Exceptional from start to finish, thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff were attentive and polite. The food was delicious and extremely well presented. We sat downstairs as we had a dog with us and the seating area was bright and airy. Will certainly be recommending The Blind Bull to our friends and family should they visit the area and if we come back on a trip in the future we will definitely be visiting again! 5 Stars! Thank you. (Be sure to pre-book a table to avoid disappointment!)

The location is fabulous. We stayed in the piggery and the room was lovely! The food however is extortionately priced for what you get! Breakfast portion was so small we went to another place to eat afterwards! They had run out of mushrooms, no brown sauce or red sauce but for the price we paid they should have been there! I would stay again for the room but not the food!!

Fantastic food - cannot do it justice on this review. We used to eat here weekly 20 plus years ago and tonight we finally returned after anticipating a visit since the present team opened four years ago! The food was so sublime- I am the most picky person ever- and also own a pub, a bistro, a cafe and ice cream parlour so take a bit of pleasing- but oh my goodness the food here is what the entire Peak District and greater Sheffield area has been waiting for! Don’t get me wrong the renovation is well thought out and interior design beautifully managed, the team are very professional but the food is what you need to really come for- it’s to die for.

Dinner The Blind Bull for a chef collaboration with Chef Thom Bateman . This gastropub has been on our list for quite a while to visit.When we heard Thom was going to be a guest chef,it was the excuse we needed to go. That is not taking away from their own talented Chef Luke Hawkins. Who runs this multi award winning pub. We managed to get a last minute booking. It's about an hour journey for us to get there, navigating the inevitable pot holes. Not only on the main roads, but the little winding country roads which lead to this foodie destination. On arrival we were seated in the snug,which is like a bit of an overflow area from the main restaurant. We were served a glass of Silver Reign English Sparkling Wine, whilst we had a first look at the menu. A tasting menu comprising of a couple of snacks with wild garlic brioche & beef dripping butter. The starter Cheese & Beetroot-Brick Tartlet, Staffordshire Cheese Custard, Black Garlic Apple Ketchup, Crispy Cabbage. For us, this was the star of the show. It was absolutely delicious and very moorish. The fish course was a nice little piece of Wild Seabass with Confit Isle of Wight tomatoes, brown crab butter sauce. The main was served in two halfs. The first being a very tasty Ox Tongue Borderlaise, Ox Cheek "Pie". Second half, BBQ Dunwood Farm Sirloin, yeasted cauliflower puree, pickled cauliflower stalks, asparagus, wild garlic. A Pre Dessert, Caramelised pecan cake, Birch Sap Ice cream, probaly needed a bit more ice cream. Dessert was Caramelised Woodruff Panna Cotta, rhubarb, rhubarb sorbet, salcombe blonde,chocolate crisp, rosemary tuille. To finish was a delightful Caramel & Cardamom Doughnut. It was lovely to see Thom again, as we normally see him at his own restaurant The Flintlock at Cheddleton .

It was hard to pick from the menu as everything sounded so tasty. We weren’t disappointed with our food it was outstanding and we thought very reasonably priced.

Easily accessible with lots of parking. The food is superb and the ambience great downstairs. Good value menu makes it easy to budget! Do not miss the Soda Bread starter so much nicer than sourdough. We had the bavette wonderful and the burger exquisite in its brown form. Puddings were very tempting. Interesting wine list but caution kept us off it. This is pub food at its best and aspiring to be even better!

We thought we'd try here for lunch as we were passing. On arrival it looks very nice, says dog/family friendly but it clearly isn't. We were not greeted warmly, waitress opened with the warm welcome of "Have you booked" it's worth noting it was half empty. I asked if we needed to and she replied bluntly "preferably". She said she would check with chef but in reality we wouldn't stay after this as clearly we weren't welcome. We took our little boy to another pub and were made very welcome . I really don't understand the lack of hospitable greetings from stern staff. It's not difficult to be friendly.

