Hodgkinson's - Menu

Had dinner with wife, daughter and I. We were the only people there initially. Then just other tables of guests later on. The soup amount was very small and the bread with the smoked mackerel a bit crusty. The vegetables and trout were well...cooked. But at for adults and a child it was overpriced.

We selected Matlock for a relaxing getaway and were looking for a hotel with a warm atmosphere and charm. We found both at the Hodgkinson Hotel. Hosts Chris and Zoe always greeted us with a smile. The food was excellent, be sure to make a reservation. The hotel is full of history with original features. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning. -Darren and Caz

We were staying at the hotel and decided to eat there of the nights and we certainly were not disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection. It is very rare that I get a steak just exactly the way I like it, but Chris...did just that. Breakfast was included in our stay and what a breakfast, all good quality produce and well presented. A breakfast that set you up for the day. View menu

We stayed in the hotel for two nights (excellent) and had a meal in the restaurant the second night as they close on Sundays. Both service and quality of food was great and very reasonably priced. I can't understand how this restaurant is not number...one in Matlock Baths as ,with the exception of a Thai restaurant, is the only one serving proper food, if you do not want fish chips ! It probably says more about the reviewers rather than the restaurants.

We ate dinner here twice whilst staying at the hotel. The restaurant is small in normal times; at present they are only using four tables, so do pre-book! Our first dinner was very pleasant, well cooked and presented food, but nothing particularly outstanding. On the...second day, my husband had the lamb (which he said was literally melt in the mouth) and I had the stuffed butternut squash, which was quite honestly one of the best dishes I have ever eaten!! As with the hotel itself, you are treated with friendly, attentive service at all times. Not cheap but worth a visit.

We visited Matlock Bath with friends and decided to book Hodgkinsons restaurant based on a recommendation. We certainly weren’t disappointed. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. It was all cooked to perfection and tasted so fresh and absolutely delicious. The whole evening provided a...memorable experience giving you the feeling of being transported back to the Victorian era. I have to admit upon arriving I wasn’t sure what to expect but we were made to feel so welcome, served delicious food and received exceptional service. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

We booked a table as we weren’t staying in the hotel recommend this as they save tables for guests just in case. Prepare for a surprise when you walk in it’s different, looks antiquated with Victorian era feel.. we were shown into the...lounge to wait for our table. It was a little wait for our meal.. but worth the wait. Nice bread on the table always a good way to keep starvation away and our food was delicious and plentiful. Lamb chop with new potatoes, and trout was really tasty. Two veggie options were good, chose the butternut squash with a variety of extras and a little slice. This was excellent. Extra veggies arrived cauliflower carrots and mange tout simple but spot on and tasty. Sti...

Just returned from an amazing night stay at this wonderful small hotel(only rooms), but all the better for it I feel. We were looked after like royalty by the owners,Zoe and Chris and all the staff. (Special mention to Lindsay).The food, all cooked...to perfection by Chris was exemplary and the variety across the week's stay for breakfast was more than ample. But an absolute must,and certainly a highlight is dinner. A brilliantly attentive and equally delicious experience. An accomplished restaurant in its own right! Add to this some brilliant hosting skills from Zoe, and beautiful original featured guest rooms ,and what you have (especially in the current world situation) is a relaxing and...

My wife and I ate there last Saturday. We had booked for (the earliest possible) and were shown to a lovely table by the window and beside a radiator which was a bonus as the night was chilly. On the surface, the menu appeared...traditional, but the food was splendidly prepared and presented. Our constant fear nowadays is the prospect of nouvelle cuisine', but not a bit of it here: portions were on the generous side without being brutish and destroying the elegant ambience. An interstitial sorbet was served between the starter and the main course. My wife had the chicken and I, the pork both excellent, with mouth-watering sauces and a small dish of al dente' vegetables. We shared an Eton Mes... View menu
