Restaurant & bar
With a daily roster of impeccably put-together starters
and mains to a nine-strong 'pub classics' menu, diners can choose
from a wide selection - expect hearty mains and delicious
desserts.
The main challenge for diners is the chargrilled rib of beef for
two, served on a groaning board with béarnaise sauce and all the
trimmings - it's near-legendary round these parts. There's plenty
of Derbyshire beef dishes on the menu, including pies, burgers and
dripping on toasted brioche - a firm favourite - plus local game in
season, fish dish of the day, and excellent lunchtime
sandwiches.
Four real ales including Lincolnshire's own Tom Wood's Best and
brews from Wentworth Brewery in Rotherham, plus craft beers and
lagers from some very surprising places indeed. The chalkboard
cocktail menu is cosmopolitan and seasonal too, from perfect
Manhattans to Bakewell Tart Martinis. Oenophiles are also well
served: 100 bins in the cellar, more than 30 vintages by the glass
and a separate Champagne list - even the choice of Cognacs and
boutique gins runs to double figures.
