The Queens Arms in High Peak

Great beer, great food & great service. After our walk we were given a lovely welcome and a very enjoyable lunch - hope to return soon

We stayed in the flat above the Queens Arms (booked via LateRooms.com) for three days. The flat is comfortable, well-equipped and spacious, and the location is excellent for walking in the Peak District dales. We ate in the pub on one evening, good value pub food and great real ales. Recommended.

Had an evening meal here while staying locally in the area. This is exactly how a country pub should be. Lovely atmosphere, great food at very reasonable prices, friendly staff and dog friendly. What more could you want 😁

Little gem of a pub. We were camping nearby and needed a distraction from the rain. Went over for lunch and was very impressed with the food served. Great portion sizes and I would say above average quality from what you would expect in a pub lunch. A fly on the wall would have laughed at us all oohing and ahhing at each plate coming to the table! Everything ordered was devoured with pleasure. The staff were very friendly and the wait for food was quick. Lovely day out.

What a lovely, friendly welcoming pub this is! We were on holiday in Taddington, a super village in a beautiful location. The Queens Arms had plenty of local clientele but we felt very welcome as visitors. We ate here twice because the food was so good. In particular the steak, chips and trimmings for under £20 was superb. The best chips I have had for a very long time, a well cooked and seasoned tasty steak and a lovely carefully prepared tasty side salad. We ate in the beer garden which overlooks fields. Great service by all staff. Highly recommended

Friendly staff, fast and great food in a lovely rural village with lovely beer garden. How pubs should be! A range of real ales too.

Taddington is a very quiet village equidistant between Buxton and Bakewell. The Queens has lovely food at a good price with a usual pub grub menu. Friendly staff. Burgers come with a pretzel bun which is a nice touch. Loads of fries.

Just the absolute best pub in the whole of the Peak District. Great food, great service, everything is brillant. This is a typical village pub serving nice drinks and sensational food. The Portugese Chick is highly recommended (if you like spicy chicken), the steaks are excellent and the Sunday lunches are superb with the usual roasts. Puddings are a joy too with some unusual ice creams on offer on occasion. This place is an absolute gem in the Peaks so don't miss it and yes you need to book at weekends and busy times as it does get booked up.

Fantastic Credit where Credits due, food and service 10/10. Will definitely come back to try other meals. Great walking are too.

Lovely local pub. A real community feel. Popular pub for locals and visiting folk. Food wholesome and well priced - served promptly by really friendly and attentive staff! Well done to the new patrons for resurrecting this pub and creating a real heart within this lovely village.

Visited with my friend as am doing the Peak District pubs map. Warm welcome in a traditional British pub. Lovely pint of Aspells cider. We both ordered the beef and horseradish sandwiches. Lovely crusty bread and just the right amount of sauce. Home roasted thick sliced beef was generous. Mine came with balsamic salad and crisps. My friend had hers with homemade soup. Both meals priced at £7.50 each! Friendly staff and will definitely visit again.

Had a lovely Mothering Sunday lunch in the Queen's. The food, atmosphere and service were all excellent. The menu has recently been updated and the braised ox cheek and Bailey's creme brulee were outstanding. Thanks for making our day special.

22 of us just enjoyed a fantastic Christmas Lunch , the best lunch and service we have experienced in a longtime 👍👍👌👌

We booked in for Sunday lunch and based on the reviews we were expecting a lovely meal. The welcome was pretty luke-warm but the meal was tasty.

One of the best home cooked meals around, great variety of dishes, the staff are fantastic, don't miss the opportunity to eat here, you won't regret it.

So lucky to have this as our local pub. Lovely staff, food and community spirit. If you are staying in the area give it a go, always a warm welcome.

Been back a few times now since our first review and visit in March and really enjoy everything about the place and will always keep returning it really is a great place to wine and dine with great hosts .

We popped up on a Friday night for the fish and chip deal. Fish, chips and mushy peas was excellent and we couldn’t resist the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was divine. So lucky to have The Queens as our local pub.

Nice location, handy for local touring. Stayed in the upstairs accommodation. lovely flat and food very good.

