Lamplight Restaurant Ltd — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

On entering the historic building, sympathetically brought up to date, we were met with a warm welcome and shown to a table. The autumn menu seemed to cater for all tastes, with a particularly interesting selection of starters, some traditional, some more " in vogue".

We then both had duck which likewise was excellent. A main each, two large glasses of wine and a starter came to a very reasonable shade over £50.
