Best Gastro Pubs in Holymoorside

Visited three days after Christmas Day and received a warm friendly welcome and excellent service for the whole visit . Food well presented and delicious , only critic was the fish really didn’t have much taste (no beer batter taste or seasoning ) and the tartar sauce should be in a separate dish not on the plate , mine has seeped in to the mushy peas and the chips . The lamb and the pie were superb , lots of meat in the pie . The baked Alaska was delicious , a lovely change from the usual desserts . All areas of the place were busy with diners and praise has to be given to all the staff for their high standards in all areas of their hospitality. An added bonus - it’s a dog friendly destination .

Exqusite rib-eye. The host was not very welcoming in seating us but then he got much better as he served us. We left very happy. We very definitely will return!

We had an evening meal booked for Boxing Day and the food was really rather yummy. The whole evening was lovely and the staff were all superb too. Dog friendly and great atmosphere

There was a problem in the kitchen because of staff shortage so front of house were managing the orders going into the kitchen so as not to stress out the chef. What came out of the kitchen was excellent so well done all in keeping everything moving.

A group of 5 of us went for a meal. The service was great, staff very friendly and the food excellent. Good simple food (we all had pie), served hot and we all got our meals together. Good value too.
