The Grouse Inn in Derbyshire Dales

Great place for lunch while out on a hike, excellent choice of sandwiches for a hiking lunch, and deserts that could not be resisted! Really friendly and welcoming staff as well in a proper pub setting on an Autumn day with the fire going, couldn’t be better, thank you!!

After a good 4 hours walking with our 3 dogs we stumbled upon The Grouse Inn So we decided to have dinner and drinks. We went in the front door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children, use back door' Went to the back door to be met by a sign saying 'no dogs or children' So i asked the waiter where I could go, he said I couldn't take my dogs inside as they had a big table of people in 'the dog friendly bit' Luckily it wasn't raining so we sat out side. I ordered my drinks and asked about food. Was told I needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2pm, so we rushed our order to the barman. The bloke behind me was told he needed to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:15 😱 Believe it or not, the bloke behind him was told to hurry as the restaurant closes at 2:30. 😂 Anyway, my fish and chips tasted like they'd been warned up most of the day, no matter how much tartar sauce, salt, vinegar and ketchup I put on, it was absolutely tasteless. There wasn't any check back to see if the food was ok. The only time the came back was to clear the table. 1st and last time eating at The Grouse Inn The only good thing about the place was the barman was too busy telling everyone to hurry up with their orders, he forgot to charge me for 2 pints of San Miguel. 😀😀👍🏻

Been coming here for over 30 years and still love it for what it is. Traditional setting, food and service which doesn’t need to change! This is a proper pub with fantastic views, proper home cooked grub and service, may be a bit of a wait when things get busy but staff always do their best to manage queues and wait times. All the staff are pleasant, hard working and customer focussed- refreshing in this day and age!

Been to this pub many times over the years. It relies on its location and food for custom. Unfortunately, the guys serving at the bar recently have no customer skills - I was not alone in nearly walking out without ordering meals. Hopefully they can be sent on a customer awareness course.

Lovely authentic country pub with amazing views. Good choice of food on menu. Reasonably priced. Friendly bar staff and very pleasant young man who served our food.

We went for lunch after a walk. It was a lovely day so we sat outside. The views were stunning. It was quite busy due to the weather but we didn’t have to wait long for food. We ate the Brie wedges starter and the quiche special. Both were very generous portions and delicious. The coleslaw was the best I’ve had in a while. One member of our group is coeliac. There were a few options for them both in the menu and on the specials board. He had the turmeric chicken with rice as the chips are not gluten free. If wanting a gluten free menu ask at bar as adapted menu. Will definitely return!

Drive past this place many times and decided to pop in for some lunch. Lovely proper old pub inside with a roaring fire going. Got a table for 2 and ordered at the bar. I had small Fish and Chips and hauls and had a jacket potato with beans, it was pretty much the only item he could have on the menu other than a curry. Food game quickly but my very thick piece of fish wasn’t cooked in the middle and had to go back. So by the time a second one came my Husband had finished. Waitress did apologise but it marred our dinner. Fish was nice and fresh but a bit tasteless. Good chips. Husbands jacket spud tasted ‘tinny’ a sign it’s been done a while. Think a 3.5 for it on a whole

Very conveniently located pub for us to drop in for lunch after a 3.5 hour walk on Longshaw Estate. We called to book, but was told to just come along which we did and got a nice table by the fire. I was delighted to see 4 decent real ales on tap. A good choice menu with homemade dishes, fairly priced, and a good portion (very much needed after our walk!). It was very comfortable by the fire so we stopped for a homemade dessert. (Delicious!) Not many pubs like this left, a nice rural traditional pub with a mix of walkers and locals. I read a lot of reviews saying staff were rude. I didn’t find them rude at all, but perhaps would have been nice to get a hello when going to the bar or further acknowledgement. Look forward to returning.

Always a great treat. Lovely food in a great setting. Comfortable restaurant with a good atmosphere. Have been several times now and can't wait to get back and try more of the menu.

Lovely dog friendly pub. Food is good and they allow dogs in two sections. The room was a bit cold and everyone had jackets on but it was a cold day. Really friendly staff

Rude staff. How they ever get business is beyond me. I’d give this place a miss and try any of the much friendlier places in the area.

