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.

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

Caudwells Country Parlour is a vegetarian cafe which is part of the Caudwell Mill complex, which…read moreincludes various craft units, a gallery and a mill, where they grind their own flour. As you enter Country Parlour you are greeted by rustic seating, which are probably church pews and a plethora of homemade cakes, which to most people will be impossible to resist. Having eaten the chocolate cake on numerous occasions I can heartily recommend it! All food at Country Parlour is fresh every day, like the fruit and vegetables, or cooked in the kitchen at the back. The smell of freshly baking soda rolls regularly pervades through the cafe. The menu is not static and is written on a chalk board above the counter. There are daily specials like homity pie, as well as staples like jacket potatoes, and warm and cold salads. Portions are very generous, so will not leave hungry! The food at Country Parlour is fantastic, tasting like only freshly made food can! The food is amply supplemented with fair trade hot drinks and smoothies. The staff are warm and friendly and you can eat your lunch looking over the fields of the Peak District. Country Parlour is a popular place, especially at lunch time with tourists and cyclists alike, so its probably best to avoid visiting at midday in the height of summer.

The Boat is afloat !!…read more Nestled right up alongside the River Dee and recently reopened, the Boat has lost none of its charm or ambiance. I like the fact that they support the community around the area by buying their Beer and Produce locally whenever possible. Records date an Alehouse here right back to the 13th century and the interior decor reflects how the building has grown through the centuries.Lots of Oak beams and stone floors add buckets of character. You can choose one of the quiet corners for privacy or park up in one of the larger open areas and banter away or, weather permitting, take a table outside. Called in for lunch the other day and the menu, although not extensive, has everything for feeding all tastes from a wake-up morning coffee (open at 11am) to a refreshing pint of ale and home baked pie, or spend an easy evening with a fondue and some warm torn bread washed down with a pint of locally brewed traditional free house Cask Ale. They also have an excellent choice of Wines should you fancy a change. Once you have had your fill then ease down that food and drink by taking a riverside country walk!! The scenery is stunning. The great thing about 'The Boat' is that is a place for all seasons. When the weather is warm you can sit alongside the river and watch folk fishing for Trout, Salmon and Eel and may even catch a glimpse of the Otters who live on the opposite bank. When colder weather arrives you walk through the door to be welcomed by open log fires, and feel like you are home. Turning up here on a snowy Winters afternoon is a Dickensian delight. Word of warning - double check your directions before you set out as the Boat Inn is off the beaten track at the end of a long winding lane. ..... Maybe it should be called The One Way Inn ?

What a secret little haven The Boat Inn is! It's only about 10 minutes from our house, but we…read moreliterally stumbled across it on one of our daily jaunts around the countryside. And what a lucky day for us! Charming snug of a place, the open fires, low ceilings and original beams transport you back to a simpler time. The staff is wonderfully warm and welcoming, with excellent food to back it up. A combination of traditional pub food and higher-end "gastro-pub" fare, you really can't go wrong here. And the portions are impressive-- beware if you're ordering a starter and main. You may not have room for their excellent desserts! Ample seating inside and out-- can't wait for warmer weather to sit outside at the picnic tables alongside the River Dee. The best inside seating is in the original building as opposed to the more modern conservatory (though it depends on your taste). Bookings are not necessary, but if you want a seat by the fire, definitely call ahead!

The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

No biggie...I just got to spend time eating.

The Derwentwater Arms is set in the village of Calver. Having visited this place pre-qype days, and…read morereally liked the food and the atmosphere, we returned this summer to find that the quality is still just as good. The front entrance to the Derwentwater Arms is up some rather steep steps, which are punctuated by terraced areas with outside seating, perfect for a drink on a summer's evening. There is also a disabled entrance at the back. The pub is divided into a substantial bar area, selling real ales and a good variety of wines, and two restaurant areas. One of which looks over the entrance steps to the village of Calver and the stunning countryside beyond. The food menu is found on two big chalk boards, featuring many local and seasonal dishes, including lots of seafood, fish and vegetarian dishes. Plumping for two distinctively different main courses, chicken with a brie and bacon stuffing, and sea bass with pak choi, the two of us found both meals very flavoursome and filling. The meal was accompanied with a good range of vegetables including courgettes and red cabbage, and buttered new potatoes. A good range of desserts as well, the homemade baked apple pie and the lemon tart were very tasty. A great meal, just as good as we had remembered. Best to book though, the Derwentwater is a popular place, people tend to come back again and again. Particularly busy from mid week onwards.

This was one of the two formal afternoon teas I had when I was traveling in the UK this past…read moreAugust. The first was at Blenheim Palace at The Orangery, and this was the second. The Orangery is the better of the two, but the Cavendish is definitely a close second. What we liked: the ham and tomato chutney sandwich, the smoked salmon and lemon & chive creme fraiche sandwich, roasted vegetables tart, goat cheese tart, cherry scone (could be warmed up though), lemon and rhubarb posset (so wonderful and refreshing), and the chocolate and raspberry tart. Misses: the egg mayonnaise and cress sandwich (no egg, just mayonnaise really), and the glazed pineapple savarin (too soggy). If you want champagne with your tea, that is an additional GBP 8.5. I had a glass of Prosecco at the Bubbles Bar for only GBP 6 an hour before our afternoon tea reservation, so it's a better value having your bubbles outside! My friend and I both chose lighter teas. I had the Oolong and my friend had the Nilgiri from India. The Nilgiri was the better of the two. Thanks to the hostess for accommodating us half an hour earlier than our original reservation. This gave us more time to enjoy our tea before closing.

After being greeted with a cheery Bonjour, we sat in some chairs just inside the entrance and had espresso and proper coke from a bottle. We then made the fatal mistake of looking at the menu snack menu, dinner menu, wine list, beer menu, drinks menu etc. Having by now whetted our appetites with a very acceptable house Merlot we spied some comfy sofas in teh bar are and went and slumped on them. Then we orderd food. I had snails, smoked eel and friends had the mixed cheese, goats cheese,shellfish with creamed potato (coquille St. Jacques) and a salad Paysanne. I had ordered the frogs legs but they had sold out. In what was a really nice touch the chef came out to apologise for having run out but promised me the snails and eel would make up for it. The smoked eel was really tasty. The snails wre a bit over garnished for my liking thought. The mixed cheese platter was simply outstanding and for £7.10 was great value. It was a truly fantastic, laid back, refreshing meal. Great drinks, company and surrounds. Next time we go we are going to spend the whole day there. Staff great, decor bright and modern, toilets clean. Highly recommended. With all the wine and food it came to just under £80 for four which was great for the experience we had.
