Robin Hood Inn, Rainow in Cheshire East

My wife and l stayed here in our Motorhome for one night, we had no problems. On our second day we took a room before our journey home the room was well equipped and the bed was very clean, for the price, we would recommend this establishment. The owner was very welcoming and attentive . I noticed a previous review that gave a poor response to a stay they had all I'll say is you can't please everyone. Karen the owner for us was very friendly and helpful also understanding, our visit to the area was for a family funeral we all found her and the staff very professional considering they had all had some very sad news regarding a member of staff at this time.

We visited Rainow as tourists from 13th-14th September and attended the pub both days. On the first day (Wednesday) we joined in on a Pub Quiz and on the second day we both had fish and chips. The staff/owner here are very friendly and welcoming and it has a lovely local atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and the food was nice (fish and chips and a starter of olives). I would definitely return here if we found ourselves in Rainow again so thank you. If you are staying in Rainow directly it is the only pub within walking distance.

I have been past The Robin Hood, numerous times but never ventured inside before. So, when the chance came to meet up with some close friends who live in Rainow, I jumped at the chance. We had some beers - Wainwright’s Gold and the lovely girl with us had a large Pinot Grigio. We all are Fish and Chips which was really excellent as you will see from the photos. Great evening with very good and friendly staff and locals. Thank you for making me so welcome. I will be back…

Great food! Some of the best fish and chips I've had. Lovely desserts. Friendly and efficient service and good choice of wine and beer. Lovely evening.

Great pub under new friendly management. Good draught beer Bass and Wainwrights and lovely decor and nice warm fire.

Great friendly quiz night plenty of laughs and delicous Chilli very enjoyable evening. Will be testing our knowledge and memories here often. Brilliant 👏 👏

Lovely walk with friends so thought we would stop for a few drinks, miserable staff, especially the lady. Expensive drinks for below average beer. I’ve given it 2 as it was cosy at first, until the miserable staff cast a gloom.

Called on speck and found our old local from 35 years ago in really good shape. Nice covered seating area outside, and staff was really welcoming. Limited menu, but now the norm during covid. Will call again.

Whilst out driving during the Covid, we came across this lovely public house.This pub as your safty at heart, plenty of hand gel around, markers on the floor to stand on , the land lady was so nice and helpful, Two very cold beers were served, we sat out doors and then decided to have a Pizza....WOW it was better than any Pizza hut, it was served very hot, and a fantastic home made pizza, plenty of fillings...but served by caring staff following all the safety advice... I would ask not to miss this gem of a pub, great caring staff, great food and a stunning location....do not pass this one !

We stopped in Rainow for New Year and came to the pub a couple of times. We first came for Sunday dinner which was delicious. 3 people had steaks which were very good and the kids meals were great portions and were very nice. The owners are really lovely and very accommodating. It was very welcoming and cosy inside with a pool table and darts. The drink selection was great with a fair few gins to chose from. The service was brilliant. We came back for New Years Eve, there was a DJ and Karaoke (with a very talented bunch of singers). All the locals were so friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. Thanks Jackie and Scott for having us and making us feel so welcome :-)

Used to be my regular haunt many years ago, so called in out of curiosity. Still a nice country pub. Had the Sunday roast and in was very nice and good portions. Will call again.

One of the pictures is not actually of the pub. The second from left currently when viewed on an ipad. Anyway, a good local pub with a fantastic view from the decking/garden. Does Tapas and pub grub. Decent beer too.

Just popped into the pub while staying a week in this amazing little village. Great for a refreshing boozer after a hill climb or after one of Nicks workouts at the local boot camp. This pub definitely worth a visit and some great cask ales.

Great little pub after a 5 mile walk round the area - good cider and nice atmosphere - sitting out on decking watching the sunset

Lovely little pub very friendly with a good selection on the menu. we had their excellent ploughman’s lunch, which was massive we took some home ! The pub is dog friendly too. I wish we lived closer highly recommended

Great local pub (the only one left in Rainow - whats the matter with you people?!?). Three real ales available, beer garden with nice views & a pleasant interior. Nice staff & decent pub food (not gourmet but very nice), & dog friendly too.