We live in Sheffield but have never been to the Grouse before. We all enjoyed our food, the staff were friendly and helpful. The beer was good. We cannot understand the poor reviews that the Grouse has received. Perhaps the staff have now been trained. Worth a visit.

Absolutely lovely country pub stop after our favourite walk. We called ahead to explain we were a bit late and worried we might miss food service but they let us order over the phone. We had our dog with us and so sat in the back bar which was lovely. We had the open prawn sandwich, fish finger sandwich and shared chips and onion rings. Great food, decent portions and authentic pub grub

Phoned to book a table for Sunday lunch and was told “just walk in, we’ll find you a table” First time at this pub so we walked in with our family and 2 dogs, there was a dog lying on the floor so assumed our dogs must be ok to go in. We were met with a rude woman loudly telling us “no dogs in the front room!’ I apologised and she added “there’s a sign on the bar!’ We’d barely got in, never mind near enough to the bar to see a sign. We were told to go through to the back room which we did. Felt like a cafe in there. We left

The pie here was good in the past but just had the fish and chips which was very poor. A square of fish with overdone batter, some fairly soggy chips and ordinary peas. Not good value for the price charged.

We’ve been going here for years and the steak pie is fantastic however this Sundays was a great disappointment. The meat was very tough. The place is up for sale and we just wondered if the standards are dropping because of it? A short review but we wanted the owners to read this.

A regular little Gem. We visit as a treat and this was the worst ever meal ever. What can you get wrong? Plate was oversized - if you are going to give a large plate then fill it! Chips were frozen. Salad sparse. Best thing on the plate was the three cheese and onion quiche. Will give it one more try to see if they improve.

Called here for lunch on a busy hot sunny Thursday. Plenty of outdoor seating with great views. The food was of an acceptable standard, not outstanding but not bad. Same goes for the beer. However the staff behind the bar were dismal. Grumpy, unfriendly, unsmiling and bickering between each other in front of waiting customers. Also no awareness of the people waiting to be served or the length of time they had stood there. You would almost surmise that they didn’t appreciate being busy, strange for a sector that is constantly telling us how hard it is.

Best fish and chips in a long while, and everyone else enjoyed their meals too. Unfortunately we plumped for an outside table on a warm but cloudy day after a walk....and it turned to rain, but no tables inside by then - our fault, so we stuck an umbrella up and brazened it out. Lovely meal, washed down with a pint of Wainwrights gold. Such a lovely view and the rain couldn't ruin it.

Amazing service and food. Loved it. Great if you are walking in the area. Friendly and would go back again.

For anyone walking in the area, particularly if it is windy and / or raining, then this pub is a joy to behold. Very walker-friendly, providing overshoe covers for muddy boots, heart-warming meals and a fine selection of beers, all topped with friendly service. If the weather is bad, the hard part is leaving.

Great home-made food in a friendly pub. We were served our cottage pie and goulash in no time at all. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Just been here for lunch and the attitude of the kitchen staff and waitress was poor to say the least ! We sat outside as it was a lovely day and went in to order food. I informed the lady behind the bar of our...

Lovely pub with great comfortable restaurant. The food was excellent, especially liked the steak in gravy in a Yorkshire pud - sounds pubby but was pretty up market in flavours without being pretentious.

Called in today whilst walking curbar ridge on the off chance for a drink and some food. Our boots were really muddy so we were prepared to take them off at the door but they handily put boot covers in a box on the doorstep...

The food was very good, and everything was hot, just how we like it to be. Staff very nice. Had to wait a while, but it was worth it. Definitely going again.

Popped in for Saturday Lunch. Lovely outside seating area, great food and a good selection of beers and lagers. Staff were excellent. Outstanding

Amazing food! Generous portions and very friendly staff! Really enjoyed and will 100% return! I had scampi it’s was really tasty and fresh the portion sizes are fabulous unlike other pubs/restaurants Iv eaten, staff couldn’t do enough to help, it’s a laid back atmosphere but...

Great crispy chips and two perfectly-cooked fried eggs with runny yolks to dip them in - perfect mid-walk food.

