Bulls Head Hotel in Derbyshire Dales

I visited this pub about a week ago. No vegetarian options AT ALL on the menu; we managed to find a solution by having a veg starter stretched into a main course. I was disappointed by the attitude of the pub owner: she looked like she really did not care, and would rather be somewhere else. She was efficient enough at organising things but kept a stern face during the evening. The rest of the satff were sweet enough and friendly. Overall, not a great experience.

We had 2 meals here and they were both superb. The staff were very apologetic on our first visit as they had run out of some ingredients following a very busy weekend, however, they still had a wide range of choice even for a vegetarian like me. Food was homemade, staff attentive and friendly, Very welcoming in a relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money.

We enjoyed 2 well cooked meals in this pub. Staff were friendly and service was good. Food took a little while but was to be expected with the excellent quality of meals produced. Slight disappointment was that full menu wasn’t available each time but perhaps that is understandable in the cure uncertainty that pubs face. Certainly would return again.

We arrived 2 hours early thought we'd pop in for a drink after arriving in the village for our holiday cottage. The member of staff who greated us was very friendly and made us feel welcome we explained that we'd booked a table later for food and asked if it would be possible to change this to an outside table as it was a lovely day. The staff member was really helpful said it wouldn't be a problem asked us where we would like to sit and reserved it for later. When we came back for food our table was all ready for us, the food was amazing we shared the chicken starter with Chipotle mayo dip then my partner had fish and chips and I had steak. We couldn't fault it at all! It was amazing, we then shared a Bakewell pudding, a must have! All the staff where really helpful and friendly made us feel really welcome so much so we've booked in again for later in the week can't wait. Thanks to all the team!

What a refreshing change from our dire experience at The Peacock in Bakewell yesterday! Friendly and efficient service and tasty food. The steak and ale pie went down very well! When I questioned if my chicken burger was properly cooked the chef took the trouble to come out to explain and politely reassure us of the reason for the colour on the meat. Highly recommend for those who like a 'real pub' experience.

We had the pie of the day and the Gammon and Wow, the Steak and Ale pies were full of meat and tasty pastry, the gammon was proper gammon, thick and tasty, and the Chios and additional items were all great. Nice surroundings nice and cosy and the staff were all friendly and welcoming, wearing face coverings but you could still tell they were smiling underneath. Well done, will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

We visited in May 2021. We ordered the fried chicken to start which was delicious. My wife had the vegetarian Thai curry and I had the beer battered fish and chips. Decent sized portions and fresh cooked meals. Highly recommended

Popped in here whilst on a weekend away in the local area and had a great time. We sat out back after a walk in the local area and was blown away by the place. All the staff were extremely friendly and the whole place was very clean.I'm vegan and my wife and daughter aren't. The menu is very clear on what contains what so I could see what was suitable for me. There was only one dedicated vegan dish (a good looking curry) but as it was I settled on some chips and onion rings as I in more of a picky mood, that said I could finish them as they were huge. My wife had a brisket cob which in her words was immense. Even the kids chicken and chips was homemade. Looking at what everyone else was eating you could see it was all homemade and the portion sizes are bang on (don't eat a big brunch like I stupidly did before visiting).Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and in fact already have done!

Fantastic country, local, pub. Visiting the area for the first time I am so impressed with the friendliness of the staff on a chilly evening. We had a difficult mix of diets and ages(2-63) to cater for and nothing was too much trouble. Children’s fish and chips was substantial and tasty and the veggie pie was delicious! Thanks for a lovely evening

Visited Youlgreave for a weekend of relaxation and stunning views. Pre-booked our table for the three nights that we were there. Staff very friendly and accommodating , good selection of ales and the pies were excellent. Definitely return one day.

We called here for a meal after a lovely walk by the river. Food was good and service excellent and friendly. We sat outside in sunshine in a sun trap at rear of pub. I have to commend the cleanliness of the loos. I have never ever seen cleaner toilets in any establishment. I felt it was a very safe Covid environment.

Proper pub grub! Both mains and desserts were homemade and delicious! Portion sizes were larger than expected. Our first meal during our trip to the Peak District and dare I say we’ll be back again before we leave!

