The Swan in High Peak

Was visiting Buxton (staying at Queens Head) but someone recommended The Swan for its quiz (it is a great pub too). What a fantastic quiz-master - does not stand for cheats who google on their phones! Best version of Stand-up Bingo as well.

What a gem of a place! Friendly staff, no masks, good food, takes cash…! A proper community pub that serve well kept ales. Great food, reasonable prices! Every town needs a pub like this!

We enjoyed a drink in the quirky tartan room of this pub which seems popular with locals. From the red tartan carpet to the pipers, sporrans and prints and other paraphernalia, there is enough here to make any visiting Scot less homesick!

We recently stayed in Buxton for 4 days. This is a great pub. We visited a few times during our stay. The landlord, landlady and bar staff are doing a great job during these difficult times. We found the local people very friendly and had some good chats with them. They gave us some great tips on where to visit.

We went to The Stable Bar near Bakewell and it was a horrible experience so it was good to come here. Very welcoming and friendly staff that followed the covid guidelines.

Recently left the stables bar on one of the walks today and came here instead. Very friendly. Staff are spot on. Drinks are nice and fresh and at a good price. COVID guidelines followed and friendly with it to make sure everyone is safe and not rude at all about it. Nice to sit down and enjoy a drink after a long walk. No stress. Job done right. I'm staying down the road so I will be back.

Used to be a friendly pub with good beer and a good place to watch rugby as well as football. Storm beers gone. What's left are not kept particularly well. Landlord indifferent to customers and it's not a nice place to be anymore. Such a shame

Lovely locals pub, beer kept beautifully. ladies facilities are best I’ve encountered in area, spacious bright & clean. I hope to visit again soon

Went in with friends,we were away on a short break,using it as a meet -up place after dinner.Nice friendly pub,beer was very good and reasonable priced.There was a group with guitars who were singing and it made for a pleasant evening.All in all a proper old fashioned boozer and it was a pleasure to be in there

Lovely old fashioned pub with old fashioned landlord and old fashioned regulars. All qukte happy to talk to you. Wish it was my local

A very good, friendly, traditional and old style pub that served everything we wanted! The staff were friendly too, which is always a bonus. We played games and drank and had a good laugh, I love the old style decor. A proper pub! Our only issue was that we missed the quiz night on Thursday.... that would have been fun!

Good location, good beer. Friendly staff and locals. Made to feel welcome. Great decor, old style pub. Walls are filled with interesting things to look at. Definitely worth nipping in.

Friendly staff nice and good atmosphere on weekends good choices of drinks also open till late on weekends

This pub is the one you would choose as your local. Very good beer, reasonable prices, really nice staff and locals!! Clean. The toilets were a delight as they were do clean and beautifully fitted out.

great little pub to visit with excellent beer and wines and friendly bar staff .. the atmosphere is inviting..

Nipped in for a quick pint while in Buxton for the night, good choice of beer including a fantastic pint from Storm Brewery, one of the best pints I've had for a long long time

Tuesday night is music night in the Swan. If you enjoy hearing good musicians jamming together it is a brilliant night. Even get tasty butties thrown in! Very friendly. This is an old fashioned public house and not a restaurant.

We went into the Swan pub to watch the England match during Euro 2016. The locals were friendly and chatty. The drinks prices were excellent and the atmosphere was brilliant.

Excelent pub 3 guest beers friendly staff busy pub decor is a scottish tarten look very interesting .

went in for a swift pint, not been before. friendly staff and decent beer, a bit quiet when we went in, but it was quite early in the evening.

We enjoyed a couple of nights having a cosy drink. Good beer and friendly staff who were welcoming and knowledgeable about the beers. We will definitely be back next time we are in Buxton.

Again when in buxton.the swan is a must.friendly landlord,that always has a smile,and a hello,and unlike dear pub across the road,wont charge stupid prices..

Didn't eat here just stopped by for a drink.Very nice place with plenty of selection of beers and lagers.Tv's in all the bars so if it's a beer and a sports event then no problem.Staff very pleasant and the whole pub was in a good decorative order

Decor a bit 'tired' but well kept beers and reasonable prices. Pleasant atmosphere, polite bar staff

The bar staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome, such a cosy pub with lovely artefacts from Scotland..... and a nice fire :)

Yep 53 degrees probably plays to the US market and is great trendy bar. The Swan is a traditional not mucked about with English Pub. Although its not a restaurant! And by the way US beer is pretty poor.

Friendly staff and the beer was ok but the pub was real scruffy. Nowhere near as good as 53 Degrees, about a 10 minute walk away.

Came here for pub quiz last thursday. Was a great night and lots of fun. Free to enter and spot prizes half way through. Got to admit it did take a long time though.

A lovely pub, rooms all decorated in different colours,good choice of real ales,quaint and friendly locals and staff

Enjoyed a fair few drinks here the other night! Bar woman was good, drinks well priced, nice atmosphere what more can you ask for in a pub!

Good local, friendly pub. Well kept Storm beer from Macclesfield with Doom Bar, reasonably priced. Stowford Press and Carlsberg not so reasonably priced but atmosphere makes up for it.

As reported in other reviews, a very friendly chatty small pub. Oddly Scottish decor. Milk of Amnesia (Storm Brewing, Macclesfield) is I think the most delicious bitter I have ever tasted (I am an Aussie but have visited England many times). Buxton is also a very interesting town.

This is most surely the friendliest pub in town,, Staff are fantastic day or night, locals are friendly. I recently visited in the day time when I was off work and felt very comfortable. The prices were standard and all very clean and tidy, Well worth a visit

This is a town centre. Set in 3 rooms it serves Macclesfield Brewery beer. Locals are friendly and there is a good quiz on a Thursday night with prizes.

This pub has traditional rooms all done out in different colours of velvet seating - quite spectacular! We loved it and the locals were friendly too.
