The Lathkil Hotel in Derbyshire Dales

Came across this pub/hotel following a walk. Fantastic views and scenery. Great selection of beers and food was excellent and the staff and service was faultless. Would recommend a trip

A present from my son for our 35 wedding anniversary through “buyagift” he paid £80 we paid £80 to Lathkil so £160 for one night b&b. Very poor quality, Everything was very old and had been just given a coat of paint, the carpets had been cleaned to within an inch of their lives. Bedding was however immaculate, but room looked out over a very small car park, earliest we had ever been to bed 10pm. The well dressers were in for a meal, so I’ll put the very very poor food down to how busy they were. Beautiful scenery, but wouldn’t recommend only for a quick drink whilst admiring the view. Expensive for poor quality. Staff friendly enough, will not be going back.

We booked for a Saturday lunch for four. We enjoyed vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes and good beer. It was clearly a very busy and popular place with unbelievable views from the terrace. Would go again.

Escape the crowds and come here for lunch on a busy weekend! Beautiful views, walks and nice outdoor seating. Food was nice and good selection of drinks. We were so relieved to find this place after braving Bakewell on a bank holiday weekend - it was hell. But this place helped chill us out!

Stopped for lunch after a walk in the surrounding area of Lathkill Dale. Ideal place that offers fabulous views while enjoying a delicious hearty meal. Good choice of dishes from light lunches to filling main courses. Opted for the smoke cheese, salami and mustard mayo burger with fries - delicious! And very filling. Portions are generous and good value for money. Drinks include a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages from the bar plus teas and coffees. Opted for one of the real ales, which suited the meal perfectly. Overall a very enjoyable lunch with an amazing view of Lathkill Dale. Well worth a visit.

My daughter paid for a night way for me for my birthday.... FORS :- Lovely staff, peaceful location, nice room eventually, reasonable food. AGAINST:- Upon arriving we were given our room. When we looked it over we were disappointed because it only overlooked the little carpark. We were the only guests at the hotel so I went and asked if we could change the room for one with a view. I was told that this wasnt possible because all the other rooms were being refurbished, I went back and told my lady friend the bad news, A little later my partner went and ask again if we could change rooms if we paid extra ? Miraculously two minutes later the receptionist came to us and told us a room was available only if we paid £25 extra. My daughter had paid £80 and we paid the extra £25 so in total they got £105 per night in total. To be honest I've stayed at better hotels for a lot less. We will NOT be visiting the Lithkil Hotel again.

Welcome return after new year break. Great menu and the food was excellent, service so friendly and a great atmosphere.

This is a special establishment. The team are always friendly and engaging and the service is always assured and excellent. Great home cooked food and always a great choice. This plus the amazing views makes for a consistently great experience

Stopped in here for a quick beer before returning to the local campsite after a day’s climbing. Lovely pint of ale. Friendly bar lady and patrons. Proper ‘old school’ hotel bar. Love it!

I had put this on my plan for the day we arrived as it was the closest pub to our campsite (Lathkill Wild Campsite which is stunning!) We wandered down (about half an hour walk) only to find the venue doesn't open on a Monday! our fault for not checking! When we returned on the Thursday, we had a lovely drink. The venue has beautiful views. The bar lady kindly let my husband charge his mobile phone, The restaurant was busy- it was their quiz night. Toilets were clean, service was good and they were dog friendly. Ticks all the boxes and will return again when in the Peaks next.

great view, lovely staff, very kind and good ales. Good menu is varied but not excessive and food looked to me home made and tasty. Not very crowded. Can’t ask for more!

Just returned from a lovely new year break at the Lathkil Hotel. Great value for money, a comfortable room, good food, selection of real ales to work through and most of all warm, friendly, professional staff. We hope to make this a regular rendezvous.

Just back from a three day stay at this lovely hotel. From the moment I contacted the hotel at the time of booking till checkout today the whole experience was just exceptional. Every member of Staff were all friendly and very attentive to our needs. Rooms had everything we wanted and the view was to die for!! We had three lovely breakfasts that contained beautifully prepared ingredients and delicious. We also took part in the Wednesday night pub quiz with a Pie and a pint ( I had a gin) had the beef and Stilton pie and the meat was succulent with a lovely flavour of Stilton, accompanied with big chips and peas! Very much old school but delicious! Will we be back? Most definitely. Thanks again x

16 of us went here on Sat 16 July 2022 for an 80th birthday celebration lunch. Pre-ordered and each one was correct (we had a lot of allergies to cope with!!). Had a long table by the window with great views of the dale. Staff very friendly and we had a wonderful time. Thank you to all the staff for making the day so special.

