The best restaurants in Stanton Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We love the Shalimar that much. We took our friends over Christmas, it took 1 hour 25 to get there, service, food absolutely FAB U LOUS.

4-plus rating. I had the butterfly chicken, my wife had the cod. She was happy with her meal, I was very happy. The blue cheese sauce on the chicken (and on the side, for the chips) was top-notch. Strongly recommended.

Called in with 2 friends whilst walking for a spot of lunch and a couple of beers. Lovely food great pint of Bass but you never brought me the £5 you owed me in change and I forgot before we left. School boy error. Might have to call again!

Absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing, the ambience, service, surroundings, staff were all incredible. Special thanks to Laura Ball - Front of House Operations Manager whom went above and beyond to accommodate the group of 8 that I was organising. Your patience in accommodating some of the less easier to please members of my party was amazing. You are truly the sole reason I persisted in booking - thank you. Our experience was very well worth the fuss, all 8 of my party were amazed at the quality of everything. 4 of my party stayed with you, myself and another 3 stayed elsewhere. This will become a regular event for us, we all enjoyed it so much!

Amazing food, a wonderful venue and great hospitality. The pheasant was sensational. We will return next time we're in the area. Thanks

We were given a table as far away from the fire as possible. We were so cold that we asked to move. Very basic menu and the food was served on cold plates. The menu used to be much fuller than this. Very disappointing and unlikely that we will return.

I'm very happy with the update. It's very spacious and nicely decorated. Most importantly there isn't just one vegan option, there are a few. Whatever you do, please don't change that. Could do with soy milk and De caf tea though. Nice little cafe for something to eat while out shopping. Will keep using as long as your vegan menu doesn't change.

Visited this evening and they quickly sat us down despite having not made a reservation. The staff were lovely and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The Christmas decorations made it feel exceptionally cosy, especially as we were sat next to the open fire The sea bass and chic pea curry were delicious and the cocktails perfectly made. Will happily visit again! Thanks!

We’ve been here quite a few times for breakfast or just coffee with friends. The food has been uniformly good. Eggs Benedict today was super. Nice runny yolk. Lots of ham which was thick cut and terrific hollondaise sauce. The staff are lovely.
