The Manners Hotel and Pub in Derbyshire Dales

Very disappointing. We’ve visited here many times over past 10 years. Booked for two nights as we know how good it is and how booked up it gets. Really surprised to walk in to see mostly empty tables, one member of staff on shift trying to do everything and pub generally unclean. Tables not cleared, no welcome despite our booking - just told to sit wherever. There was an issue at another table which didn’t appear to be handled well, all seemed very tense and unprofessional. Quality of food has declined and portions small to average. Such a shame, needless to say we’ve cancelled our second booking and will head to the wheatsheaf where it’s a quality experience all around

Just had an amazing meal at the Manners ….perfect end to our weekend with friends in Bakewell. The food was home cooked and lovely and the staff are the best…..We will be back

Average food, took an hour to arrive, small portions for some meals, and no puddings at all. Nothing wrong with it but I’d go to the wheatsheaf instead!

We decided to try here as it's only a stones throw from where we live. It was shocking. When I rang for a table , he said not sure if we have room but pop down. When we got there, there were loads of empty tables. We ordered a roast pork dinner and a lamb burger meal. The meals came, and I was given roast beef. I said I wanted pork, he said sorry and I'll sort it. Came 15 mins later with 3 pieces of pork in gravy in a bowl. I told him I didn't want it. What a joke!! So I've got to take the beef off the meal itself and replace it with the pork. Bearing in mind it had been stood for 15 mins. The waiter said, sorry and I'll refund you and bought £16.50 to the table. I said we haven't paid yet. He didn't know whether he was coming or going. It was shocking!! I'd never return to this pub even for a drink!!

Awful experience!!! 1 rude member of staff ruined our night! Wrong food was served but I saw the disgusting treatment of another guest so kept quiet finished our food and left !!! Lots of places in bakewell that are friendly and welcoming , no need to go here and risk a level of abuse that has no place in any line of work let alone in the hospitality industry!! “LIFE IS SH*T ISNT IT” was his opening line….No wonder pubs are closing if this is the standard of service provided! Took unprofessional to another level!

Absolute shambles. Our booking was cancelled less than 24 hours before our scheduled overnight stay that we had booked 6 months in advance for our visit to Chatsworth house country fare forcing us to find an alternative hotel much further away at the last minute

Dinner and overnight stay, room excellent . A bit inflexible on choices, when j asked for wedges with my meal , no unless you have the starter wedges option which had chicken and cheese on top.

Amazing food and wonderful service. Good for dogs. Group of 7 we had steak and unicorn pie, farmhouse pie, liver and bacon and lasagne. All was very nice. The gravy is some of the best ever had. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was also very good.

My husband booked us for one night and I had to cancel because dog friendly We did go in for a drink and hopefully food but was taken aback at the lack of cleanliness Dog fouling all in car park Manager an ignorant human being Staff a bit dim to say the least These pictures on here need to be updated cause it’s the most filthy hovel I have ever frequented Should be closed down for health & hygiene to start with Discusting

Excellent quality and everything seemed to be freshly done and from scratch. (Can recommend the fish & chips). The prices are good value and the place has a good feel in a nice area.

Can't recommend this place enough. The food is sensational, great staff and in a great location. Superb beer garden as well! The lasagne is to die for!

Went to the Manners with a dinner booking of 9 for a corporate meal, they asked for pre order which is understandable for a group that size. Service was fast and the staff were very welcoming. Would recommend to people passing through.

Good pub with a good menu and very welcoming staff. They have an extensive range of drinks. Our food was very tasty and well cooked. It's a little way from the centre, but we'll worth the extra 5 mins walk.

Great food, location and staff. Would recommend to people. Went for the football and they had a nice garden outside with a screen.

Good pub grub. Friendly staff. Inside and outside seating areas. Family and dog friendly. Some areas a bit tired and ready for refurb.

