The Wheatsheaf in Derbyshire Dales

We were going to eat but typical Marstons ridiculous beer pricing so didn't bother and won't be returning. Shame as we used to like it here

Will not be returning. Not sure if it was the manager or the person in charge on Sunday evening. He more or less threw the menus at us. He was rude to staff to the point where my husband told a member of staff he didn’t like his attitude. The food wasn’t hot and considering there was a 30% discount on mains was still expensive. The one saving grace was the sweets were lovely. Also wine £12 a glass. It’s a pity, as we were staying in the area. Had we had a good experience we would have probably returned for another meal.

We ordered a Chicken & chorizo kebab and gammon steak. Both were served quickly and tasty. Good service by friendly staff

We stayed at The Wheatsheaf and enjoyed drinks, a snack lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast. Everything was excellent from the good real ale, food and wine choice and a spacious, clean and comfortable room. Full marks to Laura,Jack and everyone in the kitchen for their efficient and friendly service. The attention to food allergies and preferences was spot on. Thank you.

Stunning country pub in a really lovely setting. Very cosy, homely feel with a real warm welcome. Sunday roast was absolutely perfect, the kids enjoyed playing in the large garden whilst we finished off our drinks in the sun!

We had a lovely meal but the waiter was very rude asked for vinegar and he brought 2 empty bottles to the table felt like he thrown the food at us not that busy the barman Josh was lovely and apologised for him and also the young lady was very pleasant. I have been in hospitality most of my life and think it was the worst experience I ve had by the so called gentleman obviously doesn t like his job, Sad because the food was also very good.

Excellent food and Excellent service. Stopped by chance on our way to Buxton. Stopped on the way back aswell as we were so impressed...

Excellent service. Food quality was good and came quickly. Dog friendly and with treats for them as they arrive. Perfect for families.

If you like cheap frozen food that takes 5 minutes from freezer to plate. You will be fine. My husbands chicken burger was so iver cooked the cob was covered in extra sauce to make it moist. Which made the bread soppy. Chips were the cheapest and cooked so they were hard. The slaw was soggy and we have both been unwell with tummy ache. The staff were friendly though. Not much choice for Vegan or GF. Wallpaper hanging off and mould in the dining room.

Visited twice this month, food was okay, I’d say not value for money for food as nothing sparkling and kids meals were basic, especially the garlic bread which was as a quarter of a roll, which was over toasted. The play park is lovely as is garden and the bar staff Sunday were nice , but service from staff serving outside on both occasions was poor, the staff had zero customer service and today the young girl was rude and miserable

We stayed for 2 nights, having stayed here several times before. As always, the staff are welcoming and helpful and greet all customers with a friendly attitude. Our room was clean and comfortable - could do with hooks or a towel rail in the bathroom to dry the towels, but otherwise everything good. The food is delicious! Our waiter - so sorry Monsieur, I can't remember your name - was excellent 👌 and added to our experience. We will be back!! Top tip - book direct at the hotel or on the Marstons website to get 20%off evening meals and 10%off breakfast. 😉

Lovely meal, good food, friendly and swift service and nice ambience. The quality of the experience better than the last time, quality of food and range of healthy options defo improved.

The pub was fairly quiet when we entered at 6:15. Ordered drinks at the bar. Shown to a table. Told to order food at the bar. We ordered steak pie and a prawn tagliatelle. After a 30min wait I went to the bar re delay in food. Informed that the pie was prepared fresh and it takes 30 mins. Went back to our table and saw another couple who had come in after us served with the same meal. After 50 mins went back to the bar. Waitress was just coming out with our meals. The tagliatelle looked as if it had been sat under the heater. Looked very small. Cost £19.95. Steak pie was sat on small amount of mash with the smallest amount of pies you have ever seen. Cost £16.95. Refused the meal and got a refund. Service poor. Food not worth the price!!

Fantastic service from the team at The Wheatsheaf tonight. Booked meal for 8:3pm family flying in and flight was delayed by over an hour. We ordered and our meal was kept until they arrived at nearly 9:20pm. Food was very good, very hot and well presented. Really appreciate the service we received by a great team. Nothing was too much trouble even accommodating our son who is gluten free. Well done guys 😁

I have been seriously ill for months and recently starting to feel a bit better - we only live a few miles away and visited the nearby Chatsworth House on my birthday. I wasn't up to driving far and have had good meals here before so it was a perfect place for two nights as a first social outing for six months and getting used in public to a medical device I now have. When we arrived I was using a walking stick and the member of staff who booked us in kindly carried our luggage up to the room for us - a nice start to the trip. The room was comfortable and meals up to the usual high quality for both evening and breakfast. All staff were pleasant and made sure we had a great stay. Oh - and a decent pint of beer - Pedigree. An excellent stay and highly recommended.

