Die besten Gastro-pubs in Matlock

We come to Bowdon from London every few months and we make a trip to The Stamford every time we’re there for a family lunch / dinner. The food is exceptional, really very good and super fresh (especially the roast). The staff are always very friendly, nothing is too much trouble and the regulars are friendly and welcoming.

Very comfy beds, nice and clean. Plenty of drinks/ snacks in the room provided. Friendly staff. We had a meal and really enjoyed the food and drinks. Would stay again.

Peerless in the local area. Food superb, some amazing dishes which were all good. From chicken pie to steak, risotto, chicken parfait to tarts tatin all superb Local bar also part of the pub restaurant which was nice to see. Only negative was one of the bar proper uppers decided it was ok to vape at the bar - pretty disgusting and staff seemed accepting of this as most diners had left at that point . Well done Duncombe, superb meal and top of your game

The food here is very good. There is a good range of pies, all are delicious. On Friday we had fish and chips. On "Fish Friday" it is £30 for two. The fish was huge, with lovely crispy batter. There is a choice of chips or fries, and mushy or garden peas. They come with tartar sauce. The staff are all lovely. Really friendly and helpful. I have recommended this pub to friends.
