The Fox Inn in High Peak

Found this hidden gem towards the end of a ten mile walk. Only had a pint so did not try the food. Nice old traditional pub with plenty of in and outdoor seating. Worth seeking out

Proper traditional pub.Cosy atmosphere.Very friendly landlady. Proper old fashioned pub food and all sorts of extra treats. Plus good beer and cider.Homemade jam and chutney for sale.Loved the ole juke box with tunes that covered the 7 decades of my life. Pleasant outdoor seating. Wonderful experience in middle of nowhere.

Great pub, I have been many times when out on a walk and always found it welcoming with nice beer and very good food. Highly recommended.

Lovely little hideaway, pleasant and helpful staff, food... delicious! This pub, tucked away in a remote spot of Strines/New Mills is where my mum and dad used to visit in their younger days. Dad sat and mused about happy times they spent together, sitting at the window table, chatting with friends and drinking, by the little roaring fire and remembers the welcoming atmosphere at the time. It certainly sounds like nothing has changed at all. A happy mix of loyal local folk and visiting guests arrive to either sit and chat or dine and drink at the tables on the raised outside area alongside the tiny road that leads to the car park at the back.

Love this place.Been coming here since i was a kid.Nothing has really changed over the years.Food is simple but tasty and a great place to visit on a walk in the lovely countryside

Great pub for walking in the hills. Haven’t tried the food, but great selection of crisps and sweets behind bar

only just 1 mile walk on tarmac quiet lane from New Mills, the Fox has a big history in its walls and a lively terrace for drinking outside in nicer weather. A short steep path down/up to/from Strines Station connects it to the bus route between New Mills and Stockport as well.

Sunday quiz always good fun . Play your cards right gives you a chance to win money too. Lovely friendly people pub x

Often visit The Fox when out walking, it has plenty of seating outside and always seems busy.

Amazing pub , we go each Thursday before Easter & many other times over the year. One of my favorite pubs.

Hidden gem. Popular with walkers. Staff and food both excellent.

At the end of the road to nowhere, lies a small unassuming pub ( not the Slaughtered Lamb). On the night I visited, it all started off quite nice and quiet with one lad at the bar chatting away to Jack ( the barman) and another lady. I sat with my friend, catching up on times. It got more interesting as a group of lads came in. All of them were super nice and chatty. I even managed to rope one into singing in the pub as a penalty for dropping a glass. All in all I had rather a nice evening and I even managed to survive the Arctic tundra that is the toilets. You could say I rose to the challenge, however I shrunk as soon as I walked in. The bar staff were nice and the people that were there were nice. I may wait for the warm weather before my next visit though.

Another great evening at the Fox with a warm welcome from Mel the Landlady and the roaring fire in equal measure. They've got Citra on at the moment which is a pretty good pint.

Lovely old styled pub. Popped in for a coffee during a walk, so quiet at lunchtime. Not been in The Fox for a beer for literally decades, but will return.

I love this place! It is a brilliant traditional pub, it doesn't have lots of frills, but it is great at what it does. It has a great land lady and just has a really nice feel.

Nice pub, great countryside. Well worth a visit after a walk up the hill 😁

Great little pub peaceful lovely staff and city fans to ⚽

Didn't dine so don't know about the food. But excellent local pub and enjoyed the quiet background music of Freddie Canon while drink a pint of Guinness

Popped in during our walk, not been for a number of years and was so glad it was still open. In a beautiful place , lovely bar staff on our visit would have loved to stay longer but unfortunately I would still have to drive home. Not going to leave it so long for my next visit.

Nice little village pub. Friendly staff. Ideal place to pop in and quench your thirst after a day walking or cycling. They also do little snacks like ice cream, crisps and cakes. Would recommend 👍

Can't beat the location. Beautiful traditional building. Friendly staff. Basic food reasonably priced, you get lots of it too. Which is what you need if you are using it as a stop on a hike.

Nice place for a pint while out walking the new barmaid was really nice 👍

The pub has a Man City shrine and a bunch of scythes on the wall. What more do you need?

