1530 The Restaurant in High Peak

Wow! What a great little place to go. Firstly - we love going out to Italian restaurants to eat so we will leave our dog at home. However as we are on holiday, we couldn’t do that this time. Luckily enough, 1530 is dog friendly outside so you aren’t forced to eat in a general pub spending the same amount of money on mediocre food - so we sat outside in the sun and ate here. The service was quick, friendly and attentive with checks throughout but no disruption. Reasonably priced - £60 for a starter, main and alcoholic drink each (including an aperol!) The lasagna was full of big chunks of pulled meat and the seafood risotto was a very reasonable portion (something you don’t normally see) and had plenty of seafood in. Both were full of flavour. A nice touch to have a chocolate with the bill - no “auto” service charge so you can actually choose to tip if you want! (This place definitely deserves a tip). Will definitely be going back and you must go here if you want great quality food and actual value for money, in 2025!!

What a fantastic place, fabulous food and a friendly vibe with a very pleasant atmosphere, service was excellent. I would highly recommended this restaurant.

Excellent restaurant. Very pleasant staff and food was a very high standard. You will not be disappointed with a trip to this restaurant.

Excellent Great food service vibe & sensibly priced menu If you visit castleton it needs to be must on your list for a meal

I don't usually go for Italian food, but WOW, this place was amazing. The seevice was just spot on and the food was the best I have had in a long time. The pricing was sensible but felt I had eaten a meal at a top restrauny in London. Castleton is a delightful little vilage in the peaks and as a rule, you don't expect fine dining. But this was it. This was for my 60th birthday, and trust me, the older you get the harsher the critique of food as you have eaten in quite a few places. Last year my wife and I traveled to Italy, and none of the restraunts we stayed in came close to this one. Those who wrote the negative reviews really did not deserve to eat here. They clearly had no idea what good food was like and probably write poor reviews irespective. Needless to say, thank you for a fantastic evening.

De atmosfeer in dit restaurant is goed, modern en in de stijl van het dorp. Landelijk Engels. Als voorgerecht hebben we de kaasfondue om te delen besteld. Deze was erg lekker en werd geserveerd met een goede hoeveelheid stokbrood. Voor het hoofdgerecht een pizza en een past. Ook zeer goed klaargemaakt. Hiernaast was de service erg prettig en attent. Zodra je glas water leeg was, werd dit vrijwel direct weer bijgeschonken. Als nagerecht nog wat ijs en de cheesecake gehad. Ook dit was naar verwachting en lekker. De cheesecake zou ik niet aanraden, maar dat is een kwestie van smaak. Al met al een zeer geslaagde avond gehad.

This is a small restaurant, but a little gem. We had a weeks holiday in Hope (1.5 miles away) and had 3 meals at the 1530. The menu was varied and interesting. Between the 2 of us we had 6 different mains and every one was good. I especially enjoyed the Red Snapper - don't think I've ever had it done quite like that, so well done chef! The staff were really friendly and helpful. The 1530 also had draught Stones bitter on which is unusual for this sort of venue. If we're in the area again we will be sure to visit. The restaurant is quite small, so you do need to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

We were recommended this by our B&B and did not disappoint. Everything was delicious, highlights included breads with olive pate and parmesan butter, and pancetta and asparagus pasta.

Great food and good service. Would definitely recommend. Our group had lasagna, linguine, lamb and steak. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal

I chose to come here from TripAdvisor reviews and it did not disappoint. It is an intimate restaurant with friendly efficient staff, and great food. Food was well cooked and well presented. I had burrata and marinated tomato for starter which was delicious. For mains it was difficult to choose, but I plumped for Tumbo. This was a selection of fish cooked as a risotto. Absolutely spot on! My husband wanted tiramisu for dessert and we were brought two spoons which was a nice touch. Perfect again. A lovely evening in a smashing little restaurant.

We visited with friends one Saturday evening in September. We booked ahead and managed to get a table at 5pm...otherwise it was fully booked. The menu was quite extensive with the typical Italian fayre and some more unusual dishes. It took us a while to decide what we were having, with the waitress joking that the table was booked for 7, so we needed to hurry up. Eventually, we decided and ordered starters, including Burrata, calamari, and bruschetta. Followed by mains including pizza, tombo risotto, and beef cheek lasagna. Washed down with some beer and wine. It was all very good, the lasagna deserving a specific shout out! A couple of us had dessert - both plumping for the lemon ricotta cheesecake, which fit the price felt a little small. For 4 with drinks it came in at about £150 which isn't bad considering the quality of the food.

Delicious meal, the best lasagne I have ever had. Generous portions and extremely reasonable prices considering the quality of the food. Friendly and helpful staff, would recommend to any and all visiting Castleton and beyond looking for high quality, reasonably priced food with an extensive menu in the heart of the village. Usually take plenty of photos of my food but couldn’t wait to dig in to this meal…

Had to wait at the bar for a long time for anyone to speak to us to then take us to our table (we booked in advance) We did have to wait to be served for a long time. Took about 20 mins to get an offer of a drink. Starters of squid and wild mushrooms were lovely. Just disappointed with the mains of pasta. Not the best Italian we've had, ragu pasta was thick and chewy, pretty bland flavours. I was even searching for the taste of garlic in the garlic bread. Menu online was different to the menu when we arrived. Overall very pricey at £86 for 2 for what we got in all honesty. Not sure we'd rush back in a hurry as somewhat underwhelmed.

Turned up with no booking on Sunday around 6, it was busy but we got a table right in front of kitchen which was great as you could see in and it was clean presentable and efficient. I had lemon chicken gnocchi and my husband had pizza, the food was excellent and well presented. Would definitely return.

Our first night on holiday in Castleton and we visited 1530 for dinner. We had no table reservation and the team welcomed us no problem. The staff are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble, the food is AMAZING and prices are so reasonable (we had the mozzarella garlic bread, wild mushroom risotto and parmesan chicken with mash). Thanks so much for having us, we can’t wait to return. Emma & Mike xx
