The Florentine

Booked in for Christmas Dinner.Starters were OK, mains arrived an hour later, barely tepid with dry turkey and undercooked sprouts like bullets. Yorkshire,stuffing and other vegetables ok but had been out for a while.Had to ask for enough gravy, cranberry sauce etc. Sweets were almost inedible and most were left. Service extremely slow though the few staff did their best. Basically overpriced and under delivered, below average pub food , certainly not restaurant quality. Not one member of staff wore a mask!

Here for a two night stay and the staff make this place! They are friendly kind and helpful. The room is lovely and cosy but needs maintenance. I suspect it doesn’t help that there is no ventilation but the shower is the best I have ever had and the coffee is excellent. I would suggest that slippers and earplugs are provided. The location is good too and ample parking. All in all I would recommend. Booked again for March.

We booked a private room (no charge) for a family group for dinner. The room was ready on arrival, with a welcome drink. We had made advance choices from the Christmas menu. We ordered our wine from the list of modestly priced wines covering all the main regions. The meal was served without any undue delay even though it was the busy pre-Christmas period. The food was tasty, well-presented and freshly cooked, the downside being the sprouts which were surprisingly undercooked and quite hard, unusual with that vegetable! The privacy was welcome, particularly the absence of background noise, especially

The pub was lovely. Staff was very friendly. The pizzas were delicious and very good value. The room was clean and fine for the night we were staying there for. The room was surprisingly quiet considering their were full on Friday Eve going on downstairs. The continental breakfast was epic and a lot more that we expected.

I went to the Florentine for lunch with my mother, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was delicious, and fresh. The waiting staff were so friendly and polite, and very efficient. The young man that served us with blond hair was lovely and so was the lady with dark hair.
I had the asparagus and poached egg which was delightful, alongside a side of chargrilled veg. My mother had the vegetable salad served with Halloumi which she thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, and all food being served looked very nice indeed.
We sat outside which was pleasant. The interior

Beautiful atmosphere, lovely fresh ingredients pizza very tasty . Staff very welcoming and great service thank you 😊

Rather smart conversion of a large mansion. Bright and airy with a mainly open planned layout. Had a shock by the absence of hand pumps on the bar; they are located on the back wall. Two from the Marston range. Ringwood and Brakespere. Two empty pumps so maybe a wider range is usually available.

We had a nice stay here when we visited the Peak District and checked out some local jazz. There were a couple of niggles with the room but the staff were attentive and helpful so all good.
The building is lovely and the rooms are well appointed. The pub / restaurant downstairs is pleasant and lively, and the pizzas are excellent.
It's in a nice part of the town and very easy access to the Peaks so overall a great choice.

Called for some lunch after a hospital apt, was told only serving sandwiches which was a choice of three but turned out was a choice of two as didn’t have any chicken. Steak sandwich came and was very poor on two of the tiniest slices of bread, very poor for almost £10. Think they were in between changing menus but if you are doing a limited menu at least have the food in stock. Four lots of people walked out, won’t be returning again

Had a private room for 6 people very accommodating as its a small party!, great staff so lovely , food was amazing Would definitely recommend

CANNOT PRAISE THE STAFF ENOUGH. We used The Florentine for a 50th Wedding Anniversary surprise party. From the beginning the staff were extremely helpful. Beth dealt with our booking, and nothing was too much trouble. On the day of the party I dealt with Jake, who again was brilliant.
For the ‘do’ we chose to go for the Gold buffet option provided by The Florentine: the food was delicious; not your average sausage roll and cheese on sticks. There was way too much! We ended up take doggy bags home.
Price wise I would say it was excellent value for money (the room hire was free.) and would

Such a large outdoor space but each table private. the best staff who have been trained well…… polite, professional and knowledgeable…. Thank you

This is probably the first time I've ever written a negative review about a hospitality venue, however I think it outrageous to charge £8.95 for a Caesar salad and give this dish to customers with minimal salad on the plate. I suggest you give this dish a miss unless you're not hungry

Great food. Lovely place. Very good service. Beth served us and was exceptional. Thank you.

Limited menu and very slow service . Pizzas were great but were charged for all extras even on the free ones

Quite posh for a 2 for 1 pub, there is table service which is unusual in such a pub. The food was good, portions were quite large and it was served quite quickly. Very good value, would go again.