Good food & Service all within a lovely traditional pub.

I love this place. A proper old pub in a lovely part of the world. The perfect stop-off point on a long walk/bike ride in the hills.

Lovely walk up from Strines to Brookbottom and THE FOX

A lovely quaint tradition pub. Great ale and beautiful setting.

One of the best pubs in the world! I mean it! Old fashioned juke box, great pub to stop off at on a walk. Wonderful!

Friendly. Sorry food nice but far too many chips. I had scampi batter hard well over cooked

Lovely old fashioned country pub. Huge portions of homemade food. Amazing location and walk down the gorgeous gorge to the railway station

Idyllic traditional pub with lovely beer and great views.

Just an absolute delight in the countryside

Classic venue, very affordable, always cosy and a perfect end to a walk.

Lovely small pub ideal for walkers. We were lucky to have the sun shining on our visit so sat outside. The barman was lovely and chatted when we ordered - more than happy to help with our queries when we had them. Thanks!

Lovely old time pub (though it does have Sky Sports!) Very quiet place and a bit of a trek if you're walking (we walked from Marple Bridge, through Roman Lakes) but well worth it. Julie says try the Fox Inn ale, light and golden, lovely for a summer's day.

Nestled in a nice location and a good stop for a beer mid walk. Its a very typically old fashioned pub with standard ales and bitters.

Excellent pub for a really well kept pint and decent pub food.

Friendly service, good pints, nice garden.

Hadn't planned to stop but after a decent walk past New Mills golf club & along various public footpaths we arrived in Broad bottom about 1.15pm so decided to stop & have something to eat & a drink. Three fishing sandwich, chips, coleslaw and salad meals, one jacket potato with tuna, mayo and cheese...as it wasn't that chilly we decided to eat outside (the landlord said if we were too cold just come inside...log fire burning). Food was freshly cooked, hot, tasty and lots of it. Couple of pints of Strongbow, a pint of IPA and a bottle of zero alcohol beer. Really welcome break to the walk and after we finished we were ready to hit the road again. Great pit stop, highly recommend it to you if in the area...

Really enjoyed our lunch, food was good, generous portion & great value. Nice place to spend an afternoon in the sunshine 😊

Love the fox..one of the last proper pubs around!

My very first home, my brother was born in the Fox 1962.. we have been back a few times to reminisce..whilst there we had a lovely meal, dog friendly..staff pleasant.. great surroundings. Visited again today3rd June ,on a sad note...Mel and family kind and caring ... excellent food , service excellent considering there was 15 of us.... Will be back..xx

Lovely pub good food and it's tucked away in the middle of the countryside. My husband had chilli smoked beans and rice. I had apricot, chick pea and lamb with rice. They were delicious.

Lovely cosy pub with a real fire. The food is lovely and they are dog friendly. Highly recommend.

Great place for food and drinks if you're on a hike or ramble. Really cosy and the menu is both varied and very affordable. Try the Fox Inn house ale, a lovely pint! Will definitely visit again

Great Boxing Day welcome. Lovely stalls and a festive vibe. Great local pub.

Brilliant place, top food, and friendly service, will definitely go back again 😀

Lovely wee pub we visited whilst down visiting family. Friendly environment with amazing staff. Food and drinks are excellent with a great choice. If in area I highly recommend a visit.

Lovely walk from Strines train station,to a cute little pub with beautiful surroundings and friendly Staff.

Went back in time great atmosphere lots of old relics... Lovely friendly place

great place for relaxing beer outside in the sun.

Nice place for a drink after a walk up the hill.

Lovely rural pub set in a nice little hamlet. A selection of local ales and bottled beer. A good stop on a walk.

Our walking group called yesterday (17 9 2021). The food was great. Loved it, we shall go again.

Sat outside and suitably socially distanced on a sunny evening cooling down after a hot July day. Well managed outside table and canopy for orders which were then brought to table from where there were easing village views and views across to Manchester

Brilliant customer service fromElaine!

