The Manifold Inn Restaurant & Bar in Staffordshire Moorlands

Bagged a dinner table in the warm and cosy bar area which had a roaring fire. Friendly welcome from the staff and a good atmosphere with plenty of locals, and a tug-of-war team from a neighbouring village. Food and drinks good again, particularly the gammon which was a winner amongst the group. Well worth a visit and a place we will be revisiting when around Hulme End. Dog friendly too.

Excellent service, welcome, accommodation, pub and fantastic food. We went for a weekend away to relax for our wedding anniversary and a 60 th birthday, do not plan on weather system Bert joining us. The room was clean, warm and had everything you need for a stay, in a converted building across from the pub. The pub was dressed for Christmas and the dining room and bar area was very clean with roaring fires. There was a very small issue with the weather on check out morning due to weather system Bert, that was handled so well by the staff. Last but not least the food Amazing well thought out meals cooked to perfection, already planning our return without Bert to explore to area better

Decent range of beers, good pub grub menu at reasonable prices. Pleasant staff and the food was hot, fresh and very decent portions. Gammon was lovely as was the steak and ale pie with plenty of gravy and the chips. Roaring fire and very pleasant atmosphere. Well worth a visit if living close by or visiting the area. Dog friendly and plenty of parking around the back.

Good quality and slightly better than normal 'pub grub'. This is a very good place to eat when in the remote Peaks. We went back a second night!

We did not stay in the accommodation we stayed at the camp site across the road, bar area was cosy but not to busy in the afternoon early evening. We ate here several times, the food was very good and portions were large

Absolutely fabulous !! The staff & locals are so very warm & friendly we was made to feel very welcome and our dog too . Highly recommend this pub if you in the area. Rich / gale / Storm

Had an amazing lunch at The Manifold Inn today. Fantastic food, great sized portions. The fish n chips was the size of a whale and a particular hit with our group.

After a day out hiking my friend and I were looking for a place to eat near our campsite for the evening, I found this place on google maps and phoned them to book out dinner. When the lady answers she was very unkind and sounded moody but I just ignored it.😞Upon entry to the pub there’s a little reception, where I was ignored for 20 mins before being told “you need to go to the bar” Then I went to the bar where I explained we had a table booked and the woman (who was clearly the one on the phone) was very rude before sitting us down. After about 15 minutes of waiting for someone to come over and take ever out drinks order… we walked out. This place is also very dirty and the carpet stinks🤢. I do not recommend.

Our family of 9 booked here for dinner whilst we were staying at the campsite across the road. We pre booked which made our order easier. We also went for lunch and drinks as well as breakfast. We all enjoyed our dinner. Service was good. We were accommodated for breakfast with no notice on our last day at the campsite which was a nice end to our holiday after putting down our tents. We would recommend

Arrived 10 minutes late after suffering from traffic due to the Buxton Carnival. Was told initially that the table was for 2 hours. The lady met us and was annoyed that we were late and was clearly upset with us. We had finished eating at 5:45 and the waitress came to let us know that we need to go in 15 minutes, that is 30 minutes before the time we were told we have. Ironically the food was great, but let down by poor service and a frosty atmosphere. As the customer service was so poor, the overall experience was poor Picture to show how in need of the table they were :-)

We came for supper here on a cold April evening; there was a roaring open fire in the bar, which suited us just perfectly! We ordered food and drinks at the bar. The food was ok, although we shared a portion of seafood scotch egg like things, which were fishy mashed potato in a very hard coat, not very pleasant. The warm fire however was great!

Had a 2 night stay and was blown away by the place. Staff were fantastic, Sam in particular is a credit to the place. The food was top notch, the lamb was incredible! Would highly recommend and will be back.

Popped in for a drink on our way past. Lovely cosy pub. Friendly staff and quick service. I would recommend to anyone and will be back to try out the menu.

I have visited here many years ago after doing the Manifold trail in the summer and it was very busy. We went to the peak district to have a drive and a nice walk in Dovedale. We live quite local in Newcastle under lyme. When we left home the weather was quite sunny and decent for a walk. Got to the peak district the skys were black and the heavens opened, We had a 16 month old with us so couldn’t do the walk so drove to here. We had a very warm welcome were seated straight away in the conservatory area and had the fish and chip deal. 2 small fish and chips with a pot of tea for £15 we both enjoyed our meal and the service was brilliant. Really nice cosy atmosphere although in the summer months it does get busy as there are many campsites surrounding it. Would definitely return and have recommended to friends and family.

