Had a great time on Friday evening. Very good live music with an all girl duo, with everyone singing along, a great atmosphere. Real ales included Oakhams Citra and Akholme's Darley' Ghost. It is a really good local friendly pub and a few pints slipped down quickly after a long drive up from Suffolk.

What a fantastic little pub. We had some lunch there the other day and it was beautifully presented, with pleasant/friendly staff. The chips were delicious and so was the ham oatcake. We had the small portions, which was plenty big enough!!! I will certainly go there again and I will recommend it to anyone who likes quaint older pubs. The locals were friendly as well.

I have only ever been here for drinks and this was my 2nd visit here! They have their own brewery on site and would recommend the beers. They have a good selection of ales and certainly worth a visit if staying nearby or after a nice walk.

After a most enjoyable walk on Stanton Moor on a sunny Sunday morning, we went to the Druid Inn for lunch as this was very close to where we had parked for our walk. To our surprise, the restaurant was not particularly busy, but perhaps locals prefer the other pub in the village. The Sunday lunch menu offered two fixed price options for either two or three courses. The choices were a bit limited, and the prices were definitely on the high side. The four of us all enjoyed our starters, but the main courses certainly didn't justify the price charged. Perhaps we too should have tried the other pub in Birchover, the Red Lion!

Great village pub with an awesome selection of drinks. There's a brewery on site plus local craft ales and ciders, any spirits you could wish for, great food and amazing hosts. All the food is locally sourced and cooked with love. Bands on every Friday and Saturday, what's not to like?

Made a reservation for a Saturday night fortunately, it was rammed. Good choice of beers and wine as well as a comprehensive menu. Food quality was good and service friendly. Certainly return.Thanks Molenders. Your recommendation that bookings ahead are made is a valid one, and we do accept bookings which help us with our planning. Recently we have had a few "no-shows" which are frustrating - not only for us but also for hopeful diners who were turned away on the night. We may have to introduce a policy of only keeping a table for a few minutes after the agreed time. Marilyn suggests that there should be a website where we can register no- shows so others will know of their conduct. A recent article in the trade paper claimed that a majority of 25 to 35yr olds admitted booking more than one venue so they had a choice on the night, but didn't think it was wrong!Luckily it doesn't happen too often, if it becomes a real problem we will have to take deposits from those not known to us as some London restaurants already do. If last minute hitches occur we always appreciate a phone call to just let us know.Thank you for your review, and we look forward to your next visit, many thanks,best wishesDavid, Marilyn and Staff

Old fashioned English pub and community hub. Serving well kept cask-conditioned real ale that has an excellent reputation both locally and visitors, because the landlord knows how to keep beer correctly. Serves good quality, home made food at lunch and in

We had a great meal here, the food was delicious, my fave was the breaded Brie wedges with salad and sweet potato fries, my daughter had the homemade steak pie with chips, peas and gravy, very tasty. They serve a very tasty rhubarb cider which is delicious. If you like good food, visit the Sycamore Inn.

Absolutely disgusting customer service during the ABBA tribute towards me and my friends. Phone destroyed by the owner and now has water damage from a drink poor all over it. Was swore at and he commented on all our appearances, the way he spoke to his customers was absolutely disgusting. Verbally abusive. Please stay away from this place, he is disgusting! Will be taking this further. We will be taking this further as he went through our personal belongings without permission, was verbally abusive when he told us to leave and was genuinely just a disgusting person towards customers.This is largely true when you turn up to an event we put on for free at great expense and think itâs okay to bring your own vodka, beer and cider then think because I tell you to leave Iâm in the wrong. You type of people spoil an exceptional event by your dishonest deceitful behaviour. We donât need customers like you. Thank you.

I have already rated excellent and still do. However, having dined here five times in the last couple of months, I can now comment on some of the dishes.The sizzlers, lasagne, gammon, ham and eggs, salmon and poached fish are all superb.On a personal note-Great battered cod but still had skin on.The steak pie was a casserole with a lid of fragile pastry that shattered when you tried to put your fork in it. Otherwise very tasty.The Gumbo pepperpot to me was an expensive bowl of leftovers from other items on the menu.A bigger specials board would be good as then you don't always know what you're having before you get there.On a very personal note-they don't stock newcastle brown.Hi there, Thanks so much for your review, we're glad you enjoyed us enough to pop back so many times! We hope we can continue to allow you to try more of our dishes and find some more that do suit! It is often very interesting to hear different opinions on our dishes. Next week we will be changing our menu for our more autumnal selection, so we hope you will come again to try this menu too. Just for any future reference: We are always more than happy to take the skin off your fish and chips, please mention it next time. We take your note about the pies and are actually changing to a new recipe for the pie, it will be an all encompassed pie next time! And we just so happen to be taking the Gumbo off! - So I hope we have solved all the dishes that don't quite suit. We look forward to seeing you again in the future, Many Thanks! Olivia.
