Paper Mill Inn in High Peak

We were staying in this region. And so decided to pay a visit to this local gem. Amazing food and lovely cosy ambience. We will visit again if exploring this area.

Called in for lunch after a lovely walk,ordered Pizza, size salad and chips all of which were excellent and very reasonable price.Along with a very nice bottle of Rose'. The sun was shining which was an added bonus. Good luck with your Beer Festival this weekend.

Nice pub with friendly staff. Good range of drinks. We also had a pizza which was tasty and good value. This place is sister to The Old Mill next door. Both nice places to drink and dine.

We just got back from a family wedding in Chinley. We had a room in the paper mill which was very comfy. Tea and coffee making facilities. We also ate in the old inn hall and the food and service was wonderful. Great place for a relaxing weekend break.

Whenever we pop into the Paper Mill it’s always a pleasure, today was a rain encouraged pit stop half way round a walk - we were going to stop by anyway but the weather made it a definite decision. Good selection of beers and wines (and soft drinks) didn’t stop for food (and sadly no cannoli this time) but great welcome in a top hiking spot

Lovely pub with nice beer and helpful staff. However, our experience of their 4th July pop up kitchen event left us underwhelmed to say the least. Once we had understood the canteen style food service - come and collect your food from the hatch - we were disappointed by the food we got and the price - £5 for a few slices of battered cucumber and £10 for a small and bland pulled pork burger. A triumph of style over substance I'm afraid. Would come again for a drink but not for anything to eat.

What a great place. Welcomed and shown to our table in this beautiful historic building. Both the food and beers were excellent. Immediately booked again!

We were a family of five who booked bed and breakfast in two cottages at the Paper Mill and had a wonderful stay. The dinner menu was varied and the food beautifully cooked. The breakfast menu was good, too, and again beautifully cooked and cheerfully served. The cottages were immaculate, cosy and sensitively restored with beds so comfortable you didn’t want to get out of them. Our host and his whole efficient team were welcoming, friendly, and really made us feel we would like to be back there as soon as possible.

Best pizza ever! Great Pizza with Great Service, combined with a Great Price. We often visit PAPER MILL INN and the quality of the food and service has never disappointed.

The best pizza in the cosiest of atmospheres! Fantastic food, friendly staff and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere.

Ordered food twice over this last weekend and we were not disappointed. The pepperoni pizza was amazing and made for a perfect lunch. The pie and mash was delicious too. The ordering process was quick and efficient. Definitely recommend.

The Paper Mill Inn is a wonderful place to stay and also to enjoy excellent food & dining service. The staff are friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable about menu items. I would highly recommend a stay at the Inn whilst holidaying in the Peak District.

Excellent stop on the way down from the pike on a circular walk from Whaley Bridge. Excellent selection of beers and ciders, great service, good extended seating

Fabulous pub in a beautiful setting . Lovely atmosphere warm welcome seating outside and heated area outside . Great selection of ales and lager etc . Highly recommend you have to visit

What an amazing pub made to feel so welcome from the minute we walked through the door and the food was amazing.

We stayed here for 2 nights in a really comfortable room which we didn’t find noisy (despite being over the bar) … the coffee machine was a real bonus

Nipped in for a quick bite and a pint after a hike in the area. Lovely staff, good food and ale. Just what was needed after up and down inclines. Good finish to a great day

Amazing pub! My highlight is their amazing Pizzas, served Wednesday to Saturday. Great place, sister to the old hall next door.

Love a walk over to the Papermill, always a great selection of cask and keg beers, and the lad behind the bar (Barney?) Very knowledgeable and passionate about ale and keeping it kept right, Pizzas are lovely, log fires and sports on the TV, what more do you want?

Hard to write 100 characters to say that the pizza was good. But the pizza was good and the pub was lively.

Lovely pizza and cocktails! Busy pub as it is the only one open in the village on a Wednesday, but sat out the courtyard garden.

Me and my husband visited the paper mill today for a pint whilst out on a long walk. The man behind the bar was so helpful, he recommended the beers that he thought we would like best and he also let us sample the beers so we knew we were making the right choice. The pub was fairly busy but we managed to find a seat in a little alcove, we both felt that the place had so much character and the atmosphere was great, everyone there just seemed to be enjoying themselves. We didn't want to leave after our drinks as we loved it so much but we had more walking ahead of us. Needless to say we will 100% be returning again!

