Lovely pub very warm and friendly. The staff were top notch and poeple made us feel welcome

Lovely family meal on Saturday night with family and friends to celebrate our Diamond Wedding Anniversary.Everyone enjoyed themselves thank you Emma and staff.

Excellent home- made food. Lovely welcome

Nice pub-as it has been for a good while and food is good!

Only went in for drinks as we were staying nearby but the atmosphere was brill and the staff very friendly. Choice of drinks were good too

The pub itself is absolutely stunning, me and my partner visited yesterday evening and enjoyed a wonderful meal and some lovely drinks. The staff inside are very welcoming and genuinely want to talk to you! Had some great conversations, the pub itself is conveniently placed and has a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Local residents come in with their lovely dogs too and are so lovely and welcoming too. Staff are lovely, food is incredible. Thank you for making our evening so wholesome and lovely! It was an absolute pleasure to visit your establishment and spend a few hours. Absolutely awesome place 👌🏽

Nice food good beers. What more can you ask for

Stopped for a quick lunch during a walk and so glad we did. Excellent value food, served piping hot and very tasty too.

Great home cooked meals, friendly accommodating staff & a real country local atmosphere. Would highly recommend if in the area.

Excellent friendly place. Had meals at different times such as Sunday lunch, evening plus early evening. Always really hot when served,food is always good. Desserts are a must have to me anyway. Welcoming atmosphere especially as I am a lady on her own. Well behaved Dogs are allowed to come in even if you are eating. Been coming to the knot for years.

Really lovely place. Staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome immediately. We went on the curry night where there was a set menu. Onion bhaji to start, this was incredible - so crispy and tasty (one of the best I've ever had). Then there was a choice of 2 curry's, a tikka masala and a chicken bhuna. We tried both and they were good. It came with a naan bread which was cooked to perfection. Choice of desserts was good, I had the Brownie which melted in your mouth and was so warm, and we also had the treacle pudding which was also lovely. The food was £40.00 with the set menu deal for 2 each having 3 courses. Compliments to the chef, we will be back!

Wonderful Christmas day meal. Very obliging. Brilliant service.

Friendly local pub. Great food and beers. Recommended to book a table for food

Closed. Apparently being turned into a party venue where you can stay. So perhaps unsurprising my booking wasn’t honoured .

Beautiful quaint pub. Fabulous food and amazing service

Fantastic place to eat, drink and socialise.

Brilliant evening at curry night. Can't wait for the next one !

First time going for lunch 😋 was very nice hot soup and beef sandwich 🥪 😋 would recommend 👌 lovely friendly staff 😀

Great food very pleasant atmosphere fantastic staff very nice decor

Good food, great service, pleasant and helpful staff, clean environment certainly a place to visit

Strangers beware, the locals are so friendly you'll end up moving to the area. Great pub, staff, food, and superb beer. Drop in and within minutes, you'll feel at home.

Love it here, great food, great atmosphere, so friendly , highly recommended!!!!! The Eton mess is heaven in a dish , I shouldnt tell eveyone or they may not have any left next rime I visit 🤣 The homemade creamy cheese broccolli bake was also amazing and the chips are fabulous, can't recommend enogh , definitely See you soon !! 😊

Lovely staff. Dog made very welcome

Lovely service great food spot on

Great local pub with a lovely atmosphere. Recently refurbished to a very high standard with great facilities (tv for sports, pool table). Bar food is available and fantastic value for money. Very friendly staff, can not wait to go back.

Great food and a great atmosphere we loved it

Excellent. Very comfortable & inviting pub. Donna is an excellent host. Food was delicious traditional pub food, with a simple & not exaggerated menu. Nicely decorated - clean & rustic, whilst been current & with a traditional feel. A good choice of ales & beers. Fruit machine & pool table. A duke box & screens for I imagine big games etc. Even an open fire & bar rails. Some really nice little touches 👍 thoroughly recommend a visit 🍻🥂

Lovely little country pub that does food but only open for part of the week. Unfortunately there isn't a car park nor a great deal of parking around. Does a really delicious Sunday roast. Great ambience, clean and very pretty decor, well recommend a visit but check first whether it's open.

Nice little country pub. Had the fish and chips, very nice. Very pleasant staff. Parking a bit of a problem but there's plenty of parking available on the roads nearby.

Very nice Sunday roast...lovely place

Absolute gem of a pub! Lovely village pub and lovely interior. Feels really homely and very welcoming. Great service for drinks and the food we had last night was fabulous. Would definitely recommend x

Nice country pub...good staff.. a little overpriced..

