"Nestled in the charming village of Morley, Derbyshire, this country pub offers a delightful dining experience with its cosy atmosphere, complete with a welcoming open fire. The friendly staff add to the charm, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. A particularly nice touch is the chef personally coming out to check if your meal meets expectations—a gesture that adds a genuine sense of care and attention to detail. The food is a standout, with hearty dishes that reflect the best of British pub fare. The lamb shank was beautifully tender, served with creamy parsnip mash and crisp parsnip garnish. Accompanied by roasted vegetables and a rich, flavoursome gravy au jus, it was a dish that ticked all the boxes for a comforting, satisfying meal. The crispy belly pork was equally impressive, with perfectly cooked meat that was melt-in-the-mouth on the inside and deliciously crisp on the outside. Served with mash potato, roasted vegetables, and a cider gravy, it was a well-balanced dish full of flavour. This pub offers a lovely mix of rustic charm, quality food, and attentive service—making it a great spot for a cosy meal in the countryside. If you’re in the area, it’s well worth a visit!
