The Waterloo Inn in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Totally unpretentious, homely and friendly. Serves good basic food lunchtime and evenings. Very much a village pub and part of the community. A real pleasure to know that places like this still exist. Has an attached campsite.

Just got back from a lovely meal at the Waterloo Inn, staff were friendly and good humoured and the food was hearty and traditional (plus super tasty!). Fully recommend for any weary traveller or otherwise looking for a filling meal. :)

Literally my favorite campsite! Been coming here since I was about 17. I'm 36 now! I intend to keep coming here as long as I can. All the stuff recognize me when I turn up. The last time I came someone said. Last time you was here for a week 😜. I love it so much. The food is fantastic and everyone is amazing. Only an hour is drive from where I live. But I feel like I'm a million miles away. Just how I like it!

This is - I think - my favourite pub in the whole wide world! It is like stepping back in time - in a good way! The staff are amazing. The beer is good. And the food is excellent. I had liver and bacon and my wife had gammon steak. Put all those positives together and you have a winning pub. We loved it so much we are going back tomorrow…

Camped out at campsite rear of pub in vdub.toilets open all night.good beer incl Theakstons Best.enjoyed a 2 nite stay.

Last minute meal needed as our holiday park had a power cut. We turned up after meal service time, but made us very welcome and kept the kitchen open for us. Meals were delicious and massive, good price

Dark and dingy, in need of a good scrub. We ate here yesterday and all i can say is AVOID this pub for food. When our roast dinner came we all said that our roast potatoes were rock hard, little to no vegetables (4 sliced carrots on each of our plates, the roast beef was like shoe leather to the point that our poodle even struggled to eat it. My daughters pizza was not cooked and the home made chips were overdone, very, very poor to think that our bill came to £90 pounds. look elsewhere for food don't waste your hard earned money.

Campsite was excellent facilities need sorting 1 mens toilet for campsite & pub washing up area next to manhole used as elsan, it could be a jem with a little bit of upgrading here & there. Overall though great site in fantastic countryside just needs updating

Great pub and campsite. Just spent a night there and all the staff are great. Throw in proper cooked food and a great place to chill and explore everything on the doorstep makes it a real gem.

A lovely spot to enjoy a pint or a meal outdoors. We ordered Scampi, Chicken Tikka, Spicy Chicken Burger and a vegetarian dish. The food was very well-prepared, but the chips were disappointing. All 4 meals came with chips, which were unfortunately soggy and appeared either refried or left out for a while. When the young server asked how our food was, we mentioned that everything was good except for the chips. We expected him to inform the chef and address the issue, but all we received was an weak apology.

Enjoyed our lunch here. Home made and tasty. Good size portions. Lots of specials to choose from as well as usual menu. Would eat here again definitely.

Friendly pub with good food and good beer.

We have just visited your campsite and your pub. We were happy with the campsite, although it was more expensive than we usually pay, but as we are from Spain where things are generally cheaper (we would normally pay €23 euros ). We realise that things are more expensive in the Uk, what we were disappointed at the wifi coverage only working when you were in the bar. Unfortunately we have Spanish SIM cards in our phones which don’t have data roaming, so we need wifi to connect to the internet.

We stopped here mid-hike for a pint and some cheesy chips. The service was great, really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The cheesy chips were just unreal, I’ll be thinking about them for a long time! Definitely would recommend stopping off on your route for a pint and some chips!

Great local village pub with delicious food 👍

We really enjoyed this pub a great country establishment no frills no airs and graces just a good honest pub. The food looked good. Cooked by the landlady's son. The campsite at the rear was busy even in February I'll definitely go again when I'm in the area

Lovely little tradional pub, one well kept ale. Does food Thursday to sunday but check website for serving time's.

Good food and good beer what more can you ask

The staff are brilliant and very helpful and friendly. The food is fantastic. We stopped at the campsite, you have access to the toilets through the night if required. Will certainly go back for another visit. They also have showers and an outside washing-up area. Thee pub is also dog friendly.

Nice pub, open fire. Stayed at the on-site campsite.

Lovely atmosphere and staff, quick service and great food. Very close to the Tissington trail which was a lovely walk from the Rivendale Retreat. Would definitely recommend.

