The Chapel (formerly the Bowden) at Van Dyk - An exquisite dining experience. The atmosphere created by the sophisticated table settings, grand piano and illuminating light produced by the oval opulence of the three chandeliers ensures that 'The Chapel' w

We had always had a lovely meal at the Bowden Restaurant. Unfortunately the last time that we went there the meal was appalling. First off I asked for my favourite drink Prosecco unfortunately this had no fiz, so I complained to the bar staff who assured me that it was a fresh bottle, took my glass in the back and came back with a so called fresh glass this was the same and both were on the warm side. My husband and our two friends ordered fish and chips, the batter on the fish was soggy as if it had been microwaved, the chips were also soggy and the peas we're cold. We were the only ones in the restaurant since we decided to have a 4.00 meal. No one came to the table asking if the food was okay. The person behind the bar was busy wiping the cutlery and she wasn't happy any way that I had complained. So we paid up and left. On returning home I sent a message of complaint and was assured they did not microwave the food . I asked if perhaps the chef had not got the fat hot enough. We have often eaten at this restaurant and even had a private room for my husbands birthday, in March which was fantastic. They didn't really have any explanation why the food was like this.Thank you for reviewing our restaurant.We are so sorry we haven't met your expectations on this visit.Please contact Guest Services on 01246 387386RegardsVan Dyk Team

The fish is massive, flaky coated in crispy batter, we go most weeks travel from Bolsover to Clowne even though the two chippies in bolsover are very good.

Well this little place is a gem! What can I say other than brilliant tasty cakes and excellent coffee. The outside seating area is lovely and inside is nicely done, good tables and chairs in cosy well thought out surroundings. The menu is simple yet well thought through, and all the dishes we saw smelt and looked wonderful! We stopped for cakes and drinks, delicious Bakewell cherry cake.Our dog was allowed in which is a bonus and the staff were really lovely creating a very relaxed atmosphere.

Five of us booked for Sunday lunch. The staff were very understanding when I phoned to say that we'd had a hold up and would be 20 minutes late. Our food was nicely cooked apart from my daughter's creme brulee which tasted fine but the texture was rather grainy. 2 other desserts were shown on the menu with accompanying ice creams which turned out to be unavailable, so we had to have them with less interesting ice cream. My daughter regularly eats at this restaurant and assured us that this is a one off.Hi thank you for your review. We had a issue with one of the freezers so lost a lot of ice cream. Hense why we were short ice creamHopefully see you again

Just called in for drinks so canât comment on the food. The beer garden is lovely, even better on a sunny day. Great range of drinks and the service was excellent. Will soon return for a meal as the food looked great. Welcome addition to Clowne.

Rose and crown is in the heart of the village and has got the character and cosy feeling of a local village pub serving proper homemade hearty food for all the family. It also has a good selection of wines and beers. Reservations are advisable to avoid di

Nice pub, conveniently located just off J30 on the M1. Does an excellent Sunday Carvery. Their house beer is also quite nice.Staff seem nice too and I've been there on many occasions. Dropped 1 point because we and a few other people arrived fairly near to end of service (table was booked for then) and found they were nearly out of meat just turkey and a little pork left. People after us had no choice, and some veg were out but they were not keen to restock at that time. (I don't blame them but it seemed a little misjudged).Overall, still very happy, and will definitely be back.

We visited yesterday for a celebration meal. There were 9 people with some different dietary needs, vegan, gluten free, vegetarian, and meat eaters. We were all catered for with no problems. All the food was tasty, hot and presentation was first class. The service was excellent coming to clear the table and asking if more drinks were required just at the right moments. We also had the celebration cake made by the Elm Tree which was delicious. Many thanks to Chris, Sue and the waiting staff..Thank you for your kind review, how was the vegan chocolate mousse?Chris

I have already rated excellent and still do. However, having dined here five times in the last couple of months, I can now comment on some of the dishes.The sizzlers, lasagne, gammon, ham and eggs, salmon and poached fish are all superb.On a personal note-Great battered cod but still had skin on.The steak pie was a casserole with a lid of fragile pastry that shattered when you tried to put your fork in it. Otherwise very tasty.The Gumbo pepperpot to me was an expensive bowl of leftovers from other items on the menu.A bigger specials board would be good as then you don't always know what you're having before you get there.On a very personal note-they don't stock newcastle brown.Hi there, Thanks so much for your review, we're glad you enjoyed us enough to pop back so many times! We hope we can continue to allow you to try more of our dishes and find some more that do suit! It is often very interesting to hear different opinions on our dishes. Next week we will be changing our menu for our more autumnal selection, so we hope you will come again to try this menu too. Just for any future reference: We are always more than happy to take the skin off your fish and chips, please mention it next time. We take your note about the pies and are actually changing to a new recipe for the pie, it will be an all encompassed pie next time! And we just so happen to be taking the Gumbo off! - So I hope we have solved all the dishes that don't quite suit. We look forward to seeing you again in the future, Many Thanks! Olivia.
