What visitors say
Stopped off in early July having walked from Hartington Station (walking/cycling trail). Great, friendly service. Ordered a Ploughman's lunch and falafal in spicy sauce on a baguette, which was promptly made and of excellent value. We were joined later by our daughter and her boyfriend who ordered the chippy tea (huge) and two starters (as a main). Would recommend! They do rooms from £40 and camping from £10.

What a fantastic country pub. Stayed for a night close by in our campervan, if known you could camp there, we would've done. The food was fantastic, could not fault what we had, apart from my partner having a bit of string left on her steak. Excellent choice of drink, warm, cosy, plenty of room, excellent menu and a good variety. Wasn't bothered about pudding, but glad we had it. Will definitely stop over with the van next time.

A typically British countryside pub. We loved our dinner here over the bank holiday weekend. The pub was busy and bustling, there was a great atmosphere. Service was excellent, food was exceptional with some really traditional, hearty dishes on the menu - exactly what you’re looking for after a long day of walking in the Peaks. Definitely worth a visit… make sure you book as it seems to be the place to be so can get busy. Can’t wait to return on our next visit to the Peak District
