Old Post Restaurant in Chesterfield

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant for years but always cried off so since it is now open again my partner and I visited last night. Why have I waited so long is now my cry. It's a fantastic setting for dinner but that belies the quality of the food. We both started with the scallop and chorizo with pea puree, a simple starter but easily spoiled. The scallops were cooked perfectly and it was nice they were served with the roe, the chorizo crisp and with a paprika flavour that goes so well with scallops. The pea puree was as smooth as you could want. Round 1, clean plates!For main course I chose the fillet beef and madam chose the smoked cod loin. My beef was cooked to perfection and she said the cod was the same but with a not overpowering smoking. The little eye-opener on mine was the mushroom pastie that was served with it. My fillet melted in the mouth and both mains were neither too large or too small. Round 2, clean plates. I had a desert but madam chose to just have coffee. I chose the date and hazelnut pudding with a black treacle sauce and ice cream. The pudding was light and full of flavour, the sauce heavy with black treacle went perfectly and the ice cream rounded dessert so well that I only took an after photo. With 2 coffees and a nice bottle of 2016 Rioja and a bill of just over £110 for both of us we will be visiting again, very soon! P.S madam always gets effusive over napkins and I'm pleased to report proper linen used here.

Loved it food was amazing well worth the money lovely lady front of house very welcoming .

I hadn’t realised that this restaurant had reopened. Had a Thursday night dinner with friends.The interior of the restaurant is lovely and homely - and a nice family welcome.The menu was very classic and lots of great choice.The food was amazing - and for Chesterfield this is rare. Top drawer - and will not disappoint:Wine was good , puddings delicious.Overall a cut above the rest for little old Chesterfield - well worth a booking.Good luck Dee & Chef Martin

Five star food. Three star ambience. If the interior could be modernised it would better complement the excellent, well-executed modern menu.

Stunning place. Food, service & atmosphere is perfect

Even though The Old Post are only offering collect meals, the quality still remains the same along with a excellent price. 👏👏👏 Martin and Delia. Can’t wait to visit your restaurant once restriction have been lifted.

Fantastic food and great front of house, resulted in a wonderful meal. We had 3 courses, with each being flawless - high quality ingredients, cooked and presented well! Highly recommend a visit, and will certainly be back soon. Save room for desert, the Crème brûlée was delicious.

Can't recommend enough. Wonderful food thoroughly enjoyed so did the rest of the diners in that night. Staff amazing.

The experience was not for us the prices are sky high and the food wouldn't fill a child couldn't wait to go macdonalds after

Recently under new management, and possibly will take some time to adapt. Food not as good as it was, and service depended greatly on who was serving you.
