The Best Restaurants in Brampton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

This is an absolute gem of a little restaurant. The antipasto starter is fantastic and the specials are changed regularly to fit with a theme. All of the food I have tried here is made with some true passion. Wine menu is great and very reasonably priced.

We came in on a Tuesday evening for a family meal and thought it would be quiet because it was mid-week but this place is clearly very popular and rightly so! It’s the first time we’d tried it after hearing great things and we were blown away by the service, quality of food, decor … just everything was lovely. It’s so hard to find places offering authentic and good quality Italian dishes. Everything was so fresh and cooked to perfection. We tried pizzas, the mushroom ravioli and had the BEST Arancini! This place is perfect for occasions, family meals or a romantic date. If anyone asks for a recommendation for an Italian this would be my no.1

What a lovely place to have my Birthday. Everyone was so generally friendly, from entering and to leaving. The atmosphere is brilliant with the Italian background music and the decor. The share starter for 2 outstanding ! So was the baked hooped pasta dish so filling, plus my family had the meatballs and spaghetti and ham pizza. Never felt rushed , and when they found out it's my birthday they brought an icecream with candle and sang to me!! Such lovely owners and amazing food.

A hidden little gem of a place ... We've driven past this place many a times on our way to town - not thinking much of it.. it's a shame we didn't try it sooner! Food: Fantastically tasty food, which was prompt and well presented. On the first visit, there was a substitute on my tagliatelle - but this is because it's all made fresh that day and we arrived one hour before closing. Tried a few different starters/sharing plates, both were beautiful and (as much as I know) tasted authentic. Each following visit has been equally beautiful food. Service: First time, we arrived an hour before closing (cause... Yolo and we were hungry) and they were still very welcoming and accommodating. We still weren't rushed to order out food, even with the time. Everyone was friendly, polite and helpful. On following visits, everyone has been beyond lovely on each visit ... Atmosphere: Decorated with little touches of Sicily - it has a nice ambience for the type of food and cuisine served. It can get a little loud, with the size of the room, but nothing to stop you visiting this beautiful little gem. Would definitely recommend and will continue to return.

We went for a meal after looking at the reviews and were not disappointed. The food is freshly cooked to order and therefore takes a while, so expect to wait a little longer than other restaurants. Beautifully presented and deliciously tasty and most definitely worth the wait though. They also cater for individual palates too, so you can ask for your dish to be tweaked if needed … ie minus garlic! The deserts are incredible … would highly recommend the baklava! We met the owners who were so welcoming and can’t wait to visit again.

We visited here for the second time last night and can’t express just how lovely this place is. On both occasions the food has been absolutely divine, the waitress more than helpful with us and our grandson (even fetching him some pens & paper to play with) and the service has been exceptional. I had the vegetarian mushroom & halloumi, my daughter the pasta and my husband chicken iskender. All were beautiful. We will definitely be continued repeat customers. Thank you

Visited on a Saturday evening and to be honest some Turkish food can be underwhelming relying on spicy heat and over spiced cumin to sell itself, however a trip to Divan changed my outlook on this cuisine. I had the Mixed Grill main with a very hot bowl of chips but everything on the plate was excellent. Even the rice had flavour, and was cooked to perfection. Service excellent throughout. I can see why they were busy. The picture doesn't have the lamb chop on as it was just being finished off. Overall an excellent meal.

Went to Odyssey on Saturday 23/11/24 as a group of four for a special occasion. The food was great, it was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Very clean restaurant and facilities with a lovely atmosphere but above all the service was another level some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. A must visit if in Chesterfield we will be back

If You’re After Authentic Greek Food Locally, this is the best you’re gonna get! I’ve been to Greece and can say that this is very close. The Food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, super cozy and the staff are attentive and welcoming, always ready to help.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Visited early on a Friday night. Service was spot on, waiting time was perfect. Didn't feel slow or too rushed. Greeted warmly and with a complimentary shot of Uzo. Greek music playing in the background and lots of trinkets from the island really help set the tone. The menu is really nicely set out and helped give a real family feel to the restaurant. Had deep fried feta with a jam as a start and my wife had baked aubergine. They're not messing about with portion sizes here. This Yorkshireman was very happy. Both were delicious. Main course, I had the Odyssey mixed grill and my wife had the Greek meatballs. Both were delicious. Mine was again a hefty portion and I left the restaurant feeling full but not uncomfortably so. My oy critique (and not enough to change from a 5* experience) is that the mixed grill was served with a sheet of grease paper underneath which went soggy and could've been mixed into the food. I'd have preferred this without. They have bottles of Mythos available which is nice and was served in a frosted glass. All told, 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 drinks came to just under £80 and was worth every penny. Will absolutely be back and singing from the rafters about it. Can't believe it's took me this long to visit!

