The Lamb Inn

There are plenty of reasons to add The Lamb Inn in Chinley to your list of places to visit in Derbyshire. Locals know it as a stellar country pub where a warm welcome is guaranteed, but that’s only half the story. First-rate food and expertly selected real ales ensure visitors return to this much-loved bolthole time and again. The pub’s pretty surrounds are the perfect spot for taking time out of your day. Inside, you can expect all the usual comforts of a traditional local – low-beamed ceilings, exposed stonework, wood-burning stoves and warm lighting.

The kitchen at The Lamb Inn operates a menu that blends the best of traditional British and modern European fare. You might see the likes of honey and mustard ham hock with sautéed new potatoes, and tomato and mozzarella salad with basil oil dressing, or three-hour slow-roasted shoulder of Derbyshire lamb accompanied by creamy mash, minty gravy and seasonal veg. For the truly ravenous, the inn’s 8oz prime steak burger, topped with iceberg lettuce, mature Cheddar, caramelised onions, spicy mayo and served in a toasted bun with chips, comes highly recommended. There’s also a lovely summer salad and children’s menu, covering all bases when it comes to catering to every customer.

For those planning a longer stay in the region, The Lamb Inn’s three en-suite bedrooms offer a comfortable, home-from-home retreat at the end of a day’s adventuring in the Peaks.
