Peels Arms in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Called in for a meal after a very tough day and long walk nearby and what a cracking little place this is. The staff in particular make this what it is, they are amazing and the food was spot on. Now we've found you we'll be back when we're in the area. Thank you. 5*

Not a great experience. Waited ages to get served. Service was poor, didn’t offer drinks we had to ask. We asked them to clear plates when we were finished. When it came to desert we went to get the desert board ourselves. Still didn’t come to take the order so we went to pay. Lost out on a sale of deserts and more drinks from us. Food that came out was good quality hence the 2 stars not 1! Very disappointing visit!

Visited with my daughter and 3 children to be told that they only had one chef working and could not provide us with food. They stop taking orders at 7.30pm, no flexibility or sympathy that we had walked 20 minutes to get to the pub.

Stunning oldie worldie pub, lovely food. we didn't stay over just had a meal.

Huge fan of the peels! Wonderful staff and fantastic food, great portions and options available! Highly recommend you also download SQUID as after a certain amount of visits, you’re rewarded with 50% off a visit.

Went for a friends birthday, had a few drinks, some food too. Great little boozer tooked away.

Very nicely cooked, filling lunch in a lovely old village pub. Reasonable selection of beers and wines with Taylor's Landlord and Neck Oil IPA besides the usual lager and cider options. Not sure it's actually a hotel.

Fabulous Sunday Roast chicken- just what we needed after a long day walking and on route to John O’Groats. The vegetables and chicken were superb- thank you 🙏

Was in glossop and heard about this place through a friend. It is a bit out of the way but was perfect as it wasn't busy like in Central glossop. Friendly staff, good selection of beers, pool and good beer garden. Nice selection of food available, mixture of pub grub and proper mains. Hidden gem..

Fantastic pub, super friendly staff and the food was fantastic. Great choice of drinks too, a real gem.

The staff were really nice and welcoming, really interesting in the walk that I'd been on, took great care in pouring the drinks I had and wanted to know how good I thought the loaded fries I had were which very good indeed.

Really friendly pub with great food and well kept beer. They are really good for gluten-free options. They are not currently a hotel; but Google maps treats them as such. They're a pub.

Excellent. Amazing food and warm atmosphere. 10/10 recommend

Excellent community pub with real history. Good food too! They do not have rooms these days.

Came here a couple months ago after a long and rather cold walk in the peaks and finished the day off with a hot cup of tea and the loveliest soup I've had in a long time (soup of the day - cauliflower and cheese). Beautiful place and lovely service too.

The best meal I have had out in over 20 years (mixed grill) past this on to the chef 👍 my husbands fish & chips was great too. Would highly recommend

We had a wonderful meal here. Attentive and kind service and very accommodating as we came with our doggy. Thank you.

Really lovely local on a great walking route too. Staff are always really friendly. My only feedback would be to lose the fake foliage on the outdoor area it’s not needed :)

Called Sunday afternoon, most tables occupied, but the waiter still managed to find us a place. Food is good as always 😋

Excellent atmosphere, ales and staff. Enjoyed the evening out.

Family meal for Parents’ Diamond Wedding Anniversary. Great food, fantastic service, really enjoyed our meal… very highly recommended…!

Our party of 5 had a great day out and enjoyed a delightful meal in comfortable surrounding. The food was excellent. Staff very attentive and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. R G Dickson.

We are a local family and often visit the Peels. The food is generally good quality and professionally cooked; although the desserts are a total gamble - either a fresh steaming seemingly homemade pudding or something plucked from the Iceland freezers and plonked on a plate. Tonight, as a group of 5 we did have some lovely fresh food but we were disappointed in the 2 £17 steaks - they were the last of the day and gristly throughout, really not what you expect from the top end of the menu. We mentioned it to the serving staff who were apologetic and asked the manager to come and see us, he didn't bother, just kept propping up his overpriced bar. As we paid the bill, we mentioned it again to the manager and he couldn't have been ruder or less interested - £120 bill and he couldn't spare us 15 seconds or any kind of sympathetic gesture. It's so unfair because overall the youngsters and the kitchen staff gave us friendly, attentive service and, for the most part, lovely food. It's a real shame that their efforts were overshadowed by a miserable old man.

Food not bad but the place is dirty and they don't clean the tables after each customer.One glass had lipstick on and we had to send it backThe mats had food from previous customersThe cutely was dirty with food stuck on it. Not covid safe, no windows opened. Not clean.

Visited here as had been to nearby Glossop and glad we did. Both had steak/ale pie as had been recommended and it was delicious - piping hot with plenty of meat and beautiful pastry accompanied by just enough chips. Given opportunity will definitely be back.

