It is overpriced, poor quality and in the case of the burger we had, just disgusting. It seems their strategy is to use the cheapest ingredients and charge top price for them.

The picturesque village of Ashford with its lovely stone houses provide an antidote to the busy tourist haven of Bakewell three miles away and Riverside complements the feeling perfectly.

On the inside the hotel / restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff right from the outset, we were seated within a few minuets and no sooner had the waiter taken our order the absolutely amazing Sunday roast was sat in front of us, and believe me it really was tasty, and the price to pay for a really good meal was just a mere £18 for the two of us. Marvellous, can't wait to go back on another aimless drive.

The food is, obviously, of the highest quality. Excellent ingredients, clean and fresh flavours served with flair & imagination. I'm almost tempted to say that the restaurant is almost made for superlatives - but that would take away from what this place delivers. We went for the Taste Of Britain taster menu, my wife also had the accompanying wines which, judging from the little slurps I had, certainly adds yet another dimension to the food and I'd recommend paying the extra for it. The full menu would require far too much detail, although I will submit a photo - my highlights were The Ravioli of Yukon Gold Potatoes, quail's egg, broad beans & peas White Peak Lamb, lovage & goats curd emulsion (the scallop was a very close second though) Chocolate Tree Trunk, lime sorbet, mint & dehydrated chocolate Also, I have to give a special mention to the cheese trolley - so often restaurants go for wow cheeses and forget the overall combination. This is a trap that Fischers have avoided presenting a well ranged selection that offers plenty of differing choices which still compliment each other. Excellently served by a knowledgable man who took obvious pride in knowing what he presented. It pays attention to every detail. From the initial welcome, the presentation of every dish & glass, even the coffee & petits-fours. The service easily equals that found in the most exclusive dining locations London has to offer. Although far from cheap, you won't feel cheated in any way.

Plus the option of a giant "bin lid" Yorkshire pudding for £1.50. It was stupendous, and the brownie with caramel sauce dessert afterwards was nearly as good. The rest of my family had Sunday Roast, which was also superb. Service was friendly and timely, and helpful with our questions. Ambiance varies at the Nag's Head from room to room; in the nearly-empty breakfast dining room in the corner of the building, it was a bit forlorn. Busier rooms near the heart of the action seemed cozier.
