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

Went here for our anniversary meal out and it did not disappoint. From the minute we walked in the staff were absolutely outstanding and couldn't do enough for us. They were all extremely friendly, efficient and professional. We had a right laugh with them about something that would take too long to explain, they were brilliant. The food was also exceptional. We had the sticky beef to share to start with, then I had the steak and blue cheese pizza, the wife had the surf and turf pizza and I portion of scoop fries to share, it was all fantastic. Credit to the staff, chefs and management for running a fantastic pub / restaurant.

We had a lovely lunch here. Since they sell themselves as a steakhouse, I thought I should try their fillet steak. It was perfectly tender! Nice recommendations from the staff for the sticky chilli beef as a starter too. A very friendly lady served us.

Best customer service in England so far, never seen such well-mannered young staff working in a restaurant. Staff knew the menu very well, and the suggestions were amazing. The food was delicious and fresh. Portions are quite big. We requested a small candle for a birthday, something that is not on the menu. The waitress came with the cake singing happy birthday. How nice and lovely! Thank you to the management for having such a lovely team and a great chef!

Had a lovely meal recently, good food and and enjoyable evening. Our server was a young lady called Hannah and she was lovely, very knowledgeable about the menu’s and very friendly indeed, well worth a visit and ask to be served by Hannah!

We went today for a girlie lunch which I have been for food and drinks many times and I can say that we received great food and the service was spot on. Hannah T met us and asked if we would like drinks first which we did, then she showed us to our table. Without having to ask she brought us a bottle of water and poured it out. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and the standard of service that we received was exceptional. It’s good to see that the service has in my opinion improved greatly. Thanks as always and of course we will be back.

Absolutely fantastic meal, we booked for Burns night and it exceeded our expectations! The service was brilliant from the moment we walked in, the team couldn't have been more helpful and genuine. The food was outstanding, presented perfectly and the starter that came with a treacle bread roll was perfect! Having the haggis paraded in with bagpipes was the perfect addition to the evening. It was a really great atmosphere and we will absolutely be going again soon. Couldn't fault a thing!

My boyfriend brought me here for the Valentines Day Set Menu tonight and I cannot fault our experience at all. The food was perfect, amazing service and an amazing vibe to the restaurant. Very chilled atmosphere. The set menu was £45 for three courses, sometimes you can go for a meal and feel the food standard was not worth the price, but this was definitely not the case tonight. Definitely returning!

Visited Wednesday 19th July 2023, early evening. Easily one of the best restaurants in the area and one of the best I've eaten at in a long time. Food quality is outstanding, the menu is seasonal; however, there's a sample menu online to get an idea of what's on offer, there's also two options, an a la carte and a fixed price. Vegetarian, vegan and dietary requirements can be catered for. Whilst the food is definitely upper tier the prices are not much more than most other restaurants and represents excellent value for money. The place itself is based around an old country pub with an excellent garden outside providing dining outdoors, they also have a number of cabanas with heating. Service is outstanding; however, it's an informal place so whilst everyone is polite and professional it's also relaxed. Well worth visiting.

Wonderful first visit this evening to this quaint little pub. Wonderful 'proper' pies - hearty portions and there was a lovely young girl who served us - very friendly and attentive. Children enjoyed their food too. Typical hearty home cooked food 👌

We went here for mine and my partners 4 year anniversary meal, what she didn't know was that it was also a proposal meal too!! She said yes!! I rung up prior to us coming to make special arrangements to make the moment even more special and the staff here really did just that!! Sat us infront of a Christmas tree and played our song alongside at my request. Once she said yes the staff provided us with a complementary bottle of bubbly and a congratulations card which was so nice of them to do that! The food itself was absolutely amazing! My partner had the venison and red wine pie, which she said was the best she's ever had! I had the 9oz burger which was thick and juicy. The caramelised onions were to die for too! And don't even get me started on their home cooked chips!! The atmosphere was really nice! Seeing as it was bad weather that day the whole pub felt warm and welcoming! It was refreshing to go into a proper tradition pub that has an open fire and the dark wood furnishings to match! All of the history of the pub in picture as you walk in was nice to see too! My only improvement which does not at all ruin the experience at all was the toilets, they need abit of tlc. Overall I couldn't thank the staff enough for making our special meal even that little bit more! Will definitely be coming back in the future and would highly recommend for anyone!!

A genuinely lovely country pub, so much character and a charming atmosphere. If you can get one of the armchairs by the fire on a winter's evening it's amazing. The food is excellent, it's known for its pie menu but it's all good. I recommend the venison and red wine pie particularly.

