The best restaurants in Barlow and Holmesfield North East Derbyshire East Midlands

A proper pub . Pie van outside is well worth it. Yummmy

Stayed here for 4 nights in the Sycamore Cottage which was warm, cosy and presented really well. The food here is excellent, had breakfast here every morning and dinner every night. The Staff are very accommodating, helpful and friendly. It’s really nice to see an Independant business clearly putting in a huge amount of effort to make themselves stand out. I would love to stay here again.

Great selection of beers. Good variety of food available. Friendly staff and large beer garden

Booked this venue for a birthday celebration will never go again. Table was placed next to large glass door which was constantly open meaning we ate our meal with our coats on. Food was average at best. Worst of all was the promised entertainment which they were asked about via several emails without receiving an answer to what the entertainment was. During the evening someone turned up set a deck and speakers up on a dining table put some pre recorded music on never heard him say a word. When asked about the entertainment they used a previously used excuse (the singer didn't turn up) Had a taxi booked for midnight left at 22.00. NEVER again Barlow get your act together .

A proper cosy local pub, not many of these about any more that haven’t been forced into doing food. Perfect place on a sunny day, and a great covered wooden outdoor seating area has been added since the last time I was there. Nice beer selection and crisps, what else do you need?

Great poached eggs on toast really fresh delicious eggs My husband had the little tickler breakfast really enjoyed. This included x2 hash browns, toast, x2 saugages, mushrooms, baked beans, eggs and hit tomato sauce.

On entering we were met by the very friendly staff who took us to our table(booking in advance is a must). I chose the regular Steak, ale and mushroom pie which was served with mash, broccoli and carrots. The gravy I must say was delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. This portion of pie was huge and many guests around me doubted I'd finish it(I did!) I can thoroughly recommend a visit to this cafè with the friendly atmosphere and tasty fayre.

Lovely food and great service in this contemporary furnished village pub. The sunday roast was excellent and I am looking forward to returning.

We visited on November 1st, 2024, and sadly, it was quite a disappointment. While the bar staff did their best, the kitchen service was very underwhelming. By 6:30 PM, they had already run out of the special main menu on the board! The food took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it was subpar. The steak & ale pie was more air than a hot air balloon and hardly had any meat. The crust was burnt and tasted like a heated-up frozen pie. The chips were clearly shop-bought oven chips. This was not the level of service we had experienced before. We left feeling quite disappointed. It seems the place is being sold, and I hope the new owners can bring back some quality!
