Silverblade Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm off with the wife this Friday and we fancy a nice pub lunch on the edge of the city or in Derbyshire. Anyone had a great meal recently? Great if it's in a nice place too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Cricket Inn, Penny Lane, Totley. Good real food (not the pre-prep frozen you usually get) nice views, nice staff, real fires (if it's cold) We like a stroll through the woods round Totley brook whilst we're up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Depends how far you want to travel. Living where I do, I'd class the edge of the city as far as Castleton, beyond probably! May I suggest: Yorkshire Bridge - Ladybower Dam (on the road off the A57 towards Hope and thence, Hathersage); Devonshire Arms - Calver. Magnificent quality and quantity food in a pub which also caters for children. If you don't have kids, fine, there's the no-kids-allowed bar. This pub is situated at the junction with the traffic lights; The Stables Bar at Monsal Dale. Something really different and talk about a range of real ales. Open fires and a superb location for a walk; Nearer to town:- The Fulwood Inn on Fulwood Road. It's seen an amazing improvement in the quality of its food. If you want precise directions I'd be happy to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Do any of those allow dogs, Ousetunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It's a boring answer, but I honestly don't know! I've never seen a dog in the Fulwood Inn. When I've been to the Devonshire, I've always had my girls and have sat in the kiddies side (they love the play barn) and I can only recall seeing dogs with walkers outside the Monsal Head Stables. You'd have to phone in advance. But I hope that wouldn't put you off trying out these places. The beer range in the Monsal Head Stables bar is great. Theakston's Old Peculier etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides - he likes his real ales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblade Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 Thanks for that everyone. I'm fancying the Cricket Inn.....haven't been in there for about 20 years. The wife's been up to the Hardwick Inn a few times recently and enjoyed it. I'll let you know what I thought. Silverblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