Today we enjoyed a family lunch at The Bulls Head one of our local pubs.. We had a long walk with our boys (4 & 8) and we were all ready for dinner. We enjoyed delicious fish finger sarnies, cheese & chutney sarnies and scampi & chips. We felt safe with the covid measures in place - clean tables, table service, Sanitiser stations & track & trace.Be back soon

This was a lovely place to spend an evening for a meal with the family. The place had a cosy feel to it and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The food was tasty but the portions weren’t huge. That was ok as we made up for it with pudding!

With a world in turmoil and the need to wear face coverings (which, when you’re as ugly as I am is a bonus) I decided to return yet again to the Bulls Head for Sunday lunch. In these challenging times it’s always refreshing to be greeted with a masked member of staff who for all I know is as ugly as me, and never know whether they are pleased to see you or not. However, the speed of being seated at a pre-booked table suggested I was welcome. Dom I ascertained as his name (bar tender/waiter and all round jolly good at his job) took our order for both food and drink. Within a moment drinks were served at the table without us having to lift a finger. Steering toward both beef and lamb (or as they say in these parts ‘a bit of both’) we waited patiently but within a short period the meals arrived stunningly presented and with a stylish pizazz. I do love the way the chef always sends food out that is appealing to the eye and after a brief period was definitely appealing to the palette. The key I think, is the way the vegetables are cooked and even the fussiest of eaters would swoon at the clever flavours. Please don’t take that meaning children would enjoy them as they most certainly wouldn’t. Far too complicated flavours to sustain an immature tastebud in between screaming their heads off and making the ears bleed of anyone seeking a lovely quiet meal in a country pub. In fact, I’d also suggest the flavours and depth of effort in presentation wouldn’t be suitable for dog owners either, seeking a need to take their family mutt into the beautiful countryside to disperse their pets dog hairs around clean bars and restaurants deep in the lack of understanding, intelligence and comprehension that there are people who don’t want to dine in the presence of a four legged thing due being allergic to both the dog and their owners. All that said, a beautiful meal, possibly one of the finest Sunday lunches in Derbyshire bar none served by some of the best hospitality staff in the business. I’ll definitely be back...

When I visit a pub nowadays the most important thing for me is seeing that covid rules are being implementented and adhered to. Therefore I wasn’t comfortable seeing a member of staff walking around the pub without a mask. I was then shocked when a customer without any face covering came in, walked to the bar, ordered a drink and got served at the bar. After finishing his drink he went back to the bar and got served again. I thought it was table service only.We left at 9.58 pm, the bar still had quite a few people in with full pints. The pub also has a room with a pool table, eight people were standing in this room playing pool, not one of them had a face covering.

Took a while to arrive (nearly an hour), but was worth the wait as the food was really good and good portion size too. The chef provided a great, homemade chili sauce as an accompaniment. Reasonable price. Female server was a bit sullen.

We visit this village on a regular basis and The Bulls Head just gets better and better. Had a fantastic meal there last night excellent food - but the onion rings were the best I have ever tasted! Martin, Nicola and team are doing an absolutely amazing job in the current climate and the added pressure that has been put upon them all - anyone who criticises here seriously need to take a step back. If you are in the area pay them a visit you won’t be disappointed and if you are then you really must be hard to please. Food, drinks, service, cleanliness, organisation 5* plus. Will be frequenting the premises for the rest of our stay and counting down the days until we can come back again! Carry on what you are doing Martin & Nicola you really are doing an excellent job.

We stayed in Youlgrave for a long weekend and on our first evening ate at the Bulls Head, the service and friendly environment created by all staff was marvelous and the food was absolutely phenomenal. We also took food out on Sunday evening at short notice that was also amazing! Strongly recommend to anyone passing through the area.

what an impressive menu which doesn’t disappoint. great service. lovely pub. can’t wait to go back regularly

Another fantastic meal courtesy of Jasper the talented chef at the Bulls Head. Thanks to Martin, Nichola and all the staff for creating a really safe environment for customers.In these hard times and with the latest curfew we need to show our support even more to keep these valuable local enterprises open.

We managed to visit the Bulls Head one evening during our recent visit to Youlgreave. What a popular place and so glad we booked. I couldn't get through on the phone but emailed and received a response the next day. The food was excellent, and the portions huge. The desserts sounded great but we just couldn't manage it. Well worth a visit.

