The Farmyard Inn in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely friendly staff. Ate here twice while staying in the village. Food excellent. Cosy atmosphere with warming open fire . Staff made us feel very special on our wedding anniversary. Would highly recommend.

We stayed here with our Motorhome overnight. The staff are so friendly and the food amazing. Thank you for letting us stay we will definitely be back.

Popped in for an evening meal after checking on the phone they had a choice of vegetarian meals as I hadn’t seen them on their online menu. Had a warm welcome when we turned up and the food was excellent. This was not your normal pub grub but restaurant quality.

Brilliant bar staff brilliant waiting on staff lovely atmosphere very welcoming will be definitely visiting again soon and to see Marley!!!

We were on holiday and went here because of the reviews. Ordered specials and it was clear that the Chef was very experienced and knew exactly what he was doing. After chatting to the owner he confirmed that the Chef was indeed michelin standard. We were in the Peak District for a week and I can honestly say that it was the best meal we had during our stay....and don't get me wrong, we had some good food in other establishments. The owner was really friendly as was his staff. The atmosphere was good throughout. When we are back into the area , this is definitely one place we will go to again.

Found this place via fb group for camping over night in camper. If you buy food in the pub you stay for free in the camper. The pub is absolutely amazing and the food was even better. After selecting meals all were incredible. Definitely wish I had the pie but was equally as happy with the steak. Definitely going back. Staff can’t do enough for you. Thank you Beth and of course little Marley 😘

Called in on the off chance of a Sunday lunch, beautiful roast , lovely staff and the beer was spot on, proper local pub Will be back!!

Called for lunch whilst walking in the area and found the pub very cosy and welcoming. Good beers on offer and whilst the food menu was limited, the food on offer was very good, especially my Meat Pie, Chips & Veg. If only all pubs served chips that good. A big thank you to all the team.

Lovely meal for two this evening. I had the sea bass and my partner had the beef cheek, delicious! Couldn’t fault the service either. Beautiful pub with lots of character. They also allow campervans to stop over for the night which is handy if you’re exploring the Peak District, only 10 mins from Bakewell 👌

Well what can I say. This place is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The pub it's self is really well kept and a fantastic beer garden. Now to the good part... The Food!! We had the pie and beef cheek. I have never had such a succulent melt in the mouth cut of beef in my life. The chief must have been stolen from the Ritz because this food was mind and taste bud blowing. A definite must if you love a relax ,warm and welcoming atmosphere and Michelin level food

Called in for lunch after a long walk. Lovely front of house service, and few things missing off the menu which was a shame. We would have both had fish and chips but the table next door has ordered last one… shame as it looked amazing! Beef Blade and Pork Tenderloin were both well cooked and tasty. Would definitely recommend

Stayed a couple of nights in our motorhome. Lovely location, good food and friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Would recommend.

Sunday lunch.....we'll we ordered it Sunday really slow over an hour to arrive ...With no concern or explanation from staff. Not busy.

Stayed the night with friends, lovely welcome, comfortable rooms with great shower, Food was fantastic in the evening, as was the service. Great find, would highly recommend.

Over night stay in this lovely Peak District pub. Lovely location in a lovely village. Stayed in the hotel and had dinner, all really good.

We have been lucky enough to eat at a lot of nice places and we underestimated The farmhouse. We were hoping for nice pub grub but got outstanding wholesome quality food. The blade of beef with horseradish mash was outstanding, beef melted in mouth and even the veg was perfectly cooked. My daughter had a portion of cheesy chips and considered them life changing 🤣🤣 However, even if the food had been average we would still come back here for the amazing management and staff. All are very hard working and busy but they still have the time to make you feel 100% welcome. Friendliest and nicest people we have met in a very long time. Thank you for topping off our already amazing day here- what you do for visitors is amazing. We look forward to returning and please keep hold of your chef and team!! Xx

Stopped the night in our van flat carpark, Went into pub friendly atmosphere lovely cozy pub open fire ,beams,clean , Ordered our drinks really nice staff nothing too much trouble, Booked in already booked a table for night Great menu ,every diet needs catered for , Perfect food ,great presentation , Prices not out of the way , recommend, DOG FRIENDLY

Fab fab fab place. Lovely staff. Lovely pub.. Fòod just amazing. Reasonably priced. Not ypir average pub grub. Ate here both nights. Faultless. We will come back.

