What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Remarkable Hare is widely praised for its exceptional food quality and generous portions, with many diners calling their meals the 'nicest family meal in a long time'. The pub is also lauded for its friendly and attentive staff, and its welcoming atmosphere, particularly for dog owners. While most reviews are glowing, one diner found the food and service to be just 'OK' and not outstanding, suggesting other venues might be preferred.
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I recently had the pleasure of enjoying an absolutely fantastic Sunday lunch at the Remarkable HARE in Matlock. Every section of the plate was expertly cooked and beautifully presented, making for a delightful dining experience.
To top it all off, the service was exceptional. A huge shoutout to Michael Thompson for creating such a wonderful atmosphere and inviting me to this gem of a place.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an amazing meal!
And to top it off, what a fantastic drive through the Chatsworth Estate."

"Came here with a large group of friends today. We had pre ordered our food in advance so service was really quick.
The restaurant is very light and airy with a lovely feeling.
There's a great choice on the menu with some interesting options.
The food was absolutely delicious with massive portion sizes. The pizzas are almost big enough for 2.
Recommend the Pecan pie for dessert.
Prices were good and about what you'd expect. Staff are all so helpful and friendly."

Cafes in Peak District - Adventure Bike Rider Forum
A mate and I are heading to the Peak District for the first time and are planning to enjoy as many of the roads we can fit into a weekend. We turn up in all manner of eateries in the Dales on dirt bikes or Adv bikes and never been turned away. Generally I avoid any place that is ‘biker friendly’ as the food is usually a ‘sub standard calorie laden offering’ and much prefer quality food when paying a handsome price - plus the place is full of noisy bikes
Beautiful Peak District village where you can ride cable car and visit one of the 'best' parks in UK that ‘feels more like Switzerland than England’
You can find the likes of 16oz Chateau for two, rib eye, heart of the rump, and sirloin served with either peppercorn, melted Birchover blue cheese, or Diane sauce. The pub also serves a range of tapas including patatas bravas, Pil pil tiger prawn skewers, and BBQ pulled pork arancini. But don’t worry, they also have pub classics such as fish and chips, the Remarkable steak and local ale pie, and pan roasted chicken supreme.
08/03/25 – Matlock
A quick 8 minute stroll took me to The Remarkable Hare which opened its doors in August 2016. The building has quite the history, originally serving the hotel industry before it was transformed from the Olde English Hotel into a pub. This kind of repurposing is pretty common in tourist spots like Matlock, where older structures are updated to fit current needs.

Officially it's Artists corner car park to the slalom course finish. I think the EA put the access 'steps' in at Darley Dale but there has always been a bit of dispute over that spot. I've launched there a dozen times with no problems so you are probably just unluky.

The portion sizes are incredible...so much so that I took half of it home. The next day we went again and I had a pizza sandwich which was great. Both times we took family who were visiting from the USA, and they said it was the best food of the entire trip.