Excellent Sunday lunch with good friendly service in good old English pub atmosphere. I had the beef and the three others, the lamb. Recommended.

Really good Sunday lunch, massive Yorkshire pudding. Great value and excellent service. Would definitely visit again

Me and my partner came here Friday evening, I had the sea bass which was cooked to perfection! My partner had the home made pasta ragu which he said was a taste sensation, we also had the chicken wings for starters which surpasses any I’ve had before, spoke to the chef who came across as really enthusiastic about the food which certainly showed with the taste! We Will definitely be coming back again and again!!

The service is excellent, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Food excellent. Thank you we will be back.

Ate here a couple of times during our holiday. Great food (those pies!), nice cosy local pub. Friendly staff. Would certainly recommend. Need to book- they were doing at least 2 sittings a night

Really enjoyable evening in this lovely pub . The food was excellent, very generous portions . As a vegetarian invariably pub menus can be challenging but I had the best risotto I’ve ever eaten .......beetroot and butternut with goats cheese ..... delicious, thank you !

Just been for a suprise birthday lunch with lovely friends.brilliant meal and lovely service from Dom.Everybody enjoyed it and decided to do it every month from now on

Had the pleasure of eating here twice whilst staying in the village. Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff, however the food is what sets this place apart. Steak was amazing, but the lamb ragu with homemade pasta was pure perfection on a plate and one of the nicest things I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Can't recommend highly enough. 5

Went a couple of times with the family and its always a bit hit and miss whether the kids will actually eat the food. The kids menu is sometimes poor quality in pubs, so I wasn't expecting anything special. The kids both had sausage and mash. For the first time in a lonf time my lad ate it all up. He's not a big lover of mash, but loved this. Good quality sausages and lovely creamy mash and gravy.I had the chicken burger, which isn't something I usually order. It was superb! The Mrs would usually order this, but was put off as it contained brie. It works really well and the chicken was clearly freshly cooked. It was served in a brioche bun and I can honestly say it was the best chicken burger I've ever had. The Mrs had the duck salad starter and said it was beautiful. I was so impressed I said we'd be going again that week. The kids had the same (and ate it all). The Mrs took my recommendation and had the chicken burger, and I had the pie of the day. It was beef and Stilton and was absolutely lovely. I'd have loved to have tried their desserts, but was simply too full. We booked a table for both visits, which I would definitely recommend as some people were unable to find a table to order food. If you can't get through on the phone to book, look them up on Facebook and send thereti on draught. Good selection of gin too. Staff were friendly and polite. I would definitely recommend paying this pub a visit.

Last minute decision for an early dinner after doing the Monsal Trail in near 30 degree heat!We had a wonderful meal, the staff and food are a credit to you in these difficult times, nothing was too much trouble, the homemade burgers were a particular hit with our teenage boys. I won’t name and shame but you have put a multi award winning pub in Cheshire to shame!Thanks again and hope to return soon. The Farrall Family x

We had a fantastic family meal for 4. We had two courses and I would highly recommend the burgers. Great home cooked food and great value for money.

We made a last minute decision to go for dinner in Youlgreave and were really lucky to get in here. My husband enjoyed his sausage & mash and my steak & blue cheese pie was very tasty. We both enjoyed our puddings, sticky toffee for him and a delicious Bakewell for me. The social distancing was observed with a marquee in the outside yard for extra seating which worked well and the staff were friendly and efficient. Thanks for making room for us and for a delicious meal, we’ll make sure to book next time!

The service was amazing, all staff and family were super kind, they really tailored the experience to meet such a high standard and the decorations made the room feel very homely. The seats were so comfy and is such a high standard compared to what is expected. And the meal was absolutely amazing and took no time at all for 6 people’s worth of meals. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were absolutely amazed at how high the standards was. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s in the area. :))

We called in after our walk on 3rd August. The bar staff were great. The outdoor seating was comfortable. The food was lovely especially the off menu salad they made for me. We felt safe with the covid measures taken. Thankyou.