Ate at the hotel when we were staying in Over Hadden. Decided to eat on the following night as well, to discover it was Pie Night. Fully recommend the pies, and good choice of beers on tap.

Enjoyed a lovely evening meal with family. Great choice of very reasonably priced pies. Also beautifully cooked large and tasty trout. Dog friendly. Good varied selection of beers.

Visited for the Pie Night and we were not disappointed. Variety of pies on offer and our group tried a selection. Beef pie and the lamb pies were the favourites. Good beer and good service. Worth a visit even if the cost of the Pie Night deal has risen 10% since pre-lockdown.

Twice visited during our week in Youlgreave ( once on foot). Great position and views, welcoming and efficient service and good pub food.

Popped in for a few drinks and to obviously take in the view, it’s stunning! Decided to eat and wasn’t expecting much, we were pleasantly surprised. Soup, homemade pie, crab cakes & burger all tasted lovely and very reasonably priced. By no means fine dining

We ate at the Lathkil Hotel today outside under the awning. We were 15 minutes late for our booking having walked 5.7 miles and had no phone signal to contact the hotel, however the restaurant had kept our table. There is no online ordering, it is all table service. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks to be taken, and tables seated after us had food and drinks orders taken first. One couple at a table adjacent were actually ready to leave having waited so long for service. Drinks were slow being delivered to the table, however all were correct. The food was cheerfully delivered and good portions. The beef lasagne however was disappointing and was significantly more pasta and tomato than mince. The pizza, quiche special, fish cakes, burger and BLT were enjoyed however we were not offered any condiments and none were on the table. Other tables were getting quite frustrated at waiting for the bill and to pay after their meal and eventually went and stood at the garden till which then caused a que of other parties waiting to leave. Families with their children then stood and blocked the garden stairs waiting to get in, making it difficult for other parties to leave with without physical contact when passing, let alone any form of social distancing. The food was generally good, staff were polite, but the organisation needs to be worked on.

Wonderful to return to eating inside at the superb place. After enjoying superb take away Sunday lunches while in lockdown it is great to be eating in the restaurant again. The team are so friendly, the menu is great and the food is freshly made and very tasty.

We have had take away Sunday lunches throughout this latest lockdown. The food is absolutely superb as is the welcome and service. Can't wait to dine out properly soon here.

This is a very special place. The team are attentive, professional and friendly. The menu is varied and the food is of the highest standards

After a bracing walk along Lathkil Dale from Alport, the walk up from the Dale bottom to the Hotel really worked up an appetite.We were treated politely, by the friendly staff, who'd really worked out about the appropriate precautions. The menu offered a good choice, and there was a good range of decent beers. We were all seated outside in a covered area, so we had a great view while we ate. The food when it came, was well cooked, very tasty and plentiful, and even outside of the "help out " scheme, well priced.

Served by a team of enthusiastic young staff this was a very decent meal. The view from the restaurant is fantastic. Our family visited because it was so convenient to our cottage. Simple home cooked food to a high standard. Plenty on your plate, no need to visit the takeaway after this . I had the pie of the day followed by apple crumble and custard. My children had scampi, chips. Sweets were varied classics, Crumbles, ice creams, choc cake and cream. Don’t expect refined french cuisine at the hotel, but what you get is good food, cooked well..

We have called at this pub for lunch on walks for a number of years despite the food being verya average. The views made up for it. However it was a pleasant surprise to fine much improved food. The sandwiches had good ciabatta rather than the air bread of the past. Slaw home made and good, home cooked ham and good salad. The summer fruit pudding, also home made, was to die for- absolutely outstanding.Keep it up

Currently the bar area is closed but the restaurant more than made up for it. Well spaced tables and excellent views across the dale. Service was very good and the place felt very Covid safe. Food, as we have previously found was excellent. We have visited for Pie Night but currently there is just pie of the day. Quality beef and ale pie, excellent all round. Good selection of local ales too. A place certainly to revisit.

We stayed here whilst walking the Peak Pilgrimage last year and remembered the superb pies so booked to visit again with friends this week. After a damp day the views over the surrounding dales were spectacular and all from the comfort of our dining room table. The pies were excellent again: lots of tender beef, a good ale gravy and crisp shortcrust pastry. No choice of pies at the moment - we hope the pie night will be reinstated when pandemic days have passed. I often forego dessert but the star of the meal was the summer pudding - the best I have ever tasted - a generous variety of delicious tart fruit with just the right amount of bread. Thank you for a memorable meal - we wish we lived in the area!