We came here for a spot of pub lunch after a Sunday afternoon in bollington. Staff were very friendly and food was delicious. They do a summer bar menu or delicious tapas. The garlic mushrooms and Spanish omelet were cooked fresh and really tasty. Pub is also dog friendly which was really nice.

Just called in for lunch after a walk in the Goyt Valley. The food is really good, large portions and very tasty. Will definitely be calling in here again.

Phoned today to book a group of walkers in for April on a Wednesday lunchtime. We have used this pub many times in the past. However, was told even though we always pre-order if there were more than 15 of us we could only have hotpot for lunch!! Needless to say, we will do our walk from nearby Bollington where there are pubs who will welcome us and our £10-£20 per head lunch and drinks money! And they will allow to choose from their menu!

Had the best steaks here we have eaten for a long time... real chips too yummy going to try the tapas menu one day it looks amazing

Called in today for lunch. Food was very tasty and value for money. Lovely cosy pub with roaring fire. Staff very friendly and efficient. Beautiful place to eat and drink. Will defiantly be back again

This is a really good local pub. Beer is good. The Tapas is very good, and great value. Need a crowd for Tapas to be best (lots of dishes to share). Arrange a group of friends, and book ahead. They do a set-menu sort of Tapas, where the different dishes just seem to keep coming and coming.

My wife and I walked over from Bollington with the dog and wow was it worth it. Wonderful warm welcome, gorgeous open fire crackling away that helped us thaw out and perfect ale of which there is a good selection. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed but the icing on the cake was the food, they do tapas but we couldn’t believe how reasonably priced the steak was. So we both went for that and it didn’t disappoint. Perfectly cooked and clearly a very well sourced piece. The menu boasted they sourced it from the local butchers and we agreed it was a cracking mouth watering cut. Home mate chips really well seasoned tomato mushrooms and all trimmings. The service was exemplary and it was all so very reasonably priced. I’m not normally one for writing reviews but we enjoyed ourselves so much and felt like we got so much value from our little trip I felt I had to shout about it. You will not be disappointed and we will definitely be making regular returns to this incredible gem..

Fabulous food & great atmosphere . Something for everyone but the Tapas are outstanding Good selection also from the main menu

The five of us thoroughly enjoyed a really tasty lunch after our walk. Cosy, very friendly atmosphere and good beer

Traveling from Disley to Macclesfield we stop at this pub not know what to expect from the outside very nice inside event better with a real fire beer spot on and now the food probably the best autentic Spanish tapas i have heating the Spanish omelete , meat balls ,beans chorizo black pudding stew,gambas al pil-pil,patatas bravas, all excelent .

We recently bought a house in Rainow just as the pub was taken over by the new owners. The food here is awesome! We literally eat tapas here at least twice a week. We’ve had friends and family come to visit and have taken them here for food and they loved it. Great place

We had a very nice meal and great service. Good menu selection and food freshly cooked. Great location.

I was looking for somewhere half way to meet friends and I always look on TA. This place was back on form so gave it a try. My friends like english pub classics and I prefer something a bit different so this ticked all our boxes nicely. I had great tapas, lovely wine, they had fish and chips, all went down well. Tapas was very good, will be back for more. Loved the patio area and thought the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming which I really value. Great place. Thank you

Went this week to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Food was amazing, as always. Everything was done to make our evening special. Great value for money. Thank you Scott and Jackie

Somewhat unexected to find Tapas at a small village pub, but that's what you'll find. Excellent value for money, and the different dishes just keep coming and coming.