We stayed at the pub for 3 nights this week as part of our anniversary celebrations. Thoroughly enjoyable experience and we will return when time permits. The accommodation was excellent as were all the staff. As my wife is coeliac, it was fantastic for her that there was so much gluten free choice available for both the inclusive breakfast and for dining at lunchtime or evening meals and all the food was excellent both for value and quality. Good atmosphere in the pub itself despite the weather being a little inclement, think it will be really humming when the weather improves and the spring and summer seasons really arrive with plenty of scope for eating and drinking outside.A little gem of a place and one that will be on our repeat visit list.

We booked to stay just one night while visiting the Peak District. The room was spacious and nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed and excellent shower. We booked to eat in the restaurant and as I'm gluten intolerant there was plenty to choose from on the menu and the food was excellent and of a really good standard. Our sleep was great and comfortable. Breakfast was again very nice,with a decent choice to choose from. My wife and myself both agreed we most certainly stop here again 10/10

Fabulous food & Great Service with a smile by the fab lady who served us in the conservatory all night! We had truly great food and were looked after by the lady waiting on and the bar staff. Thanks to the chefs/kitchen staff all our food came out piping hot and perfectly cooked. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely pub.

Beautiful Sunday lunch. All home cooked Beautiful surroundings with nice warm fire. Excellent service.

Walked here for lunch from a nearby village. Very friendly, great beer and great food. We had veg chilli loaded fries and cheese sandwich with chips. Would definitely visit again.

We were a party of 9 so had to pre-book and pre-order but the Manifold Inn provided great food and service with a smile from the entire team. It lashed down after we finished our dinner so we stayed on for the rest of evening until closing time.

Absolute lovely country pub, myself and My partner stopped off after a long days walk. Cant fault anything. Food and service was outstanding. Highly recommended. The steak is amazing,

Would rate 0 stars if I could. Went for a meal on the 17th June 2023 whilst camping across the road with friends. Booked a table for 6pm. We were seated fairly quickly and ordered drinks and food by 6.10. We then waited until at least 7.20 for food to arrive, it only arrived after we asked how long it would be. If such a wait was anticipated this should have been communicated to us when ordering. We ordered loaded fries with cheese, another with cheese and bacon, another with cheese and chilli and a chicken burger and chips. The food was not unpleasant, however, the chilli loaded fries gave one of the party food poisoning. This meant packing up camping in the middle of the night to get home and completely ruined our last night of our break away. I am completely disappointed in this and would recommend that the restaurant seriously looks into the hygiene and/or storage management of food.

We are staying at the campsite across the road and were advised to book a table as the restaurant gets busy. The weather is lovely so we enjoyed a couple of drinks outside before our meal. When the meal arrived my 10oz rump was accompanied by a small bowl of chips, 1 mushroom, half of small tomato and 4 small onions rings plus a very tiny bunch of water cress. The cost of this was £24. This alone was disappointing but as I started to eat my steak it was very well done and I’d asked for medium. I should have sent it back but we’d waited quite some time for it to come which meant my husband would have easily finished his meal by the time they’d cooked me another one - not what we wanted for a nice evening out. When we were asked if all was ok, I mentioned it was overdone and was told I’d ordered medium to well done. However when my husband paid the bill, it stated on the receipt I’d ordered medium. My husband pointed it out to the young man who just apologised and was clearly not about to be any more forthcoming. So …. my fault for not sending it back but I won’t be in a hurry to eat there next time we come.

We dined at this local pub when staying at the campsite across the road. Food was very tasted and well presented. Pub has a lovely atmosphere. Staff were pleasant, if not quite friendly - a little more from them would have given a 5th star!

