The Pride of the Peaks in High Peak

Great looking pub, nice beers and ciders.

We had high expectations of the food after reading past reviews on Google, but my wife and I were both disappointed. I was looking forward to the corn beef hash, red cabbage and crusty roll, as I haven't had this dish in years, and my mum used to serve it with red cabbage. This was served, but no mention that they had substituted the red cabbage with beetroot. I went to the bar to query this, and was told they had run out of red cabbage. Whilst this was disappointing, it would have been nice if they had mentioned this and apologised. The second disappointment was that there was only a couple of pieces of potato in my hash. Lots of corned beef and carrots. There definitely should have been more potatoes, and I check this by googling images of this dish and recipes. The roll was very pale, not baked long enough to become the described crusty. My wife has the sea bass, but she told me it was smoked and didn't taste like sea bass, although there was plenty of it. She thought it tasted more like kippers! Maybe there was another unannounced substation and this wasn't the fish we ordered. She enjoyed the pesto mash, but the broccoli and peas were cold already when served. On a positive note, the pub is dog friendly and the lady who served our food gave them a treat. The real ale I had was served in good condition. The pub was busy on the Saturday afternoon when we visited, which is good to see. From our experience I cannot recommend this pub, especially for dining. Update after response: My wife gave me a bit of her fish and it definitely tasted smoked . Yes it was corned beef hash which is meant to have corned beef, but from my experience and images and recipes seen from a Google search show that this dish normally has a lot more potatoes. Maybe someone got my share, because I only got a couple of pieces, so obviously in your recipe. I'm glad you agree I should has been told the red cabbage had run out rather than just substituting it. There was no comment about the cold vegetables or under baked roll which wasn't crispy.

Great pub and a fantastic landlord who is very dog friendly. 🐕

A great place to eat when you've been for a walk at lunchtimes.

Simple but well prepared food, good beer

Can’t go wrong with a decent local. Open late and served some lovely local ales!

Just got back from a wonderful afternoon tea with my daughter , best I have ever had (I’ve had a few). The food was fresh, plentiful and varied, both savoury and sweet. Our original booking was for 4 but due to unforeseen circumstances only two of us ate in, the other 2 were carefully boxed up for me to take to my other daughters, very helpful staff indeed. Would thoroughly recommend and will be back. Thank you.

first time visit, arrived 1:50pm on wednesday after a walk. the menu was limited, there was no special available on that day. there were some homemade pies and cakes in the cold display unit. all the food ordered were ok.

We went last night for the special greek night tapas. The food was outstanding, the service was brilliant, and would highly recommend to all. Xx

Bit young for me, and loud lol, but was open very late

Nice local pub in the heart of New Mills. Nicely presented interior and very well presented food for a pub. I enjoyed the cask beer, but would have really liked a locally brewed choice. Prices are very reasonable too!

Delicious, good prices, no rush, warm, cute atmosphere. It's probably a regular shop for local people.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Sat in the pods outside. Food was good value and good quality. Will definitely visit again!

Great English pub. Serving good helpings of home cooked food. Cake cabinet is to die for. Staff friendly and efficient. Would return.

Friendly staff but we visited at 2pm on a Sunday and no roast beef. All the had for a "roast" was chicken or gammon.

Literally just been in this place after a hectic morning. Looking for a little food and relax with a beer. Gentleman behind the bar was rude to begin with. We had a young child with us after waiting an hour for a food order. Then as we went to complain the chap who I deem to possible be the Manager was even ruder than the bartender. How to make sure paying customers NEVER return to a venue In reply to your reply, I have been in the customer service industry myself for 40 years, however your reply just shows your failure to understand of any of the above, just confirms the negative feedback. I shall indeed feel free never to return thank you for confirming that. I'm sorry an 82 year old man stepping two steps into your bar area frightened your staff that much, but you're right we ordered 4 toasties and a portion of fries and an hour later came to ask what was happening to the high handed reply that they hadn't been started yet! But judging by other reviews over the last few months we're not the only disappointed ones and anyone who raises an issue becomes the problem it seems

Fish & Chips and pint of Diet Coke came to over £20. Was hoping the food would justify the extreme price but sadly not, it was very poor. 28/06/24 11.33am £20.45

Nice outside area which is a great sun trap. Friendly warm staff.