Lovely family run pub, good food and drinks and live music

Excellent value, lovely homely food, would definitely go again. Went to The Staffordshire Knot again today and yes it has changed, still dog friendly although ours wasn't which was embarrassing and unusual! The seating has been reupholstered, the whole place has a new clean tidy look after a makeover during lockdown. The food was tasty and value for money, the service speedy, good hand pump beer and cool glass of wine. Thank you. 11/12/22 We visited again today for Sunday roast, unfortunately the menus provided didn't list any roasts which was disappointing. We selected our meals and submitted our order. We chatted and, as we did so, I noticed a board on the wall across the room advertising Sunday roast! Disappointment turned to anger that no-one had thought to either offer or bring to our attention the notice. My other grievance was that we were positioned under a huge television screen which, although the sound was switched off, kept changing colours and pictures, diverting attention to the ever changing screen spoiling our family Sunday lunch. Never in our household would the television be on whilst entertaining and dining, this new addition is one which will make me very reluctant to return, sorry.

Had a lovely meal here yesterday for my nephews 21st. There was 11 of us and each and every meal was just perfect and delicious. A great pub, so relaxing and staff are so friendly. Cant wait to go back and try a Sunday lunch. Thank you.

Friendly pub that serves good food in a great atmosphere Super for watching sports

Lovely pub, great staff, The Best onion rings when you nip in for a livener after a rural walk

Had a really good Sunday lunch here today. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food was great. We will be back again soon.

Lovely home cooked food at great prices

Really fantastic pub , the food is amazing , home cooking at its best , never been disappointed, pies, gammon even a sandwich and chips is great. Also draught Bass .........delicious.

Booking is advised (it says on the website), but nobody answers the phone. I have tried six times yesterday and today. Nobody picks up. No idea whether they are closed for Covid or some other reason, or have gone bankrupt and packed up the business. Shame, it looks good on the website.

Great pub with great food, great beer and a warm welcome

Nice staff .food ok no parking as sutch

Family of 6 visited in October. Very impressed. The quality of the food was exceptional. Rack of lamb was three big hunks of lamb, cooked perfectly pink, with crispy, salty fat, and a rich sauce. Steak was ordered medium, and came cooked perfectly and well rested. Desserts were lovely too. Top quality pub grub.

Lovely food , warm friendly service from this small team . Fire burning in the grate and a warm welcome . Good home cooked food ; good portions but emphasis on quality

1st visit here today. Lovely homely pub and nicely decorated too. Staff are friendly and food was home cooked and really lovely too. Well priced and a nice place for a bite to eat.

Just returned from a lovely meal in this charming country inn. Received a warm welcome and an interesting selection on the menu. Husband had the mussels followed by the cod with bacon & black pudding, I had smoked salmon & prawns followed by the duck breast and sweet potatoes. All cooked with a fresh twist and inventive sauces and served well with an ample selection of vegetables. We just about managed to fit in choices of puddings. Highly recommend.

First time we've been here and we were very impressed, clean staff very friendly food lovely a proper pub, thanks for a lovely experience

Our lunch today was enjoyable, 10/10 we will definitely be back 10/10 for bar maids whom were happy and welcoming.

Visited again and the quality remained top notch. Good menu with sufficient range to meet all needs. Starters featured excellent Baked Camembert, superb mussels and creamy garlic mushrooms. Mains were also excellent, particularly the chicken pie, the sea bass and the duck. Service was excellent; personable yet professional. Quality and will be back again.

My wife and I had dinner here in August 2021. The food was outstanding and the prices extremely good in our opinion considering the quality of the produce used and the creativity of the menu. The service was also exceptional. This is a must-visit restaurant in the Peak District.

Lovely atmosphere. Well kept beer. Nicely renovated

Brilliant staff brilliant atmosphere

WOW, what a meal, we booked here as a recommendation from where we were staying at ‘Parsons House B&B’, and they managed to squeeze us in during our stay for a meal. Tucked out of the way just outside Hartington, we loved the setting and the food was incredible, we ordered starters ‘Goats Cheese with salad’ and ‘Camembert’ which were delicious and a beautiful starter, for our mains we had ‘Chicken Roulade’ and ‘Rack of Lamb Ribs’, delightful food, they come with side veg and are a large portion. Some of the best food we have had, and both left us very full, but it was so nice didn’t want to leave anything. Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough, the staff are amazing and so happy and smiling continuously, they deserve high praise, if you can get in, book here.

Best Sunday lunch in a pub, great service and food. First time in Peak District and have to say friendly people, fantastic scenery and great pubs but this one topped the lot.

Having not visited, for some reason, for a number of years whilst on holiday in Hartington, we booked a table as suggested & received a warm welcome. We were the first diners & our hostess was very helpful, bringing our menus & we had a good chat whilst she served our drinks. After choosing main courses we continued our conversation until other diners arrived & it wasn't long before our meals were served. We were delighted with our choices - duck & rack of lamb - which were beautifully presented on hot plates. The portions were generous & the selection of vegetables was very good. We enjoyed every mouthful - both meats were very tender & tasty. We had room for desserts & chose lemon tart & Eton mess & although we were told of a slight delay because of several other diners being served, we didn't wait long at all & were not disappointed with our choices. We highly recommend this lovely pub in a quiet village.