Called on spec and wasn’t disappointed. Excellent service and food. Really nice guy behind the bar. Comfortable and warm atmosphere. We will be back. Many Thanks

We had heard that the Robin Hood Inn served tapas, so we booked for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our table was ready when we arrived and we received attentive, helpful service. We tried a variety of the foods on offer, including bread, chicken, prawns, calimari, croquettes, peppers and potatoes (two types). The calimari were our least favourite but all the other foods were excellent. The portion sizes were good too. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We live close to the pub,and have seen it go through some very sad periods.

Superb tapas and friendly staff....great value and huge portions! Chef has worked in Ibiza for years and it shows

Had a really lovely evening here, the food was fantastic and the servers incredibly friendly. The service was a tad slow but we ordered a lot of food so it was expected

Six of us came for a meal. Fantastic tapas. Told we’d ordered a lot but not a morsel left. Hosts are so friendly. Great value

Called in at lunchtime today for something to eat,The food was lovely and fresh the staff pleasant and even the dog got a treat.Will be calling again when passing.Thank you.

If you are travelling through the picturesque village of Rainow or looking for somewhere to stay then look no further...

Entramos aquí con amigos, parada con los niños por un par de pintas en un sábado por la tarde. Una buena cerveza, tres de barril. La Encargada, era agradable y hablador un montón de gente como nosotros que vuelve en una copa, bien vale la...

Nos alojamos en el Inn de Robin Hood durante 5 días, después de haber viajado desde Portugal y Kenia. Todo era maravilloso. Servicio excelente y extremadamente simpático, nada era demasiado problema para Suzanne y Rob. Las habitaciones son muy acogedoras y tranquilas. Excelente conexión rápida...

Después del almuerzo visitamos por un paseo por la zona con amigos. Menú bastante pequeño pero adecuado para nuestras necesidades. Yo opté por el abadejo, muy fresca y buena pasta crujiente de luz. Bien presentado. Precio muy razonable

Fuimos caminando en festivos y encontré este gran pueblo en campo magnífico de Cheshire. Varias cervezas de barril y un pequeño menú de comida casera. Ambos tuvimos carne tarta de riñón con la rica salsa más fantásticas. Muy sabroso y una excelente relación calidad-precio. Excelente...

Buena comida, buena cerveza, buenas habitaciones, buen precio, buena compañía. Chimeneas, preciosa zona, encantador pub.

Chiste de un lugar. La comida es un 1 sobre 10. Ingredientes obviamente no son los chefs punto fuerte (chef de cocina jaja) o pensar en ella. Muy deprimente pub. Si vas a comer recomiendo la patatas fritas

This is a lovely pub with friendly helpful staff.... great food....lovely decking area.... good parking and childrens play area

Superb Christmas meal - food quality was excellent. Had a traditional Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings and it was clear it was all home made! We received a very warm welcome, the pub is traditional with log fires and a friendly atmosphere. Attentiveness of bar and waiting staff was spot on. My friends and I had a very enjoyable evening!

Thankyou for a brilliant stay over the weekend really enjoyed ourselves. Great breakfast (served not too early which was greatly appreciated with a hangover).Very friendly and attentive staff...nothing was too much trouble.Bed very, very comfortable.We are planning our next stay already.Soph and Paul (the green couple haha)

love this local pub! Dog friendly. Friendly staff. Home cooked food which is not over priced. Oatcakes and scampi and Sunday Roasts are excellent.BEST PUB IN THE AREA!

Called in for lunch during a leisurely drive in the Pennine foothills. Had a good welcome, with blazing fire and clean toilets with very hot water.Although the menu was short, everything seemed home made and well cooked. The portions were huge, even over facing; would have been better with less piled on the plate. A good country pub.

Evening meal after a long walk. Great foodGreat atmosphere, friendly and attentive landlord and staff

Wednesday is Pie Night. Excellent home made pies, choice of 7, we had the chicken, ham & leek pie with a suet crust. A little country pub, excellect food, good Thwaits beer, with a b&b. we will be returning!

