Dog & Partridge by Chef & Brewer Collection

Went for a special meal with my father, but we came away disappointed. My father had the Ox Cheeks (plural on the menu) but there was only one, so surely it should be listed as an Ox cheek?? Had it been large, then maybe it could be forgiven, but it wasn't particularly large at all. He said it tasted really nice though and there was a good selection of vegetables with it, although he said the sprouts were watery so were probably frozen. I had the grilled Sea Bass with Broccoli, Peas & New potatoes. The Sea Bass skin was soft and soggy and certainly didn't look like it had been grilled. There were 3 of the smallest Broccoli florets ever, and none of them were as big as my thumb. The peas only just covered the bottom of the deep dish plate and they werent fresh but frozen peas. As for the new potatoes, there were two cut in half. Very poor value for £18.49. We also both had a half pint of coke each and these were almost £3 each, thats £6 a pint........for coke?? That's dearer than Beer!!! It's no wonder pubs are struggling if they can't offer value for money. And be assured, this IS just a pub, not a Michelin star restaurant as it almost likes to put itself across as. Not the worse place I have been, but very poor value since the last time I visited here.

This isn’t my first visit to the Dog and Partridge. A beautiful building with a very warm welcome. We stayed in Tutbury for four nights at the Dog. The rooms are wonderful, made by the age of the building. Packed full of character. The bedrooms are large and spacious and each one is unique. 17th Century coaching houses weren’t built uniformly… The beds are large and comfortable and for a very cold winter stay they are very warm.. Food at the hotel is good and there is a great selection of ales to choose from. The warm welcome from everyone makes a stay here a special stay be it the staff or villagers who use the bar as their local. I must highlight Lucy and Curtis for their standout manner in which they dealt with a large group of customers who undeservingly felt it necessary to complain. They both acted in an exceptionally professional manner and calmly and efficiently bought the complaint made to a swift and satisfactory end. They are both a credit to the team at the D&P. I am already looking forward to my next visit and I will definitely stay here again

The dog and partridge is a gorgeous quintessential English hotel with all the quirkiness you would expect in a 500 year old building. We stayed in room 4 'the secret room' and it was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding. Mark looked after us very well. Tutbury itself is a pretty little village with antique shops and coffee shops. I will definitely be staying in this hotel again when next in the area.

Excellent service, very friendly and relaxed, fantastic location and historical building, quality service and exceptional food, only pop in with family for food, but looking to book a room for a weekend with additional family members, absolutely superb

Excellent service from start to finish mark and the team are amazing nothing ever an issue we will be returning. They have a great selection of food for everybody and the drinks menu is also good to choice from. Keep up the hard work and we will definatly be returning

This was my first time staying here and I was so impressed. The staff were all so lovely and accommodating, they were more than happy to help. The food was great and the service we received was perfect. The room itself was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