Once again we had a family meal at the Peels and once again Phil, Helen and all the staff looked after us. The food was great and they coped well with all our demanding needs.

I went for lunch as soon as we got in a really warm atmosphere and very friendly staff ,I had gammon and seriously one of the best I have had Definitely coming back They have a massive choice of food A massive thank you to the staff Thanks

From when we walked in nothing was too much trouble for the staff.. we had booked a table inside but asked if we could change and sit outside as the weather was so good. We had starter, mains and syrup sponge and custard which was delightful.Good service, good food, great evening. Thankyou.

Visited here yrs ago & was lovely. Went Sunday & to be honest the food was just ok. Cheese & onion pie was nice & good size although the chips let my meal down-frozen rubbish. £13. Daughter had a kebab which was served looking great but was again, just ok-£15!. Nice atmosphere however felt the food for average was overpriced. Had high expectations & overall was disappointed.

It’s hard to find somewhere you feel comfortable eating during this pandemic, we stumbled upon this place as the pub we had chosen was closed. The one way system and shields between tables worked really well. A chatty cheerful young lady behind the bar was helpful and brought our drinks to the table. My fish was really nice and my husbands pie equally so and request changes were met without a quibble. Thanks for a lovely lunch

Took my husband out for the first time since this pandemic as he is very high risk. When we arrived there was plenty of hand sanitizer and screens up in between the tables. My husband said he felt very safe and secure and wheelchair friendly for him. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing .I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice safe meal and drink out. All I can say is it is well worth a visit we will definitely be going back. THANK YOU

As regular customers at the Peels we would like to share our experience. We always get a warm welcome from Phil, Helen and their staff. Extensive choice of home cooked food, always fresh and delicious, especially the cheese and onion pie! Clean, Covid safe environment that still retains its charm of a country pub. We would definitely recommend a visit.

my favourite place to eat. Lovely warm, welcoming and clean pub with extremely friendly and attentive staff. They’ve obviously spent a lot of money and time making it feel completely covid safe. Food absolutely gorgeous with an extensive varied menu at great prices and good portions. Can’t fault it in any way

I have visited the peels arms numerous times for a range of meals, the staff are always friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The covid measures they have put in place are fantastic, there is about 15 screens in the pub and there are screens between every table. During eat out to help out they have been rushed off their feet, The peels have handled it amazingly and Helen and Phil who run the pub are so lovely & work so hard to ensure everyone has a great time in a safe environment.

just been to the peels arms padfield for lunch with my son and partner the food and service was excellent social distancing in place can't rate this enough excellent

After hearing excellent reviews about the peels, me and my partner thought we would take advantage of the eat out to help out scheme and give here a try, what a mistake. The food was cold and I found a hair in one of the meals. For a meal that should have been £12.95, you would expect decent presentation and portion size and at least for it to be warm. When asking for the bill, we politely raised the issue with the waitress, only to get dirty look. The manager came to the table and was very rude and came very close, which made us feel very uncomfortable due to the current situation. No social distancing there. He then explained that they had served over 250 people on that day, but I fail to see what this has to do with our food being cold. I understand that these things happen from time to time, however it could have been dealt with in a nicer way that it was.

Had another lovely meal at our local! Great food and drink and fab service as always. Need to mention Morgan and Jess who are both so good at providing excellent service. Helen, Phil and Martin also worth a positive comment as they always make us feel so welcome

Decided to go to the Peels for Sunday lunch, the first time in six months so we were slightly apprehensive with all the new rules. However, Helen and Phil have managed to keep the warm, friendly atmosphere as well as keeping us safe.The food was as delicious as ever and the service from the staff was friendly and efficient whilst maintaining social distancing.Would highly recommend a visit.

What an amazing cosy lovely pub. We had a wonderful time. The food was lovely I had a burger and my husband had steak pie both lovely and lots of food my little boy loved his fish fingers peas and chips and massive ice cream too. Lots of selection and lots of protection due to covid the screens were good and hand sanitizers everywhere we were told to fill out our details on a form on the tables and all table service. Didn’t want to leave everything was just so nice and relaxed, the beer garden is fab too loads of room and social distancing just a great place. Well done and keep up the good work xx

Dined at the peels tonight our first meal out since lockdown, all I can say is it is great to be back ! Food excellent as always, staff and service fantastic as usual . I have been nervous about going out since lockdown but felt so safe and secure, screens around each table, plenty of sanitiser on entry and on both sides of the bar and customers all respecting each other. Well done Phil Helen and staff you have done a great job

Filled with people who think there bad seen the landlord looking up girls skirts as they go up stairs and being very abusive to another waitress absolutely vile just a fake ass hadfield in my opinion chips are frozen burger raw in the middle.