Good quality pub food. Pie night I think it was Wed., need a reservation. Owner friendly and personable and went out of his way to help us with delayed luggage (which was delivered to his pub).

After walking to Rainow it started to pour with rain so popped in for a beer. There were lovely intimate areas you could sit in and the atmosphere was lovely. There were books you could read while there and brochures of attractions and walks in the area

called in on the off-chance there was a room for the night. Stayed and enjoed good beer, food and the company of the Landlord and locals. Made to feel welcome throughout.

Classic lovely English pub full of charm. The make the pies themselves and they are great, as was the other food we have. On a rare sunny day the beer garden is worth a visit.

We went for the first time for our friend's Christening Party and thought it was a wonderful. Lovely traditional décor and atmosphere. Food was lovely. Had a brilliant decking area and plenty of outdoor seating. The one thing I could criticise is the play area (although my daughter did have hours of fun) is that the ground surrounding it consists on mainly stones and bare ground. I think that putting something down that is more child friendly would enhance the area. Thanks for a lovely day

Onverwacht in een quizz beland met bingo. Geweldig! Leuke pub, heerlijke biertjes! Gezellige sfeer en als toerist zeer welkom onder de engelse pub bezoekers!

We called into the robin hood in rainow and were made to feel very welcome even with our dog. The food was gorgeous. Apparently the usual chef was off but if the stand in chef was anything to go by the full time chef has serious competition. The portions were huge and home cooked and really tasty, we went for the steak but friends recommended the hot beef butties too. The pub has a very friendly atmosphere and the landlady is very friendly. The beer garden is lovely and the views are great. So enjoyable we are going back for breakfast on Friday morning.

Came for some food and a couple of drinks after work with colleagues. Could not fault the location or the appearance of the pub, however the food was very basic and tasted like it was from Iceland frozen foods.Outdoor seating area is lovely, would definitely recommend going for a drink there. Decent selection of cask ales which is always a winner with me but will steer clear of the food in future.

Unfortunately, the room where we stayed was small, the double bed was cramped, the staircase to get to the room on the upper floor was narrow and steep. On arrival, even though the booking confirmation listed full English breakfast as included in the tariff, the proprietor told me that he usually only does a Continental breakfast on Monday mornings. However, after negotiation, a cooked breakfast was supplied.Overall, this small country hotel was below par and I would not stay there again.

Great home cooked food and great cask ale. Definitely made to order. Dog friendly too with a great outside area.

Visited this pub twice in April as part of a walking group, good range of ales, good food, very friendly staff

Do you know how hard publicans work at village pubs in fact we had been up since 7.00am cooking for B& B guests and cleaning. We open for our customers from 9.00am, which not many pubs do. We are trying our best to make this a pub that everyone can enjoy. We have also been fighting along battle to keep the decking, which did take its toll on is. Thankfully this is now passed and we can get on with running the pub. As someone who lives in the village I would of thought you would of realised how hard we work and that we are managing to keep this beautiful village pub open. Where does it say that the fires have to be lit, even though they are lit everyday. We need support in our local pubs not negativity. Remember a publican can never be poorly or someone will put it on trip advisor that you look like you just got up. I feel this comment very rude. I know I have gone on , but I work extremely hard for this village.

Visited during a walk out with friends. My wife and I had the steak and ale pie and it was lovely. Portion size was very generous too. Our friends had the oatcakes and they were very complimentary about them. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Arrived 1230 Saturday on Easter Weekend & it looked like everyone had just got up.We were looking for shelter after a cold & blustery walk.The place was cold & fairly unwelcoming - the fire wasn't even lit.We left the place feeling colder than when we arrived!We have visited & enjoyed the pub for it's homeliness, whilst out walking, for may years, over it's troubled times, but it will be a long time before we risk another visit.

friendly pub. Dog friendly. Treat after walk Teggs Nose. Wonderful oven baked pizza in the car park on a Sunday. Family orientated.

