One of my favourite tasting menu experiences. The food was fun ! All perfectly cooked with ideal portion sizes. Loved our Christmas themed meal, the atmosphere and service was spot on. Staff were friendly and helpful without being over bearing. We liked small touches like a copy of the menu left on the table. Would 100% recommend even if your not totally into tasting menus you'll love this place !

Dinner Managed to get a last-minute table for dinner. It's so popular and booked up way in advance. Don't know why we are telling people about here as it's hard enough to get in as it is. It would be easier to get a booking at a three ⭐️⭐️⭐️Michelin restaurant. Here's why it's so popular. Chef/ Owner George Bloor was named Best Chef in Derbyshire at the young age of 21. Now, having over ten years of experience cooking in Michelin, awarded kitchens around the country. Set up his first solo venture last year. This was our second visit, and it was just as good as the first time. From start to finish, the dishes were beautifully presented with a little bit of theatre too. The staff are young and well versed on the dishes they serve to the table. It's an absolutely stunning menu that changes with the seasons.

First of all, The Service 3 waitress probably the best service I’ve had in 18 months. Greeting at the door, Happy faces and really attentive. 10/10 for that as it’s not always easy to get people in a rural setting that are as subscribed as the staff here. Secondly the food. 10 course menu all perfectly sized and beautiful complex flavours. Could not complain about any of the dishes but the desserts were the stand out courses for all four of us. Followed by Really Really Good Coffee. Just over £300 for 4 people. One glass of wine and 6/8 soft drinks, Well worth it. The decor is fine but some better surroundings would better suit this level of catering and service, but to be fair they have only been at it 8 months at this location and you can’t get a table for 3 months so the beginning of successful future I think… Will be back

I run out of superlatives for this place! It is exceptional. This menu yet again delivered exquisite food, beautifully served in perfect low-key and friendly surroundings. Every time we come we say it’s the best ever and indeed it was said again last night! This Chef is unbelievably good. We will return!

Dinner The Tasting Club By George Bloor We've been trying to get in here since they opened in April this year. It would be easier to win the lottery. We thought we had won when we managed to get a last minute table. Here's why its so popular. Chef/ Owner George Bloor was named Best Chef in Derbyshire at the young age of 21. Now having over ten years of experience cooking in Michelin awarded kitchens around the country, he left his post at previous “Derbyshire Restaurant of the Year” The Lighthouse Restaurant, to set up his first solo venture. The Tasting Club Snacks 1 crispy pork belly + stuffing nugget with cranberry gel 2 roast turkey soup/ crispy skin/ crunchy sprouts/ bacon & chestnut 3 Smoking cauliflower cheese & English truffle tart 4 Not another prawn cocktail N’duja glazed BBQ Argentinian Red Shrimp lettuce/ chorizo/ Marie Rose / preseved lemon/ pil-pil croutons 5 Wild Row Deer Lasange 24 hour sticky râgú with tomato roasted squash + creamy herb bechamel textures of Parmesan 6 Coal for Christmas Derbyshire aged beef fillet in charcoal crispy onions + baby leeks bone sauce with chive oil 7 Gingerbread man milk chocolate parfait/ eggnog mousse/ hazelnut ice cream/ honeycomb 8+9 Look it's snowing coconut ~ passion ~ cheesecake ~ blood orange From start to finish the dishes were beautifully presented and the taste sensations just kept on getting better as each course was served. The succulent Prawns in the starter😋 And the lasagne, dare we say "the best we have ever had". The staff are young and well versed on the dishes they serve to the table. An absolutely stunning menu which changes with the seasons. As good as any Michelin starred restaurant we have been to, if not better. Another visit just as good👍
