We celebrated birthday here in Casa Nostra. The starter with scallop and prawn is really amazing! We enjoyed a lot with the funny staff and their humor! Good vibe for birthday, anniversary and whatever you think important to your life! Highly recommended.

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere. Went there to celebrate my friend's 50th birthday. From starters to mains to desserts, all the food was on point for everyone. There was a board with special s of the day which also had fabulous items. Definitely worth checking out if one is in Sutton

The staff are friendly and warm. One shared with me how to take care of his cuddly teddy when he saw my rabbit. Please remember to see if any daily special. We are so lucky to have mango, avocado with crab and prawns. The fresh sweet mangoes are from their garden! Also, don’t miss their desserts! Thank you for the lovely lunch today xx

We were very impressed by the exceptional food quality from their kitchen. Staff were super friendly and passionate to serve and customers are immersed in its vibrant atmosphere. Food all came in much bigger portion than expected, for instance there were 3 scallops and prawns respectively in the appetizer, and seafood risotto contained generous mussels, prawns and risotto rice. Pepperoni Pizza was hugely stuffed and cheese-loaded very delicious! All in all a very reasonable priced restaurant in its best quality. Will re-visit if ever in the community again!

Wonderful, lovely, and charming staff. Spectacular Indian cuisine paired with really good traditional pub food. Excellent wine list with some really interesting choices for those who like to try something new. We came for lunch and it was good we booked for dinner as well.

Came for food. Super dog friendly (even have a doggie menu!) and incredibly welcoming. Food and service second to none! Burgers were perfect and the pie was absolutely wonderful. No complaints at all! Already looking to come back in summer!

We stayed for a quick getaway and loved it, we had a friendly welcome at check in, the room was clean and cosy. This is a very dog friendly place, with a doggy menu. The food was lovely and the service was top notch, one guy even offered to carry our drinks to the beer garden while he was outside before his shift started. Perfect location to explore the surrounding area and a fantastic walk to dovedale right on the doorstep. Perfect!! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️ 🐾

Been here a couple of times now and the food, service, and atmosphere have been excellent! Really impressive food for the price point - definitely higher end than your average gastropub. They can get quite busy at wkends but the service was just as friendly and professional as when we went mid week. Doggy friendly too which is always a plus 🐶 My only minor gripe was that the cheesecake was a bit of a miss - overly set and with a soggy bottom - but every other dish we've had there has been bang on. Will definitely be back!

A lovely country pub, in a gorgeous little village, good wine and coffee. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Clean, stylish and comfortable bedroom for an overnight stay.

Me and my wife travelled from Ironbridge Shropshire up to see one of The National Trust places in the area.Calke Abbey. Because we had nearly a two hour drive home, we decided to call into one of the local pubs in the town of Repton. First impression was there was limited parking, so we parked a few streets away in a public car park. But upon entering the pub we realised this was a busy food pub .And, the bar person said they had no availability in the restaurant .But we were able to dine in the bar. We were impressed with the menu. I had the panfried fish, and my wife had the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with all the vegetables. We can say this was fine dining without it being protentous. Our meals were cooked to perfection. We had dessert too and again they were excellent. We did not stay here in one of the rooms .However, if we are ever up in that part of the world again ,we will definitely call in again.

7 of us had a birthday meal for my daughter. Amazing service food too. Wonderful area we was sat so we could enjoy our chats away from everyone. Our waiter was brilliant he took her birthday cake away to light up and bought back in on a big board plates forks napkins and knife too. We left him a tip. Definitely returning. Thank again!

It was really lovely, we celebrated my daughter’s 24th birthday. The service was perfect, communication was brilliant. There was a very long wait for food. The food was amazing.

Nice looking venue, nice atmosphere, quite pricey for a family meal out. Fish was a nice thick white piece with the fish and chips well cooked. Steak on several meals was cooked nice med/rare, nice flavour but lots of grissle

Great country pub. Went their first Sunday lunch. Food and service was excellent. Had the Pork roast which was delicious and the roasties were amazing. Treacle pudding was light fluffy and tasty. Decent pint of Guinness too which was creamy with strong coffee overtones and a hint of chocolate. Just a shame about noisy children but that’s not the pub’s fault. Would definitely go again

Had a wonderful anniversary meal at this very quiet hidden pub. Would highly recommend if you’re near the Peak District area. I would recommend the sausages that they been making themselves since 2009. The chef clearly understands flavours as well, as can be seen through the bao buns we ordered for starters. Service was spot on and they were friendly and welcoming staff.

We sat in the bar area with a drink on arrival, our order was taken whilst enjoying the drinks. We were taken through after about 20 minutes. We ordered a bottle of Semillion to go with the food and water was brought to the table, only cristism would be make sure the glasses are cold!! The food was hot, nice big portions and very tasty. Our waitress Lydia was very nice and helpful.

