slimsid2000 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I bet a few people here are no starnger to this establishment. It used to be quite posh (well compared to many Sheffield pubs anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimsid2000 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 It sounds familiar, but can't place it:mad: On the main road through Grindleford on the left hand side going into Derbyshire. Large rather Gothic looking building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeBe Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttercup80 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 The downstairs has been refurbished and looks pretty good. I had some bar food there not long ago and was very impressed. Apparently the old chef from the Chequers is there but i could be wrong. I also have it on good authority that the upstairs bit where they have wedding receptions is exactly the same as it was when my boyfriend's parents got married 35 years ago!! Presume it will be next on the list to refurb it though. There is a proper restaurant bit that looked nice, i'd def go back for a meal based on the bar food.

We had our wedding reception there 3 years ago. TBH I preferred it before the modern refurb began. Also the garden has changed; we had the whole garden for photos but now they`ve put a big, high fence down the middle. However, i`ll always have great memories of the place.

waddy Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I went to a wedding there about 4 yrs ago and the gardens were gorgeous it's a shame they have changed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
