My husband and I love this place! We’ve have never had a less than exquisite meal at the Tickled trout and the service is second to none. Chris and his team deliver at a very high standard, every time! Last time we went we brought a group of friends from all over the world (Sweden, Japan, Tasmania, Romania and England represented at our table) and we had a wonderful meal together. For those with an interest in wine it’s also worth a visit as they have an excellent wine list. Nice to see some British sparkling wine introduced for spring and summer too!

Fabulous pub in the beautiful peak district. Food is delicious and a great mix of traditional and more refined dishes. Chris has created a fantastic menu. Staff are warm and friendly and the service is excellent. Highly recommend!

Thank you to the whole team at the Tickled trout! I stayed in Little Trout just for one night, wish it had been for longer.... beautiful meal - highly recommend the arancini and the beef was excellent. Maybe the Yorkshire rhubarb is more superior! Will be back soon!

Had Christmas dinner here and it was absolutely the best dining experience our family has had, even PK my father in law was impressed, his meat and two veg culinary standards are Mount Everest. The staff were excellent, the way Christmas dinner was presented and timed was perfect. Thank you to the chef and all the staff who made our family Christmas dinner the best. Highly recommend the tickled trout to everyone.

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for years but always cried off so since it is now open again my partner and I visited last night. Why have I waited so long is now my cry. It's a fantastic setting for dinner but that belies the quality of the food. We both started with the scallop and chorizo with pea puree, a simple starter but easily spoiled. The scallops were cooked perfectly and it was nice they were served with the roe, the chorizo crisp and with a paprika flavour that goes so well with scallops. The pea puree was as smooth as you could want. Round 1, clean plates! For main course I chose the fillet beef and madam chose the smoked cod loin. My beef was cooked to perfection and she said the cod was the same but with a not overpowering smoking. The little eye-opener on mine was the mushroom pastie that was served with it. My fillet melted in the mouth and both mains were neither too large or too small. Round 2, clean plates. I had a desert but madam chose to just have coffee. I chose the date and hazelnut pudding with a black treacle sauce and ice cream. The pudding was light and full of flavour, the sauce heavy with black treacle went perfectly and the ice cream rounded dessert so well that I only took an after photo. With 2 coffees and a nice bottle of 2016 Rioja and a bill of just over £110 for both of us we will be visiting again, very soon! P.S madam always gets effusive over napkins and I'm pleased to report proper linen used here.

Beautiful meal, great service from start to finish. We was treated like VIP guests. The meal was so delicious I’d come back to chesterfield, just to come back here, the chef needs a pay rise 😊 and we came from Birmingham, for the week and this place is a real gem, I highly recommend trying it

Fantastic food and great front of house, resulted in a wonderful meal. We had 3 courses, with each being flawless - high quality ingredients, cooked and presented well! Highly recommend a visit, and will certainly be back soon. Save room for desert, the Crème brûlée was delicious.

Stumbled across this place via Google and absolutely enjoyed the experience. Attention to the ingredients shows up as tasty food - even for the simplest of items like eggs on toast. Near perfect ambience located on the Main Street within easy access of most parking and bus stops. Early start recommended or booking as the place is fully booked and very popular (rightfully so !). Stroll in the village afterwards for. A delightful day out.

Oh my, what a lovely place. Had afternoon tea (birthday treat), it was amazing. So much food we took some home. Service was great, food was lovely. First time visiting, but it won't be the last. Very popular place so booking a table is a must.

This afternoon was our third visit to this brilliant little eatery and our second experience of the afternoon teas. Well worth driving over from Manchester for according to our friends! The combination of savoury and sweet selections, home prepared and served up with a smile is amazing, freshly prepared and so tasty. The scones (both cheese and fruit) are fluffy and light and there's no pressure to eat fast and clear out of the place making for a wonderful afternoon all round. Thoroughly recommend booking a table here and having a great time.

Best restaurant in Chestfield. Food here won't let you down. The coffee is good. The breakfast is really delicious. Dinner is a bit pricey but it's good food. Try to order three dishes deal for £18. Then add others will be better. We really enjoy the food here. If you are coming for the dinner,try to make the reservation before you come on Friday evening to Sunday lunch.

We booked the Bottle and Thyme for a party of 50+ people, to include a hot buffet. We were not disappointed! The quality of the food provided was outstanding, and plentiful, with plenty of choice for all tastes. The staff were excellent, and could not do enough to help, ensuring plates, cutlery and food was replenished as necessary, also ensuring there was someone serving at the bar. A couple of days later, 4 of us returned for breakfast where once again we experienced a first class service, no delays and delicious, well prepared and presented food. Personally, I recommend the large breakfast, but you will need an appetite to match! I would highly recommend the Bottle and Thyme, and will be returning.

