A Chesterfield gastropub has been added to the Michelin guide, putting it amongst the best restaurants in the country.

The Bulls Head, Holymoorside, was awarded with an Inspectors addition into The Great Britain and Ireland selection of the guide in July.

Being listed in the prestigious guide amongst the best restaurants in the country is an accolade Mark Aisthorpe Patron and Head Chef has dreamed of from the moment he took the reigns.

The Michelin Guide documents The Bulls Head as having gained a “Strong following for being Gastronomically adventurous and having a passionate team who make a real effort to welcome their guests. The kitchen shows great ambition within the pub surroundings, with a tasting menu available alongside a la carte.  The chefs show great skill in spotlighting their quality produce like the super fresh wild sea bass cooked to perfection. Well-appointed bedrooms complete their appealing overall package.”

The Bulls Head is set in a traditional village pub on the edge of the Peak District National Park and has a widespread reputation for fine dining. Their overall aim is to provide a high-quality dining experience using produce that is fresh, seasonal and locally sourced.

Mark Aisthorpe, Patron, said: “I am totally overwhelmed and in gratitude to Michelin Guide for this prestigious award which recognises our dedication to quality, innovation and excellence within the culinary world.

“The hard work staff and I have put into achieving this honour is a testament to our commitment in providing an exceptional dining experience. I am so proud of what the Bulls Head stands for and the magnificent efforts of each and every member of the team.  I can’t thank Michelin Guide enough for this amazing accolade.”