We were here for a couple of nights and booked a table for dinner. We had popped along to see where the bar was and decided to go in for a drink. The people and staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. On our return in the evening we both went for the homemade curry and weren't dissappointed, it was delicious. Would definately recommend and would go back ourselves if visiting here again.

Came for lunch for my wife's birthday after walking in the area, food was great, all had different meals and all well cooked and presented. Beers were very good, shame couldn't stop for a couple more. Landlord and Landlady very friendly and would definitely return. Shame not a pub like this in my village! Recommended.

I booked a twin room a few weeks before a visit which was the culmionation of a two day 60 km walk with my son including a night's camping. We intended to recover in a nice room and enjoy a big supper before returning to London the next day. On arrival we were told of a booking confusion which they tried to justify as a repeat occurence as they had also booked all their rooms to one touring group. No room was available for us, although they did say they might be able to arrange a bed in a nearby youth hostel which had no restarurant, clearly an inadequate replacement. They susbsequently claimed they had entered my booking for the week after, certainly not a mistake on my part as I had a long standing arrangement the following weekend. This was incredibly disappointing, ruining the end of a fun trip with my son and leaving us a 3 hour drive home after a second day of 10 hour walks! The place looked nice but ultimately a dreadful experience.

Pubs don't get better than this! We stayed in a cottage in Youlgrave for a week and kept coming back to The Farmyard Inn for dinner. Firstly, the staff are so friendly. From the moment we walked in we received a warm welcome, especially by Sammy, Joe and Charlie. It felt like a lovely mix of locals and visitors to the area. The food was all gorgeous and a great choice with tasty veggie options. Our dogs loved it too - you won't find a more dog friendly pub. We are just sorry we had to leave and that this isn't our local pub (and our local is great so that is saying something!!). Thanks to everyone - can't wait to visit again and eat here.

We visited today with friends for lunch after a long walk. The reception from the staff was so friendly and welcoming and they accommodated all 8 of us and 4 dogs without any issue. The food was fantastic, the Sunday lunch was first class. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic atmosphere and good service. Owners very accommodating, food and drink very nice, we stopped over night to enjoy the disco

Absolutely blown away, wonderful food and rooms - had such a great friendly welcome. We had such a good weekend. We will be back!

We visited after a lovely walk in Derbyshire. We had a really warm welcome when we arrived and the landlady had moved us to a quieter area. Such a friendly place. Our food was delicious. We had the pie and burger. My husband also had...

The most welcoming, friendly, beautiful public house. Food was beyond superb. The hosts so attentive and made us feel welcome and well looked after throughout. An absolute 10/10 experience. By far best pub in the village. We came back and will come again! In summary,...

We stayed at the Farmyard Inn for one night while walking around the area with our dog (Reggie). We always say our Reggie looks like a highland cow so the 'cow shed' room it had to be!! The room was lovely, absolutely perfect for our...

Lovely friendly pub, enjoyed sandwiches, with a great salad, and nice chunky chips. Plus a decent pint and glass of wine. Looking forward to coming back, thanks.

We stayed at this lovely traditional pub last night. The staff was really friendly and welcoming, the landlady Sammy made us feel like one of the locals so nice and friendly, Everyone loved our dog Rosy and she had loads of cuddles and kisses off...

Nice meal and friendly staff in bar but room we had for the night had grey & black mould spreading across the ceiling & in 2 corners of the room. Should not have been let out in this state. We spoke to 2 members of...

Visited for a meal recently as a group of 4. The food here is lovely (when it arrives) however the staff, service and communication is poor. During our visit I had to wait 30 minutes for a second pint of beer which the bar staff...

I stayed here at the end of a long, cold wet day. It was just what I needed. It’s warm cosy, comfortable and friendly. The bar was welcoming and the food was great. I’ll stay again.

Traditional country pub serving excellent food. Great service. Friendly. Wonderful atmosphere. Cost log fire. Dogs and children welcome.

First time visiting the Farmyard Inn and have to say we were very impressed. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Roaring fire going which was just lovely on a chilly wet day. The food was outstanding! Visited 3 days ago and I am still...

