"Having spent a number of holidays on various Greek islands over the years, I know a thing or two about Greek food. If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine, give this place a miss. Apart from a very obnoxious and sarcastic waiter, the food was extremely bland. I always thought Moussaka was a dish made from lamb and contained aubergines, not made from beef with no aubergines! It was also served in a dish which led me to believe that it had been prepared in advance and stored in a fridge/freezer. The Meze was lacking a number of elements with a stingy single Dolmades (stuffed vine leaf) per person. The dips were also lacking in taste and may as well have been bought from a supermarket. A real disappointment Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3"

The Hunloke Arms

Menu • Pub • Pizza • Steak • British

"Shocking service if you're sitting in the bar area. Our plates were left on our table for 50 minutes before being taken away. One meal and one pudding wasn't available. The pudding took 50 minutes to arrive after I chased the staff twice, only to be told then that one of the puddings wasn't available. The member of staff informed me that there was only one dessert person on duty and didn't even bother to go the kitchen to chase our order. Surely staff shortage isn't a concern of any customer?? I emailed and complained and no one has bothered to respond. Very disappointed with Hunloke not value for money and overrated."

Lombardi's Ristorante Italiano

➤ 2 Sheffield Rd, Chesterfield, United Kingdom, Tapton

Menu • Pizza • Cafés • Sushi • Mexican

"The food at this restaurant is outstanding. It's not only delicious but also beautifully presented. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes served. I started with garlic bread and followed it up with the arrabiata for my main course, and both dishes were fantastic. While it is a bit on the pricey side, I believe it's worth the cost. However, I would recommend skipping the cocktails; my Piña Colada lacked any alcohol and tasted primarily like pineapple juice. Overall, I'd rate the food a 5 out of 5."

"I was pleasantly surprised when we managed to secure a table at this restaurant before heading to the theater. The staff accommodated us despite the busy evening, and it was easy to see why the place was so popular. It seems that there are not many great dining options in Chesterfield, but this restaurant is a standout and we would definitely return. The food was exceptional; we ordered a variety of small plates to share and were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. We left feeling satisfied and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed, bustling, and welcoming, with the staff going out of their way to ensure a pleasant dining experience. This hidden gem is definitely worth a visit."

Thyme To Eat

➤ 1 The Shambles, Chesterfield S40 1PX, United Kingdom

Menu • Vegan • Mexican • European • Breakfast

"thyme to eat is a pretty picturesque in the good wise little caffe set between the gasses in chesterfield city center. it serves a decent menu, with usually vegetarian options, but there are enough vegan choices not only in terms of meals, but also in terms of drinks and cakes. I had a bbq jackfruit pitta, from the “Specials” board, served with gazed kartoffels and a side salad. the food was great, the setting was nice, and the price was in-line with everywhere else. a really pleasant meal that made a change from the usual chain cafés and restaurants. a light criticism that I would make is that the charalate was much too big. Taste directions may vary, but this salate was enormous to be wasted. I ate as much as I could, but it was still much left I felt that the ratio of salat to the rest of the food was completely wrong, but that's just me."
