Restaurant

Where field meets fork in a setting steeped in history.
Home to Hardwick Sporting Events since 1928.
At the heart of Hardwick Sporting Events is our 16th-century country restaurant, a place where guests gather after a day in the field to unwind, reflect, and enjoy exceptional food. Known locally for its charm, character, and deep ties to the land, our restaurant serves as both the culinary and cultural HQ for all we do.

A True Taste of the Countryside

We specialise in seasonal, game-based cuisine, drawing inspiration from our shoots, stalks, and landscapes that surround us. From roast pheasant to venison pie, every dish celebrates the field-to-fork ethos that underpins our sporting values. Whether you’ve spent the day on a peg or simply dropped in for dinner, you’ll find a menu rooted in heritage and flavour.

Locally Sourced & Chef-Prepared

Our chefs work closely with local producers, foragers, and butchers — many of whom we’ve known for decades — to bring you the very best of the Peak District. With a focus on fresh ingredients and traditional techniques, we serve hearty, honest food with modern polish.

A Warm Welcome, Every Time

Whether you're enjoying a quiet lunch after a stalk or hosting a group after a simulated game day, our team offers genuine country hospitality. Expect roaring fires in winter, garden views in summer, and a relaxed atmosphere year-round.

Private Dining & Event Catering

Looking to host a celebration, meeting, or group meal after a day in the field? Our private dining options and bespoke catering packages are perfect for teams, syndicates, and corporate events. We’ll take care of everything — from tailored menus to fine local wines and ales.