We visited as a result of the great reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. Greeted by very friendly staff, we were shown to our table. Everyone was following Covid guidelines and we felt safe. The menu is interesting and varied. We chose the steak pie and seafood pasta, both of which were attractively served and absolutely delicious, followed by beautiful ice cream. Other adjacent tables were having the hanging kebab which looked divine as did the mushroom and asparagus risotto, cod and chips and slow cooked belly pork. Nothing left on anyone’s plates was testament to how much everyone had enjoyed their meals. The food is very well priced and of excellent quality. The pub is not over fancy inside but it is warm, comfortable, friendly, safe, imaginative as well as excellent food, well priced and beautifully served. What’s not to like?! Congratulations to front of house and kitchen. We’ll be back!

Loved the food ( hanging kebabs are delicious) friendly attentive staff , my only gripe is a table of 12 situated next to us, clearly not a table of two separate 6 or 2 separate households (current covid guideline's), spilled out over on to our table , very loud very intrusion on space and conversion. Spoiled our lunch.

Absolutely loved it, great food - to die for!!! and nice friendly staff. A credit to my home town for sure

We came for Sunday Roast, really well cooked, would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice traditional pub. The only slight negative, we could of done with some more vegetables with the roast but otherwise it was perfect. Great customer service!

Stayed in Avenue House and breakfast was served in here which was excellent and one of the best we have had

Myself and my partner normally visit The Manners whenever we are in Bakewell for food and drinks.We were back in Bakewell for the bank holiday weekend and decided to visit The Manners as usual. Prior to our visit, we checked their social media to see if we could book a table for food. The Manners had posted saying that they were not taking bookings for food or drink for the first 5 weeks of opening and it was a case of just turning up.We turned up and waited. We were then asked if we had a table booked. We were very confused and said no and were then turned away because they were full with bookings.My partner then called The Manners and explained that we had turned up and been turned away because we had had no booking even though on their social media they said that no bookings were being taken. The response was ‘Oh right, well we have nothing this weekend.’ No apology, no explanation that they had changed their minds about bookings and forgotten to update their information. Nothing. When visiting previously, we have had a couple of issues with orders/table times but have enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, due to the lack of customer service on this occasion we will not be returning again.

Belly pork was amazing - awesome gravy and lovely black pudding mash too! Really friendly staff too. Fantastic meal - best of the week’s holiday by far!!!

I wanted somewhere that served a well presented and varied menu to take my parents (in their 80s) out for a Friday lunch and The Manners fitted the bill perfectly. Booked in advance to secure a table under the gazebo and the staff were delightful. Well cooked, hot on arrival at the outdoor tables and very tasty meals. Parking on site (which in Bakewell is a rarity) was great for my parents. Thank you to all who looked after us and to the Manager who recognised my Dad from his Bakewell Show days!

Visited here the first week of easing of restrictions (only able to eat/drink outside)The pub didn't look much from outside but a large beer garden with marquee at the back was a pleasant surprise. Service good and friendly even though staff were extremely busy. Drank here 3 nights and ate here one. Food lovely, especially the hanging kebabs. Would definitely recommend.

We were looking for somewhere to have a drink and snack after a family get together at Chatsworth. Driving past ‘The Manners’, we thought we’d give it a go and were not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and took us to a table with a heater that we could switch on when we wanted to keep us nice and toasty. We ordered food for the kids and nibbles for the adults and it was delicious and quick to arrive which is always a bonus with hungry kids. This was our first experience of eating out in a long fine and was a really lovely one. We will definitely return if I’m the area again :)

We stopped in accommodation attached to the pub and all the food we had was very nice and would definitely recommend this place to anyone in Bakewell.

Awesome service! AMAZING food, one of the best pub meals I’ve ever had. We had the pie and the belly pork, it was sensational - and very reasonably priced too. We’ll be back when we’re next in the area.

Had the pleasure of spending an evening here last Friday. Excellent food and very attentive staff. Would highly recommend if in the area.

