The best restaurants in Chatsworth Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

I had visited here last year with a friend when we were staying in Baslow for the Christmas Markets at Chatsworth. We loved our meal so much last year that we booked to come again. So glad we did. Delicious and imaginative food (especially when you're a veggie!). Amazing staff and lovely ambience. Great evening from start to finish. Thanks so much

We booked in for 3 nights from a Monday to a Wednesday on a bed and breakfast basis. We were aware that there would be no evening restaurant service for the first two nights. The location and grounds are beautiful and the front line staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Unfortunately the bed in our room was very uncomfortable - for a lightweight person the mattress was extremely hard with no give in it at all. As a result I had no sleep on the first night and was in a lot of pain by the morning, so much so that we reluctantly decided to end our stay. In accordance with the terms and conditions we were liable for the full cost, which we understood, and we paid without any fuss. However, as there seemed to be no other guests in residence at the time it was clear that our late cancellation had no impact on the ability to re- sell the accommodation to someone else, and I believe that meeting us half way with the costs would have been reasonable in the interests of good customer relations. We were offered another room but obviously the mattress was likely to be the same. I know everyone has different needs and there have been some very favourable reviews but I can only tell of my own experience. Our breakfast was well served and prepared but the choice was limited for a hotel of this standard - there did not seem to be any pastries/croissants on the menu.

Absolutely lovely restaurant, first time we've been and we will certainly be going back. The staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. Thank you!

Nice staff and atmosphere and food was lovely

We have been coming to Edensor for years when visiting the Peak District but this was our first afternoon tea. The soup to start with was a lovely touch. There was a great selection of generously portioned sandwiches, cakes and sweets with a great balance between savoury and sweet. Everything was of a very high standard, fresh and truly delicious.As always the service and atmosphere was fantastic. We thought this was the best afternoon tea we had had and we have had a few including some famous London locations. Excellent value for money. Thankyou for a great experience.

Very well presented hotel, perfect decor, cosy atmosphere, comfy lounge. Delicious lunch.

Charlies food is very consistent. Gorgeous food freshly cooked, made with local ingredients. We went for a celebration lunch the food was exceptional so good we are returning again soon

Remarkably good. Excellent coffee (made properly) taste of the coffee is different to anything you would find around. It actually tastes how you would want a coffee to taste if you were to go out and enjoy one. The breakfasts and cakes look insane and we will deffo be back.

I have lived in Derbyshire all my life and of course, this is a case of ‘what’s on your doorstep’ you hardly ever consider! My friend arranged for myself and another friend to meet up and discuss all things countryside and veer onto other topics, at a rate of 19 to the dozen - as you do when you have not met up for a while. Walking into this little place was like stepping into a storybook … it has an astonishing atmosphere - I felt I was walking into somewhere I’d been before and it was so wonderful and cozy. We ate … the food was gorgeous and I don’t know who has put four ££££ signs at the top, but I can tell you, it’s not expensive whatsoever. I had a lovely posh toastie, with goat’s cheese, sweet pepper, rocket and tomato chutney and it was delicious … certainly filled a gap (was quite tempered with pudding). What was so nice was the fact that the area we were in was really snug and you had no choice but to say ‘Hello’ to those around you … so if you’re a miserable sod, this isn’t the place for you. I blummin loved it and will definitely go again!

Great customer service lovely tea an coffee and old fashioned sweets .allways friendly enjoyed every visit on Sundays 😁👍

Had a fabulous breakfast of high quality and service. Great ambience.

During our recent visit to the restaurant, we had the afternoon tea for three individuals. However, upon arrival, we discovered that we had inadvertently forgotten our vouchers. Despite presenting an email and photographic evidence of the tickets, we were told to pay the full amount and subsequently incur additional expenses for recorded delivery to return the vouchers, thereby seeking a full refund. In comparison to our previous visit, the tea selection this time was significantly less than half. Notably, we were provided with standard white teapots, last time being more decorative, identical to the cups. While these observations may be considered minor, the culinary offerings were exceptional, and we found no aspect of the afternoon tea that we would wish to alter. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that the restaurant has room for improvement in certain areas.

A sunny Sunday and a nice coffee and pastry at the Chatsworth Farm shop reminds you how beautiful Derbyshire often is. The service has been sharpened considerably over the last couple of years and is now friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks are also better value. Happy to once again recommend a visit to anyone living or visiting the area.

We were blown away by the kitchen table experience, a seven course tasting menu served in the kitchen environment. The service was second to none, from our greeting in the lounge, Adam looked after us all evening, with a fantastic knowledge of wine pairings served with each dish. The menu itself was incredible, we loved every single dish, highlights included the beetroot tartare, the halibut and the venison. Being able to watch the chefs work and interact with them made the dishes even more enjoyable as it's clear the team are really passionate about their menu. Thank you Greg, Matt, Charlie, Ewan, Ross and team for creating a magical evening for us, particularly Ewan who is the magician of the culinary world. What a talented team of chefs, thank you for letting us experience a memorable birthday meal. We will happily come back to eat in the restaurant which looked like a lovely atmosphere too.

Stopped of for a quick bite for breakfast before a walk. Both me and my husband had a bacon sandwich which was generously filled on lovely fluffy white bread. Very dog friendly and lovely coffee also. It was a tad pricey but is in a good and convenient location.
