Best Places and Services in Borrowash, Derbyshire (2025)

It's one of the nicest and most serene venues I've been so far in years. The owner is business minded. I say this because a beautiful garden is attached to the Hall where good pictures can be taken and canapés can be served before the hall is opened for the guests. There is parking just opposite the hall and also on the side roads. The toilets are sparkling clean and you have a reception area as well. I can only give this venue a 5 star.

We had our daughter’s wedding on the 01/02/25. This was our first wedding we were completely inexperienced and apprehensive. However, Saleem from start to finish was professional, knowledgeable, caring and most all made us feel at ease. He was very attentive, listened, suggested and guided, nothing was trouble for he had a solution every situation. On the day, every expect of requirement were not only met but exceeded beyond our expectations. The venue, decor, cleanliness, waiters and most importantly the food were outstanding. We received so many compliments from our guests and most importantly Saleem ensured the day was magical for our daughter. We could not have asked for anymore and I would highly recommend Saleem and his team without a doubt. If you are looking for smooth and well executed wedding, the please reach out to Saleem, from first interaction we will be impressed. Last but not least, Saleem and team, thank you so much for everything. You have gained a customer for life.

We recently had our wedding at Occasions, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the owner was a pleasure to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and always going the extra mile. As first-time wedding planners, we appreciated his invaluable advice and guidance, which made everything stress-free. On the big day, every detail—from the decor to the setup—was beyond our expectations, executed flawlessly and right on time. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to making your event special. We’re so grateful and would book with him again without hesitation. Thank you for making our day magical!

I recently had my nikah at Occasions Events Venue, and it was an exceptional experience. Saleem, the event manager, demonstrated excellent communication throughout, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The decor and food surpassed our expectations, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The venue's fantastic parking facility and beautiful outdoor private space added to the overall charm. Highly recommend Occasions for any special event!

Love playing here and apart from the bunkers needing a bit of servicing the course is in good condition.glad to see they're putting more drainage in.just slightly annoying that 18 hole players cross over 12 hole players. We need a bigger course.

Beautiful views of the week maintained course. Plenty of seating and very clean and tidy. The menu is small but with locally sourced and perfectly cooked ingredients every option our group ordered was really lovely. Staff were well turned out, friendly and helpful. They were obviously happy and it made for a good atmosphere. In addition our party included a (well behaved) dog who they were happy to show in white we were eating which was particularly nice and meant we didn't have to rush.

Lovely course , for the amount of rain we've had was it was dry all round. Greens were small but tricky which is a nice challenge. Lads in the society rated it up there

We had a family birthday in meal, there were 19 of us. The room is okay if a little bare with not much atmosphere. The view out across the golf course was good. The menu was good with everybody finding things they liked, there were plenty of gluten free options for those that needed them. The quality of the food was good across all 3 courses and nit to expensive. 2 courses for £17 3 courses for £22. There is no bar in the dining room, so you had to go to the bar for them. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a pleasant place to eat as a large group.

Apart from being a very fine course, due credit must be paid to the Head Professional Tim Coxon. Probably the finest in the East Midlands. Outstanding service.

Rating: 5 / 5

A very picturesque course and only a little hilly. Reasonably priced golf and refreshments with great, friendly staff. Definitely recommend a visit.

Fabulous from start to finish! Sarah made our dream wedding come true! Nothing was too much and Sarah was so warm and welcoming! Highly recommend!

We can't thank Sarah enough for the incredible job that she did for us decorating our ceremony and reception rooms at The Olde House in Chesterfield. Sarah is amazing and nothing is too much trouble, she designed our wedding exactly how we dreamed it to be! Thank you for making our big day so special!

Sarah was amazing. Such a lovely provider. She has kept us at ease throughout the whole process. Our venue was beautifully decorated . The services she provides are excellent and they do not break the bank. She excelled at what was proposed. Thanks Sarah.

Sarah was amazing from the first moment we met her. She was really helpful and took loads of the stress off me. We had her to decorate for our engagement party she made the whole process so much easier. We can’t wait to get her booked for our wedding! ❤️💍 Edit: 2025 Sarah did my wedding decorations too and she was amazing yet again, she made the whole process so stress free and the venue looked incredible, I can’t wait for my next big event so I can use Sarah again 🩷

Steve and his team provided an excellent service from the first call to request a survey and quotation to the work being done. The survey was completed using a drone showing the damaged areas on the roof. Quotation was provided swiftly and work completed within a week. Hopefully the need does not occur again soon but would be more than happy to use SPH Roofing again.

SPH carried out repairs promptly, very polite, clean and tidy. 1st rate service would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of hiring Steve and his team to do a full roof installation, replacing all the old existing tiles and roofing felt. I have been having leaking issues due a poor dry ridge installation in 2017. After doing extensive vetting and meeting the team I was very confident that I have found the right team. First impressions are important to me, this was maintained from start to finish and I believe they worked on my home like it was their own. Kurt, Lewis, Regie and Jamie were very polite (even when I got their names wrong consistently), genuinely attentive and patient when I asked a lot of questions about what they were doing and why. Each time I left settled and more confident that the work was in good hands, night and day compared to work the that was done previously. Before finishing off the day the team would make sure the surrounding site was clean and tided from debris. I have since (and evening during the work) had neighbours complimenting, admiring the hard work and professionalism the team displayed. I’m very critical and fussy but the final result is ‘perfect’. I have no issue recommending SPH Roofing to any friends and family. Now I just need it to rain so it’ll wash some of the dust off the new tiles haha. Thanks again SPH, Super job.

