"Well, we had a strange experience. Firstly our starters came out with the waiters hair in the food, unsure if this was from his head top or copious arm hair. Secondly, when our mains came out, two of five meals were wrong and had to wait for the chefs to cook new meals. Even after clarification twice, the meals were still wrong! Thirdly in the time it took for the replacement order came out, the owner had made one of our party very uncomfortable by invading her personal space insufferably! He then insisted SHE had a large glass of complimentary wine, and begrudgingly offered a small glass to everyone else, other than the one person who received the wrong order and was still waiting for his food! All in all, the meal was late and the owner made us uncomfortable when he wasn't, bumping into other tables, drinking wine behind the bar, or correcting our Italian. If were hungry travellers, on the brink of starvation, an inch from death, crawling on **** stumps, WE WOULD CRAWL ONWARDS! Wouldn't recommend..."

"We called after a long walk around Castleton just as a treat, and we weren’t let down! The staff were really nice chatty, answering any questions about their cakes, as that was what we wanted. Two of the party had cream teas, which they said were delicious, while I had a huge slice of lemon blueberry cake, also excellent, and the last had coffee and walnut cake. Also very good. We all had hot drinks and the bill came to £29."

"We stayed at Millies for one night and can't fault it. The owner was out when we arrived but had sent a text with details how to enter and where to find the key for our room. The room was clean and tidy with a kettle and the usual teas, coffees, milk and Millie's chocolates. There isn't parking but we soon found on street parking, went out for something to eat in the evening and there was plenty of space when we returned. Breakfast was amazing, I had the full vegetarian breakfast and my partner had the full English breakfast there was enough to keep us going all day, and it was all freshly made. There was no rush for us to leave, and even though the tea room was closed when we left we were still able to buy some chocolates to take home delicious!"

"I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The booking process was simple, just a quick phone call is all it takes. Online reservations are not available. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, couples, and singles alike. The staff was attentive and friendly. The portions were generous and the flavors were exquisite. I highly recommend this place!"

"We booked a two-night bed and breakfast stay at the Sycamore Inn. At first glance from the outside, it seemed like the inn could use some maintenance. However, once we stepped inside, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the interior was beautifully decorated. Our room was spacious with a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, and all the necessary amenities like tea and coffee facilities, a hairdryer, and a TV. The room was clean and cozy. The breakfast options were plentiful and of good quality, including fruits, cereals, juices, toast, and a full English breakfast. There was also an abundance of tea and coffee available. We had booked dinner for both nights in advance and were not disappointed. The dinner menu was diverse and the meals were excellently cooked and well-presented. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Special thanks to Letishia for her outstanding service as front of house, and to Nicolas for accommodating our requests. Thank you for a superb experience!"

"we wanted somewhere for a light bite at lunch on a weekend stay in buxton. there was a waiting queue every time we came by and after we saw that most of the places were busy, we decided to just come to the waiting queue and wait. fortunately, the initial greeting and sitting was quite fast for us and we got a comfortable sofa that we were grateful for one there. the food and the drinks were nice when we got them, but the efficiency/organization of sharing the service seemed just a little to leave. customers often waited at the door or tried to pay without confirmation. not sure if the day was unusually busy, but some workers did not seem excessively happy/friendly, which made us a little unwilling."

"We decided to stop by Casa Di Pizza on a whim and we are so happy we did. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back. Our meal was for dinner and cost between £20-30 per person. We rated the food, service, and atmosphere a 5 out of 5. We highly recommend trying the lasagne."

"Just been for a meal while on holiday here. Fabulous! We've never tried a Texmex restaurant before. Hubby had steak tacos, son had buttermilk chicken tacos, and I had steak strips, tiger prawns with salad and mini wedges. Very generous portions, and delicious. The three meals and two pints came to less than £60, which I thought was reasonable. The service was good. The restaurant is on a first floor, with a few stairs to climb. I think it could be a problem for the less able bodied. They do a takeaway option, but it isn't an extensive menu that I can see."

"This fantastic restaurant in the center is a hidden gem. We had the pleasure of dining there three times over the weekend, enjoying delicious late lunches twice and a delightful breakfast. The food is exceptional, and the staff are all wonderful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and boasts a lovely outdoor seating area."

"that eat is fabulous, the cherry and spinat curry with rice yum. the special pita is very good together with the beautiful curly pommes. the sticky toffee pudding with chocolate ice cream was so good, even my partner loves it and he doesn't like desserts. the spicy hot dog role was interesting, looked like a long spring role! eating is really so much better than the pub, it is so out of place in this pub where it is constantly cold, the place is not very welcoming, even if the employees were nice. the place was quite empty next to table with loud old young drinking and playing dominos. That was good, of course. the food belongs in a restaurant, or a better care for pub. updated by the previous review on 2022-02-07"

"Have eaten there several lunchtimes now.Food is always freshly cooked and the menu is reassuringly small.Daily specials are always interesting and often quite unusual.It 's also remarkably good value for money.Both the owner/chef and those serving are friendly and helpful.It is a far better place to eat than the many out of the freezer into the microwave places which seem to be everywhere."
"I researched this café, looking for a meal break in my long journey home from Sheffield. I made a special detour to Glossop to go there. I checked the opening hours on their website the night before, which said they were open until 5pm. It was very disappointing therefore to find all the chairs on the tables and someone cleaning up at just before 3.45. The man explained that they had been very quiet. When I asked about the hours on the website the man said that they didn't know the password to make changes!! Luckily I spotted a Food Hall (not just any food hall... down a path on the opposite side of the road and went there. I try and support the independents but I felt badly let down by this one. I would have been writing a quite different review if the man in the café had had either compassion or a business brain. Both were absent. When I had just travelled an hour to get there and find the café closing, the offer of a hot drink and piece of toast would have been very welcome. As it was I had a very tasty halloumi and falafel wrap in the Food Hall."

