Meadowfresh of Chesterfield — Restaurant in Chesterfield

Went to Meadowfresh at Dobbies garden centre at Barlborough. Normally I never go to the counter as pork pies are displayed in the large fridges. So I stood at the end of the glass counter where the pork pies are located. The worker was at the other side of the counter area, which he could see me, he then proceeded to go to the back and get a mop, came back and started mopping the floor then proceeded to take the mop back. He came back round and instead of a greeting he said “Are you waiting for a bus” which I replied no not today.

I won’t be visiting this place again and wouldn’t recommend it either! I spent £45.00 on this joint which had to go...

Got a steak & Stilton pie off my sister in law for my Christmas gift. Ate it tonight with my wife , daughter and son inlaw and two grandkids....absolutely the best pie we've ever eaten, plenty of Stilton, beautiful meat and fantastic pastry. 1st class doesn't cover it with the glory it deserves. I've seen someone saying £25 is a bit steep, you'd get easily 6 large portions out of the pie, that works out at £4-17 per portion. IMHO it's an absolute bargain, I wish it was a bit nearer to me is my only issue. Move your shop and...
