Great food, fine cask ales and a warm Derbyshire welcome

The Church Inn Chelmorten

Refreshing locals and travellers alike since 1742

About The Church Inn

The Church Inn at Chelmorton stands opposite the village church and is as quintessentially English as a roaring fire on a snowy day or a meadow of buttercups on a summer’s day.

Without a doubt, in these hurly burly days of the 21st century, it’s so refreshing to find this tiny, unspoilt corner of an old England that’s fast disappearing.

At the Church Inn, you’ll be welcomed by Justin & Julie, who have been running the pub for many years (since the last century!), offering you traditional pub fare, cooked on the premises and sourced and produced locally whenever possible.

What can you expect?

Well, try roaring open fires in the winter, a beautiful sun trap of a beer garden and patio for summer al fresco dining, free wifi, 5 cask ales, and a pub quiz on most Mondays.

In a nutshell, The Church Inn offers excellent hospitality and food whilst still retaining that unique feel of a real traditional English pub. But don’t take our word for it, come and see for yourself.

Muddy paws & boots always welcome

The food was incredible and we kept going back when on our holiday. The staff are lovely, the menu is great and the atmosphere is a proper pub atmosphere. The beer selection is great, mixing local with further afield. A must if you’re in the area.

Lovely pub . We stayed at Farditch caravan site just down the road. We went here for drinks one afternoon then we ate there last night. Food was home cooked and delicious. We tried the local brew which was spot on .