Popped in for lunch whilst in the area. Great find. We have smaller appetites and the “smaller bites” on the menu were just right. Lovely food , great staff and fab music in background We will return

Had the most awful main course.. I’m celiac and asked for the Bean burger and I wanted something healthy. It was £16 hardly any food.The burger was deep fried and over cooked so I sent it back. They brought out another one that was undercooked runny and not to my tasting. I ate a few mouthfuls then left it. When the waitress came to collect out plate’s she never mentioned that I’d hardly touched it .. I didn’t complain again but I will never go back .. way over priced for the Burger the Dining room needed a good clean .. Extremely disappointed .,,,

We had a great weekend stay at The Manifold Inn. Our room was really spacious with a really comfortable (& large!) bed. The bathroom was equally spacious - wet room shower, freestanding bath! Nice choice of well cooked breakfast options and the restaurant menu was good with well kept beer. The pub was really busy with locals, dog walkers, people (I assume) from the local campsite so booking a table for a meal is wise! I’d recommend this if you want an enjoyable stay a lovely part of the Peak District, in great surroundings with really friendly staff who are keen to ensure you enjoy your stay

Very nicely situated near the end of the manifold trail. Stopped for a bite of lunch and a beer, staff very friendly, food nice too!

We stayed for two nights at the manifold inn in the Peak District. It's a little out of the way 10 miles from Buxton but there's local buses that stop outside if you want to leave the car behind & look at the views from the bus. The manifold inn is a friendly place with a bar, restaurant, & conservatory they welcome dogs. The bar area has lovely woodburners pumping out plenty of heat the full English breakfast is a perfect start to the day. We ate in the restaurant one evening & the food & service was very good. Our room was clean & tidy with a great bathroom.

Visited twice, once for tea once for breakfast, as we were staying down the road at a campsite. The evening meal was nice, though not many choices if you are veggie so we both had the bean burger which was flavoursome. The chips were lovely...

We spent two nights s part of a gift at this welcoming, friendly pub. The room was spacious and comfortable, and all staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast offered choices and traditional cooked breakfast was very good. On both evenings received at the pub. The food was good, plentiful and desserts were a treat. There was a decent choice of wine at reasonable cost and overall we enjoyed our visit to this country pub.

Had Sunday roast here. 2 x large £14 each - massive! Lovely friendly, helpful staff, very cosy with the fires on too. Would recommend.

We spent a great evening at the Manifold Inn last Thursday. Because I have problems with chorizo, the staff swapped it so I could have something else with the salmon. Everything about the food was brilliant and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We'll...

Lovely accommodation and friendly staff. Unfortunately waited an hour for beer battered haddock and chips, which came out shrivelled and over cooked. .

visited whilst camping at Bank house farm campsite! The hosts were friendly and the food was fabulous!

Lovely pub just not well run. No staff so could not offer any food unless you book well in advance!!

Thought i’d try the pub food, as i was aware of a change of menu. The food was good but not overly hot, definitely could have done with abit of a warm up.

Great location along the Manifold valley path. We went on a lovely sunny day and sat outside. The staff weren't especially friendly, but the service was fine and the food was good stodgy pub grub. Burgers served on chopping boards is always annoying though -...

Great food and great service will be back again. The staff was friendly and recommended some great dishes. Thank you!!!

Service not very good food small portion some items not available from menu, even though we were an early booking Had to collect own cutlery

Visited here a number of nights during our caravan trip. Lovely dog friendly bar, welcoming staff and the food was good too. Will certainly visit again.

Nice pub we came for a few drinks in the afternoon and went back for tea in the evening. We ordered fish and chips and steak and ale pie both delicious and home made we did order a side of onion rings which were forgotten...

On my friend’s birthday we had a lovely walk from Hartington we went to the Manifold Inn in search of some tea. As luck would have it it was steak night. We both had 12 oz rump steaks with all the trimmings. They were absolutely...

There's not really much more to say - service wasn't too shabby, the food was nice, a reasonable price and it was a nice enough space for meeting up with friends after they had been out walking. Would go again.

Visited on a wet and windy (early) evening for a bar meal. Despite the pub being busy and us not having booked, we were found a table immediately. Mushroom soup of the day was the best ever - compliments to the chef! Also had a...

We spent two nights in the coachouse (room 11) and it was excellent. The room was spotless with everything you could need for a stay. The bathroom was beautiful with a roll top bath and very efficient shower. We ate in the restaurant on both evenings and the food is very good. With a campsite across the road, the pub was pretty busy and could probably have benefitted from an extra pair of hands (or two) behind the bar. Breakfast was very good too but, again, would have benefitted from more that one person serving and clearing tables.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch here, the staff were excellent they looked after us really well. There was 12 in our party including two wheelchair users easy access. We had a meal here last year a little disappointed but this year it was brilliant.

