The Duke William

Was recommended this pub for their good home-cooked food. It didn't disappoint, Paul had butchers sausages, with cheese and onion creamed mashed potatoes and chefs special meat juices gravy. I had oven baked chicken breast in cheese and garlic sauce, with chips, peas and salad. Two well cooked meals and 2 decent pints. Highly recommend.

Had a run out to Matlock with the family and booked in for Sunday lunch here. The staff were very friendly and the carvery was absolutely beautiful. (I usually shy away from Sunday dinner out as they never taste as good as home). The gravy made it for me...just the right consistency and yumminess. Was impressed with choice of 6 veg not to mention the roasties, mash and parsnip chips

I had my first pint of Abbot’s ale at this pub after a long time . What an amazingly taste and I thoroughly enjoyed it. But the real highlight of our visit was was the warmth of the landlady , Janet, and her good friend Frances . It was so wonderful to converse with that family and they made us feel so welcome . I would highly recommend this pub for its traditional design and the beer was out of this world. Than you so much for a lovely start to our vacation in Matlock !!!

A lovely traditional pub with its own camping field some pitches have electric hook up. The food is reasonable priced and good quality. Sunday roast is delicious and plentiful and the owners are very friendly. We had a very enjoyable stop over with showers and toilets available 24/7. The whole place is kept spotlessly clean.

We happened by this pub while on a weekend stay in a cottage and ended up there 2 of the 4 days we stayed. It was a warm welcome, like your local pub but on holiday. The staff were spot on, chatty if you wanted or attentively pulling pints if quiet is your thing. Locals and holiday makers were mixing easily, the atmosphere was great. We ate here twice, and I would heartily recommend the food, which ranges from honest home cooked favourites, to flavourful vegan, to an amazingly huge Sunday roast, all well cooked and served. Cannot recommend this place highly enough, an absolute gem of a pub!
