Bank House Hathersage in Derbyshire Dales

The food was lovely.we sat outside it was a lovely day.

We stopped off at Hathersage for lunch on the way for our easter holiday. We went to the Bank House as it had an outdoor seating area and a good menu but slightly expensive but we don’t mind that. We ordered food and drinks for me my wife and two children (also have a children’s menu). We had been waiting 40 mins when the waitress came over and said that the chef had made kids chicken and chips instead of fish and chips is that ok. My son said he didn’t want chicken and wanted the fish we were told 2 minutes. When the food came the adult meals were on the luke warm side but the other child meal(sausage and Mash) was cold so we sent it back. It then arrived back warm after being obviously microwaved as the plate was red hot now. We payed good money for a lunch that none of us enjoyed and would not return.

Nipped in for a quick breakfast muffin and it did not disappoint. Absolutely lovely.

Nice bar with good outside seating. Beer selection ok, only one IPA was was nice Abbydale heathen which went down very well!

Nice place to socialise. Reasonable prices

We stopped at The Bank House after a dog walk and sat outside. We all had a drink, service was good and the outside space is well laid out, well kept and tidy. I've no idea what the food is like, because we only had beers and coffee. However, the menu looked varied and had plenty of vegetarian options. We only paid a short visit on this occasion, but if we're ever in Hathersage again, I would not hesitate to revisit this lovely little spot.

Stopped here for some food after a 5 mile hike in the Peaks! This was the perfect location with a lovely beer garden, the food was incredible and a very refreshing drink in the sun I would come back again!

Had a few of the small plates, halloumi, sticky chicken, beef rib and chipolata's. Each dish was fantastic, decent price and there wasn't a long wait for it.

A lovely place excellent food and service can't be faulted.

We enjoyed a lovely evening, with great food, tonight. 30% offer on food which we all would have happily paid the usual full price. We will continue to recommend this place to everyone. Thank you 🤩

Had a wonderful breakfast at Bank House. I booked since I know its very popular and we weren't disappointed. Arrived ,on a beautiful sunny day in January ,in stunning Hathersage and had a stroll to Bank House. Such an impressive building with the added bonus of a huge Tepee outside already full of walkers warming. Greeted inside with a warm welcome and shown to our table, we ordered coffees, two Derbyshire breakfasts, mushrooms on toast and a granola smoothie bowl. Everyone was very impressed with the quality ,taste and presentation of the food ,quite honestly delicious. 10/10 Bank House we will be back, maybe trying lunch next time.

We ordered lamb burger and soft shell crab burger and this is too good not to leave a 5-star review. Loved the soft shell crab burger! I didn’t intent to order this at first but am so glad I changed my mind. It’s surprisingly good and portion was not small with a reasonable price. We don’t live around Hathersage but for sure will come back again next time, even just for the crab burger!

I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants in Derbyshire. We very rarely get to venture out on date nights because of child care. But we did on this occasion and it did not disappoint! The service that we received from liv and Jamie was beyond 5 star, always serving with a smile. The food was also fantastic. We had the burger plater and it was phenomenal! Cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you

Two stars for the English Sparkling wine and aesthetic. Staff shockingly obnoxious, rude and could not care less about creating a warm and inviting space for customers. From reading other reviews, this appears to be a reoccurring theme which management/owner should review. We will not be returning.

Really enjoyed our evening, lovely food and cocktails. Also great service from Liv. Would recommend and definitely come again.

We booked after a long walk at curbar edge for my partners birthday. Atmosphere was chilled and relaxing, drinks were incredible - the Spiced Mojito was amazing! Food is fresh, full of flavour and delicious. Wide selection of main meals, small plates and sharing boards. My partner was spoilt for choice with beer and lagers! Archie was really attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble! We will definitely be back, thank you!

What a lovely place ❤️ stopped here for some dinner after our walk and our waiter Archie was GREAT! Such a friendly atmosphere with good food.

Had a lovely evening, brilliant food and great service.

The food was tasty but the portions are quite small for the price we paid..