The food was 1st class friendly staff very helpful accomadation 1st class nice atmosphere in pub the location is nice not far from the village hartington

We stayed in the camping site across the road and booked a table for dinner on the Saturday night. It was busy, glad we booked, but a good sign. The staff we so friendly and welcoming, and we never had to wait for long as we enjoyed started, mains and puds. The food was delicious, fresh meaty cod in a lovely light batter and a wonder stake pie. Not you bought in puff pastry topped pie, but a slab of home cooked plate pie crammed with steak and tasty gravy. We decided it was so good that we would have campers breakfast the next day. Opening at 8.30, it was very busy when we arrived at just after 9 on the Sunday morning. Again, the staff were friendly and welcoming and accommodated us and our two dogs. We were offered tea/coffee straight away and we didn't have to wait very long for our full English to arrive. And what a wonderfully cooked breakfast it was! I'm not exaggerating when I say one of the best I can remember eating out. Everything was freshly cooked and well cooked and tasty. We will definitely be back!!

Didn’t have a booking but dropped in after a day exploring the area. The pub was very busy but we were able to get a table. Food arrived quickly and was really good, very crispy batter on the fish and good size portions.

Stayed for two nights and had an evening meal on both occasions. Great staff and food. Great location for exploring the likes of Bakewell and Buxton.

This pub is ideally sited at the top of the Manifold Valley and next to a couple of camp sites. We took in a large group for food. The staff were great with the 8 noisy kids and the food was really quite tasty. I would definitely recommend this pub for a meal or a drink when staying nearby or passing through.

Came here by chance, surrounded by busy camp sites its always going to be busy. Carling £3.50 a pint. The lunch menu was very limited, and whilst we declined to dine, the food that came out looked very nice.

We loved this pub! We booked a table for 6 for dinner and to watch the football and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious - I’m a vegetarian and was so pleased to see a variety of options instead of the usual 1 or 2 choices! I had the Moroccan curry which was wonderful. My dad had the steak and ale pie and said it was the best he’d ever had (and he’s eaten many). All the desserts were amazing too - I highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was brilliant. The perfect end to a day of walking.

We were staying in the campsite across the road and basically ate here every day and it was lovely! They are always very busy so I would recommend booking in advance. The food was brilliant the staff are a bit run off their feet but always very friendly. Highly recommend for hood wholesome pub grub after a walk . The campers breakfast was great too !

Great food, large portions, good steak. Inventive menu eg mange tout and red cabbage in the seasonal veg portion. My wife loved it

Once regular lunch visitors pre covid, gave the place 5 stars, it is a lovely inn. However post covid and more difficult times for everyone we were quite disappointed about the lunch time menu. They no longer serve hot food at lunch time, serving a sandwich menu only. Also the service was slow 40 mins wait. A great shame as we as a regular party feel we shall have to be trying elsewhere and hope the Manifold can improve.

Mixed reviews of this place. It’s a lovely pub that has potential and the location is great, especially for campers! The campers breakfasts were lovely! However, we are in the midst of a pandemic so being served a drink with lipstick on the glass was concerning, as was the complete lack of wiping down of tables between one lot of customers leaving and the next arriving; we saw people having to clear their own tables of previous people’s plates and glasses etc. This brings me on to the service in general. We visited a few times during our trip and the service was extremely slow! It was busy but not overly so but my god, if you were lucky enough to get someone to take a drinks order you’d be ordering at least two rounds to make sure!! We went for a meal to celebrate my birthday and were worried when the family next to us said they’d been there three hours and had only just finished their meals because of the service. The family across from us were served a burger for their child that arrived with just the bun and no burger!!! Thankfully when our food did arrive it was good! All in all this is a decent pub, but the service most definitely lets it down!

