Great pub. Friendly atmosphere. Warm welcome. Quality well looked after beer. Doesn’t do food, but so what? It’s not a restaurant. If you appreciate beer and a friendly landlord, this is a pub for you.
Decided to visit this pub after arriving in Matlock on the train. Long climb up a very steep hill which took about 20 minutes walking. It was worth it. Lovely little pub with two bar rooms, and outdoor seating with fantastic views over Matlock, and out to Riber Castle. Service was welcoming and efficient, and the beer was well kept - a nice pint of Old Trip by Hardy and Hanson, along with a substantial chip butty.
Loved the pub, loved the dogs in the pub, it really gives everything a bit of character! The service was great and everyone here is pretty friendly!
Well what can I say!! After walking up what must have been a mile of hills we were treated to a fantastic welcome and beautiful pints of Bass. The locals were fantastic and when we left they gave us a little thorn tree momento. We will be back for sure !
Ruddy great! I'm a fat lad from Yorkshire and have in my time each en many a pie. These are banging, packed to the rafters with meaty filth. If I was a grizzly bear I could now easily hibernate until next Spring. Superb brown booze to wash it down as well.
Excellent Sunday roast, friendly staff and good selection of beers. Pub with a view 5* all day long
Amazing views make the journey up the hill to the Thorn Tree worth it. Surprisingly small but beautiful interior, and the outside seating is perfect to take in the view. It is currently a Greeneking pub and while they have several guests on, the real ale choice is .... a bit regional. External pristine quaint toilets.
