The Old Smithy - Beeley - Derbyshire
http://www.aboutnottinghamshire.co.uk/
It was years since I last visited this eatery, and found it had changed hands, with Faye Mellor taking over in August 2012.
One thing I was delighted about - they believe in promoting local businesses, and this has even extended to having hand made Derbyshire tables, and Derbyshire log burner, coffee machine, place mats and cutlery.
The menu contained both snack and main meals and the staff were really attentive, which I like. I had planned just to have a sandwich, but the full roast meal on the next table looked so tempting I just had to have that, and it was fabulous!
In warm weather sitting outside on the little patio would be nice.
The only downside to this delightful place is the parking, which is definitely tricky, particularly when there are a lot of customers. One time when the walkers clearly had the advantage!
Now I just have to find an excuse to return and have another grand meal!