Myself and a friend had walked from Bugsworth Basin and came across The Old Hall Inn and Paper Mill quite by chance never having been there before. We enquired about lunch and were told that Pizzas were on offer. They didn’t have the one we chose but we were perfectly happy with another choice which the young chef delivered to us personally. The skin on chips were delicious. We thought the place was lovely- quaintly old fashioned but with very modern touches (the Dyson tap/dryers!); warm with the wood burner going, friendly staff and lovely choice of beers. Having since explored what’s on offer at the two pubs we will definitely be making another visit soon. Well done.

Gorgeous, character building for staying in, drinking and eating. Great service, good atmosphere, friendly, comfortable and high quality. Home made pizzas highly recommended too.

Pizzas were ok if a bit bland. Fries excellent but VERY salty. Worse, the dough balls were raw in the middle and inedible. Offered a repeat which we didn't want. Very average

Travelling in a VW camper with our frenchie and was made to feel welcome, warm and our little nugget got lots of attention. Lovely pizza and great relaxed atmosphere. 😊

Called in for a pizza and a pint. Pizza took forever to arrive and was just ok for £10 not very flavoursome. (They did apologise for the wait once I'd asked a couple of times about it) £11.50 for 1 pint of lager and one...

Delicious pizza for a reasonable price and an excellent range of beer / ale. Friendly and efficient service Really liked the decor

First impression wasn't brilliant because the Paper Mill and its sister The Old Hall, though pretty, seemed squashed in beside a bridge over 4 lanes of the A6 and there was nowhere obvious to park so we copied others and parked on the bridge. We...

Love the papermill with the best pizza, great small plates. Nice atmosphere with the bar, screens, different rooms. People who work there are so friendly and helpful. You have got to go and visit.

My partner and I stayed at The Paper Mill for a night on the way up to the Lakes from London, and would wholeheartedly recommend. The room was beautifully decorated and really spacious - we loved the bath and the balcony with views of the...

How this place manages to keep the prices so reasonable and the quality so high is beyond me. It makes other pubs in the area seem totally scandalous. We visited as a family and friends the past weekend, as we have done for many weekends...

Best pizza ever! Huge thanks to Dan and staff for a wonderful night out. The pizza was thin delicious and best tasting pizza ever and better than pizza eaten in Italy. Ordered 3 different types. The umbria just melted in your mouth. The mozzarella and...

We visited whilst we were staying at the Old Hall Inn. We had pizza and a selection of Spanish tapas and cheesecake. The food was delicious - perfect for after a days walking. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Gorgeous, cosy room, very clean & tastefully decorated. Had a drink in the pub, great atmosphere. Felt safe, good Covid safety procedures were being followed.

It’s sister pub (The Old Hall) has long been a favourite. We’ve recently discovered the pizzas & tapas at The Papermill, which are very good indeed. Hugely accommodating staff, excellent management, splendid pale ale: I recommend heartily.

Frequent visitor of the papermill, food is lovely everytime, fab service and great atmosphere. I would really recommend the tapas menu, loads of choice.

What a great selection of tapas! Four of us ate here last night, plenty of room between tables infact we had our own table in a small room off the bar. The food was delicious. So much so we had all but one dish from...

Had such a lovely meal out for the Global Bites: Tapas menu - food was amazing, atmosphere great as always and stunning location

What a fantastic lunch we had at the Paper Mill - I couldn't recommend it any more highly.We were lucky enough to visit while they were running their pop-up tapas menu, and couldn't resist ordering almost all of the dishes. I'm so glad we did, because they were all incredible! My absolute favourite was the hake - the flavours were perfect - but the slow-roasted tomato and manchego filo pastries came a very close second. Somehow my husband managed to fit in a pizza as well - I've no idea how, but he tells me it was excellent.We finished our meal with a delicious piece of cheesecake, and then had to have a waddle around the village to walk some of it off. It was the nicest meal I've had all year, and we will definitely be visiting again. 10/10!

Had a lovely pizza while staying in the sister pub The Old Hall Inn Highly recommended Great selection of guns as well

Managed to visit just before the lockdown. Usually go to the Old Hall and for this visit went to the sister establishment. A great ambience with different areas of seating. The food was excellent.

Traditional stone oven baked pizzas tasted great, the decor is great and finished to a high standard

The Papermill are doing a fantastic job to adapt to the current situation and are offering takeaway dishes. We brought home a selection of pizzas last night (which were superb as always) but the Kleftiko Lamb Flatbread is to die for - we added harissa and tzatziki so it was gorgeously spicy yet tasty. The portion of homemade red pepper hummus is massive and will keep us going for days! Superb as always!

