The Ladybower Inn in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This place is just awful and the staff are plain rude. They are serving Pepsi from 2L plastic bottles and thought it was OK to give us the flat dregs from two almost empties.. then just threw the empties on the floor behind the bar. The drinks were as flat as pancakes but the prices was definitely inflated. When the food eventually came it was no better. Cold, undercooked and not worth the exorbitant prices. Needs a new chef and better trained staff. Avoid if you don't want ripping off !

Nightmare visit. After a nice walk around the area we parked here and intended to have lunch. We parked in the designated parking area and attended spaces and visited the venue where they advised they were very short staffed. The food that arrived was awful and barely cooked. The staff looked rushed off their feet. Outside benches were broken and a safety hazard. Our main issue was on the return from the venue we received a parking notice fine of £60. There were no signs for parking warnings as this was the pubs car park. There was nothing to indicate you need to inform anyone of your arrival and none of the staff had enquired about our parking situation. When we called to query the fine the staff member was rude. We did did receive another call back and the venue had had numerous complaints about the same thing as many other honest visitors had been scammed by the venue/parking company for the same issue. Apparently you are supposed to give your car REG number to staff. How are people meant to know this if there are no signs or nobody advised you of this? Is this intentional deception or genuine errors? if this is a venue error/staff issue then anyone affected should be refunded. There are much better venues in the area so i would advise to avoid at all costs if this is how they treat paying customers. venue was also very dirty and unclean

It's sometimes hard to be objective and make sure the review is balanced, but if you can find the good in this pub then you're doing better than we did. It was awful right from the beginning and we should have known better than persevere. There were very few folk in there as well, and that was the second warning as it should be busier than that on a weekend. The waitress was as miserable as sin and couldn't hear what we were saying. No wonder, because chef had his 80's playlist blaring out from the kitchen so loud that no one could hear anyone else speak. The food took an ice age to arrive and when it did it wasn't worth the wait. Tiny portions with hardly any chips and it was colder than a corpse in a snowstorm. It takes real skill to get triple cooked chips burnt and cold at the same time. Over £50 for two cold stingy bar meals and a couple of drinks is just taking the mick. Needless to say we now understand why it was empty.

Outstanding roast beef lunch followed by chocolate fondant. Way above an average pub lunch. Highly recommended. Very friendly service.

The roast beef Sunday dinner was nice enough although as a table of four we had the same amount of veg as the table of two next to us. The vegetarian roast dinner was just vegetables and nothing else which was disappointing. The Yorkshire puddings were great although there wasn't enough gravy for my liking so I asked for more and we were charged £3.50 for it!