Great food served by friendly and helpful staff. We prebooked a table for a Friday evening as it is known to be busy, we were welcomed with a smile, served our drinks and shown to our table. When we ordered the service was quick and efficient. The waitress then returned to confirm if we were satisfied and later returned to offer us the desserts menu. Only slight issue was that the bar was crowded by drinkers when it came to paying the bill. We will definitely be back again soon.

Stopped here for lunch today. Easy parking. Very welcoming young woman behind the bar told us fine to bring in the dog and gave us a table near the fire. I had a braised beef balti (£14.95 ) which was very pleasant and more than I could eat. My wife had a ‘small’ lasagne which was quite a good size, which she enjoyed (£8.95). Good inexpensive pub food. Excellent and fast service to table. Very decent coffee to follow. Really good clean loos as well. When we left we took a short walk along the river from the car park. All good. Recommended!

Have just had a week there. Staff are lovely, rooms comfortable and not noisy for room above a pub. Food is incredible, reasonably priced, fabulous quality and very generous portions. Good parking, nice atmosphere. Really nice breakfast too. Would very highly recommend. Thank you!

Went for Boxing Day carvery and it was amazing! The dining room looked gorgeous and had a beautiful big tree. The food was so delicious and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. We had never been out for a Boxing Day dinner before and we are so glad we picked the Oak. Cannot fault and will definitely be booking up for next year. Thankyou to all the staff for working on Boxing Day and making it fantastic for everyone who went there.

me and my boyfriend just finished a 12k hike and wanted a bite to eat and a pint, the Sunday roast was to die for! The service was quick but everything was homemade and amazing, definitely worth it!

We had a lovely stay here. It is situated in an ideal location for walking in the peak district in nicer weather, visiting Chatsworth House, or nearby market towns Ashbourne & Bakewell. The staff were friendly & attentive and the food was excellent. The Sunday roast was huge & the best that we had for a long time. We wish all the best to Alison & Paul, who have recently taken over managing the place, we look forward to a return visit sometime soon. Thank you all.

I booked a table here to meet family as a half way meet up point for my Sons 10th bday. When we arrived they had put up a birthday banner and decorated the table and we also had a separate area which was so thoughtful. The service was excellent and so was the food. My Son has the best time as did the rest of the family! We will definitely be returning as a half way meet up point more frequently. Thank you to all the staff 🩵

Not too far from home, but needed a break and food. Passed by this hotel many times but never been in, what a nice place. I couldn't face a full meal, but your young chap behind the bar arranged a simple JP, with trimmings. Quick, nicely presented, well cooked. A popular spot! Will call again. Thank you.

A positively faultless experience, easily one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. Super lovely staff, immaculate rooms with romantic flair, one of the most comfy beds we've ever slept on! Courtyard access from the bedroom on the ground floor was delightful (and under-advertised - it was a very pleasant surprise!), room was super toasty and warm (but not stifling). Food was Michelin-star level good, and we felt spoilt for choice despite being vegan - easily one of the best meals out we've had over many years. All the theming and decor is stunning, so much thought and care put into making the place a perfect blend of modern/rustic. Can't recommend enough, the perfect domestic luxury break. Thank you so much for a perfect time.

I visited The Cow on Sunday for a roast with a couple of friends. I have a severe peanut allergy and found out on arrival that there were peanuts present in the kitchen, in the nut roast. One lady in particular was amazing and so kind, I think she might have been the manager. She spoke to the kitchen and gave me really detailed information on where food was prepped and which option would be safest. She then carried my food out herself and gave me my own portion of vegetables. I felt really at ease, thank you! ❤️ The food was delicious too! 😊

The best Sunday lunch we’ve had in years. 8 of us really enjoyed the warm and inviting atmosphere at The Cow. It’s exactly what quality English pubs should be like. A credit to the management and team. Thank you.

This is an old country pub with excellent rooms. Quaint with quality modern fit-out. Nice selection of beers and reasonably priced wine. However, the food is absolutely top-notch. Friendly service caps it off. 5 Stars!

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!

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.

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.

Great location and very accommodating staff. All were brilliant with our 5yr old. Breakfast is great and an excellent array of beverages both alcoholic and non at the bar. We didn't eat at the restaurant but upon returning it was packed out, so this speaks for itself. Just a short drive to Alton Towers, so it was perfect for our stay. We will definitely look to book here again when we return
