The Midland

Visited last Saturday. The pub wasn't busy. The only time the barmaid spoke was to ask what my order was. When she gave me my drinks she just aimed the card machine at me. When I asked how much the drinks were she just turned the machine around and pointed to the figure. £21 for two vodkas. Overpriced to say the least, seemed like a nice pub but nothing special. Goodness knows what I might have been charged if she had had to speak more than 5 or 6 words!

Car park is an absolute joke. Took 40 minutes to sign up and pay for parking. A gathering of 14 of us all had roast dinners. Only good thing on the plate was the beef. Was just literally a pile of cabbage chopped too finely. Like a leprechaun had swapped his pile of gold for sweetcorn and the rainbow finished on my plate. Covered in yellow nuggets that looked dried fruit. Waited 10 minutes for gravy to come out which wasn’t bad. But had to pay a fortune for a glass of flat coke to wash down the absolutely shocking dinner. 2 new skin on potatoes. 2 what looked like rabbit Tod size pieces of stuffing. Highly recommend to avoid at all cost. Park on main road an have some good fish n chips. If you want a Sunday roast. Stay at home. Processed chicken n microwave mash would sell better.

Had a fantastic experience today at the Midland. Walked in without booking on Mother’s Day and they catered for a party of 14, very polite and helpful staff and a lovely Sunday Roast.. Beautiful Gravy! Walkability: Very close to the Heights of Abraham and car park, close to all other attractions in Matlock Bath

Don’t waste your money on the Sunday roast very disappointing it’s basically just a plate of vegetables. Food & drinks: Food isn’t worth the money and drinks very expensive

Fantastic food Fantastic staff Fantastic location if I lived closer I'd use this place every day

Food & drinks: Pretty expensive! They charged us £9 for a double espresso and it didn’t even taste like one. Best is to skip this place.

Great Sunday lunch as always. Definitely worth a visit x

Nice pub in Matlock bath. Beers kept well.
