Located in the grounds of Eyam Hall, a historic Elizabethan manor in deepest Derbyshire, is The Stables at Eyam, a delightful first-floor restaurant that overlooks the Hall's gardens and the world famous Plague Cottages.

Managing Director and Executive Chef Eric Boocock, together with Restaurant Manager and daughter-in-law Hannah Rowett ensure the restaurant always offers a relaxed atmosphere to diners. This they achieve through the use of gently-lit exposed wooden beams and stone walls, church candles, and tiny tea lights that make the dining area look magical when complemented by soothing music.

Chef Boocock offers exciting Anglo-Mediterranean dishes on the à la carte that could bring starters of crab and sweet-potato cakes with smoked paprika mayonnaise followed by hearty whole-tenderloin of pork en croute with prosciutto, cheddar, and thyme, or halloumi-filled baked pepper with chilli dressing and pine nuts.

End with a fantastic caramel apple pie served with thick dairy cream. A short but well-defined wine list supports the menu. The ground floor Eyam Hall Buttery offers fresh bakery products, jacket potatoes, panini, baguettes, and brunches.
