A deceptively large space inside, with a few tables outside when the weather's good - there's not much of a view though, just the road you've walked up. The pub is owned by Marston's, so expect to see a couple of their ales on tap. Apart from that there's not much else available unless you're partial to a commercial lager or two. Of the three pubs in Buxton we visited that day, this was my least favourite, it just lacked the charm and traditional features of the others and looked far too 'chainy' for my taste.

Not a bad little pub at all - definitely on the way to being more of a restaurant if the truth be…read moreknown. We were on a trip down to 'Fords of Winsford' to buy a new car and having to build up the strength to battle the 1500 cars on offer, we decided a big fat lunch had to be on the agenda! Think country inn food and you're not far off, with all sorts of pub classics like steak and kidney pudding (which my wife had and was amazing), fish and chips and more. I went for the steakburger which was tasty but that was at the 2nd attempt - the first one that they brought out was stone cold (I'd asked for it medium but this looked like it had come straight out of the fridge and onto the plate. Thankfully the manager was very good and replaced it straightaway, giving us a couple of free soft drinks as an apology. Personally - I don't think this 2nd burger was cooked massively well (but I couldn't be arsed saying anything 2nd time around) and the chef could do with maybe hitting somewhere like Manchester's Filthy Cow burger joint to see how to cook it well but juicy and the pink in the middle... Besides the burger situ and my wife and myself having to eat our meals separately I'm still giving this place a 4 star as it was a great menu, surroundings and has friendly staff.

Friendly staff. We shared the garlic flatbread which tasted good - nice and garlic-y! For mains, I have the slow-cooked shoulder of lamb, fondant potato, roast hispi cabbage, caramelised onion purée and sticky lamb jus. Really tasty lamb - its one of those where the meat is all taken off the bone and it comes to you almost like a "block" of lamb. That probably does not sound that appetising but not sure how else to describe it! Tasted good like I said. Almost the best thing though was the hispi cabbage. Yum

A fairly large place, it offers a decent selection of beers (including a number of hand pumped ales by Joseph Holt of Manchester) and an extensive menu that focuses on British food and pub grub. When I visited on a Saturday noon, the place was packed. And for good reason: The "rustic sharing board" (effectively a ploughman's lunch) I had was both generous and tasty, with a small pork pie, a Scotch egg, two slices of honey-roasted gammon, a big helping of local cheese, cut-up sausages, various sauces and pickles and a few slices of rather appetizing roasted white bread. I had a look around at other people's dishes and they all looked very good, too. The bar staff was friendly and efficient, and while Joseph Holt beers may not represent the pinnacle of British ales, they are well-made and were certainly kept fresh on the premises. Prices are pretty much what you would expect from a superior regional pub/restaurant, but there are several specials throughout the week. The décor is very much geared towards families: unfussy, clean, comfortable. Recommended!
