The Knockerdown Inn And

Lovely pub in lovely setting. We haven’t been to eat or drink here for a number of years but glad we did today. The food was great and the staff behind the bar were really cheerful and friendly. The service was great and we were made to feel very welcome. Recommend it very much

Not been to the Knockerdown Inn for a while. Always enjoyed meals there but today was a massive disappointment. Although the bar staff were very pleasant it took a good while for the food to arrive. I had the fish which was the worst meal I have ever had, don’t know how many times it had been warmed up as you can tell by the taste and texture of the fish, and it still wasn’t hot. I won’t bother going back in the future.

Staff were very friendly, with just the right attention to timing and service, even though several of them were still learning the ropes . Food was excellent, though vegan choice a little limited, and the beer also really good. The pub has recently reopened after a refurbishment and change of management, and was nearly empty when we visited, as nobody knows it is open, so a very restful visit for a Saturday just before Christmas.

We were on our way back to Ashbourne from Matlock when we came across the Knockerdown Inn by chance, and so pleased we called in. A lovely pub with fantastic views and such a friendly atmosphere, all the staff were so welcoming and helpful, we ordered drinks and food, we had the cottage pie and pie of the day (lamb leek) both fantastic and great value for money. Will definitely be back next time we are visiting the beautiful Peak District. Gareth Suzanne

Pitch good valve for money , but be careful very muddy . Nice walks . Staff is very friendly and helpful. Evening meal awful , very dry lasagne had to send it back ,had something else a burger but that was burnt . Hubby had a fish and chips that was dry and fish over cooked and hard . How can you go wrong with burger ... lasagne or fish..... Should have stayed 2 nights but only stayed 1 night would not have eaten at the pub again . Plus, no were to eat only if you wanted to drive somewhere.

A very friendly welcome from the manager and really good quality homemade food made this a smashing evening. Our party of 5 enjoyed good beer and ciders. 2 of the had the steak and wine special, which was delicious and good value. The rest of us had very tasty freshly cooked meals. My cottage pie was absolutely yummy, and very filling.Homemade puds were also very good The manager was so friendly and helpful. We had a really good evening and really happy with quality and price of food ...so thank you. Speisekarte ansehen

Food was hot, fresh and tasty! There was a wait, but the restaurant was full and they were still willing to fit us in as a takeaway order as we were camping on site. Due to delays, manageress offered us a free drink, but we politely declined as they were kind enough to accomodate us and it was 100% our fault for not booking in! The team were obviously super busy and trying to multitask, but were pleasant even with some difficult customers and a lot of dogs! A proper pub with good food, reasonable prices, log burners and games would absolutely come again.

Gorgeous pub, lovely staff and amazing food. Visited for Sunday lunch, which was by far the best I’ve had in a very long time. The portion sizes were spot on, as were the roast potatoes. The kids meal was a cheese burger and chips, I had to sample and they were lush. I think it’s value for money, yes it’s more than you’d pay at a chain ran carvery but you get what you pay for and that was a very, very tasty lunch! It was popular, with most tables being served at some point, you definitely need to book. I cannot wait to visit again, I’m keen to go other times to sample the main menu.

Awful. Definitely do not consider here if you have a family. Very loud group playing dance music and shouting. We rang and got told someone would come down- it stopped briefly but then restarted. We rang again to be told they weren’t being excessively loud and no noise policy was after 11 this was about 10) Fair enough but this wasn’t a bit of noise it was a full on party. Our son was upset because he just wanted to sleep. So we waited patiently until 11 but did the music stop no- very loud music and shouting/ screaming/ swearing well into early hours. Given earlier concerns no one came to check or ask them to stop. Speisekarte ansehen
