The Hanging Gate in High Peak

Always excellent to eat here. Affordable a d large portions

The place is amazing. The Xmas decorations are totally bananas but great fun! Servers are very kind and polite. The menu is so big it would make Gordon Ramsay angry! 🤣

Food was fabulous, drinks a little pricey though

Went here for breakfast! Food was good, portion size was great! Would definitely go back! Also loved the Halloween decor 🎃🧙‍♀️

Very good meal. Excellent portions good service and very pleasant staff. Would recommend the hanging gate for service and a good meal

Absolute hidden gem, lovely staff, very attentive. I never eat different from there, always have the t-bone, and it's beautiful, Halloween and Christmas are magical, they really do push the boat out. Keep up the fantastic work, guys. Thank you so much 🤓💙

First time visiting today & unfortunately won’t be coming back. We brought the kids for tea & to see the Halloween decorations. The place was fully kitted out in decs , good effort . However the food was horrendous. I was shocked what got brought out to us, kids nuggets looked freezer burnt , the kids pizza looked & tasted so unappealing, sooo thick in cheese- not good. The chicken curry .. well .. honestly I’m more annoyed at myself for not voicing my opinions , however it was horrible! I couldn’t eat it , ive had far better pre packaged food that cost a 1/3 of what we’ve paid. £55 for 1 adult meal / 2 kids & drinks. Wasn’t good. Staff did seem pleasant enough , especially the 2 young girls . Such a shame about the food.

Fabulous atmosphere the dining area was decked out with all Halloween decorations and looked fab. Waiting staff were really friendly and helpful too.

I have been here 100s of times now. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, service is top notch and always willing to help you out. Food is absolutely faultless. I have never had 1 meal for the hanging gate where I wasn't happy. The steak pie is my favourite and the syrup sponge cake. Everything is home made just how you want it. Price is fantastic for what you get. If you have not been here before please make sure you go. You will not regret it. 10 out of 10

Outstanding delicious home cooked food. The lamb was to die for and the Veg fresh and crunchy. Can I please add the large portion of home made Cheese Cake should win awards.

Went here for a family birthday meal & there was so much choice on the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meals which were very generously portioned & reasonably priced too. Would definitely go back!

Ordered a chicken curry for £15 and when it came it was just chunks of chicken in a dodgy chip shop curry sauce. Other food we ordered was very average and nothing to get yourself excited about

Amazing food , great prices and your plate overflows.been many times now ,never fails to impress .I've yet to have a bad meal . Brilliant staff ,just love the place. Warning ,the puddings are massive , go hungry

Called in on the off-chance, having travelled back from Fort William to Chesterfield, previous two visits it had been closed. Glad we did, the food was lovely and, as previous visits, plentiful. Staff are friendly and efficient. Will definitely return when next in the area. Great traditional pub with pleasant atmosphere.

I took Mum for lunch on a Monday, and although it was quite empty, the service was great, and everyone was friendly. Food choices and prices were also excellent.

We had a great family reunion.Thank you to all the staff.

Excellent food, steak pie to die for! Impeccable service and fantastic value for money. Good options on the Kids menu too.

Wow...needed a good breakfast before a 10 mile walk...and boy did we get it...I had the full English which was plenty enough for me, my mates all had the Bonanza which was even bigger.

Good location to explore peak district Staff very friendly and helpful Food reasonable and good portions Stayed overnight in the Moho Hassle free

We are definitely going back here again when we are next down in the area. First class in every way,, very clean,,, first class service from the staff and awesome food

Lovely food and plenty of places to sit. If you are walking in the area, you can pass this place after walking past the reservoir.

Been a few times over the years, but I’m afraid won’t be going back. It’s a real shame, but food was poor quality frozen processed chicken curry with no flavour, cheese and onion ‘flan’ had soggy pastry! Veg was frozen. whole meal had no flavour, Thursday lunchtime the place was empty, I did mention to staff as I was paying, she said that it was roast chicken, but it was in cubes!! She said she’d pass it onto the cook. I would suggest reducing the menu and cooking homemade meals.