Fantastic first experience. Great food at a reasonable price. Will definitely be back. Thanks. Only thing that annoyed me was cash for a tip, but will be back

We really enjoyed our visit to the Bluebell! I'd seen a photo of the steak frites online and felt like I had to go and try them! I was not disappointed - we both really enjoyed our mains, and the puddings were incredible too. I'd definitely recommend visiting if you're nearby.

Beautiful food, good service, lovely setting. Both the whitebait starter and beef bourguignon pictured were gluten free and delicious!

I’ve driven past here many times and still meaning to go we finally went yesterday and the food did not disappoint. The flavours and taste was very nice. Was really impressed with starters and mains. Children menu was also very nice soup was a little on the peppery side for kids but was nice. The espresso martini was nice and the outdoor seating which we didn’t get to use was quite unique and a nice touch will try it out next time. Will definitely be visiting again as it’s so close and location was great.

Quite possibly the best Pizza I've had in my life!! Food is incredible and the customer service is really good, will definitely be back again soon.

Just had a lovely 4 night Christmas break at The Boar's Head Hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable and so friendly at this special family run pub/hotel. Tasty home cooked food and plenty of it. Rooms serviced every day, even Christmas Day. All the staff were cheerful, friendly and helpful. I've been for a pub lunch several times throughout the year and never been disappointed. Highly recommend it!

We booked here for the ease of location for the Uttoxeter race day. It has a very family-friendly atmosphere, with excellent customer service. The restaurant's food and pricing were of good value and excellently cooked. All the staff were very helpful and welcoming.

Lovely big clean room. Very friendly staff. Food good too. Location OK but couldn't find walks from pub as hoped so had to drive to different location. Would return though.

What a lovely breakfast. The wife treated me to a champagne breakfast as part of my birthday celebrations. The food was superb, great portions too. The waiting staff were superb and I think it must have been the manager/supervisor who was wonderful and in chatting she found out it was my birthday and decided to do something special for me which you can see in the pictures provided. Fantastic morning, we'll be back for sure.

Had a lovely meal at The Dragon the food was good quality. It had a lovely atmosphere full of friendly staff and customers. It is also dog friendly which worked really well for us. Jess our dog enjoyed all the attention she got. She was given her own bowl of water and there were dog biscuits on the bar too.

A really great place right by the canal side and lots of outdoor seating. Super clean and tidy with lots of choice both on the menu and range of drinks available - lots of parking available and disabled access ok. Dog friendly in the covered outside patio area but no smiling / vaping there

The Dragon is my local watering hole but I’ve never had breakfast here so thought I’d give it a try. Definitely did not disappoint! I had the full English breakfast that came with Butcher's country sausage, bacon, black pudding, hash browns, baked beans, tomato, field mushroom, free range eggs, served with a choice of granary or white farmhouse toast and my partner had the Bacon Maple Pancakes with a couple of hash browns on the side. We both also had a latte, freshly squeezed Orange juice and a smoothie (Blueberry flax) to go along with it. Overall great experience here at the Dragon and will definitely come back again for another breakfast.

We booked a family birthday celebration meal for 15 people. We booked last minute as we couldn't find anywhere to go for food and have had lovely meals in the past here. We were very impressed at how organised they were when it came to getting all of us seated within the establishment. After ordering our food there was a slight delay but with the amount of guests and how busy it was we expected to wait a little while. The staff were lovely and friendly and our food arrived piping hot for every guest. We will definitely be back for more meals in the future.

Always a very warm welcome by all the team who work tirelessly to please. The food is always consistently good,’along with an excellent choice of real ales, even more so recently, after a request to add Proper Job as one of the regular beers, which is extremely popular with many of the locals. Also pleased to see the fire in the bar area has now been fixed which is great to see, an encouragement to stay longer in a very pleasant atmosphere.

So ...we dropped in for the first time today. The welcome from both Jackie and Regan was amazing. The care over my allergy (gluten) was second to none...hence this was a fantastic first visit and hopefully one of many to come. Maggie May loved it too..🐾🐾

A very good carvery at a very reasonable price. Ample vegetables to accompany. We have paid several visits over the years since it opened and never been disappointed. A good selection is also available on the main menu. A Weekday visit, we have found is more to our liking as not too busy. The tables are slightly more crowded in the main dining area makes it slightly less enjoyable when completely packed. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. There are QR Codes on the table where you can add an app to your phone and with your table number order your food. However, mobile signals are often weak at this location, making difficult. It wasn’t a problem as you can still order old school by going to the counter. Customer service has always been the best.

One of the best, most reasonable places around. The staff are such friendly people, and the atmosphere is good. Definitely worth a visit. We always leave full and ridiculously happy.

Visited today as a spur of the moment treat. Managed to get a table despite not booking & it being very busy. Fantastic service & great selection as always. Even grabbed a cake to go as we were far too full from lunch.