First time at the Knot in ages. All 3 of us had an excellent meal and would definitely recommend this quiet lovely little pub. Very welcoming and although the selection of beer was limited, the Winkle Waller was excellent.

One of my favourite pubs to visit. They allow dogs and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

Found this pub off the beaten track in a beautiful setting. The menu changes daily to the fresh produce the chef sources. There was a great selection to choose from. We both had the lamb. Perfectly cooked to out order and bend over backwards to accommodate my food intolerances. We finished with baked Camembert and bread and butter pudding in a cream and whiskey source. We left really full and happy.

We have dined here several times. Book in advance to secure. It’s a firm favourite Consistently high standards - food fantastic. Everything locally sourced, freshly prepared and cooked to perfection - a hidden gem. Family birthday Sunday lunch celebration - Whole hearted thumbs up from us all.

Very good service and meal beautiful

Lovely food really worth a visit ,staff really friendly ,would definitely recommend ,and would definatly go back again

cycled 13 miles to get there on a Saturday for lunch to find it closed.....smacks of someone not bothered or wants to make a village pub in to a house...good luck with that one ad the PP!!!! Oh and please let us know if you can be bothered to do food again.

We had heard good things about the Staffordshire Knot and we were not to be disappointed. The quality and range of the food is excellent all produced freshly onsite. Excellent starters including baked cheeses, mussels, mushroom in tarragon, top quality mains, steak, rack of lamb, an incredible steak pie and fish. Desserts took some traditional dishes and elevated them to new heights. Try the Bread and Butter Pudding with Whisky Cream ! A local bitter on tap as well as lager, cider and Guinness and a good selection of wine. For this quality of food in an atmospheric setting the prices are reasonable. Service was very good, friendly and very Covid secure. Cannot fault this restaurant at all. Phone ahead to check opening times and booking is essential, don't expect just to drop in and get a table as you are very likely to be disappointed. This is particularly necessary during Covid times when opening times and table availability are limited. Have already booked a return visit.

Nice country pub. Decent selection of beers, good atmosphere and good quality food.

We thoroughly enjoyed excellent, well prepared food in the charming setting of a traditional pub/restaurant. Our roast beef was beyond compare and extremely good value. Service was efficient and friendly. We are returning to The Staffordshire Knot Inn later in the week to enjoy an...

I rang to try and make a reservation for 2 people with a dog. Was asked what kind of dog, when she found out it was a golden retriever I was quickly told no because of the hair it would leave in pub. Disgusting service...

Do not judge a book by its cover or this somewhat isolated village pub from the outside. The meal we had was definitely in a class above most other offerings in the area. Sophisticated renderings of standard dishes and very good value. The lady chef...

Our first night dining out since lockdown Absolutely fabulous meal One of the few places where you can enjoy a really good meal The food is of excellent quality and extremely well presented

This pub is beautifully presented. Everything is freshly painted, the outside tables look pretty with their pots of lavender and inside, when we went, there was a real open fire to greet us on a cold and damp May Day. Covid rules are well adhered...

Food was very nice and a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended

First class service and great food.

Great menu, everything was fresh and was cooked to perfection. A real gem of a pub. I so hope pubs as good as this this survive over the coming months as places like this are harder and harder to find.

Our first visit to Derbyshire and found this gem! My wife and I had the chicken with brie together with beautifuly cooked fresh vegetables. The service from our host and owner was superb. Thanks again for a lovely meal.

Fantastic food. Highly recommend grandmas steak and ale pie. They have redesigned and have sufficient covid restrictions on place for peace of mind.

Had a great evening meal here, a great menu with excellent food well presented and great value for money If your looking for something a little different in the area try this pub

Husband and I booked a table for 6.45pm. On checking out drinks on offer my husband was dissapointed there was no beer on tap. It was available in bottles though. We were looking forward to the pie as it was rated very highly in reviews,...

We enjoyed a lovely supper here, cooked by the lady chef and owner and served by her young assistant at the bar. Delicious local rack of lamb and accompanying vegetables followed by Eton mess made a great meal. You may have to wait a little...

The pie from the specials board was the best pie we’ve ever had. Cosy atmosphere and lovely staff. Worth the trip for the chefs homemade pie!!

We were made so welcome at this pub and can’t thank the proprietor enough for her hospitality and fantastic cooking. What a great pub. If you’re in the area, check this place out.

Really good night, excellent service and very friendly staff made us feel very welcome

What an amazing find. Very high quality food, beautifully cooked and presented with great service and very reasonably priced. Will definitely eat here again next time we are in the area. Highly recommended.