What a fabulous place!! So glad we came across the Wheatsheath. The breakfast is amazing, such good value, lovely food and fab service. An absolute gem. Definitely recommend it, you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely family meal. Food was excellent. Lovely atmosphere and staff were lovely. Laura was brilliant. Very attentive and polite. Will definitely visit again.

Food spot on.. Staff friendly, fun and professional (thanks for the lemon). Was very busy but not long to wait for food; service good

Amazing, scuff on don’t know what they’re doing on. Day are helpful nice and they know what they do when they are very nice

Did Sunday lunch at the Wheatsheaf. Service was second to none. Lunch was huge and so tasty and average price. Definitely be back!

We had the most amazing mixed grill here, perfection! Great atmosphere, super doggy friendly and very welcoming staff. We enjoyed it so much we returned on the Sunday to try the roasts but unfortunately they had sold out. I tried the sign burger instead, Delicious. Many thanks to The Wheatsheaf 😊

Great food, good service, all the team was lovely and professional, I can't recommend anyone to be honest!!!!! Menu caterers for all tastes. Lovely desserts. Definitely recommend the place

I recently visited the Wheatsheaf and have nothing bad to say whatsoever. Everybody was lovely and accommodating. I had the mixed grill with a side of garlic bread and my girlfriend had the lasagna. It was cooked to perfect by the amazing chefs Ashleigh and David. The waiter staff were all amazing and special shoutouts to Ryan, Charley and Natalie for our amazing service.

Stayed in the car park for 2 nights with Britstops. Had breakfast, dinner and nachos - all food and drinks were very good! Good atmosphere and the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. 4 excellent cask ales on, and only 20 minutes walk to Chatsworth House.

The two of us ordered the three course lunch menu for £18 each. The first course came and all ok. Tue 2nd course was fish and chips and we thought “wow the fish is big , it was meant to be coujons” we thought no more of it. We had desert with a cup of tea. I paid the bill and walked out. Then realised that the £67 bill should have been about £45. I went back to discuss and the the front of house said that we had the full fish and chips and not the coujons that we had ordered. He said it was the waitresses fault. The front of house guy was French we think and to be honest had a real bad attitude from the moment we walked in. Not very welcoming, snappy and not customer friendly. Rather than get into a big argument that probably would get the waitress into trouble I just walked out. The front of house didn’t even offer to put the matter right or apologise. Very poor customer service. Be assured we will not be returning again and will not advise any of my friends or colleagues to visit either.

A lovely lunch. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Good food and pleasant atmosphere. My favourite place to meet with family

I need to be honest and say that although the staff were great and efficient , we were disappointed in the food. It was ok but after reading the Tripadvisor reviews was expecting more. Meat was ok but not great and the cauliflower cheese didn’t taste of cheese!!! It was so busy which is great for business but with so many other pubs in the area we will give this a miss for a bit. Shame really

We first had tea and then went for a walk. The staff were so friendly that we booked for an early evening meal. The meal was excellent as was the service. Laura, who we had met in the morning and in the evening was truly amazing. She made us so welcome and certainly went that extra mile in making our evening so pleasant. Thank you so much.

Great meal really helpful with our food allergies The best meal I've eaten in a long time The staff were so friendly and helpful And they let dogs in too and also have a doggy menu aswell

Visited twice here now with my father, had a work’s breakfast (two of everything) absolutely spot on once again, lovely latte coffee. Really enjoyed. Great staff, reasonably priced. Look forward to visiting again. 👍🏻

This was a solid menu, with lots of traditional offerings for all tastes. The inside is pleasant and there is a large beer garden. It was very busy when we were there but service was very quick and the food tasty.

Great service and great food, consistently every time. Staff great with kids, never act flustered or too busy to help even when there is a lot of people.

Lovely meal and hosts we stay at the caravan site a couple of times a year and always make this our first night meal. Loved the doggy menu

A big thanks to the staff at the Wheatsheaf for looking after us after we were stranded as a result of the heavy rain/floods. They provided hot drinks and a safe place for us to stay. Great community spirit!

On our way back from Chesterfield to Hazel Grove towing our caravan during storm babet, the caring and friendly staff invited us in due to the river bursting its banks and flooding Baslow. They provided hot drinks and warmth and up to date information until the flood water subsided, enough for us to continue our journey home. We would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf knowing that you would be well looked after. We will return, under better circumstances, to say thank you and enjoy their company and look forward to a chance to sample their menu. A huge thank you to all at the Wheatsheaf who helped us and many others during a difficult journey home.

We did not book and the place look busy however the staff saw us and straight away we had a table with menus and 2 minutes after a very nice guy ( French I suppose with his accent)) came to take our drink order who was with us couple of minute later. The food was excellent and generous . My partner did enjoy the vibes and the deco of the place. Definitely a place to go to have a good time.

