Harden's survey result
Summary
This “old manor house” handy for Chatsworth (and “not to be confused with the Peacock Inn in nearby Bakewell”), may “feel old-fashioned”, but its “great food and interesting menu” (from tasting menus to more “relaxed” options, both taken in the “fine dining room”) make it “a pleasure” by all accounts. Local ingredients (beef and lamb, say) are sourced from the Haddon Estate on which it sits.
Summary
An “old manor house hotel with fabulous food”, in the Peak District National Park close to Chatsworth, that has “a slightly old-fashioned feel – i.e. American tourists would love it”. The dining room can seem on the “formal” side, but dishes are “really excellent”. Top Menu Tip – “dessert, a raspberry financier with an apricot and cream, was bloody lovely – couldn’t be improved”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
