Really nice wedding venue on the edge of the Peak District. Fantastic scenery and only a few minutes drive from Curber Edge. As a wedding photographer its always a good day at The Fox & Goose. Give me a shout if you want to know more about my visit there. Photos by @teamedwardsphotography on Instagram

Cosy pub for a Sunday roast. The food was very good. Service excellent. A beautiful view with outside seating. Play area for children. An easy drive just outside of Chesterfield with plenty of parking.

Wanted to go out of my way to leave a positive review for the Fox & Goose. Living fairly locally, we drop in time to time and on Sunday just gone, we did so with our little boy. We hadn't booked nor were we having any food. Just a drink at the bar. Those dining had the opportunity to 'meet santa' in a cordoned off area. Spotting we had a little boy with us, the bar staff kindly invited him in to meet Santa despite us not dining etc. My little boy loved it and was thrilled with his little present. Unbeknown to them, due to work commitments I'd been unable to attend our booked Santa visit elsewhere so this impromptu meeting of the man himself, was that bit more special for us as the parents. Lovely venue with great food and drink but above all that - the staff puts it above other venues. Thanks again!

Second time visiting here, first time we couldn't fault it, food was spot on and service was good. This time we decided to try the pizza and garlic bread.....what to say....AMAZING....my wife and I had a pizza each and a garlic bread to share (little girl had kids battered chicken and chips). Food was delivered in good time, hot and presented nicely. We probably could have got away with one between us but where is the fun in that, both had a distinct taste and every ingredient was fresh. We had a cheese and chilli garlic bread, which I most definitely would recommend, I realise it's not a traditional choice but be brave and treat your taste buds. Atmosphere inside, added to by a quirky decor and warm feel was lovely. Inviting you to explore the menu and drinks on offer (which is vast). It can be busy but we chanced it each time and got a table in the bar area. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. 18-02-25 - the chap working behind the bar around half two deserves a raise, he was very friendly and couldn't do more to help, entertained my young one and seemed to be doing everything as well as running the bar.

The food here was outstanding! Quality and quantity were 20/10. There was 7 of us and all the meals were very well enjoyed, such an interesting and diverse menu to chose from, pizza, traditional mains, Asian style foods, and the meat rack things, and burgers. Super cosy and quirky inside with lots of fairy lights and a blossom tree! I had the cabin chicken burger and cambert sharer, and both were amazing. I was gutted to be full for pudding. We ordered using the app, and it was delivered quickly despite being busy, but be careful we did end up some meals at the wrong time as we didn't do it right on the app. Big car park available, and the toilets were nice and clean and quirky with a rustic theme. Excellent choices of wines and beers, and we didn't have one, but I saw some of the cocktails, and wow, they looked incredible. They were huge and came with sweets, lol

Stopped in for lunch and was our first visit. Really lovely pub / restaurant. We are in the pub area but restaurant looked very nice. Great outdoor area as well which I get is great for a drink / meal in the summer. This place has a terrific atmosphere warm and welcoming. Staff are all helpful and friendly and food brought out promptly. They have a large range of drinks, lagers, ales and ciders and it was nice to try some thing different (IPA I hadn't had before). The menu is different with a lot of choice and while we only had lunch the food was fabulous as was the presentation. We will go back and try them one evening and would recommend a visit.

Have been recommended this by 3 separate people and decided the 30 min drive was worth finding out what the fuss was about. Decoration = beautifully rustic and charming Atmosphere = busy and bustling but still nice and friendly Service = friendly and efficient (didn't have to wait long) Food = AMAZING. Yakitori kebabs were unreal. Pizza was the best my daughter has EVER had. Chicken lollipops were tasty and made of proper pieces of chicken. Portions were great - couldn't have starters of desserts. Cost was well worth it for the quality of the food. Will definitely be coming back.

Loved this place! The Asian fusion menu is amazing. The portions and quality of food is great value for money. The atmosphere is warm and cosy and I love the touch of fur or cherry blossom aesthetics sprinkled around the place. Love it and would highly recommend. I'd also recommend booking a table in advance.

Stopped here for lunch and the food is fantastic. Service with a smile and a really lovely cosy country pub. Parking is very limitednand quite tight so often easier to park on nearby streets, but be mindful of residents driveways. Definitely worth the drive for the food!

Decided to pop in for breakfast.. great service and value although both bacon and sausages were burnt black and the eggs were over cooked and not particularly inviting. We asked for one vegetarian breakfast but they don't do any kind of veggy sausages or bacon and again the eggs were over cooked. Lovely venue but was disappointed in the over cooked items...

