After working all around the country in high-end hotels many with 1 or 2 Michelin stars, Mark Aisthorpe decided it was time to open his own establishment in 2016. After a long search of many premises, he finally decided on The Bulls Head in Holymoorside, where he believes he could put his talents to use. Marks Menus are hyper-seasonal and have a supply chain that is from a limited geographic area. Relying on local forages and neighbouring farmers to supply the best possible produce we can buy. Situated in the heart of the Peak District the farm to table concept is ideal and is made use of. Our menus change daily depending on the quality of produce we can source. Mark prides himself on only using the best local produce to bring you a truly stunning experience in modern British cuisine.
