Tucked away in the heart of Palterton, The Pickled Pear Pub & Eatery is a true hidden gem. Set inside the beautifully restored Old Post Office on Main Street, this charming micro-pub may be small in size, but it’s full of character, warmth, and a genuine sense of community.
Step through the door and you’ll find a place where conversation flows as easily as the drinks. It’s a proper pub atmosphere, where phones are forgotten, glasses are raised, and strangers quickly become familiar faces. Proudly awarded Chesterfield CAMRA Micropub of the Year 2025, The Pickled Pear has built a reputation for doing the simple things exceptionally well.
Food is served Tuesday to Friday from 9.30am to 3.00pm, with the pub reopening on Friday and Saturday evenings from 6.00pm to 10.00pm. Friendly, welcoming, and full of personality, The Pickled Pear is the kind of place you’ll plan to visit once and return to time and time again.
Mornings begin from 9.30am with the irresistible aroma of home-cured bacon and freshly brewed coffee filling the air. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast or something a little lighter, it’s the perfect way to start your day, with quality ingredients and care in every plate.
Come lunchtime, the menu offers a mix of comforting classics and standout favourites. From indulgent ribeye steak sandwiches to their signature pear-flavoured cheese, there’s something to suit every appetite. Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, lunch here is always a treat.
Behind the bar, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of drinks, including hand-pulled ales, quality wines, and an impressive whisky collection nearing 100 bottles. Whether you know your whisky or just fancy trying something new, there’s always something to discover.