Saw the place while passing so stopped in, party of four plus two dogs. We were warmly welcomed, staff were friendly, food was freshly prepared and came quickly. Plenty of parking and inside area space to accommodate dogs. They have a part of the menu especially for vegetarians. I'd definitely recommend stopping here and would come again if in the area.

Jul 2024 • Friends Fantastic welcome and service! We were a group of seven who were staying at the nearby campsite and we wanted to dine and watch the England game. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff (especially the young bar waitress, sorry didn’t catch your name). Food was very good and enjoyed by everyone but most definitely the friendly service made our visit an enjoyable evening. Hospitality just as it should be…five star service *****.

Gorgeous country pub, been wanting to return here for years and finally managed it. Friendly staff team, great menu choice with good sized portions at very reasonable prices, and special offers. Older worlde style building which I love and will be back at Christmas time to see the decorations 😀

Mahoosive portions. Awesome food. Cracking staff. Just been in again. Another massive steak. Just awesome. Another visit today for another big steak! Had the ultimate burger today. Without frys and the bun. My wife had the most awesome profiteroles. Great 3 course deal at the moment. Another awesome and mahoosive steak.

What a great meal.. I was told you would not believe how good the food was. They were not kidding. Plus Very reasonable. Will go again.

Lovely food, nice and hot the staff very warm and welcoming just a great place to have a meal.

Went for Pensioners 3 Courses at £15.50 Worth every penny Plenty to eat and was not "skimpy," like other places.Also pjenty of choices. Bit quiet at Lunchtime hence no armodphere. Service good and food hot

Only people in and ordered the seniors meal. No flavour at all. If this is what the seniors meals are like I wouldn't bother.

First disappointing meal we've had here....pastry on steak pie was rock hard on top and soggy on the bottom. Potato and leek bake was not good.....just halved small potatoes, hardly any leeks covered in masses of bland greasy cheese!!! And to top it all the chips were only just cooked through and very dry...... Maybe because it was Monday?

Excellent choice of vegetarian dishes, main courses came piping hot.

Fine traditional pub in every respect, very friendly staff.

Lovely food. Home made steak pie was excellent. Good selection of lagers. Good friendly service. Dog friendly as well. Decent carpark. Great lunchtime experience.

Myself and my wife had our Wedding reception here 25yrs ago which was on the 24th of April 1999. So it was only fitting to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary here. The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish the Staff were fantastic they went above and beyond to make our evening special and one that we will never forget. We had Starters,Main and or course a pudding. The portions were huge, to the point I couldn't eat all of my main and I wanted to save a little room for my Apple crumble and custard delicious.

A real nice place. And nice food. And kind staff.

Nice food, friendly staff, would recommend.

Superb breakfast had here. Service excellent and friendly. Dog friendly too.

Myself and my family love this place especially at Halloween and Christmas with the decorations. Very friendly staff and The food is always nice, I only have one criticism the last time I ordered a Sunday lunch I was given boiled potatoes and lots of them, felt like I was back in the 70’s 🫣 will be back but will make sure I state no boiled spuds thank you ☺️

They always make a fantastic effort to decorate the pub at Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc

Great staff and fantastic food. Highly recommend steak pie, roast beef dinner, bacon and cheese burger. Trifle , chocolate sundae, banana toast waffle. Amazing.

Great food and service 👌 wide range on menu so something for everyone

Always a great meal. You can't beat the steak pie. 5 star

Food was really disappointing. Very basic and no attempt to make it look palatable. Sausages overcooked and rock hard, plates too small. However service is pleasant although a little hard to track down at times.

Great place lovely food plenty of choice and very reasonably priced. Very big car park. Well worth a visit.

Great pub to go at Christmas, decorated to an unreal level every year. Food is generally really good, prices are creeping up a little bit however.

