A good menu selection of good, homely, traditional English pub food with the additional 'special' thrown in for good measure. Superb, great hosts and comfortable surroundings. The ale's not bad as well!! Well appointed with a plenty of car parking.

Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??

I couldn't get enough of this place. The epitome of an (extremely) old pub at the heart of a…read morecommunity where everyone seemed to know everyone else. And the beers are darn good too. This whitewashed inn accessed over an old packhorse bridge claims to 'probably' be Yorkshire's oldest (1307). Got to love them covering themselves for inaccuracy there. That's over seven centuries of beery goodness which was open for trade 40 years before the Black Death! A gem of a building with wooden beams throughout - the layout inside is stepped as it's built on a decline so disabled access is obviously limited (you may wish to phone in advance if you or your family member has any mobility concerns). There's plenty of seating throughout, however, with some set back in nooks in the walls. As well as serving real ale from independent brewers, they stock genuine imported lagers from around the world. Their fridge of bottled beers looked quite comprehensive. They also have guest beers which change regularly - when I visited they had Jaipur from Thornbridge on (one of my all time favourites). They serve food but we didn't eat here on this occasion. I can guarantee I will be a punter here again when I'm over next time.

Popped in on the way back from a cold day out at Alton Towers…read more We got a lovely warm welcome, were quickly seated near a roaring fireplace and settled in for a great meal accompanied by some very well kept Hartington IPA. The pub is cosy and friendly, and in a great location for walkers and cyclists on the Tissington trail. We'll definately be heading back soon (to the Royal Oak not Alton Towers, which is another story)!

The Dog Inn is located on Belthorn Road on the right hand side near the top of the hill…read more The Dog Inn is an excellent place for a meal with family or your other half. As you walk in you can tell it's a very friendly, cosy traditional pub type restaurant. We ordered our drinks and the lady asked we was eating which we were so they gave us a menu and said if we'd like to sit in the bar while we choose. We ordered our meals and within 5 minutes we went downstairs to the restaurant area and more or less our starters came. I had prawn cocktail which was excellently presented and very nice, then had surf and turf which again was excellently presented exactly how I ordered it Medium rare and was delicious. We also ordered some beer battered onion rings which were gigantic but really nice. All together it came to about £35 for both of us including drinks and highly recommended.

Walking into the Rock after a snowy, windy walk through Sunnyhurst Woods was great - a warm…read morewelcome, a fire and a refreshing pint. After warming up a little we took in a bit more of our surroundings. Locals at the bar, and not a particularly wide selection of beers. The people remained friendly. Pub grub was just what was required. A review somewhere praised the food and the selection on the specials board looked decent so we went ahead. The pub grub classic that is potato skins was ordered for starters in two guises. Sadly, both were bought in catering affairs, the cheese separated when being heated, and it hadn't been heated enough to actually melt into one piece. Mains started off with a disappointing veg lasagne, with no discernible vegetables in between the pasta sheets, accompanied by distinctly average garlic bread and a simple salad garnish. The beef stroganoff was fine - at least the fillet was of good enough quality and cooked properly so that it wasn't at all tough or stringy. The sauce was fine and the rice perhaps a bit overdone. The service throughout was spot on - everything at the right pace and appropriately informal for a pub with food. Again, we were made to feel welcome during our visit. The reviews we'd seen mentioned the pies, which on the specials board were the only things labelled as homemade. Perhaps we should have given them a go, but I'm afraid it's unlikely we'll be heading back for food. A pint and a warm up in front of the cosy fire would be another matter, and we'd be more than happy to repeat that experience if we're in the area before moving on elsewhere to eat.
