  • "Nice food and drinks, the chicken kebabs were succulent and seasoned well."
  • "Excellent food, great menu with a wide choice."

Cons:

  • "The mains were ok. I think next time I'd rather order lots of little starters instead of one big main, I just thought the starters were more flavourful."
  • "Beef stroganoff turned up cold (moments before the table next to us sent 2 out of 3 meals back because they were cold)."
  • "The menu has changed significantly and not for the better, not only in choice but apparant quality."
  • "The flatbread was soggy and the lamb could have been anything as was completely devoid of flavour."
  • "The food was really poor. Everything was under cooked. The gravy was like water."
  • "Unfortunately the menu has changed significantly and not for the better, not only in choice but apparant quality."
  • "Very poor minute steak sandwich, very poor customer service. Minute steak tough as old boots, couldn't even cut it with knife let alone chew it."
  • "Overpriced meal (artichoke hearts and halloumi hanging kebab,) at 14 pounds this was very disappointing."

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

  • "Cosy little place with a nice atmosphere, the staff were lovely, the cocktails were fun!"
  • "A lovely pub with excellent food. Beautiful building."
  • "Through the entrance door it's a bar area to the left, restaurant seating to the right, the decor was dark with its traditional style wooden beams & panels."
  • "Nice atmosphere, good food however very slow service our 2 year old grandchildren were very restless after 45 minutes of waiting for starter 30 minutes after for main same for pudding."
  • "Beautiful trendy pub, the food is lovely and so are the cocktails too!"
  • "A nice cosy place, which not so long ago had a makeover.."
  • "Lovely local quaint pub. Gin choice is very good and they give fruit."
  • "This is the best place to eat in Dronfield, hands down! From the traditional yet quirky decor to the delicious food with a gourmet twist."

Cons:

  • "I found the atmosphere to be very noisy as it was very very busy as every inch of floor space in different areas had been taken up by mostly large tables."
  • "It was a Friday night so quite busy. Mostly a young crowd. A young girl spilled drinks down my partner's back and coat."
  • "Never been the same since opened after it was first closed... Overrated but OK for a swift one unless you are wanting a coffee which wich usually takes about 20 minutes to arrive."
  • "Lovely pub covid correct went in for 2nd time sat at table and couldn't get served unless using table code which only worked with WiFi which I didn't have so left with no drink."