Probably one of the best restaurants to enjoy the Greek experience, the food is really nice, staff is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is just amazing. Beautiful place.

Lunch with friends today. Service was excellent. Food excellent. Main course well cooked, lovely and freshly cooked. Nicest dessert I've had in a long time. So nice to get something so tasty. Everyone lovely and friendly. We had a great time and will visit again

Out walking and called in as we were passing. First time visit. From previous experiences elsewhere some golf clubs can be very aloof and unwelcoming. Not so here. Lovely staff and we were made to feel welcome by everyone we saw. The dining area is light, spacious and comfortable. Toilet facilities modern and spotless. Extensive and good value menu. Food was very well cooked and presented. Can highly recommend the club sandwich (if you can manage it all) and creamed mushrooms on toast. We will certainly revisit.

Very pleasant golf club. Nice food and drinks, beautiful location, friendly staff.Nice small shop. 👍😊

I’ve had 2 meals here recently, one with my husband and one with a friend group for a Christmas dinner. Both times the food has been amazing and plentiful. Lovely, friendly staff too. Looking forward to my next visit.

Absolutely love this pub. The new owners have created a wonderful venue to eat and drink and chill. The food is second to none in town, absolutely stunning, they should be on MasterChef. The staff are so friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch today. Beautifully presented, generous portion, cooked to perfection and served by very friendly attentive staff. We had to wait a little while but it was well worth the wait. Highly recommend The Anchor - will definitely return.

The Sunday roast was excellent. It was quiet when we went in at 4pm but that's no issue. Had a pint of Topical Storm which is possibly the best pint I've had this year!

WOW 🤩 Relaxing atmosphere, smiling staff , child friendly, plenty of seating, staff are attentive making sure tables are kept cleaned ready for the next customer. Love the retro decor and staff individuality 👌 Food is delicious and served within a reasonable time frame. Disabled access. Well stocked bar. Reasonable prices. Children seem to have a fun time here. Toy corner .Arts and crafts for children so no worries if you're a parent/grandparents with young children. Extensive menu also suitable for gluten free vegan and vegetarians. You won't be disappointed. Give it a try and you'll be hooked 😅🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

We have breaks in Chesterfield sometimes and we found this place. Realised also one near where we live so I'll certainly try that too! Meals were good every time. We've been here a few times on each break so can recommend the range and quality on the menu, the friendliness of the staff, animal and child friendly with play corners and lots of toys. The clientele in here seems good too so nothing to complain about as they even got us in on Saturday when very busy and the meals were good! Thanks!

It is a nice place to eat for the whole family. It's a bit on the expensive side but a good choice of food, including vegan and gluten-free options. Staff are very approachable (including the chefs), and the music and decor adds to the warm atmosphere.

I’ve been visiting here for the last few years. Service is always 10/10. They are so accommodating. I’ve got 3 little ones and they always make us feel so welcome we are now regulars. Courtney and the team make the place feel so friendly! Toilets are really accessible and clean. Food has massively improved as of late. Love a buttermilk chicken! Highly recommend

