Remarkable Hare

You'll find the Remarkable Hare tucked away on Dale Road, right in the heart of Matlock town centre where it actually feels like somewhere locals want to be. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint of something interesting from their rotating ales, settle into a booth, and not feel rushed or judged for spending hours there. The food's honest and hearty—proper pub fare done well—and the crowd tends to be a genuine mix of regulars, walkers fresh off the Peaks, and people who've deliberately chosen this over the chain spots. It's got character without trying too hard, and that's precisely why it works.
