Matlock

About the restaurant

Tucked away in the heart of former spa town Matlock, Stones is a cosy restaurant serving modern British cuisine. The restaurant’s interior is smart and intimate while the kitchen marries British produce with recipes inspired by international cuisine. Don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the seasonal lunch and dinner menus, every dish demonstrates the culinary imagination, technique and flair of the vibrant kitchen team, led by head chef Kevin Stone. The additional tasting menu offers eight courses partnered with a carefully selected optional flight of wine. Catering for all dietary requirements, Stones offer distinct vegetarian and GF menu. Diners can enjoy views overlooking the coursing waters of the River Derwent. Discreet, informed service with an informal approach, allowing the food to take centre stage, Stones is one of the finest dining experiences in the area, carrying two AA rosettes for culinary excellence. ***Visit www.stones-restaurant.co.uk for up to date menus.***

Odyssey Greek Restaurant

Chesterfield

About the restaurant

Odyssey Restaurant is a little chunk of Greece transported into the heart of Chesterfield, offering customers a journey of authentic flavours, sounds and the atmosphere of Greece.

Owned and run by a Greek family, Odyssey is based in the centre of Chesterfield town on 1-3 Knifesmithgate, in a traditional English building and what used to be known as the old Queen’s Head. The owners have managed to bring the building back to life by marrying old English and Greek tradition, maintaining the beauty of the building, but also enhancing it with sites and the aroma of Greece.

Among the many menu choices, one can find lovely Greek salad (horiatiki) to chicken, pork, vegetable or prawn skewers or a classic moussaka, rabbit stifado or meatballs with goat’s cheese. Mediterranean flavours and love for cooking Greek authentic recipes is the menu inspiration.

About the restaurant

Here are the White Horse Inn @ Woolley Moor, we don’t make a song and dance about our menus as we believe that the food should just speak for itself. We have a great chefs who make the most of all the fabulous produce that the local area has to offer.

Where possible we always look to source locally from the Peak District and Derbyshire making the most of seasonal fruit and vegetables as well as locally reared meat and locally produced dairy. We follow the seasons closely to offer food that is fresh and appropriate to the time of year, providing full flavours that will satisfy the heartiest appetite.

In addition to our regular menus, we also offer a specials board that changes on a regular basis, featuring an extra selection of starters, main courses, and desserts. It's always worth checking to see what else we have to offer – you will not be disappointed!

Please note that, unfortunately, due to staff shortages, we are having to change our food service hours.

The Chequers Inn Froggatt Edge

Hope Valley

About the restaurant

The Chequers Inn is a 14th century building with as much charm as it has history. Owned by Jonathan & Joanne Tindall since 2002, this cosy inn is also a hotel, serving as a brilliant base for exploring the Peak District, whether it be a visit to Chatsworth House or a walk along Froggatt Edge. Boasting an AA Rosette, the food at The Chequers ranges from the classic fish and chips and burgers to the seasonally-changing dishes such as lamb rump, seabass and vegetable pithivier. The proper steak and ale pie, however, is the fan favourite, and is even available to take home! Throughout the summer, the large woodland garden is the perfect place for a refreshing drink or a bite to eat, whereas in the winter, the two log fires make the pub warming and comfortable, making The Chequers Inn the perfect place to visit any time of year.

The food was delicious, a good selection to choose from . The two for £23 , cottage pie and fish and chips were our choice and did not disappoint. We ordered from the bar, but table service is available . A nice relaxed ambiance made a perfect week date night .

We had another great experience at Lagan. The food was excellent and all staff were super friendly. Following a take-away a couple of weeks before (the best take-away we have ever had!) we decided to visit for my partners' birthday and it didn't disappoint. We will be back very soon.
