Eyre Arms - Derbyshire Dales

Lovely meal, warm friendly welcome, and roaring fire. Atmospheric country pub with excellent food. Would certainly go again

Had booked in a while ago for New years eve. Went in a couple of days ago to check booking. He said they had a NYE menu and loads booked in. Had taxi booked for 0120. Turned up tonight. Hardly anyone there. No tables made up or anything. Bar staff, jody, really helpful and apologetic. Said no NYE menu and landlord not there. Also pub closing at 11 and noone else coming!! When said taxi at 0120 she offered to take us home. Chef Al came and apologised and booked us in to another pub. Fab service from jody and Al. But appalling from landlord. Really disappointing evening

Booked for New Year. Popped in two days before to check as landlord very slow to answer calls messages or respond, we spoke direct with landlord who assured us all was okay and it would be a good night. Turned up tonight all cancelled. Landlord and Lady gone, left Jody and chef Al to deal with aftermath. Jody and Al absolutely brilliant, got us booked into somewhere else offered to sort taxi etc. Our new year eve ruined by landlord. If asked for my advice I would say drop in but do not book as landlord will let you down.

Booked into the atmospheric old pub for Sunday lunch. We missed the spot by the fire but we're warmed up by the excellent rudolph cocktail. We both ordered the rib of beef roast and were delighted with our choice. Beautiful meat, an array of excellent vegetables and a cracking Yorkshire. A hearty and tasty lunch in a beautiful setting. Definitely a place to return to.

A friend and I popped in for a pint of local Ale and a catch up, the landlord was very chatty and made a real effort to make us feel welcome. I will be back soon to try the food!