An unreasonable wait of an hour for food for our table tonight, after we pre-ordered the day before. Having arrived at the booked table for 7.45 we did not receive food at the table until nearly 9, way too late after that to be offered a desert. Polite but slow service from food to getting the bill.

A beautiful restaurant but disappointing. We waited 10 minutes just to be seated, followed by another 10 minutes to receive menus. It took an hour for our mains to arrive at this point it was nearly 10pm. Other guests were also complaining about delays. Service was painfully slow throughout, and while I appreciate potential staff shortages, it would have been helpful if this had been acknowledged Several menu items were unavailable, which added to the disappointment The food itself didn’t reflect the quality or presentation shown on the website. I also think the monkfish didn’t need to be battered, this overwhelmed the flavor, and the dish ended up feeling like a very expensive fish finger sandwich. We also requested a swap from potato gratin to fries, which they must have forgotten about as this wasn’t changed. I understand these are all little things but they do build up and put a dampener on the experience Overall, while the ambiance was beautiful and the staff were lovely - the poor service, long waits, and underwhelming food left me very disappointed.

Great place. Amazing food. Ellie and Archie served us. And they were fantastic. We will be back

We had the sharing board, 2 chicken burgers, dirty fries, sweet chilli chicken bites, Cooked lovely, staff were lovely and friendly. It's definitely worth a visit.

Boxing Day after a walk round Hathersage we called into the Bank House sat outside in the teepee nice and festive. The food menu looks good, but we only called in for hot drinks. Will call in for food when next in the area.

Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic location, gets very busy so best to book. Service is split between lunch and evening, would recommend upstairs.

Really great service and food! Just wanted to thank Ellie and team for being flexible and moving around bookings to make sure we had enough time to eat. Would highly recommend!

Very busy and great atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal. Good place to go with friends.

Food and staff excellent, highly recommend

we went first time just for drinks, second time in the ski lodge tent for food. everything was nice, the beer, the cocktails and the food was really good. Great setup and very nicely done inside too

Absolutely wonderful food, lots of choice, so definitely coming back! Service friendly and helpful Good glass of wine too! Four very happy people! Thank you 🙏🏻

Last minute visit here for me and my partner but we can’t wait to come back! Food has been amazing! We saw a few reviews saying it was overpriced but we disagree. Being a Monday night the restaurant was quiet but still had atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Attended at Bank House today. Initially walked in to not be acknowledged at all. Had to ask a waitress where the toilet was as they would not speak to us. Then when going to order, I was stood at the bar area with my partner for approximately 10 minutes without being acknowledged again. The server behind the bar was called Tara and she was extremely rude. We then left and went to a cafe further down the hill where they had amazing service and lovely food. Definitely recommend people to go to the new cafe next door go outdoors!!

Lovely food, great atmosphere with some good music.The friendly staff (tara and Lucy) were very helpful and quick service.

Delicious food with friendly staff in a vintage setting.

We have been twice in the last two weeks, and both times had exceptional food and great service. The sharing boards are a nice way for a social dinner. Lucy, the waitress, who we saw both times, was friendly and working hard on what was a busy night!

Bustling and friendly in the bar with an impressive cocktail maker, complete with all the moves. The menu is simple, good quality pub food. I was impressed that when I commented my glass of Bollinger didn’t have many bubbles, I immediately received a glass of with plenty. I drank both. Cheers.

Nice food, good service but a little bit pricey.