Modest pub/hotel serving modest meals, and a good selection of real beer.Friendly young waiting staff were a plus

This pub popped up on my Waze app so I investigated! It's very out of the way but worth the trip as it has lovely views. Chicken curry and lasagne both good, honest, tasty pub fayre and the staff were friendly and helpful. Worth a visit. We also benefited from the Eat Out to Help Out scheme so our bill with 2 beers was only £15!!

After reviews we booked for dinner on Saturday 22nd August. We appreciate times are difficult with Covid 19. The food and service was disappointing..

I visited the Lathkill Hotel for a meal after a long day of walking the peaks. The food was as expected of a traditional pub and tasted good - although nothing stood out as memorable. The staff were very polite and friendly, and all COVID-19 guidelines were being adhered to well.

Booked an outdoor table on a warm August evening with Stunning views of Lathkill Dale. Very friendly and helpful staff serving tasty family friendly food. Tables were very well spaced apart and well organised for social distancing.

Nice food, well organised for covid. Good to be able to reserve an outside table. And very dog friendly. Great views of Lathkill Dale.

Came upon this establishment at the halfway point of our walk around Bakewell. Provided well earned sustenance and the view is stunning. Well worth a visit.

A delightful Sunday lunch. This place always delivers on the welcome, the service and the food. A wonderful tasty well presented meal of freshly cooked food. Very nice pudding as well. Amazing views as well. Highly recommended

A pleasant place, splendid menus and drink selection, very clean and warming, views for miles around

This country pub is unequivocally in my Top 5 in the U.K. Amazing views and a superb team. The freshly cooked food is very tasty and well presented. The choice is always good as well. A family run business that knows all about delighting customers.

Great views and lovely location. There is a sitting area outside, a restaurant and a bar. We had dinner here in the bar which is dog friendly. Nice selection of food, helpful and friendly staff. Recommend.

Was looking forward to visiting here while on holiday. The weather was lovely which added to the stunning views however the food was very disappointing. I has fish cakes which was hard and tasteless, hubby had lamb chops, when they arrived 2 little tiny ones on the plate. We ordered veg and new potatoes which were delivered in metal dishes full off water and tasteless. One veg was broccoli but honestly don’t know what the other was, was either cabbage or leeksStaff are lovely and in future think it’s a place to drink and admire the view

This place is in a gorgeous location with views to die for. Not only this, the food is fabulous too, and great value for money, with generous servings. A varied menu includes 3 vegetarian mains, and all mains come with a choice of relevant sides. I chose pea soup which was divine, and my husband went for pate. My veggie shepherd's pie and John's pie of the day were both enjoyed heartily. I couldn't manage a pudding but John had a pecan and whisky tart, an unusual choice which was very tasty (I was allowed a tiny spoonful to try!). We plan to bring a group of fellow walkers to dine here next year and know it will be just wonderful!

This hotel is in a wonderful position looking out over beautiful Derbyshire countryside. After a long wet walk through Lathkill Dale, this pub was a welcome sight. We had lunch there. Fairly basic soups & sandwiches but a lovely spot to while away a lunchtime hour before the walk back.

Had a mid morning coffee here a couple of days ago and decided to try an evening meal which we did today. A nice welcome we were able to have a window table with a wonderful view, albeit rainy, across Lathkil Dale and hills beyond. A good choice of beers and wine plus attractive menu list. We had venison & blackberry casserole and a traditional lamb chop with veggies. Both excellent. Nice sweet to follow. Good service and friendly throughout. Highly commended.

What could be better than sitting outside this lovely pub taking in the views whilst drinking an excellent pint of well kept pale ale!This is a lovely place really nice and relaxing whether you are stopping after a walk or a pleasant country drive. Highly recommend this place.

We visited this pub at lunchtime after a nice stroll through the surrounding countryside. Our parents had already been and said it was really nice but with a fussy eater in the group, we had to be sure. We got on and it was busy due to groups of walkers but we were still able to get a seat in the bar with our two dogs in tow.Selection of about 6 hot dishes, sandwiches etc. All sounded delicious and we were not disappointed. Delicious food, piping hot, lovely friendly staff, nice selection of drinks and amazing views. The desert menu too was just out of this world, could have eaten them all.The greatest compliment I can pay came from our 2 year old. She loves her food and she had the creamy veg crumble. In her words, it was even nicerer than her nursery's chicken crumble and she raves about this! She ate the whole adult portion so can't be bad.Next time we're in the area we are definitely going back.