A friendly welcome from an old style northern pub. Sunday roast was generous and good value.

Lovely staff. Good food. Great beers. Well worth a visit.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating, even bought over some treats for our dog.

Absolute grump of a member of staff a female who was so rude to customers and the absolute worst pint of Timothy Taylor’s I’ve ever tasted flat within minutes and served in a dirty glass shall not be back again the whole pub was dirty

Been in this week and wow 😮 the staff work so hard, we had the full English breakfast, it was top notch and the service was too ,we can’t recommend them enough, a true gem of a place in a lovely Derbyshire village.

Not been here for a while, and frankly, we were disappointed after previous experiences. Dropped in for lunch and a couple of drinks. The food was as palatable as ever, but the member of staff on duty is clearly in need of a personality transplant. Off-hand and surly service.

Nice pub with a good selection of hot and cold drinks. Lovely interior and a outside seating area.

Steak and ale pie to die for, excellent and lovely gloomy gravy. Will definitely go again.

Called in for a quick lunch on Wednesday. There us a limited menue on wednesday but still loads to choose from. The main menue is extensive. Very friendly and dog friendly. Excellent prices was really impressed. Will be comming regularly

Great, cosy pub with good food. Traditional pub grub, and real ale on tap

cracking pub friendly staff very tasty food and treats just yummy. also a lovely little garden with a lovely view 🤩🤩 yes dog friendly. just the place to have a few pints after a walk around the mill . Huge thank you to the staff for our visit on Saturday.

Really lovely. Made us and our dog welcome. Great food.

Great food, big portions of classic pub food. Would definitely go back. Would have been even better with some music on.

It was good basic food. Could have Ben warmer when it came out.

Had a great full English breakfast and vegan one too. Great atmosphere service bar staff friendly. Will visit again if visiting New Mills.

The gentleman behind the bar needs an attitude transplant. Forgot our order, denied we ever placed it. Everyone else was nice enough. Chips were banging though.

Really good food and friendly staff, the inside was full so we sat outside in the beer garden - still pleasant with a dog

Walked in for a quick bite to eat. Staff aggressively rude. I asked for menu was told it’s at end of bar. I asked where I order she said at bar. She then proceeded to walk away and not take my order so I walked out. Food could have been excellent but I will never know.

Warm, friendly staff. Food delicious.

Haven't eaten here just called for a drink, Glasses above bar are dusty, skirting boards are dusty and dirty, wonder what kitchen is like !! Needs a good clean in my book!! Other wise could be a lovely pub 🤔

I have been going in for years, amazing food and great staff who care about there customers, the atmosphere is also amazing, well done everyone at pride of the peaks, see you soon 😄

I can’t comment on the food as yet as I haven’t tried it but have been told it’s amazing 🤩, but the Saturday night atmosphere in this little diamond is great, nice beer in front of a coal fire on a cold night can’t be beaten

Didnt disappoint and good old plateful all homemade for a very reasonable price. Cant fault it at all.

The food, when it arrived, was brilliant. There was a wait for food as they were short staffed.

We were visiting the area for the weekend so this was our first visit tonight. The food was really good, big portion sizes and the staff were friendly and accomadating. Definitely recommend

Great food, Great staff. We went for a birthday meal our adult daughter is celiac. Staff gave options of what she could and couldn't have and were excellent with recommendations. She had a chicken and bacon salad really enjoyed it. She could have had about 4 or 5 other dishes.

Went in to meet up with family. There was a 50th do on at the same time. Place was rammed. Good atmosphere, no sign of any trouble. Staff quick to serve on what must have been a busy night for them and always polite.

Crisp ale pie, big size dish with a handmade dessert, a nice experience.

The best pub in New Mills with a friendly atmosphere and quality food. Just had Bacon Brie sausage rolls and a cappuccino it was delicious .