A bit pricey but normal for hathersage, friendly bar staff, nice ipa

We came to The Bank House on Wednesday evening for a birthday celebration in a group of 6. Good parts, service was friendly, welcoming and the food was nice. After a while orders were taken. Me and my partner ordered the house share platter, another couple ordered two steaks and another a beef burger which were all nice. 40 pound each for the share platters which would have been quite high if not for the 50% midweek offer. The final order was a Greek share platter which the last person had. This was disappointing to say the least, small wrap of halloumi, oily houmous and generally a poor selection compared to the other share platters. Nothing special about the flavour either, tasted shop bought. Price was again high for this, not even worth the half price value speaking frankly and not enough for a sharing platter. Again this took a little while to arrive. Being a celebration we ordered desserts. These took a good 40 - 50 minutes to arrive and again were a mixed bag. 5 of our table ordered the cookie desserts, I believe 10 pounds each. A cookie heated up with a scoop of ice cream, not alot for 10 pounds. But the metaphical icing on the cake was my Eton Mess. 11 pounds for a single scoop of ice cream, shop bought meringne (crumbled and not even half a nest!)and a bland moose. Have attached a picture above for reference and safe to say I was disappointed especially after our near hour wait. Atmosphere would have been good but we were sat in front of a very loud 10 person party. To the point where we couldn't hear ourselves think. Again this would have been acceptable if the rest of the floor was busy, but the other end had a large empty table. We had all been pushed to the same place. So following this experience we won't be having another meal of this type here. Imagine it's good place for drinks and snacks but not for 2 course meals. With so meny other options in Hathersage it's not a place we will be coming to again for a while.

Decent food, but not spectacular, maybe tries a bit too hard to be a little different. Still, worth a visit.

Just very good. We had the seafood platter which was delicious, well cooked and balanced. Shared a couple of glasses of wine. The service was prompt and friendly. Also got lucky with the weather which was sunny and still - not so common for October, but definitely brought the experience together well.

Wonderful staff and food. Thank you for doing so many veggie and vegan options.

Sunday dinner was terrific !! Tender beef bedded onto creamed cabbage, topped with a homemade Yorkshire pudding and a rich silky gravy. Roast potatoes were great and a side dish of glazed carrots, parsnips and cauliflower with bechamel sauce. The extra boat of gravy shows this place just wants to please. A mouthwatering and well presented dinner that was obviously cooked with care. Glad I booked the table as it was busy and credit to the Bank House for their service. I really enjoyed the quality and preparation in this establishment and therefore would make this my first choice for a Sunday dinner in the future. There are also plenty of other options on their menu on a Sunday. Thanks Bank House, it's a five star from me!

Top marks all round. Started with foccachia finished with pistachio cheesecake. Both fabulous!

Beautiful breakfast and coffee, will 100% be returning

Had a light lunch there today. Food was top notch (try the dauphinois potato fries!). Served by Ellie who looked after us.

Nice place, expensive drinks. Lovely local ales. Did not try the food but looked good.

Menus great again. Def recommend

Lovely food and even lovelier staff (Izzy and Becca, who were very busy bees the entire night). Food on the pricier side but we picked the cheaper options and were still nice!!

Great place for dinner after a walk round Little John's Grave. Lovely outside seating, perfect for a sunny day, service was absolutely fantastic and the food was delicious. The KFC chicken burgers were a highlight for our group. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Lovely bar, great staff a bit on the pricey side but the bar inside and out

We came for lunch today and ordered the Bank House Board. I am allergic to avocado but not only does it not state on the menu what is on the burger but also at no point was I asked if I had any allergies. When I raised the issue after receiving the food and luckily seeing that inside the burger their was avacado my plate was taken away to replace the burger. This however meant I was unable to eat the sharing platter with my partner as I was never offered another plate which completely ruined the sharing part of the meal and eating together. What I can assume was a manager as she never introduced herself came over. I informed her that the server never asked about any allergies. She then stated that I should've notified them of an allergy as it was my responsibility and they don't ask as its on the back of the menu, not exactly top level customer service. The server places the menu face up on the table so why would anyone think to look on the back. This blatant disregard for issues that could effectively hospitalise someone is unbelievable. The worst part is when we received our bill you had the audacity to put service charge on it.

An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect, the food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I will definitely return and highly recommend it!

Great way to end a walk in the Peaks. The service was impeccable and the food perfectly cooked. Would recommend a visit if you are looking for high quality food and drinks in Hathersage

Great service and lovely food - we booked as at the lido in Hathersage and weren’t disappointed. Great burgers, and the kids loved stroking Hugo the resident puppy!