Stopped off here for lunch on our way for a holiday. I had the Chicken Kebab , Grandson had the pork Sunday roast granddaughter had the belly of pork. All were very delicious. Grandad had the fish and chips and was very disappointed. Over all though very good

this place is quite small and gets busy so really recommend booking.We arrived and were greated friendly and shown to our table. it is unusual now adays to get a warm welcome, usually when you enter a pub you get given a list of rules, but none of that rubbish here - just a friendly welcome (like the good old days of February).interesting selection of drinks, but there is an excellent brewery in the village of bakewell but none of the pubs we went in stocked their beers (Lukas is an amazing lager).food typical pub fare but was tasty.the best pub we went into during our stay in bakewell.

Very clean restaurant/ hotel friendly pleasant staff,food is lovely will definitely be visiting and staying again

Lovely meal steak pie (although really steak casserole with a pastry lid) but eve so very tasty. The hanging chicken kebab was delicious. Dog friendly . Service good and cleaning Taken very seriously . Book a table in advance

My partner and I had lunch here on a visit to Bakewell. I had calves liver and my partner had steak. Both were excellent, and the staff were very friendly. Full COVID precautions were also in place.

We stayed at the Manners for one night in September. We had a dog friendly room, it was really clean and fresh with ample room for our cocker spaniel. There was tea and coffee making facilities and a large en suite bathroom. We had Sunday lunch there and it was amazing, we booked a table and were very glad we did as its a popular place. Its only a 5/10 minute walk to the centre of Bakewell with its lovely shops cafes and restaurants. The breakfast the following morning was really good and included in the cost of the room. We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the avenue guest house sister house to the manners we couldn't recommend it enough absolutely spotless very comfortable beds the staff are amazing very very welcoming libby is perfect for front of house so warm and happy .The breakfast was fresh and lovely we cant wait to return .

While exploring Bakewell we called here for a drink. They had additional outdoor seating to cope with COVID measures, offering table service. Good selection of real ales and friendly staff. Would visit again, noticed others eating food and looked very nice.

A short break in the madness.. our room in Avenue House was bright, exceptionally clean and very comfortable, Breakfast great, to add to the high standard the Pub was welcoming, Covid safety measures In place and adhered to, very friendly Staff and the food Delicious .....we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you

We stayed at avenue house so popped in for a drink when we checked in but also stayed for dinner one night too.Good range of drinks available, nice wines, beers and a big selection of gins! My partner had tempura prawns followed by pork belly and I had a halloumi burger.Quality of food was brilliant and really reasonably priced - portions were really generous, we ordered a couple of sides and they were huge!Really nice atmosphere in the pub, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and couldn’t of been more helpful. QR code all set up and we saw mask wearing being enforced, plenty of sanitiser available so felt really comfortable given the strange world we’re currently in! Would definitely recommend!!

Delicious Sunday Lunch, came back for the "hanging" chicken kebabs, very generous so we couldn't manage the truly fabulous brownies. Good value, lovely friendly warm staff, every sign of excellent Covid security. We'll be back.

Stayed one extremely comfy night in their nearby B&B and will most definately return again. Would highly recommend

Very good, well presented, food. I had the pork which was delicious. Very good service. Will return.

Great dog friendly pub. We had the steak & ale suet crust pie and the chicken burger followed by chocolate brownie with ice cream. Great wine & beer. Friendly, welcoming waitress. Delicious food. Fast service. Good value for money. Was just what we needed on a rainy day! Would highly recommend and will be returning on our next visit to the Peak District!

Amazing food and service. Would highly recommend 👍. The hanging kebab was lush. Staff really attentive and prompt.

Had an amazing meal here on Wednesday night, served by the lovely Charlie☺️ Really enjoyed all our food, had belly pork and kebab both were fantastic! Definitely would recommend.

Good choice of food after a long day out walking. Very friendly staff. Wonderful patio area out the back to relax and unwind.

Just a quick thank you for making our stay so nice, staff could not do enough for us and the food was excellent, definitely be staying with you again!

The service was fantastic and the food even more so. It was fully booked but walk ins were available for the space outside. Definitely try the seafood pasta!