Great nights , great atmosphere, Great staff. Very welcoming dog friendly, lovely gardens, food was well worth the money, situated near most tourists attractions in derbyshire peak district.

Stop on the way home for a meal. Happily surprise by the professionally of the waitresses/ters from the welcoming to the bill and by the excellent quality of the food. And icing on the cake the prize which was reasonable compare to other pubs. Over...

The service was excellent and friendly. Outside area really nice. The food was nice and would reckon a sunny day to eat outside

My husband and I stayed for an exquisite evening meal at the Wheatsheaf in Baslow. We were welcomed by a lovely barman with blonde hair, who’s name we unfortunately forgot to learn. We ordered from a selection of fine ales, which I would easily recommend and rate at a 5 out of 5. We started with the Camembert which was accompanied with toast and red onion chutney and was absolutely wonderful. We each had a ribeye steak cooked medium and to perfection for our main course. Excellent service and fair prices. Ten out of ten.

Great staff very nice food for a decent price. Can recommend the chicken avocado salad. Would definitely come again.

We went for a meal but after taking an age to get our drinks and poor service we decided not to eat and left after waiting over half an hour.

What a great family place. Friendly, great parking, playground and really accommodating for dogs. The only reason I scored the Wheatsheaf so low was the execution of the steak. £21 for a surf and turf which was a massive disappointment - flavourless and chewy. Probably...

What a busy place this was on a Saturday night in September. This is a big restaurant/bar/pub with lots of seats inside and a great pit garden with a little play area fit kids. The menu is wide and diverse and the place is well...

Visited the Wheatsheaf again and still delivered 5 star food with 5 star service. Great to have somewhere so consistant to visit. Food was hot and plentyful, the service was efficient and friendly. Such a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a Sunday roast and a pint

Absolutely great for children and dogs the food and service was fantastic! Thankyou for a wonderful experience.

Great modern pub food, broad menu, quickly delivered. Experience only marred by a rude customer next to us who ranted about a minor unavailable food item as the pub was busy, and walked out without paying. If his review is bad, it isn't a fair...

This is a lovely pub in terms of being pet and child friendly. However, we did encounter some small problems, in all honesty the prices are very high for the quality of the food in which there is room for improvement as it is ok...

Called in after reading good reviews. Very disappointed with food. I had lasagne which tasted nice but portion pretty small, dish very shallow and served with 2 small pieces garlic bread and some very sad and discoloured lettuce and dry cucumber. My partner had steak...

Friendly staff. Easy to book online. Food of a good standard and tasty. Prices are reasonable for area . Pub is also dog friendly.

Excellent pub food. Good service and real ale . We’re able to find a large table to sit together comfortably. Couldn’t ask for more thank you.

Great food and service! Menu caterers for all tastes. Lovely desserts. Friendly staff very clean place.

Great for good wholesome food...we had a lovely evening meal here and breakfast the following day. The owners are fairly new and were very welcoming. We were made to feel very welcome and we left very full! A lovely homely place.

Anniversary meal, both chose 8oz steak which was very fatty and hard to cut. Lots of gristle and not enjoyable at all. Raised my concerns with the manager who hadn’t come back to check all was well. Pub was busy but wouldn’t recommend for an...

was good and we enjoyed the food and the place every things was good except the fact we had to wait a while for service

A lovely Monday night meal with friends. This warm, welcoming pub was the ideal place for our visit to Barlow. A good choice of lovely pub food on the menu and a good selection gins and beers at the bar. The staff, particularly Michelle, were...

Dropped in for supper on a Monday evening. Quite busy but managed to get a table. Food ok for pub food. Wouldn’t rush back in the future

Decided to pop into the WHEATSHEAF for the 1st time this morning for some breakfast, at about 10:30. My father and I ordered a Full English each and a round of toast each. Waited about 15-20 mins for food to arrive which is fine as...

Booked table in bar, with dog (confirmed by 2 emails and text). Arrived 10 minutes late (got lost on way there). Seemed cluttered with furniture, empty bottles and dirty glasses all over bar. Child climbing on furniture in bar. Waited 5 minutes to get served...

Had a stunning meal with out standing service from Michelle we were made to feel welcome as soon as we entered, and quickly found a seat although we hadn't booked 😊 within minutes we had ordered our drinks and they had arrived we then ordered...

Came in for a Sunday lunch after being at Chatsworth, got to say the food was very tasty and our waitress Laura was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come again.

Arrived early but was directed to a table by our waitress Laura who was very professional and courteous with a brilliant smile and would definitely recommend this pub.

Visited on speck, never been before. Greeted warmly and seated immediately, plenty of other people in but not over crowded. Food service was prompt, attentive and very pleasant. Food was excellent, home made and delicious. Will definitely be back.

