Had a wonderful dinner date. Fried calamari was amazing. Fettuccine was fresh and delicious. Steak wasn't the best quality but was OK. It was a wonderful place outside the restaurant as well with plenty of parking, vegetable garden. Overall, it was a wonderful evening

I was kindly invited to try their Pie Tuesday (Pie & Half a pint for £13) and it was lovely. We were warmly welcomed and showed to our table in the beautiful dining area which had subtle autumnal décor and felt cosy. The food we enjoyed was beautiful and well worth the 40 minutes drive for us. The Pie menu is concise offering a meat, fish or vegetable pie each coming with potatoes, and half a pint of a Thornbridge beer. There is a small selection of vegetables you can add at an extra cost also. The full menu is still available Tuesdays, but we just decided to go all in and stick to the pies. We enjoyed; Beef Shin & Potato Thornbridge Ale Pie with roast potatoes – proper chunks of juicy beef, a rich casing of pastry and lots of gravy. The roasties were crispy too – a really good dish and filling as it is. Fisherman’s Pie with salmon, haddock, tuna, monkfish, cod, cheddar mash & buttered greens – so many chunks of tasty fish, the mash was gorgeous and smooth and the greens were paired well with the dish so it wasn’t too rich. Halves of Jaipur – one of our favourites Thornbridge beers. Side of Roast Mushrooms & Carrots – a nice addition and my only feedback is that we thought for one carrot and one flat cap mushroom, the price didn’t reflect the side dish well compared to how generously priced the deal was. Everything we ate was delicious and it was clear that quality ingredients were used and that the food is made with passion here. The selection of pie flavours is fairly limited. Understandably the chef wants to focus on the quality of deliverance by keeping this concise, however I hope the flavour selection expands over time should Pie Tuesdays be a hit, which we feel it will! A great meal and evening here.

Former favourite but not been for a while. Turned up without booking at noon on Sunday but there was plenty of space and we were served quickly. Went for the beef shin & potato pie and was relieved to see a proper pie (with sides) arrive. This was up there with best pies I’ve ever had and clearly a lot of effort goes into the food. With more gravy and seasoning we could have been looking a one of the best pie dishes around but still - this was top quality. The side order of cauliflower cheese was also excellent. Beer was a quaffable bitter by nearby Thornbridge brewery in Bakewell. This place has been knocking out quality food for years now and is well worth a trip out to. A walk around nearby Blackamoor Nature Reserve is also a must.

So disappointing to write this, I used to absolutely love it here but it's really changed over the years. This photo is a vegetarian Sunday roast and it just wasn't good enough. They did come over and tell us that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings but said they would give us a little something extra. I'm not sure what the extra was. The roast veg was very tough and tasted stale. The staff were very friendly as always but the food quantity/quality for the price was way off today.

This is a pub to stop by if in the area. We had a family meal out which was good. The main feature here is the cricket field, particularly nice when the weather is good. The only advice from me here is to book your table in advance! No photos of the outside area this time as we were sitting inside, which is equally pleasant. Will come back!

Always a favourite for Sunday Dinner! Great size portions and quality of food. The sides are too tempting but beware.. there is a lot of food! Pies are great - they do a pie deal on a Tuesday evening, pie and a drink for £13 which is great value for a cheap mid week eat. Can’t beat sitting out the back on a sunny day overlooking the cricket pitch with a pint of Thornbridge Lukas! Make sure you book!

Updated August 2018: the food at the cricket inn never ceases to amaze us. The specials are unbelievable, we recently had the scallops and pork belly starter (see photo) which is some of the best the party had ever had! We can’t recommend the Cricket Inn enough. Updated January 2018: we have recently been with family and friends on multiple occasions, and each time the food has been unbeatable. True luxury in taste and presentation, with a whole range of new dishes keeping everyone on their toes with excitement. Definitely the best restaurant that we’ve been to this side of Sheffield. 2017: Wonderful food, with a great atmosphere. The specials are really awesome, so get down early to avoid missing out! It's also in a really beautiful location.
