The Maynard are not only earning acclaim for their fine food and dining ambiance but are proving to be something of a master of the special event too. They have a couple of forthcoming events, which will add a very different dimension to the dining experience.
For the first event, they have joined forces with Sheffield based Freya Bridal to run a special dining event that will help to raise funds for the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The ‘Wedding Dress Ball’ on 26th October will give brides the chance to wear their special dress again and should make for an evening of wedding glamour, with up to 100 ‘brides’ in the room at the same time. Tickets for the ball are £45 and include a three course meal.
Information and tickets
A month later, on Saturday 24th November, The Maynard will be hosting a corporate hypnotism evening in association with leading hypnotist and ‘mentalist’ Anthony Jacquin. Local companies from South Yorkshire and Derbyshire are encouraged to go along and keep an open mind for an evening of fun and mischief! Anthony’s skills include ESP, mind reading, Psychokinesis, memory feats and hypnosis. Tickets cost £40 and include a three course meal.

It’s been an exciting few weeks over at Grindleford’s boutique hotel and restaurant The Maynard. Not only have they had celebrity guest Dermot O’Leary, of Big Brother’s Little Brother fame, staying with them, but they’ve also snapped up an accolade from the AA.
The Maynard were delighted to inform us that they have been officially recognised by the AA, having been awarded a coveted AA rosette and a four star quality rating. To gain an AA rosette, establishments must ‘produce dishes of sound quality and clarity of flavours, using good fresh ingredients’ so it’s clear that AA inspectors were impressed.

Still over the in the Derbyshire fringes, The Walnut Club at Hathersage have just announced their new menu, which sees them using the fresh flavours of Spring in their organic dishes. Their 5-10-5 set menu has been very popular though, so this will be retained alongside the new a la carte menu, giving customers the chance to get a terrific three course set meal for only £20 every night except Friday and Saturday.

A few new restaurants will soon be opening in Sheffield city centre, as the Leopold Square development continues. Planned newcomers include a new tapas bar, a sister restaurant to the Wig & Pen, an up market cocktail bar and a classy pizza and pasta bar. It’s good to hear that we’ll soon have even more choices for city centre dining.
