Wheatsheaf, Baslow by Marston's Inns

Guesthouse

Great meal and the waiting staff where brilliant but the ladie who greeted us was blunt and rude. Our daughter has autism and we explained that we need a quieter place but she refused even though there was room.
Also wouldn't help with looking at different food alternatives.
Very disappointed as we love the hotel and did go quite often.

Very friendly atmosphere and couldn't fault the staff.

Beautiful pub, beautiful Sunday dinner and a beautiful atmosphere 👍 Thoroughly recommended and will be returning!

Food was delicious, lovely gardens and play area. Very dog friendly. Staff were all very polite and helpful.

Great food and service, lovely beer garden with play area and friendly staff.

Staff are so friendly, super quick order delivery. Foods are so fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Great pub serving lovely food at reasonable prices. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent outside area to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Would certainly visit again.

A brilliant family friendly pub. The outdoor area is amazing, large and very child friendly. It has got to be our favourite pub. We always visit when in the area. Food is good and very reasonably priced. Staff very friendly too.

Excellent staff, very engaging and attentive. Food top notch served piping hot and well presented. Lovely gardens and very comfortable inside and out. For such a beautiful pub, the Wheatsheaf as extremely reasonable food prices. Highly recommended.

Beautiful outside covered in flowers and the garden is great one of the best with sunny and shaded areas and apparatus for children. However, the kids meals let it down for me in a big way. At £3.99 for a meal I thought it was a bargain and ordered two kids cheesy pasta meals for a 9 year old and a 12 year old. The waitress brought them out different — one had cheese on and one had none which is a no no with children who then wondered why they had no cheese. Props to the waitress she did take it and put some cheese on and return it. However, the portion sizes were more like they were for a toddler. The 12 year old had finished the food in less than two minutes and the 9 year old finished shortly after and finished it all which is a first and they were both still hungry. There was a slice of garlic bread on the side that seemed like a frozen mass produced one. The pasta itself came in a small kidney style dish on a normal sized plate, I think the purpose of the plate was to hide the obvious tiny sized portion. I don't think I have ever seen such a small kids meal anywhere else on earth which is a shame for such a beautiful place to be so stingy over what is perhaps the cheapest thing to cook (pasta in tomato sauce with a tiny bit of cheese on the side). Shame.

A very popular pub with a great amount of comfortable seating and tables, including outdoors in the extensive grounds. Children are well catered for. Food includes some interesting dishes at sensible prices. Service is very punctual. Would rate 5 stars if the interior was less dingy and dated.

Always love the Wheatsheaf. Visit very regularly. Good food, good prices and lovely friendly staff.

A comfortable place to stay I a good location. Clean, comfortable room with bath or shower. Good breakfast. Staff are very helpful. We stayed on a hot Sunday when the pub was extremely busy but by 8:30pm, it was quiet. On a busy road but secondary double glazing helps.

Great pub with a toddler. Two slides and a climbing frame in the middle of tables. Lovely garden. Staff super helpful. Menus and wine very reasonable. Standard pub fayre, can't complain!

The food was fantastic and service great. The staff were friendly and professional during an extremely hot and busy bank holiday.

Fantastic service, on a busy Bank Holiday Monday too! Food was delicious and reasonable priced. I will 100% return. If only every pub/restaurant had staff waiting on you in the outdoor seating area like the Wheatsheaf do. Very friendly too.

Great parking and the service was brilliant. The staff go out if their way to develop a relationship with you and make you feel welcome. The chef is amazing and the food is also AMAZING.

Fantastic atmosphere, service and food. Wide variety to suit everyone's taste and great menu for kids to choose from at good price.

Great food, lovely place and wonderful food. Staff members were very friendly and accommodating. Family friendly but it does get packed during peak hours so keep that in mind.

A bit drafty and cold. The food was nice enough.

Excellent service for lunch on Sunday. Food came quick and was tasty. Excellent value.

Beautiful room that we stayed in, very friendly staff but not sure if they have changed the chef since we last stayed, if you like steak well done and breakfast burnt this is the place to stay!

Always good service good food at a good price one of our favourite haunts.

Busy New Year's day, dropped in for lunch after short walk around nearby Monsal Dale. Tables were limited but the three of us got seated quickly. We were ravenous and ordered promptly — the beef and ale pie, and a couple of burgers. I didn't want chips with my pie. My options were either baked or mashed potato, but upon inquiry the waitress informed us the mash was pre-made, bought in and warmed up on site. Went for the baked potato. Service was helpful and friendly but wouldn't go so far as attentive. As mentioned, they were indeed busy, yet no one checked back on our table once meals had been delivered. Decor I would describe as Dated Wetherspoons; patterned wallpaper and carpets, frosted glass tulip shaped light fittings, stained wooden skirting boards. Cosy in a sense, but tasteless. Food was okay but by no means extraordinary. This is not a Wetherspoons pub, I know, but essentially expect the same. Pie came with a spoonful of garden peas, baked potato and gravy — minimal with the extras really. Burgers apparently come well done as standard, so bear that in mind. One of them was extremely well done — char coating on the outside and completely dry within. Simply put, overcooked. Onions rings were all cold. No love had gone in to that food. Good for a casual drop in but don't expect the world.

Great service and great food.

The food was very good, good sized portions and arrived piping hot. The staff were very helpful and quick to meet any of our requests. The Wheatsheaf itself is very easy to find, being located on the main road from Chesterfield into Baslow, on the right hand side as soon as you enter the village. There is ample disabled parking.

The service here was good. The staff were attentive, but unfortunately the food wasn't the best. I had a meal with eggs, that were quite over done, to the point that they were hard to cut. Other than this, the meal was good, but nothing special. Would be good for a quick bite to eat, but I personally wouldn't purposely go there for the food.

