The Old Bowling Green

My experience at this restaurant for takeout was excellent. The meal was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The process of collecting the food and making payment was easy.

During these difficult times of isolation, it's a great relief to treat yourself every now and then. In honor of Mother's Day, we enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast from the Old Bowling Green, accompanied by a few pints of Moonshine. However, instead of being at the restaurant, we indulged in this feast at our dining table in front of a roaring fire. It was a delightful experience, with our meal beautifully presented on proper plates and a separate pot of gravy. The Yorkshire pudding was a standout. Many thanks to David and the team for providing this wonderful service, which is sure to become another reason to celebrate in our charming village.

My wife, an 85-year-old lady, and I enjoyed a fantastic 3-course meal at this restaurant. There was a wide variety of choices, and the staff even offered a smaller portion to our elderly guest who was concerned about too many vegetables. We declined, as she just wanted plenty of meat, and she ended up finishing her entire meal. It was nice to see the staff paying attention to our conversation. We visited for Sunday lunch and had the roast, which was delicious with tender meat and no tough bits. The desserts were generous in size but surprisingly light, and my ginger sponge was particularly amazing. The pub was well laid out with ample parking, which can often be a challenge in a small Derbyshire village.

After several visits, this pub cannot be faulted. There is a warm (literal and metaphorical) welcome and one is not rushed. After ordering, there is sufficient time to enjoy a drink before the meal is served by local teenagers who are extremely polite and efficient. The beef roast dinner was delicious as usual, as was the dessert. It has to be one of the best Sunday lunches around thank you.

Very friendly and a great pint, closest pub to out cottage , but opening hours could have been better, went to Miners Standard when this pub was closed .
