Featured Birchover Restaurants
1. Stones
British, Modern restaurant in Matlock
1C Dale Rd - DE4
“Holds its own amongst all the surrounding high-end restaurants” – Kevin Stone and his family’s local fixture occupies a pleasant, light-filled conservatory and in summer there’s a terrace overlooking the River Derwent. Reports suggest it’s “always a pleasure to eat there” – not everything is perfect but “the food is really good and competitive prices add to its good value”.
2. The Peacock at Rowsley
British, Modern restaurant in Rowsley
Bakewell Rd - DE4
2024 Review: 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.
3. The Beeley Inn
British, Modern restaurant in Beeley
Devonshire Square - DE4
2022 Review: This “lovely gastropub” on the Duke of Devonshire’s Chatsworth estate gets mostly positive feedback for its “good food and real ales”. There’s sometimes a perception, though, that “it falls short” of its potential: “the cooking was fair, but it could be so nice here”.
4. Piedaniels
French restaurant in Bakewell
Bath St - DE45
2024 Review: “Great-value French cuisine” has drawn guests for more than 25 years to this family-run venture from Eric & Christiana Piedaniel – both career chefs. It makes a “lovely quiet environment for lunch” just 10 minutes’ drive from historic Chatsworth House.
5. Restaurant Lovage by Lee Smith
British, Modern restaurant in Bakewell
Bath Street - DE45
The “unbeatable” combination of “delicious food, good menu options and excellent service” “never disappoints” at this modern British outfit in the Peak District. Chef-patron Lee Smith grew up in nearby Mansfield and made his name cooking at Jersey restaurant Samphire before crowd-funding his debut here in 2020.
