"we enjoyed another very pleasant dinner at the Dog’ in pentrich recently. it is a very civilized but relaxed escaping area, and the type of place where people are miles for, for the culinary experience traveling and with good ground. eating is good. the dining room is spacious, contemporary and beautifully furnished with a relaxed ambiente. also the adjacent bar area is very cozy and cozy. we were warmly welcomed and immediately shown on our table. the service was attentive and pleasant, without being overlaid or intrusive. our meals were very pleasant and we enjoyed the selection of things we had (start, head and dessert). However, it seemed to be some unconsistencies with a portion size. with the appetizers the leek and the potato portion was very small a piece laek about two centimeters long filled with cheese and in a sea of sauce to convey the grasp of “more”. the crispy szechuan cauliflower and aubergine, on the other hand, contained large parts of the two components of the teller. similar to the net, the green thai chicken contained three very large portions of huh in different shapes: a large chicken breast as the main component of the Thai chicken shell, accompanied by a huge serving of shredded chicken in rice, and a huge Bao beer filled with a large piece of baked chicken. while the various components were delicious, it was just chicken overload, almost like three main dishes as one, and much too much. the same applies to the puddings we have chosen. the dog inn trifle was a huge bowl with lemon-rossel sponge, with white chocolate-creuzard, and celestial gel and sorbet. the yorkshire rhubarb cheesecake, on the other hand, was a very small roll of cheesecake with a puppy game of rhubarb sorbet and a few pieces of poached rhubarb. our meals were certainly delicious, and we enjoyed them. the hanger steak was cooked nicely after a discussion about it; it was clearly stated on the menu that the hanger steak was ‘Served ‘Pink or well Done’, but we were informed that it could not be ordered well. which condition is then on the menu? the dog is worth looking. it is in the beautiful and historical village pentrich, on the b1016 between the towns ripley and alfreton in derbyshire. we're coming back."

"Just wanted to say what a lovely meal we had at The Greyhound Belper on Saturday! Our starters were delicious and perfectly sized. The mains were just as lovely. The thing that impressed me most was the child 's fish and chips that I ordered for my 1 year old (she eats loads! . It was a proper meal just smaller. No fobbing us off with processed rubbish just cos kids don 't appreciate good food it was proper home cooked chips and battered fish with juicy peas. Decent price and sized kids meal! The beer was also good. The dessert was a proper homemade cheesecake. Overall massively impressed!"

"I had a wonderful meal here with my family, which included a total of nine people, along with a small child. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived until the end of our meal. The food was served quickly, piping hot, and all at once. The portions were generous and satisfying. We also enjoyed a beautifully presented dessert that was a good size. My partner had the squash pudding, which came with plenty of crispy toppings—definitely not a tiny portion! Overall, it was excellent value for money. I was genuinely impressed and will definitely return."

"I was uncertain about what to anticipate, as I didn't have any recommendations for The Spanker. But if I had to sum it up in a single word, it would have to be excellent. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, there was nothing to complain about. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The prices are competitive compared to other restaurants, and the food was plentiful and delicious. The dishes were cooked and presented beautifully, with the pastry on my pie practically melting in my mouth. The restaurant was very clean in all areas, and there was ample parking available."

"WOW WOW WOW!!!! What an amazing place, such a hidden gem in the lovely town of Swanwick! The Pantry is really quirky and has such a homely feel with a lovely welcoming family who own the place. I attended one of the new bistro evenings the pantry have started to hold on Thursday evenings. From what I gather they offer different themed evenings such as Italian and Steak etc. I have been to the last steak night and all I can say is YUM and a big congrats to the chef! There are not many places where the chef actually comes out of the kitchen to ask everyone on a personal basis if they are enjoying their meal. With little candles on the tables its a perfect place to have an evening with your partner! Dont hesitate to get booked in...mind you, you could be waiting a while as they are fully booked until Feb that's how popular this evening night is! I have also been for the afternoon tea here so if you cant get in for the bistro and you want to go over the xmas break as a treat the afternoon teas are just as good. Claire and her family will make anyone feel at home and ensure everyone has a thoroughly good time! xx"
