Food & Drink Awards 2017

www.lux.acquisition-intl.com 18 LUX - Food & Drink Awards 2017 Best Tapas Style Cuisine - Derbyshire Opened in July 2016, the Bridge Inn is a very personal expression of how the owners love to share time with family and friends and is certainly a break from the norm. They handpicked every piece of furniture, almost all of the art is their own and individual touches are evident everywhere including a menu which includes innovative interpretations of dishes they love. Fresh produce is at the fore, with local produce used where possible, or, when it comes to items like the Iberico Ham, they source the best direct from Spain. Food is served tapas style, as all food is cooked to order and each dish arrives when it is ready in small plate format which allows guests the opportunity to enjoy and share more flavours and explore food they might not normally try. The “Humble Cauliflower” dish has been a revelation as has the innovative interpretation of the old classic fish and chips. Neither is what people expect but they have become standard bearers for our continued menu development, great core ingredients cooked perfectly and served simply with complimentary flavours that elevate, surprise and excite. Best Tapas Style Cuisine - Derbyshire The Bridge Inn, operated by Inn Ideas Ltd, is dedicated to innovating, refining and redefining pub food without the price tag and pretentiousness often associated with quality food and wine.

Company: The Bridge Inn Contact: David McHattie Contact Email: info@ thebridgecalver.co.uk Address: Calver Bridge, Hope Valley, Derbyshire, S32 3XA, UK Phone: 01433 442479 FO170016 Parent company Inn Ideas is a family business which runs two pubs in the heart of the beautiful Peak District close to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, UK. The first, the Devonshire Arms, Baslow, has been operating by Inn Ideas for five years, and offers more traditional pub food. When the Bridge Inn, which was desperately in need of investment, became available 1.5 miles down the road, owners Samantha and David McHattie knew they wanted to offer locals and tourists something different. This passion extends beyond the food. Amazing wines all available by the glass - three sizes are available - and a pricing policy that means amazing quality wines are a fraction of the normal cost. Gins are individually garnished to accentuate the key botanicals and beers are lovingly tended to offer consistently high-quality, crystal clear ales. Ultimately, the Bridge Inn offers a wonderful relaxed environment, that has brought a tired pub bang up to date with food and drink that is accessible to locals, walkers and their dogs, tourists and people celebrating a special occasion, without the barriers and price tag typical of food and wine this good. “...awonderful relaxed environment, that has brought a tired pub bang up to datewith food and drink that is accessible to locals, walkers and their dogs, tourists and people celebrating a special occasion, without the barriers and price tag typical of food andwine...”
