The Peacock at Rowsley

Modern British

£££

Occupying a prime corner site near the River Derwent, this foliage-clad former manor house is an inviting prospect as soon as you lay eyes on it. Inside, oak ‘Mousey Thompson’ furnishings and antique oil paintings are juxtaposed with modern lighting and contemporary art. The menus offer a broad spectrum, from light lunch bites like sandwiches, salads and ploughman’s, to a full dinner tasting menu with wine pairings – plus afternoon tea and Sunday roasts. Stay overnight in one of the antique-furnished bedrooms, then spend the next day exploring the Peak District.

Lovage

Modern British

££££

In the heart of a historic market town, famed for its puddings and tarts, you'll find this cosy restaurant located inside a former stable block. That past occupation makes itself known in the wonderfully rustic décor with wood-panelled walls, exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings. The chatty, informative team are sure to put a smile on your face as they enthusiastically explain the modern dishes made up of quality local ingredients and featuring classic combinations like roasted beetroot with goat's cheese. The team also run a more casual coffee shop next door.
