The Blind Bull in Derbyshire Dales

We walked almost 3 hours to this pub as part of the 'perfect pub walks' trek and, unfortunately, then found they were fully booked for food! They did manage to fit us in for Sunday lunch later the next day, and we had a beer flight (I love these, by the way) and roast beef and coffee and chocolate dessert. Really nice food, friendly staff and lovely building.

Wow! I would give this place 6 stars out of 5 if I could; we stayed there last night, had dinner and then breakfast this morning. It is outstanding in every way. Someone in the kitchen knows their business seriously well; both meals were truly excellent, simple, but perfectly executed. The room was large, beautiful, furnished to a very high standard and very comfortable and the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Finally, the location too is fabulous and it's great value for the quality. Can't wait to go back.

After friends recommending the food I tried to book a two night stay on their website for hubby’s birthday. I couldn’t so booked over the phone, lady explained website not updated since Christmas break. The Barn accommodation was recommended & I was advised of their dinner, bed & breakfast offer on Thursday nights & given a price for our 2 night stay, I also booked dinner as an extra for Friday evening. Dates & price confirmed on email. Warm, friendly welcome by staff on arrival, accommodation was lovely & spacious. Dinner menu was interesting, food was presented well & all very tasty. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with a good menu choices & lovely pastries that were delicious & a nice extra touch. All the staff we met were friendly & helpful and the location is fantastic particularly if you like walking. When we came to check out on Saturday, we were charged £50 over & above price confirmed on email. I queried it and was told there was a mistake on the. confirmation. I emailed when we got home and was advised again it was a mistake on their confirmation. I said I was disappointed I wasn’t advised of their error & that it was simply added to the bill without any explanation. This was despite me speaking to them the day before our arrival plus they had opportunity to mention on check in. I then received an email from owner apologising & advising they don’t normally offer the dinner, bed & breakfast deal with the barn & offered a 10% discount on our next meal. I emailed back saying I understand mistakes happen in all businesses but it’s how mistakes are rectified that’s important. He hasn’t replied so emailed again saying I was disappointed & didn’t think their offer was fair under the circumstances. Whilst we had a lovely stay the additional cost had left a sour taste so I would still leave a good review but would mention the mistake & additional cost.

Have visited a few times now and have consistently been impressed by the food. It’s a really high quality without feeling overly fussy and has a good variety with some interesting options. Lovely to go and sit by the fire afterwards with a drink. Have found myself planning walks in the area just so we can stop in afterwards. Only slight comment was the temperature sat in the glazed lean to area which was a bit chilly on a cold day.

We’re big fans of the Blind Bull and probably come 4 -5 times per year, unfortunately our last visit was annoying. Having been a couple of times before Christmas it was great to see a mystery envelope voucher for visits in the new year, we love supporting local businesses and everyone knows Feb can be tough for hospitality so off we go as a 4. Food was exceptional as always but disappointed by the amount of Lamb on the main, 2 dice size chunks probably not amounting to 80g of protein for £28.50 wasn’t great others had the pork that was excellent and had 4 times the meat. Big disappointment came at the end when we handed over our red voucher envelope to be told can’t use that at the weekend, this wasn’t communicated at the time. Our server said who issued it and we said we think it was you, to be snapped back I definitely told you at the time and the terms are on the card inside! Inside a sealed envelope that says “do not open” We also have a colleague who was planning to come and use it Sunday so they also didn’t get the message. I’m sure there have been others. So what was probably a 10% code inside so £22 off has left a bad taste so we’ll put our 4-5 visits elsewhere in the peak this year. Polite message please communicate the T&C’s we would have come on a Friday Again place is great and food quality outstanding.

Lovely location, but food was a little disappointing. We went for a Sunday roast, cauliflower cheese was lovely but roast potatoes were awful, some of the worst we’ve had, tasted days old and could barely cut into them! Lamb was okay and rest of veg fine but for the price really expected the food to be better. Lovely chicken wings and service was nice!

