1530 in High Peak

Great experience at this restaurant. Good menu with plenty of choice, all 4 of us had well cooked food and good service. Will return when next in the area. Food good value, wines maybe a little pricey but the list was impressive for a modest sized restaurant. Espressos need a bit of tweaking to get to a genuine Italian version but otherwise one of the best Italian restaurants we have been to in some time.

This is probably our 3rd time a this beautiful restaurant. We wasn’t disappointed amazing service & food. Would highly recommend this wonderful restaurant if you are in Castleton can’t wait to come back hopefully real soon.

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.

I had the best vegan meal I've ever had in this restaurant! It was all so fresh, flavoursome and perfectly portioned. My partner who isn't vegan also thoroughly enjoyed his. The staff were friendly and accommodating. My only complaint is that we were just tourists and don't live locally!

We came for our wedding anniversary lovely atmosphere very welcoming and attentive the food was amazing very tasty can't wait for our next visit

We stopped here on a visit to Castleton as we thought it looked lovely on the outside and we fancied a pizza. We chose a table outside and I went in to get some menus. I was met with a questioning look, which felt uncomfortable but the waitress said she’d be out to take our order. A group sat down next to us and someone came out to take their drinks orders but ignored us. We then waited a few more minutes but no one came out. We appeared to be the only two tables outside, so it was very odd. We decided to leave and went next door to the Rose Cottage cafe, and had a delicious meal!

My family and I visited this restaurant this evening for a belated birthday and anniversary meal, to which we were extremely disappointed with. The service was incredibly slow and the lasagne was awful and inedible, then when asked by the waitress if everything was okay with it, it was explained that it wasn’t nice and too strong, and there was no apology at all or no discount given seen as it was not eaten. We will not be back and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Shocking.

A glorious find in the heart of Castleton after a Thursday afternoons hiking. We hadn't booked but luckily were able to find a table as we were eating early. Offered a choice of still, sparkling or tap water immediately on seating, then chose a bottle of Pinot to share, a shared starter of warm bread with dips / spreads, my wife had the lobster cream tagliatelle and I went for the beef cheek lasagne with a side salad of kimchi and cucumber. Everything was excellent and served with a smile in a very comfortable dining room. Dessert was offered but by now we were fully replenished and sadly declined, maybe next time. Just shy of £35 per head for two courses and a bottle of wine represented excellent value for money. The pizzas being served to other customers looked enticing, certainly one to look out for next time we are in the area

Fantastic little Italian restaurant, serving modern tweaks to traditional dishes. We shared a wild mushroom bruschetta starter which was delicious and a nice ease in to our meal. Seafood pasta main was fresh and filled with seafood and a fantastic sauce that didn't overwhelm. Beef brisket lasagna was an interesting twist on the traditional dish, rich, melting beef in-between perfectly cooked lasagna sheets and a creamy, rich, cheesy sauce. Tiramisu was a step too far as i was full, but my only comment was that the savoiardi sponges could have been soaked in the coffee/booze mixture for longer. A very drinkable Gavi went well with our choices and we finished with a couple of liquors. All for around £100 which in this day is very reasonable. Service was excellent- we ordered at the same time as a large party and the kitchen was switched on and made sure we weren't waiting. A very pleasant evening in lovely surroundings. I'd definitely Recommend 1530 for dinner if you are in Castleton. Booking is recommended as they are very popular.

This is such a lovely restaurant, the staff were really welcoming and super helpful. They were checking and giving us complimentary water top ups and being really attentive. My wild mushroom bruschetta with spinach and garlic sauce was amazing and flavoursome and tasted really fresh. The dream maker pizza I had was the best pizza I have ever eaten and the staff were real lovely and swapped the cheese for me when I ordered. The ingredients were all really fresh and balanced and the base was perfectly thin and crispy with lovely thicker crust. I could really tell it was home made. Although everything on the menu sounded so delicious I struggled to choose, I wanted to eat everything! If you don’t go here when I’m the area you are really missing out and I couldn’t recommend this place more. It had a lovely homely atmosphere and the food was immaculate. This was evident as the restaurant was fully booked so clearly a favourite with both locals ans tourists.