6 of us sat outside and enjoyed good beer and wine, and some delicious main courses. I had the seafood pasta which was excellent, lots of seafood in a tasty sauce. My wife had the hanging kebab, chicken kebab strung vertically and drizzled with a spicy buttery sauce. She loved it. Others enjoyed the fish and chips and the vegetarian risotto of mushrooms and asparagus. Served by friendly accommodating staff, and the good news, reasonable prices! Worth a visit!

We stopped here for lunch on a beautiful sunny day so sat in the garden with our dog. I had the mushroom and asparagus risotto which was one of the best I have ever eaten. My partner had the burger which was also very good.

A real mixture of thoughts on this one. The pub itself is really in need of some TLC; it’s nice and clean, but the decor and furniture is pretty shabby, and it lacks any atmosphere (at least it did when we visited). The staff are reasonably friendly, but the guy on duty (beard and glasses) was not exactly “mine host” material. The food is definitely decent, and they cater really well for allergies and intolerances. So it absolutely fine, but not one I would rush back to. ‍♂️

The pub was fully booked but we managed to get a small table in the snug which wasn’t fancy but we had our dog so weren’t too bothered. My partner couldn’t decide and The waitress recommended the hanging chicken kebab and I had scampi. Both meals were fabulous - the chicken was the best tasting chicken ever and the scampi was big pieces of prawns in a light batter. Service was brilliant - helpful and friendly and the food was excellent value - highly recommended

Booked for two nights bed and breakfast for a quick getaway, first impressions were of a traditional pub/hotel but with a modern twist in terms of decor. Safe,secure parking on site and a good size beer garden. A very short walk from bakewell town centre. We were welcomed by Libby who hosted us to an extremely high standard throughout our stay, in fact I’d say she is the best host I’ve ever come across with nothing too much trouble and so friendly !! Thank you Libby !!The rooms are spacious and clean with a comfortable bed and good bathroom. Everything you may need is there On the first night we had dinner in the pub, an excellent fish & chips which we both agreed was fantastic and to a very high standard yet extremely reasonably priced. The biggest treat for me was the continental breakfast (full English also available). It was out of this world - a personalised plate delivered to the table consisting of a fresh fruit salad, Greek yoghurt with honey, a croissant and a pain au chocolat also with toast, jam, real butter, tea or coffee and a jug of ice cold fresh juice. We had to have it again on the second day!!!Highly recommend- we will be back !!!

This little pub was so much better than we expected, the staff were so lovely and the food was absolutely fantastic. I had the pork belly and my boyfriend had the hanging kebab and we absolutely loved it, I wish we lived locally so we could come back!

Visited twice this week, once for Sunday lunch and once for dinner. Sunday lunch was lovely and is what prompted us to go back - roast beef cooked pink and roast pork nice and juicy. Happy customers, thank you.

First impression was decor was a bit basic, got over this when we had the food, Pork belly was amazing, the staff were lovely and friendly. The location was a 5 minute walk so again excellent. Would definitely go back.

Great food in a local pub atmosphere. Very enjoyable evening. Service good. Highly recommend for some laid back dining.

Eaten here several times and the food is always really nice, you get big portions & is reasonably priced. The menu could do with being updated as it’s always been the same every time I’ve gone in but there is a good selection anyway.

We had a good family meal here on the eat out to help outService was very slow we were booked in at six and didn’t get our orders taken until 645Food was well cooked and plentyfullChildren’s meals were good and portion size was largeNot the best of decorated pubs but the beer was goodWould reccomend

Great service, great food, great atmosphere, would highly recommend and will definitely make a return visit, staff were very welcoming

No organisation to serving or ordering.We waited 15 minutes to be served & a further 20 minutes for a coffee to be served, despite asking 3 times. No track or trace asked for. We were going to book for a meal the following day but after the service we received we won’t be returning.

Called for drinks only and were pleasantly dealt with. Our table was sanitised before we used it and the drinks order taken from our table. Although there were signs to tell folks that a one way system was in place many folks did not adhere to it but that is not really the fault of the pub. The carpet in the room we were in could have done with a vacuum over it. This was a shame.