Had dinner, 2 breakfasts and stayed for 2 nights, pretty faultless throughout. Somewhat unusual take on breakfasts with cakes with preserve and marmalade , rather than toast . Not a cake fan at any time of the day. Full English also curious concoction... in parts , but delicious nontheless , Evening meal very tasty , and worthy of 99/ 100. Room very very nice but very hot (temperature) even with heat switched off. Velux windows x 3 need device to open (long stick) , and one of the wall windows impossible to open with outside temp only 1 deg C , found it difficult to sleep . Glad it's not summer phewwwww. Great staff , who all seemed genuinley interested in delivering perfection.

What a wonderful find! The food was outstanding and the service was faultless, we were seated upstairs with a view of the kitchen. Was great being in the hustle and bustle of a busy kitchen! Will be back.

Booked 5 weeks ago for a birthday and wedding anniversary celebration with my wife. An early evening reservation saw us enter a deserted restaurant , no welcome just a curt "Have you booked" We were taken out of the main restaurant up the steep back stairs to a small table at the head of these and directly opposite the kitchen access with all the noise etc and no view or privacy. At our refusal to accept this we were told "it was the system" and we were taken down stairs and shown the "snug" a small space for drinkers again out of the main restaurant. My wife was shouted at by the bar lady when she wandered back and told "you are in the corner behind the fire". It is clear that now there is hotel accommodation that the residents have preference at busy times. It is also evident that previous objections by others to being corralled away have not been heeded. We deplore the ageist comment " that old couple" as though we were unreasonable because of age. As local we thought we were supporting local business. The Blind Bull has looked beyond its roots. We did not eat and left. Celebrity comes with the taint of arrogance.

A very cosy pub where we received a warm welcome. Exceptional food beautifully presented. Great service. Would recommend booking early as this a very popular place. Well will definitely be eating here again

Wow the accomodation here is fabulous very spacious, We stayed in old spot in the piggery and loved it , cosy and warm, bed comfy , twin showers, front garden area with gate would be great in the summer especially if guests have a dog. Staff were lovely and welcoming, it had snowed heavy so we didn't venture out for evening meal for fear if getting snowed in ...I gave four stars because the food for evening meal was not great and extortionate in price. I did mention it to the waitress but was told that every one has different tastes and the chef was too busy to speak to us 😕 all said the breakfast was fab served by the lovely Jane bond. We definitely will visit again but will eat elsewhere in the evening, I would have given 5 stars if the food was ok . All in all highly recommended

What a fabulous pub! I wish it was our local! The food is absolutely fantastic, there's some great cask ales and wines and the service is great too. There's a choice of smaller plates or slightly larger ones. Everything we had was just delicious. I would recommend anyone in the vicinity to try it. We met up with family and had a walk afterwards. It's not an all-day service though, so check dining times and book beforehand.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Excellent service and choice on the menu. Had the pork chop with prunes. Cooked to perfection and very tasty. Treacle tart for after. Lovely

What a gem of a fabulous village pub restaurant. Friendly welcome, excellent delicious food, great value for money and their own brewed beer. What’s not to like, it was perfect for our after walk lunch. One to note there are several EV charging points in the car park!

We were really looking forward to eating here again, as we had a great meal there last year. It is a treat to go there as it is very expensive compared to other pubs nearby. Unfortunately, we were disappointed this time. Two of our party of four are vegetarians, so imagine our disappointment when the only vegetarian main was already finished by the time we arrived, 7.30! How is that possible? I don't think that is acceptable. There was no apology either, so they just had to have starters and a plate of vegetables. Not good enough for a place that obviously prides itself on its fine dining. I doubt we will go there again.

My Wife and I enjoyed a couple of midweek nights in one of the external converted out houses (Old Piggeries) The room was warm well furnished but as a recent build needed a bit of refining ie bathroom door latch has a razor sharp edge causing a cut to my arm. External steps to garden and road are dangerously high for old codgers like us. The TV has access to hundreds of cheap internet streamed dross but no home grown mainstream BBC, ITV & UK content. I could not find any radio, local or national included in the TV menu . The food is very good with lots of well thought out ideas . Service is fine with everyone trying hard to please. All in all we would love to return when the H & S work has been done and the TV less international. I sincerely hope these comments help to make a good venue even better. Thanks to all for a pleasant two days.

