where we had parked. Out of the centre slightly, we easily got a table without a booking, the restaurant itself being quite expansive, with a good range of seating and plenty of space. Our round table was perfect for lunch, very sociable. There is also outdoor seating too, which would be lovely on Summer's night. A woodburner added much needed heat to the restaurant, but it was still a little chilly where we were sat, because our table was next the large glass entrance door. The Pointing Dog & Duck has a sizeable bar, with a good variety of beer and wine, but it was soft drinks all round, as most people were driving. There are separate lunch and dinner menus, both of which had a decent variety of classic and more unusual dishes. Going straight for the mains, there was a good selection of dishes like fish and chips, Steak Frites, and Caesar Salad. Between the five of us though we had a pizza topped with duck, Hoisin sauce and coriander, crisp, large and tasty; a mushroom and spinach rigatoni, probably the pick of the dishes, packed full of flavour, and a decent sized portion. Two of our party opted for the Hake fillet, with Chorizo and Cannellini beans, a hearty dish perfect for a winter's day. I went for the Pdog Bacon Cheeseburger, again a sizeable, tasty burger, with a mountain of fries, but maybe next I'll be more adventurous next time. One course and lots of talking later, we were all pretty much full, no room the intriguingly named 'Snicker's Mess', maybe next time. This is definitely a venue we will visiting again soon.

The drive to the restaurant was lovely and scenic, going down dark and winding country roads until suddenly we drive around a corner and The Devonshire Arms appeared! We'd got there a little early and we sat down by the bar for some drinks. The menu was displayed on a chalkboard by the seating area and it all looked yummy! The dining area was quite small but very nice and cosy. The kitchen was open and you could see the chefs chopping and cooking away which I quite liked. I chose the rabbit and pheasant terrine with grape chutney as my starter; it came with onion bread and the slice of terrine was huge! I really wanted to finish it, but I couldn't as there was no way I'd be have enough room for my main! For the main, I had venison steak served with new potatoes (usually served with mash which I couldn't have as it had milk/cream in it) and braised red cabbage. The steak was pink and cooked to perfection and the red cabbage was sweet but with a little tart edge to it. I didn't have a dessert but the rest of the party did - my boyfriend had a deconstructed banana cheesecake and his sister had a brownie (I overheard her saying it was the best brownie she'd ever tasted!). All of the staff were really nice, especially the lady who served us that night, she was really lovely and very attentive. The Devonshire Arms fully deserves it's awards and hope it gets more in the future. If you're ever around the Sheffield area and want to venture out of the city centre for some food make sure you come here. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal.

There USP is they only use Yorkshire products; they do them products proud! Had Yorkshire Puddings to start (bloody delish, as was the gravy) and then splurged out on the two meat Sunday roast - both beef and lamb. Both were delicious and came with just enough of all the trimmings. It was £20 for two courses (with an extra fiver for the two meats). Great value for money. The service was spot on too. Would definitely recommend and will be back ASAP !

Anyway have been several times since then, and the coffee is amazing. The staff are coffee mad and take it really seriously. Abit freaky but the coffee is exceptional. I usually drink coffee at Nonna's or Bragazzis but this stuff is better. Have only eaten there once but the food was fresh, and very tasty and my mate even managed to buy gluten free cake - which was great as it stopped her moaning for ages while I ate mine! The outside area is lovely with seats by the river but its been too cold to sit out every time I have been. I was offered a blanket but I am not that brave. I have drunk coffee in alot of places - most of bad, weak, milky and bitter but they have really upped the ante. Abit pricey but well worth it. Just don't ask for chocolate on your cappuccino!!

I tried elliotts on a recommendation from a rambling group friend and found myself very disapointed. The coffee which i waited an age for whilst the barrista chatted away with a dog! was bitter, and don't even get me started on the cakes. i know when cake has come from a wholesaler rather than being homemade but the women behind the counter insisted they were all made that day by herself. this was a blatant lie and next time maybe they should do a better job of hiding the costco packaging when staff are replenishing supplies it's a shame about this place as it's in a lovely spot, and it has the plus point of not being of the twee tea room genre so proliific in the peak district and apart from the women behind the counter the rest of the staff seem to be very sweet.

Bland name for a very good, extremely pleasant real ale pub in Chesterfield, Derbyshire…read more What is it with British pub monikers? If it's not The Crown, it's The White Swan. If it's not The White Swan, it's The Black Swan. If it's not that, it's The Wellington. And then of course, The Prince Regent. Why is it never The Flat-Breasted Floozie? ;) Anyway, this one The White Swan is a very likeable, friendly real ale pub next to that odd "crooked-spire" church in Chesterfield. Positive proof that good real ale pubs do not have to be grubby and grimy, as CAMRA sometimes wants us to believe. The selection of hand-pumped ales is certainly more than decent, about 10 available when I visited in February of 2015, whiling the afternoon away following a trip to Bolsover Castle. Staff know their ales, and are very friendly, if maybe a tad hipster-ish. But they'll warm up to you more after the second pint. You will warm up to them, too. Literally and figuratively. If you're a real ale fan, this is the place to go in Chesterfield. It's about a 7-10 minute walk from the station (which itself is not in the city centre - this pub is).