Very good little village pub, with delicious food. Food and drinks are being served outside with plenty of tables, although it was very busy when we went and there was quite a wait for food. The staff were all really friendly and helpful

Extremely rude landlord surprised they’ve got any customers at all .

The perfect mid walk stop. Beautiful location. Not a gastro pub. Just a simple country pub. Can't say any more really.

Nice pub in the middle of a beautiful village.

Lovely time. Good food. Mel the landlady made us most welcome.

Lovely location. Loved our drinks in the sun

Great little pub set in a wonderful location that always provides a warm welcome. Lots of outdoor seating and surrounded by beautiful walking routes. Visited most recently during Covid times but they were still providing food and drink through one of the windows.

Beautiful rural setting, perfect place for picking up something to eat and drink whilst out enjoying the countryside

Lovely service polite staff happy to help

On walk so nice to get a drink and toasty made a great day . Well done the staff 😷

Was chuffed to see the Fox open serving food and soft drinks today, made a nice walk even nicer.

Fab takeaway after a lovely walk to The Fox on Sunday. Lovely Cadbury's hot chocolates and sausage and chip baps. Thank you! Hope it stays busy enough for you to stay open! 🍴

This hamlet of 200 year old houses and a pub. Seems to me a perfect place to live. And excellent food to boot. PERFECT.

Food was great. Service friendly

Lovely place to stop for a pint in the middle of your bike ride or walk.

Very busy on a Sunday afternoon, as I walked past

Traditional old pub in sheltered hamlet serving good beer and a simple menu at reasonable prices.

Came across this pub by accident as we were on a long walk along the Goyt valley. So a much needed drink was needed and we also had food. Excellent top quality, the pub was busy but there was room for social distance. And we got our drinks and food very quickly. The staff vey nice and friendly. Top marks.

I THINK THAT IT'S OUT OF THE WAY

Great country pub, lovely village and plenty of outside seating space

Excellent pub,had a massive ploughmans,beer was excellent, friendly staff,just a perfect rural pub!

A little hidden gem, full of character and as pubs used to be. Keep the beer excellent.

Very picturesque pub in a small helmet called Brookbotom in a little corner of Newmills higher peak at the moment they are serving food till 5.30 pm outside in the lovely beer garden quite a basic menu but very good food some cask beers & most other drinks small carpark & enough room for wheelchairs some great walks round about beautiful countryside

Very impressive post Covid-19. Fast service and a good range of drinks. Perfect for a sunny day.

Another fantastic night Stella Vision were great. The Fox landlady brilliant host. I still got a bad headache but that's my fault. Thanks again Mark Proctor

Love this great little pub. Cyclists cycling& ramblers rambling .

Lovely little quaint pub, perfect for stopping off when on a walk. Those in our group who ate really enjoyed it and recommended the chilli in particular!

Only visit on boxing day for Morris dancing and Carol singing

A pint......but it isn't quick!

Great little pub, walkers and cyclist friendly

Friendly pub with good beers. Fantastic day there with the new Mills music festival.

Lots of heritage in this local gem. Perfect for refreshments after a walk up to Mellor Cross

Same old fox. Not good but not bad.

The bar girl on Sundays is amazing and so funny!

A quiet little secluded pub, we stopped only for a quick drink but will be going back to try the food

Sadly no pictures but I was walking around the area and come across it and noted that it is very nice pub with a beer garden. Ideal for a quite drink or 2 😁. Will go again to sample the beer and take some pictures.

A lovely cosy pub, nicely tucked away. Friendly Landlord and Landlady.

Warm friendly welcome every visit. Hidden gem

Lovely old-fashioned pub with friendly staff and enormous helpings of great food.

Had a fantastic chilli con carne meal here, all for just £7. Would definitely visit again.

Beautiful surroundings but very average food.

A bit tired but atmospheric and worth a walk occasionally.

Lovely quiet little pub, great food too

Lovely quaint typical hamlet pub