Went to this Pub last week for the first time as its now our new local, the welcome by the owners and staff couldn't have been more friendly. It was a cold wet midweek evening and the log fire inside was very much a plus. We had an evening meal there off the main menu, which was homecooked and tasted wonderful, we just had main courses but will definitely be going back again to try "Pie night".It served great real ales and they again were very good. Looking forward to going back again soon.It also has a pool table and darts board, and has a cafe thats open during the day as well.

This appears to be the only pub left in the area of Rainow we were in and what a great place it was. Home cooked meals served, with a great selection of beers etc. Open fires - warm and toasty. Plenty of car parking. Very friendly atmosphere.

Not been here for many years but our daughter recommended it too us. Just a quick visit for a sandwich. Wow it has been much improved inside and out. very welcoming and friendly, cosy and clean. Great sandwiches and looked like a great menu. Will definitely return very soon

Found this place almost by accident. Fabulous ! Lovely fire burning ,comfortable surroundings, a cheerful welcome from the staff. Cheese and onion pie for lunch,absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back.

The Pies can only be described as excellent, Steak and Kidney tonight. Delicious. Cheese and Onion second to none. Great Pub...

We love visiting the Robin Hood. Since the new owners took over, the improvements are noticeable each time. The food is good and staff friendly and attentive. The sweet shop is a nice addition however given the lack of shop in the village I wonder whether it might be possible to also stock milk/bread etc too? Either way this is only a plus to an already fantastic pub. Keep up the good work!

We were unsure when we booked for 5 of our friends whether it was a good idea as we have no experience of the food of Ghana, but it was a true delight. The chef (I believe he was a guest chef just for that evening) came round to the tables but we did not get a chance to thank him properly. The service was gpod, the atmosphere was great and I would love for them to do something similar in the future. The family who now run the pub are doing a great job to revive this much needed venue in a quiet Cheshire village.We have not yet tried their standard menu, but we intend to visit again very soon. Another plus is how sparkling clean the pub is now since the arrival of the new team.

Apologies for your visit. We had been extremely busy and staff had also let us down. The kitchen is only small, and we had run out of plates as well as food. We do hope that you try us again, and make a point of letting us know when you are in, so that we can apologise to you. Suzanne

Visited the nearby Robin Hood Inn at Rainow for an evening meal and discovered that Wednesday night is PIE night. The standard menu is replaced by an all pie menu. Sampled the fish pie and the Lamb pie - both excellent, with chips and seasonal vegetables. Veg were nicely cooked and the chips were excellent. It was early when we called but already half the tables were reserved! Choice of seven or eight pie-based meals. All looked excellent and much appreciated by the other diners. Can also recommend the Raspberry and Blackcurrant bakewell tart desert. Light pastry plenty of fruit filling and a melt-in-the-mouth bakewell almond sponge top, perfect.

We were delighted when the pub changed hands earlier this year. We're keen walkers so regularly pass through Rainow, so it's perfect for lunch and a pint. There have been some good improvements - particularly with the addition of an amazing sun deck out the back. The food is quite good and very reasonably priced but service can be quite slow. We were however really disappointed yesterday (Sunday) when we tried to order food at 2.20pm to be told that they "weren't doing it anymore as they had been too busy". They wouldn't even make us a ham sandwich! Not sure I'll convince my husband to go again, which is a shame.

popped in for a drink and ended up staying all evening .... brilliant two piece band on and the place was comfortably full with friendly people having a good evening . brilliant bar staff and outside sitting area .... will definitely return

Had a wonderful stay here after a day at the football - perfect place to stay, friendly staff - all making such an effort. Can't recommend enough

Excellent beer! Great friendly landlord and landlady! and the food looks excellect! not eaten here yet but certainly

Under new management this pub has been improved with outside decking area and bar and good menu for food. Great location in Rainow with views over the hills.