It was a miserable afternoon with storm Dennis on its way. We fancied somethingspecial to cheer us up and decided to try the "Pasta Kitchen" The Paper Mill was lovely and cosy with all the fires raging.The staff were very cheerful and welcoming.The food was wonderful and it was lovely to see the chef ,who came to check everything was ok with our food. Well it just wasn't ok it was fantastic and clean plates all round.. Cant wait for next time.

This pub has pop up kitchens every month offering something different all the time and it’s fantastic every time! Great atmosphere, amazing staff.

After a very long, scenic drive up peaks and through every weather condition possible, we arrived in lovely Chinley. When checking in, I had accidentally booked for the day after!! What I thought was a nightmare, the owner and his wife were extremely helpful and put us in an "emergency room".. if that was only an emergency room we cannot wait to see what the actual rooms are like, it was beautiful, clean and had everything we could've needed for a relaxing night away. We ate in the paper mill inn, during that month it was the vegan pop up (it changes monthly) menu so we ordered from there as well as one of their delicious pizzas and very reasonably priced. We had drinks there in front of the fire - bliss! We ate breakfast in the old hall inn which was also very nice. Thanks again for been so welcoming after my mistake! We look forward to coming again (on the right day this time).

Visited the paper mill to try some of the new homemade pasta dishes with friends and we were not disappointed. So fresh, tasty and enjoyable. Cannot fault it, will 100% be visiting again very soon. Atmosphere also fab. Thanks very much!

Excellent place to visit - pizzas are amazing. Good selection of ales and beers on offer. Staff are always friendly and cannot do enough for you. Good value for money. Look forward to our next visit.

The food which is currently home made pizza's and home made pasta is very tasty. We were in there on Feb 6th. I had been in there for a drink the day before and found that the chef was preparing his fresh pizza and getting everything ready for the following night. Food is hard to beat for value anywhere in my opinion. They also have agreat range of Ales and craft beers. I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Lots of well selected beers, be it keg, cask, bottles and cans. The pizzas and curry were just great.

Room we had chosen was a little small but had everything we could have wanted. Beds very comfortable. Ate at the Old Hall across the road which is part of Paper Mill Inn. Wonderful !!

Worst garlic bread I have ever tasted. Very dry no garlic on it.. no taste at all. Service not great too!

We are in room 5 and can’t sleep or relax because of the appalling noise from downstairs. We thought we were booking the old hall, but we were put in the paper mill. So noisy in the bar, we don’t understand the point of music, as you can’t hear it for the shouting, but upstairs the music reverberates, although it doesn’t drown out the shouting. Apparently this will go on until midnight. Really didn’t think we should have to put up with this, no one explained that we shouldn’t expect to sleep until after closing time. Dreadful

Great pizza, we also had chips and salad, all great. Lovely atmosphere, seemed to be a mix of locals and visitors.Will definitely be back.

Amazing find in a small village. Great beers and creative menu! Recommend to tourist visiting the area!

We also visited here on our stay; see our feedback about The Old Hall Inn! Great food, lovely service!

Quite simply the best pizza I have tasted for years. Exceptional base crisp and tasty and the choice of toppings very original. Would love to return again and again but sadly not from this part of the world. Will recommend to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed. Fabulous staff and service. Thanks.

The staff are very friendly and professional.There is a great atmosphere with a general mix of Ramblers ,locals,residents,families and tourists.

Went there with family after reading glowing reviews. Was very disappointed. Tiny place packed out, long waits for over priced food. Pizza choices quite limited and not great quality.

What a great find. The Paper Mill is a proper country pub, a great reason to get out and about and experience a wonderful boozer. Freshly made and cooked Pizza with now monthly street food specials, lovely selection of beers too.

I came here with my son as a special treat. We had been before and had the pizzas but I really wanted to try the street food menu. I was not dissapointed as the food was excellent. I had Belly Pork with egg fried rice and also some prawn crackers.

Came here with friends planning on pizza. however, whilst they tucked into pizza, which they all thoroughly enjoyed, I spotted the Mexican Street Food menu. Fabulous, fabulous cod ceviche thing! Delicious, fresh, crisp and zingy! Really fabulous!