A cracking independent Bistro with fabulous food, and great wine list. We visited 8 years ago, and were delighted to find it in the same ownership, with delicious food, great staff and service. The courtyard garden is a lovely. We finished off our meal with some deserts and drinks sat there. All in all, a wonderful bistro, we will not wait as long to revisit. Don't hesitate book it.. you won't be disappointed.

After venturing deep within the ‘devil’s arse’ we decided to head to a near by English pub for a quick bite. It was founded in 2012 by its owners who met in Australia. It sports a slightly mediaeval interior with its stoned walls dating back to 1530. At our time of visiting which was approximately 3pm in the afternoon, we had the luxury of having the entire dining room to ourselves and had our meals served piping hot and bursting with flavours. If ever we had any regrets, it would be walking into the restaurant with half full tummies which limited us from ordering more. More photos and videos can be found on our IG & Youtube ( Monk3yseendo )

Amazing food and wonderful service. The pizza we had was beautiful and the fries with garlic and Parmesan were delicious.. we will be back and telling anyone we know going to castleton to eat here. PS little garden at the back felt like we were in Italy, such a beautiful set up.

Warm welcome, great service and delicious food. We had the chicken tagliatelle with rocket and Parmesan on the side and the devils arse pizza. Both were delicious but the tagliatelle was something else. So fresh and tasty. Would definately recommend to all.

We ate twice here. Excellent food, friendly staff and positive atmosphere. Monkfish Risotto was very good as was the Lasagne. Prices are also reasonable. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Lobed this place. First visit and the staff and food were amazing. We are vegan and can honestly say this was one of the best meals we've been able to have in a restaurant! Will be back soon 😍

My friend and I visited on Wednesday night for the "last meal" of our trip to the peaks. The girls were all so friendly and accommodating. The food was simply amazing, can't fault a single thing.

Visited on Saturday evening and had a lovely meal in cosy surroundings. Menu choice very good with lots of new dishes since last visit.

Excellent meal. Staying in Castleton for the weekend and we book this on for our first night. Lovely welcoming restaurant and menu made everything sound delicious and we weren’t disappointed. Started with the Charcuterie Board, we loved it, especially the Duck. For main course I had a Risotto with Roast Duck it was superb. Then for desert I had the Affogato... it was AMAZING! Best I’ve ever had, Expresso, Cappuccino Ice Cream, Amaretto, Chocolates and Shortcake. Kids loved their meal, the kids pizza was a good size and we were able to bring some back in a box. Highly recommend this little place, the staff were so nice and service was excellent.

My wife and I loved our recent visit to 1530. The meal was superb, the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive and, well, we just loved it !

We had a fabulous meal at 1530. The menu was imaginative and the dishes themselves were mouthwatering. Delicious combinations and excellent value. The staff qere charming. I'll be going again for sure. I canr praise this lovely little restairant highly enough.

We had a very delicious meal with friendly service and a warm convivial atmosphere. My wife had a prawn and crab linguine that she raves about. I had garlic mushrooms bruschetta , beef cheek lasagna and amaretto apple crumble. All hot and tasty and well cooked. Thoroughly to be recommended!!

The food here was immense. Great service and a great menu. Highly recommend the beef cheek lasagne. Thanks for a lovely evening.

This was our first visit to this restaurant and it won't be our last. The staff were friendly and attentive but not at all in your face.All of the food was excellent and plentiful.The wine was very nice. The best part was the bill which was very reasonable for the quality of the food. A very enjoyable evening.

Simply wow!! Firstly this place is sorted for all this Covid nonsense, every in place and very professional staff.. the menu is great with a bit of everything for everyone. From start to finish I couldn't fault it at all, truly the best restaurant I have eaten in in a very very long time...a big thank you to the owner and your staff, 5 stars are not enough ...

This was our first visit back to 1530 since lockdown. The place felt very safe (some tables removed for distance). The service and the food remained as good as ever. Top Tip- whatever you get, go for an extra portion of Gino Fries, washed down with Montepulciano!! Also. the new charcuterie menu - we sampled all of the meats and they tasted superb and very different to standard supermarket overseas hams.

