The Norton, Meadowhead

This pub has recently had a massive refurbishment yet refreshingly the prices seem to have gone down. The food here is incredibly cheap and still excellent quality.
I highly recomend this pub although not on a monday as they seem to be sold out of most stuff from the weekend.

I absolutely love eating here. The staff are so friendly and there is always an inviting atmosphere. The food is fantastic and not overpriced like the nearby highwayman.
There are always plenty of varied specials, I have never had a bad meal in here and doubt I ever will. The vegetable enchiladas are particularly wonderful when on the specials.

The Highwayman, Eastmoor, Chesterfield

We stoped by this pub yesterday as weve always enjoyed it. It is no longer a brewsters and is now overly pretentious in my opinion.
There were only 4 dishes to choose from and none of them sounded particularly appetising. The main problem I had was the price, starting at �14 for a sunday lunch. Whilst money isnt exactly short I cannot justify spending that kind of money when the Wheatsheaf down the road serves excellent food for 2 thirds of the price. We had an overpriced drink and promptly left for the Wheatsheaf.

In summary, very nice interior but restrictive menu and overpriced, I suspect this was reflected in the fact that the pub was almost empty.