We called at the Manners after a day at Chatsworth. The Pub was pretty busy when we arrived with less tables due to covid. The staff were very accomodating though and told us they'd get us a table asap.We ended up sat outside under cover which was very cosy and nicely decorated.I went for the hanging kebab which was delicious. The sauce was full of flavour and dripped all over the chips!My girlfriend had Steak which was cooked to perfection (Medium Rare), a lot of places struggle to get it right.We shared the chocolate brownie for desert, it was absolute chocolate heaven!

Having spent the last few weeks constantly sanitising hands on entry into a pub or restaurant and following one way routes around the premises, after being asked to provide track and trace details, we were shocked to find that this pub had none of those procedures in place. If it wasn’t for the fact that we couldn’t get booked into any other pub for dinner that night, we certainly wouldn’t have stayed and eaten here. Very average pub grub.

Good pint of Robinson’s. great food recommended the hanging kebabs. Lots of outdoor tables of which a lot are covered. Service is a little slow but very friendly and observed social distance rules well.

We stayed one night in this pub which is approx a 1 minute walk from the town centre. We were allocated a lovely room, very spacious and spotless.The room was above the covered bar area outside so we expected the noise however this did not bother us at all. We found all the staff to be very pleasant and helpful, especially the Scottish lady at breakfast, I have never seen anyone so happy so early :). We ate our evening meal at the pub after the landlady kindly squeezed us in, I would recommend booking tables wherever you choose to eat early as Bakewell is extremely popular and busy. The food was excellent and my fiance commented that his steak was one of the best he had every had! I had the chicken skewer and it was also delicious. Despite forgetting to pre order our breakfast, it appeared to be no problem and the food was hot and plentiful, no problem with coffee refills either for all the other coffee-holics out there. Overall we had a great stay, found the social distancing policy to be in place and working, it was obvious tables had been removed to make more space. We would stay there again definitely.

On Monday 10 August, popped in for a drink and some lunch on our way to Buxton. Spoke to a member of staff, who advised us it was table service, so we took a seat in the beer garden and waited & waited! It quickly became clear that there were a number of other tables, also waiting. The beer garden is quite a distance from the pub, staff were disorganised, running back and forward, with no idea who was next to be served. When an order was taken and delivered they moved onto the next table, no multi tasking here. We finally were served and when we asked for the food menu, we were advised to go inside the pub for a menu or alternatively check their menu on their website - note to pub, The menu on your website doesn't work, customers on the next table confirmed the same! We were then advised no lunch menu e.g. sandwiches or light meals, but we could have a starter or mains meal of their dinner menu - no thanks, so just had a drink. A male member of staff cleared a table of glasses next to us, inserting his fingers into the dirty glasses, while holding a tray of drinks for the table he was serving, he then put the dirty glasses down on the seat next to the customers and using the same hand he took the fresh glasses of the tray and served the drinks to the customers!

Staff fine but who is the miserable old man who can't smile, or speak? Oh it's the landlord 🙄 Oh that's okay - you don't need to appreciate anyone's custom. Jesus!

We had a lovely meal at The Manners. Good value and very friendly and efficient service. Risotto was delicious. Thank you!

Up from Kent visiting rellies in Mansfield. Came to beautiful Bakewell for a day out. Spotted The Manners and the advert for home cooked food when driving into the town and thought we'd give it a try. We weren't disappointed. We found a table in the beer garden and didn't have long to wait before our order was taken. The food was simply delicious. The beer was excellent and the service was relaxed, friendly and efficient. It was a great start to our excursion. Thank you guys :-)

After reading the reviews we were pleased to be able to book our family of 5 in for Sunday lunch, we checked on the phone to make sure they did veggie roasts which they did. Arrived for our 3pm reservation, tables sticky and close to other diners (less than a metre back to back), no veggie roasts left the only reason we were there, so v disappointing particularly as we’d mentioned it in our booking. We were offered veggie sausages with all the roast trimmings, felt cheated but can’t deny it was all tasty and well cooked. Some of us had the beef roasts and really enjoyed them, our 6yr old ate the lot! Some staff attentive and friendly others gave little eye contact and appeared sullen. Not a great veggie choice on the menu, left soon after eating mostly because it felt unclean. We had high expectations based on the reviews we read beforehand, I’d recommend the roast here but maybe book earlier to ensure they have some left.

