Parks inn in High Peak

What a fabulous little pub! We were staying just over a mile down the road and had a lovely walk out to get some lunch. The owners and staff were very warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. There were 11 of us and we had table service both for our meal which was excellent but also later on when in the bar area. The food was very good and excellent value for money; everyone thoroughly enjoyed what they had. Generous portions and all home cooked. Kids had desserts which were just as good as the mains. We would highly recommend this pub to anyone after high quality food which and a welcoming environment.

Just had lunch here today, and have to say it was the most lovely meal. Between us we had parsnip soup, beef casserole, cheese & onion pie and gammon steak, and it was all absolutely delicious. Lovely friendly staff too. We will return, when we can hopefully manage dessert as well! Also a bonus to have a decent alcohol free beer available (Doom Bar 0.0), which many places don’t.

Visited on a quiet, wet Tuesday and had a lovely lunch. Landlord and landlady both very friendly and a great menu. The balsamic tomato soup was superb, followed by a lovely minted lamb shank. Everything looked home made, well presented and tasted delicious. Recommended.

The dogs are lovely but the restaurant is not the place for them Staff are very friendly it’s a shame about the landlady though I think she upsets a lot of the customers from what people say Food is first class

Parks Inn was recommended by the owners of the accommodation we stayed at in Buxton and it didn’t dissappoint. Warm and friendly-both the staff and the regulars. It was quiet when we arrived around 5.30 but got busier and that was a Wednesday night! The staff were attentive and service was swift. They menu was good and the food was delicious- big portions! I didn’t have my dog with me this time but it was good to see it was dog friendly and the ‘resident’ dogs were lovely! Would definitely recommend!

Lovely staff generous portions and all homemade all 3 of us had pies Chips and veg expertly cooked and the pies were 10 out of 10 Dogs were welcome too

What a gem of a find. The service and attention to detail was great and the food was FIRST CLASS. Thank you.

Very friendly staff and good service. Only decided to eat there after reading previous reviews because you wouldn’t stop if you just drove past as there is no kerb appeal or adequate parking but the food was excellent.

My family and I along with 2 dogs visited Parks Inn for Sunday lunch. The staff were so lovely and the chef even gave our little pups some treats. The carvery was delicious, a big serving and very very tasty. A wonderful pup suitable for families and doggos. Thank you for a wonderful visit.

I have to be honest when we pulled up I wasn't sure, but never judge a book by its cover👍 The young girl who took my booking was obviously doing everything, she certainly earns her money she was polite, pleasent, efficient extremely helpful & didnt stop for our entire visit, she was serving beer, taking food orders, serving food, glass collecting & clearing tables. The food was amazing, we both had 1/2 rack of ribs and they were so well cooked they fell off the bonę full Marks to the chef👍🍗

I have never been to a pub serving food that did not serve coffee. It is fair enough if they do not want to invest in a fancy barista machine but there was not the slightest offer of any alternative. The landlord could do with some customer service training. My wife walked in and started looking for the ladies loo, which was greeted with “where are you going?”. The ploughman’s lunch we had was nice, with very generous cheese helping and a warmed baguette, but I am not inspired to return there.

This is the second time we have visited The Parks Inn as we regular holiday in the Peaks. Again we were not disappointed. The owners and staff are incredibly accommodating and chatty. The food is just amazing and value for money. I get the Pie each time - the chips are homemade and gorgeous! The staff keep an eye on your drinks and will ask if you are wanting more, they clear your plates efficiently instead of sitting waiting around and will check if you’re happy with everything. The pub itself is cosy but enough room.

The owners are so horrible to staff and treat them with no respect they are either telling there staff off or sat behind the bar drinking .

Just had the best Steak and Stilton pie I’ve ever eaten with chips to die for. Great atmosphere and welcoming staff. Dog friendly and the enormous pub dogs are great. Going again tomorrow.

We had a lovely meal at this pub a couple of weeks ago. The owner is really friendly and as a dog owner myself - I loved that this pub was so dog friendly. Her own two lovely dogs were around as well. Food was superb! Proper chips cooked fresh and all the dishes were cooked from scratch. We had a really lovely meal and would definitely eat here again! Thank you so much

I can’t speak highly enough about this place! The food is on another level and this pub needs to be prioritised ahead of any of the chain pubs near by. Charlie was very friendly and accommodating and the menu cooked by Ian was genuinely one...

Opted for this pub because of the close location to our campsite and the star ratings on Tripadvisor. However I’m not sure those stars were worthy. Whilst the food was acceptable it wasn’t five star. Triple cooked chips were definitely al dente but the scampi...

The pub is newly refurbished and is clean and comfortable. The majority of space is allocated to dining tables with a small bar area. The staff were welcoming and seemed genuinely concerned that we enjoyed ourselves. The menu is not huge but is very varied...

The Parks Inn was our local when staying in the area - what a great place! Food was superb and service excellent. Lamb burgers and liver and bacon highly recommended. Booked to eat again on Thursday.

One word to describe the food. WOW!! All locally sourced produce. No microwaved mush. Will definitely be returning. Very attentive staff. Thank you.

We liked this place so much we went back again the following evening. The food was excellent with a wide menu choice [much better than other local hostelries] and the staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs.

The pub has recently been renovated and has such a nice friendly atmosphere. The food was amazing. Plenty of parking :) Thanks

Have just had a lovely relaxed lunch here; first visit to the newly refurbished pub,a friendly welcome, efficient service and tasty food. Brilliant to have somewhere like this within a short walk of home.

After hearing the pub had a decent refurbishment we decided to try a meal using the 'Eat Ouy to help out' scheme. We ranged from fussy teenagers to older grandparents. There was something for everyone. 2 mixed grills were absolutely huge, well cooked meat, done...

First trip out to pub since lockdown (from Cardiff, here on walking holiday) lovely, well presented, homemade food with good beer/Guinness. Staff and owners very friendly. Would go back, no problem

Second visit for a meal since the Parks reopened and refubishment. Lovely food, catering for all tastes and a selection of well kept handpulled draught beers. We can also recommend the Sunday night quiz.