We visited the Manifold Inn for a pub lunch on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, from start to finish we were left disappointed. We went to the pub the previous day to drop off some balloons and confetti for the table booked (a birthday occasion). When we arrived at the pub, we stood for a few minutes before someone acknowledged us. When the manager spoke to us, he then directed a member of staff to take us to the table and whispered 'let them know that we just didn't have time to do the table'. Much to our disappoint, the table had not been decorated. The table was in the conservatory which is VERY echoey and to make matters worse there was a table of 6 adults and a table of 6 children as 1 whole party. Once we released we were unable to hear each other on the table, we politely requested to move to the pub where it was empty. We were told that it was fully booked and although I suggested swapping our table with someone who is booked in later who may miss this party of 12, I was told it was not possible. So we were left not being able to hear each other/or shout louder than the party of 12 to be heard.side note: as we left the pub there were still plenty of empty tables.The food was poor. After an hour wait, my goujons arrived, which was 2 overcooked goujon pieces and a bit of salad. 45 minutes later, my order of small fish and chips arrived which had about 10 crinkle cut chips and a piece of fish that had more batter than fish. Also the size was the EXACT same as the child's portion on the table over the way. As for drinks, we had to ask for drinks multiple times because they were forgotten and it was difficult to get the servers' attention.Perfect as a 'oh well, there's nowhere else to go' kinda place but would not recommend if you have other choices.

This is a surprisingly large pub and clearly very popular. Staff were very friendly and there was a good choice of food. Also a good selection of beers. An enjoyable visit.

we went for walking after staying at charles cotton. we stopped at this pub . it was very busy with the camp site. Had to wait 30 mins for drinks . staff are lovely .one thing i would say every one should maintain the social distancing guidelines. Had nice local ale .

We went with the dog for dinner and sat outside in the plentiful seating areas. Shame as only two lagers and the one ran out but a testament to it's popularity. Good for the campsite people over the road.Can have great meals inside but just as nice were our meals in the garden of tasty burger and vegetarian option.

good food, lovely outdoor space, and temporary bar in the garden! perfect under the current situation, they have put themselves out to accommodate guests and visitors.

I’ve been coming to this pub for years. The beer is always excellent and the Wainwright’s is perfect and the accommodation, especially the cottage is always very comfortable.However, we had booked a table for Saturday night for a group of seven and the experience was not as expected.There were not many starters, we ordered 3 goats tarts, there was only one left, and ordered4 chicken pâtes but there were only 3 small portions left.We suffered a similar experience with the main courses. Only 2 sirloin steaks left, and no gammon, it was such a shame for this lovely pub. Our waitress tried her best, but the management were very laisse faire about the whole situation as we were ‘the last table booked’!The food we did get was very good as always, just a shame that they had run out of so many dishes.

We had such a lovely time, the staff were really helpful and friendly. The food was lovely and huge portions! The room was cosy and the bed was comfy. We will definitely be back! The dog had a great time and met lots of new friends too

Comfortable, clean, well-decorated room. Glad it had central-heating as the windows let in a good amount of draft - single-glazed - but this is an old Inn and to be expected.In the en-suite, the towel rail was very hot and on all night.Good, varied choice of food for breakfast. Had 2 evening meals there which we enjoyed - well-cooked and generous amounts.Only downside was that the shower tray in our en-suite (room 7) was very slippery when wet - a rubber mat would have been a good idea. We `reported' this to Reception upon handing in our keys.Would recommend this Inn

Never been here before. Walked to it on a Sunday evening(in the dark!) from Hartington.Pleasantly surprised. Beer was excellent and well priced. Friendly welcome and cosy atmosphere.Decided to go back the following day after a long walk for a bite to eat and a drink.Beer again excellent, and food also very good. Will be visiting again and will probably stay there too.

Amazing food, cosy and relaxing atmosphere, great staff. We had the fish and chips, would definitely recommend

We stayed for one night in the dog friendly room. Everything about our stay was lovely presented, warm and welcoming from the room to the breakfast and the staff were very friendly. Only thing I could fault about this b&b was the £20 supplement for having a dog stay. I found this was quite expensive. Overall a lovely nights stay.

We came here for a meal and it was great, we all had different mains: BBQ ribs, Beef Stew, Breakfast Burger and Chicken Tikka and they were all hearty portions. The pub itself was dog friendly with dogs allowed in the conservatory and bar. We felt very warm and relaxed just what you need after a long day walking!

We came here for last Sunday lunch big party of eight and we hadn't prebooked. The staff were very accommodating and gave us a table in the conservatory. Good idea to have small portions as an option although could be considered too small for a hungry walker! Nice selection of beers.