A pub with an excellent food record has managed to maintain its standards .The host/chef obligingly allowed us to start a bit earlier which ensured thar we were the only clients in the restaurant .The imaginative menu was supplemented by number of interesting dishes of...

We’ve had a ride out into the country and wanted a meal. We called by chance at this pub as we were passing by. They were friendly and managed to fit us in. There was a menu choice plus Sunday roast which we decided on....

My friend and I were travelling around in our little camper van when we accidentally stumbled across this gem! I can't recommend this place enough and I will definitely be returning very soon. Great stay, beautiful setting, amazing food and fantastic hospitality. We were the only one's staying at the pub for the night and the landlady very kindly opened the toilets early in the morning for us and even made us a freshly brewed pot of coffee!

We came on Sunday for a late lunch, staggered bookings meant that social distance was stuck to. Staff wore visors and we were pleased with how clean it was. The meal was delicious and well presented. The toilets were also very clean, also with disinfectant spray supplied to clean the toilets before and after use. They followed all safety procedures for covid.If we come back to the area we would definitely visit again.Thank you

Wow, what a meal we had here. Two couples away camping in the peaks and luckily this pub was just down the road. Incredible food and a very interesting old building. Would highly recommend to all.

I visited the Knot Inn whilst on a break in Derbyshire. The food was wonderful - I had rack of lamb followed by chocolate tart. The lamb was pink and tender, potatoes creamy and well cooked veg. There are several places in the area which do ‘pub grub’, but this is good quality home cooked food. I just wish I lived locally so that I could visit more often.The pub has taken every precaution for social distancing, cleanliness and staggered bookings.I would thoroughly recommend here for food, location and pub style.

I have just got back from having the best Sunday roast ever. We've been quite a few times before but this was the first time since 'lockdown' lifted. It's certainly well prepared in regard to health and safety preparation with proper spacing, sanitisers, staff visors etc. I had the roast pork, my sister had the lamb and my 8 year old nephew had beef. We all said how great it was. I'm particular about sourcing my meat from a local butcher, but the meat here beats that. Definitely proper, local produce. All the vegetables were cooked just right and lovely gravy. We couldn't resist having dessert. Warm chocolate brownie and a chocolate tart with raspberry coulis - absolutely delicious. I will try and upload a photo if I can. I definitely recommend the Staffordshire Knot - best place for miles and miles.

We went for dinner at the lovely Staffordshire Knot and were not disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded amazing but we enjoyed the Duck in Cherry sauce and Rack of Lamb all served by the very busy but lovely Laura. Would definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I love this place: delicious food cooked from fresh by the landlady herself and served stylishly; super choice of dishes (especially in the current climate) and a friendly welcome. We ate here on 2 concurrent evenings and on both occasions were not disappointed. On our first evening we both opted for garlic mushrooms with cheese which came with freshly cooked warm crusty bread, followed by pork medallions over provencal vegetables and accomplice by crisp, fluffy roast potatoes and seasonal vegetable - both were superb. Our second evening we shared a fantastic baked Camembert then my husband enjoyed chicken roulade whilst I was equally impressed with crispy baked cod.This is by far the best place to eat in the region, offering cuisine a huge ‘cut- above’ standard pub food and at a very reasonable price. It is no surprise that we will be going back at the earliest opportunity. Be sure to book In advance if you want to guarantee a table - I’m not the only one to know how good this place is!

Excellent food. Visited 3 times in a week as much better than other 'scampi and chips' offerings locally. Accommodate allergy requirements very well and feels safe with good covid procedures in place.

Fantastic food and brilliant service. Chose this venue for a special family celebration and we were not disappointed. The meats were all cooked to perfection and the vegetarian options were imaginative and tasty. Totally recommend. Also a good safe system of booking and service in place for these difficult times

We enjoyed an excellent reunion dinner for 3 old school friends at this lovely meal. Rib eyed steak duck breast and medallions of pork cooked to perfection. Really friendly landlady and staff. I am not so sure many people appreciate that this popular pub is open again. So glad we went

Friendly pub and atmosphere, good food and beer at reasonable prices.

This is a wonderful traditional English pub! How pubs used to be, steeped in gorgeous character, open fire, flagstone floor, solid furniture... and a warm cheery welcome from the landlady. Less than 5 minutes from the Hartington road, with off road parking, in the tiny village of sheen surrounded by beautiful countryside - the Dove valley on one side, and the Manifold valley on the other.... blissful views! The menu was lovely, not the usual pub grub, well cooked and tasty - mine pork medallions with a port and fig sauce, there was also a great looking rack of lamb and a couple of different vegetarian options. This pub is off the main tourist trail and really worth seeking out for a traditional country pub experience. We were made to feel very much at home, had a very memorable time and will certainly be back.

Lovely staff. Great entertainment. Good food

Lovely cozy pub good beer and lovely food

Hospitality superb food really good and excellent value