We had been to 1530 a few years ago when we last stayed in the Hope Valley, and had had a lovely meal, and this time was even better. The food (esp the king prawn linguine and the Gorgonzola tagliatelle) was all absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive without being obtrusive and the covid precautions were effective, sensible and comforting. Finally, the bill was very reasonable for the quality of food very much enjoyed. We'll definitely return when we are next in the Peak District. Soon, I hope.

As the title says, after visiting a couple of years ago we returned to Castleton & had booked each night at 1530, and it certainly did not disappoint. Some lovely meals, good drinks & great atmosphere. Thanks go to the owners & staff for 4 great nights. Tequila & Hot chocolate, who knew!

Well what can I say apart from enjoying great food and wine with pleasant staff and a really nice relaxing venue. Highly recommended.

We booked a table, which was essential. The restaurant was full on a Monday night. The menu is very well thought out. Some really interesting choices. Staff were excellent and food was fantastic. Cauliflower burger and beetroot pizza, both amazing.

The food and service was excellent, good wine list too. Had Tomato Mozzarella and Garlic Mushroom Bruschetta to start and for mains Mushroom Tagliatelle and Arrabbiata Chicken & Chorizo which were served piping hot, delicious and plentiful.The worst part was deciding what to eat from the vast and varied menu, which is always a bonus. Highly recommended.

The food and service in this italian restaurant was incredible and such a lovely place. There was a lot of choice and all the courses were very well cooked and presented.

Convivial atmosphere and friendly staff. The starter of garlic prawns lacked any garlic but still quite tasty. Padron peppers were delicious. The veggie lasagne was better than expected as wasn’t swimming in cheese and the beef tagliata was cooked nicely however lacked any of the promised chilli. All in all a good evening but the food could definitely do with some stronger flavours.

Lovely meal. Opted for lamb cutlets and duck. Mains cottage pie and steak with peppercorn sauce. Chocolate ganache and apple crumble for desserts. Came to £59 with one beer. Service good. Need to book as popular venue.

We had dinner at 1530. It was a Sunday and you need to have reservations if you wish to have a dinner on a weekend or Friday. Food was good and service was good too. The menu is an extended with many starters and means to choose from. Includes Italian dishes and other dishes.

Not sure what 430gigim is on about and looks like they've taken their bat and ball home as they were fully booked and couldn't fit them in. Lovely food, lovely staff and a nice casual ambience.

I had oxtail and sirloin burger - my wife had the cauliflower burger. Couldn’t have been more different but both delicious! Lovely atmosphere and great service. You must book.

Went there twice on our stay this week, fabulous food and atmosphere. Lovely attentive staff, have the cheese as a desert with the garlic flavoured honey

Tried to book a dinner table here but they were sadly fully booked. We opted for a takeaway pizza as everyone raves about them - but what should’ve been a thin based pizza ended up being a tiny circle of not well pulled dough piled up thick with toppings. Had half of it as by this point we were starving but could not manage to finish it. Appalling. Probably the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten including frozen ones from the local corner shop.

Absolutely beautiful food and really helpful happy staff. The food was faultless, the bill was a real surprise given the quality of the meal we have paid triple for lesser quality . Can’t wait to return ! Top tip .... book in advance they were fully booked when we went and they must have turned 20 people away trying to get in .

Visited with friends - really nice set up even with COVID-19 restrictions. Food was great with excellent service. Would highly recommend.

We arrived late to our b&b and we looked for somehwere to get food. We decided upon 1530 and were not dissapointed.We both had pizzas and i can recommed the devils arse (aptly named). The staff were very friendly and accomodating and the restraunt was cosy.We also visited a second night, the menu has a lot of variety. I tried the ox tail burger something id never tried but was not dissapointed. My girlfriend had the lamb which was cooked and served right (Pink).Nice place and different to the food served in the pubs in the area. Would go back if ever in Castleton.

Located in Cross Street Castleton, pre-booking required, food were delicious and very tasty, atmospher and services were good as well. Only one thing, I still can figure out their furlough calculation, especially 55.80 - 25 = 35.80.

