Nov 2024. Pie portion size now massively reduced. £17 for a very medium portion. What was great is now a rip off. Not what you want after a long walk. Such a shame. Will go elsewhere.

What a lovely pub. So nice to see a banks pub up north. Had an amber shandy. Some top afternoon grub and a lovely view to accompany it all. Would recommend for all your walkers. Great views and a perk it's on route!

Great place to stop in the middle of a walk, they even provide overshoes if you have muddy boots. Very cosy with log fires. Food was good, proper portions. Many dishes you can choose to have a smaller portion. Beer was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I don't think this pub takes table bookings so on a sunny Sunday in October it is inundated with walkers like us wanting lunch. We were disappointed to be turned away this time. I think they struggle for staff, but the food is plentiful and delicious pub grub. Just got to take pot luck!

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. 😀😀👍🏻

Having looked at the reviews and taken a lot of trouble to find the Grouse as the post code on the website doesn't take you to the correct location. When we arrived with our dog we were directed to the bar / restaurant area allowing dogs and children then being allowed to chose our own table of , was fine at the time there were two largish parties at two other tables one of about 12 persons including several children. We sat at our table which had the empty glasses in place from the previous occupants. Having chosen our meals inc starters and mains which were ordered at the bar returned to the table. The starters arrived and were eaten but the empty glasses from the previous occupa ts remained. Layer the mains arrived and again were consumed but the empty glasses remains which also meant that the table had not been cleaned or sanitised either. The situation was now becoming the joke of the evening and where we might have mentioned the situation to staff we wanted to see which departed the table first us or the glasses. It was us!!! We were not alone in the debacle of un cleared tables. The large party of 12 self cleared the used crockery from the main course ro make way for their desserts. This was placed on an unoccupied table which at best was only partially cleared by the time that we departed. Regarding the food we both had different choices amd unfortunately we both left a substantial part of our meals as on the evening the food offering was barely adequate. We had eaten out for the last ten evenings and we both honestly agreed that it was the worst meal we had had on this trip. On our experience that evening we are surprised that the current rating of 4.5 had been achieved when compared to other establishments in the area.

Having had a nice hike near Hathersage, we wanted a nice country pub, dog friendly, between there and home (Leek, Staffordshire) The staff are friendly, the food was tasty, garlic mushroom starter each for us both, scampi for myself and a pie from the specials board for my partner. They serve small portions for the majority of their mains if you've not got a large appetite. The views from the outside sitting area overlooking the Derbyshire dales is another positive. 100% recommend a visit and we will definitely return at some point.

Visited this pub twice in 2 weeks and both times the Bank’s bitter was off, cloudy, flat and tasted rancid ! One mouthful was enough, the bar man offered an alternative but the farmers blonde wasn’t much better , so opted for the safer option of a bottled cider from the fridge Cellar/ ale management really needs sorting at this pub

Nothing flash. Just a good honest pub. Bit rough round the edges but in a good way. It's the way pubs should be in my opinion. Young lads behind bar could do with stepping up little but at are friendly enough. Limited choice on menu but the pie is fantastic. Actually if they just served pie and chips I think it'd still be good. Proper walkers/runners pub. Oh 1 more thing to mention. Website says that 9pm food stops. It's actually 8 ish..

Stopped off for a hot drink and lunch on a walk, no dogs allowed in the front bar only the back bar, which is fine but this only accessible via the side with steps or ramp and an extremely dangerous handrail which is not fit for purpose! Once in the back bar you then have to go to the front bar to order, not ideal to leave your dog when on your own. Decided against ordering food due to the staffs rudeness, one older lady in particular. Final note the toilets reminded me of the old outside school toilets, two cubicles and one sink with paper towels and a pedal bin that was broken, very cold and draughty. Needless to say I won't be returning in a hurry

Just had the most amazing meal after 6.5 mile walk along Froggatts Edge. My husband had the day’s special Chicken, mushroom and leek pie and I had the muddle meats salad (chicken and ham) both were delicious. Followed by our favourite summer berries pavlova which was so light and delicious. Why does nobody make Pavlovas anymore 😞. We will definitely be returning. Thank you

The pub's appeal is hindered by a consistently unwelcoming experience, particularly due to the condescending behaviour of one of the lady staff members. This has made me hesitant about frequenting the establishment despite being a local resident, as I know many others feel the same way in our area. She is rude, condescending and unwelcoming. I, my friends and family will not be returning. Such a shame. It’s a shame, as with a welcoming staff and good hospitality this place would be perfect. She is simply not suited for a customer service role.
