Food Scene
We are proud of our Community owned and run Pub which was saved and renovated in 2017. Full of character, a great range of beers and gins, serving hot food til 8.30 most nights. The Spotted Calf Cafe behind the pub serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Only a short walk from our place, mainly over fields. Great for Break fast lunch or an early evening meal.

A restaurant and pub with the opportunity to sit outside in the garden and eat great wood fired pizza. Great in the winter too particularly in the cozy bar area with it's open fire. Gets very busy so get there early doors or book for the restaurant.

This is a chocolate maker with a cafe attached. You have to go here for the delicious cakes - chocolate and stem ginger cake is a personal favourite. The hot chocolates are like a meal in themselves. They do savoury hot food too like a chilli with chocolate in it. Has to be tried. Walk across the top to Belper from ours on a Saturday for brunch or lunch to work up an appetite. Walk back to lose the calories or catch the 7.1 bus back to the bottom of our drive if you've eaten too much to walk!

A short walk across our fields, up past the church and through the village, this is the community run cafe attached to The Spotted Cow pub. They serve Breakfast, Lunch and afternoon tea with a good range of home made cakes. It also now houses Holbrook Post Office. A pleasant place to sit and enjoy a coffee or something more substantial.
