    Many a good walk begins and ends at the Nag. Take the weight off and have a pint you've earned it.

The set lunch had a really nice mushroom starter and I had some decent fish cakes as well. Good range of ales, varied and comfortable seating. A great pick if you are in Hayfield. Keep an eye out because they seem to have a lot of events going on, foodie and otherwise.

Not massively too sure where we were doing, we headed up through Disley and then ended up in New Mills and then though "my God, it's lunch time - we need to find somewhere fast!" Luckily our handy Yelp app recommended the Pack Horse 5 mins drive up the road and a quick zoom up past lovely countryside led us to this little gem. Seating in the bar for around 40 (where you can eat), plus there's a more formal dining room attached, it was super popular with us nabbing the last table. The food selection is all about good proper pub food with around 10 daily specials. If the truth be honest I'd probably give the food around 3.5 as the fish and chips and homemade burger with chips we had was tasty but not the best we've ever had at a country pub. We did enjoy it though. I imagine this is great for a few pints at night (although you'd need a designated driver as it's up a hill and in the middle of nowhere) - and they had some pretty interesting beers on tap too. We'd pop in for food if nearby but there's probably better places within driving range that we'd likely venture to on a day out. Great views from here too!

    The food here is good (I had a great lunch here a couple of years ago) but overall I left slightly…read moreunderwhelmed by the flavours in the Sunday Roast - the venison was beautifully cooked but perhaps a little underseasoned. When the large bill came we felt it didn't quite have the wow factor we'd expect at that price point. I think I'd try again but not on a Sunday. At the moment, the much less lauded Hare & Hounds in Mill Brow I think is doing at least as good a job at a slightly lower price.

    Upon finding ourselves at a loose end one Bank Holiday lunch time we decided to try the Pack Horse…read morein Hayfield, which had been recommended by a friend. The traditional open fire type pub had been transformed with a very modern and quirky decor, which in my opinion worked. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with attentive (but not overly so) staff. I opted for the chicken liver terrine and marmalade jelly which was well thought out and tasty. I followed this with the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding (had to be done really!). The meat was cooked well and was accompanied by a wide variety of well cooked vegetables. Home-made onion gravy and fiery horseradish cream set it off nicely. Finished the meal off with STP, which was lovely and came with very nice ice cream. My companion opted for the deep-fried mushrooms, which they thought were nice and came with a spicy sweet sauce that complimented it well. Their main of beef hot pot and dumplings was well received (maybe a little too piping hot to eat) but the dumplings were a bit dry, making them hard to eat. They finished their meal with Eton mess which was very nice and came with a variety of fresh fruits. The only small gripe was that the dishes felt a little over worked with garnishes and "food art", as if they were trying a bit too hard to impress, when the food did the talking very nicely for them without it, in my opinion. All in all very nice food and at 55 GBP including 2 drinks was very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be re-visiting again.

    After a brisk walk from Edale to Mam Tor, Lord's Seat and back. We stopped into The Rambler's Inn…read morefor a Sunday Roast. It is everything you'd expect from a pub which makes it's stock and trade in tourism. Nearly everyone in the pub was a walker or at least a tourist coming to enjoy the beautiful Edale Valley and it oozes that familial feel of a shared interest even though you are amongst a group of strangers. The pub is exceedingly warm and cosy with one side dedicated to eating in three rooms. There is also a large beer garden out the front of the pub which is lovely in the Summer sun, though was not heavily used on this cold Winter day. They also have accommodation upstairs for walkers who have an entire weekend of activities planned. They have a nice selection of cask beer (quite a few from Bradfield Brewery which being only 16 miles away is probably the most local) and the expected keg beers though I won't grace them with acknowledging any in particular. There was a large number of us booked in for a late lunch. I would suggest booking ahead especially on the weekend if you are a sizeable group. I ordered the Roast Beef. A large meal arrived and was devoured with gusto. I wouldn't say it was the best roast I've had but it was exactly what you would expect from a local country pub and filled you with a hearty warm feeling after a cold day on the hills. They were also exceptionally fats in delivering food to about 20 people. All ordered and received their meals within about 30 minutes. I was rather astonished by the speed, but then reminded myself that they do this sort of brisk trade week after week.

Ordered the sausage and mash overpriced at 10.95 and a beer and attempted to pay by credit card. They barman said the had some trouble with the credit card machine so I said I would sign on the way out. The meal arrived within minutes so obviously not freshly cooked although it tasted ok. However when i went to sign off my card I was left waiting for 20 minutes by an very ungracious landlady who would not return my card until she got the epdq sorted. I found the whole experience rather distastful and will not be returning.
