We are excited to share some fantastic news that has brought a real spring to our step. We have once again received prestigious recognition in both the Michelin Guide 2025 and the Good Food Guide, which reflects our commitment to creating exceptional dining experiences. Additionally, the AA has recognised us among the top hotels across the UK for 2025, further solidifying our reputation nationally and internationally for outstanding hospitality.
Our achievements over the past year have been incredibly gratifying, and we are excited to share we are now open seven days a week, welcoming guests to enjoy exquisite lunch and dinner experiences. See website for full opening times.
All this has filled us with a tremendous feeling of gratitude and enthusiasm along with renewed optimism for what lies ahead for us this year at Fischer’s Baslow Hall. This recognition offers us a moment to pause and reflect on the extraordinary journey we have embarked upon so far.
John Shuttleworth has officially taken over the reins as Head Chef at Fischer’s. Having worked at the restaurant for only 2 years, he has recently introduced an exciting new 10-course tasting menu, in addition to the a-la carte lunch and dinner menus. Highlighting the finest seasonal ingredients and an array of tantalising flavours. Each dish celebrates his personal creativity and style, reflecting his unique individuality and artistic vision. This marks an exciting journey of rediscovery for him, characterised by a vibrant exploration of flavours and innovative culinary techniques. His commitment to crafting unforgettable dining experiences for our valued guests remains stronger than ever as he continues to push the boundaries of taste and creativity in our kitchen.
We are excited to announce our ambitious grow plans, expanding our kitchen garden, which will significantly boost our capacity to cultivate a wider variety of fresh produce. Under the expert guidance of our dedicated Head Gardener, Kim Orwin, we are committed to enhancing our growing practices. Kim’s deep passion for horticulture and her collaborative efforts with our talented kitchen team enable us to transform the fruits of our labour into award-winning dishes that delight our guests. We are dedicated to improving our sustainability efforts. This journey not only enhances our offerings but also strengthens our connection to the land and the community we serve.
Over the past year, we proudly launched our stunning new summer terrace with the support of Castelnau, LVMH, Gusbourne, and Bentley UK. This vibrant space will re-open this May with some exciting new announcements. We will introduce a delightful terrace menu featuring seasonal dishes specially crafted for outdoor dining by John Shuttleworth. Weather permitting, we hope to serenade our guests with the enchanting sounds of live music. This melodic backdrop will create a warm and inviting atmosphere, encouraging joyous interactions and memorable moments for all who visit us.
Neil Fischer, Managing Director, Fischer’s Baslow Hall said :-
“I am profoundly grateful for the unwavering dedication, relentless tenacity, and heartfelt commitment to service demonstrated by every member of our Fischer family, many of whom have been with us for years. Their devotion and determination to provide the very best have earned us global recognition for outstanding excellence.
This recognition has made us a highly sought-after partner for esteemed brands such as Castelnau, LVMH, Bentley UK, and Gusbourne, further affirming our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our service within this dynamic industry.
Each individual at Fischers plays a vital role in our success story, and we take immense pride in being recognised as Derbyshire's highest awarded restaurant and most esteemed boutique hotel. We are known for our luxurious accommodations and exceptional culinary offerings. Head Chef, John Shuttleworth, along with his talented kitchen brigade, works tirelessly to produce the finest quality sustainable food available, much of which is grown here at Baslow Hall or sourced from local producers in Derbyshire, ensuring an authentic taste of the Peak District.
These are very exciting times for us all and we are so grateful to all of those who come on this journey with us”.