The guy behind the bar was just rude unprofessional and did not like anyone who was not local

So iv been in before and its been good but I've had stale and soggy cake befor witch was nasty and i just went in agen to see how it was if it eny better the guy was so rude defo had a problem even to the point it make the 2 of us very uncomfortable

Had the full large breakfast if you like to see the video checkout Stocky Bloke on youtube.

Great food at a great price, what more could anyone want!

We call in often as it's our local and never have any complaints. We always enjoy the food, the breakfasts are on point and very delicious. we had a Sunday dinner today, and it was nice. I'd recommend. 100%

Lovely place and friendly owners

We booked a table for an evening meal on arrival we approached the bar and announced our arrival, our table was pointed out to us over in the corner, then we were told come back to the bar and order there's no table service here, so we bought our drinks at the bar and went and sat down quickly realising that we had to get the menus ourselves off the bar, all four meals were disappointing and one arrived 7 minutes after the others 2 of us had hunters chicken and the chicken was barely warm, nobody asked if our meals were ok we ate what we could of them finished our drinks and left not a goodbye thanks or even a smile from any staff as we left.

I'd been waiting to try Pride of the Peak out since before COVID. Sadly, it was a disappointing experience. This place needs some serious TLC, dirty outside eating area, waitress tripped up on a cigarette packet on the floor, there were Dimps everywhere. The full English breakfast was very tasty until I found a long black hair under my eggs. Waitress said sorry without making eye contact. Most establishments would have been horrified. A quick sorry, just didn't cut it. My wife stopped eating. Don't think I'll be returning anytime soon, which is really disappointing as I'd waited so long to try this place out. I recommend hair nets or a least, hair tied back. Someone also needs to clean the areas where they expect you to eat.

Lovely place to go for a relaxed meal out for all the family.

Hard to judge atmosphere as we've been really afternoon and we're the only ones in. Staff great and chatty, cakes were great. Big TV for sports. Not my usual preferred style/decor of pub. Love the cornflake cake.

Great food to be had here. I have had poached egg when I want a healthy breakfast and when I need a more they have cooked me a grand vegetarian breakfast that sees me through at least a day! The cakes look amazing too but you have to stop somewhere!

Paulicarus making his first ever visit to New Mills. Opposite the quick turnaround bus station and close to New Mills Central train station. Only one real ale on today; a good pint of Ossett Butterly. Taylor's Boltmaker was off. Interesting place for food; especially cakes. Also advertising a Spanish Med Night menu. Had Green Lipped Mussels in Madrid once...Paulicarus says once was enough. Nice back beer garden soaking up the July rain. Pleasant interior.

The pride of the peaks is fantastic .food is very very good never had a bad meal yet. Landlady shellie and Staff willing to help with your needs. Top off my list .afternoon tea to Sunday dinner can not fault anything. 10 out of10 every time.

Friendly pub good beer felt like a proper pub

Wonderful food, lovely friendly large pub. Children and the pooch were very welcome. lovely area, we walked along the millennium walk after. As a family (dog included) we all throughly enjoyed....Will be going back again.

Great hospitality, great food, lovely staff. You can't go wrong here. Thank you guys, top time

Unfortunately food wasn’t available when we first arrived and an estimate of when they would begin serving again wasn’t really available. However as we were about to leave and find food elsewhere, orders began again, and we really enjoyed what we had to eat. Would visit again, perhaps on a quieter day!

Only had a drink a couple of times but nice place. Will try a meal sometime. Outdoor space looks nice.

Absolutely great place will definitely go back to this place again. Went to meet up with friends xx

2 pints served in 25mins. Great service.

Walked in on a FRIDAY NIGHT at 11:30 and was told they had stopped serving coz they shut at half 11 ?????

Probably the best roast I’ve had in my life time. Very dog friendly pub, staff are welcoming and pour a great Guinness!!! Perfect place after a long walk!

Lovely pub with lovely staff. I was surprised with the outdoor seating areas being so nice too. Massive portions of food and the place is dog friendly 🙂 Would definitely recommend going!

