German themed bar and restaurant. I've not tried the food - but if you like imported lager, beer, craft ales and such you'll be stuck for choice! They serve Hitachino which is my favourite imported Japanese beer.

Sightseeing

Sutton Scarsdale was once a rather stunning country home, with an estate being on this location for hundreds of years. Today it stands a ruin, but its free and on sunny days has a great outlook over the hills. Currently undergoing restoration.

Famous country house and gardens worth a visit if you've never been. It gets very busy in the summer at weekends, so plan ahead! You can always park at the garden centre and walk to the main house, which is usually easier.