My husband’s pasta dish was microscopic - despite being the price of a main meal. He wss given an extra serving after we complained but the staff were ungracious about it. The landlady even made a disingenuous comment about it being a rich and buttery dish - when my plate contained a humongous portion of fish and chips. All the meat and fish dishes were generous. This is pathetic given how many people in the UK are vegetarian. They are not aliens. They have the same size stomachs and need for sustenance as the rest of the human race. A shame to have to leave a negative review as the food quality was extremely good.

We visited here twice whilst staying in the village.It was really nice and clean with a great choice of drinks and food.All the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble.The food was reasonably priced and cooked beautifully - the roast beef was the best roast dinner I have ever eaten in a pub.Would recommend this pub to any visitors in the area and would definitely return if in the area.

This pub was a short walk from our cottage, and we ended up going there three times in a week! Friendly service and very dog friendly. The steak and stilton pie was to die for and the fish and chips exceptional. We tried all three pubs in the village and this was the best.

Visited today for dinner after a walk from bakewell. We were greeted with friendly staff and a good choice of menu. Service was quick and we will definitely be visiting again especially as it's a warm welcoming atmosphere.

Stayed in a cottage in the village for a week. Went to The Bulls Head on our 2nd night for a meal, so impressed we back for the next 5 nights working our way through the menu.Pub with a great atmosphere, friendly landlord and staff, frequented by locals and holiday makers. Homemade fishcakes (with side portion of chips) highly recommended.Service was sometimes slow but the wait was always worth it. Give it ago, you won't be disappointed.

We stopped by on an evening walk on the off chance and wow we would stop by again.Lovely friendly family run establishment with great food. All the family found something they wanted to eat. The food was piping hot and cooked to perfection. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

Called in to our local after a great days walking. Lovely atmosphere, beer was top quality and food was awesome as always. Great staff the only down side is we never want to leave 🍻 See you soon

Service at the Bulls Head Hotel was fantastic from all the staff, there was a nice atmosphere, and nothing was too much trouble. Good sized portions of home made, piping hot food! The homemade fish cakes were cracking!! We will definitely be paying these guys another visit! Thank you!!

I grew up around Bakewell and we have visited the area and this is a gem. Awesome food. I came back 3 days in a row.

Don't know why more people don't eat here, it was excellent from start to finish. Good value, large portions, well presented, delicious food. A cosy pub, with friendly staff and the service was excellent. Would recommend it to all.

A group of us were staying at the Youth hostel next door, so the Bulls Head was an ideal meeting place. I did ring in advance to warn that there may be 16 of us, arriving at different times, but I wasn't able to book a table. However, when we went in there was an area available at the back that was ideal. Food choices were good, at reasonable prices. The food arrived quickly (too quickly for those that ordered a starter as they arrived at the same time or after the main course!). I had a pudding, but was disappointed as it was obviously microwaved and quite dry. However, we all had a pleasant evening (beer was good, and a good selection of gins available) and staff were friendly.

We let the staff know in advance we had two big dogs and I am vegan. When we arrived they had reserved us a table with plenty of space and chef ensured a vegan pie was available as requested!The pie was delicious but huge and I couldn’t manage the chips! My partner had the sweet potato curry and despite being a meat eater said he loved it and would have again. We were so full we couldn’t manage any more food.

Stumbled across this hidden gem located in the village of Youlgreave, a short drive from the market town of Bakewell & within close proximity of Chatsworth House. We rang ahead the 1st night & spoke to Martin, who was extremely helpful reserving a table for us in the restaurant at short notice. Nicola and Martin are the owners and really do an outstanding job to make your stay so pleasant. The hotel is very cosy and traditional with an abundance of charm & character. It's a home from home. It reminded me of my childhood when I would stay at one of my favourite Aunts in the summer who lived in a lovely old country cottage surrounded by hills. That warm feeling of being somewhere you hold close to your heart. Our room was a reasonable size with a nice comfortable bed & plump pillows with bedding which smelt fresh & clean. It was cosy but large enough for a sofa and table which had the TV on, and a well stocked tray of tea and coffee. The en-suite wet room had a shower, toilet and sink. Rooms were decorated nicely with coordinating towels and pictures. Downstairs in the pub one section of it has been turned into a cosy restaurant which doesn't lose the country vibe and good atmosphere that the other rooms of the pub provide. If you want somewhere to stay that is full of character & British tradition, somewhere you can relax, unwind, meet the local people in a cosy environment, and explore the surrounding area, this is the place for you.