I have visited the Robin Hood on occasion for the past twenty five years. I have seen the pub change hands more than a few times and have to say that The Price family, And Joe... have increased the general atmosphere and feel good factor of the pub in general. As for the amenities, there has obviously been an incredible amount of effort and investment put in to the appearance and general layout of the building, most prominently the beer garden which has changed from a humble almost cliché "table out the back" into a beautiful decking area. Complemented by an outdoor bar (available for special events) completely revamped with a nostalgic British flare, with ample space and tables galore. Food is excellent, especially "pie night" which is both affordable and not intimidatingly large. I wish them all the best of luck and will continue to enjoy the exceptional service for as long as they are in business. Thank you for a great night!

Me and my homedogs decided to go to the Robin Hood for Hawaiian night. We got there at half 7 so we could have some food first. There is a cracking new decking area and that's what the party was for. The staff were really nice as me and my homedogs had some food. I had the steak and kidney pie. It was top class. The pie was one of the best pies I've ever had. So much flavour and will be back soon. I love the pie! Then we had cocktails and a good laugh with the friends. Then there was a limo competition on. (Which the pics are of). This was great fun and a real laugh. I really enjoyed my Time at the Robin Hood and will be going back as soon as possible.

Have been here a few times but it now has a new landlord who is very friendly and has improved many things including an excellent outside deck area. On my previous visits I always enjoyed the Wainwright but that seems to have gone along with two of the real ale hand pumps. Food seems less pretentious than before - I had a curry from the Specials list. Sadly it was more of a stew than a curry (don't expect an Indian style curry). The worst thing about the pub was a small group of locals who completely blocked access to the small bar. Despite my polite requests and attempts to get to the bar being obvious they wouldn't move an inch. It was clearly their territory and they were determined to make you feel really unwelcome in coming between them to try to get served. I barged my way through them but they carried on talking through me as though I was getting in their way. I guess that this pub is fine for locals but if the new landlord wants his pub to appeal to visitors then he needs to educate some of his regulars in basic manners.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and it now has new owners who have only been here 7 weeks but have done a tremendous job in that time. It is now a real family run business with the restaurant based on what people really want and very reasonably priced with good portions. The owners, Robert and Sue as extremely friendly as is their son and the rest of the family. Nothing is two much trouble and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in which are all new with memory foam mattresses.Breakfast was good.

We booked a table there, and opened a tab. The only thing on offer were pies - which they didn't tell us when we booked. So no starters or puddings on offer Not really what we wanted, but as there was no alternative, and the landlord told us the pies were amazing, we had them.The chicken and ham filling was very fatty, yet the chicken dry, and had rather a large bone in it. The greens beans on the side limp and the pie top soggy and unappealing.When we came to pay, we were told they didn't take cards. Fortunately we just had enough money between us, as the bill came to around £40 for the two of us. I pointed out that to the landlord (who had previously been friendly) that we should have been told at time of opening the tab. He said it was written in big letters on the way in, but we didn't see it when we looked on our way out.They were also not able to provide a receipt, as the till was not working, so gave us a hand written scrat with no VAT number on it.(Apparently not registered yet).From then on the staff ignored us, and were generally unfriendly. It seems to be the only pub for miles, maybe why it has survived, but I don't recommend going there for the food when there is plenty of choice only a couple of miles down the road in Macclesfield.

Had a chequered history of late but now a friendly and welcoming team have taken over and made changes with good beer and food. New outside deck elevated for the view is popular and the place has been thoroughly cleaned. A nice place to visit

Just returned from a weekend at the Robin Hood. The new owners have already improved the accommodation and could not do enough to make our stay a good one. Breakfast was great - we had cereals followed by a full English with juices and coffee.The beds were very comfortable so we both slept well. We had 2 meals here and both were good.... as well as the beer (real ale). Please ignore any negative comments as they relate to previous owners - not to the lovely family running it now.

Great local country pub. Always good for a pie & a pint if you are out walking in the local countryside which is beautiful.

