Bulls Head - Holymoorside

We dined and stayed at the Bulls Head where the focus is on the food where chef and the team deliver excellent food, every mouthful was a flavour bomb from the canopies through to desert everything was cooked to perfection, had a great chat with Mark. Will definitely be back.

Wow don’t hesitate to eat here I moved from Chesterfield 10yrs ago and return periodically to see family and friends. I needed to eat out and just fancied some up market food that was a bit more than burgers etc. I remembered The Bulls Head at Holymoorside so i gave it a go. I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was bar food, al a carte or tasting menu. I had the tasting menu, i think i picked the 5 course which was actually 6 including canapés( theres was a choice of adding further courses) What an amazing food taste sensation i had. I was blown away. You folk in Derbyshire are very lucky to have somewhere to eat with such a talented chef and team. How can someone elevate rice pudding to the glamorous level he did. ❤️❤️❤️ I will be back for sure.

Gorgeous pub tucked away in a lovely village. The food is really something special and much needed in the area for a different night out. We had the a la carte option. The Ham Egg starter is lovely and the venison with celeriac puree was delicious albeit the sauce was a little sweet for me but it went well with the dish. The canapés are stunning and the sour dough bread with marmite butter starts the meal off perfectly. Really worth a visit. We’ve been twice and enjoyed both visits. Next trip booked for December.

My husband and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary here by having the 5 course tasting menu. Everything was delicious. All the different ingredients for the courses were explained to us by the very helpful staff, especially by Tom who was particularly knowledgeable. Couldn't fault the service. It is a little pricey - my husband had a glass of wine at £13 - but the food and drink are excellent and of the highest quality, so for a celebration once a year, it's nice to treat yourself !!

Great dining and beautiful accommodation. Lovely, cosy pub hotel. Great food with a choice of menus, ranging from the tasting menu to simple (but very well done) pub fayre. We chose from the pub menu, special mention to the fish and chips, perfect! Accompanied by a good choice of drinks, with beer from the local Thornbridge brewery. Very handy spot for local attractions. We stayed for one night on a mini-break and the room was perfect. Lovely bedroom decoration, nicely fitted out bathroom with a decent sized bath and rainfall shower and a very comfy bed. Tea annd coffee making facilities provided along with chilled fresh milk. All super clean. Great breakfast too, toast or pastry stater with a good range of breakfast mains option. We had the FEB, black pudding was just perfect to soak up the previous nights ale.. Has its own free car parking too.

Really enjoyed the rustic feel to the place. Bed comfy, bath was a nice touch and the room was very homely. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was nice but didn’t like the ‘gammon’ style bacon and tomato chutney instead of a proper tomato. Would 100% recommend.