The whole experience was a joy. The service was lovely, the food sublime and the atmosphere perfect. We’re both gluten free and the staff talked us through the options. The kitchen then checked and ensured that everything was prepared to the highest standard. Every mouthful of food was a delight. Can’t wait to come back.

We went here as a party of three after years of not being. The service was brilliant and of a very high standard. The food was delicious and disappeared very quickly. Definitely one of the best eateries in Castleton. Can of recommend it enough and we will definitely be back.

Totally delicious food. The sharing charcuterie and bread with very nice Red wine was a great starter. The beef ragu tagliatelle was amazing as was the king prawn/crab/crayfish linguine. Lovely deserts too. With EOTHO made it an even better meal! Booked to eat here twice more - very easy walk from the YHA hostel. A great find! Would definitely recommend :-)

Excellent charcuterie. King prawn linguine exquisite and fiery king prawn penne dish amazing. Lemon torte was delicious but may be just too much if you want a light dessert. Only grumble was the espresso was rather large for Italian.

Asked some local people what they'd recommend and they told us this restaurant so we made a booking online to eat in - plus, they are currently doing the Dine Out to Help Out scheme which allows you to get £10 off per person.When we turned up, our waitress was very friendly and all the tables were as per the Covid regulations, with hand sanitiser at the door. We ordered the charcuterie as a starter with smoked culatello, prosciutto ham and duck prosciutto-wholeheartedly recommend the latter, was the best of the three by far! Served with lovely warm bread, pickes, olive tapenade and some butter, though it would have been nice to have three pieces of bread for three people! For the mains we all had pastas, and I had the beef ragu and wild mushroom tagliatelle. Serving was a bit on the small size but the sauce was super rich and the pasta well cooked, a very good pasta dish! Ultimately despite some slight mathematical miscalculations in deducting the dine out to help out scheme money, we had a good time here and I would definitely recommend to you in the area. (I would NOT recommend getting a takeaway pizza though...£6 pizzas with the scheme, yes, but they seem to have reduced the size alongside the price...)

Recommended to eat here and booked a table for the same evening. Sat in the garden, forgotten about, had to ask to order, waited 40 minutes for food. Half came, asked about the rest and manager told us it’s coming but they’re very busy and everyone had come at once. Food quality was average. Pretty oily with undercooked parmigiana. I would suggest declining bookings if you’re too busy.

One of the best Italian meals we have had in a long while, excellent friendly service, really really good food. We visited on 7th August, I had chicken carbonara, never had chicken in carbonara before but it was amazing,other half had lasagna, we had a mixed salad and a portion of Gino fries, everything was extremely good. Would definitley recommend.

Myself and my boyfriend visited here tonight for dinner. We had booked a table and that may be recommended should you visit. The staff working were very friendly and welcoming, however service was slow even though the restaurant was not full. It took 40 mins for our starters to arrive, the wait times were similar for tables around us. We ordered the padron peppers with oxtail, the pumpkin arancini and the mushroom bruschetta to start. Unfortunately the padron peppers were bland, you couldn't taste the oxtail at all. Similarly the arancini were bland. You could barely taste the pumpkin, and could not taste the fotina cheese at all. The mushroom bruschetta was as advertised and was tasty. I ordered the chicken carbonara and my boyfriend had the slow braised oxtail and sirloin burger as a main. My carbonara was lovely, however I would have preferred it without the chicken. A traditional carbonara does not come with chicken and I felt that it just didn't go well. For some bizarre reason I found a piece of tomato or red pepper in my sauce, as shown in the photo which definitely should not have been in there. The sauce otherwise was tasty. My boyfriends burger however was a different story. It was too rich and greasy. It definitely could have done with some salad to cut through the greasiness. My boyfriend also asked to upgrade his fries to the Gino fries, however when the bill arrived we were charged for a separate portion of Gino fries (£5) even though his burger has fries included in the price. I would have thought upgrading the fries wouldn't cost as much as an additional portion, we assumed the upgraded fries would be a supplementary cost. Bringing the total of a burger and fries to £g hand sanitiser around the restaurant, this should not be in place of hand soap and I am shocked that they allowed this to be overlooked.