Excellent food lovely place perfect host's couldn't be better dog friendly good selection of food and drink

As in the title, often you can walk into a local pub and feel like an outsider but not here. Management / staff immediately make you feel welcome, the local residents are friendly and it really feels like a proper bar Food although not extensive...

Booked a table (on 5th October) for dinner on Sat 7th October at 7pm. The pub itself is lovely but my issue is with the communication from the staff. When we arrived, the pub was very busy (not a problem, it's good that they are...

Booked table for 1st October 7pm. (on 24Sept). Arrived to find whole place shut with handwritten notice "closed until 5 th Oct". Hadn't bothered to let us know. Other Youlgrave pubs already stopped serving on a Sunday evening. Thankfully drove to Lathkill hotel before their...

Comfortable clean rooms. Paid for breakfast however. No breakfast at all appeared. Owners didn't respond at all when I asked for a refund.

Absolutely brilliant place, couldn't recommend it enough!! the staff here go out there way to make your time there brilliant and one to remember! a particular staff member who stood out in particular was Louise , so kind and couldn't do enough for us! will definitely be going back 10/10!!!

I stayed for 2 nights at this place. The staff are second to none, food is amazing and you get a proper size dinner. All the locals are friendly and it’s in such a beautiful part of the world! The staff couldn’t do enough for me and really made the place. By the end of my stay it was like I was part of the family. I was looked after by a woman called Louise who was amazing. A real asset to the place, you could tell she put so much love into The Farmyard Inn. I’ve definitely found my new place to stay whenever I visit youlgrave! 10/10 and would highly recommend everyone stays there.

Called in and was disappointed after ordering drinks, then informed that food was not available. We asked for the menu and was told the special menu was the menu it's not what it used to.be far from when Richard had it who cared about his custom would not go again place was dirty we noticed sorry but the truth hurts you need to get your place in order as you won't survive

We were on a walking weekend Friday to Sunday. The accommodation was first class modern and the chef pulled out all the stops to provide us with an enormous Breakfast both days. The locals made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed there company and of course excellent real ale .

Whilst staying in Youlgreave for a few nights break we had heard that the Farmyard Inn was holding its fortnightly quiz (Thursday's) so decided to pop along. Well I'm so glad we did, Louise the new owner greeted us with a big smile and a warm welcome as did the previous owners daughter and her friend even sharing with us some fresh cut rhubarb. My husband and son had their favourite Abbot Ale and I had a large glass or 3 of the Malbec, which I must say was one of the best I've had from a pub and I'm a fussy wine drinker! Another local named Rex was the quizmaster for the evening and did a brilliant job, questions were a great mix, not easy but you didn't have to be an "egg head" either. We came third out of 3 teams lol but Louise still presented us with a prize....some Feriero Roche's (everybody shared their winnings, which was so lovely) After the quiz Louise brought out some pork pies and mustard too! Which was a really lovely touch. We really felt like part of the community at The Farmyard Inn, and the next time we are in the area, we will definitely be popping in.

Went there with a group of friends for an evening. We were put in a side room where the WiFi was as weak as the blood pressure of a roadkill. Food was OK (but some dishes on the menu were not available). State of male...

Booked a 2 night stay to celebrate our anniversary. On our arrival we were told that there would be no breakfast in the mornings, as the Inn wasn't set up to serve it. We really were so disappointed, and had to then drive into Bakewell...

Came with a group. Despite booking in advance, no steak & ale pie available. Chose homity pie. Very dry, just chunks of potato inside and barely anything else, served with chips, peas and lumpy gravy. Although staff polite, the service was totally disorganised. Some meals...

Booked a table for 6 for 28/7 but when my husband and I arrived we were put on a very unsatisfactory table near the door which was access to the entrance and also the toilets. The other 4 hadn’t arrived at this stage. When the...

Really disappointed , Eaten here a few times and always been good. Visited yesterday, menus tatty, first choice of food not available. Then waited 45 minutes for food to arrive.When it eventually arrived the peas were cold.The burger looked like it had been thrown together...

Could only book a table for 6.00 turned up on time and shown to a table in the snug, well actually in an old fire place, which was a bit claustrophobic. After 10 minutes a drink order was taken after 20 minutes more no drinks....