Great location for a pub but other than that I don’t have many positives to say. The food arrived quickly but the quality and flavour were poor and couldn’t eat half of it. More similar to burger van than pub food. I couldn’t possibly recommend it.

Recently visited this charming pub again in the peak district. It is what we would class as a "proper pub"- great selection of well kept real ales, great staff ( particularly Jan) and good pub food, not overpriced either considering it is in the heart of the peak district, where others have over priced their menu for the tourists. Its got charm too, and clearly well supported by local trade too. These pubs need support!! Particularly after being kicked repeatedly by the authorities during the last 3 years of what must have been hospitality hell. Well done Waterloo. We shall be back next time we visit and thanks for a lovely dinner. Jo and Nick x

What a find! Staying in Hartington we googled pubs near us and this gem was top of the list. The landlady was brilliant and her hospitality, beer, and food were fantastic. As she put it 'we're a pub that sells food, not a restaurant that sells beer!' Long may it continue Waterloo, a great proper boozer with rustic charm, great ale and food and impeccable hospitality, 10 out of 10, we'll be back, thank you. Nick and Jo. Revisited today, just over a year later, great ales, and a proper pub atmosphere, we love this place.

We had an excellent Sunday Roast at the Waterloo a great, friendly traditional pub, we were well looked after by friendly staff and will return when we are on holiday in the area, thank you all.

Staying local so went to Waterloo In for Sunday Roast. We are not fussy eaters but the roast was the worst we'd had. 2 small roast potatoes, tiny bit of mash, lots of peas with a slithering of white cabbage, 2 frozen yorkshires impossible to cut and beef, tough and couldn't cut with the knife supplied. So disappointed. Left most of it. Website advertised £10.95 but charged £12.95. I hope their weekday meals are better but for a Sunday roast I felt robbed.

What a great place, stayed there 2 nights in caravan, price per night really good with electric hookup. Pub itself is small so need to book for food, all the staff are really nice n friendly and the food is to die for, it's superb, proper chips, not out the bag, melt in the mouth fish, hot double spicy chicken burger, game pie, sausage of the week which changes, also has Quorn option, Belgian waffle n ice-cream with toffee sauce, apple crumble n custard, good portions sizes aswell. Couple of real ales on also which change, pub is also dog friendly ( not that we have dog ) . Will definitely be returning.

My experience here, as someone following a gluten free diet, was excellent. There are three homemade pies on the menu all of which come in a gluten free version, steak, lamb and veg. It made a refreshing change to find gluten free pastry on a pub menu. I hope other pubs follow in your footsteps!

Nice pub and beer garden, but the one pump ale ran out Very good baby changing facility

We have had an amazing weekend. A group of us met there for our annual collifest and booked the whole site. Stevie and the staff made us so welcome. The food was great and there was even gluten a d dairy free options. We are all going back again next year

Visited last night for a Sunday roast and what a roast it was! Amazing portion size and absolutely cooked to perfection, lovely staff and a great atmosphere

Customers turned away as lack of staff unable to cope for meals Our meals were excellent on previous visits

We turned up without a reservation. We got served quickly for our drinks and food. The food were very good value and hearty portions. Super friendly.

We had a lovely welcome. Staff very friendly and lovely to our dog giving him treats. Pub not very clean inside or out. Had fish and chips can’t go wrong surely. Overcooked. Chips almost burnt looking but looked like they had been cooked in old fat. Husband had fish pie which he said was good. Wouldn’t eat there again.

Lovely pub with tasty food and drinks will come back again

Great place for camping friendly staff all services you need, not fancy which is how I like it and it's dog friendly.

Lovely country pub great, campsite, lots of walking around the area

What a great pub with delicious meals. Thoroughly recommend

Excellent pub, lovely people and the food was amazing, home cooked, delicious and good sized portions.

Very nice place. Walks galore in beautiful derbyshiire

Yeah it's was alright I'd go again. We stopped in our small camper for the night. It was £25 for one night and then you had to buy your food aswell which is strange as most pubs I know just make you buy some grub and booze from the pub so it's a costly night stay or it could be after a few to many 🤣. Apart from that it was decent food and the facilities were clean.