Having had all plans for my daughter's birthday ruined by lockdown and the weather, we decided to take a scenic drive and try somewhere different (after booking by phone).We didn't know what to expect and were spoiled for choice, taking ages to choose as there were so many things we wanted to try.None of us can fault the dinners, they were delicious. The garlic prawns were cooked to perfection, the black pudding and leek lollipops went so well with the prawns - we recommend that as a combination. The calamari was perfect and the charcuterie was very tasty. Mains didn't disappoint - beautiful pizza, cottage pie was delicious, the lamb sirloin so tender, beef and wild mushroom was delicious and the king prawn linguine was out of this world - the best creamy sauce ever tasted.Desserts too were incredible - cheesecake, white chocolate marscapone mousse both delicious but our highlights were the chocolate fondants - amazing.Highly recommended. The Eat Out to Help Out scheme certainly helped but we will definitely be back in the future.

Always good food, with plenty of variety, good wine and friendly service. We look forward to our next visit as soon as you are open

Came in for our date night. Wonderful window seat, and attentive staff.Had the bread and oils to share, then we had the cod croquettes, and the tomato and mozzarella salad.This was followed by the pan fried cod (tomato and olive sauce, parmesan mash), and the Blue John pizza (gorgonzola, Figs, pine nuts)Fantastic drinks menu too and all reasonably priced

We have visited this restaurant several times and always love our time there! The owner and staff are very friendly and happy to help guide you through the menu. We have tried a lot of the dishes here from pasta, tapas, risotto and pizza, and all are delicious. The cheese brulee starter is amazing! There is a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, and many of the other dishes can be made vegetarian and vegan too which is great! Good wine selection too.

We were left for 90 minutes without any food and not one staff member approached us to apologise or explainWhen the food finally arrived some meals were merely warm.Some meals were tasty but the salad with pasta,risotto etc was virtually non existent, though the side dish of salad separately priced,was acceptable

We had eaten very well atThe 1530 on our last visit to The Peaks and this recent visit didn’t disappoint. The foodIs well prepared and very tasty, everything was delicious and the wines good too.Service is friendly and competent although somewhere to hang coats would be handy (perhaps there is but our coats weren’t taken). Ambiance is nice, tables not crowded together but just one thing.... we sat by the window and my chair was right by the (unused) door. It is very draughty and I note that sellotape had been used around it in an attempt to draughtproof it. I could tolerate it but maybe it would be good to have this properly fixed.

If you stop over in Castleton, this brilliant bistro must be visited. They have an extensive menu but we went for 5 dishes from the tapas section, all of which were delicious. We weren't able to pick a favourite! The amazing food is complemented by excellent service. Both waitresses looked after us, regularly topping up our water and happily recommending their favourite dish. In general, you won't be disappointed by places to eat in Castleton but if you're wondering which is the best then the answer is the 1530 bistro!

Had a three course meal in the most gorgeous window seat. The carbonara was absolutely exquisite and the lemon curd crumble was a real favourite. We will be returning.

I cannot recommend this gem of a place enough!We had come to Castleton on our 1st date. The Bull and Castle were close for food due to the adverse weather and upon spotting 15 30 we honestly thought it would be fully booked. Lisa very kindly made sure we had a corner table with high seats. It smelt divine and there was a lovely ambience. Adie is intolerant to gluten but they had a whole array of gluten free options including Peroni so that was an additional bonus! They also stocked Moretti which I was extremely pleased about.The menu had wide choices but we both opted for steaks. The steaks were cooked to perfection with fries and we had peppercorn sauce which was served in a tiny jug. The presentation was excellent. Lisa said how run off her feet she had been as due to pub closures, everyone has descended there. The young lady with the dreadlocks who was waiting on was amazing too. Water was provided at the table and we were given chocolate orange coins with the bill. Incidentally, it was so reasonable. I was expecting the bill to be far more considering what we had and I had 2 bottles of Moretti. Would we go again? Yes. Would I recommend? Absolutely. 10/10 to 15 30. And we are planning our next date next weekend..Thank you Lisa and your excellent team for such a wonderful evening.

