A scary trip over the hills from Chesterfield in the snow was rewarded once we landed at the lovely and atmospheric Harrington Arms. We hadn’t booked and were relieved to find we could get a table, in a small but cosy room with an open fire just off the well stocked bar. Being St Patrick’s night, Guinness was ordered and was going down extremely well, with a Fentiman’s Rose lemonade on the side, while we checked out the menu.
Veeerrry nearly went for the kedgeree from the specials menu, but the fish, chips and mushy peas with a deliciously chunky homemade tartare sauce just won out.
More Guinness was ordered, and finally began to relax in the warmth of this great little pub. The fish and chips came - and disappeared pretty quickly, delicious crunchy beer batter and thick white fish with proper chips and the tastiest mushy peas...
A flat white was ordered while I finished the Guinness, then regretfully we started out, back into the blizzard, after paying the ridiculously small bill.
Everything a pub should be - well kept beers, great food, attentive service and a lovely natural atmosphere. It’s a big fat YES from me!
Great find. Just off the main road and all but hidden. Bags of character. Sunday lunch totally home cooked and top quality. Not on our doorstep but gone in the black book for future use.

Just popped to the Harrington arms for somewhere to go on a Saturday afternoon. Absolutely lovely place, with a beautiful outdoor space. And, my freshly made pizza was fantastic! Exceptionally friendly staff too. X
