The Shire Horse - Derbyshire Dales

My wife and I came across this pub by accident after taking a wrong turn whilst visiting a few local villages and decided to go in simply to have a drink. What a little gem this place is. We were made to feel very welcome by the lady who served us drinks. Whilst we did not order any food we did observe lots of meals being brought out of the kitchen all of which looked very nice indeed. We had a look at the menu and it looked very extensive and the prices seemed quite reasonable. As we do not live in the area it is hard to say if we will ever go back but after our very pleasant experience I may look to visit again whenever the opportunity arises. Highly recommended.

Great traditional country pub, stunning views, great garden. I had the salmon fishcakes, hubby had local sausages. Both meals were lovely. Very friendly staff, would highly recommend

My partner and I stopped off here for lunch today with our dog after having read good reviews. It was good to see lots of locals having meals, normally a good sign. We chose to sit outside under an umbrella as there was a pleasant breeze, despite the heat of the day. I decided on the seafood linguine and my partner chose the pan fried sea bass. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, I was particularly impressed with the amount of salmon, scallops and king prawns within the dish and the sauce had a lovely spicy flavour, something different from your average pub grub. Having enjoyed both our meals my partner indulged in a honeycomb cheesecake with clotted cream, a very tasty and well presented dessert. Staff were welcoming and pleasant, overall a good choice of pub whilst visiting in the area.

Really efficient friendly service, good home-cooked food and great value for money. We dropped in for z mid-week meal and had a really pleasant evening.

We called in with our campervan and 3 noisy dogs for a quick early meal after visiting The Old Manor (National Trust) in Norbury. What a delight: really accommodating friendly staff who brought our vegetarian meals out to us in the van. Food was excellent. Would definitely call in there again. It is dog friendly (but our dogs aren’t pub friendly). Lovely old pub with large car park and lovely views over the countryside the chimneys are interesting.