We weren’t really sure what we fancied for tea, so we had everything!As well as the usual meals you would expect to see the menu has a huge choice of smaller plates that you can order a few of and share between you.I recommend the cheese brûlée, the trio of lamb cutlets and the prawns in spicy tomato and garlic sauce. All these dishes had amazing flavours!The staff were all very nice and friendly.We will definitely be visiting again next time we’re in Castleton.

We have visited a few times now. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food has always lived up to our expectations: if you ask for your lamb to be pink then it will be. Cosy atmosphere. The food has an Italian theme and reading the reviews, I might be tempted to have a pizza next time!

As regular visitors to Castleton we decided to give 1530 a try finally. We got a table at short notice on the Saturday before Christmas which was a pleasant surprise. We were extremely impressed with the excellent choice of dishes on offer and our choices didn’t let us down. Absolutely delicious dipping breads to start, hearty pasta for our mains then really good cheesecake! We were stuffed. Friendly service in a relaxing environment. Extremely good value too! Worth every penny. We look forward to returning.

Excellent service, great pizza's at £6.00 on a Monday night. Sadly it is not a dog friendly establishment, if it was we would certainly be back on Wednesday night to sample the tapas menu. We also enjoyed the small sweets that are on offer.

First visit and won't be the last. Greeted by very friendly waiter..his recommendations were perfect. The pulled beef cheek lasagne was excellent and pleased it came simply with no chips or salad! Good price for an excellent meal..

Lovely atmosphere and a really good selection to choose. Really good for families as there are good choices for kids/teenagers and more sophisticated choices for adults. The staff are very patient and friendly we had a wonderful time.

Visited on a Sunday evening not expecting it to be that busy however apparently it was so we got seated on a tall table in front of the kitchen and near the toilets. Not great! Was also drafty as another door next to the toilets kept opening. Being so close to the kitchen meant we could see the staff weren’t very busy. They were actually on their phones in between preparing courses - no gloves on. It took a while for our order to be taken but once done, the food arrived very quickly. The pizza was lovely but my vegan option was a bit small and underwhelming. Overall a disappointing experience-food overpriced for what it was and unpleasant table location.

Visited December 2017 and wasn't impressed.........decided to give it a second chance this year and we are so glad we did. Walked in and was met with a smile and good evening. Was shown to our table for 2 straight away. Was poured a glass of water which was constantly topped up by the lovely waitress (unfortunately didn't get her name.....lovely long plaited hair though) Came to take our order efficiently. Brought our wine to the table and poured a little in to each glass. Our candle went out but was quickly replaced.....its the little things that count. Food absolutely AMAZING. We decided to order 2 starters and share. Bread with a trio of butters and Cheese Brulee, and mains beef cheek lasagne and tumbo stew with sides of chips an buttery mint greens. Constantly checking if everything was ok with our food. Loved it will definitely be back without a doubt!!! Thank you 1530

We stayed in Castleton for a few days at the end of November. Having read the reviews for 1530 and noting that there were some favourable reviews by people with Coeliac disease we thought we would give it a try and were glad we did. Delicious food, excellent wine and great service. The staff were very knowledgable about gluten free requirements and where there was any uncertainty they checked with the chef to confirm, which was reassuring and gave us confidence to dine there. We enjoyed it so much we went back for more the following evening.

We visit Castleton every year for the Christmas lights and always book 1530 restaurant for the Saturday night. We are never disappointed. Food is amazing. Service exceptional. The Affagoto dessert is amazing. We look forward to this experience every year.

So glad this restaurant was recommended, very varied menu, food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming as we're the staff, shall definately return to sample more of the menu. Excellent value for money too

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time, on a Monday night. The staff are pleasant, the ambience of the setting is romantic and the quality of the food is excellent. Plus, the pizzas are only £6 on Monday evening. What are you waiting for..? Get there a.s.a.p..!

