We are big foodies and this place was amazing from start to finish, from the friendly staff to the wonderful lunch. The portions are awesome, highly recommend the focaccia, we had beef brisket with dipping gravy which was perfectly cosy for the rainy day, we also had a wonderful fresh salmon and cream cheese sandwich, The loaded fries were also SO tasty! We just about managed to squeeze in a pudding since it is in the name and was not disappointed, creamy chocolate orange cheesecake and a tasty buttery flapjack (my husband is a flapjack connoisseur and was very impressed!) we even took some cakes home. We were so impressed with this place, it really has it all, great coffee, the ambiance of the place itself, the staff, the decor, lovely twinkly lights.. even the loos were beautiful. Plus it’s dog friendly! Can’t recommend this place enough.. we are still talking about this place now hours later! will definitely return! Thankyou pug & pudding!

I called in here yesterday and what a treat !!! Lovely staff, great food, and drinks, I can highly recommend it all. My sandwich was so nice and I had a milkshake and a smoothie, delicious!!! It was a nice day, so I sat outdoors, what a beautiful suntrap. Even bowls of water for dogs ( even though I don't have one, but a nice touch ). I definitely will call in again. Thank you and see you again

The food was delicious and the cafe dog friendly but oh , the wait! One hour to serve the five of us our dishes and the cafe wasn’t even crowded.

Lovely place, relaxing atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. We were spoilt for choice on the menu and both meals were delicious with ample portion sizes. Staff were very friendly and Ollie even took time out to have a chat after our meal. Well decorated throughout and very clean. My friend was most impressed with the sparkly grout in the ladies toilet!

Perfect! We went twice in one day it was so lovely. We had coffee and cakes in the morning. The chai latte and brownie are amazing. We then had lunch. Great food at great prices. Excellent vegan and veggie choices. Dog and child friendly. Staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

I had a joint 21st/18th birthday party at the Pug and Pudding at the weekend. Was full with my family, and the atmosphere inside was wonderful with the layout and the addition of birthday signs. The the staff were so accommodating and lovely to everyone. The staff worked so hard to serve drinks all night long and were very attentive. The chefs created a large buffet of a wonderful range of food (pictured) which was complimented by everyone throughout the night. They even catered for dietary requirements, with separate table for vegan food, with no nuts and also served a special plate of food for a guest who is coeliac and felt very included. A brownie stack was created by Donna as a birthday ‘cake’ which was devoured and enjoyed by everyone there. I want to say a huge thank you to the staff at the pug and pudding for catering, serving and welcoming that many guests and making it such a special night for me, my sister and our guests. Make sure to book in to eat or book out for events like this, unforgettable night.

This is a lovely quaint cafe. But it's more than that. Great barista, cakes to die for but also straight forward dishes. The Asian wrap was fantastic.

I went into the Pug and Pudding for lunch with my family. I was very impressed. All the food is home cooked on the premises, and you can tell. Well presented, hot, tasty food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Interior is beautiful. I had a coffee and it was really lovely. I can honestly say the puddings, especially the cheesecakes are absolutely awesome. My friend can be a bit picky sometimes, but she agreed that everything was so tasty and well worth going back for. My picky friend has been back numerous times now and is now a regular visit for her. Highly recommend.

Took advantage of the amazing Sunday Special - homemade pie and mash for £12. I had the chicken and ham, my partner had the steak. Both pies were lovely accompanied by creamy mash - a total bargain. Definitely recommend - we’ll be back.

Discovered this gem when we couldn't park up in Castleton and I am so glad. Lovely setting with friendly staff. Great selection of food on the menu, it was a struggle to choose. Definitely need to go back for a rice bowl, burrito and cake. Should have got cake to take away!

We came here today for brunch- the food was lovely, but as we were sat next to the kitchen we could see everything going on in there. We observed a staff member knocking somebody’s meal off the side in the kitchen as she was about to serve it to a table. The fillings went all over the floor & splattered up the sides of the cupboards. We initially felt sorry for her…. Until she started scraping the food off the floor & smushing the filling into a new bun, to serve to the customer. One member of staff stood in the door way (I think in an attempt to conceal what they were doing), but we could still see what was happening, and hear comments like “I think table 8 (us) saw he dropping it, but I think we’ll get away with it”. The older female that had been cooking the food was assisting the younger female with slopping the coleslaw back into the new bun, and they both had their hands inside the filling, trying to mould it back in to shape. Only when my husband said to them “You can’t serve that!” did they stop, and discard the food. This is disgusting in itself, but the food had been dropped on the floor between the kitchen and the outside dog-friendly seating & grass area, so would probably have bits of grit & dog 💩 in it, along with whatever else had been walked in from outside. We will not be coming here again, and will be warning others not to either. It’s a shame because until then our experience had been lovely, and the food had been great. If you do chose to eat here, we recommend sitting at table 8 so you can see exactly what is going on in the kitchen while your food is being made.

Never open at the correct times. Visited three times over the same week and waited 30-60 minutes before giving up and climbing nearby Mam Tor as they were not open even though they said they were.
