Horse And Jockey - Derbyshire Dales

The Horse and Jockey is definitely 'a local pub for local people ' On one side it seems like a good pub selling beers with a restaurant attached where you...

Ummmmm disappointing. Female bar server unfriendly and does not top up your drinks and thus very surly if you ask for this to be done . Has she not seen the recent survey about people being shortchanged ??? If this continues we won’t be coming back. Staff training in customer service required particularly bearing in the mind the summer is coming . Maybe hospitality is not the ideal job.

Well we ordered whitebait prawn cocktail starters gammon which came with chips salad steak ale pie with chips peas plus ordered a portion onion rings. Staff then informed us no whitebait shouldn’t have been on the menu bearing in mind it’s a proper printed menu. So ordered salt pepper chicken. Cocktail full of prawns but bread that came with it was 2 small seeded bread crusts part dry soggy. The salt pepper chicken good portion for a starter. The gammon was large tasty but pie had two bits of pastry on the top not sure what pastry it was. Meat gravy very salty chips brill. Onion rings never turned up so told them to take off the bill. Would we eat there again no but would pop in for a pint.

It was a beautiful day and Tideswell is a beautiful.village so all that was needed was a great pub to provide food and the Horse and Jockey was all that and more. Friendly and helpful staff and good choices of Gluten Free meals made it perfect for us. Will definitely be going back

The reformation continues!! New manager in place and hopefully the only way is up. This pub is in a prime position and needed to improve. That’s two recent visits now and both visits went ok
