So when they close they not only leave an empty space in town but also rob you of your happy place.
Here we look back at 10 eateries that have disappeared from Chesterfield down the years.
5. Cipollini
Located above the All Saints Tap bar on St Mary's Gate, Cipollini served Italian food and had a botanical gin room. The restaurant's four-year run came to an end in May 2021 when the owner closed both Cipollini and All Saints Tap after lockdown restrictions took their toll on business. Photo: Google
6. The Craft Burger Company
The only place in Chesterfield offering craft ale and burgers influenced by cuisine from around the world, The Craft Burger Company occupied premises on Stephenson Place for two years from 2015 before the business went into liquidation. Photo: Google
7. Berni Inn
Chesterfield had a steakhouse in the Eighties when Berni Inn occupied the floor above the Queen's Head on Knifesmithgate. The chain sold their restaurants to Whitbread in 1995 with the new owners rebranding the eateries as Beefeater. Photo: Derbyshire Times/Chesterfield Library
8. Calabria
Multi award-winning Calabria fed the town's appetite for Italian fare when it was opened by brothers Vittorio and Sev Risorto in 2010. The Glumangate restaurant was praised as "a local gem" in The Good Food Guide of 2015. Customers posted their last reviews of Calabria online in 2017. The premises is now home to Darwin and Bear which serves Mexican food and cocktails. Photo: Submitted