Mixed review as some great things but equally some annoying things. We booked a meal for 4pm on Mothers Day and a few things had run out including champagne so we ordered a bottle of sparkling wine which was lovely but an extra £20, this was not put in a wine holder but on the table next to us and then a chair behind me once the the table was taken! Couldn’t fault the waitress who was lovely and kept topping up our glasses. Meal was good, cauliflower cheese outstanding but side dish of kale cold. The barn is stunning but check in on the room is 4pm and check out 10am which is 2 hours less than most places so felt less value for money. Disappointing continental breakfast - no choice available but given cold food which included blueberry muffins, soda bread and chopped mango and grapefruit which is definitely not a substitute for a full cooked breakfast when the room rate isn’t reduced.

We were disappointed in a number of ways on this return visit. All bookings are now online, and you have to specify if you want to sit upstairs. We didn't and were on one of the tables for 2 just by the entrance, which was not quite warm enough. The menu looked interesting, but we had to ask for a few explanations. The food was well presented, but a bit heavy on the butter (Grenoblais sauce) and the portions were not overly generous or memorable for the price. Service was OK. Overall, the standard didn't live up to the expectation we had for a special evening out and was much less enjoyable and memorable than previous visits. Other local reviewers have also criticised consistency of standards.

Popped in for lunch Saturday (yesterday at 12 noon ) large varied menu for light lunch. Chose the bavette of steak with greens and chips. The bavette was cooked to perfection in a lovely herb sauce served with chips and I chose the seasonal greens also. Promptly and Perfectly cooked, it was excellent. Thank you chef

I booked a table online for the Melchiors to dine on 14 February, mentioning in the “dietary requirements” section of the online form that one of us was a vegetarian. Some days later I received a voicemail message from the restaurant that there would be no vegetarian food on that day so we would have to eat steak or cancel. This was the first time a restaurant anywhere in the world had told me that it would not cater for a vegetarian. I called back to cancel. Whilst doing so, I was told that one vegetarian dish could be managed, though vegetarian food would not be the focus on that evening. I am aware that it is a relatively small restaurant and didn’t want to put the chef to any trouble, so went ahead with cancelling. I defend the right of restaurants to serve whomever they wish as long as there is no unlawful discrimination. There are plenty of excellent restaurants locally, nationally and internationally where vegetarians are welcome and well catered for. I had no difficultly in finding an alternative for that evening.

Spent two nights here between Christmas and New Year. Accommodation (across the road in converted piggery) was warm and luxurious with a large comfy bed, claw-foot bath, coffee maker, quality toiletries and ample space and furnishings. The pub was a wonderful refuge from the wet and windy weather, featuring a log fire, real ales and fabulous food (would highly recommend the gnocchi especially). Just wish the portions had been a bit more generous. Breakfast was also delicious, including home-made muffins and (in my case) an extremely tasty scrambled eggs on toast with oyster mushrooms. Only real negative was being charged a compulsory £21 tip on departure. I certainly didn’t begrudge the friendly, hard-working staff, who were wonderful, and I had indeed been planning to leave a gratuity. However, I do think these things should be voluntary, not least because there is always a slight uncertainty in my mind in these situations as to whether the total amount actually goes to the staff on top of their wages.

How anyone can give this place a terrible rating just goes to prove that some people’s tastebuds are only used to Wetherspoons. Every aspect of our visit was nothing but amazing. The food and the service were second to none. We sat by the kitchen, which didn’t smell of fish, and all of us complimented on the slick service. After being told I’d be in for the best Sunday dinner ever, I have to admit it really was! See you again soon, thank you

Visited the blind bull for my sister’s birthday and are so pleased we did. The ambience is lovely and definitely feels like a special occasion venue without being too pretentious - we took my sisters children and they were made to feel welcome. We were aware that there was no children’s menu beforehand which was helpful so we could plan what they might eat from the main menu. The staff were really attentive and knew the answers to all our questions! The menu is obscure but we all found something we liked and the smallish menu pushed us to try food we might not normally order - for the better! Highly recommend.

This was our third visit to the Blind Bull, though our first on a Sunday. We had a phenomenal Sunday dinner; I had the beef and my wife had the pork belly. The quality of the produce is exceptional, flavours are well balanced and the portions are generous. We’ve sampled many sunday roasts in the Peaks and this was the finest yet! Service was impeccable and attentive. We love the Blind Bull. It’s not pretentious, just beautiful food.