Having eaten & drunk here a number of times, the latest meal was once again spot on. We all agreed our meals were delicious & that the atmosphere was relaxed & welcoming. The pub itself is cosy, the staff are friendly & there is a great selection of wines & gins! Will definitely be back.

Welcoming pub with a lovely fire. Perfect for two families with 4 boys as they enjoyed playing pool and darts in the games room. We shared starter specials and they were delicious - chilli prawns with orange salad a great combination.

Soup was absolutely amazing. Steak were cooked perfectly Beer was on point. Very friendly and attentive staff, and a lovely happy lanlord.

I absolutely love Youlgreave & The Bulls Head Hotel is a fantastic, authentic pub with character & history. The feel of the pub welcomes you when entering the establishment. This is mainly down to The Bulls Head Hotel being a family home to the current owners as well as a good pub with homemade food. The present owners Martin & Nicola always greet you with genuine care & attention. The beer is looked after superbly & not to mention the good food. Well priced for The Peak District... excellent portion sizes & always presented so professionally. The early bird offer 5pm - 6pm offers great food...at a great price. Just what is needed after a long walk. Plenty of off street parking near the pub, alas two FREE public car parks in Youlgreave village. Great outside seating too. This pub always offers themed events & great music on certain nights.Great pool table & separate television sports bar area. On a final note, dog & walker friendly too.

Great food and beer, good wine selection. Special mention to the waitress Heather, who looked after us so well. I will make sure we will come here again.

Superb food and beer, cosy log burner. Dog friendly (even our nuts Springer). Family meal out to watching the Rugby or playing a game of pool (badly). All good.

We came to stay for four nights in Youlgrave and ate here twice and one visit just for drinks. The food was excellent - one of the best Sunday roasts I have had in a long time. The staff are all helpful and friendly and the family’s hard work is paying off. This place is a real asset to them. Highly recommend

A delightful pub with friendly staff and locals. We enjoyed drinks and a lovely meal; my husband chose the chicken and leek pie, whilst I chose 2 x starters, whitebait and a camembert share platter. We relaxed in front of a glowing log burner and we are already planning to return during our stay as we enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!

Visiting the Peak District for my birthday and this pub was recommended by our Airbnb hosts for a celebratory evening meal, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! The food was sublime, the pub nicely decorated, cosy rooms, great atmosphere, friendly staff, just all round brilliant.

Stayed here for our Christmas short break over a weekend. Breakfasts are simply excellent, good quality, nicely cooked and a decent size. We did not see any fresh fruit though which was on the menu? Nice character pub and when the fire is successfully lit a nice ambience. The pies are simply awesome with extra gravy if you wish which I had on my second pie meal, and REAL tasty chips. The sticky toffee pudding was also very good indeed and nicely presented. My wife had a small fish for her second meal which was only just cooked inside and had soggy batter which was a shame - maybe a single mistake due to them being so busy {another pub in the village that did good food and accomodation has shut unexpectedly several weeks ago} possibly. Friendly staff and recommended.

My partner and I took family and friends to the Bulls Head at Youlgrave for a Sunday Roast to celebrate my mums birthday. There was a choice of turkey or beef (and a veggie option if you wanted) with all the trimmings and plenty of vegetables. The food was cooked to perfection and was delicious. The best carrots I’ve ever tasted as well!! Everybody had clean plates, the service was lovely and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. They were particularly helpful and accommodating with our two year old. Everybody left having had lovely food and a really nice time. Thank you for making it a memorable occasion. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous meal at the Bulls Head tonight. The staff were so welcoming, the atmosphere was great and the pub was fully booked.We were so glad we booked our table as even though it was the weekend after Christmas/ New year the place was full to the rafters. An excellent pub with great food and service. If you want to eat here at the weekend you need to book! An excellent family run business.

Went to the Bulls Head to try out the Pie Night. It did not disappoint. It was blooming lovely! Massive pie and tasted absolutely yummy. The service was friendly and there was a lovely warm fire too. Somehow we even managed to squeeze in a dessert which just as tasty. Thank you for a lovely meal and night out. An absolute must if you’re in the area - and if you’re planning on Pie Night I recommend an empty belly and big appetite.