Fabulous place to eat and drink, all staff work hard and are very friendly. Good selection of food for all.

Food was excellent,service was prompt and attentive,atmosphere was just right, not too bright and decor was classy. Really enjoyed our meal out .

Long waiting time before get the food

Friendly waiters, delicious food that was very nicely presented. I had the ratatouille, dauphinoise potato and bavette steak. All amazing!

Lovely place in the centre of Hathersage.We had excellent coffee and cake sat outside in the sun.The staff were lovely and helpful.Really recommend a visit to this place.

Excellent restaurant with a really good selection of tasty dishes, the small plates are highly recommended.

Had lovely staff & atmosphere and very nice tea and cakes. We would recommend pistachio cheesecake and hazelnut tart (with the second being a bit less sweet than the first)

Service appalling deliberately kept waiting due to a complaint I made 2 weeks ago. The waitress attitude with management left alot to be desired. Served tea separately bringing the cups then disappearing instead of serving all on one tray. The crockery and cutlery were dirty. Couple of thoroughly unpleasant women who tried to make our visit as unpleasant as possible.

Very disappointing meal. I had the steak which was OK, decent size but a bit tasteless. My husband had the sole. The fish was nice but he was expecting a meal. The menu descibes permentier potatoes, shrimp,caper and girolle mushrooms with fennel veloute. In reality it was served with those ingredients as a dressing, misleading in our opinion especially when it wasn't suggested he may need some side dishes when ordering. I had to share my meal with him. The waitress did bring us another portion of the 'dressing' but it was poor value for money.

Seems a nice place. A shame the bar staff who served us was totally disinterested, unapproachable and gave the impression he just didn’t want to be there.

My partner and I stopped off at The Bank House by chance when on a day visit to The Peak District It was a nice warm day and we sat outside It was a really nice garden and we enjoyed the ambiance The food was great I had the fish pie and my partner had the Bank House burger Both were excellent and I would recommend them If we happen to be in the Hathersage area again we will certainly visit

Busy restaurant. Outside seating. Sunday lunch good value. Children and dog friendly.

Food was amazing, service was quick and polite, everything you’d want

A very well presented restaurant and bar with a range of tables indoors and outside under cover. Just as happy serving a late afternoon coffee as enticing you with wine list and restaurant menu. This is helpful when the other nearby cafés and deli are finished for the day.

Five of us came for a birthday meal which was booked for 8.00pm. We arrived on time and were told that our table wasn’t ready. When we asked how long we’d wait, we got told “I don’t know” and we were left standing in the crowded bar area. Our table became ready at around 8.20pm and we sat upstairs in the calm and pleasant restaurant. We were told that the scallops had run out, so we asked if they could be substituted for another item, because two of us wanted to have the fish sharing platter, and we were told that the entire platter wasn’t available. We were told there would be a half hour wait for food due to the restaurant being busy. After we had ordered our food at around 8.40pm, our olives and peppers arrived quite quickly, but we didn’t get our main courses until around 9.30pm. The gnocchi was so salty it was inedible, and the hake, described as a “large plate” was the size of a post-it note, and overcooked. The accompanying veg was delicious but there wasn’t enough to justify the £26 price. The soft shell crab burger was missing its pea fritter and truffle mayo. The meat sharing platter was delicious. The house white wine (Portuguese) was good too. We advised our lovely server about the food issues and she was apologetic. We ended up not paying for the uneaten gnocchi and got a few quid knocked off the hake. This was a really disappointing experience, seeing as two of us had been for lunch here a few months ago and the food and service was excellent. We apportion no blame to the serving staff, but something had gone very wrong that night, and being busy isn’t really an excuse.

Nice bar, friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of drinks

Shared the burger sharing board and opted for the chicken burger option. The food was fabulous 👌 and the cocktail I had was refreshing AF. for the alcohol free lovelies out there my partner had a kit kat hot chocolate which he said was great also! Our server was lovely and attentive also. She was very friendly. Would come back again 👌

The bartender outside was very rude, so we left.