It’s the little things that matter. I was waiting patiently at the bar and was next in line but was then told by bar attendant to join queue on the other side which had grown to about five people waiting. Seemed unfair so I walked...

While on a walk with my two children we decided to stop here for a lunch break (as it was the only pub on route that I’m aware of) we arrived by the side door opposite the road, once inside I overheard the lady at...

To say it was a bit dated the food was great, steak pie lovely, service was very good couldn’t Fault it. Will be back thank you.

The team here couldn't be more helpful, and the food (Steak Pie!) was awesome. We had a large group of walkers with a dog and the staff bent over backwards to get us a place to sit. I didn't expect we would be very welcome,...

Didn’t expect to be talked over and made to feel unwelcome by one of the waitress’s over a misunderstanding over peas ! Rude, unprofessional and unnecessary

We haven't been to The Grouse for a wile, mainly due to Covid. So recently decided we needed a pie 'fix'. Went for early dinner and had 2 of the smaller portions of steak pie, absolutely terrific, lots of tender beef in real gravy and...

Called at 4pm on the off chance they could accommodate 6 of us (including small children) after a beautiful and busy walk over at Surprise view with our visiting American family who wanted a proper pub meal. We were answered by a person and not...

Stopped here after a rainy walk and received a warm welcome and a lovely pint. Good sandwiches from a varied menu. Plenty of parking. Great views

Called in for lunch and it was pretty busy. I had fish and chips and The Better Half had a corned beef sandwich with a side of chips. The fish wasn't great, didn't taste terribly fresh and the peas and chips appeared to be frozen...

We are lucky to live very close and often pop in for lunch. (almost every month) Amazing views. Good pub grub, freshly prepared and extrememly tasty. Lovely staff, always very friendly.

A wonderful walk along Curbar Edge takes you to this lovely pub. It has definitely improved since we were here 4 years ago. There is a very good menu that has something for everyone. My Creamy Garlic Mushrooms were excellent as was my partners Yorkshire...

Not great. The tetley bitter tasted very strange. Ordered the food , my wife’s sandwich arrived but no sign of my steak pie. After 10 minutes went to question where it was. Then found my pie order had not been taken. There followed a discussion...

We had arranged a family weekend months ago, but COVID caused our accommodation to cancel a week before. We were always intending to have dinner at The Grouse, but we found they had a self cater apartment which we were lucky enough to secure. Sally,...

Excellent food and service received at a very busy time. Perfect for walkers and allows dogs. Brilliant.

Telephoned early evening and said come up as did not take bookings. Venue for local Rotary. Car park rammed. Entered front door to a traditional pub with cosy bar. Bar area crowded with every table taken. Friendly bar lady suggested table at rear pub, which...

I had small portion of meat pie & Sue had small portion of gammon with egg. Nicely complimented with chips & peas. Substantial meals. We followed up with sweets that were to die for. My photographs will show the presentation of our food. Quickly served...

A traditional pub with a simple and traditional menu. ‘Pub grub done good’ would be the term I’d use to describe the food. The menu isn’t going to change the culinary landscape but it doesn’t need to. Would love to visit in winter, as inside...

My 3rd visit here, each time I struggle with the menu to find anything I want to order. In desperation I ordered the veggie curry, as did 3 of our party. They took about an hour to bring the food. They presented us with a...

Stopped here for lunch al fresco during our walk. Fabulous lunch. Everyone in the group enjoyed their meal. I had one of the speicals - Chicken Caesar salad - yum! Place is well run in terms of Covid. May have to do the same walk...

Beautiful location and very tasty food. Only thing that has slipped a little is the portion sizes. Brie wedge starter used to come with a slice of melon, a good size crusty roll with butter and a good helping of coleslaw. The bread roll was...

Me and my friend had the steak pie which was incredible, friendly staff and best of all my dog could come too!

Beautiful setting. Well organised. Friendly, efficient staff. Enjoyed a good pint. Chicken and ham pie was very good.

I cannot say enough about this amazing venue. Country side venue tick, food tick, value tick tick, staff tick, host amazing. Love love love.

