I happened upon this pub on the way into Ashover. It looked perfectly charming from the outside - most inviting on an early spring day.
I had a pint of "Farmers" which I believe is a local brew? Ordered a ribeye steak sandwich at �7. Absolutely superb! Local meat from a local butcer, local baked bread, caramalised onions and Buxton cheese with a fresh side salad garnish, and home-made chutney. Although the pub was quite busy with diners, the meal came within 15 minutes, despite the barman forewarning me that "...we have a number of orders in the pipeline, so there may be a bit of a wait..." He even came out into the carpark to fetch me when my meal was ready, as I had returned to my car to attend to my dogs.
I could not fault it.

Fabulous old pub. Very friendly, in a "WOW" village! The place is so steeped in history, it makes you dizzy. Only been in the summer - when the dogs were made as welcome as i was - but i should like to see it around Christmas - very, very cosy atmosphere. Might get cut off tho' - they have plenty of snow.

Stumbled across this gem whilst driving in the Peaks. What a llocation! Incredible views over the valley, great pint of Unicorn, lovely sandwich (bit pricey, I thought). Cozt pub, great beer garden. See that they do Folk Nights here - worth the drive from Mansfield
Highly recommended
