Devonshire Arms is really an eating pub, they didn't have any ales on tap except Robinsons. Whole…read moreatmosphere is pleasant albeit cookie cutter Robinsons renovation. The food is a mixture of nicely done pub grub and some more adventurous options. I went for the Whitby scampi as its very hard for me not to order scampi if its one the menu. I think the chips were homemade and it was all well cooked and a generous portion. In keeping with the terrible economic times, this simple meal was £14. I got a side of onion rings too, these are big and a little oily but I think most people would enjoy them. Husband has the pork belly skewers special which was fine but didn't blow him away flavour wise, also the way the pork belly was cut made it hard to balance the meat and fat in a forkful. Servers were really nice and food came quickly, we did need to be assertive about drinks orders though. Good choice if you're in the area but not for a special journey.

Under new management and now with a mixed menu heavily weighted towards Indian food. The ambiance…read moreis still a bit naff, the spotlights in the dining room are harsh (even a warmer bulb would help), the service wasn't perfect and the drinks menu is limited and weak on quality beer and wine choice (a shame given for a start out, there are 2 breweries in the New Mills area), however the food was great across the board. The bombay chaat was perfectly crispy, refreshing and not too sweet. The amritsar fish was earthy and satisfying. All the curries we tried were tasty (the chicken ruby is great comfort food), I loved the garlic rice and the onion bhajis (1 order was several small ones rather than large) were good too. You can see word is spreading because it was busy from when we arrived at 5.30pm. Despite the fact there's no children's menu, we will definitely be back.

A good menu selection of good, homely, traditional English pub food with the additional 'special' thrown in for good measure. Superb, great hosts and comfortable surroundings.

The food here is good (I had a great lunch here a couple of years ago) but overall I left slightly…read moreunderwhelmed by the flavours in the Sunday Roast - the venison was beautifully cooked but perhaps a little underseasoned. When the large bill came we felt it didn't quite have the wow factor we'd expect at that price point. I think I'd try again but not on a Sunday. At the moment, the much less lauded Hare & Hounds in Mill Brow I think is doing at least as good a job at a slightly lower price.

Upon finding ourselves at a loose end one Bank Holiday lunch time we decided to try the Pack Horse…read morein Hayfield, which had been recommended by a friend. The traditional open fire type pub had been transformed with a very modern and quirky decor, which in my opinion worked. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with attentive (but not overly so) staff. I opted for the chicken liver terrine and marmalade jelly which was well thought out and tasty. I followed this with the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding (had to be done really!). The meat was cooked well and was accompanied by a wide variety of well cooked vegetables. Home-made onion gravy and fiery horseradish cream set it off nicely. Finished the meal off with STP, which was lovely and came with very nice ice cream. My companion opted for the deep-fried mushrooms, which they thought were nice and came with a spicy sweet sauce that complimented it well. Their main of beef hot pot and dumplings was well received (maybe a little too piping hot to eat) but the dumplings were a bit dry, making them hard to eat. They finished their meal with Eton mess which was very nice and came with a variety of fresh fruits. The only small gripe was that the dishes felt a little over worked with garnishes and "food art", as if they were trying a bit too hard to impress, when the food did the talking very nicely for them without it, in my opinion. All in all very nice food and at 55 GBP including 2 drinks was very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be re-visiting again.

It's an old building but the interior has been recently redecorated and was very clean and modern. That said, it was a bit of an unusual contrast, almost like the place couldn't decide whether it wants to be a traditional pub or a trendy wine bar. We had (as always) some tea to drink - we got one pot with three tea bags which is a very good thing! Sparky had a fish finger sandwich which was basically a complete battered fish fillet in a roll; I had a hot steak sandwich which was nice but the steak was lots of small cooked pieces so it was a bit on the dry side. Prices were reasonable but maybe a tad on the high side for what we got. Service was prompt and friendly. And their loos were immaculate!

Today we had a table of 24 people, sadly my and Alex were in a rush and had to order quickly and receive our food quickly. Within 15 minutes we'd ordered, paid, received our drinks and food - pretty impressive don't you think? I had the pizza Fresca de carne with extra onions and its was delicious! Piled high with mixed meats including chicken, pepperoni spivey beef, ham, tomatoes and onions - to big or go home I say! It was delicious - one of the best pizzas I've had in a while and the tomato base was just delicious! Alex opted for the bolognese pizza and I had a little nibble - I'd definitely be up for their spag bol after that nibble, that's for sure. Yummy.

Also the bar is fully stocked and you can have coffee too if you want. I say to you all: GO!