I loved all the staff I went when this little girl was served and I loved how you get her on her feet at a young age

Absolutely amazing, eaten here on a few occasions whilst visiting the area. Staff very welcoming. A decent menu with specials and a fish and chip night and burger night. Reasonable prices and always a plateful of food. Never managed a desert.

Stopping at a nearby Caravan park we had been recommended this place for an evening meal. As we approached we were a little unsure as it didn’t look that inviting. As we were there and I fancied a beer anyway we went in. We got the menu and thought it looked ok so we ordered. The beer was good as we waited but we didn’t have huge hopes… ……how wrong we were!! Beautiful food. Beautifully presented. I had a fabulous burger and Mrs A had the bangers and mash. Huge portions. Tasty and great value. Loved it !!!

We hadn't been here since the refurbishment. What an improvement! Friendly staff, comfortable seating. Visited for evening meal. My other half had the pie of the day, which he enjoyed. I am Coeliac, so I asked what I could have from menu as some meals were marked ' GFO'. Was told I couldn't have chips as they only have one fryer. I settled on Hartington Chicken which came with garden peas, they cooked me some baby new potatoes. The meal was very nice.

Warm welcome, friendly staff and great food. We’d pre-booked a table for 5 (+dog) for Saturday evening and were glad we’d thought ahead, as they are clearly popular with locals and tourists alike and busy. The food was great, pub fair with a twist and good portions all round. Our walk took us past on Saturday afternoon too, so we’d already tried out their beer garden for a well deserved cold drink. Both times the service was great. Thank you.

Booked a table for 6 , with 4 friends from Bristol , who were staying in the area. Asked for a Veggie Wellington to be reserved for our vegetarian friend . ..and that was no problem. All our group.loved their meals. 3 of us had the steak and ale pie, which I have to say, as a pie lover, I think the best pie in this area!!! Just excellent..a proper pie, with delicious pastry , and served with mushy peas, gravy and your choice of potato. We had a birthday boy with us ( 84!) and our server kindly put our candles on his sticky toffee pudding and led the whole pub in singing " happy birthday" ! Excellent food ( lots of clean plates at the end !) And excellent service. Thank you again. We'll be back..with family next time....

Love love love this place. Unpretentious, friendly, great staff, great grub. Ate here twice whilst staying in the village, once with son and daughter in law and the baby, and our two dogs. And again on a Sunday night (today) before we leave tomorrow . Each time has been so lovely, warm, fun and comfortable. Staff super friendly and helpful! The pies tonight were yummy and so filling! Thoroughly recommend this great pub!

14 of us - all family members - enjoyed a very delicious Sunday lunch at this pub. We had been asked to pre-order our choice of roast meat so when we arrived the meals were quickly served amd were hot. The presentation was good and the wide range of vegetables and a large yorkshire pudding for everyone was much appreciated. Nothing was under or over cooked. We then chose our desserts which were just as tasty and well served. Very friendly small country pub and if we are staying in the area again we will make a return visit.

My family and I stayed in the apartment above The Queens Arms. It is absolutely immaculate,huge rooms but feels cosy and gorgeously decorated. The beds were so comfortable and we honestly couldn't have asked for more. Little bit of noise from the pub downstairs but didn't bother us or my child at all. We ate our evening meal in the pub,the food and the portion sizes were excellent. I had a vegetarian meal and it was the best I've had in 20 years! I love everything about the place and will definitely be back. Also the staff were fantastic 🌟

Very welcoming atmosphere. We had their Christmas menu which was delicious. The first of the season. Millie the pub dog made a lot of fuss of us (as we did her).

Five of us for Sunday lunch which was excellent and very filling. Went for lunch at 1pm and had a good table. Service was very good and w all enjoyed our meal and to meet up with friends. Covid-19 precautions were adhered to.

So rare to find a proper local pub that still exists. Well worth a detour off the A6 if you are passing and a must if you are staying nearby. The food is simple but the best pub food I’ve had for a while.If we want places like the Queens Arms to survive post-COVID then it’s important to support them while they still exist.

