"A group of nine of us went for a St. Patrick's Day lunch, but we were disappointed to find that there were no Irish dishes on the menu. The meal cost £12.50 per person and included a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains, and 3 desserts. We had high expectations given the price, especially since the college charges more than restaurants in town. The leek and potato soup was tasty and well presented, with a swirl of cream added to the green soup. The roast lamb was supposed to be leg, but there was too much gristle and fat, making it seem more like shoulder. The student waitress insisted it was leg, but we were not convinced. The vegetables were just average, with the long stemmed broccoli appearing slightly yellow. The desserts, including lemon tart, tiramisu, and panna cotta, were decent but not outstanding."

"Family meal with grandchildren. Can concur with other positive reviews suffice to say food was outstanding especially the specials. Grandchildren were delighted at the chance to construct their own complimentary pizzas with all food and beverages reasonably priced. At 1830 on a Monday evening it was well attended so would advise to book in advance. Full marks for all staff and their interactions with grandchildren who had a blast. Three birthday parties tonight with all bells a whistles."

"I have visited this restaurant several times in the past and have always enjoyed my meals. However, my experience today was very disappointing. We ordered the 2-course Sunday lunch and were disappointed to find that the stuffing was rock hard slabs that did not resemble stuffing at all. We immediately sent it back. Additionally, there was only a small amount of gravy on the dinner, so I requested extra gravy but never received it. Our table was not cleared, and we never received our desserts. After waiting for 40 minutes, I had to go to the bar to ask for a refund on the desserts. The staff member behind the bar was busy but could have been more polite. We will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"I recently visited The Pudding Emporium because I was intrigued by its cute and unique concept. I decided to try the Buxton Pudding and it was fantastic. For my main course, I had the homemade vegetable soup with bread and butter, while my husband enjoyed a cheese toastie with vegetable crisps and a side salad. Both dishes were delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. As for the Buxton Pudding, it was served with custard and was absolutely delicious. It was so good that my husband, who typically doesn't enjoy desserts, ended up ordering one as well. The shop had a variety of foods and gift items, making it a charming place to visit. I highly recommend checking it out."

"This is such a little gem of a cafe. The food is lovely, vegan options as well. We had pasties, so good, a spinach feta one, a chorizo and bacon one and a classic beef pasty. The staff are lovely, so helpful and friendly. Lovely little garden area at the bank. Dog friendly, we don’t have one but we love to say hello to other peoples. Go, you won’t be sorry."

"We were staying in Hayfield at an Airbnb cottage and wandered up the road to find this pub. The name made us wonder if it was going to be a bit of a boozer but when we went inside we were pleasantly surprised. On arrival, we were shown to our table and given details on the specials and our drinks order taken. The menu was typical of a pub which had some old favourites and a couple of fish dishes on offer. We both chose a goats cheese starter. For the mains my partner went for the chicken in a beautifully creamy sauce and I had traditional fish and chips with mushy peas. All absolutely delicious! For pudding we asked one of the very helpful, smily waitresses her opinion on the best dessert and she suggested the Malteasers cheesecake. My partner had that and I had the blueberry cheesecake perfect! The staff are very friendly and smiley, they make time to have a chat with you and the food and service was excellent. We would highly recommend visiting this pub and if ever visiting Hayfield again we will be back!"

"We booked for an early meal at 6.30 on a Friday. After being shown to our table we were left for 15 minutes without menus so eventually, we went up to the bar to ask for menus so that we could at least begin choosing. The woman at the bar asked if we hadn't been given menus and if we had booked! I then asked for a drinks menu also that, at least we could order a drink. Again, instead of just giving us them we were told they were usually on the table! Eventually, we were given the drinks menu, which did not have beers listed and when we asked we were directed to a blackboard at the rear of the restaurant where some beers were listed but without showing the volume, strength or price which is illegal). We eventually ordered our food and went for the vegetarian starter for two and our main courses. When it arrived the waitress slipped and spilt the sauce and about 1/3 of the food on the table. Accidents happen and we have no issue with that but she then left and we were left waiting for a long time until we went to find another waitress to clear it up who the muttered something about getting us some prawn crackers as she left. I had to go back to the bar to say we didn't want prawn crackers as we are vegetarian and we were told they'd bring something else instead but this never appeared and by then we'd given up! The main courses were actually quite nice but the service throughout was so bad we'll probably never go back. It's a shame because this place used to be really good but we were made to feel like an inconvenience for even turning up."