Went for final meal before lock down. Of course the menu is going to be limited of course it is. The issue was very poor service. The establishment wasn’t busy and we said to a member of staff that the service was poor. (Various reasons)...

A welcome stop mid way on circular walk of Curbar, Froggatt and White Edge. Food, sandwiches, were good and beer too. Service was friendly and welcoming. Would recommend anyone wanting lunch in the area.

Absolutely lovely visit! The food was super tasty and staff very friendly ! Highly recommended for everyone especially after long walk around Longshaw ! We will come back here soon ! Thank you !:)

We enjoyed a perfect Saturday hearty lunch before setting off for Froggatt Edge. Good choice on the menu, friendly service and a proper authentic traditional pub setting. Thanks for a great visit

Having recently injured my ankle, I have not been able to get out walking, but a visit to the Grouse for their celebrated steak pie made up for it all. It's got to be the best pub in Derbyshire by a long mile. (Good Covid...

We love visiting The Grouse. Lovely family run pub (proper pub!). Food is good and service is friendly. Arrive with your boots on from a long walk on the Edge or pop up for a drink at the bar, either way you’ll get a warm...

After a bracing walk along the White Edge, we got into The Grouse as soon as it opened. Given the strange world we live in at the moment, and knowing how popular the Grouse is usually, we didn't want to miss out! We weren't disappointed,...

We stopped in here as we came to the Peak District for the day. The food was amazing. I had the steak pie, my wife had the veggie lasagne. The staff were very helpful and friendly. If we are in this area again we will...

The owner and the staff are the friendliest, warmest people who even give the dogs a biscuit! A perfect pint stop on a Peak District walk

I'm biased because we've been going to The Grouse for 20 years now, but this characterful and friendly Peak District Pub is open properly again after restrictions were lifted today. Good beer, great food and a warm welcome just like it always was. For those...

We visited in February and had a lovely experience. 8 of us in all including my parents who were celebrating their diamond anniversary. We had previously dropped off some table decorations and balloons and we were really pleased that the table had been dressed for when we arrived. Everyone there could not do enough for us, mum and dad had not wanted 'a fuss' but enjoyed every minute and loved the attention and care that was given to them. We all enjoyed our meals and not one of us could find any fault. Thank you so much for helping us to celebrate such a special occasion, your efforts were much appreciated!

Reasonably priced food but inferior quality. Dog allowed to wander in and out of kitchen at will. Such a shame as nice pub in picturesque location with fire and friendly staff

We were intending to visit here whilst on a family walk with a dog and child. We read previous reviews but were a little put off by someWe still visited the pub which was very good especially for walkers with muddy boots. Although we didn’t eat the food we saw looked good Some people moaned about the back room but we found it very good especially as dogs were allowed in The ladies toilets even had baby changing facilityIt proves you have to take some reviews with a pinch of saltWill definitely be calling in again

Lovely lunch today - particularly the rhubarb crumble. Great well kept real ales. Food took a while (which suited us fine) but the sunny weather meant the pub was packed out. Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to go for a really good pub lunch.

8 of us came here on new year's day, I appreciate it was new year's day so they were very busy, however when we ordered we were given no indication of the time it would take for our food to arrive. We ended up waiting an hour! I wouldn't have minded if we were informed at the time of ordering. Me and a family member ordered the sandwich of the day, which was salmon and cucumber - £8, sounds delicious right? Well after our hour long wait when our sandwiches arrived, we received TINNED pink salmon, something that costs 25p in a shop!! It came with shop bought coleslaw, I could have made the disgusting disappointing sandwich at home for about 50p. The meal ruined my new year's day. I was not impressed and will not be returning.

8 people called in today mid way through a walk for a light lunch and drink. Upon writing this, I appreciate that today is New Years Day and they were busy. This was expected by us, therefore presumably expected by the pub too? Maybe?Anyway, we ordered 4 sandwiches, 1 soup, 1 Cajun salmon, 1 Ham egg and chips, 1 chip butty. We waited over 1 hour! No apology, no mention when placing the order of the wait we could expect either.Regardless, that aside, 3 of us had ‘The Sandwich of the Day’, sounds good right? Salmon and Cucumber! By the time it arrived I was really hungry, I even started gnawing a beer mat, needless to say I was really looking forward to it!To my absolute horror, the sandwich of the day, was tinned salmon! Really, who serves tinned salmon with no warning! Not even the red sockeye stuff my Gran used to buy (which, may I add, is ridiculously inexpensive, and there is a reason for that!) £8 for a tinned pink salmon sandwich!!This is wholly unacceptable! To have to audacity to even call that a sandwich of the day! Just lazy and very poor!

