The new extended restaurant is a stunning light space, Chef Gareth Ward continues to produce innovative menus and consistently delicious food - trust me, you will be spoilt for choice! The bar serves excellent cask ales and craft beers and an impressive drinks menu - 3 pages of speciality gins, Monkey 47 a particular fave of mine - this alone is worth the 5 stars!!

Oooh this pub is looovely, especially on sunny days when you can sit outside in their garden…read more They seem to cater to both locals (lots of old folks) and people like us who were driving though. The staff were all very welcoming, and we were all really impressed with the friendly, efficient service. The menu was full of English comfort foods...and they executed everything beautifully. Just look at my photos to get an idea...I tried the goats cheese and caramelised onion strudel, which came balanced on potatoes and perfect ratatouille. If you ever find yourself in this part of the country, it is definitely worth popping in here for some lunch! *Pro tip: It sounded like they get very booked up in the evening, so ring ahead to ensure you get a table!!

We happened on this pub on a Saturday afternoon after going for a walk around Doveridge (which…read moreitself is very pretty with lots to see). The pub is village inn and is very quant. The menu is full of proper pub food which is not trying to be something is it not. It serves honest home cooked food not like the usual chain pubs. We had fish and chips the fish was nice big beer battered and cooked just right so the fish was nice and moist and the chips were like what my nan used to cook. And we had a Chicken pie which we asked what as in it and were told just Chicken and tarragon but the chef can put in mushrooms is you like. So that tells you it is not a ping pub. The chicken in the pie was tender and very flavoursome and the veg and chips again were excellent. They have different themed nights like Ruby Tuesday for a curry and chippy tea for a Friday. All in all the pub was clean and well laid out, toilets were very clean with a very large picture of a fly fisher man on the wall (Bit strange). Staff were lovely and very attentive. All in all an excellent experience and I will say we will defiantly visit again as it is only two villages away might get a taxi next time and have a nice relaxing night out.

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.

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.

Wow. Spectacular. The setting on the river is a true GEM. The service and personality is adorable…read more I felt at home-a single traveling guy with no distractions, I was paying attention to every little nuance. Beginning with a glass of wine outside overlooking the river, the evening started out brilliantly (the English term, I think, for INCREDIBLE). Corinne was warm, welcoming, and hospitable The Scallops dish, as a starter, was creatively designed, and - while not overly complex and varied - SPECTACULARLY executed. The crispy smokey outside with soft and juicy interior of the scallops couldn't have been better. Oh. Then the Veal Main. HOLY WOW... Nuanced yet rich. Perfectly cooked mid rare loin, dressed with a complex yet subtle combination of Braised cherry tomatoes, Broad Beans, Broccoli Rabe is perfected by the rich and flavorful jus touched with an essence of mint. The perfectly crispy fried, lightly curried onion Bahji adds a perfectly complementary crispy texture and subtle onion sweetness that would be greatly missed in its absence. I am embarrassed to admit, that the Hazelnut herb crumb lightly dusted over the top - while a brilliant design addition - was too subtle for MY palate. Those of you with a more refined palate will be fortunate to enjoy more than I this finer nuanced component. This dish might be the very best designed veal dish I have ever experienced... and... executed BRILLIANTLY. IF You're staying at the Marriott Breadsall... or ANYWHERE in the vicinity... you MUST go to Darley's Make a reservation... if you don't... then don't be surprised if you don't get In. It's THAT good. [OK... I'm done now. I don't know what else to say... other than "I DON'T WANNA LEAVE." ] WAIT... The dessert ("pudding, as they say... I went for the "sampler...INEXPLICABLE. All I can say at this point is... Just TRY IT! OVERALL, in all my decades of travel and seeking out the very best restaurants in the world ... THIS one - almost by accident - rises almost to the top. WEIRD... but awesome.

The Blenheim House hotel and restaurant is just on the outskirts of Etwall. I've probably been to…read morethe Blenheim, virtually every week for the last six years, its a great place to go and relax, have a coffee and the let the troubles of the world melt away. Friendly staff, luxuriant surroundings and décor, also add to the experience. There are comfy sofas and leather chairs in the lounge area, or more traditional tables in the 'snug', which is where we mainly dine; whereas the more formal dining area, has that little bit of elegance for that special occasion. Having been through many incarnations since my original review, it was time for an update. The lunch/lounge menu, consists of dishes like hot and cold sandwiches, with the accompanying sides of dressed salad and the Blenheim's legendary chips, so tasty!; They also do pizzas, themed on cities around the world like Roma, Parma, New Delhi and of course, Derby! There are other dishes like burgers, hot and cold meze platters and the fish of the day. The burger was strangely underwhelming, but the Sea Bream, Salmon or Sea Bass when they are on, are definitely stand out dishes, a perfect balance of flavours. The Blenheim is on the pricey side, but the food on the whole is excellent, a great place to wile away a few hours, in comfortable surroundings.

Here, even though they were getting ready for a 200 person bash - they were friendly and accomodating, even setting a table for us despite our only wanting a bar snack. 5 stars for that! The food was ok - I have a feeling it's actually much better, but I'm letting them off because they were obviously very busy! We were also able to finish our work in the bar; we weren't rushed and didn't feel pressured to go; even the tables being carried past us! xx