We stayed overnight in this pub on our way back down South from the Yorkshire Dales. It is next to the old bridge over the Manifold river in a small village. The heart of the complex is an old pub. You can eat in the bar or in the adjoining restaurant.I'm not one normally for nostalgia, but for me the meal was a trip down memory lane because I chose for my main meal haddock with chips and mushy peas. Although the main relevant point was that the fish was of excellent quality and nicely cooked with a crisp delicate batter, the whole thing was just the ticket for an Englishman visiting from Australia - quality fish and chips with its crowning glory of mushy peas.Memories of the home village way back with its 5 fish and chip shops! Of course, just to show I haven't entirely abandoned common sense, this would be entirely irrelevant if the quality hadn't been there. Just to reinforce the point about quality, my wife was very happy with her vegetarian lasagne. I thought the food was reasonably priced for the quality and the offer of small or large plates for some of the dishes was a nice touch. The beer was good and there was a good selection of malts at the bar.Continuing the whimsical theme, this was all topped the following morning at breakfast, when looking out the window at the pouring rain, I saw two huge cows trotting along the main road outside the pub, having obviously done a runner from their home field. A quick shout to the pub staff and the call went out to the local farmer. I assume the cows survived to tell the tale.We continued on our journey feeling all was well with the world.

Good pub grub with god service, all in a pleasant location. Menu is standard fare but it is well prepared and reasonably priced

Really nice polite staff. Very kind and helpful. Good selection of drinks. Outside area nice and dogs kept under control as I think no animal should be near people or food (just my opinion).

During our stay at The Manifold Inn, we decided to have dinner there one evening. I was delighted to find three vegetarian meals on what was a relatively small menu and opted for the Vegetable Lasagne. The portion was enormous (you can opt for a smaller plate if you wish) and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed our meal, the only downside was that when we went to the bar to pay, the lady who served us was very blunt and rude. She told us that splitting our bill 6 ways and paying by card was “a pain” and then gave us to her colleague to deal with. He, on the other hand, was very nice and there were no problems with splitting our bill or paying via the card machine.

Called here as we are staying for the week at nearby lodges. Passed it many times but never been in. Wish we hadn’t bothered to be honest, food was average at best. I had the fish and FROZEN chips which wasn’t too bad apart from the batter being slightly over done. My wife had a jacket potato and cheese of which had to be sent back which meant we didnt eat our meal together which was the whole idea of us eating out. If I’d have waited mine would have been stone cold. We sat in conservatory which in honesty is really grubby and certainly not where you want to be seated when eating. The blinds that can be pulled across to shelter you from the sun is absolutely disgusting and full of DEAD flys and wasps. Cobwebs in the corners and windows this is definitely an area of the pub where not to eat your food. Staff however are polite and helpful although no check back was done on our table nor was my wife asked if everything was ok when paying. No excuse for this really as it wasn’t a busy period at all and had probably only got another 14 covers in while we were there. More than likely will not return which is a shame because it is in great surroundings and looks the part from the outside but sadly that is about it.

We booked for 9 people for Sunday lunch whilst we were camping nearby. The roast dinner was excellent the the portions were very generous. The kids ham, egg and chips was an enormous hit. The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. Would definitely go back.

Visited recently for lunch whilst staying in a nearby village. We both had a sandwich. My beef and horseradish sandwich was way to big. Ok I know its unusual but I personally think sometimes less is more! Unfortunately the multitude of beef was a bit tough and I could not taste any horseradish! I realise it is not the fault of the premises but we were also pestered by wasps whilst sitting outside in the lovely weather on the day. My wife enjoyed her cheddar and pickle sandwich to be fair.

Friendly staff and excellent fare in this cosy pub that welcomes campers. We loved it. And I spent a very happy afternoon with a pint and a book.

First the rooms are very comfortable and clean. Great bed and good shower. The enterance into the room block we were in needed attention and our first impression was not good but we were releaved to find the room was nicely decorated etc.

We had a large group celebrating 40 years together and prebooked meals on Friday evening and Sunday Lunch since there were 14 of us.

The pub was empty when we got there, but got very busy, there was only 2 staff members working and they couldn't cope with the rush, we waited 40 minutes for dirty plates to be removed, asked for the dessert board but after waiting another 40 minutes we gave up waiting, there was no staff around to ask for the bill, so had to wait in the longest bar queue to pay

A warm welcome, attentive, friendly service and wonderful food! I chose the "small" fish, chips and mushy peas and it was delicious and the perfect size meaning I wasn't too stuffed to enjoy a dessert! I chose the Nutella cheesecake which was AMAZING! The best cheesecake I have ever had! I Sooo recommend The Manifold Inn restaurant!