I was in the Peak District on a walking break and booked an evening meal on the recommendation of a friend. I visited early in the evening on a Wednesday. The building has been tastefully refurbished while retaining the character of the original. I was pleased to see they had draught beer on tap and offered a 'flight' of beer, enabling you to sample all three. I was seated upstairs. The service throughout was exemplary—just the right balance of friendliness and professional courtesy. The food was outstanding, and all my courses were excellent. I even had the unexpected pleasure of chatting with the chef, who overheard a question of mine to the staff. I will certainly return next time I'm in the Peaks. Highly recommended.

Well worth a trip off the beaten path, this lovely gastro pub, sat near the window with views over the lambs in the next field, great service, and the food… well it was all delicious. I can highly commend the whipped feta cheese starter. It looked so pretty and tasted amazing, a brilliant fusion of flavours. I had the beef bavette for my main with additional green beans. The beans tasted as if they had just been picked and were perfectly cooked, the triple cooked chips are the best I have tasted and the beef melted in my mouth. The baked cheesecake with strawberries finished the meal off perfectly but I did envy my husband’s chocolate mousse because that was amazing. Husband had the pork and said it was great, sister had the grouse the carrot cake with cheese which she pronounced delicious He enjoyed the local ale available and I liked the wine ( a lot) We will definitely come here again

Exciting menu, great pub, relaxed vibe, impressive food, fantastic service. My husband and I chose to have a date night out here as a break from the kids and were delighted with our choice! My husband is very difficult to please so this was a massive win!

We were at the Blind Bull on a very wet August lunchtime but still the views from the windows were lovely and it is a very relaxing and welcoming ambience to meet with friends. Wine by the carafe was good quality and reasonably priced. The food needs a little improvement in my view. I had the pork chop and chips. The chips were excellent - best I have had in a long time. But the pork chop had not been trimmed and had slightly more fat on it. It would have benefited from slightly more cooking particular as it was fatty. Coffee was good quality

En vacances dans le Peak District, ce lieu nous a été recommandé par la propriétaire du cottage dans lequel nous avons séjourné. Tout d’abord, l’endroit est magique! Le bâtiment est situé à l’écart et la vue de la salle est superbe. Et puis il y a le repas: un choix de vins excellent et des plats étonnants et superbement bien cuisinés. Nous avons tout aimé et nous sommes d’ailleurs retournés une deuxième fois pour essayer d’autres plats de la carte qui change très souvent en fonction des arrivages et des saisons. Je finirais par le service très professionnel, souriant et serviable. Je recommande à 100%!

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 .

Gorgeous location and building. Stunning food and service to match. Every course from amuse bouche to petit four was well balanced and beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were knowledgable and attentive, polite and engaged.

Wow what an amazing meal! After a long days hike in the peaks we booked an evening meal and took the dog. As soon as you walk in the feel is warm and welcoming. 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. Our waitress was more than helpful and lovely and chatty. We had a great and can’t wait to go back!

There is so much pleasure experiencing perfect food in relaxed gorgeous surroundings with perfect service. The most delicious dinner in a stunning location with a great chefs table on the upper floor overseeing the beautiful bar. The entire dinner was yummy and OMG the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream the best ever !!

What a fabulous place. Amazing view’s amazing front of house staff DOG friendly. Bloody fantastic food! One of the best places I have eaten!

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!

Well we hafd a very warm welcome , Charlotte even carried our dogs teddy to the barn where we were staying ..we were well looked after during our stay by all .. the lady serving breakfast was a delight too .The food is exceptional, the Monkfish was so delicious, the desert too ..The barn was very warm & the bed so comfortable, shower & toiletries all fabulous.. the beers left for us was a nice touch. We were so lucky with the weather too as its in a beautiful part of the county ..

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.

Very good food. Had our own birthday cake and the charge was £40 for eating it in the restaurant so ate it at home instead. Excessive considering what we had already spent in the restaurant.

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

Everything the perfect pub should be, Incredible food, great beers, superb team. We had an amazing couple of nights and can’t wait to go back.

