Best Family Restaurants in Wirksworth

"One of Nottingham's quirkiest bars, Pitcher & Piano can be found in a deconsecrated Unitarian church. Giving praise to all things drinking and dining, this magnificent space is the stuff of date night dreams. Whether you're popping in for a tasty lunch, or plan on spending the night getting better acquainted with the cocktail menu, the imposing architecture makes the place a special spot indeed."

"Modern chain bar serving beer, wine and cocktails, plus a menu of grazing plates and pub classics. High Pavement, Nottingham, NG1 1HNhttps://www.pitcherandpiano.com/bars/nottingham/Current seating availability: need to book (click here to book)"

"Restaurants are the obvious idea for a date, however Chiquito is one I would highly recommend a visit to. It’s a Mexican Restaurant, Bar and Grill offering a mass of tasty drinks and food, plus a sombrero to wear whilst you eat if you really want to get into the Mexican mood. If you download the Chiquitos app you get £10 off your food bill when you first sign up or 25% student discount all day everyday, perfect!"

"South of the border' passion is always served up at Chiquito. A menu of bold Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is prepared however the diner likes it. Burritos, sizzling fajitas and tacos can all be customised for vegetarians or those wanting more spice."

"Pop in and kick start your day with our tender steak + eggs for breakfast. Or sit back and enjoy one of our succulent steaks, available throughout the day ‘til late. All our classic cuts are hand cut by our expert chefs on-site, so you can have your…"

"The lounges in West Bridgford, Beeston and Mansfield, have a separate vegan menu so there's no confusion what you can and can't have. Choose a falafel-fuelled vegan breakfast with hash browns, beans, tomato, mushrooms, spinach and roasted peppers, a 'bacon' butty or avocado on ciabatta with lime and chilli. The rest of the menu at the all-day and night-time venues has dishes such as a pulled jackfruit burger, supremely healthy supergreen salad, a Mexican superbowl or a vegan BLT."

"The Lounges are a group of modern, fun and slightly quirky restaurants. “What is it that people love best about Lounging?"

"Finally you'll be able to sit down and eat a burger at the Fat Hippo, one of the restaurants to open slap bang in the middle of lockdown. Burger lovers have been able to get a takeaway from the restaurant in Broad Street, Hockley, since it opened in December 2020, but from April 12 there will be outdoor dining. In front of the restaurant will be seating for 36 people and the full menu - burgers, fries, sides and desserts - will be served."

"The Vietnamese restaurant opened its outside seating area at the end of April but has yet to welcome customers inside for the full experience of traditional and street food in Nottingham city centre. What used to be Martin & Co on the corner of Friar Lane and Maid Marian Way has been revamped and given a vibrant, colourful new look. The menu kicks off with breakfast - a skillet with steak, pate, egg, salted shredded pork, onions and bread; meatballs, bamboo shoots and noodle soup and a Banh Mi, a baguette with pork, pate, cucumber and sour carrot."

"Black Rocks is located between Cromford and Wirksworth and is easily accessible from the High Peak Trail. The rocks provide panoramic views across the Derwent valley towards Matlock Bath and Riber castle."

"I love Bestwood Country Park because of the variety of beautiful landscape and wildlife that lives here. It also provides a glimpse into Nottinghamshire’s industrial heritage, as it was once home to one of the busiest coal mines in the UK. The 650 acres of parkland are free to visit and the car park is also free to use."

"Described as a magnificent 17th-century ducal mansion, Nottingham Castle sits atop cliffs 40m (130ft) high, offering fabulous views of the city. Originally built in 1067 by William the Conqueror and then rebuilt by a series of other kings, Nottingham Castle is embedded in history. Offering a medieval-to-modern British and European art collection, this ancient building has a lot of culture for visitors who wish to take a step back from the energetic city life."

"Once spoken of in the same terms as the Tower of London and Windsor Castle, Nottingham Castle looks over the city from its high sandstone crag known as Castle Rock. As with many strongholds in England the castle was torn down in the wake of the English Civil War to prevent it being re-used. Afterwards Henry Cavendish, the 2nd Duke of Newcastle, built the Baroque Ducal Mansion on the remains and in 1878 the Nottingham Castle Museum opened in this building."