Atrocious. Booked a table (on their website) for 9pm. Got confirmation email. Turned up at 9pm just to be told their kitchen had closed at 8:30pm. No explanation of why they'd allowed me to book a table. A half-hearted apology and that was it. I wouldn't have felt quite so annoyed if they'd had the decency to offer an explanation and look halfway sorry. They then had the gall to send me an email asking for feedback on my meal 🙄

Fabulous location, perfect stay , Access to local pubs etc and the great outdoors , very chilled atmosphere

We were there a few days ago. We had one of their steak burgers. It was excellent. Had their salt and pepper fries as well. Also excellent. A tad pricey but you get what you pay for. Food is all according to individual taste. Some people prefer Macdonald's burgers to a gourmet burger at a restaurant so all I can say is I enjoy freshly made food made from fresh ingredients and cooked well and with care and presented well. Also good customer service. My experience was all of the above and so I highly recommend it. They did other dishes as well. Check out their menu on line.

Nice location but the poke bowl I had was the worst I ever had!

Awful service, bartender made a cutting remark after we politely asked if they were still serving. The wine was quite nice though. If you are a tourist, maybe give this one a miss and go to a local pub instead.

We hired a room at Bank House for a pre-wedding meet and greet party the night before the big day. The manager and staff were so attentive and helpful throughout. The food was absolutely fabulous and the venue was beautiful. It was the perfect pre-wedding event which was enjoyed by everybody. Thank you so much to Bank House for making this a special evening.

Impressive bar in the heart of Hathersage. Fantastic wine selection. Wife and I stuck to Peroni. Table service would have been nice. Seems the locals could get staff to bring drinks to them but not tourists. 😉

Great food well worth the visit but couldn't get to the bar as drinkers were sat there and drinks were a bit pricey

My boyfriend and I booked the Bank House on a Friday night. We sat upstairs where it was quite cosy and chilled. Probably, it's the only positive thing I can say about the place. We ordered a small plate each and a main to follow. To pair with the food we asked about a bottle of red. A few minutes later we were told that they didn't have that particular bottle which was fair enough so we ordered another bottle. The waitress was looking for it for 15 minutes, eventually, she grabbed the bottle that was literally behind her on the wine shelf and tried to open it. When we asked to see the label, the wine had absolutely nothing to do with what we ordered. Probably they didn't have the second one as well so the waitress just came around with a random bottle. Obviously, we skipped on that as we were waiting for a while and eventually didn't get what we were asking for. But the highlight of the evening was the main course. I ordered monkfish, my boyfriend - steak. I can't complain about my main as I ate it all, the only one thing I can say afterwards - peculiar and weird. Doesn't taste fish at all, and the mash doesn't combine with other ingredients. My boyfriend’s request on the steak’s stage of cooking was med-rare. Never happened. It was close to well done so he sent it back. 10 minutes later when I was sat with an empty plate he had his RARE steak so he didn't have that one either. When we asked about the bill, the manager brought it over and talked to us about our experience. Obviously, we didn't pay for a steak because my boyfriend had none of them. We also were given a £10 voucher each for the next visit that we are never going to use as it was too much of a disappointment. If you looking forward to a meal out, book somewhere else as going to Bank House can ruin expectations.

Nice food and service definitely will be back soon

Unfortunately I was really looking forward to this dinner I had booked over Easter but was really disappointed. Arrived on time for our booking but the table wasn’t ready yet, once seated waited 40minutes for drinks, wine I ordered wasn’t in stock, the wine the waitress recommended to us also turned out to not be in stock which was a shame. Third attempt at a wine and it tasted as if it had turned. Finally got drinks an hour after arriving. Food was very average unfortunately - got the Japanese share plate. What I can say is that the staff were all really lovely and friendly! Just a shame about the wait times and food quality. Would maybe stop by for a beer at the bar but wouldn’t book in to eat here again.