"I have been going to this pub for many years and my favourite day to go is a Sunday, if you time it right with your food you can always stick around for the meat raffle at 6.30. It is a busy pub with excellent food and service, the meat raffle increases the good atmosphere that is already there and if you are luckily enough to win everyone celebrates with you. You do not have to go for food, they have a great selection of drinks on the bar, with friendly staff to serve. If Sunday’s not your thing then men’s darts and dominoes on a Monday, quiz night on a Tuesday, which is always a laugh, ladies darts and dominoes on a Wednesday, Thursday is pool night and then the weekend you are guaranteed a good night. Keep an eye out for any entertainment they have on, you wouldn’t want to miss it. There is also a function room upstairs which has its own bar."

"We tried here last night for the first time, we haven't eaten Sri Lankan food before. The lovely three young women serving were all friendly and helpful. There was one in particular that took the time to explain the dishes which helped us to choose and thoroughly enjoy our choices. I loved the atmosphere of the place and the food was tasty and freshly made. We now want to try the buffet that takes place on the last Sunday of the month. The lovely waitress explained it is alternated each time between the ordinary menu and a vegan menu. If you are on Facebook everything is explained on there. Can't wait to return and bring our family who I know will enjoy this fab place."

"One word sums up my first visit on Saturday evening awful . We was booked in for a small birthday dinner, when we arrived we was taken to the function room upstairs which was very cold with no heating on when we arrived, we asked for the heating to be turned on which took 45 mins for the room to warm up, I asked for a pint of pepsi when we arrived as I was designated driver for the evening this request was ignored and we had to ask again 20 mins later, the rest of the party had brought in drinks as the venue has no alcohol licence. The venue is run down and clearly some areas need some repairs which does not give a great impression. Food was served, I had garlic mushrooms for a starter and could not taste any garlic and then asked for a steak as I don 't eat very spicy food, I was told they don 't have steak, I then ordered a mushroom omelette and chips, the omelette was fine, chips where clearly frozen chips brought in bulk and tasteless, the food standard would be what I would expect from a typical cheap cafe in a town centre market not from a restaurant. When the meal ended the waiter accidentally dropoed some cutlery which landed on my white top (brought that day brand new for our evening out) The waiter then said it was my fault and that I was drunk, given I was driving and only had 2 glasses of Pepsi, I find that totally unacceptable and totally unprofessional, we didn 't even get a sorry from the waiter. My top is now stained and even after using vanish stain remover and washing there is still a faint stain. The service was poor, unprofessional, the food was not of a acceptable standard for a restaurant and the decor was tatty and in need of repairs. I didn 't say anything or complain on our visit as I felt it would of ended the evening badly and this was my friend 's birthday meal out so I didn 't want to cause a scene as the night was a celebration of her birthday and not about me. Very disappointed with this restaurant and will never return."

"I just read the ups and downs of previous reviews and thought I should add details of our family’s enjoyment of our meal last night. Starters: We all really enjoyed the food being fresh and tasty and not having a heavy oil slopping around. The following are the positive comments made while we ate. Sheekh kebabs excellent flavour. Onion Bhajis best ever. Prawn Puri, very nice from all of us. Pakoras, really enjoyed. Chicken Chat, requested spicy, very nice. Garlic Naans double garlic) excellent. Nice quality meat throughout. Very moreish aroma as we walked towards the take away. We appreciated being greeted as we walked in. Cost very reasonable bearing in mind the superb quality and the quantity, generous. Mains: Son in law said one of the best curries ever. Grandson older said he really, really, really liked it he doesn’t normally particularly like curry). Wife said she especially enjoyed her Tandoori Chicken with Samba Sauce. I thought my Chicken Jalfrezi was as good as it gets. Grandson younger said he really liked his Chicken Tikka with Sag spinach). Daughter really liked the Chicken Korma, wonderful blended with Tikka Sag sauce and Garlic Naan. The veg pilau rice was spot on. General Note: The chef catered for all our special instructions, everything nicely spiced and full of flavour. Well done, and thank you. Keep up the high standard."

"This was a great local pub with decent beer and happy staff but things change. Its still OK with a decent selection of beer (try the jaipur but don't drive after) but it's definitly dead midweek, despite the great weather. On our recent visit with two friends we were the only people there at around 7:30 and by 9:30 when we left there were two people in the pub. Probably a sign of the times Things are looking up. Called for a quiet pint late Friday afternoon and found the pub much busier than previous visit, not packed but generally busy. Beer selection remains good but no food Rumour has it that the food was good but the pub doesnt appear to serve food anymore. The great Indian restaurant above the pub with beer from the pub remains and is worth a visit. Called on a Saturday night to pick up a curry from queen spice restaurant, above the pub. We were there about an hour and initially the pub was very busy, probably due to the sport on TV, but got quieter as we left, still plenty of people though. Still no food being served, but the beer remains very good"

"Dolly's is a charming and welcoming coffee shop/cafe bistro that offers a delicious full English breakfast for £5.80, including farmer's herby sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, toast, and hash browns. They also offer a larger breakfast option with 12 items. The food is hearty and served promptly. The tea and homemade lemon drizzle cake were both excellent. In addition to breakfast, Dolly's offers soup, toasties, and jacket potatoes with various fillings. They also serve pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. This was our fifth visit to Dolly's and we have never been disappointed. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the background radio is at the perfect level. The restaurant is welcoming to both children and dogs. There is a free village car park nearby, making it convenient for a quick coffee, a special breakfast treat, or a leisurely lunch. Overall, Dolly's offers good value for money and we will certainly be returning."