Stayed here for two nights over Easter. Clean well appointed, good choice of food from the menu and excellent breakfasts. Good well kept beers and an excellent choice of gins. All delivered by young friendly staff.

We ate in the bar a couple of times during our recent stay in Over Haddon. The views from the Hotel over the dale is beautiful. It’s the perfect place after a long , or short, walk, such a lovely atmosphere, very relaxing. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food was good and there’s a great selection of gins and real ale as. It’s difficult to get a table in the bar, but people were happy to share larger tables ; a great way to make new friends! The restaurant is open Friday/ Saturday which provides more seating, but definitely advise booking. We hope to be back soon

The dining area overlooks a great view. It is dog friendly with dogs on a lead. There were four well behaved dogs in this lunchtime but another dog was brought in at the end of our meal and released from its lead and wandered around, including the kitchen. At which point we cut short our visit to avoid trouble. Our food was good, hot and delivered in good time.

Friendly and prompt service (I was early for lunch, and there were not loads of people about) but the food was great (I recommend the steak and kidney pie), hot and served with great beer. Just what you need before setting off back into the rain to walk down to the river.

Completely chance stop here for lunch on a lovely circular walk from Conksbury. Lovely cosy, snug bar with great views at the top of the hills. Tasty buffet lunch and friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful walk too

My husband and I spent the night at the Lathkil Hotel in March of 2018. The pub is lovely and the restaurant service was attentive and friendly in the fine dining atmosphere, and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Our room was very small but clean and comfortable. The view is worth the stay. It is gorgeous!!

This pub is a huge favourite within our family and we have been visiting for years!

Not visited for a while and what an amazing place. The welcome is assured and the friendliness from the whole team is most welcome. The choice of fresh food is tremendously and it tastes wonderful. The views are of course amazing. A truly wonderful country pub.

I like the ambience of this inn. The staff are accommodating and the pub and dining room is in a quiet spot that has a lot of charm. We had a lovely meal and stayed up late in the bar, was a lovely evening.

Very enyoyable meal, dog asleep under the table, and great views over the dales, just what atrracted us to the Peak District

We had a lovely meal here for our wedding anniversary recently. The location is stunning, with great views over Lathkildale. Will definitely be back.

A pub serving good beer and food that is tasty and good value with good sized portions is just what you want after a good walk. The Lathkill hotel gets it right and is a welcome rest stop in a fabulous location with views that are second to none.

Great location for walking from. The buffet meal was on offer the day we visited and had a lovely range of salads together with meat, fish or quiche. There were hot and cold options and it was fresh, tasty and offered great value for money.

We called here for lunch in the middle of a long walk. We were recommended by a walking magazine to stop here on route. The views from the patio were beautiful and did not disappoint. It was quite an old fashioned set up but this did not matter. We could choose from a fresh salad bar which was very generous and tasty. Would recommend.

Pre booked at table for Friday evening and was seated in the window overlooking a stunning view, service was great very attentive staff bring iced water to the table, my steak was excellent with the Stilton sauce and my wife enjoyed the lamb chops although the gravy was a little on the thin side. All in all a great experience thanks.

We always pop in here for a drink if we have been walking in and around Lathkill dale. The beer garden and outside area is a simple pleasure to relax back, walking boots off and let the view do it's wonders......soak it up by the bucket.

Wonderful view, a wooden plate of thirds of real ale and a lovely pie and chips. Couldn't ask for more and very friendly staff.

We stayed on 15th March. Our room was small but spotlessly clean and comfortable with a view to die for.

We were staying in a cottage in the Over Hadden village in the snow so only had the Lathkil Hotel for food...thank goodness....fantastic atmosphere, friendly service, great beers and fab gin menu...the menu isn't huge but more than enough and food was excellent on both nights. Served by George who couldn't have been more helpful, remembered our drinks choices from night before and fave us great walking route tips. A real home from home...lovely

We ate here on Saturday 23th December 2017 to celebrate an early family Christmas gathering.

Surprised that a small village like Over Haddon had an eatery open on a Tuesday we were ready for a pint and a bite. The pint turned out to be superbly kept real ale of which there was a selection. The bite was sandwiches and chips - very good and quickly served. Service then efficient and friendly in a place with a pleasant atmosphere that had no pretensions whatsoever - and of course the finest view of any pub we have ever visited. A place to add to your bucket list if you love walking in a beautiful National Park and if you have led a blameless life you'll end up there anyway because it is heaven!

