The Midland - Matlock Bath

I only give the extra star for the patio. The inside is dirty a d the lady behind the bar clearly hates people. Not sure why she works/runs a pub?? the many other reviews that say the same thing....it 's true!!! Go to the fishpond

Reading these reviews I know exactly who the grumpy woman on the bar was after todays visit! Me and my partner order a pie and chips and the chips were lukewarm, asked that lovely pleasant cheery woman on the bar to heat it in the microwave for her to come back and say that it will not be possible and the chef would have to re-do the whole thing! All I wanted was hot chips! She then returned from the kitchen to say the chef probed it and it’s “between the right temperatures for serving” I said I only wanted the chips heating up and she then said the same sentence “the chef said it was the right temperature” in a sarcastic manner and stormed off! She then had the audacity when she brought the re done meals out (which were steaming hot this time) to say “let’s try again shall we?” Such a rude sarcastic woman won’t be coming back here again! Funny how the food was steaming hot the second time round clearly the chefs probing stick was faulty the first time! Get better manners and treat your customers with respect!!!

Went for a pint today, and took my mum and uncle who are normally very tolerant of others, but even they said how miserable the bar lady was. It 's as if she begrudged me paying for a pint. Had it not been for my company I was close to saying If it 's making you that grumpy, then best quit The bar and its beer garden were below-par. So much potential. The selection of beer is equally naff. Left half my pint and we went to Buxton. Avoid, but then I would take a picnic and avoid the main street all together....it 's depressing when the actual Derbyshire Dales are stunning.

Brilliant service lovely and peaceful very friendly Service: 5 Location: 5

The midland is mid tbh. Rude and unfriendly staff; the burger was just a patty and a slice of cheese and the salad was not fresh, it was bone dry. The only nice thing is the location. What a waste of a spot. Service: 1 Location: 4