The staff were attentive however the food was average at best, soup tasted like it was from a packet and chips were still frozen. Peas warm on top and cold underneath. Landlord was rude, asked for the bill and he blankly ignored and seemed to only sit at the bar watching paint dry for the majority of the evening. Heard him shouting at other staff, who had been the only pleasant factor of our otherwise terrible evening out. Very disappointed, was looking forward to our last discounted meal of the month. Clear to see no social distancing being practiced, with our table being right next to another and was the same throughout the pub. No staff had masks, no toilet roll in the ladies toilets and not even a drop of hand sanitizer! Waste of money, even with the Eat Out To Help Out Discount!

Busy due to eat out to help out. Pub not taking anyones details for track & trace, food serving staff not wearing masks or visas & constantly leaning over tables. No soap in toilets, crowded with noisy kids, social distancing a joke even with the odd perspex screen & packing in Monday evening customers. On top of all this the food used to be good, is now bland and over priced.

The food was amazing, and the service was excellent, all the food came out piping hot and fresh, and the service from the staff was second to none. Would recommend to anyone

We’ve been tonight for the first time and definitely won’t be going again.Two people had cheese and onion pie,one portion was just onion.One had burger which was like rubber,one had prawn kebab which had little or no seasoning.I had beef ,first mouthful was a mouthful of fat.

We have visited here many times and always enjoyed. Good atmosphere, food and service. Serves wide range of foods from home cooked pub food to Sunday lunch. There is always a big selection of starters, specials and desserts. Never had a bad meal. Highly recommended.

We visited this restaurant with family today and it was amazing . They have a range of different styles of food and all of them are presented beautifully with some salad. The service was great and the staff were friendly and approachable. The only thing I would say is , please get some more certificates because my daughter went and she did the challenge but there was no certificate which people had promised.

Really disappointing. Ordered 2 lamb dinners which arrived approx 10mins after ordering!! The meat was not distinguishable as lamb, it was sliced packet meat, sure it wasn't roasted joint in site. Surely pub Sunday dinners should be proper meat, carved from a joint on site? Microwaved roasted, bought yorkie, just not what you expect from a country village pub. Not a patch on the bulls head in tintwistle. Very let down. We were back in our car within 40 mins!

Went for Sunday lunch today and we couldn't fault the food at all the Sunday lunch was great my mum had the beef and onion chiabata which she also said was lovely

After a long day's walking, we were greeted with lots of smiles and lots of attention. The place was busy for Thursday but that didn't detract from the attention we were given.. £50 for 2 large meals, 5 generous drinks and a scrumptious pudding.

Hidden gem,recommend by sales man at glossop caravans,otherwise we would never have found it,small local bb pub,staff very friendly and helpful, food lovely, totally relaxing and enjoyable experience, definitely go again if in the area

Visited this pub with a group from The Old House Art course for an evening meal. The booking was made in advance and our table was ready for us when we arrived. All staff were polite, cheerful and professional. Our waitress was so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The menu was varied and suited all dietary needs. The food was served piping hot and tasted delicious.Would certainly recommend. A very enjoyable evening.

We booked in last minute at the pub on our way home from matlock looking for Sunday dinner. The staff were friendly and got us booked in without any issues. The weather was awful and so it was nice to get in somewhere that was very warm. We were sat at a 4 seater table at the back of the pub on our own which was perfect as we were out of the way of any noise from other dinners. However above where we were sat was a glass roof which appeared to be leaking (not surprising given the weather). We didn't kick up a fuss as we had 4 chairs to choose from so simply moved up towards the wall out of the way. We ordered lamb and turkey Sunday roasts however recieved beef and turkey Sunday roasts. Again this wasn't an issue as I wasn't overly picky with which meat I was having. The food was okay, the meat, boiled potato's and veg were cooked nicely however the roast potato's and yorkshire pudding were a bit of a let down.The price was reasonable for what you got however we know we could have made better ourselves which was disappointing and made our decision on the rating. I don't think it helps the chefs the amount of different items on the menu however. There was a small laminated leaflet on the table followed by 2 chalk boards... The pricing on the menu was also different to what we was charged, maybe something else to look at. All in all we had a nice meal, the staff were friendly and welcoming however the few issues did let the place down for us.