Made very welcome in the pub and restaurant very enjoyable meal had by all. The restaurant very comfortable and staff very attentive. Lovely meal.

there is no better view from a pub full stop. Great location great pub right in the middle of the best bit of countryside on the planet

I went here as part of a large group. We met in the cosy bar area and were served by warm and friendly bar staff. We had pre ordered our menu choices and the starters were brought out as soon as we were seated. I think I can say that is was honestly the best pub meal that I have ever had. The starter, main and pudding were all amazing! The portions were very generous and there were extra bowls of vegetables and roast potatoes. All the staff were lovely and the service was fantastic. The pub has beautiful views and I will definitely be returning. I hope that my compliments are passed on to your amazing chef!

Stayed for 3 nights, BB and evening meal. There was an good selection to choose from on the breakfast menu and service was prompt and helpful. The evening menu was extensive for such a small place and the food was of excellent quality, attractively served. Think the rooms are a little pricey for the size- but the food was an absolute winner!

Ideal stop off on a walk around the surrounding area. We took in the beautiful views from their covered terrace. Whilst we didn't have a meal, the menu looked great with plenty of seating inside. We enjoyed a cream tea. The hotel catered for young families as we made use of the high chairs available. It's a welcoming place to all, including walkers with or without dogs.

My husband and I visited The Lathkil Hotel with our two dogs and were welcomed into the bar - if the weather had been a little warmer we could have opted for the garden. Both had terrific views.

Utilizamos este hotel como un medio camino encontrarse con otra pareja que vive justo al norte y al sur son. Nos alojamos tres noches.

Tuvimos una comida muy agradable con un buen servicio y una increíble vista de la campiña desde la ventana.

we used to stay here when Eroica was in Bakewell, we pedaled the 7 miles to revisit and it is still great.

I can only really comment on the bar, I didn't eat at the restaurant or stay over night, however the bar is small but cosy and nicely decorated. They have a decent selection of real ales that seem to change regularly

We stopped here for lunch in the middle of a long walk. Choice of bar was limited. We ordered filled baguettes. I asked for chutney with the cheese - none available. There was a "salad garnish" with the baguettes but tomatoes only featured on 2 out of 4 plates ? run out.Stunning view. Staff not over friendly.

Great day walking in spring sunshine back for a beer and a great lunch hospitality and great views of the area .good local beers and delicious food will love to come back here and stay over again !

Went on Sunday 30 April with my wife and 5 year old daughter. Lovely views and great reasonably priced food and drink. However what prompted me to post was the excellent service we received. This was especially so from the young lady who so quickly assisted when my daughter spilt her drink and replaced it for her. Service as it should be and nice staff .

I have only ever been there at lunchtime, but the lunches are very enjoyable. Last summer I called with my wife and a good friend on a glorious summer day and had lunch from the buffet. My friend, who is from the south, was in raptures. The views from up there are dreamy. Also there are some very drinkable beers and an extensive selection of gins (they do a gin of the week). Either on a walk or for a stop-off in the car it is well worth visiting.

Arrived here with friends after a gruelling round lathkill dales hike in the wind and rain. There was 10 in our group and the hot and cold buffet was most welcoming to all of us . All our plates were empty after eating the excellent lunch time buffet and the views of the Derbyshire dales from the restuarnt were breathtaking. I would like to thank all of the staff who were most helpful in making it a most pleasant lunch time meal for all of our group.

We called in on sat night I had a pint which was ok my wife had a gin and tonic,we were charged £2.25 which is way over priced. Also while we were there the rugby was on and there was a guy sat at the bar shouting and swearing at the television in a loud voice ,not once did he get told to be quiet a shut up completely I won't be going back in a hurry

We dropped in here as part of a round walk of lathkil dale a while ago, we walked out of the valley, up the steep hill and along to the 'pub' some great real ales on the pumps, Stunning views over the valley and friendly staff. I will be going again, very soon!

Stayed 7 Jan so quiet with New Year just over. Comfy rooms with fab views, great food & friendly staff. Also noticed the kitchen staff put real effort in for another couple who had allergy requirements.

We have been here quite a few times and always enjoyed it. Great beers and good walkers food. Fantastic views. The sun always seems to be shining on the terrace. Happy memories.

