Fischer s at Baslow Hall Award winning Restaurant with Rooms
Welcome Baslow Hall stands at the top of a winding chestnut-tree-lined driveway on the edge of the picturesque village of Baslow. Chatsworth Estate is within walking distance and the old market town of Bakewell only four miles away. Baslow is the perfect location to discover the beauty of the Peak District. Max & Susan Fischer purchased this lovely house in 1988 as a fitting setting for their dream Restaurant with Rooms. The classic, traditional styling of the Main House, complements the use of their own personal collection of furniture and pictures to create a homely feel. At Baslow Hall, we endeavour to create an atmosphere of comfort and character where guests can relax and be pampered, enjoy good food and wine, and return to their daily lives refreshed.
Rooms The emphasis is on comfort with good beds, quality Egyptian cotton bedding, fluffy white towels, robes and luxurious toiletries. Six bedrooms in the Main House have a traditional feel with lavish fabrics and ornate plasterwork ceilings. In contrast the five Garden House bedrooms are contemporary and very spacious. These rooms have their own courtyard garden area and Garden House One is reached via Max s raised bed fruit and vegetable garden. Following a restful night we want you to enjoy the Fischer s Breakfast including freshly squeezed juices, seasonal fruits, Max s homemade Granola and eggs, bacon and sausages from local producers....a good breakfast will complete the therapy

Food Head Chef Rupert Rowley is a local lad. He trained at Sheffield College before going to Raymond Blanc s Manoir aux Quat Saisons near Oxford. From there he moved to L Ortolan at Shinfield under John Burton-Race and in 2001 braved the kitchens of Gordon Ramsay at his flagship 3 star Michelin restaurant in London. Rupert returned to his native Sheffield and Fischer s in 2002. In 2003 he was appointed Head Chef. Rupert s cooking is always evolving. He combines classic favourites with more modern combinations and relies heavily on local produce in season including Yorkshire forced Rhubarb, Derbyshire Lamb, Venison and Beef. Over the years our Restaurant has achieved many accolades, not least a Michelin star which was awarded in 1994 and every year since. Accolades are wonderful, but we cook to please our guests. (Rupert Rowley)
Dishes are highly inventive, built around outstanding combinations that leave you eager to explore the next one (AA Restaurants Guide)
Max s Garden Over the past twenty five years, Max with the help of Terry Wilson, who has now become Head Gardener, have slowly developed the five acres of garden at Baslow Hall. Max once told a reporter that cooking was his first love and gardening his second, and then (as an afterthought) that his family came next. Enjoy the perfumes of the Herbaceous Border on a Summer afternoon and the scent of freshly cut grass. Wander between the raised beds where Max nurtures salad, herbs, vegetables and fruits for the kitchen. Visit the woodland area where wild flowers are being encouraged or admire Max s young sapling trees in the Arboretum. Max s garden attracts as much admiration from our guests as the food, accommodation and friendly staff....freshly harvested produce straight from Max s garden.
