I had the bowl of soul with chicken, which was really nice. It had a little kick to it which was nice and was a good portion size. I chose it thinking it was a healthier option but I suspect the rice was actually fried! It tasted great and I don't think I would have missed the chicken had I not added it as there were lots of vegetables in there. My mum had the chicken milanese and she really enjoyed it, it came with potatoes and greens. I thought the sauce looked a bit of a strange color, but she enjoyed it! Our waitress was really nice and helpful, I would recommend it if looking for a quick break from shopping!

Good little restaurant that makes a welcome break in-between shopping, or you can use it as a good…read morepre film venue.

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).

Awesome! Steak and ale pie brilliant Spire burger sensational Also the asparagus salad is amazing! The choice of beers here is also incredible. Never seen a selection like it. And the bar staff are the nicest ever. The service is brilliant. I wish this place was where I live instead of miles away.

The Greyhound is a spacious and stylish pub and restaurant (and hotel) in Cromford (not Matlock…read moreBath). It is in the centre (so to speak) of the village, you can't miss it if you go by the main road. Visitors by train (like me, doing a rail trail along the river Derwent between Matlock and Derby) should know that it is a 15 minute walk from the station, with almost nothing of interest in between. But the second recommended Cromford pub, The Boat Inn, is nearby this place. The Greyhound has limited real ales on hand pump, staff were very friendly and the décor is certainly upmarket and attractive. This is really big pub which earns it a recommendation for groups.

The MoCa Bar is actually more of a modern-style pub, not what you would normally call a "bar". It…read moreis bright and friendly, the decor simple but attractive, and it appeals more to the clientèle you would normally find in a traditional real ale pub. But since The Railway Hotel is under renovation, the The Boathouse has been turned into a veterinarian clinic and The Crown is just an average Spoon, you aren't left with too many options in the centre of Matlock. And the MoCa Bar is a nice pub indeed: It offers quite a healthy selection of hand-pumped real ales from many different small breweries (rotating), and it's centrally located. The staff are friendly and competent, the beers well-kept. It is rather small and can get quite busy on a weekend. Recommended for Matlock!
