Northwood Restaurant Guide

“High-end dining without pretension” is the promise at the Gallery restaurant, whose ‘10-mile’ menu features many ingredients grown on the Chatsworth estate, of which the hotel – “beautifully refurbished” at a reported cost of £3.5 million in summer 2024 – is part.

“A traditional-looking pub serving non-traditional food” – this Peak District inn with rooms continues to inspire nothing but positive feedback for its ambitious modern cuisine. “We had the signature tasting menu and it was superb!” – six courses are £89 per person: “ingredients are top-quality, all perfectly cooked, set in imaginative dishes and beautifully presented. Head chef, Mark Aisthorpe, was present in the kitchen and made the Yorkshire rhubarb dish by the table using liquid nitrogen. It was pure theatre and lots of fun!”. (There is also a range of cheaper menu options).