Visited here for a pub lunch with friends whilst on holiday and was not disappointed. A great pub lunch menu with a specials board. Several vegetarian options which I was pleasantly surprised by. I had the brie and caramelised onion tart which was delicious. Friends had bangers and mash and lasagne respectively. Decent/normal value and good sized portions which arrived in good time and seemed fresh. The setting was beautiful and the pub room was very comfy. Dog friendly. Staff very polite and you felt at ease. Would return.

Had a very good dinner for a group of 6 adults & 6 kids. Everyone was well catered for & nice service. Reasonably priced too.

We were staying at the campsite close by. Enjoyed the steak and ale pie although it was quite rich and very meaty. The sticky toffee pudding was lovely with some fruit on top.

Had lunch when we arrived for our 2 night break. I had tuna sandwich which came with salad and coleslaw and hubby had roast beef sandwich both was lovely and very tasty, the bread was so soft and tasty. Also had an evening meal. I had the homemade steak pie, chips and veg and hubby had steak chips onion rings etc. Both meals absolutely lovely and very reasonably priced. Very good choice on the menu for hot and cold starters, mains, sweets and sandwiches. Dog friendly in the pub and conservatory not in the restaurant part which wasn’t a problem we ate in the pub so did a lot of other people dog or no dog. Apart from the menu there is also a menu for small portions as well and there was a specials board. Very busy and popular place and would highly recommend.

This is a physically attractive pub in lovely countryside. The bar has a good choice of real ales and had a couple of good stouts on tap as well as several decent pint of bitter.

Had a fabulous lunch with family and the dogs following a long walk. The conservatory was perfect to sit and eat together and the dogs could sleep under the table.

The fire was lit and the pub was warm and welcoming. Great service from the lads behind the bar and fantastic pub food. Great options on the menu to have a full meal or lighter option if preferred. We enjoyed the whale and chips and a delicious bread and butter pudding. Just what we needed after a nice walk at Dovedale. Afforadably priced. We will definitely be back. Thanks!

This was our first visit to the Manifold Inn in years after having stayed in the area frequently in the past. From start to finish, the whole meal was utterly disappointing.

The food here is good if a little pricey, the ales and wines are better though. If the weather permits this Inn has very good garden and forecourt areas. Can get busy due to the campsite opposite in the summer.

Ordered 2 meals and 2 side orders. Unable to eat all the food as there was about a dozen flies all over the side orders. When i told the staff she said they were sorry but there was nothing they could do about the flies in this hot weather. REALLY??

We had been camping at the local site and arrived at the pub at 6.30pm. They said that they were only taking orders for food from booked reservations at present and to check back in about half an hour to see if they could take orders. I of course would have understood, if half the restaurant had't have been empty at this point and at several of the staff weren't standing around having chats and drinking coke. So a little disgruntled we waited and were again told the same thing. We then asked if they would mind asking the chef if we could at least feed our two small children (i mean they wanted chicken nuggets) and they said no as this counted as a meal. They didn't even move from the bar to ask the chef.

Stayed here for 2 nights with my wife whilst visiting the Peaks. We paid extra for an upgrade to a larger suite in a separate building behind the inn. The rooms are recently redecorated and were lovely, great bathroom upgrades with walk in shower and huge bath. Room was very clean and high vaulted ceilings. Good breakfast included too. Would definitely stay here again.

We booked for four of us for Sunday lunch on fathers and were bringing two dogsx

While camping in Hulme End we called here a couple of time. Lovely food, good beer and very friendly staff. We even stayed for the pub quiz and were made to feel very welcome.

I have eaten at the Manifold Inn several times before but haven't been for about a year. It my be my memory playing tricks, but I'm sure in the main restaurant they have gone downmarket a little from 'restaurant/bistro' to 'pub-grub'. But, no matter, there's nothing wrong with pub-grub and I could have more carefully checked the online menu.

We had a meal here on a Thursday evening before Easter.

We booked a room and dinner at the Manifold as a venue for Dale walks. The pub feels homely, the beer selection seemed good (too many to sample them all), and the evening dinner was pretty good. They were obviously very busy this particular Saturday night, so service was slow, but all the staff were helpful and friendly so it wasn't a problem.