I visited for Sunday brunch with my Mum and sisters for my sister's birthday. We were given a very warm, smiley, genuine welcome as soon as we arrived and although we hadn't booked we were taken straight to a table by one of the beautiful picture windows. Our waitress, Christie, introduced herself, took our drinks order , gave us our menus and gave us time to get settled. She also complimented my coat which was very thoughtful. I ordered the 'nojito' a mocktail with ginger, mint and lime which was absolutely delicious. Christie came back and took our food order, I had the small veggie breakfast and my family each had the small breakfast. Christie was happy to accommodate a change to the menu, I requested scrambled eggs instead of fried eggs. It was really nice to see a variety of options on the menu. As I'm veggie I have to choose the vegan option at some restaurants which is fine apart from the fact that I miss out on halloumi! At Bottle and Thyme they have both a veggie and a vegan option which was great. The food was beautifully cooked and well presented. My small veggie breakfast was a veggie sausage, vine tomatoes, scrambled eggs ( by request) on sourdough bread, delicious chestnut mushrooms, handmade rosti, spinach and beans. The beans were thoughtfully presented in a little pot. All parts of my breakfast were tasty and cooked to perfection. The food was light but filling and just the right amount. My family all enjoyed their breakfasts too. I had a pot of green tea afterwards, my Mum had a cappuccino and my sisters had iced coffee and lemonade. We didn't feel at all rushed to finish our drinks and although the restaurant was busy we felt comfortable to take time to enjoy our food. The space is exceptionally well planned. Very light and airy but still feels comfortable and welcoming. Sometimes window seats can be chilly but we were nice and warm even on a cold day. The team were all lovely and made sure we were comfortable and attended to for the duration of our stay. I would highly recommend Bottle and Thyme. We are already planning our next visit and looking forward to trying more of the menu and maybe some cocktails too ( it would be rude not to right?!) Huge Thanks to Christie and the team for making us feel welcome, we'll be back soon.

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

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.

Great pub ,very welcoming ,extremely clean.and most of all the beer is top notch,great condition ,good choice of real ales ,at a very competitive price.

I made a special trip to this pub due to is having flat ciders and OMG Im so glad I did as they had 24 ciders on ! They even have a clipboard with them all listed with tasting notes. Highly recommend this pub if you like flat ciders. Friendly bar staff and also some lovely customers too. The food menu looked good too. Cant wait to return.

Great atmosphere, good variety of real ales and ciders. Excellent service and lovely, friendly staff 👍😀 had a fab day today with Lexi Whiteside singing 🎶 so we stayed for 'just one more' Was a pleasure to see another award handed out to Matt and the team. Well deserved

Great pub. Good atmosphere and good real ales. Only issue is they seem to be over reliant on brampton ale.

Came here yesterday for a Sunday lunch and it was so busy, but the staff were really friendly and attentive and the Sunday lunch came out fairly quickly and was so good, definitely recommend

Difficult to grade The Peacock because lots was 5* but other things were disappointing. It’s possibly a brilliant place to eat and we just were unlucky. Anyone can have an off-day, so I won’t mention the grumpy waitress and will instead say that two of the serving staff were pleasant and friendly. The menu looked great for both carnivores and veggies. I chose the prawn cocktail, which was tasty and well presented. I then had the hot smoked salmon salad. Not sure why it was described as hot, as it was all cold (& not spicy). The salad was pleasant enough, and I had a side order of potatoes which were cooked perfectly. There was too much salmon (in fact the dish was mainly salmon). We also ordered a halloumi burger and fries. This was simply too salty to eat. The fries were COVERED in salt. Maybe there was an accident in the kitchen, or perhaps the chef got distracted and salted them twice. We switched with less salty chips from a different plate. (From someone in our family, in case you’re worried we stole them from an adjoining table.) Chicken wings, sausages and regular burger all good. Pudding a big disappointment. I was keen to try the waffle with strawberries and ice cream. The strawberries were...one strawberry. Just one. It was perfectly ripe, placed decoratively on top, but really? One strawberry is a garnish, not ‘strawberries.’ The ice cream wasn’t vanilla (had assumed it would be). It was salted caramel (they like salt here). Would have been better if that had been mentioned in the menu (or by the waitress). The waffle however was warm and fresh and perfect.

We popped into the peacock after a weekend winter walk around the reservoirs with our dogs. When we came in we weren't sure if dogs were allowed but were told that that we could sit in the bar area which was perfect. With an actual fire and some lovely decor it was really cosy. We decided to just have some drinks and sandwiches. To our pleasant surprise the sandwich and chips were full plates and really tasty. All the staff were very friendly and saw to our orders quickly. Overall we would be very happy to come back and would like to try the evening meals at some point.

The Peacock at Cutthorpe is a lovely pub with amazing views of a countryside field. We already pre-ordered our meals prior to our visit. The food was amazing 👏 as always, and the service was excellent 👌. We arrived 20 mins early to our booking, but we were waiting 15 mins after our booking time. Overall, it was a good visit ☺️

Our first visit and it was a good one. Excellent young staff and first class food (bland of beef for me). And a great wine list which we chose an excellent Greek wine from. The decor was modern and clean - love the fake library wallpaper. Will defo return.

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.

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!