We popped in here for food after a long day out and we were not disappointed, the decor of the pub was pleasant and warm, the food was tasty and well priced, I was impressed with the spiciness of the chicken I had. The fact that they also did table service was an added bonus. Great place.

Wasn't our cup of tea. Room decoration was nice, but bathroom (despite excellent shower) needed a deep clean to remove mildew and ground in dust. Left early due to terrible night's sleep: very stuffy room meant we had to open the windows, which meant in turn that went were kept awake by loud traffic, customers drinking outside, plus their cigarette smoke. Bed was way too hard for us, but others may like it.

My favourite pub in Chatsworth. Love the food and the atmosphere. Outside is lovely whether it's warm or cold.

Always busy, but you can get a table. Tasty food served from a large choice on the menu. They serve beer/soft drinks with your meal, or you can sit outside and enjoy a drink. Staff always helpful and polite.

Very nice food at a reasonable price. Best bit is that you can sit out side all weathers. As long as its warm enough. They have covered tables. So you can bring the kids and dog. What more could you want.

Regularly visit here and the food is excellent. Often when you arrive they will advise a wait time but it's always a shorter wait than they say so don't be put off. Reasonable prices and the beer garden is huge so there's room to sit outside even on sunny weekends.

Very friendly and welcoming staff here — quick and efficient service. We had lunch on a Sunday and sat out in the garden, which is very pleasant and quite extensive — someone has put a lot of thought into this. It also has a small playground for children — I guess it might get quite noisy at times because of this, but we didn't have any problems. Food was fine — nothing 'out of the ordinary' and maybe a little on the pricey side for what you get, but we would come here again.

Turned up for dinner on a busy Saturday, there were plenty of free tables and food came extremely quickly! Staff were very friendly and let me take a doggie bag home. Lovely meal would happily recommend.

Went to the Wheathampstead for a quick spot of lunch. Sat outside. Food was quite reasonable price wise for a country pub. Great outside area with play area for younger kids. The food was 50/50, as in a couple of meals were nice and a couple were not great (certainly not for the price when paying nearly £10 for lumpy potatoes, or nearly £14 for a mixed grill with chewy steak, a few bad chips, when you can get two for £5 meals better elsewhere), but all in all not bad enough to be bothered to complain.

Had a lovely time the meals were very nice the staff were friendly and helpful would highly recommend this restaurant/pub to all my friends.

Great place. Lovely pub with a great beer garden and play area for children. The staff were great along with some great food too. Did I say great?

Good, wholesome food at decent prices. Consistently good.

Lovely food, great value for money, friendly staff, a great place to take the children for a meal, they have a Lovely beer garden to sit in and have a drink or a meal while the kids play on the play area.

Pleasant surroundings and staff and very quick service… food was ok, not brilliant but steady and you know what you are getting.

Stayed here overnight, evening meal and breakfast good, staff polite but a tad slow at times. Room was adequate, but location next to main road, single glazing, and toilet macerators throughout the hotel made for a noisy nights sleep, would recommend ear plugs if staying here. Wi-Fi signal in rooms was good and plenty of parking available. Hot water from mixer tap was a disconcerting murky brown colour. Also would have appreciated some notice the window cleaner would be climbing onto the flat roof outside the toilet during my morning routine.

Always a warm welcome when we stop off for a meal. The Wheatsheaf is busy but we'll organised so I've always been pleased with the food.

Went here with a bunch of guys after a event round the corner, Happy to host (10 guys) for lunch. Found us a table no issue. food was really good, I had a burger which was ace. Everyone liked what they got. Lots of real ales on which was good. Also got lots of parking.

Sadly you can't reserve a table but the food is great, they even have options for vegans. There's a generous outdoors area for eating and drinking and good post equipment for the kids.

Food was good but they got my order wrong. Nice little park for children.

Warm, friendly pub. Excellent service and food quality.

Food was OK u got what u paid for. Service was quiet slick and friendly.

Loved it. Nice and welcoming, food came quickly and tasted good.

Fairly extensive menu as such venues go, good food, good beer, polite and helpful staff, reasonable prices and some good offers on the menu (subject to change but in the past there's been offers like add a starter for a pound and add a dessert for a pound). Quite spacious but can get full especially times like summer weekends — but then there's loads more space in the pleasant garden. Even when they're very busy they seem able to cope when a group of a dozen of us turn up for lunch. I visit several times a year and have found it consistent and reliable, never any grounds for dissatisfaction.

Disgusting Customer Service — Avoid! We walked into the Wheatsheaf pub on a Sunday afternoon looking for a table for 3. Initially, the girl behind the bar was helpful and tried to find us a table. Then a group of 3 people got up from a long table close to the bar. The bar girl told us to take that table. We moved to take their place but were blocked by a young, surly waiter who told us we couldn't have the table as it was for 10 people. He then told us "YOU, can have that one", and pointed to a table for 2. My partner refused this as it was too small and there were 3 of us. I informed the waiter that it was the only free table in the pub, and that the bar girl had told us to take that table. He continued his argument, to which I retorted that "as a paying customer I'd sit where I liked". Then the manager intervened, saying he would look for another table. He rushed off, almost knocking over my daughter and treading on her foot in the process. No apology was offered. At this point we decided we couldn't take any further insult and left. I returned briefly to make my feelings known to the manager. Again, no apology was offered, instead the manager, his head just inches from mine told me that "Nobody said you couldn't sit there, we might just ask you to share". It was too little, too late. We don't expect too much just to be treated with a little respect. We have never been treated so rudely.

Nice big refurbished clean rooms. Great pub with tasty food. Friendly staff. Perfect place to stop in Peak District in great location. Recommend it, would stay again.