High up in the Peak District is the village of Chinley There is a pub called the Old Hall, and the Paper Mill, which serves excellent Real Ale’s and fabulous pizzas in a very rustic charming atmosphere. The bar staff are very friendly and it is well worth a visit

Perfect !. If you like real ale, craft beers, pizza and want to take your 4 legged friend too this is about as good as it gets ! The fact that is recipe of perfection is in a small village makes it a true gem. Note, as as April 2019 food is only served Thurs - Sun. Sister pub to the Old Hall. If you stay there then well worth crossing the street for a visit.

Must say that my partner and I always use the paper mill as a go to place. Never disappointed with the delicious pizzas and other fayre on offer, also if you like real ales there are always plenty on tap. Give it a go if in the area,but be aware! you may struggle at times to get a table as it gets busy but it's worth the wait.

Stayed here while on a two week walking holiday. The room was lovely with all mod cons. Situated as an annexe of the old mill house nearby

My husband and I stayed overnight at the hotel . It’s a great place to stay and everyone is so friendly great location. Great food . Highly recommend.

Finally visited the paper mill inn last night for pizzas after being recommended plenty of times!

We had friends to stay, 4 adults and 8 kids (ages from 15-4) and 2 dogs, cold and hungry after a winter walk in bleak conditions. We needed space, affordable unfussy food for all the family and a place to relax, we were delighted to find the Paper Mill.

Came in for pizza last night, and was massively impressed. Great beer selection and nice range of gins. We had the Indian lamb and mint pizza, and the Stilton and walnut pizza. Both were very good. Nicely presented pizzas, they each came with a pizza wheel on a pizza paddle, which added to the authentic experience. Will be back again soon

I was staying in the sister inn, the Old Hall Inn across the road. Came in for pizza and wasn’t expecting it to be one of the nicest I’ve had in a while. Nice cosy atmosphere too. Found a quiet corner to drink my red wine in.

Have always popped in either the Old Hall or the Paper Mill in Whitehough after walking. Such welcoming people and fabulous surroundings. The wine is very good which is always a bonus. We have had the early bird menu at the Old Hall and were not disappointed. So we were very excited to try the pizza at the Paper Mill, and I am happy to say it lived up to our expectations, absolutely delicious and the side dish of parmesan and truffle fries were yummy. We enjoyed it so much we were back for more two days after. To have a pizza made from scratch like in all good Italian pizzeria is a real find in this picture postcard hamlet. It is going to be our regular 'Date night' venue.

We made a last min reservation for the top room above the pub for my daughters party. (Change in weather made Plan A not very appealing)

Fabulous place to enjoy oven fired pizza’s! The fries we truffle are amazing! Setting is very picturesque! Good value pizzas

See my review for the Old Hall Inn, but the only addition I would make is that if you are staying over the weekend and want an early night the rooms are above and needless to say may be a little noisy up till closing time. But do not let this put you off. Home made pizzas are available here and full menu at The Old Hall over the road.

This is a lovely traditional country pub with a really nice atmosphere and has outdoor seating which adds to its undoubted charm.

This pub complements its neighbour, The Old Hall, so well. Its no coincidence that the hamlet of Whitehough has two great pubs and eating establishments - they are owned and managed by the same person!

Our first visit the the paper mill after they unleashed their new pizzeria, and WOW what an amazing yet simple concept. Go to the bar, order your drinks and pizza, get a special little buzzer thing and when it goes off, go find the secret pizza hatch. Great concept and great tasting pizza and sides. As good as pizza express if not better. A must visit

We are a party of 7 with a dog. The pub is really friendly and we enjoyed watching the rugby 3 screens to view it. Nothing was too much trouble even running across the road to the Old Mill they also own for some nuts and sandwiches for us. We were there for the weekend but we’ve also called on the booze train from Sheffield to Manchester and it’s a must to stop off on the way. Worth the 10 minute walk from the train station.

Nice old pub, couple of nice cask beers and some decent thornbridge keg at a decent price. Chiron pale ale being particularly tasty.

We held our evening wedding reception here, after a meal at The Old Hall Inn. It was absolutely perfect and everyone had a brilliant time - we couldn't have asked for a better venue or team of staff. We had live music, a dj, super tasty pulled pork butties and a brilliantly stocked bar. Everything ran so smoothly - it really doesn't get any better than this place!

Nice local boozer - well worth a visit! It is across the road from the Old Hall and you can wander between the twp and have a great time. The bar staff are young and friendly

Love it! friendly and comfortable. I am a local but I never feel strange going in by myself. That says a lot

Unimpressive food, stale smell in the air, and crotchety service. Safer to go elsewhere really. This place used to be a lot better before it changed hands a few years ago. Sad really, was a nice pub but not any more.