We ate at The Manners for one of our evening meals in Bakewell. It was our first stay in the Peak District and what a wonderful find it was! The staff are friendly and helpful and well organised. The food was delicious, full of flavour and reasonably priced. We ate at another pub during our visit and wished we had just eaten at the Manners for a second evening! We will recommend to others and definitely return when we have the opportunity.

We loved our meal at the Manners. It was recommended by family members who still live in Bakewell and we were not disappointed. The hanging kebab was absolutely delicious and pork belly was cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were also really good and the staff were super helpful and friendly. A good choice of beers on tap and wine by the glass made this an all round great evening.

Staff couldn’t have been more helpful to find us a suitable table. The fantastic food was an additional surprise. Every one of our four meals was superb. Very fresh, very tasty and couldn’t fault it. Would return in a flash.

Short review but had to say just how good the food was today. Visiting with family on a short break from Cumbria. The hanging kebab was divine, and others said similar for steak pie and the burgers. Friendly staff and no issues with their distancing measures either Shame we live so far away!

My partner and I stayed in Bakewell for two nights at the neighbouring guest house ‘The Avenue’ and The Manners provided the breakfast to our B&B stay both mornings which was a delight. The scrambled egg knocked all other eggs out of the park and the Derbyshire oatcake (a first for us) was wonderful. I’d also like to know how they made the toast the most incredible toast I’ve ever had! We also booked into The Manners for dinner on the Friday night. The waitress was knowledgeable about the dishes and able to recommend to us. The hanging kebab was really tasty and my partner couldn’t stop talking about the chips all weekend! His only tiny criticism was the pie, whilst delicious, was only a pie top and we love our pastry! We enjoyed lovely wine and conversation for several hours and would definitely visit again.

Only our second post lockdown meal out, we were recommended the Manners but a local while we were on holiday. The food was great.

Just come back from a break in Bakewell and had to give a shout out to this pub. It was recommended to us by the owner of the cottage we stayed in and we were not dissapointed. The food was excellent and reasonably priced, the staff were also very attentive and coping very well with all the rules we live with currently during Covid.

Booked for dinner on Tuesday and was so good we booked again for Thursday. We had burger, scampi, risotto and pie, all was served hot and was very tasty. The staff and landlady were all very friendly. I understand they had a limited menu but I thought there was a good choice. I would thoroughly recommend this pub if you are in the area.

Just reopened with a reduced size menu. Staff coped with social distancing excellently and the food was superb. Do try the Hanging Chicken Skewer. It's superb. Can't wait to return.

The staff are all really nice and helpful. All meals we ate here were perfect, generous portions and fairly priced. Would definitely recommend.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food...very good pub grub with a wide selection of beers. Come and enjoy.

Salt of the earth good old fashioned pub. Slightly on the expensive side but always a good atmosphere with friendly locals. Allows dogs Meals are good but on the expensive side ( £15 for a small piece f liver and mashed potatoes in gravy)

Did not stay overnight but visited for food Very warm welcome Excellent food and service would highly recommend a visit

Great selection of food all freshly cooked and great prices would recommend to anyone visiting or near Bakewell

After reviews which seemed very positive I’d been quite insistent on trying here. In fairness the food was good but the general environment was just not very pleasant somehow. One staff member was a little curt and surroundings quite basic. The aspect I found most strange was you had to order drinks from the bar and food from your table...to then not be allowed to order subsequent drinks from the table so we had to leave your meal to go queue for further drinks at the bar. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that rather odd rule/set up (usually either table service or not) and it just felt very disjointed. Wouldn’t return for any form of ‘event’ type meal but fine for grabbing a bite in the day where expectations may be lower

