The Tap House

Located in the old canteen of a 19th-century silk mill, Darleys is a stylish place with eye-catching décor and a pleasantly light feel. It also sits beside the river, so ask for a table either on the narrow terrace or beside the window on the upper level to make the most of the great view out over the weir. The appealing, generously proportioned cooking covers all bases: a few small and large plates ideal for sharing; produce cooked over the wood fire, be it chicken or aubergine; some pasta dishes; and a wide choice of steaks, including tomahawk for two.