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.

Food was amazing, lots of carefully thought about drinks in a historic building. Owners have done a great job in restoring and building something special.

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.

As the title suggests you seriously need to stay here! In all the places I have stayed globally this by far has to be one of the best. The accommodation is superb, the food in the restaurant is exquisite, superbly presented and extremely flavoursome, staff are very attentive and meet your every need. You’re missing out in life if you don’t pay this place a visit!

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.

Stayed 3 nights & would happily have stayed longer! Fabulous hospitality, all of the staff are engaged & proud to be in the team and part of the success story. Newly refurbed rooms in a simple, elegant, low key, vibe yet top quality boutique style, super comfy beds and quality furnishings. Lovely ambience in the bar and dining area, great service, locally sourced ingredients prepared with imagination, skill and care by a highly talented kitchen. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and very much hope to return!

We stayed a night on our way to the Lake District. The room having been recently renovated was just lovely. We opted for bar snacks and these were all delicious. The breakfast was excellent with freshly baked raspberry muffins. Staff friendly and relaxed. Wonderful scenery. 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.

I had the beef and it literally melted in my mouth. Good selection of vegetables but if you have a large appetite order a side dish too. Excellent dessert selection; just a few choices but all done well. Great venue, great staff.

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

Our experience of the Bull this time was not as good; though the actual cooking was excellent as ever. We had a bar menu only, which had an unappealing choice for us. I don't eat meat, and two of the fish dishes had meat as...

Practically perfect Sunday lunch for our anniversary - beautiful food and attentive & knowledgeable service from start to finish. Monkfish main was excellent & the carrot cake was the best I’ve ever had. So great to have such a lovely spot almost on our doorstep,...

What a great evening. The food is delicious, the menu is brilliantly varied and the staff are lovely. Good wine and drinks options, and very comfortable interior. Worth the journey!

OK so we had a misunderstanding yesterday. So we didn’t get to eat, but still a lovely pub and the young lady who served us was brilliant. We will be back soon.

This outlet provides expensive high quality food and service Friday through Sunday night but be aware after breakfast Monday the place is abandoned by the owners and staff and you are unaware that you are left in air BnB situation miles from anywhere with challenging...

Original menu, unique country pub experience, not your normal country pub menu. The desserts are to die for!!! Highly recommend.

First time visiting. Had a couple of drinks and a scotch egg by the fire, the best scotch egg ever!!!! Lovely staff and dog friendly. My dog was very chilled on the sofa .

Had a wonderful roast dinner, but what kind of magic did they put in that bread and butter pudding it was sublime. Overall sensational 💥

Amazing sunday roast with spectacular views to the countryside hills. Service excellent and the interior was gorgeous and cosy.

Recently paid a visit to this restaurant and had an excellent experience. This is a bit of a hidden gem. You would never just come across the restaurant on your travels. Tucked away in the very small village of Little Hucklow, off the beaten track....

Sunday lunch was amazing, best I've ever had. Roast beef with trimmings that were all brilliantly cooked and presented. Staff were attentive and perfect in every way. Highly recommended.

Fabulous evening - the food was exceptional - scotch egg, cauliflower soup, monkfish and mutton- and the service was wonderful. We will definitely be back - highly recommend !

Stunning location, really interesting and tasty menu with local ingredients, very friendly team and beautifully refurbished accommodation. Definitely recommended.

We stayed 4 nights bed and breakfast in The Barn, a 1-bed holiday cottage with good kitchen bathroom and living room. Bedroom is up 2 steps at opposite end of the premises to the bathroom. Small grass garden also up steps, enclosed in tall fencing...

We really liked the idea of local and seasonal ingredients and liked how the place had been brought back to life. Dogs very welcome which was great. Lovely building, nicely done up. Vegan options and all the puddings are vegetarian as standard. The food was...

Had high expectations owing to the price and photos I had seen in reviews. Staff were welcoming and friendly, the place is genuinely dog friendly, and the inn itself is decorated in a high end country gastro-pub, yet relaxed, style; can’t fault that. It’s a...