Am a local resident but have not visited the Peels for many years. It was recommended to us for having a good kitchen but being perhaps a little bit on the pricey side. We had lunch here. The food was okay but really no more than just ordinary. Three of our party had starters; one arrived as the other two were finishing there's. It took the best part of an hour to get the main courses from order to table. We were not asked if we were enjoying our food and a coffee which was ordered never arrived.

Took the mum out for tea to one of the old places we use to visit weekly! Great food and very friendly staff. Sat in the main restaurant section of the pub as the pub was full but still very accommodating !

Called in as a family for our usual Sunday lunch & where not disappointed. We all went for the Sunday roasts, with starters and sweets. All where delicious & great value for money. Staff all helpful & friendly as always. Big fat bellies now!

Came here with friends we had a fab evening from start to finish. Staff are so welcoming and the food is amazing. Had my favourite lemon cheesecake delicious. Will be back very soon.

The Peel Arms is a gem of a country pub that also offers B&B.; The restaurant offers a variety of wonderful home cooked food and the deserts ! WOW! The deserts!!! The caramel apple pie is gorgeous BUT the Gin & Orange Cheesecake has to be the best desert Ive ever eaten.

Just had a great Sunday dinner with gluten free Yorkshire puddings. Great value for money, and family friendly.

My boyfriend took me out for lunch here. I ordered a vegetarian Mushroom and Red Pepper Stroganoff for £12. While my partner's pie was fairly sizeable, he has barely started eating when I had finished my meal. It was tiny, smaller than a child's portion. Extremely disappointing and overpriced. Staff did not ask if food was ok. Only one ale on (Wainwrights), very poor beer choices.

We went at Christmas it was brilliant night.good was excellent value for money .the service was ,an all round brilliant night

Consistently good here. Fantastic portions, Excellent service, very good plate meat pie. Not as good as my late mother’s but it’s up there.

Visited the Peels on more than one occasion every time the food is delicious The service is warm and friendly nothing overpriced yet a varied menu No one would be disappointed if they were to visit

I'm sorry but the review about a steak being no bigger than a £2 coin has to be utter nonsense. This establishment would never ever serve such a ridiculously small portion unless they were wearing a clown outfit and telling jokes as they were serving it. I don't believe it for one minute but I guess some gentlemen's measurements are different to others!

Came in for a few drinks , decided to have the midweek menu which had various starters , mains and sweets ..decided to have the soup and chilli for a main.

18 of us had lunch here with pre-booked table but no pre-booked food. We were very impressed with the speed and efficiency of the service as we ordered lots of different meals and drinks but all came promptly and with a smile. I can imagine that the pub with be great at Christmas as it is very old and atmospheric so has the potential to look amazing.

We visited the peels recently for a family meal and couldn't have loved it more.

Went to the peels today was met by Phil the landlord. Made me and my family really welcome . The service was really good . Great selection of drinks . Had the mid week special excellent value for money definitely will come back again

Called at the peels arms with my family. I had the homemade pie which when it came out it was a very generous slice with lots of veg and chips. Sat next to the lovely warm log burner. friendly atmosphere, phil, Helen and the team are very welcoming and make you feel at home. Great selction of food on the menu for everyone. Highly recommend a visit to this lovely family run pub.

Had many meals here over many years of which all have been excellent until tonight, sadly I had the mixed grill, how very disappointing, no liver and a piece of steak that was no bigger than a £2 coin, when I complained I was brought out a slightly larger piece of steak that was barely cooked at all, I ordered med/well, how very disappointing, come on peels... Get your act together!

For some reason I've not been for ages. I was shocked at what a large menu they have now. It was packed on a saturday so probably worth booking. Tasted great with good portions. Service was a little basic, young staff forgot things, but overall really enjoyed it.

This place is a hidden little gem. Its in a small place , and its beautiful.

I have visited twice, once for Sunday roast and once mid week. Roast dinners are excellent and well priced with homemade dessert such as apple crumble to follow. There is also a much wider menu. Mid week offers deals before 7.00 pm. The homemade steak pudding was excellent. Friendly service, comfortable and homely. Would highly recommend.

My son and I were tired and ravenous after a long day on the Pennine Way. We stayed at the Oldhouse Torside B&B; nearby and they recommended (and gave us lifts to and from) the Peels Arms. Very welcoming, a good pint and good food. We were ready for it, but it certainly did the job for us.

Visited with my parents for Sunday lunch and were surprised by the amount of options on offer. All the food was lovely and the service was good- we booked in advance but only the evening before. We liked it so much we took the in-laws for lunch the next Saturday and again it was great - would highly recommend.

Visited this pub with a group of friends for an evening meal. The booking was made in advance and our table was ready for us when we arrived.