Love this place. Inside or in the lovely beer garden. Always get good food and drink. Dog friendly too. Thanks to Louise and the team. Highly recommend.

My husband popped in just as they opened and bought some ciders and J20 to take out and promised we would return. We did, just as the heavens started to open. We got a couple of lovely Timothy Taylor 'Landlords', a coca cola and some...

Lovely, friendly and helpful serving staff. We both asked for a tweak to the Chicken dish on the main menu and this was happily accommodated. Really tasty and well priced. Would definitely recommend!

Use the car park as on street parking in Yougrave is a bit of a task. Homity pie, cheese, onion and potato pie, with garden peas and skin on chips Steak & ale pie, chips with skins on, small portion of garden peas. All very...

We were looking for somewhere to eat after a walk in the nearby countryside. After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, we opted for the Farmyard Inn. We we’re not disappointed. We only had mains but they were delicious and as good as they looked:...

Hadn’t booked but turned up on spec over 2 evenings. Was quickly found a table in a little nook for me and my dog. Attentive and friendly staff. Delicious Homity Pie, chips and peas followed by treacle sponge. Couldn’t eat it all so no problem...

Had made booking by phone, was told no need for deposit (which I thought was odd at the time), then when turned up for appointed booking, was told there was NO booking. New manager made absolutely no effort to help me find another room locally,...

Fabulous roast lamb, huge children’s portions. Friendly, helpful staff. Would have been nice if there had been some local real ales on. Only had landlord, abbot and greenking IPA on.

Excellent lunch, compliments to the chef Excellent service by Jack very professional, attentive , nothing was too much trouble We will be back.

Great pub, best in village. Food good and lovely staff. Took are two dogs in and it was never a problem.

First visit to the Farmyard Inn for a long time. It's recently under new management, and we stopped by for lunch with my elderly mother. Food was gorgeous, new managers friendly and helpful, good range of beers, wine also nice range reasonably priced. We had...

Arrived as a visitor to Youlgreave for a long weekend of walking around this fabulous village. Unfortunately we found only the Farmyard Inn open from a choice of 3 local pubs mid afternoon Friday. We arrived in a rain storm with wet dogs in tow...

Stayed in Youlgrave for 5 days, this is by far the worse of the pubs, food was bland, Timothy Taylors was sour, approached the Manager and was met with a very defensive response. Both the George and Bulls Head (Best in Village) better options.

Richard is a very warm and welcoming. Would recommend the farmyard for drinks and food. You will always receive a lovely welcome 🤗

We have lived in the peak for over 15 years. We called in here for dinner and a drink one evening on the recommendation from the new owner at the old hall hotel hope valley and I must express at how we were very pleased...

A warm.welcome followed by a first class Sunday roast,thoroughly reccomend this pub and we will definitely be back to visit this great pub

Welcome back to the Farmyard! Re-opened and now spruced up and with a great menu. We enjoyed Steak and Ale pie with lovely chips, good veg, plenty of tasty gravy and top rate pastry. Timothy Taylor Landlord on tap and very easy listening, quiet, music....

stopped in for a drink and some food on a walk. The pub was warm (however seat by the toilets meant cold air kept on coming through when door was opened) food was lovely. Roast was high quality and decent portions.

First time we have visited youlgreave and we were excited to explore with a 10 mile walk by the river and over the hills. We started and finished in the village and stumbled upon this fantastic friendly pub. I have got to say this is...

Wonderful evening at the Farmyard, the meal was amazing, all home cooked, the staff and local people were super friendly and very entertaining. Totally recommend!

Popped in today as we were on a Charity Walk. The Landlord was rude, he opened the door to trade said hello and then turned round and the door shut in our face. He even asked us to close the door to keep the heat...

Came here yesterday for drinks and Sunday dinner with friends and our dogs. Great place. Landlord/staff were so friendly, put us at ease straight away. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and they met all our requests with a smile, from extra gravy to a jug...

Had a couple of lovely meals here and food was good and the portions were huge. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Just good quality food, well prepared and very reasonably priced.

A beautiful pub with excellent, well priced food and exceptional service. Dog friendly and the staff were absolutely lovely, really kind and went out of their way to give us a lovely evening. Would recommend to anyone in the area but especially dog owners!