"Before I'd ever eaten from the Rajni I'd been past, from Hadfield Rail Station, salivated at the smell eminating from within. Now having sampled their cuisine I know that it tastes every bit as good as I'd imagined. We tend to collect our takeaway it's nice to see the food being prepared in the open kitchen. I cannot speak highly enough. Absolutely excellent"

"I went for lunch today and arrived just after 12. It wasn't too busy. We ordered food and waited quite a while, nearly an hour, for our starters. There was only one person serving tables in the large restaurant, and they were doing their best. After we finished our starters, we waited for our mains. It turns out we were supposed to go to the bar and let the staff know we were done, but we weren't aware of that. The mains arrived and they could have been better - the caesar salad had nearly pan-fried halloumi, the lettuce wasn't fresh, the dressing was warm, and the side order of onion rings cost 3.75 for only 5 rings. The salad with halloumi cost 13.75 plus 3.75 for the side order, which is too expensive. It's clear that there is a staffing issue at this restaurant, and I've seen job adverts for positions there for a while. They need a supervisor or manager in addition to the one person trying to manage everything. It may be a while before I go back, which is a shame. (Estimated time: 12:05-14:45)"

"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."

"Based on some good reviews we went here for my wife's birthday. My wife chose a vegan filo pastry parcel and I chose a vegan falafel burger with hummus. The filo pastry was so tough my wife struggled to cut it open; the interior was excessively sweet and not worth the effort. The vegan falafel was tasteless and stodgy, so was the bun. Even the chips (the thin french fries variety) were like cardboard. We both left most of our meals and abandoned any idea of desert. The bar staff did not seem surprised we were unhappy and we were obviously not the first to say the burger was terrible. For comparison we went into the nearby Rose Cottage cafe for coffee and cake the food looked lovely and was *much* better value. Updated from previous review on 2019 02 18"

"I visited with a lady friend. Been before and always found it welcoming. I we ordered the vegetable soup and sandwiches which were excellent, as were the drinks. Just one complaint and this cafe is not the only one guilty of this practice. Why do they insist on putting unadvertised salad on the plate. Not everyone likes salad. Much better to advertise it as an option for an extra payment. Other than that, it’s a lovely intimate cafe. Will go again."

"A surprise mid-week visit to the Beehive resulted in a delightful supper. Drinks: Sauvignon blanc with soda and ice, Lager. Supper: It was getting on for 8pm and I asked John (the host) if there was anything in the kitchen as my foodie partner and I were in need of some 'intake '. Nothing heavy and so we went for the: Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs with peppers and chips x2 WOW, they used a fine-grain salt and pepper covering that whilst adding taste, did not 'burn ' your mouth. The chips are nicely oiled with S&P alongside fried peppers. What a lovely surprise. Even a 'doggy bag ' was provided for the couple of ribs left over. My foodie partner also met some people she had not seen for a good number of years. So overall, a really good night."

"Myself and 3 kids had a meal here and when we sat at the table there were only 2 other people sat at another table. Drinks order taken quickly and poppadums brought quickly. However we then had to wait 15 minutes for our main food order to be taken. On top of this we then had a further 45 minute wait for our food, 4 basic curries, 2 rice, chips and 2 naan, so hardly a complicated order. During our wait numerous takeaway orders were made and collected and at no time did any member of staff update us or apologise for our wait. I went to the counter to enquire about our order and was told they were busy and short staffed. Food came and was luke warm and the anount of chicken in the dishes was minimal. On paying the bill, which included four cans of coke (saying ‘multipack not to be sold seperately’ at £2.45 each!! I asked if we could have a discount because of the unreasonable long wait for our food. The response from the owner was that 40 minutes was not an unreasonable time to have to wait for food, they had to make profit on the drinks and what would I expect to pay at Nandos!! I was offered £1.55 off a £71.55 bill but at no time given an apology!!"

"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!"

"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!"

"My friends and I have visited the restaurant multiple times and have always had a pleasant experience. Recently, I had planned to host visitors from Australia, but due to lockdown restrictions in both the UK and Australia, they were unable to travel. Now that the restrictions have been lifted, my friends are arriving in the UK this Sunday. I reached out to Robbie at the Ramblers Rest to inquire about using an expired voucher due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, Robbie bluntly refused to honor the voucher, leaving me disappointed as I had hoped for a more understanding response. Despite the good memories of previous visits to the Ramblers Rest in Castleton, this experience has soured my opinion of the restaurant."

"Excellent and what service !! We visited whilst in Buxton with our little dog we looked in the window trying not to stare but couldn't see any free tables do we walked on. A lady duly ran out and shouted that they had a table and we went in. Had a lovely cream tea in a cafe where time has stood still. Well worth a visit"

"We frequently pass by this restaurant on our way to other destinations in Derbyshire. We decided to stop in for a quick coffee and toast, but ended up ordering the full breakfasts from the menu. One of us got the vegetarian option and the other chose a non-vegetarian option, both of which were excellent. We also enjoyed two delicious lattes to finish our meal. The staff were very welcoming and the restaurant has a charming village atmosphere. A bonus is that since it used to be a pub, it has full-sized separate toilets, unlike some places that have cramped shared bathrooms converted from pantries."
