Restaurants in Chesterfield

Derbyshire, and the Peak District in particular, is a major food-producing area, with rare breed livestock, cheeses like Stilton, and plenty of fruits and vegetables grown, as well as ales being made in the area. In recent years, Chesterfield's restaurants have sparked a local food revival, sourcing more and more ingredients from farmers nearby. That's great news for gourmet food fans, with delicacies such as Sage Derby cheeses, authentic Bakewell tarts or a hearty bowl of Derbyshire lobby hotpots on offer. If local food is your thing, Chesterfield's restaurants will be a complete revelation...

However, even though the local food is delicious, sometimes more exotic cuisine is hard to resist. If you adore Thai, Chinese or south Asian cooking, Chesterfield's restaurants won't let you down. You can tuck into Nepalese curries featuring barbecued chicken or innovations from further south like squid masala. Order up a pad thai or Szechuan chicken, and let the aromas and spices transport you across the globe after one mouthful.

Then again, Chesterfield's restaurants also offer no shortage of places to enjoy a traditional roast or a plate of fish and chips. Head to country pubs in the Peaks to enjoy lamb that's falling off the bone, or stay in town for succulent steaks, potatoes roasted in duck fat and locally-grown parsnips, carrots and greens (as well as gallons of rich, aromatic gravy). There's no better way to get your family or friends together, whether it's for a special occasion or just your average weekend in Chesterfield.

When a birthday or special celebration calls for only the classiest cuisine, why not check out Chesterfield's range of continental cuisine? It may not be Paris or Milan, but the city has attracted European chefs who can cook a delicious confit duck and a formidable fettuccine alfredo. Go for decadent pork belly-based meals, or try something lighter like couscous and quinoa salads. Oh, and don't forget dessert because Chesterfield's European restaurants offer devilish parfaits and panna cotta - the perfect conclusion to an evening of gourmet delights.
