February 2009, Griffiths
We were absolutely delighted with the cookery session and we have spent many happy hours going over what we did. The recipes have now been incorporated, together with further notes into 6 pages of text so that we might be able to repeat some of these dishes in the future. We now have to seek some new equipment and also try to source some of the ingredients. Please pass on our good wishes and thanks to Rupert and the team.

We would like to thank you all for making our wedding day last Friday so special and memorable. Baslow Hall was a perfect venue; it was wonderful to be able to go out into your lovely gardens for the drinks after the ceremony. The meal was absolutely superb, every course was delicious. However, our abiding memory is of the staff who were all so helpful and friendly during our stay. We really felt that everyone cared as much as us about making the day special.
April 2009, Bailey

April 2009, Grass
We just wanted to say a huge thank you to our wedding co-ordinator for all your support leading up to our wedding and during the special day itself. You provided excellent advice and guidance which ensured the day ran smoothly and without a hitch. We looked at many venues before alighting upon Fischer’s and a combination of your support and the beautiful accommodation, food and facilities made our wedding day perfect.
Please pass on our thanks to the chef and the catering team who did an excellent job, the food was exquisite. Our guests commented on the wonderful food which was beautifully presented. In addition, there were many comments about the high standard of accommodation, the bedrooms all unique in their decor and were beautifully presented. The gardens were also magnificent and it was a pleasure to spend time in them and have our photos taken in the beautiful surroundings.
Fischer’s will have a special place in our hearts and we look forward to celebrating our forthcoming wedding anniversaries at Fischer’s.

Again congratulations to all the staff for providing such a warm and friendly atmosphere.

July 2010, Willmott
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all who worked so tirelessly on the occasion of my son’s wedding. Your hotel, rooms, food, and facilities are second to none, and you made us all feel so welcome. We had a wonderful day, the weather was very kind to us, and your beautiful gardens provided a lovely back ground for the photo’s. Our every wish was catered for, way beyond our expectations and I personally will not hesitate to recommend your hotel for use as a wedding venue.
Please be so kind as to pass on our thanks and appreciation to all concerned, including your Chef. I’m sure that if he was present while we were eating, he would have felt great satisfaction at hearing our Ooohs! and Aaahs! of appreciation, both visual and taste-wise.
Once again, thank you all very, very much – to the cleaning staff, those who turned our sheets over in preparation for our nights sleep, the receptionists, and all those who just added those little extra touches to make our day extra special.
August 2010, Stitt
We would like to thank you all so much for making our wedding day such a wonderful occasion.

The service that we received was absolutely first class from everybody – we felt very well looked after indeed and many of our guests commented on the excellent service. The food was superb and there was plenty. The assiette of desserts is still a talking point with most of my friends and family – they were truly delicious and so beautifully presented. We greatly look forward to coming back to Baslow Hall for a meal (hopefully before our 1st anniversary)!

Dear Max,
My daughter and I would like to say how much we enjoyed your tour of the garden with us on Tuesday, for an obsessive gardener like myself it is always good to share the passion someone else has for their garden!

Dear Max & Susan Fischer, I would like you to know what a splendid job your staff did for our members this week. It was well worth the distance travelled to eat Rupert’s excellent food and drink the wine we choose with your Maitre,D. We received excellent service at the table and before and after the meal in the garden. I received professional help and service from Amy Wilkinson in organising this event she could not have been more helpful. I am copying this to the Good Food Guide as you deserve a higher food rating.

July 2012, Atkin
A note to thank you for providing an excellent venue for our fiftieth wedding anniversary last weekend. Outstanding accomodation – both our bedroom and for the luncheon – and the food and service throughout were admirable. We would particularly like to thank your young staff for their discrete and helpful attention throughout – you must be very pleased with them. Our guests had a fine time, and as several of them from Manchester and thereabouts did not know your retaurant before this visit they will, I am confident, be returning in the future on their own account. Even the weather behaved itself and delivered sunshine, and champagne on the lawn gave the occasion a great start! Again, our warm thanks.
July 2012, Richards