Very pleasant olde worlde pub in a lovely location. Great beer garden plenty of space. Not eaten there but menu looked good. Its always a great place for an after hike pint.

Proper country pub with a warm welcome and spot on ales.

A great walkers/caravan site pub with a nice atmosphere & attentive friendly staff. A good menu, the food was home cooked & delicious & they served a good range of beers. The chips were a little burnt this time but we won't let that put us off!

A pleasant unplanned stop for a drink and light lunch. Great value tasty good. Good range of beers and spirits. Polite helpful service from the staff. Nice outside area to watch the world go by just a short stroll off the Tissington trail

Without question the best pub food I've had for years if not ever. Fantastic choice, lovely taste, good sized portions. Served without delay by very friendly staff. Worth booking in advance to ensure getting a table.

Very nice pub with peaceful campsite to the rear. Staff friendly and helpful. Excellent food and good beer to go with it. A long bus ride to buxton though.

Friendly staff and decent no frills food at reasonable prices.

Perfect pub and campsite. Great food and picturesque location.

Great little pub . Very friendly staff and good food.

Attended to find the club rally had been cancelled. We'd travelled some distance the campsite behind the pub was fully booked, landlord Steve moved some of the staffs vehicles and allowed us to squeeze in next to the site entrance, all he asked in return was we popped in for a couple of drinks. Fantastic friendy staff great beer, beautiful pub and village will definitely call again. Thank you

A local local. Very nice fish pie.

We visited the Waterloo Inn and stayed on the campsite. Site was lovely. Nipped into pub for a couple of pints. Staff very friendly, great pint too. Didn't stay for food but looked amazing. Definitely be back!

Camped behind the pub and had a few drinks. Everyone very helpful and friendly and served an excellent pint.

Lovely village pub with old school feel about it. Nice,efficient staff.Good range of drinks and some very tasty,home cooked food which was really well priced.

Great place great beer great food

One of my favourite pubs in the peaks. Great friendly service, good food, lovely cosy pub. Me my wife and little girl went there every day over our xmas holiday and loved it.

Had some drinks there, nice friendly service, good prices. Then booked dinner for 4 on New years day! Beef Roast, beef was the toughest I've ever had the misfortune to try and cut! Lets hope the new year turns out better than the beef!🤣

Lovely, traditional pub. Very friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere. Food was good and great value for money.

Great stop of on rainy walk. Nice welcome and warm fire

Beautiful Peak District and a nice pub

Excellent. Good food and real ales. Proper pub with a log fire.

a very nice place, we did not dine a part a few snacks, the Sunday lunchs looked very generous with a lot of meat,

Nice trditional pub with well kept beer. We had beef and ale pie which was a bit bland. It was served with white cabbage and cauliflower with mashed potatoes so the plate looked colourless. Friendly staff.

Spent a weekend at their campsite. Really enjoyed it lovely little site. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. We had dinner in the pub and the food was really good and reasonably priced Good portions. Would recommend so long as you can manage without WiFi.

Nice caravan site and good beer and food very friendly staff and local people

Great locals pub with super food and very friendly mein host 🙂

Really enjoyed our first visit to The Waterloo. Had gammon, fried eggs, chips and peas....lovely meal and the chips were fantastic. There was also a lovely lady behind the bar who was so friendly and attentive. A really nice pub, especially after a long walk in the local area.

Went here for lunch yesterday and it was lovely . Had the veggie lasagne and it was so tasty , came with chips , salad and coleslaw a big portion too . Hubby had fish and chips and said it was really good and tasty , highly recommend a visit . Barmaid/ waitress was lovely and welcoming . Place is a bit ruff around the edges but clean and welcoming x

Lovely local pub with nice tasty food and very warm people. You just can’t walk past this place ! Go in !!

Delicious food. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed here over the weekend camping, the staff are amazing, they are so friendly and helpful, it’s a beautiful place to stay, the food and drinks are amazing 10 out of 10 would recommend camping here we will definitely be going back!