So I visited the Peak District today with a very rare day off to spend some quality time with my partner and our dogo. We did our research and found this dog friendly place that served amazing food.

I booked a table for 20 family & friends for my daughters 18th birthday. It was pie night, the pies were delicious, everyone ordered a different variety, no one was disappointed, the chips with the gravy were amazing. The staff were spot on, friendly and such good service considering there was 20 of us being served at the same time. Will definitely be returning.

We joined a packed restaurant for an excellent 3 course meal to start the celebrations for New Year. The choices (pre ordered) were imaginative and varied enough to suit all tastes. We chose Harrington blue stuffed Portobello mushroom and the king prawn coriander, yellow pomogranate salad to start. The main courses were the great oven baked crusted hake and beef cheek- slow cooked to perfection. Barely room for the chocolate tart, warm in crispy pastry and a full selection of cheeses.

After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and had personal recommendation we were looking forward to our visit.

We've paid many visits to the Bulls Head when walking based in Youlgrave. I really like it: the building is lovely- a proper old coaching inn. Very Pickwickian.

I’ve dined here a few times in the past week, including taking advantage of the teatime deals for £7. Good food, cosy lounge, a real fire, nice staff, good beer ... what’s not to love! A good choice if you’re in Youlgreave (or Youlgrave!)

We stayed at The Bull’s head in Youlgrave for the weekend. We booked a few months in advance as we’d been given a weekend away by our parents. We were going to have our young daughter with us and the staff were very accommodating of her. We chose this hotel as we’d stayed in the area before and loved it. We were informed that we would pay a little extra for a weekend stay with them but we didn’t mind as this was the only way we could make a stay possible.

We found ourselves in youlgrave today after a very autumnal walk in the white peak.

Had two evening meals which were very good.

Lovely food beautifully cooked and served. A cut above the usual pub food. Great atmosphere and cosy on an autumn evening evening with a real fire and fairy lights... getting Christmas vibe.

From arrival everybody was friendly and very helpful. Great gluten free food in the evening. Made to feel welcome by the locals and other visiting couples. Pie night on Thursdays Once a month live music

Just returned home today after a weekend away at this pub/hotel . Excellent food , great accommodation, very warm and friendly people , both local and staff . Made to feel very welcome , great hospitality would definitely recommend to anyone .

We just stayed at the bulls head whilst visiting the Peak District. Great location for easy to get to attractions from walks to town centres . The hotel itself is exactly what you expect from the area, traditional, big open fire rustling away ,good pub grub and friendly staff. We felt very at home straight away and all staff was helpful , Saturday night all tables were fully reserved , but we had breakfast in the morning which was brilliantly cooked and served with a smile. Also catered for a vegan breakfast for my partner .

We booked a table here for Sunday Lunch whilst staying locally. It’s so popular locally that there were only 3 Sunday Roasts left for 5 of us. It didn’t matter as the remaining two chose differently.

Visited with my partner for a evening meal. Beautiful food, excellently cooked with delicious produce. Delicious home cooked meal. Very impressed. The ale was rather tasty too. A wonderful evening, great ambience and great hospitality.

Stayed here overnight with a group of friends on a walking holiday. Friendly staff, we had a small but adequate room for one night. Evening meal was really good, can definitely recommend the lasagne. Our whole group were happy with the meal.

Definitely the best pub in the village. We tried them all while staying here and it has the best atmosphere, beer and food

This pub was in our local village when we were on holiday, we found it very good,, nice food and beer, pleasant staff. Out of the three in the village ,would recommend this one as the best.

Family tea out whilst on holiday. Something to suit all dietary requirements. All meals fresh and home cooked. Large portions and the puddings delicious! We can highly recommend the fish and chips, steak & ale pie and homity pie. Staff very friendly and attentive, pub very clean would recommend to anyone!

Lovely pub with good choice of food. Large portions.friendly staff. Very popular as only one of two pubs serving food in youlgreave and they only serve until 8pm so you need to book.

Visited the Bull twice while on holiday in the village. Excellent homemaid food. Wide range of local and Marston beer which according to my husband were very good! Family run pub all of whom were very friendly. Highly recommended. Many thanks. Karen and Dave Wright

This is a great place with a great locally sourced menu (fish n chips and lasagne were great!) and good selection of drinks. Service was great and special thumbs-up for Finn who was very attentive and made us feel very welcome.