We play a lot of open competitions a year and two of the Lad's had never played Chevin before so I booked us into an open. The day from start to finish was second to none.We were made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff from the club house to the well stocked Pro shop then a starter that was a credit to the club. We had a top notch breakfast then a round on one of the very best courses we have played this year. Fairways were just like walking on carpet complemented by true greens that posed some issues to work out the line in short a top course. I would very strongly recommend this class golf club.

We are always welcomed with a smiley face. Course in very good condition even after 2 days of torrential rain. Good food and choice of drinks. Thanks from the players from Burton Golf Club

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent course. Not the longest in the world, but technical with sloped fairways. The technically gifted will have a significant reward. Nice clubhouse with friendly staff.

Booking Vermillion for our wedding week was the best decision. From the planning all the way through to the big days, everything ran smoothly. Pav helped our visions come to life, and delivered even more than we could’ve expected. Our friends and family were blown away by the decor, and we heard compliments throughout the week. We were a bit unsure on what our budget would get us, and Pav was completely transparent on what would be provided. We are super grateful that we booked with such a professional and friendly team. We cannot wait to book Vermillion for future events.

Rating: 5 / 5

CANNOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH! I’m so glad I booked Pav back in 2019. For me it’s really important that I can connect with my vendors and Pavs energy really stood out to me, he built a great rapport with me and I knew instantly we could work easily together. Pav is really passionate about his work and this truly comes through in his dedication to go above and beyond to make my wedding special and meet my vision! We had some challenges with the pandemic and Pav was always accommodating and did everything to make sure he could provide a service despite numerous date changes. He was flexible, open minded and super committed. Both events were absolutely stunning and I couldn’t be happier with the level of work!!! I received so many compliments and I am so happy I trusted my gut and worked with vermilion events the whole team is lovely. Thank you for being patient and delivering impeccably on my wedding days!!

Working with Pav was the best thing we did. We booked our wedding pre-covid and had to downscale to an intimate wedding of 25. Pav was so calm and as we went through the journey, he listened and took on board our vision but also understood us. We cannot recommend them enough! Pav was absolutely brilliant. I remember walking into my reception and feeling so overwhelmed and in love with what Pav had created for us. A hugh thank you to Pav. We loved everything you did for us. Would recommend Vermillion 100%. Jet and Mary

One of the best courses in England and despite it's relatively short length it still offers a good test of golf. The course has always been in impeccable shape whenever we've played there.The staff in the clubhouse are welcoming with a nice selection of food and ales. The views both from the clubhouse and on the course are superb. Overall a brilliant day of golf can be had at Cavendish, however the weather can be brutal at times, so don't forget your waterproofs!

Absolute class. My friend and I played on a glorious Sunday afternoon in October, and it was perfect. I knew about the reputation of this course as ‘the inspiration for Augusta’ and it does deliver. Dr Alastair McKenzie knew what he was doing. Amazing views from all corners of the course and despite the overall elevation, because the holes are carefully crafted into the tables of the terrain, it is a surprisingly good walk. The staff (shoutout to assistant pro, Liam) are super helpful and make you feel very welcome. Great hospitality in the clubhouse and you can enjoy watching players come in with a cold pint on the terrace. Cannot recommend highly enough and can’t wait to return next year. Proper golf course!

Rating: 5 / 5

Not the longest course but definitely has some challenging holes and tricky greens to navigate. The course is set in beautiful countryside with panoramic views and has been maintained to a very high standard. The greens are superb and some of the best I've ever played on.

Rating: 5 / 5

Fantastic course played in heavy winds was challenging but enjoyable will return and play when less windy someday some

Practice course currently hard as expected but such a great area. Looking forward to utilising this throughout my membership! New to the club. Very welcoming. All inclusive including seniors section! Extremely happy with all aspects of the professionalism to date and recommend this course for women and men.

Enjoyed a Carvery and Beer whilst watch the Cup final today. The food was fantastic and good value for money. Friendly service with a smile too. Thank you.

Great place to play golf ⛳ Nice flat course that gives you value for your shots - but beware of the trees 🌳 Visited as part of a society & the hospitality & pie 🥧 & chips were great 👍

Held my 70th Birthday Lunch there on Sunday 2nd March. There were 15 of us (obviously we pre booked) including my two youngest grandchildren. The unanimous vote was, that that was the best carvery meal we've ever had. Absolutely delicious, freshly cooked, and presented by the very friendly chef. Who went the extra mile to cook a beautiful veggie meal for one of us and chicken nuggets for the wee ones. Excellent value for money. Heartily recommended. We'll definitely eat there again.

Our first time in the new restaurant and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. What a change, the design is a huge improvement from before, they’ve created a welcoming and contemporary restaurant which is matched with a varied and interesting menu. And so lovely to look out over the stunning golf course. The food was good, so was the service. Looking forward to our next visit, would definitely recommend!

Came her today for champagne breakfast for my wife's birthday, food was amazing although the portions were large, not a complaint! Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We've been before and would definitely come again. 100% recommend it. Well done everyone 👏 👍

Visited the newly opened restaurant and was surprised with what a transformation from what it was before. It was much more atmospheric than before with a more welcoming vibe. Service was fast and attentive and food was excellent especially the wood fired pizza. All in all and excellent evening and will definitely be going back 10 out of 10
