Called to book a night here in November, and was quoted a rate of £85 a night even though the website quite clearly states £75 a night for a Saturday reservation. When this was queried I just got the reply of âoh well thatâs the rateâ. I would like to suggest they update their website and work on their customer service a little. For the sake of £10 a good will gesture could have been offered.Many thanks for the feedback. We will take a look at this and take action where necessary.

We went here for a family lunch for my sons birthday. Really great food and a special feel to the lunch. Not your standard pub. Excellent for an occasion.

called into this pub today and was made very welcome by the owners. It is dog friendly so we were able to take our dog into the bar. The food was very well presented, and will be calling in again soon.

We took refuge on a cold and wet âsummerâ day, and felt welcome immediately.We chose standard pub meals, which were all tasty and well presented. The ambiance was pleasant, and we would call in again if in the area. A surprise was the chocolate factory in the garden!

Nice setting, and pretty pub. But inside everything was a bit dated and sticky. The staff seems mostly disinterested. Not rude, but not exactly the warm Derbyshire welcome. Chose burgers and they were ok - floury white buns, nice salad, huge qualities of coleslaw, but the chips were just horrible and undercooked and chewy.You can park in the car park, go for a walk and if you eat/drink after, you don't need to buy a parking ticket.

First, a confession. I am a bit obsessive about cheese scones. The blame for this lies with my daughter-in-lawâs mother, J, who bakes a perfect cheese scone. Consequently, every NT property tea room and similar establishment that bakes and sells cheese scones that I visit has its cheese scones rated on a 1 to 10 scale that has Jâs level of perfection at the very top. Suffice it to say that almost never has this near impossible target been reached. A crunchy, cheesy outside (not too hard), a fluffy inside, a clean taste without excess soda, not too dry, not bready. Rare indeed. The cheese scones baked here (by the lady I had to meet) are amazingly equal to the standard set by J, and she has scored an almost unprecedented 10. Well done indeed. I also had a delicious tomato soup and Stilton cheese to go with this remarkable scone. Donât let the fame go to your head. The tea room itself is really lovely too and the cakes looked really good too. Their coffee wasnât half bad either.

Regular customers of this bar/restaurant since it opened...itâs always been a no brainier go-to for a good meal with friends, as a couple, or cocktails with the girls. Something has definitely changed here though... the menu is now limited and ridiculously expensive, the service is slow and the young waiting staff had particularly vague knowledge regarding the menu. Food very much below average.. bland and uninspiring. Why take pizza off the menu? Yet leave a fully functional pizza oven taking up a quarter of the downstairs space? The pizzas were great.. and after all it is an Italian inspired restaurant...??It feels as if the owners have taken their eyes off the ball... the decor is looking tired, particularly the downstairs leading to the toilets and the toilets themselves... locks not working etc. Really, really disappointing overall.Cocktails still good and bar area buzzy and vibrant. Just donât eat here. Oh, and they no longer serve Guinness either...Dear GDSNJHWe're so sorry you had a disappointing experience at Amalfi White. To explain a few of the points you have raised:MenuWe cater for all dietary requirements, on our current a la carte menu we offer 10 starters and 11 main dishes - this is a huge choice for a quality establishment such as Amalfi White. We have NO microwaves, no pre made sauces, all our dishes are cooked fresh to order. Our ingredients are of the highest quality. The menu has a great range of price options from a burger for £11.50 all the way to Beef Wellington made by our own Chefs for £30. We also have a under £10 lunch menu which is of excellent value. We have separate menus for gluten-free, lactose and vegan customers. We run Tapas Thursday nights to mix things up a bit and do an excellent Sunday roast set menu. In terms of range of menu it's pretty awesome for a five day a week operation in a village.PizzaOur lovely pizza oven is still very much in use! It's used 2 to 3 times a week when we cater for events in our Ballroom. It is a very important asset the business but just does not work for us restaurant side which is why we have removed it from our daily menu. Our chefs are now all together in the kitchen working off the one particular menu of the day meaning that we can utilise our team better and create more excellent quality core menu dishes for our customers.Our BuildingAfter a busy summer the building has definitely had a great use, and we have had the maintenance team in full swing so all of your items that you mention in your review above are now fixed. The paint has dried and it looks amazing. GuinnessWe're sorry you are disappointed we don't have Guinness on draught any more - its just not popular enough with our customers to go through the volume and we were throwing away kegs of it however we do have surger cans if you wish to enjoy one with us.StaffingAlways this time of year we have the old guard leave us to go to University and we have an influx of new staff. It takes a few days for everyone to settle in and you must have got us on an off day. I'm so sorry however the recent training has gone really well and everyone is working together.We hope this has answered your points above, and thank you for taking the time to review.Kindest regards,AW

We visited twice recently, first time for a few drinks and the second time we had a meal. Excellent standard of food, really delicious. Friendly staff, good atmosphere but very noisy bar. There is also a restaurant upstairs which may be quieter. We shared 3 small plates to start and both had a lamb dish for main. Including a bottle of wine £67 but worth it.

We were entertained by our daughter and son-in-law to a Champagne Breakfast to celebrate a new job. This is one of their favourite ways to celebrate and we could see why.A leisurely start to the day, we were booked into the first sitting for breakfast at 10.30, arriving to find our table all set up (with ice bucket on stand nearby) and the place buzzing with customers, a mixture of ages, some groups, others clearly families like us.You can opt for either Prosecco or Champagne and each guest also has a small carafe of orange juice by one's place setting, giving you the option of just drinking juice or converting your fizz into Bucks Fizz.Breakfast is served in three courses, fruit and cereal based options for the first course, a lovely choice of mains (including the 'Full English') and toast with preserves and coffee or tea for the final course, if you still have room.Chairs are comfortable, tables laid with proper linen and napkins and a pleasant environment in which to sit. The restaurant was busy, with all tables taken and, if you are well covered you might have to 'squeeze ' through to access the toilets on the first floor - tables located at the very front, nearer the entrance were a little more spaced out.Staff were young and friendly, we didn't encounter any service issues mentioned in other reviews, in fact, on our third course, no less than three people came over to our table to apologise for the delay in serving my coffee, which was due to the coffee machine having to be refilled.I started with a poached fruit compote, topped with creme fraiche and toasted split almonds - rich and syrupy and delicious. My daughter had a lovely apple strudel oatmeal, topped with sultanas and cinnamon and the men both went for granola based dishes with fruit.For my main course I opted for a toasted bagel, filled with fresh pear, caramelised onion (really sweet and tasty) and cheese and served with smoked bacon and either a poached or fried egg; most unusual and surprisingly filling.We felt completely unrushed and relaxed - a novel way to go out and celebrate - and we didn't need lunch!I would thoroughly recommend giving it a go.Good evening Fifty Fifty5050Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review.We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your recent visit for Champagne Breakfast with us here at The Bay Tree.Thank you again for the positive comments, which mean so much to us all and we will of course read out your review in our daily meeting so everyone can hear not just from us but from our guests too.We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