This pub is next door to the Old Hall Inn and shares the same management and beer range. We didn't get to try the food but the beer was perfectly kept and the staff good humoured. (We were on a stag trip) A good beer...

Como parte de nuestra poca fiesta estaban alojados en la posada Molino de papel, así como el Old Hall Inn cruzando el camino, nos encontramos una noche para tomar una copa y charlar. El bar estaba muy animado, con tv deportes en las tres zonas...

Renovado encantador pub tradicional. Pisos de piedra real incendios y una buena selección de Ale. Es una pena que no ofrecen una selección de panecillos rellenos o aperitivos a la hora del almuerzo. Supongo que no quiere competir con el antiguo ayuntamiento. La misma propiedad.

Este es el pub hermano del antiguo ayuntamiento al otro lado de la carretera. El otro no, este se especializa en cerveza, generalmente bien cuidado alrededor de 7 cervezas de barril y una Biblia de belgas y otras cervezas para elegir si te apetece una botella. Perros, televisiones en las 3 habitaciones pequeñas, lo que puede ser un poco mucho cuando todos se van mostrando cosas diferentes. La opción de visualización en general a Frank, un anciano local tío que se encuentra en el extremo de la barra, enfermería una pinta, con un periódico delante de él, él se rumorea para sonreír una vez en 1974!

Aquí es donde mi habitación en el hotel estaba situado en el primer piso, justo encima del pub. Un montón de gente en el pub, pero difícilmente podría oír nada. El pub de abajo era relativamente pequeño, pero acogedor. Excelente lugar

Only dropped in for a couple of drinks, but had to return a couple of nights later because it was such a welcoming place. The beer was well kept and the list of Belgian beers was so impressive. The barmaid and the stay late locals were very chatty and made us feel like locals ourselves. Such a cosy and comfortable pub.

We've just returned from a fantastic two night stay in the Paper Mill inn. The set up is perfect - stunning location, first class hospitality and the most amazing food served in the sister pub Old Hall inn. Having the choice of both pubs to nip between is brilliant. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend break away.

Lovely pub over from Old Hall Inn enjoyed totally. welcoming staff and very relaxing. Local ales were very much appreciated.

I booked the Raclette Room for 16 people in December for an alternative Christmas dinner. Most of my friends handn't experienced raclette before so they didn't know what to expect. The room was cosy, well decorated and you could be forgiven for thinking you were in an Alpine cabin somewhere just outside of Grindelwald. The wood fire was toasty and the quality of the food was high. Although raclette is primarily a meat eater's feast, the three vegetarians amongst us were well catered for with excellent fish and great veg. All in all it was a really good evening, with attentive & prompt service from the staff downstairs and a good vibe throughout the evening. At fifteen quid a head (plus drinks and puddings) it was exceptional value.

Owned by the same proprietor as the old hall inn it's not long been refurbished and has been done to a very high standard. Enjoyed a couple of drinks here sat by the open log fire.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Hall. We arrived late on Friday night after a slow drive from London and they were very happy to accommodate our very late check in. The rooms are newly renovated and beautifully decorated and the breakfast was delicious - the Derbyshire Oatcakes are a must!

They seem to be doing something right here! Me and my SO came a few months ago one evening after work to get out of the city. We had a lovely dinner at the Old Hall then popped over to the Paper Mill Inn and found an incredibly friendly bar maid and even better selection of beer. We noticed the advert for the beer and cider festival in a few months so we headed back in September. It's a great combo between the two pubs, offering something to everyone's tastes. The service has always been friendly (even during the busy beer festival) and the beer really is fantastic. We're now booked in to the Raclette room for his birthday in November and can't wait.

What a great pub spent the day here with friends. Top day highly recommend this place to everyone a must try

Had a family Christmas there and it was brilliant, food excellent .Also had numerous meals across the road at The Old Mill,where the staff were very friendly. The choice of food was superb and also good choice of wine and beers.

Lovely old pub but when we visited it was a little spoilt by the huge amount of empty glasses stacked on the empty tables outside even though the pub only had half a dozen customers in. The young man behind the bar seemed content to watch the 2 (different) TVs & listen to the loud music than get off his backside & clear up a bit. Shame really as the cider was great but we nipped down the road 100 yards to its sister pub (The Old Hall Inn) which was better.