The place looks great and is celery well maintained and cleaned. However, there is no background music and feels a bit soulless.. food was very average for the price and time for meals to be served was very slow.. I was with my 19 year old son who was asked for ID which he did not have. I assured the manager I was his dad (I’m 50) .. He replied ‘ how do I know for sure your his dad’ and refused to serve him a drink.. Bizarre … some time someone sense helps

We ate here last night as a family to celebrate my birthday and we’re so happy we chose Bank House. It was outstanding. They happily swapped my son’s burger pattie for a vegetarian one (moving mountains and cooked to perfection), the chicken burger was loved by my daughter, and husband and I shared the ‘Shifudu board’ seafood platter. The amount of food was just right and everything cooked perfectly. Best meal we’ve all had in some time. We will definitely go back. Thank you Bank House. Note the menu has recently changed so check the website not the pictures of the menu on Google 😉

Friendly welcome. Great service. Wide choice of food - more unusual dishes. Highly recommend.

Visited Bank House Hathersage for lunch with 7 friends after a long hike. Despite not booking, the staff accommodated us in a private dining room, making it extra special. Service was attentive, food exceptional, and the ambiance perfect. Can't wait to return! Highly recommend.

amazing food, well cooked steak and burger. Very very very good.

We only had a drink on a Saturday evening. We found it a bit too up itself for our liking, but others may enjoy it. Didn't have food, so I can't comment on that.

A lovely venue. But the food is definitely overpriced for what you get. 10 of us eat here. The seafood sandwich was literally a deli filler on a white hot dog bread roll, no butter, not toasted quite a let down, we all ordered a wide variety of food and no one was impressed with anything. My T bone was overcooked and had a lot of chewy bits. However the vine tomatoes were really nice as were the chips. Definitely won’t be visiting again. Very disappointed.

We had two Sunday roast dinners, nut roast and pork loin, and one halloumi burger. The food was great, well presented and very tasty. Care had clearly been taken in preparing it. It was a busy Sunday afternoon but our table was in a corner and we were not rushed. Hard working staff were welcoming and attentive. Thank you for the complimentary drinks to mark our lovely daughter's birthday!

The atmosphere on a Saturday evening was superb, we highly recommend eating here and this was our first time but won't be the last. The service was fantastic from walking to through the door to leaving! We both enjoyed your delicious food (especially the fillet steak and dauphinoise chips). The evening was everything we hoped it would be! Thank you so much Bankhouse hathersage..

Lovely food and drink. Fantastic service. Dog friendly. What more could you want from a Restaurant & Bar? We ate inside but they also have a lovely outside seating area, and as it is February have a wood burning stove lit for both atmosphere and to thaw out those hardy enough to eat and drink outside. Highly Recommended

It was my Birthday and we passed by the Bank House and decided to sit outside with some warm drinks and a pastry. I ordered a hot chocolate, a cappuccino and a cake at the counter inside, and the chap who served me was very brusque and abrupt from the get-go, and it really felt as though I was putting him out. (He was tall, slim, half-caste, wearing some Vans skater shoes). I was offered no spoons or sugar or a tray to carry it outside. I had to ask the younger dark-haired guy who was extremely helpful and kept apologising and actually carried the drinks and plate outside with me. The guy who took my order really soured the experience and has stopped me going back to try the food which actually looked very good. Also, while the drinks were nice and flavourful, the cappuccino was lukewarm.

Sunday lunch was good. The pudding menu was disappointing so we didn't have anything.

Outstanding venue, food and service. Visited here on Saturday night, they have made a gorgeous venue, superb food, great service, thank you so much!

The food was quite good but overpriced even for a tourist area for the standard that we received. We went on a Monday lunchtime out of season so it was pretty quiet. Nice place and the food came out quickly but staff more interested in talking about their weekend than making it a nice experience for us. Again, wouldn't have minded if the bill at the end had reflected this. Overall, we thought it was overpriced and we were underwhelmed!

Cozy atmosphere, nice friendly and helpful staff, good lattes, good food.