We had a couple of meals here and lots of drinks! This is definitely the best pub in the village of Youlgrave with exceptionally friendly manager who goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy your visit. We went to quiz night on...

There's nothing fancy about the food; it is just great produce cooked extremely well. Add to that a very well kept pint and a manager who epitomizes bonhomie and you have a first class evening out.

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst on our walking holiday, had a lovely room (the Cowshed!) and the breakfasts were excellent. Ate here one night, and wished we had eaten here the second as well after a less than good experience elsewhere. Staff are lovely,...

Great food,nice size menu to choice from,great beers..friendly staff.will definitely return again when in the area.

Fantastic lunch served by friendly and helpful staff in a traditional English pub. Freshly cooked food which was delicious!

Really enjoyable meal at the Farmyard Inn. Chickens skewers were delicious and burger was perfect. Staff were so welcoming and attentive. Lovely fire in the grate made it a friendly atmosphere Will definitely return.

We like the sound of several things on the menu and our final choices were chicken, bacon and brie salad and the burger with chips. The salad leaves were excellent and plentiful, the burger very tasty and chips very good too. There was a decent...

The pub has been taken over recently and the menu appears to be the same. We booked for Good Friday evening and Sat down at 7pm. By that time, they had run out of the fishcake starter ! We persevered and my wife enjoyed her...

Tried the Farmyard for a second time after a disappointing visit a year ago and subsequently found it closed? Seems to be a change of ownership. Fantastic pint of Landlord. The pub seems to have a buzz about it. Quite a few tables with people...

Booked here for Easter Sunday lunch Roast dinner was the only option but we did know this in advance and it was very nice Dessert was a bit of a disappointment though, we ordered the crème brûlée which was actually a panna cotta, no brûlée...

Sad to see the atmosphere in The Farmyard Inn has been ruined with introduction of lighting that is far too bright. For goodness sake reduce the wattage.

We were staying in the village for a couple of nights and decided to pop in on the off chance of having a meal, even though they had a large party booked in we were welcomed in and given a table in the bar area....

We booked for the night of Thursday 25th. We were welcomed by Sharon. who showed us too our room the pig sty !! Not a pig sty at all it was very warm and clean with a very comfortable bed and a great ensuite We...

OK so we found this place on TripAdvisor when visiting the Peak District and were really excited to try it. When we arrived we were seated in the public bar which was tired and dated to say the least and we got a little nervous....

Popped in here at lunchtime and was delighted by friendly service and beautiful location and beer garden. The veggie burger was delicious and the chips sooo tasty. Friendly, warming atmosphere and would definitely go again!

Lovely clean, modern accommodation in the centre of Youlgreave. Use of a private patio as well as the main outdoor area belonging the pub. Landlady friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Food delicious, service top notch. Do your planning before you go as we had no phone...

Pre booked table for evening meal Lovely staff. Traditional pub. Only 1 chef on so warned about long kitchen delays. Probably only a 40-45 minute wait. Good vegetarian options & really tasty. Unfortunately coleslaw not vegan added to plate tho. Otherwise really good puddings too...

Called in at this Pub for lunch whilst on holiday in the area. It was a lovely sunny day so we were disappointed to be told that they weren’t serving food outside, despite having several picnic tables in the garden. However we sat outside and...

Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed the local sausages + mash, salmon and the superb steak & ale pie with wonderful pastry. This was followed by 3 of the signature waffle desserts and a delicious jam sponge with delightful custard. On top of this, the...

Thank you for two lovely evenings here. The gardens were great for drinks before or after a meal but when we went we had to eat indoors. Plenty of variety on the menu - thank you and staff gave us a friendly welcome. Safe, efficient...

We were staying in a holiday cottage in youlgreave over the weekend,and decided to eat at the farmyard Inn,on both the Saturday and Sunday. The choice of food was excellent on both days,with a member of our parties dietary requirements taken into consideration. The quality...

We booked for Sunday Lunch having read the reviews on here. It is obviously a popular place as it was fully booked. We had booked in advance. It was, however, disappointing. The quality of the meal was not great, the meat was dry and the...

On a walking holiday in Youlgreave village with three pubs ... but the Farmyard Inn was our watering hole after each day walking the hills with Landlord, Abbot and Speckled Hen on draught. Food was excellent, well-presented and very good value but booking is essential...