Great food. As always. Has gone a little pricey.

Went for Christmas meal great atmosphere and decorations always out do's them self's each year friendly and helpful staff

Fabulous place, I've never seen decorations like them. We were a table of 14 and the service we got was great as busy as it was. The food was fantastic, we will definitely be back in the summer as we are not local, but this place is well worth a visit and if you have children a Christmas visit is a must they will love it. Many thanks for looking after our party so well, lovely friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble, 5 star service 😊😍😊

Great atmosphere, amazing food and Decorated beautifully for Christmas

Food was lovely . Very Christmas atmosphere with Christmas music my little boy loved it . We was in a group of 13 on table and food arrived quick and tasty 😋 free on site parking brilliant

Went on a whim for breakfast and they managed to fit us in as they were booked up for dinner was absolutely lovely my only complaint was the mushrooms wasn't hot enough didn't complain as it wasn't a problem

Very busy place, warm and friendly staff

Good place for food, and drink 🍸

Nice place to meet family and friends, good service, varied menu, and good value.

Bread stale, prawn cocktail should be shrimp cocktail, lamb not cooked, veg hard in centre, steak fatty, chips over done, trifle watery. Everyone ill about 2 hours later. Waitress staff though are very nice and an asset to the place. Place spotlessly clean, decorations on par. Come on kitchen the food needs to be a lot lot better for the prices your asking. Disappointing for £120.

Booked a table for 8. All food was served hot and on time. Everyone was pleased with their dishes. The Christmas decorations are amazing!

A fantastic job on their famous Christmas decorations. A must see. Food excellent and lovely staff. Well worth a nice drive to Chapel en le Frith to visit this cosy pub.

Upon arrival, the restaurant's exterior was as unassuming as a wallflower at a dance, but at least it had more parking spots than a shopping mall on Black Friday. We booked in advance to avoid the heartbreak of culinary rejection and were greeted by an entrance that felt more like stumbling into Narnia than a dining establishment. 🚗❄️ Inside, it seemed the decorators had mistaken the place for Santa's workshop, as tinsel, baubles, and Christmas cheer had erupted like confetti at a New Year's Eve party. Watch your noggin, though; the abundance of bubbles hanging from the ceiling could be mistaken for a festive meteor shower. ☃️🎉 Now, onto the menu – a tome so vast it makes "War and Peace" seem like a haiku. Deciding what to order requires the patience of a saint or the indecisiveness of someone picking a Netflix show. Once you've made your choice, though, prepare for a taste sensation that might not send you to the afterlife but could certainly make you consider it. And fear not your wallet's demise; the prices are as gentle as grandma's hugs. 💸🍽️

I took my family, along with my mum and dad here for a birthday treat and it was lovely all decorated for Christmas, friendly staff and the food was lovely as well comes highly recommended from me and will definitely be back 🙂

First time I've ever been today and I was blown away by the Staff, food and atmosphere is just incredible! 6 stars if I could.

Halloween and Christmas decorations brilliant

A lovely lunch in a Christmas atmosphere . Staff were great.

First time! Amazing Christmas decorations and friendly service. would highly recommend for families.

Food was excellent and an enormous plate full. Christmas decorations are amazing. Dog friendly too

What an amazing Christmas experience! The pub is decked with loads of decorations. Service was quick and very efficient, but pleasant too. Food was really good. Well worth the trip there (from Sheffield).

Really good homemade food. Reasonably priced. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I don't like skin on chips. They overcome this by having a bag of no skin chips. The pub is decorated, expertly, for Halloween & Christmas. Highly recommended for a visit.

What a wonderful, amazingly decorated place to have a drink or meal..welcoming, attentive staff, homely cooking and a great festive feel..

Cant wait for our next visit. Fabulous food. Lovely warm welcome. Wonderful atmosphere.

