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).

I came to eat here last week with my boyfriend and his family. I was especially looking forward to…read morecoming here as it had won Restaurant of the Year 2011 by Eat Sheffield! 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.

Absolutely delightful I cannot fault this restaurant The…read morestaff were very friendly, the restaurant was decorated exquisitely and the food was fantastic. I absolutely loved the decor, this is a very elegant and sophisticated restaurant. The Thai themed artwork that lines, the walls, the pictures, lovely tables, right down to the little candle houses was superb. I also loved the freshly cut flowers and house plants, the atmosphere is so relaxed and warm. And the level of detail put into the decor is also extended to the food. We had a set menu, fishcakes, prawns and crispy parcels, spicy soup, pad thai with chicken and prawns, green chicken curry, crispy duck every dish was tasty, fresh and was accompanied by wholesome vegetables and chunky prawns and meat. Everything was presented beautifully and the cutlery, plates, glasses and table ware were well designed, however my particular highlight was lovely elephant tea pot that came with the tea we ordered. It was adorable. I just wish that this resturant was based closer as I would love to make this place my local especially considering how reasonably priced this place is! Five star!

The fire is lovely, and the separation of the dining area to the left, and mainly drinking area to the right is a nice touch. A massive bonfire is held on bonfire night, and there is a beer garden for use when the weather is good. Would definitely recommend it, especially the lasagne and hot chocolate.

Seriously, I think this is the nicest Nandos I have been to. The large windows at the front of the…read morerestaurant are a really nice touch... I also love the light fixtures. The only reason this isn't my absolute favourite location is the difficulty getting in and out of the Leisure Park and the lack of parking when it is really busy. Of course this hasn't been helped with the addition of a Chiquitos. Clearly parking was an afterthought... not to mention the back up at the entrance/junction. Besides that, the restaurant is quite open with lots of tables for groups and families. There is background music, but it doesn't seem too loud to me. There is a large area with sauces, silverware, condiments, and even the frozen yogurt machine. It really is a great atmosphere for groups and families... although equally as nice for couples. The staff are efficient and quite friendly as well. Obviously the menu is the same as every other Nandos, but I have to say it is one of the chains I have no trouble admitting I like... really they must sprinkle crack on the chicken :)

While it was always going to be on a Friday, the place was packed to the rafters with groups from school and work, and with a hen party too! Clearly a very popular choice in Chez Vegas, and I think it is pretty easy to see why. The price was also a welcome sight, all in all I would say that Simply Chinese is very good value. The only downside is that it is a bit soulless, everything is white and with no Chinese touches that I can think of. Still, this is not going to put you off your food!