Roast beef dinner excelent. Lambs liver same. Home cooked and very nice. Service veey good. Hadn't booked but was fitted in after a short wait. Definately worth the wait. Would return when visiting Bakewell again. Thankyou

We were in Bakewell for a couple of days and had been recommended The Manners by our son. We were not disappointed, we booked a table for 7:30pm and I was really glad we did, the place was packed and once we had tasted the food I could see why. The pub was a good mix of locals and out of towners and very friendly. The family on the next table had travelled from Castleton a good 30 minutes drive because they loved the place so much.Excellent food great choice of largers and ales and all at a very good price. Mondays is quiz night and they do excellent pie specials menu

Visited The Manners on a Saturday lunchtime with friends. It is a very popular pub and I was glad we booked a table otherwise we may have been disappointed. The food and service was excellent, especially the garlic mushrooms and the bangers and mash. It could do with a bit of a refurb to be honest and it seems to be stuck between being “the local pub” and a good food establishment.

We came here with my family for dinner. The atmosphere was good, the food was lovely and the staff was kind.

Although The Manners definitely needs the refurb it seems to be in the middle of you shouldn’t be put off by it being a bit scruffy. The staff are really warm and friendly - and then there’s the food. Some of the best pub food any of us had ever tasted. Fresh ingredients, high quality, and a depth of flavour to every dish. Highly recommended.

I'm sure someone from the pub will reply to this review to try and save face As a ceoliac, I researched this as a place to eat in Bakewell for those with gluten intolerance. I informed them of my allergy, ordered a starter marked as gluten free on the menu, informed them of my condition and that it had to be gluten free, and they gave me a dish inccluding salami. As it often contains gluten, I asked to see the salami packaging to ensure it definitely had none in. They refused, saying it was impossible to show me the packaging (I mean *really*...it's impossible is it!? Transaltion: ****! WE DIDN'T CHECK, HE'S RUMBLED US AND WE WANT TO SAVE FACE, DESPERATELY) and I had a terrible reaction to the gluten which it obviously contained which ruined the rest of my day, and my health for the ensuing days. Genuinely dangerous ineptitiude, obviously not bothered about my health and wellbeing. Scary.

We easily booked a table. The menu was just what we needed for a good hot meal on a cold evening. The staff were helpful. Not expensive.

Although it was very busy with a big party booked in we managed to find a space. The menu was a bit more inspired than the usual pub food. The service was fine and the food was good. Overall, good value for money.

Whilst visiting friend in Derbyshire over christmas we were lucky enough to dine at the Manners.

Looking for somewhere in Bakewell to have lunch we looked on Trip Advisor and decided on The Manners. We received a warm welcome on entering and we’re shown to a table and handed a menu. The choice of food was good and was very well presented. We really enjoyed the food and felt we had good customer care, so we will call again when next in Bakewell.

Delicious food and great selection on the menu, very impressed! Definitely high end pub food rather than your chain pub type of food. Staff were very friendly but weren’t that attentive, maybe because we were sat in the corner slightly out of view.

We spent two nights in Bakewell at the start of this month and dined both evenings here. The food was delicious, service very friendly (including for the dog) and we would have returned if we had another night! The wine was also very good, which can be disappointing at other pubs with limited options. It was the busiest place in Bakewell so I would also advise to book ahead. The staff at The Manners are doing it all right - great work and thank you to all involved!

Called in on a Saturday evening without a reservation. We were seated quickly by helpful staff. Menu offered a good choice and the meals we chose were delicious.

Whilst staying in Bakewell we were fortunate to eat at The Manners twice. The menu is a good mix of traditional pub food and more unexpected dishes.All our food was very tasty and the staff were courteous anď super efficent. Best of all the pub is truly dog friendly so we could all enjoy our evening out.

Had a great nights stay in the manors with are dog patsy. Thanks to livvy for looking after us all. Patsy did not want to come home.