Avoid if you’ve got children - they’re banned from the main room. We visited today as two families of 4 and our bums had barely touched the seat when we were informed that children were not allowed in the main bar area. As far as we could see there were no signs to this effect and we were asked to move to a small damp lean to (where the toilets were located) at the back of the pub. We left instead - such a shame as this could be a great family pub in a lovely location but it appears stuck in the past.

Booked on the day for 11 people, but they were ready for us. The food is reasonably priced and they were quick to serve. The portions were good and the quality good - no complaints all round. Must add that the Wainwrights beer was particularly good.

What a great location - fantastic views, some amazing walks nearby, and a history that seeps out from the walls.Luckily the place was almost empty when we entered, (it's always been too busy before, but we got there early!).So we ordered and found a seat easily - then the pub started filling up, (perhaps I should have kept that tip a secret?).Anyway, there's a nice variety of places to sit and eat - inside and outside. A good range of decent, well kept beers, and a nice menu to choose from.When the food came, after a decent amonut of time, it was tasty, well cooked and plentiful, just what the doctor ordered.

Amazing location for post hiking drinks and food. We had lunch on a Sunday and they had a fun menu including roasts all which were excellent especially the pie. The chocolate brownie was also possibly the best brownie I've ever eaten. Good atmosphere, warm fire, traditional in decor and design (dont expect fancy gastro pub style here!) But very welcoming and a good selection of local ales too.

Jenny & I just called in here for a sandwich lunch mid-walk this time but enjoyed the Grouse as much as ever, especially as we found a lovely sheltered but sunny spot on the terrace outside to have a drink with the sandwich. It was cold out, only 8-9C with a stiff breeze, but out of the wind on a perfect sunny autumn day it was fine for half an hour or so. Fine sandwich too - brie, apple and walnut, with a side salad and homemade coleslaw, to go with our drinks and crisps - just what we needed. And added entertainment too as we watched ten or so members of the Yorkshire Husky Meet with their dogs milling around outside. Always a lovely place to come and a popular one, particularly so on a gorgeous autumn day.

Absolutely love this place view and the location is the best and a good pint, but today came in for something small to eat and a drink, the lady short haired behind the bar was rude, asked for a jacket potato and snapped back saying we have none no apology or anything, so we both had chip buttys and gravy because we were not aloud just chips and gravy ‍♀️, waited 40 minutes for me to ask another staff member who was really nice and went and found out it would be out soon so 50 minutes for 2 chip buttys and gravy and it wasnt even that busy atall! Food came, frozen chips that have been fried and 2 slices of cheap white bread and this came out of a ‘gourmet’ menu? You think coming to a place so nice like this you’d get something alot better! Also a filter coffee that tasted burnt served in a chipped cup Hope something can be done about this, because this place has so much potential

Called here for a meal early on a Saturday in October without booking. Food was served and quickly and was very nice pub grub. Steak pie hit the spot and puddings are home made and delicious. We will be back!

This is a great pub in all seasons. In summer, the terrace overlooking the beautiful Longshaw Estate is the perfect place for a meal and cool drink. When it's colder, a roaring open fire warms the cosy little bar. The food is more skilfully prepared than the average pub food and they do most meals in two sizes. We have always found the smaller size perfectly adequate. Our favourites are the cod poached in lemon butter and the turmeric chicken. The desserts are plentiful, delicious and served with aplomb.

A lovely place with a great drinks menu as well as delicious meals... Good range of veggie foods but not much for vegans. Wonderful views and walks nearby.