The food here was amazing, all freshly cooked to order......however, they don't start serving evening meals until 6:30....but you can enjoy a nice drink in the bar while you wait

When we lived in Bakewell in the early 80s the Lathkill Hotel in Over Haddon was our favourite pub. We had memories of log fires, dogs sprawling under tables, good beer and decent food. When we returned there this month it was with some trepidation. Would it live up to our 35-year old memories? Thankfully, yes! We arrived after a good walk along the beautiful Lathkill Dale which runs below the Hotel with two weary dogs (not to mention their equally weary owners) to find a roaring fire, a friendly welcome, and good food. Well worth coming back for!

We had a great stay here for the weekend. The food was good, room comfortable, views excellent and staff helpful and friendly. Lovely hotel, we will be back!

Ideally situated in the country with the rooms at the front of the hotel benefitting from the magnificent view over the Lathkil Dale. Excellent food and certainly a place that I will use again.

Lovely hearty pub meals. Beautiful views. Best to book though. Get some elderly groups. Lovely pies. Accommodation too.

We stayed at the Lathkil Hotel, seemingly at the top of the world in Derbyshire's Lathkill dale. The views from the front bedroom windows and the bar and restaurant windows are stunning, looking out over fields of sheep, the hill rolling gently down to the river Lathkill. Utterly relaxing. We took the two back bedrooms; had we known, we would have tried to book the front two! But the rooms were comfortable, if in need of a little brightening. Silly little pots of milk were replaced without fuss with a jug of milk. There were fridges in the rooms. Good quality evening meals are served in the bar area, also in the restaurant. Lunch is served from a wonderful buffet in the restaurant. The puddings are hard to resist. Breakfast is served in the restaurant, and there is a wide range of breakfast foods including kippers.Service is friendly and relaxed. We didn't use the car for our three day stay, and found many long and short walks around Over Haddon.

This place is so wonderful we came to Over Haddon last year and they had their first beer festival we loved it so much we came back again this year the music ,the staff and the food was wonderful it feels like our second home well done Alice and all the staff.

Myself and four friends went for our usual walk, lunch and especially a real ale at the Lathkil,as we have been doing for 20 years. Only to be told we could not have our usual hand pulled pint. We had to be satisfied with left over ale from the weekends beer festival. Straight from the barrel, warm and flat and £3.30. We voted with our feet and have now decided we will not darken their doors again, Youlgreave will be our future venue. A cynical disregard for the locals and regulars.

Worth it alone for the view.Friendly helpful staff, nice food. Not too easy to find, but that is the most interesting bit, the peacefulness!Oh, but the view. Wow!

What a fabulous location! A pleasant drink overlooking the best scenery within the UK. We could have spent hours just sipping wine/ale and gazing into a slice of heaven.

Stopped here for luncheon on recent trip to Derbyshire. Not the easiest place to find, but well worth the effort. Spectacular views from the bar or restaurant. Luncheon was a choice of hot or cold buffet. We settled for hot and my lamb was delicious, as was Sally Anne's venison. Good food at around £8-9 each. The beer; 5 on cask including locals like Peak Ales and Blue Monkey. All tried in good condition. Only criticism is that there could be a stronger or darker brew on for those staying in particular. Stayed here 6 years ago and enjoyed it. Happy to recommend.

My husband, myself and our 13 year old son, staying locally, decided to eat our first meal in Derbyshire here. The cosy bar was for drinkers only, disappointingly as one party of four were allowed to eat in there, so we ate in the restaurant which does have spectacular window seats which we were given. The menu is broad but didn't offer a wide choice for a fairly sophisticated teenager. Being vegetarian my choices on offer were better. The food, when it came, was excellently cooked, very hot using locally sourced ingredients especially the beautifully cooked courgette and Brie crumble. Puddings were plentiful and beautifully presented. The bill, when presented, had a small anomaly concerning the soft drinks we had had but this was soon rectified by the staff. I would recommend Lathkil to mid generation parties for a quiet, sophisticated meal out with spectacular views.

Beautiful pub with excellent views of the peak district,nice food and drinks ,very busy most morning and afternoon s.

Called in on a walk in the area it was like an oasis on a hot day four real ales and the view from the covered garden was superb,having drunk in many countries this view was hard to beat on a sunny day

We enjoyed an evening at The Lathkil with a good choice of beers that are fully detailed on the board, the food was excellent and not over priced and the view from the bar and the restaurant are magnificent.Friendly helpful staff also help to make this an enjoyable experience.
