"Clearly a busy spot on the weekend we had a late dinner on the last Friday of the month. Dogs are allowed and very well looked after too! Meal was lovely, my partner had the pie and I had chicken tikka kebab. The food tasted...fabulous and so worth the wait. Staff were attentive but rushed off their feet, so it wasn’t all table service which was honestly not a problem! However, if you had a disability and needed table service this might be worth keeping in mind during busy periods. We ate at sister company the night before and both had great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Izzy really stood out offering brilliant customer service in both venues."

"Food was ok, no problems. We found that apart from the one member of staff (in an Xmas jumper, I’m sorry I didn’t get your name) were quite unfriendly. It almost felt like they really didn’t want to be there. We were given the wrong bill (much more than we had ordered) which was sorted by staff (totally understand that mistakes happen) however, when we were then given the correct bill, We mentioned to them that we had paid £40 cash deposit as requested. They came back to us and basically said we had to prove we had paid it. We had kept the receipt but it was at home, personally I would expect a restaurant to have made a note of the deposit. They actually asked us to go home to get the receipt. My husband and uncle were just going out of the door leaving myself and step daughter at the table when a different member of staff found our £40 deposit, stapled into a diary with our name in the top. Sadly we ended up feeling like we were being accused of lying about having paid the deposit. Maybe make sure all deposits are recorded next to the booking in all calendars."

"We have visited before a few years ago. Went back because we had a good experience. At first things were going ok, but 45 mins after ordering we had not been served, where other who had come in after were getting their food so went and asked what was happening, They had failed to deliver our food it had been cooked but now my gammon was cold, so they microwaved it and served it, mushrooms shrivelled up, gammon was now a biscuit. I called them over so they quickly apologised and cooked another gammon, by which time my wife had finished her food. The manager came over and apologised and decided to refund in full both our meals. Once cooked correctly the food was good hence my score. Would we go there again, yes we would but would be keeping a check on the service time. As a note we did not ask for a refund."
"After a long hike on the weekend, my friend and I were craving some delicious pizza and a good cup of tea. Despite seeing a sign inside the pub restaurant indicating booking only, we decided to ask a very welcoming staff member if we could find a table for two. The entire team was friendly, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed pizzas and fries and were seated near the fire which was perfect as we were soaked from the day out. The pub had a warm and inviting atmosphere and we truly appreciated the exceptional service from the staff. We will definitely be returning when we visit Hope Valley and may even consider staying at George. It was a wonderful experience that left our tummies satisfied. Thank you for your hard work and we can't wait to come back again! Also, highly recommend the pizzas and we've heard the Sunday roast is fantastic. Make sure to book a table in advance as it tends to get busy. We didn't take any photos as we were too hungry and enjoyed each other's company, the food, and conversation."

"Within the impressive Devonshire Dome building in Buxton is a restaurant run by students from a local university and college that promises fine dining at bargain prices. We have a point of reference with this type of establishment having eaten a couple of times at the brilliant Atrium restaurant (run by students at Birmingham’s College of Food), so we arrived with high hopes that it would match the experiences we have had there. Unfortunately it did not quite meet our expectations as there were a lot of small mistakes that kept adding up to a slightly disappointing meal. For starters we both had the squid, anchovy and courgette salad, a dish that was pleasant without being delicious and could have benefitted from being served warm rather than cold. Between courses there was a snack of cheddar and gruyère beignets, which was tasty if you are a fan of cheese. The mains courses we had were pretty much the same in that they were good without being special because of a few minor flaws. The chicken supreme had moist well-cooked chicken which was under seasoned. The red wine sauce was flavoursome but the pastry was too thick on the red onion tartlet. The lamb rump was to be served pink but came medium-well. The Pomme Anna was great but the mint sauce over powered everything else on the plate. For dessert we had a pretty good cherry tart with supposedly cherry ripple ice cream, although it was lacking in ripple, and the rice pudding which was disappointing, particularly as we wanted the chocolate pot but was told it had run out and then watched it be served to customers who arrived after us. However, because of what happened with the chocolate pot the staff didn’t charge us for our bottle of wine, which meant the meal and wine cost us £24. We were promised fine dining at bargain price and while we would contest their definition of fine dining it was most definitely a bargain and in that sense we didn’t leave too unhappy."

"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 was on a stroll through Buxton on a wet and cold weekend afternoon and encountered this place – which showed much promise. Alas a promise unfulfilled. We ordered only hot drinks and puddings. Drinks; good, puddings dry – and cold lumpy custard. In what world are hot winter puddings sold with refrigerated custard. Price was a little steep, but could have been justified if the custard had at least taken a trip via the microwave.There is surely a reasonable expectation that custard would be hot – and if not tell your customers, Please. After all, it must have been hot once!"

"Unfortunately a strange and not too pleasant eating experience. We picked up a range of dishes as a takeaway, and the staff in both the restaurant and the takeaway shop were lovely. The food however was odd, and not very good. The good points; the sticky rice and coconut rice were good, the tofu was pretty nice. The issues; the ‘dry’ red Thai curry was a tupperware full of a thin watery liquid much thinner than coconut milk, the marinated mixed vegetable skewers were uncooked vegetables with no chargrilling and almost no visible marinade, the stir fried vegetable dish was also very watery with almost raw vegetables. For almost 40 this was really disappointing, so although the restaurant may be good, for takeaway I’d advise you don’t risk it."

"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"

"The restaurant has a charming exterior and some cozy seating options inside. However, I was disappointed with the unhelpful and unfriendly staff, and the food did not meet my expectations. On a positive note, they did have a nice variety of arts and crafts available for purchase."

"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."

"I was not satisfied with my experience at this restaurant. We visited after our trip to Peak District and the ambiance was nice, but the food was disappointing. Everything tasted overly sweet, as if it had too much sugar added. The biriyani was particularly unappetizing, I don't know how my friend managed to eat it. I believe that they need to improve the quality of their food. Thank you for the service. We dined in for dinner."

"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!"

"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."

"Ordered 2 Chicken tikka wraps Thursday 29th july 2021 . Apparently they are now cooking the chicken tikka in a different way according to the person I spoke too at Kashmiri. I can honestly say that I have never had chicken tikka that has been wet through and tasted like that . After ringing to complain I did receive a new delivery but I'm sorry to say that I have been totally put off . It was disgusting"