We have very good friends who live in Cheshire and we live in South Yorkshire so we are always looking for a central location to meet for lunch, with varying results. 1530 is just about central and we lunched there today to celebrate our friend’s birthday. I think this will now become our special place to meet. We all enjoyed an excellent lunch, nothing disappointed, really, really good, well presented and tasty food. We were served by the owner, her husband is the chef (hope his back is getting better), lovely lady, very welcoming and patient, particularly with me as I NEVER know what I want and as this menu is predominantly Italian, nightmare for me to chose as I love Italian food. The sea bass was lovely. Definitely recommended

This is the second time we've been and it won't be the last. Great food - great quality, well cooked and well presented. The decor is good and the atmosphere is relaxing. The staff are friendly and attentive, - they were very helpful when choosing gluten free food and a good gin ! We loved our evening.

The food was lovely, the sevice was amazing, they made sure we'd got everything we needed. We're a healthy group that don't really eat much and it was that good that we all ended up having three courses, (we'd normally dodge the dessert). We had a lovely chat with the aussie lady who runs it at the end as we were leaving and, as a team, they really do try to make it special. We're in Castleton 4-6 times a year, (parents in Hope), and have made a mistake by avoiding is as we don't like carb heavy foods. They have so much other stuff to choose from, we'll be back.

We arrived in Castleton on a Friday night at 6 and asked if they had a table for 2, they seemed to have a lot of reservations but fit us in and gave us a nice corner table. We had 2 servers working our area and both were nice. Food was ok, average wines and I wish it had been a bit brighter as my old eyes don't see as well as they used to.

Great decor, service, loation, staff. Pretty good overall, 2 really nice meals (and one a bit ordinary but fine). Loved the oxtail burger and the steak was generous sized and tasty. served water at the table without asking which always gets a big positive from me.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. A very cosy and warm restaurant. A vast array of Gins and Whisky’s, A great end to a very productive day. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We have eaten at 1530 a few times before and wanted to return. We were greeted by a cheerful member of staff who showed us to a table and served us with water. Drink order promptly taken and delivered and food order taken. A bit of a wait for it to be served but that was no problem and suggested it was being cooked fresh.

Visited 1530 over the weekend and was bowled over with the gorgeous food, wine, service and atmosphere!

This is a really lovely restaurant. We both had pizza and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were there on a Monday night and took advantage of their £6 pizza offer - some restaurants would lower the quality when offering cheaper food but 1530 certainly delivered excellent quality. Pudding was also exceptional. The place was packed and we were lucky to get a table as we hadn't booked.

Great selection of food to suit all tastes from sharing platters, tapas dishes, typical Mediterranean and British dishes to pasta and pizza plus a superb choice of vegetarian and vegan options which were also cooked to perfection (not just a veggie option as a token gesture to keep the vegetarian in the corner happy). There was also a great drinks selection from beers, gins and spirits to a good range of wines. The food and drink are competitively priced and no more expensive than in the local pubs. We loved it so much we went twice during our week long stay!

We went to 1530 for a birthday meal as a family of 4. We live locally and can’t believe we haven’t been until now to eat! Nice atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff, very accommodating towards our 3 year old both with food, friendliness, colouring sheets etc. The food and drinks were beautiful, already planning when we can go again, thanks 1530!

Find Castleton’s eateries below par, feel they don’t really have to try as there’s so much tourist trade. Gave this a go as it had a lot of good reviews and generally I don’t fail with trip advisor!! There’s always a first. Maybe I’m too fussy. Decent ambiance although a little dark, like to see what I’m eating. Waitress service was a little slow but friendly. I had Beef Ragu which was ok but my husband had Lamb Shank which he was really disappointed with. It came covered in tomato sauce ?? which spoilt the dish. Others had varying dishes and all said it was just Ok!! My husband is a Tiramisu connassieur and this wasn’t one!!! Maybe trim down your menu and concentrate and quality.

We visited 1530 on the 24th August and wow the food and service was excellent and everything was made in house. I had the Double Pepperoni pizza which was wonderful and the other 3 in our party had the King Prawn Linguine excellent too followed by the Affogato. An excellent find and a hidden gem in Castleton.

This restaurant is really lovely, the food is lovely, the setting is lovely and the garden at the back is an added bonus. However, the staff are unfriendly to the point of being exceptionally rude and unfriendly and it is because of this that we will not be returning. We were made to feel unwelcome,intrusive and positively uncomfortable. There was no smile, no offer of second drinks and no offer of desserts. Very very poor!