I wish I'd been a proper nerdy reviewer and taken photos of our food! It was top quality. We only had starter and dessert, expecting a light bite, super generous portions, we were both stufty mcgrufty....... The guy behind me had a steak dish, and it took up half the table. Quite busy for early Tuesday evening, but still plenty of tables Staff were delightful too, very chirpy and quick to sort out our issues We'll definitely be back to try out the main menu

Peak Edge Hotel and Red Lion Restaurant

Darley Rd, Chesterfield S45 0LW, UK

4.6 (1,490 reviews)

We stayed at the Peak Edge Hotel with a group of friends in a party of eight. It was without doubt the nicest place I have stayed at in a very long time. The interiors are welcoming and warm, the decor is tasteful and well done. The 4 log fires are (on) and tended throughout the day and provide secluded areas ideal for groups and families travelling together. Rooms are modern, well equipped and spotless, we had a (unrequested) upgrade to the feature rooms which was appreciated by all. Food was excellent served in the light and airy Red Lion Restaurant, good quality and generous portions. Fabulous full breakfast. This hotel is family run and it shows. The staff were amazing to a man (and lady). The impression is that they enjoy their jobs and that its a happy place to work. They are a credit to the management. Superb doesn't do it justice!

We have been staying locally at the Cherry Tree Holiday Cottage and have stopped in many times for something to eat or drink in between Exploring the Peak District. We have been very happy with the service and the quality of the food. When we come back up this way we will be sure to stop in again! Us as well as our dog have been made to feel more than welcome by the staff!

A superb place. There were ten of us at dinner and we were all effusive in our praise for the food and the service. The rooms were well-appointed, the beds comfy, the views delightful. Breakfast portions were generous, quickly-served and of high quality. The service was particularly attentive. On selecting the full breakfast without the meat items, I was asked by the waiter (whose name I neglected to ask) whether I was vegetarian, and she asked if I'd prefer veggie sausages instead, which was kind. Great coffee too. I will be staying here again when I have an excuse.

We only live 5 minutes away, but decided to book a suite for the night with breakfast the following morning. The hotel reception looks fantastic and the staff are welcoming and professional. The rooms are amazing, very spacious, and come with a duck quack alarm clock from the small lake outside the balcony window. We had an evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant. Both were exception as always, and the staff are a credit to the business. The open fire in the bar area really does set the tone for this place.

As a family, we've been to the Red Lion restaurant a few times, mostly for special occasions. It's an amazing location, the service is outstanding, the decor and ambience feels luxurious while still relaxed. The staff helpful, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The Christmas decorations were amazing. The food was exquisite and pricey but worth it. While there are a couple of vegetarian dishes on the menu, it would be nice if there were some choices for vegetarians, but that didn't detract from the evening. Once again, we've had a wonderful evening. Thank you.

I stayed for 4 nights over New Year with my daughter and son-in-law and our 4 dogs (2 terriers & 2 Scottish Deerhounds) The staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The beers are "to die for" - do not miss the Plum Porter. The menu is interesting and varied and all of our meals were delicious. Simply it is a fantastic pub to stay in either for a break or as a base for seeing the Peak District. If other Titanic pubs are half this good, I will be visiting each in turn (and I live in S Lanarkshire).

I booked a table for two last night. I'm glad I chose to come to the poets corner it certainly didn't disappoint. I had 8 ounce sirloin steak, chips etc, my partner had the same. We both really enjoyed the meal, the steak was cooked to perfection just how we ordered it. There was a lovely hot fire, nothing was too much trouble for the girl who was waiting on, we were made very welcome. The only thing they could improve on is they need larger plates, which we told the waitress. Me and my partner will definitely be back soon, I can fully recommend this place to anyone.

This is my absolute favourite pub in the world - the atmosphere inside is second to none if you are looking for an authentic local British pub with great ales - its brewery owned now but the brewer is local, the cherry porter is my favourite!!! Also a great gin selection. Lovely fires in winter and good quality pub food. I love it so much here I had my 40th in their function room and the atmosphere was perfect, very oldy worldly and they couldn’t do enough - even cleaned up the next day!!!! Poets forever 🍻

Came for a wake. Great old country pub. Well catered, lovely food but staff are bit absent at times. Probably better on a normal session.

Really enjoyed our visit to this lovely olde world pub in Ashover. We had a choice of 3 in the village and glad we ended up in this one. The decor and atmosphere were excellent, but the food was even better. The three of us all had the burgers and were hoping to have room for dessert - but were so full we couldn't manage one!! A very enjoyable meal and good drinks too. Thank you. 🍔🍔🍔🍔

Brilliant village pub with a fascinating connection to the past. Good selection of beers and friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside and to the frontage outside. The original building has flagstone floors, even incorporating part of a headstone from the church graveyards next door. Sunday roast was one of the best.
