The The Palfrey At New Inn Menu delivers a refined countryside dining experience that blends British tradition with contemporary elegance. Nestled in the charming village of Milford, Belper, at Hopping Hill, this gastropub-turned-destination-restaurant has carved out a reputation for thoughtful plates and seasonal precision.
From the moment you’re seated, it’s evident that The Palfrey takes pride in ingredient sourcing and presentation. The starters set a sophisticated tone-options like the ham hock terrine or the delicate beetroot-cured salmon show off local produce and solid kitchen technique. For mains, the Derbyshire beef cuts are standouts, perfectly cooked and accompanied by imaginative vegetable sides and rich reductions. Vegetarians and pescatarians aren’t afterthoughts either, with the roasted squash risotto and pan-fried sea bream offering balance and depth.
The menu itself is structured yet flexible, often rotating with the seasons to reflect what’s fresh and available. This keeps repeat visits exciting while also showcasing the kitchen’s adaptability. Portion sizes strike a fine balance between indulgence and restraint, ideal for a three-course experience. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding is a must-comforting yet polished.
What elevates The Palfrey beyond its peers is the synergy between food, location, and service. Housed in a beautifully restored inn with rustic beams and modern accents, it strikes the right chord between warmth and upscale charm. Staff are knowledgeable about the dishes and confident in offering pairing recommendations from the carefully curated drinks list.
Compared to other rural gastropubs, The Palfrey stands out for its attention to culinary detail without veering into pretension. It’s equally suited for date nights or special occasion dinners. With a menu that evolves, a consistent level of execution, and a picturesque location, this spot is well worth the journey into the Derbyshire hills.
