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.

Spent a wonderful valentines evening at the Old post and me and my husband were very impressed. The interior is lovely with a warm and cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and very helpful, very attentive but not intrusive. We had a really nice chat with our waitress who gave us lots of information and got us booked in for one of their tasting menu events which I'm really looking forward to. The food was beautiful! High quality and generous portion sizes. We got canapés, starters, sorbet, main, dessert and a lovely box of homemade baileys chocolates to take home. All absolutely delicious! Can't wait to visit again. Perfect for a special occasion or romantic date night.
