The Parkhouse is an unstuffy mix of old and new, constantly evolving, but always sticking to the basic philosophy of offering good service, excellent food, wine and beer in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Surrounded by well known local attractions such as Gullivers Kingdom and The Temple Mines in the nearby town of Matlock Bath and Crich Tramway Museum and Chatsworth House make the Parkhouse an ideal place to stop off whilst visiting. The ever changing real ales are sure to satisfy any thirsty visitor or why not try our popular carvery which is available on Wednesday and Sunday. The staff will always take pride in serving you in the style of a traditional English pub.

Parkhouse Colliery, after which the pub is named, was the scene of a disaster in 1882 when 45 lives were lost,and in the local cemetery a memorial was erected to the victims of that tragic disaster.

The mines have long since closed, and have been replaced by engineering and iron works. The nearby historic mining town of Clay Cross has busy shops and a Saturday market with new social and educational centres, library, sports amenities, including a swimming pool and sports complex with both indoor and outdoor facilities at Sharley Park.

The emphasis of Parkhouse is very much on families with a fantastic play area for the children, so adults can enjoy a peaceful drink without having to keep the kids entertained.