Great facilities with an ensuite, tea, coffee, biscuits and drinking water in room. Breakfast was served in the pub. Full English with plenty of cereals, juice, tea and coffee to choose from. Professional management who are very family friendly and cannot do enough for you. Enjoyable stay with beautiful views, room facilities and food. Will stay again.

Wonderful stay at this warm and friendly little pub. You feel an immediate welcoming sense of community spirit as soon as you enter. The new landlady and landlord went out of their way to make us feel at home in their newly furnished and decorated rooms. He even drove us to our party when we couldn't get a taxi! Super full english too. We wish you every success.

The new family at the pub can't do enough for you. It was a lovely stay with amazing breaky, they even fed our children as they appeared with grandad the next day. We will be back. We have high hopes for the food and we are sure the new landlords will make it a success.

We stayed at the Robin Hood over two nights - 20 and 21st February. We have stayed several times before. However, this was definitely our worst experience. On the first morning the chef arrived late to prepare breakfast ( we understood as there had been a light fall of snow). However, this happened again this morning. The chef had not shown up by 9.30. As we had a three hour journey we made our disappointment clear to the owner. He did apologise and blame the chef for not opening up and gave us money towards our breakfast. The meal we had on Friday and the late breakfast on the first morning were good. The owner asked us for our keys to the complex to try to call the chef - surely an organisational issue?The bed was not made or towels replaced after our first evening. Cups and tea/coffee had not been replenished. The bed was also in a poor state - it wont last much longer. How disappointing that the pub/restaurant looks so shabby. We had a meal in a pub in nearby Bollington. Here the fire was roaring and verging on too hot. The Robin Hood is a country pub but sadly is missing any warmth. This venue has changed hands many times. These people need to take a serious look at organisation, welcome and ambience within the pub/restaurant.We wish them well whatever they decide to do - however, we won't be returning to this venue.

Called in for Sunday lunch expecting a Carvery but no longer available so we ordered beef roast from the menu.The meat was tough and inedible and the vegetables nearly raw. Dirty cutlery and slow service.All very disappointing especially as we were out to celebrate a birthday. We asked for a refund for the food which we did get.

I must echo the comments of the previous guy. We arrived on Monday lunchtime for a spot of lunch after walking in the village and unfortunately it was the only day that they did not serve food, however the new Landlord, Jim, said that he would happily make a sandwich for both of us which he did, not something a lot would do. Fantastic service!! Great views and lovely warm open fires. Well done and good luck Jim I will be back.

Some places don't need to be flash when the hospitality is this good. Jim our landlord and host had only taken over the place 2 weeks prior but the level of commitment he showed to us made us feel so comfortable - and willing to go back.We were arriving NYE after the kitchen was going to close at 5... but he paid the cook the extra hour to accommodate us - so sat down to a fantastic steak dinner before the nights revelries. Later that night when we returned in the wee small hours, the pub was still open so we grabbed a beer, only to be presented with 2 bowls of steaming hot, homemade chicken and chorizo stew to accompany them. On the house and delicious. You can't buy service like that.The Breakfast was plentiful, the room was clean and comfy and the location was ideal for exploring the Peak District. Lovely pub, lovely stay. Fully recommended.

Booked a room and not even told there would be a staff Christmas party so there would be no food, shocking service

I feel i should mention that the food and ambiance of this pub is lovely. However whilst tucking into a lovely steak baguette and my companion having fish and chips. The staff (Management) started having an all out family row, language was not pleasant. and to be honest we feel insulted that they felt that this is acceptable in front of customers. absolutely shocking. there is a place and a time to air your dirty laundry, and that in not in a PUBLIC HOUSE. we will not be back....

Went here last week and really enjoyed it, good food and welcomimg, its a proper country local pub and will definitely go again, love it to be my local with that roaring fire

Good place to stay - unbeatable value.See my review of the above. Trip Advisor need to improve the search, location finding and identification and rationalise the listings.
