Devonshire Arms

Devonshire Arms Review

This stone 18th-century coaching inn, which counts Charles Dickens as one of its many famous visitors, is divided into a cozy bar area and a modern brasserie, both serving impressive homemade fare. Alongside old favorites like bangers and mash, the menu offers such imaginative creations as tempura skate wing and duck ham in a lobster sauce, or roast partridge with chorizo and potato cakes. For dessert, try the rice pudding with raisins and orange marmalade. There's an excellent snack menu, too. The inn, 2 miles south of Chatsworth, also has eight bedrooms.