We as a family were staying at the nearby Moor Grange Farm and would just like to thank all at the Queens Arms for accommodating us and providing us with an absolutely excellent Sunday Roast! Everyone of our group thoroughly enjoyed the food in a cosy, but Covid safe atmosphere. Nice friendly service in wonderful rural surroundings! If we find ourselves in the area again, we know where to come, thanks again x

I have had Sunday lunch in the Queens on quite a number of occasions. The food has been excellent. The staff have been more than welcoming and have at times entertained my Springer Spaniel while we had lunch. Would recommend this for food, warm welcome and dog friendly. Planty

Firstly I would like to thank the landlords Steve & Jane, and staff for their hospitality and the local drinkers who make the atmosphere within the Queens Arms such a friendly pleasant place to be. The food was really nice home cooked and plentiful, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of a night out. We had three great nights but sadly our planned 4th night was stopped due to the COVID19 government actions to close pubs. Since we still had another night to go in the village, they provided an excellent takeaway meal for us to heat up the following night. When all pubs reopen in the future, I would strongly urge people to visit the Queens Arms and support them during this difficult period to keep the community lifeline going. I'll be back and can't wait. Thank you all.

We spent a lovely evening in this quaint pub. It is a long time since I walked into a pub where everyone said hello. The owners were great hosts, in fact Steve came and collected us from our campsite! The food was delicious, our dogs were made very welcome. A great evening for us. Steve also dropped us back. There are not many little pubs like this left. Friendly and full of character

If you want a fantastic homemade pie (not the usual microwave rubbish) or roast dinner then this is the place. Had a lot of these in various pubs and never bettered when it comes to these two. With the roast dinner you don't even have to decide which meat you want as you can have all three. Everything including the deserts are homemade - the Bakewell sponge pudding (unusual spin on the normal one) is to die for. Fully & Highly recommended for those looking for a hearty meal.

A friendly welcome, honest, home cooked food and good value.... the roasts were particularly impressive. Great village pub.

Friendly staff. Lovely woodstove fire and simple but good quality food. Worth a visit if in the area for evening drink or weekend lunch stop

Fantastic three meat Sunday roast. The meat was in a giant yorkie pud and came with carrots, peas, parsnips, cauliflower cheese stuffing, a big roastie and a big pig in blanket! Finished off with a homemade bakewell sponge drowned in custard and a nice local cask ale. Fantastic meal for £19. Very homely feel, a little dated decor, but very cosy with a big fire. Staff were top notch - very friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t have known it was there if I hadn’t seen the small sign on the A6 - but glad I did!

Just been for a Sunday lunch which was delicious. Very tender meat and a good selection of veg cooked perfectly, in fact one of the best pub lunches I’ve had in a long time. The owners were lovely and friendly and it feels like you’ve just popped back home. Taddington is a pretty little village with the Queen’s Arms at it’s heart. If you are travelling to Buxton or the area do take the time for a visit. (Dogs are very welcome too.)

We visited this evening and it was like going home. Really friendly and warm, couldn’t have been made more welcome and the landlord / landlady couldn’t have been nicer. This is a trad pub. The kind that needs supporting. Give it a try, it’s a lovely place and just makes you smile.

I have been here twice recently, at times when the pub is supposed to be open (about 1315 both times - the website says it opens from 1230 - 1500 for food). Both times it was firmly closed; on the second occasion there was another, quite large, group of walkers also looking disappointed. This may well be a nice pub, but it would help if you could get in to see!!

Took the new car for a spin to Bakewell...was a wet Saturday but all main street pubs and bars were full...started back for Stoke and saw a sign for this place. A very small quaint town and the pub felt like a living room. Very homely and friendly service. Large portions. Ordered the special of the day prawn and avocado salad and the large Yorkshire pudding with sausages, potatoes and vegetables. The sauce was divine. Good selection of beers. Was a happy customer !!!

Jane very kindly came and picked up 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs from Beechcroft Farm Camp site. Very friendly, good food.

I was in touch with Kirsty of the Queens Arms in the weeks leading up to my birthday dinner where I had ordered 20 meals and also Pimms and lemonade to have on arrival. She was very helpful and the evening was perfect. All food orders were correct and everyone was really happy with their food. The Pimms and lemonade had lovely fruit and mint in it and was particularly good. We appreciated the time and effort that went into accommodating so many people at once. Would highly recommend if you are staying in Taddington.

