The Crispin - Derbyshire Dales

Hot food was hearty and freshly made. Dogs welcome. Local beers on tap. Busy on Saturday and Sunday.

Went for our sons 16th birthday. Fire was lit, great atmosphere and the food was amazing. My only ask would be more vegetarian options, I really wanted a pie but it was game rabbit, I asked for halloumi kebab but it was out of stock, then quiche but it was bacon. We all loved the food we had, great service.

Quaint pub restaurant with good service and great food. I booked this for my partners Birthday on Friday. Good range of beers, wines and other drinks, Loved the home made food, great to see something other than burgers. I have recently been diagnosed with a dairy intolerance so the chickpea curry was absolutely delicious with rice and popadums. My partner had the steak and unicorn pie, the unicorn being an ale they sell …we laughed with the friendly manager as I’d thought it might be horse meat! The pie was proper home made not processed and the steak was melt in the mouth , absolute quality and fresh veg too . Nice atmosphere and a quirky range of Toby jugs , must be hundreds of them and just fun looking at them especially the old logos. Friendly service and all in all pleased with our choice. Will visit again.

We had a lovely lunch today. Good portions of fish and pie, accompanied by a great tasting cider, and followed by huge Bakewell puddings and ice cream. Staff were friendly and helpful and didn’t seem to mind that our big dogs sprawled over the floor taking up space (we did offer to sit in the beer garden! . Highly recommend and will definitely eat here again.

The Crispin knows how to do a proper lunch! It’s so unusual nowadays to find a pub that serves fresh vegetables beautifully cooked but my liver and my husband’s thick crust steak pie came with cauliflower in cheese sauce, chunky carrots and French beans. The best we’ve had for ages.