We phoned up in advance to make a booking at the blind bull. We made it clear on the phone our booking was for 2 adults and 1 child. We were not made aware on the phone that there was no children menu. When we arrived they let us know there was no children’s menu but the lady said they could adapt dishes and make dishes smaller off the main menu to accommodate for children. As our child was only 4 we asked if the cod dish could be adapted to be plain cod and some chips. The lady then told us none of the dishes could be changed and they were only as they are advertised. My partner asked her to go and ask the chef because surely if dishes were fresh it wouldn’t be an issue to pan fry some cod and add some chips to the plate. She returned and said that this could not be done as then they would have to charge less for the dish! To our utter surprise that they were willing to charge £30 ish for a child’s dish is disgusting but we still at this point said we would have still paid the money we just wanted something that my daughter would eat. When we said we would still pay the full money suddenly she changed and said they could change the dish. Clearly this place is all about the money coming in and not offering good experiences for people. We walked out and went down the road to the anchor and had a lovely experience from start to finish. We will not be returning

Went for Sunday lunch today as a special treat. We were visiting our daughter who lives nearby. We are actually from Kent. This place was amazing ! Sunday roast was so tasty and lots of it. The desserts were also very tasty. I had the...

We had an amazing stay, the whole place - rooms, food and the team were incredible. The atmosphere was great, we had a really fun time and couldn't recommend it more highly. Great cocktails and wine list too - we will definitely go back.

Such a shame, we visited in January after a walk and we had the most amazing Sunday dinner full of flavour and interesting treats like roasted beats and a delicious gravy. We usually avoid Sunday dinners because they’re fairly average and can do better at...

Never was the phrase "hidden gem" more appropriate. Sky high standards all round. Food heading towards Michelin star level and excellent service from a young team. The pub has been beautifully restored and furnished. Lovely outdoor area, light and airy dining room. We will be...

I decided to book the private dining room (for 8 people max) and spent some time with Raab sorting out the food a few weeks in advance. The evening finally arrived last night. There were lovely ‘amuse bouche’ and the starters were delicious but the...

I was staying in Castleton which is very busy in season, very touristic and the local eateries in the town were aimed squarely at this market, heaving and well, to be honest, adequate at best. So when I tripped over this delightful place by accident,...

Pleasant pub in the middle of nowhere but popular with walkers. Has luxury accommodation and very modern bistro type deco. The food is very good, we had various snacks which were nice, kedgeree eggs, croquettes etc. The starters were also nice, particularly the hot and...

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We'd eaten here once before, which was Sunday Lunch. We'd always planed to go back and try the normal menu, and when we saw they had a collaboration with the Pack Horse in Hayfield we booked in straight away, not just for...

What a wonderful wee spot! We booked a table not realising it was Veggie Night but even as self-confessed carnivores we needn’t have worried. Beautiful food - the wild garlic amuse bouche was a revelation! Big love for the scotch eggs too but to be...

We visit often. Sometimes to eat, sometimes just for the bar. Always friendly accommodating service by staff. Great food, wine and beer. Fantastic place and so much better than it was before the renovation. Thoroughly recommended!

The food was superb but…. Waiting staff lacked confidence and finesse.As my wife says - needs a woman to pull it together. We booked early but weren’t offered upstairs or downstairs - would prefer upstairs with hindsight. There is a large wood burner - it...

First visit, recommended by a friend - and not disappointed. A fairly new venture so got feeling staff were still coming to terms with things - but did so very well. Friendly and attentive. The menu is not extensive, but what we had was excellent....

Recently visited with my wife whilst on holiday and through a recommendation. A beautiful pub and very friendly staff. The food was absolutely sensational, the chips are to die for and we both agreed the best we’ve ever had. I can’t recommend the Blind Bull...

We visited this gastropub twice during our week away in Castleton. Tucked away in Little Hucklow, the inn has been refurbished sympathetically and the food is to die for! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. Vegetarian Monday well worth trying and every...

As you approach the Blind Bull, it's really impressive, having been restored with great sympathy. It looks and is very classy. The interior is just as pleasing, with huge choice of situations to dine. Terrace, conservatory, in the bustle of the inn, or upstairs on...

This pub/restaurant is in a wonderful location and a very friendly welcome awaits you from the efficient waitresses. A log fire on a cold day adds to the warm atmosphere. The pub has been tastefully converted at some expense and clearly has aspirations. I should...