We visited on a Monday night and received a warm welcome from the barman. The beers are excellent. We asked for a table for dinner and they were already quite booked up, but we found a nice table in the small bar. We ordered the home made steak pies and they were delicious! Lovely atmosphere, with dogs very welcome.

We found this pub while looking for places to stay, and booked a night in an upstairs room. We were greeted upon arrival by a friendly young man who also worked the bar later that evening. There is very little parking and we parked on the narrow street, but did not at all find this a problem and in fact a charming part of the village life. The dinner we had in the pub was very good and the room was clean and welcoming, with tremendous views. This is not a luxury hotel, but if you are looking for a friendly welcome in a homey environment, with good food and drink in the pub below, this is the place for you. If you are there on a weekend, book your table for dinner in advance, as they were full up and said that weekend evenings, this is usually the case. For good reason--it's a great place to have dinner and a pint!

We’ve been a few times now for drinks in the afternoon when we are staying close by, but today we had lunch. My wife had the special which was chicken cacciatore with parmentier potatoes and I had the home made steak and ale pie. The food was gorgeous and the service very friendly. We’ll definitely be back.

Martin and Nicola make perfect hosts and made us to feel very welcome. The place is spotless with a good range of food. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere excellent. Music not too loud and plenty of other guests enjoying themselves.

Accommodation and great breakfast next morning. Excellent evening meal on the the evening of our stay. The village is lovely and holds a lot of rural charm of the peak district. Our dog enjoyed her stay too. Parking was the only thing the hotel could not guarantee as not a large area. However, it was easy to find parking just out the front of the building. Would highly recommend.

Best fish and chips ever along with a lovely pint of Bombardier! Highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. 10/10

Called into the bulls head for a meal

The young man who served us was very pleasant. We had whitebait to start which was average - all batter and no whitebait really. We then had the special of a large steak with chips and salad and this was quite good. the steaks were cooked to our liking and very tasty. There was a good atmosphere and we enjoyed our the evening. honest value

Of the three pubs in Youlgrave we selected this one based on the best reviews and beer choice. The barmaid was so disinterested it was difficult to assess if we had upset her by just turning up at the midday opening hour. The beer was OK but turned sour from the barmaids expression, and quite expensive for this area. The food choice quite limited, but to charge £4.50 for a bowl of chips with a sprinkle of cheese on top was outrageous.

Bulls head was a very friendly the food was excellent and the service was first class. Martin and Nicola were very helpful telling us about the local area.Rooms were clean and tidy. A very nice pub to stay in.

Easy booking on their own website which was better value than booking through any other website. Dinner was absolutely delicious, meat from a local butcher and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately couldn’t manage a pudding which is a shame because they looked and smelled amazing especially the fruit crumble. Accommodation was simple with everything needed. Beds very comfortable and we had a good night’s sleep. Breakfast again was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the food. The staff were welcoming and it had a real family atmosphere. My parents didn’t stay at the Bulls Head but they were still welcomed to join us for breakfast.

We went for a meal whilst on holiday. Not a large menu especially for vegetarians. I had the haloumi board. Didn’t feel you got much for your money but it was very nice. I saw someone’s pudding and they looked delicious. Friend had fish and chips which was a huge portion and he really enjoyed it. Traditional looking pub with a friendly owner.

We visited this pub for an evening meal as it was only one in area that was accommodating and I have to say the food was first class , there was an excellent choice and a big plus was the deserts were all home made and plentiful

Sunday night so pleased to find a restaurant open. No problem getting a table, very pleasant service. A simple menu in the pub style, we both opted for pie and chips. Large ,wholesome and well cooked. The interior of the building is however in need of some TLC.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch with close friends.Beef dinner was lovely,so tender. Thankyou Martin and Nicola and of course Dominic for looking after us

This place feels like a proper old English pub with little nooks and crannies to hide away in. Pool, darts, peanuts, crisps and coke - really took me back to my childhood. A good selection of pub grub cooked fresh and delivered to the table in a timely fashion. Bar staff very friendly as were the clientele. Food was well cooked and very tasty. Would not hesitate to recommend.