This is a great pub in some of the UK’s best walking areas in the Pennines Lovely food and sandwiches great service and good beer

Top pub, excellent food, roast & meat pie first class. Great place after a long walk. Staff polite and friendly. Great fruit crumble .Best pub around warm welcome.

We decided to liven up our Wednesday evening with a meal out in the Peak District. The pub wasn't busy but there was a private function going on. This didn't affect the friendly welcome or level and speed of service. We chose items from the specials board and ordered at the bar.

First impressions count and The Grouse Inn didn't disappoint. We were made to feel welcome by the two gents serving behind the bar. Both offered to help not just us but his colleague.

We were walking both Curbar and Froggatts edge over the bank holiday and as we parked near the pub we thought we would finish our hike here too!, real good hearty pub grub good value for money, friendly staff. caters for kids (there is a dining area at the back for families). It's ideally situated as if you're doing the edges you can start and finish here (and for keen walkers having a pub literally at the end of a hike is a bonus!). If you are a real ale drinker I recommend the 61 deep pale ale.

I'm not a local, but was in Sheffield for the weekend and I popped into this pub for a drink and Sunday lunch, following a lovely walk. Views are spectacular. The pub is old and has a real country feel about it. Locals were delightfully friendly. Staff were attentive and helpful. Food was out of this world. I had the biggest roast I've ever had. Loads of lamb, smothered in delicious gravy, with great choice of veg. I was in awe at the portion size, but more so the reasonable prices they were serving. I couldn't fault this pub at all, so it deserves 5*****

Really nice lunch, very homey pub with lovely staff and the views from the beer garden are fantastic.

I attended this restaurant after a walk with 7 of us attending the restaurant. Two of us are vegan and were disappointed at the one choice of a vegan main meals, a vegetable curry with poppadom and mango chutney on the special board. I feel in 2019 this is very poor offering. So with only the one choice, this was ordered.

Have driven / walked past several times, this was our first visit, the food was good, pie was a pie and not a lie, and I ordered quiche from the specials, the salad was up there with the best, honey mustard dressing and coleslaw, only downside the dog bar was empty and cold not very welcoming, so poor Gus was left in the boot good honest homemade food.

Called in with the dog, sat outside in the spring sunshine and had a delicious lunch. The steak pie is really good, nothing swanky, just good honest tasty food. The only downer was that the staff seemed unfriendly, but it was still a lovely casual lunch.

The food was fine, and eventually we had a nice spot at the fireplace, but at first the kids were not let in and the staff seemed very stressed. Would recommend the Fox House in stead.

We popped in here for lunch whilst hiking over the weekend. Timed it perfectly as the door was unlocked just as we walked up to it! It has a beautiful and cosy interior, made even better by the real log fire in the bar area.

Have visited this pub on numerous occasions and have yet to be disappointed The food is alway well presented, hot and the portion are great. There is always a specials board and usually a guest bitter. Family run so the service and quality is second to none definitely worth a visit

What lovely people! All of the staff exceeded any expectation with regard to service and interest in their customers. We were two couples who share a wedding anniversary and chose The Grouse due to excellent reports. The food is good, wholesome, well cooked and plenty of it. How sensible to split the main meals into either small or standard portions - prevents so much waste.

Went with my wife and elderly ,doddery mother on a cold Saturday evening. Didn’t look too appealing as only one other person there. However staff very welcoming and great real log fire to warm us. Menu is reasonable for a pub - enough choices and a specials board. The food was served quickly and piping hot. Looked a bit dated with loads of chips however my wife’s Whitby scampi was really very good and my steak pie was jammed with juicy tender steak with lots of gravy. The crumble was also wholesome and very filling. By the time we’d finished the place was full !

We stopped in here for a drink and warm up after a walk; ideal because if you dont mind being spirited away into the back room they do allow dogs in there! Not quite as attractive as the main bar area but its ok.

We did a circular walk from The Grouse Inn in late December and called in for a meal and drink afterwards.

After hiking on Froggatt Edge, hungry, damp and muddy, I spotted the Grouse Inn and went there for a hearty lunch. It was perfect! A fire roaring in the fireplace, Christmas decorations, mulled wine and a pie....what more could I want? The menu is traditional but with some updates like crabcakes.
