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

An experience to remember. The place is tastefully decorated and well laid out. The staff are great and knowledgeable. The food was amazing and tasted great. Will want to go back if given the chance.

Food was lovely, big portion sizes for the price, drinks also reasonably priced. Food was brought over fairly quickly, but rather slow bringing drinks. It was a busy Friday evening so this wasn't an issue.

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.

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

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.

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.

Went for Sunday lunch. I've been meaning to try it out and wasn't disappointed. I had the beef cheeks (special of the day) which were melt in the mouth. The portions are very generous with a separate boat of gravy to go with the mushroom and ale sauce it came with. The service was top notch and the beer (Thornbridge Jaipur) was just the right pint to go with the meal. My partner had the turkey roast with a glass of red which she really enjoyed. We will visit again. Can't recommend highly enough. I'd suggest phoning in advance since we had the choice of getting there in 10 or waiting until after 3 to eat.

Likely one of the best plant-based burgers I have ever had. Pub atmosphere with fantastic food. Go asap.

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. 🎩

10/10 Sunday Roast. Generous portions of everything - full meat selection (and can combine!), flawless Yorkshire puddings, delicious stuffing, perfect gravy and plenty of sauces. Classic done right!

Amazing pub and inn. We stayed in one of their wonderful cottages for a couple of nights. Very good value and close to local attractions. Food and service is top notch. Would recommend.

We came here for a family Sunday lunch. You are not able to book, but the staff were great at managing the queue and taking our phone number to call when the table was ready. I had the beef burger (happy that they now serve this on Sundays!) It was very good. 2 small patties, plenty of cheese and bacon and served with a good amount of nice crispy fries and a really lovely side salad. My wife had the roast beef which was also good. Plenty of lovely meat and lots of nice veg. Service was great. Even though the staff were rushed off their feet, they were still all really pleasant and friendly. I'm sure we will be back again for a family meal.

Went for a meal earlier and it was bangin ! I'm leaving a review because it's New Year's Day, they were so busy when we got there but they never turn anyone away. We waited around 20 minutes for a table, we got a drink at the bar and my little one was entertained with colouring with the crayons they provided. The staff are always really lovely and helpful. The real treat is the food ! I had the veggie sausages with garlicky mash and onion gravy and roasted carrots. The portion was generous but I also ordered a side of Yorkshire pud and greens which was a good choice, the kale and green beans were so vibrant and fresh and complimented the dish perfectly. My partner had fish and chips, which he said was the best fish and chips he'd had in ages. The fish was flaky and the batter was light and crispy. The curry sauce is recommended but you have to pay a bit extra, but definitely worth it, you could also sub the peas if you're not a fan. Chef kiss *** Thank you and happy new year to you all !

I was on a work trip at The Peacock and the measure of my experience there is that I would go back on a weekend away outside of work in a heartbeat. My accommodation was a stone cottage across the lane from the pub and was idyllic. Everyone who works at The Peacock should be proud of what they do as a team. The service was worthy of a 5* hotel, the food was amazing and their attention to detail was second to none. Just a little thing like them knowing I was from the cottage when I went for dinner and the detail in the accommodation made it worthy of a glowing review. Well done everyone, you smashed it.

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.

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.

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

Stayed here last minute whilst my dad was in hospital so I could get a good meal and a comfy nights sleep. Honestly couldn’t fault the team enough, the room was wonderful, quiet, comfy and had all the amenities you could need. Dinner was delicious as well. The hotel staff were amazing, as I didn’t know whether I was staying the second night, they kept my room ready for me just in case. Will definitely be back, this time with my dog to relax and enjoy the grounds

We stayed in a hive with our 2 dogs also taking advantage of the hibernation package (pizzas, wine and breakfast delivered to your hive). On arrival our luggage and myself were whisked off up the track in a buggy whilst the dogs were walked up - the walk is pleasant but steep in some places. All fine in the dry but I would imagine it getting muddy and maybe slippy in the wet. The hive was well presented including dogs beds, bowls and a toy for each of the boys. There is WiFi with excellent coverage and speed - we saw 250Mb download speeds! Our pizzas arrived on time and were excellent - could not fault them. After a good nights sleep a hamper was delivered to the door with breakfast. All was very good - would recommend

If you're looking for peace and quiet in an idyllic spot, then look no further. The Hive treehouses are gorgeous, the staff are so attentive, the house is beautiful and relaxing, the food is delicious, and the restaurant is just beautiful. The whole place is just perfect. I can not wait to return

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.

We love this place! We had the festive menu and it was SO good! The cocktails were great and the brisket, oh my it was to die for!

Booked for 5pm (only slot available), had hoped for carvery but that stops at 4, staff just clearing as we arrived and it looked amazing! I had liver instead and my pal had pork, both absolutely delicious. Had just enough room for dessert and coffee, really nice creme brulee and bakewell tart. Staff were fantastic, really chatty and friendly and understood my request for a small spoon for my creme brulee 😆 will return and make sure to book well in advance and before 4 so we can try the carvery! Thank you 🤩

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.

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.

Called in for a coffee and light snack. The hallumi fries were incredible and the drinks were also very nice. Definitely recommend. Staff extremely friendly and great atmosphere...

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.

Apparently it can be very busy be prepared for that. I found the £13 very steep for the full English breakfast. Pancakes were nice. Will return.