Nice pub , had a good out side seating area. No food though so we went somewhere else. We did however buy some cakes from here. Never again 😒

I live down near London now as I moved away and always visit here, I've been visiting this place for 20+ years but since 2005 they have had the same landlord and the same land lady, Jimmy and shelly, they have made pride of the peaks into a great place, the breakfasts here are cheap as chips but of good quality and 10/10 for presentation and service, good atmosphere always, good food served dinner and tea, good choice of ales but a very loving and personal touch is what makes it, great with children from newborn upwards, dogs welcome, so all in all a great family orientated pub, they raise money for various charities etc and keeps the community together See you next time round Jimmy n shelly

Very friendly... And I was a tourist.

Fantastic! Service was exceptional from both ladies, the food was delicious and big portions. I would deffinatly recommend.

Great food at good price will be back

Very good food and homemade desserts, decent pint, reasonable price

Had a large breakfast very nice with Smokey bacon and lovely sausage well worth the money

Lovely lunches & a really good menu. Lovely roast lunch. Very good friendly staff. We were in a party of 10 & all meals came out together. Parking is close by but not very suitable for any disabled people as it's a fairly steep short walk from the car park unless you can park on the roadside but the times are a bit limited. Very popular place.

Only been here twice but both times the food is delicious! Always go for the specials board. The staff are attentive and will definitely be back compliments to the chef!

such a bad place to go for food. The staff seem incredibly unbothered about their customers. it took me over 30 minutes just at served for drinks and had to wait for 20 minutes for our food. Food was nothing special and bland. The service is shocking and I was incredibly unhappy with the treatment I received I will not be going back and I wouldn’t advise any of my friends or family or anybody reading this review to go there.

Lovely food and good selection of drinks, very friendly staff, warm log fire and dog friendly what's not to like.

Decore ,Food ,Ale , Decent Staff , Shelly is a hands on landlady ,Nothing but praise for this place, Got several gigs booked at The Arts Centre, Obviously ! Meet & dine here beforehand, Splendid pub & food

Great pub, good food reasonable priced. Well worthed a visit.

Nice, friendly pub. Good, reasonably priced food, big portions, would definitely go back.

Nice atmosphere, good food, just what was needed after a good long walk along the millennium walkway

Five of us ate there today each meal was really nice and would definately recommend the food

I have just been victim to easily the single worst pizza/meal I have ever been presented. Truly offensively horrendously bad food. Luckily I paid on a company card. If it was my money I would have asked for a refund. Instead After a few bites I was so gutted and hungry I just got up and left and went the chippy over the road instead

Average. Full menu wasn't on and food took a while

Very nice pub made welcome and free food on Xmas day

The food here is awesome and the staff are lovely. Very lucky to have such a great pub in New Mills. Never had a disappointing meal here. 👍👍👍

A bit cold where we sat but there is a fire in another part

Had an Amazing Afternoon Tea on Tuesday with friends in the Heated Pride of the Peaks Pod. Excellent food and service. Will be going again highly recommended a great venue. Xk

Breakfast was really nice and great value for money

Love Jimmy n shellie brilliant landlords x

Good local pub with excellent home cooked food

Fantastic food well worth the money owner shellie hagan the chef works very hard to provide for her customers you can guarantee a great meal every time excellent

Call this the Pride of the Peaks The selection is just Carlsberg and Guinness. There's no local beers. And definitely no 'Real Ale' so that's a lie.

Dog friendly pub. Stopped in for a coffee and toasted sandwich and we were very pleasantly surprised. Large garden with a couple of covered pods. Not that we needed them as it's a lovely sunny day and the garden is a real sun trap. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Toasted ham and cheese sandwich came with lots of salad and a pot of home made coleslaw. We will definitely return.

Lovely place with a varied menu at a reasonable price. Very clean and the staff were very attentive. The duck with couscous and pomegranate was delicious. Would highly recommend

Went to the armed forces veterans breakfast club food was really good.
