Thursday 7th November 2013
The Wingerworth Pub & Kitchen (formerly known as the Hunloke Arms) is to re-open tomorrow - Friday November 8th - following a £500,000 refurbishment.
The Grade II listed building, (above), on the A61 Derby Road, has been brought back to its former glory, on time and on budget, thanks to the painstaking work of a dedicated team.
Head Chef is Andrew Brookes, (above), who has previously achieved 3-Rosettes at the East Lodge in Rowsley and the New Ellington in Leeds. Andrew specialises in producing classic pub dishes with a modern twist to the highest standard.
 In addition to the usual range of drinks, they will also be offering 6 cask ales, including their very own unique "LokeAle 1643" (left), brewed especially by the North star Brewery.
The name was chosen by locals in an on-line competition and acknowledges the historic legacy of the building by its reference to Sir Henry Hunloke, the local lord who was ennobled by King Charles I in 1643 following the Battle of Edgehill.
 For those who enjoy a fine wine, in-house sommelier Simon Franklin (left), has assembled an extensive range of world wines for your appreciation.
Leo Jurkiw of Landlords Over the Moon Hospitality said, "I am absolutely delighted with the quality of the renovation, it has by far exceeded my expectations.
"It's now a beautiful building in a fabulous countryside setting just on the outskirts of Chesterfield. We'll be serving great drinks and fabulous food. Come and see us!"
