The Rock, Chiddingstone Hoath

Thank goodness Dick has finally gone - the new Landlords Matt & Laura are doing there best to redress the damage. Have just returned from a wonderful roast Sunday lunch washed down with a great pint of Rock Doom Bar Bitter and house Shiraz. Also offer a range of Larkins beers that won't disappoint.
Support this place - it's a classic English Pub in the middle of no-where that could all too easily be lost if you don't visit. I will!

The Boat House, Matlock

Went here for an early dinner - came out very full & satisfied. �4.95 for a huge piece of homemade pie & all the trimmings was excellent value - best chips I've tasted in years. Beer OK, so I've no complaints.
Don't be put off by the location - on the A6 just out of Matlock - until this year, I thought it was part of the quarry. Good honest boozer.

Red Lion, Birchover

Went here for a mid week evening meal with friends - excellent food - lots of it and good quality. Cost �90 for the 4 of us - drinks, coffee & 2 courses which was good value. Very attentive & friendly service. If you want a pub that does good food in this area, this is the place to go.
