The Tickled Trout

The Tickled Trout is a stylish, modern and, most of all, welcoming dining pub thanks to owner and chef, Chris Mapp, who couldn’t believe his luck when his local came up for sale after he returned from working in London. Chris and his team have worked with passion to transform a run-down pub into an establishment the village of Barlow can feel proud of. The dedicated team believes in using fresh ingredients sourced from known local suppliers they trust. Visitors to this award-winning pub are guaranteed a warm welcome, relaxed surroundings and top-notch food.

The comfy lounge and snug with a real log fire is perfect for a quiet pint or boozy hot chocolate. The dining area, which is housed in a light and airy conservatory with bi-fold windows, allows guests to enjoy a delicious meal in all seasons. The pub also offers the Top of the Trout function room, which is perfect for both private parties and meetings. The dedicated team can create tailored packages to suit individual requirements. Visitors can also take advantage of the recently renovated self-catering holiday cottages.

The menu offers fabulous choices ranging from traditional English classics to very popular Italian-inspired dishes. One of the team’s particular specialities is the day-boat fish pasta. This dish, unique to Derbyshire, uses fish that has been caught, landed and transported from Cornwall to the Tickled Trout for the chefs to use that same day – a taste of the sea right on the edge of the Peak District. There are even a few deals to be snapped up: Tuesday’s all-day offer of two sourdough pizzas for £15 plus a bottle of house wine for only £12.50 is unsurprisingly very popular.