A friendly pub with plenty of seating. Staff are always helpful. The food is always nice, with good portions, they also cater well for Gluten and Dairy free diets. There is a range of beers and soft drinks. Usually busy especially when it is decorated up for Halloween or Christmas. Best to book a table. Great views from the pub of the surrounding countryside. Always worth a visit.

The food was lovely, the services was a bit slow but OK.

Went for Halloween. Absolutely fantastic!

Only had coffee and toast but we were looked after and the decorations are great.

Great food, lots of choice on the menu, attentive staff. Great display of Halloween decorations. Highly recommend

Halloween visit.it was very busy but the staff were on top of everything, even changed our table when my daughter was scared of the clowns.fabulous experience

Solid pub food, very accommodating and always excellent decorations for events!

Always a pleasure eating here even in a large group. The decorations are loved by the kids and makes an interesting meal - I hate to imagine how long it takes to put them up. Very reasonably priced and good quality food. Staff always friendly despite us bundling in with an army of little ones. Keep being awesome!

The food was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us looking forward to going back for a nice Christmas meal and to see the Christmas decorations they did a great job on the Halloween decorations

Found it expensive for the quality of food

The Hanging Ģate is all decorated for Halloween absolutely amazing this a great place to go with the kids for a meal prices are really good and food fantastic 😈🤡👍

Great meal fast service well looked after

Everyone pleasant and polite, made you feel welcome. Food was very nice, a little to much on the main meal, Good value for money.

Food was ok. Service very slow. Got my drink wrong. Asked for non alcoholic larger, got the alcoholic one. Luckily I wasn't driving.

We used the Hanging gate to provide catering for my Daughters wedding, this was at a different location near to Chesterfield, the service and delivery were excellent, the food was outstanding, catering well for a few of our guests with specific dietary requirements, the portion sizes did not disappoint either (as always), I have been to the hanging gate for a fair few meals and it has never disappointed, I can now highly recommend the catering service as well, thanks for helping make my Daughters wedding special.

Just the best food perfect great staff will always come back

Exquisite 19th century country pub in the High Peak serving delicious traditional food and with lovely staff

Reasonable pub grub food, steak pie and chips & veg. Good hearty plateful. Staff really pleasant and polite plus good pint of John Smiths. Price point about right.

Fab food and loads of it. Lovely pub with friendly staff

Food is brilliant very nice 👌 staff very nice.clean pub.

Just can't fault it. Compliments especially to the chef and all the staff. Couldn't afford regular visits but would definitely return.

I’ve visited a few times over the years - when spending time with my Father. I’ve watched the place steadily decline. The quality of ingredients has dropped - considerably, the focus has dropped, the “localness” has plunged. I think the icing on the cake was being told last weekend- when I popped in for a drink - “We’re a food pub, not a drinking pub”. Based on the brown lettuce, and other out of date “just get _something_ on a plate” supper I had there a month ago, they may have put their hat in the wrong ring. If your only need is piled high cheap food, you’ll be laughing. The young waitresses do their best but, frankly, someone has managed to run this place into the ground. Sad. Very sad.

We stopped here for lunch during a drive out. The food was very decent but, honestly, I expected more from an old country pub. There was no real atmosphere, the music was bog-standard radio style - I'd wanted to show off English country pub meal life to my American husband but it was, unfortunately, nothing special.

Great staff great food..we took mum there here favourite place many thanksxx

Had a lovely steak dinner, cooked as requested, staff very friendly and polite, will definitely come back.

No problem finding a table friendly staff excalant menu lots to choose from allday pensioners menu, food served very hot nice meals

Busy pub / restaurant with plenty of parking available to customers. The building is a very old building with many small rooms with low ceilings which give it real character. The food on offer at breakfast was ample, a little on the unhealthy side though but each to their own.

Brilliant...Go for the 3 course set menu for £23.95 its Ace..And the service was fantastic...

Wonderful place for my 75th birthday party

The roast dinner is amazing worth the money! The staff are helpful and friendly. I would definitely be back

Large portions and very good pub food