We are a couple in our 60s/70s on holiday visiting the area and went to the pub for a quiet meal. We went to the bar and were kindly shown to a table in the dining room by a window. The room was warm as it was a lovely day so I asked a passing ‘staff member’ if the window opened. He asked me to move so that he could open the window but had to fetch the window lock as one of the catches was locked. He opened the window ‘wide’ open and left. It was too cool as it was breezy. I got up and put the window on the first catch. We had chicken and leek pie which I found to be pieces of chicken in a sauce. In my piece of pie I had about 3-4 pieces of chicken! I didn’t complain but when asked by staff I mentioned it. On leaving we went to pay the bill at the bar and whilst I was paying, the staff member who had opened the window, came and took over and asked me if the meal had been ok? I mentioned again that my piece of pie hadn’t had much chicken in it. He retorted saying I was being predantic and had been all evening! I asked him why he said that and he said because I’d wanted the window open!! He told me he was the manager. All the other staff were courteous and polite. I would not recommend this pub or the food and would not return, especially as the manager is so rude to his customers.

Had a great 2 nights at the Peels. Friendly staff, clean room and great food. Would highly recommend for a stay in the b&b; or just for dinner.

Had Sunday lunch there. Excellent food and lots of it! Very welcoming and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

The food hear is value for money, you have a relaxing and enjoyable experience in a well done up country pub. I have been here on many occasions, and also for a period of time worked here as a waitress. The staff are kind and polite, and ultimately make some of the best food around. Would totally recommend for any day of the week.

We visited recently having not been for several months. We got a table quickly and were served promptly. The menu choice was good and the food came out in an acceptable time. The food was delicious. My only slight criticism were the chips, homemade ones would have finished off an otherwise perfect dish. Drinks good and quite reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

My 13-year old son and I spent the night here and also enjoyed our dinner and breakfast. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the pub oozed with a classic pub feel, at least to the two of us Americans.

A wonderful Sunday lunch with great service. If booking I would request to sit in the pub rather than the restaurant area. The Sunday lunch was fantastic. Reasonably priced and good homely pub food. Well worth a visit.

We celebrated our grandsons birthday with a family lunch. The food and service was terrific. Some of our party chose from the specials board and others from the general menu all of the food was excellent and the portions very generous. The minced beef and onion pie got a special mention as did the curry of the day. The sweets again were very generous with a special mention for the treacle sponge and custard,.

Lovely evening sat by a roaring open fire enjoying lovely food and a glass of mulled wine. Especially enjoyed the homemade meat and potato pie! Will be back again soon.

I visit here on a regular basis and what a lovely pub/restaurant it is.

came to the peels arms for a meal on new years eve despite being very busy the food and the service was first class. it has a fantastic warm atmosphere with all the staff being very welcoming and attentive without being over bearing

Had a lovely meal here on New Year’s Eve followed by disco (liked the choice of music got everyone up...

Just had a delicious chicken pasta at the Peels served by the friendly efficient staff in a beautiful Christmas setting....

I first came across this pub purely by chance whilst out seeing customers. This pub has charm and character, fine...

Just been for a family Sunday Lunch 8 of us everything was excellent, from walking in to leaving 2 hours...

Having moved into the area in February this little side street pub is a little gem. Having been recommended to...

Booked table for 5 adults and 1 child plus 2 baby high chairs for 5 pm. Table set on arrival...

Unexpected meal out! First visit to this place. It was very friendly. Menu and Specials Board gave you a great choice..staff were really pleasant. Reasonably priced. Restaurant was great. Onions Rings are a must..batter was 5 star. Steaks cooked perfect.

I've visited on many occasions and they've never disappointed. I particularly recommended the Cheese & OnionPie. People who assume that British Food is rubbish will have never dined at a place like this which is British Food at its best.

Nice pub, good food and beer choice. Maybe the menu is too long? With maybe too many choices. Friendly staff

It is a gorgeous venue but alterations have lost some of the pubs character . The menu is very dissapointing and leaves you struggling for choice. The battered mushrooms are OK the lambs liver elven though I asked for rare was overcooked . Resting on the laurels of past glories is not good enough

Visit quite often,tried the roast and soup or dessert.home made pea and ham,was great.followed up with turkey roast and trimmings.the price was only £6.95!

Phil and the team at the Peels Arms made us feel so welcome. The room we had was beautiful and very comfortable. The food in the bar was lovely as was the full English breakfast. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone needing accommodation in that area. Desperately trying to think of excuses for another visit.

Landlord and land lady were really nice food and service was brilliant 10/10 would recommend. Will be coming back.