Booked in as a treat for the last night of our short stay in castleton. Great to find a proper restaurant amid the usual pub grub. Starter, main and puddings were all excellent. Wine was good. Everything was reasonably priced.

Was in area for 2 weeks and ate here 6 times , each time could not fault with each dish consistently good and staff brilliant.

We visited 1530 this weekend, a really lovely place with great staff but the food let it down. Tomato Garlic bread that had no garlic on it, Beef Ragu tagliatelle was lacking in flavour and had gristle in it. My friend ordered a new dish on the menu that was cauliflower based, it was so bitter, with way too much lemon rind in it, it was almost inedible. Not all dishes were disappointing but we wouldn’t return, shame because it could be a cracking restaurant.

Called in for a pizza, was surprised how fresh and tasty it was, not salty like many and clearly fresh ingredients - beautiful quick and highly recommended!

We ate here as we were a bit 'pubbed out' with the same old menus in every establishment in the village. This is a really nice place. Pizza, pasta and some more traditional Italian meals were available. The service was really good. It was speedy but polite and friendly and the food when it came was smashing. It is not a cordon bleu restaurant but it is nicer than a pub. Two courses and a couple of glasses of wine and coffees was about £50 so not bad at all. Thanks

Had a super evening,just perfect for us,even hubby left a tip which he never ever does. Will shall return many more times

Good atmosphere and friendly and efficient waitress. Food on the whole was very tasty, and house wine extremely pleasant. Prices reasonable. But there were a couple of issues which grated and hence a 3 rather than 4 star review. I ordered a lamb dish which was advertised as being accompanied by a yogurt and mint dip. It wasn't until the dish arrived that i was told that there was no yogurt and mint dip as 'chef was unhappy with the consistency'. As a regular user of greek yogurt in (and with) savoury dishes this seemed a weak excuse. I was offered mayonnaise (which i can't stand) or balsamic vinegar - which was just wrong for the dish. Unfortunately, without this, the food seemed rather dry and not as tasty as it should have been. My husband had a calzone which looked to me a little burned. He said it was nice but certainly not the best he'd had. He had to ask for a steak knife to open it up. Then, just before i left, i used the loo. The tap wouldn't turn on, and although i tried hard i didn't want to use too much force in case it broke. i informed the manageress/owner who didn't seem surprised and said it probably just needed some WD40! I was rather surprised at her reaction as my view is that working taps in a restaurant toilet are essential. I haven't seen any other mention of this, so hopefully that was a one off issue.

We went as a couple. My wife is vegan but there was a small selection for her and she waxed lyrical about the main course she had. I chose the lamb shank which was delicious. Service was friendly, menu choice was large. We had a good evening there.

Went here twice when in Castleton with a group of friends. Good service, good food, reasonable prices. Whats more to say. Would go again if in area.

Enjoyed dinner here on our last evening. Mad Monday is a pizza offer and we were definitely ready for one after a walk that day. Food was great and service was even better. The two young women who looked after us had excellent customer service skills. A real credit to the restaurant, making an enjoyable experience a memorable experience. Thank you.

A well presented restaurant. Good menu and well cooked food. Service was excellent and very friendly. We thought it was a cut above the local pubs and eateries

The website said they opened at 5.30, when I arrived it turned out they didn't plan to open til 6pm. After waiting around and getting v hungry I ordered the lemon chicken pasta for £12 - the bowl of food that turned up was so tiny I thought they had accidentally delivered it as the appetiser-sized option. But no - I was charged the full price for about 6 mouthfuls. The food was ok but nothing more than that and the price was ridiculous for the size of the portion.

It was a pleasure to make my first visit to 1530 tonight with some good friends who live locally in the village. We were made really welcome, the menu was excellent with some creative dishes. I had mussels, and they were served in a gorgeous white wine sauce with garlic bread. Service was efficient and warm, and the food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Excellent!

Were recommended this place by friends , did not disapoint . Food was considerably better than the " chain " Italians with some different takes on dishes . Service excellent despite it being packed . Would go again
