Sticky Beaks Best Bits Of 2015 (Part 4 of 6)

2015 was an incredible year and I got to eat some spectacular food. Here is a list of what I feel were the highlights (in no particular order): Please excuse the awful punctuation, I am trying to keep it brief; you can always read the full review of a particular venue by clicking on the links.

I'm going to do this over six sections, the first five sections will be 25 places to eat and the last section will be something different.

Here we go with part 4, the next five places to eat :)



The Samuel Fox country Inn, Bradwell.

James Duckett, the Chef, is a whizz. The lamb I had was sublime, and the beef cheek was equally stunning.



Tom Yum, Belper.

Great setting and really tasty Thai food too.



The Dog Inn, Pentrich.

A real country pub that does great food. Also does a fab lunch menu too, and bar meals if you fancy something more relaxed.



Made @ No 18, Alfreton.

Amazing little cafe that not only does tasty lunchtime treats but does a flipping brilliant brekkie too. I cannot wait to try out one of their Bistro nights in 2016.



The Devonshire Arms, Pilsley.

The Saltbeef Hash is out-of-this-world, and the setting is also pretty good on the Chatsworth estate. I need to stay in the bed that you have to climb steps to get into, and hopefully I will get to do this in 2016.