Booked in advance (probably recommended), and we found out that if possible, they will come and pick you up and take you back if the hours work for them....this was great as we were staying on a campsite 10 minutes away and didn't want to drive, and taxis are rare.

We stopped here for a drink after a walk in the Peak. Nice pub and one we hadn't been to before. The pub itself is old style lovely with plenty of character and a nice sounding menu.

We had been to Gullivers World Theme Park and were tired and hungry. The Queens Arms was the prefect stop on the way home. A warm welcome and a warm fire. Just what we needed. A nice menu of English Classics with lots of specials on the boards. We went for 2x steak and ale pie, one chicken pie and one sausage a mash. All were great. There was also a kids menu and lighter pannini and jacket potatoe options. The only problem was once we’d got comfy no one wanted to leave. Would definitely recommend. We hadn’t booked and didn’t need to but we were fairly early at 6:00 pm.

Came across this lovely village and pub by accident! Very warm welcome by the owner and food excellent! The pastry on the leek and lamb pie was the best I’ve ever tasted and the mixed grill was huge, with everything on there! Great place to eat and would definitely return!

We visited while on holiday in the Peak District. We fancied a local pub with homecooked food and were recommended The Queens Arms. Staff are very friendly and it's a cosy place, but either we were overcharged or drinks are extremely expensive as our bill came to a lot more than t should have been. It was only after we left we realised the discrepancy and we were distracted by a screaming child when we left! Food is average pub food. The best feature is the friendly service, other than that nothing makes you want to go back.

As we were staying in the village, it’s convenient to walk along the road for dinner. The menu was good and their was something for all three of us to choose. The host was friendly, helpful and attentive. The food was home cooked, hot, served well and very pleasant.

we were motor-homing near by, our reserved table was by the fire [which after a 30 minute walk on a blustery evening] was very welcoming ,there was good selection of ales [thumbs up] a variety of food, we shared a mushrooms on toast starter, i had the mushroom wellington with stilton and cranberries [because it sounded and was different as I'm no veggie no offence implied] the better half had a steak and ale pie and we shared a banana split [ i think i had a taste] , and we enjoyed it all ,the locals were very friendly as were the owners , a big thumbs up, we will definitely return.

I came here today with my partner and our dog for the first time. It was a lovely pub and we felt very welcome when we came. We asked the man that owned the pub if he knew of any taxi numbers because the weather was very rainy and icey. He offered to take us back to our caravan free of charge. we have never been to this part of the Peak District before but we will definitely be returned to go to this pub again. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Last time we visited this pub it looked as though it was on its last legs and about to join the unfortunate list of village pubs that had closed. However this time it was warm and inviting (with a new wood burning stove), a choice of 3 real ales and a reasonably priced menu of the usual pub favourites. Walkers are welcome,, as are well behaved dogs. The staff are pleasant and friendly - what not to like?

Probably the most friendly and accommodating pub I’ve ever been to. We were giving our motorhome a late autumn airing and staying at Beech Croft Farm. The publican picked us up and took us back to the campsite after we’d eaten etc. Top place, top staff and top pub - and excellent value. Will certainly return again.

Visited for lunch on Sunday with two friends. We had the 'roast beef and Yorkshire pudding' which was lovely- very tasty and filling. It was a cold day but very cosy in the pub with the fire roaring. Nice ambience, friendly crowd. I would certainly recommend.

We visited this cosy country, village pub for Sunday lunch with friends. The service was excellent, very friendly atmosphere and the roaring fire very welcome on a chilly autumnal day. Sunday lunch was excellent with a choice of 4 different meats, and all the trimmings - the Yorkshire pudding was very good, vegetables cooked well, the mashed potato tasty and served with gravy - what's not to like - we will definitely call again!

We stayed in a cottage in Taddington for a week and 3 nights out of 4 we ate at the Queens Arms. The food was delicious pub food and there were special themed evenings. We really enjoyed curry night and steak night. The steak was delicious. All food was very good value for money and steak night was excellent value. There is a selection of real ale and the landlord and landlady and everyone at the pub were friendly helpful and welcoming. Just to add the icing to the cake there was also a nice warming log fire going too!