I went here today with my mum. The best quiche and slaw EVER. Crumbly pastry, tasty quiche, but the slaw was the best bit. Pomegranate, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, shredded cabbage and a zesty salad dressing. Yummy!! Fabulous service by everyone. Thank you so much! ❤️😀

We really enjoyed our meal at Bottle and Thyme. We had 7 small plates between 2 of us on a midweek deal - 3 plates for £18. Every plate was delicious and we were disappointed that we couldn’t manage to finish it all! Service was excellent too. Great quality and value for money

My wife and I called here on a rainy Sunday afternoon, as the place where we had in mind was closed. We were greeted with a friendly welcome when we arrived and directed to a seating area. We both had the Sunday Carvery and weren't disappointed at all. There was a good selection of locally sourced meats, and as a nice touch, we could choose if we wanted the meat, rare, medium or well done. A good selection of hot fresh vegetables and the red cabbage was to die for. We both left with full bellies. On a separate note, there was also a good selection of hand pulled beers, for the beer lovers. Would I recommend and return. Definitely. I would. If you like my honest review and find it helpful, please follow me as I review on a regular basis.

Came here for a Sunday dinner with friends. Was about £33 for two carveries so not bad. Was really impressed with the carvery in that there was 8 meat options, including how you wanted your meat. You could have rare beef, medium beef, gammon, turkey, medium lamb, well done lamb and a couple of others. You could also have a nut roast too. Love the variety of meats to suit everyone. The mash was also very good. Everything else was standard. The parsnips and carrots were not peeled, and they were plain boiled parsnips not honey roasted. The peas were on the crunchier side and I prefer my veg soft. They had cheesy leeks and cauliflower cheese. It is not very good for labelling as I knew not all the veg was vegetarian. The red cabbage was picked and not stated that was not nice. The roast potatoes were crunchy but a little dry. The Yorkshire was big but not my favourite. Was worth the try for the meat

Excellent cider selection with fifteen on the drinks menu! Plenty of seating outside and very dog friendly. Pizza oven out the back... menu looks good & at a fair price.

Had a thoroughly good evening here , some very good service and food was impressive. Had the dirty onion burger, and it was gorgeous, really high quality meat cooked with the slightest blush of pink, sauces and onions all complemented and enhanced the burger. Chips were proper chips one of the best burgers I've had in a long time.

This place is an absolute gem. The food is home cooked, no bland generic ping food . The staff have time to be really polite and helpful. We meet here every other month and it's consistently amazing.

Came here for a coffee after a walk in the cold. Friendly service and very nice latte. (We only ordered drinks so can't comment on the food, although the cake display did look very enticing!) Loved the free treat for the dogs! And appreciate the blankets for customers that are sitting outside.

This is my 3rd visit. The food is lovely as is the restaurant. The girl who served us was charming, polite and very helpful. I chose a meal off the specials, pan fried duck breast with fresh vegetables and potatoes. All in all a lovely place to have a meal.

A fantastic restaurant/pub. We met with friends for dinner on a Thursday evening. We were shown to our table in the bar area which was lovely, all the tables in the main restaurant were all booked. The food was exceptional, they had some really nice beers on too and everyone really enjoyed the evening. Highly recommend this place. Quality food/drink, great service and atmosphere.

We had a table booked on a saturday night at 20:45, we arrived and were seated in the bar area whilst our table was prepped as it was extremely busy. This place is very popular which is a reflection of its quality. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful even though they were clearly working very hard to keep customers happy, the food was great, very high quality

Highly recommended, came here for my wife’s birthday with my son, although the restaurant was full with people waiting for tables, staff where friendly, attentive and got us to our table shortly after our reservation. Food came out in a reasonable time, well sized portions and competitively priced. Will be coming again.

Me and my partner have been here a few times now and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. The food is absolutely incredible, the staff are so attentive and can't do enough for you, even when they're busy. The atmosphere is lovely and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. This is definitely going to be our new favourite restaurant.

Latest review: updates since July 2024 - Popular pub with good vibes and full of life.👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Hospitality: 5/5 - service was excellent today. Persinal request - (Wish the owner visited more. He's great company) :) Food: 5/5 - the food was excellent as always. The vegan ghoats cheese a red onion tart I normally have was great. All our choices were of great quality. All around satifaction. Non sundays: (Latest) - just as great as always. The burger was not overpowering, but still had a lovely level of flavour! (Like more cheese though) ;) Picked from the cheesecake selextion. desserts are amazing as always 🍰 Building: 4.5/5 - same amazing design as my last review. I've decided my complaint bout the front door is not worth it. Only complaint: although thers no more mould, the area in the men's bathroom I showed still look a little dirty. +2 🌟 My dad once had the best stake ever. 🏆 Also The braising steak he had was gorgeous a reminded him of home. 😊 Hats of to the chef. 🎩
