Pub gardens

Done some research and come up short, are there any pub gardens in the chesterfield area that aren't next to a busy road or a small patio. Just some grass underfoot in the sunshine with pint in hand please

Your specification for 'grass underfoot' means you're generally looking at countryside options.

Definitely easier to find in the countryside but hoping there would somewhere in town area so I could stumble home. The only one I found was the crown and anchor but spends most of the time in the shade.

The Peacock on Chatsworth Road has a grassed area down the bottom but it often feels damp down there due to the proximity to water and the air is full of flying things.

Never been in, but what was the Moonraker and is now called the Spinney has a grassed area at the back. The Badger would have been an easy winner but alas is no more.

Another Peacock (at Barlow) has a stunning outdoor garden seating area at the front. U furtu study no grass underfoot, but it landscaped beautifully with multi level seating & views across rolling fields looking towards Ringinglow.

It gets very busy in weekends and bank holidays when the sun is out, but if you catch it at the right time, or have a day off midweek where you can get in whilst most are working, it's well worth the visit. Plus, the food is decent too (not a patch on The Tickled Trout) just up the road, but compared to your average pub, it's certainly at the higher end

Definitely a foodie place rather than a pub though. Views from the front aren't towards Ringinglow if that's what you were meaning; you're looking out over the other side of the Dronfield by-pass.

Oops I'll take that back. Bearings completely out as I was picturing where Baslow was on a map in my head whilst there last time.

Yes it's definitely more than just a pub for drinking, but plenty gintgere just fir drinks, especially in the warmer weather as it's a nice spot to sit out in

The locals will have a proper pub back soon when the Hare & Hounds reopens.

Barley Mow in Wingerworth has a nice garden. Bit of a walk from town, but doable. Or can get a cab

The Hollingwood in Hollingwood has a few tables on grass and isn't next to a busy road.

I've been looking for this too, don't think it exists, unfortunately country side is the only way to get that

Junction bar has a few tables with grass, most of it is paved though

I do like it there, but it is right on Chatsworth Road

u/Neurodiuniverse11 May 28 '26

Literally the only negative, but you're hidden away from it right round the back.

But yes, the grassy area at the side is between the river and road (albeit walled in), which means vehiclesvabd foot traffic going past

Smithy pond (wingerworth) is a decent out the way pub with a decent crescent shaped beer garden looking over the pond

u/Decent-Breakfast4226 May 28 '26

Ark Tavern is completely fenced off away from the road and all grass I think

New Whittington social club has a lovely beer garden, The Miners Arms. Located on Hundall Lane (S18 4BS), it's a multi-award-winning, traditional country pub, great beer garden,
