Comfortable room, very comfortable bed. Evening meal was pretty much as good as it gets even when compared to the best London dining establishments and service was a nice mix of professionalism and personal engagement. The locals that live nearby are exceptionally lucky to this place in their area.

The Prince of Wales Village Pub and Restaurant sits on the edge of the beautiful Chatsworth Estate in the pretty village of Baslow. Our passion is fresh, seasonal food using local ingredients in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. The bar is a great place

Visited here for a late Sunday lunch with friends. The welcome into the venue was very warm and pleasant, we arrived about 25 mins earlier than our booking with no expectations of being seated immediately and said as much. Despite this our expectations were very well managed with seats immediately being made available for a drink and bar service prompt and attentive. Our table was made available to us bang on our 2pm booking time. On the website its is hard to determine if on a Sunday they do anything other than a roast but as it is there is a very good choice including two roast meats and light bites should you want them. We all started with whitebait - and I have to say (and I rarely do) that this was possibly the best white bait I have every had which really is going an extra mile in comment since I love white bait and have it regularly. It came with an aioli and garlic sauce and beautiful accompanying salad. The garlic was beautifully subtle - I normally avoid garlic dishes since the current trend seems to be to smoother food in garlic to the point that is the only taste you get. This was absolutely not the case it was delightful and beautifully presented. For mains two of us ordered roast beef and the other the steak and ale pie. I was pleased to hear on ordering that the default position was pink but that if requested I could ask for very pink (red.) First grouch announcement - they serve topside of beef.... now call me a beef snob but this is just the same as every darned Sunday lunch in the area... blasted cheap meat! I would rather pay £10 more for the cost of my lunch and have a lovely piece of sirloin of beef than topside or even worse. I appreciate that this is the "people's choice" when buying their own meat but its inferior and generally tough and fairly tasteless. The steak knives you are brought always give the game away but I am glad they did! I just do not think people get what good meat tastes like and of course the venue has to provide a menu that will bring the punters in! The time lapse between courses was absolutely spot on. Enough time to relax and contemplate how delicious the starter had been and of course glug another glass of wine! Our mains arrived - well the pie looked well like a pie with chips but was piping hot and pronounced delicious which coming from my "nothing is every right" friend was high praise indeed. The roasts were beautifully presented with the veg and roast potatoes tucked under the two hearty slices of beef and not one of those wretched giant Yorkshire puds that most places seem to favour but an in betweeny sized one. The meat was pink as described (no red as I had hoped and been promised.) BUTGrouch warning 2 - the roast meals were well cold! Tepid at the most and the plates cold. Now I am not one for not saying what I find at the time, why would I grumble on here without saying my bit at the time - well I wouldn't. So despite protestations from my friend who would actually buy a new car and get it home to find it had no wheels and still not complain, I quietly complained. With no fuss our plates were taken away to be re-served. Hmmm, my friend and I laughed when I said they would probably bung them in the microwave and have done with us.... In actual fact what came back was red hot plates, slightly warmer veg and gravy and cold Yorkshire puds. In my view not acceptable but out of respect to my friend, difference and a convivial meal I made the observation to the waitress but left it at that. I of course ate all my food despite its lukewarm state - it was jolly tasty despite the temperature and the tough meat which was actually tastier than most pieces of topside. I only eat one meal a day and my previous meal had been some 30 hours previous - I am afraid I gave up and just ate, ate! Even the darned carrots were tasty! But the Yorkshire pud was grim cold! So why have I rated this place as very good - well because despite the tepid food the cooking, taste, ambience and lovely staff are certainly well worth another try. And my dogs are going to love it - my friend who only eats a little for health reasons only had about three bites of her cold meat (too tough to slip down I guess) so the restaurant manager of the day packed it up in foil for my doggy kids at home. Its going to soak for 24 hours because I do not let my dogs have human food but they are going to love it and I loved the attitude of the manager of the day who sadly is leaving in a couple of weeks time after 13 years of service there. I hope they find someone as good as her as a replacement. We will be back and I hope next time I can have a piping hot meal that lives up to the good cooking that these people do, the chefs are talented albeit working to a budget. Please don't ruin your skill by dishing it out cold. I appreciate that many people probably always have tepid meals but not in my family and certainly not when serving others. BUT I am still giving you a good rating because I can taste and see that you are very good so despite the long hours you must work remember customer and food first - your hot bath and exhaustion second!Hi Jaca100,Wow! What a read! Thank you for spending so much time on your review. I see from many of your other reviews you are a stickler for perfection. I am glad we scored high on your agenda. I shall naturally check with our Chef the couple of pints you mention. It is quite unusual to hear this. All the very best, I do hope we see you again in the near future. Tom

We were staying at The Hunters Inn with our camper van so hopeful that the pub on our doorstep would be worth a visit. We were not dissapointed. Our reservation for two was changed to four by the very friendly waitress and despite saying there might be a little wait with our orders we were served pretty quickly. My mushroom risotto was excellent and the oher diners were really happy with their choices of salmon & traditional fish & chips. The portions are very large so you might not need a starter. And be careful when ordering the garlic bread- it is half of a giant tiger loaf, enough for about eight people!

My husband & I visited here hoping for a lovely Sunday lunch, we was very disappointed,, it is more like a cafe than a restaurant,,, there was no love what so ever went into the food we had,,, everything was greasy,, the mash potatoes was full of lumps & to be honest no taste what's so ever,,,,we will not be returning.Hello Brenda We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your meal but we are a little confused as we not sure this review is for The Bulls Head in CastletonFirstly we do not have a restaurant and the cafe description were are not as you can see from our pictures on our web pages. As for the grease we don't understand where that could be from as there is nothing on our Sunday lunches that contains grease apart from the dripping roast potatoes which are drained after cooking and finally we serve only roast and new potatoes but never mash so you can understand our confusion on your reviewIf you could please review your comments