Traditional pub with homemade hearty food. Had the cottage pie and it was delicious. It was our second time here and we will definitely return. Lovely staff too.

The owners and their daughter are so helpful and friendly. Our group of 12 (of mixed ages) all really enjoyed our Sunday lunch in this traditional pub.

We stayed at a cottage in Taddington quite a few years ago and at that time we enjoyed several meals at The Queens Arms. On a return visit to the area we remembered about this pub and decided to go for Sunday lunch. We are very pleased that we did. Two of us had a roast beef dinner which was piping hot, had plenty of lovely lean beef and several fresh vegetables. My husband had steak and stilton pie and he was very happy with his choice. The service was good and the staff very friendly, even offering to put my daughter's dinner to keep warm on the hot plate if her baby woke for a feed when her meal arrived. My daughter and I also enjoyed a pudding each. This is a proper country pub serving home cooked food and we will definitely return when in this area again.

Have visited this pub for meals in the last week or so. Very traditional pub in the lovely village of Taddington. Very good menu selection and reasonably priced. Quick efficient friendly service. Lovely ambience with a very good friendly crowd of locals and visitors.

Always enjoy our visits to this little country pub, the food has that real home cooked vibe and flavour, just like mum's home cooking, just the place for a run out for Sunday dinner.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but just wanted to write that my family and I dropped in here for Sunday Lunch and it was superb. Excellent food and friendly service. People need to understand what a country pub is and this is quintessentially it - quirky, atmospheric, friendly, good food and drink - very friendly in a charming village. Will definitely drop it again!

Typical small rural village pub. Small dining area. Good friendly service. Nice menu choice with good pub food.

Great traditional pub in a gorgeous village, parking around the back with a no frills beer garden that always catches the sun.

We are on holiday in Taddington, and just come back from a very enjoy enjoyable lunch. Typical village pub. Comfortable and friendly. Enjoyed a drink while waiting for our food, but well worth the wait. Good food properly cooked and well presented. We had roast pork and roast lamb, followed by some very enjoyable ice cream . If we lived here, we would be regular customers.

11 of us called for Sunday dinner, there was a choice of beef, lamb, pork or chicken, tho they’d run out of pork.

Firstly, decide what you want. Do you want a restaurant that serves ale? If you do, this is not the place for you!

This is a quiet, quirky but nice british pub. Food and drinks are both good. It has a very old style and is not a modern pub. Be sure to nip outside and say hello to their resident parrot.

Lovely quiet country pub with a good old feel. Have not eaten here yet but the drinks are very good. Good beer. Quiet place. Relaxing.

Good cold ale served here. A quiet location and a nice one. What many would say is a classic country pub. Good food too and relaxed

This is a lovely pub in a lovely location. If you want to visit somewhere original and natural with no fuss and good beer then this is your place. We are not locals but visit from Buxton often. Beer is great and how it should be. The pub has an old english feel but is comfy and relaxing. they also have a lovely parrot who you can say hello to.

Owners miserable + very run down pub in need of a refurbishment asap. Drinks not to expensive. Would definitely not recommend the food don't no how it can be classed as a restaurant.

Called in with a group of 24 family whilst on a walk around the area. Lovely log fire burning. Welcoming to our large party. Good basic pub food menu. Served our large party quickly and in a friendly manner. Would certainly return when in the area.

I loved this pub! Open coal fires; good, home cooked food; friendly and welcoming ; dogs and children welcome; not a "themed pub" with nick nacks that have no relevance to anything - just a brilliant country pub that serves good beer and food.

Good old fashioned country pub. Lovely real fire was on the go when we turned up. The music wasn't to my taste but the beer was good.

I was staying in the camping barn opposite and visited the Queens for a pint and something to eat .Upon entering I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly atmosphere .There was a coal fire which I was able to thaw my feet out in front of after a day cycling in the snow .They have 1 real ale on the bar - tonight it was Barnsley Bitter , plus a selection of other beers .There was a good choice on the menu and i chose the Lamb Shank off their specials board .It was excellent - one of the best I have had .More beer and conversation with the locals followed .I would thoroughly recommend this pub for drinking and eating
