The Old Smithy

Located a mile or so from Chatsworth House in the delightful village of Beeley, The Old Smithy serves excellent, freshly prepared, home-cooked food; plus good wines, locally brewed bottled beers, high quality teas and good coffees.

Great Food Club has eaten here a number of times (we stop to grab a bite during this nine-mile walk) and it’s always clear that the Old Smithy team put a lot of effort into their local ingredient sourcing, cooking and service. From the homemade biscuit you get with your cappuccino, to the fabulous vegetarian dishes, to the fat, juicy burgers – everything is of a good quality and well prepared. That goes for the tempting range of homemade cakes, too.
