I went to hardwick inn with my family for some dinner and realised that unfortunately due to dietary needs there is nothing on the menu I could eat. I was surprised by this since the hardwick cafe offers many options for my diet type. However that was okay because I understand they cannot cater to everyone, so I decided I will just order sides so my family could still order their meals. Once we ordered it because very clear that sides were not allowed to be ordered if they weren’t ordered for a main meal. This I find confusing since all other places allow sides to be ordered individually. It made my family very uncomfortable as we were almost grilled about which meals our sides would be comi...
Wanted to break our morning motorway journey north with a breakfast stop McDonalds Roadchef Tibshelf Northbound not. The Hardwick Inn is about as far removed from Maccas as you could get and although the satnav tried to take us through the neighbouring gated estate, it was so worth the short detour! Such a grand old pub with huge flagstone floors and characterful rooms tucked away in all directions. Opens at 10am which is a bonus and on arrival just after then, the place was already busy with a multitude of dog walkers and ramblers. The 7 day a week, all day menu, offers traditional breakfast fayre, together with a range of sandwiches, soups and jacket potatoes. We were warned of a possible...
The food is very disappointing, all the meals were lukewarm at best. The vegetables on the turkey dinner were shocking, I don’t mind slightly over cooked carrots but these were mush. The Yorkshire puddings were rubbery, parsnips over sweet, roast potatoes tough from reheating (probably in a deep fat fryer) and the mashed potatoes tasteless. The pastry on the pie was soggy and the starters equally as bad, tasteless and dry. Not only were the meals poor it was freezing cold in there! Not just us but People around us were having to wear their coats whilst eating. I know it’s an old building but they told us they had only just turned the heating on! For context there was snow outside and it was...
Came out for a lunch meal with family, for my birthday. Service was brilliant with friendly staff who didn't leave us waiting. Food and drink came out swiftly. Food was tasty. However, the pastry on the chicken pie was incredibly sweet. But reading a review below mentions that there wasn't enough chicken but I had plenty in mine. I didn't mention anything as the rest of the meals were delicious. Place was clean and made comfortable with a roaring fire. Will definitely come again but please make the pastry less sweet

A good choice of Vegetarian and Vegan options that makes a change (nice one Hardwick) My wife had Hardwick's own Vegetable Burger, that she did say was perhaps the best she had ever tasted for a burger, I had the Hardwick's own Stake and Stilton pie that was beautiful, both meals were simple delicious served up lovely and hot as they should be and good portions also, Genuinely great service with a smile, Friday 9th Aug, Thank you we will be returning soon.
Been here loads of time but this was one to forget. The room was cold it was over 20 mins before our order was taken and we had to ask. We wanted a roast dinner but there was only pork on offer and it was dried out, as was the mash. If this is the new standard it probably explains why it was empty at 7.30. We didn't risk a sweet, and we did tell the waitress, which I don't do as a rule too english!!
Poor, we had the prawn sandwich and scampi and chips, the prawn sandwich came on brown bread cut way to thick each slice was 1/2” and also 1/2 an apple on tbd plate!!,…the chips on both meals were not cooked. Very disappointed and it’s a shame they are serving sub standard food because the location is superb, go for a drink but don’t waste your money on the food.
Excellent all round. A beautiful old inn in an idyllic spot, just on the edge of the Hardwick Hall Estate. The staff are great and the food was generous and simply delicious. The best meal I’ve had in ages!

Great pub, lovely food and beer and friendly helpfull staff. Food was plentifull and tasty, beer was well kept, and the 4 staff that served me were all friendly and helpful, what more could you want?
Refuse to contemplate offering Vegan food now or in the future. Wonder what they are like with Gluten intolerance or peanut allergy. Go elsewhere.