Lovely homely country pub, Lovely food, staff are amazing madecus feel very welcome including our dog who was a tad grumpy but she thoroughly enjoyed her doggy dinner

Lovely place and very dog friendly 😊

Definitely not a 4.5 rating. We was staying in the area at a cottage. Wanted somewhere to go for tea on our first night here. Mmm both my husband and I had the steak pie with chips with veg. The pie tastied as if it was made then shoved in the microwave as the pastry was weird. Chips were OK but anaemic. Broccoli and carrots were aldente but hard and dried up. Best part was the peas. My daughters scampi was good but can't go wrong with that I suppose. Rather put a damper on the start of the holiday. Best part of the evening was the beer festival so my husband had a few beers. Won't be returning for food anyway in the future.

Lovely evening meal sat outside in the sunshine. We had booked in advance. The food was standard pub fare. Tasty and served hot. The most impressive part of the meal was the service. Orders taken just at the right time, meals arriving without us having to wonder what was happening to the order, timely clearing of plates between courses. If only everywhere we ate out had service like this! The mains portions were very generous, so my son and I could not manage a pudding. My husband managed to find room for what he described as a particularly nice apple crumble.

Traditional pub in a lovely setting serving excellent pub food at a good price. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and a big thanks to them & the chef who managed to fit us in for meals even though we were after the cut off time on Fri and again when they were already fully booked on Sat. (Should have pre booked early I know!) Both meals were great. We stayed in the campsite at the rear of the pub using the pub, which has all the facilities you need (shower room, washing up area, water, electric hook up & use of the pub toilets - basic but adequate and clean). A nice peaceful site surrounded by lovely places and great for walking. Will definitely try to return.

We had lunch here before our walks near Thor's Cave. Plenty choices on lunch menu. Burger was great but fish & chips not. Chips could be improved. However, the service was quick and attentive.

Great food, warm atmosphere & friendly proprietors

Good ales and beers nice place to sit outside

Great traditional pub in a really nice village. Friendly staff and locals. Fantastic beer garden I could have sat there all day enjoying the sunshine and views. A choice of traditional cask ales as well as a few lagers and ciders. Great pitstop if your doing the Tissington trail.

Quick visit while on a bike ride,kids and families have a great time in the sun people eating lovely home cooked food ,would recommend, hoping to come and stay at the caravan site soon

Fantastic food and even better staff. If you go in and the "mature" barmaid is on, call her Doris and tell her Sam sent you.

Fantastic little hidden gem. Friendly people great food and the campsite is so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely visit again

Arrived to find this quaint pub in the middle of a beautiful village. What a lovely small and friendly campsite. The facilities are clean, the showers are great(that's rare).We found everyone to be super friendly and the food being served was outstanding. No wonder they where always busy. We will definitely be back.

Really comfy traditional pub with tasty food and great service.

Great pub has a boules pitch outside, does real ales about 3 to choose from. Also does food didn't have any bit it was busy so I'm guessing it's nice. AND it has a campsite behind it.

camping for a long weekend and cycling, great location, fabulous pub with a well priced campsite, would recommend 👍

Great place to stop off for lunch whilst cycling the Tissington Trail.

Delightful village pub, good choice of food and drink, outside seating, toilets, great for a lunch stop while walking the nearby trails.

Brilliant pub.. Really friendly staff.. Great location for walks and fantastic value for money for food. Highly recommend. Great beer garden. They even cater for horses!!

Nice friendly pub lovely pot of tea and chips beware of locals selling eggs some are NOT free range look for the lion stamp LOL.

Went for lunch with family.. weather was good so we sat outside in the garden. Service was fast, food good. Will definitely go again.

Lovely country pub. Great for relaxing in the sun with a nice drink. Haven’t tried the food yet so can’t comment on that….

Lovely traditional pub very pleasant staff only had a couple of drinks and some very nice roast potatoes on Sunday evening very good experience

Nice pint. Good spot.. Stopped here after a detour from a bike ride 🍻 🚴

Good beer, friendly owner, cosy interior good views and outdoor seating. Dog and veggie friendly...

Really nice pub with really friendly people running it. This is well worth a visit.

Very welcoming and polite , food excellent.

Welcoming drinking and meal station after a long walk or bike ride. TopTip: book your table in advance on a weekend .. lovely to see Jan behind the bar .. attached to a great little Touring Caravan Park