I had the chicken and chorizo kebab with onion rings added as recommended by Michelle our waitress although it was very busy Michelle made sure we had more drinks when we needed them and attended to our every need wonderful service Great meal everyone enjoyed...

Just had a lovely meal at The Wheatsheef in Baslow. Not been for years and soooooo looking forward to going back already. The food was lovely, the staff were very welcoming and our Waitress Michelle was excellent.

Excellent base for visiting Derbyshire whether walking or touring. Literally on the doorstep of Chatsworth Park. Stayed here for 3 nights. A return visit but new management etc since last visit. Bedrooms have been refurbished and very smart. Very clean, good bed linens and towels...

Oh Guys, read this??? Baslow is great. Please do not go to this terrible, overpriced, under experienced waste of time staff! There are many lovely places to go, direct mail me and I will tell you. But Just avoid this place

We met up for dinner with some friends at the Wheatsheaf at Baslow . What a great choice for dinner, a good menu selection, very good service, warm friendly atmosphere and particularly good food. I had the cheese potato and leek pie with veg, chips...

Bank holiday coronation weekend, called in for lunch, busy and noisy, we requested a table in the bar area but the chap serving/ waiting insisted we ate in the very busy and noisy restaurant area , he said it’s much nicer! Sadly it was spoilt...

Lovely pub which allows dogs, very helpful staff and very nice food, small menu but very nicely cooked. I had the curry which was delicious 1 had the gammon which was also very good.

A really lovely pub!! Dog friendly which makes it all the better. We love the little Dog House station with water, treats and a towel! Really good idea. We stumbled upon The Wheatsheaf by accident. But they have been so accommodating. We were able to...

Lovely food, service erratic. Long waits for dessert menu and dessert. Went up to pay rather than another wait for the bill! No one person seemed to be assigned to our part of the room, all of the staff going all over which was muddling...

Had a super lunch today. The food was exceptional, and the staff was attentive and ready to go with their personal recommendations, but we have to say Laura was top-notch and deserves a medal. We will definitely be back soon

Richie on the bar was a legend. When he found out it was my girlfriends birthday he was super kind and did everything he could to make our experience better. Legend

This is my local pub go at least 5 times a week food is lovely , staff are all friendly especially Shelly , who always makes sure everything, is good , recommend everyone to try it

The food here is superb with a menu of great choices. The staff are friendly and efficient. We were served today by Michelle who took such good care of us, ensuring our comfort. We would certainly recommend this place.

Meal out with friends whilst staying at the CAMC site at Chatsworth house. Nice location, food very good, tasty and good value for money. Our server Michelle was very welcoming and attentive.

Friendly and comfortable pub with very good food. Perfectly cooked haddock and chips… certainly not cheap, but worth the cost (£17 for fish & chips )

This was a return trip for us. A nice dog friendly area in the bar. Staff are always polite and engaging. Food is well cooked and good choice of options. Mixed grill is excellent. Always been busy when we visit so we plan to book...

Enjoyed a lovely little meal after a long walk. The lovely young man Jude showed us to our table, and was extremely welcoming, attentive and helpful. He certainly has a bright future ahead of him; wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a management role...

Nothing was too much trouble for our waitress, Michelle. She adapted the menu for our young granddaughter. Thank you for personalising our dining experience 👍 Food, drinks and atmosphere good and well worth a visit.

Picturesque location. Lovely food, we had steaks and ham hock, the ham is out of this world tasty. Great service & well priced. Very friendly staff too

Called in for a drink after a long drive, staff friendly, great ambience, the manager Richie was really helpful and welcoming everything you expect from a good bar man cheery and chatty, we will be back in the morning for breakfast

Stayed for one night whilst visiting Bakewell. The managers and staff were exceptionally friendly and so helpful. Our room was very clean and the bed large, extremely comfortable, so a good nights sleep was had. A nicely cooked and much appreciated breakfast was enjoyed before...

Just had a lovely meal at The Wheatsheaf: the ham hock. Really nicely cooked and very tasty, and big enough for even the largest appetite. We were well served by Joe - thanks 😊

Another lovely visit to the Wheatsheaf. Popped in for a meal without any reservation. Staff are all very pleasant and approachable, and happy to engage in a conversation. Staff were constantly cleaning tables and the bar area. Had a tasty meal including a gluten free...

Lovely relaxed dining. Great service. Steak delicious. Great location, near Chatsworth. Came on a snowy evening, very welcoming and cosy.

Last minute decision but booked online. Warm welcome, table ready. Michelle who took our order was very friendly and helpful with menu. We opted for two starters, a big bowl of nachos to share followed by cauliflower wings and salad. Laura our server was very...

Excellent food, highly recommended. Easy to book a table online and served really quickly. Also very well looked after by Laura.

Stopped over in our motorhome in the car park. Nice quiet pub friendly staff on the night, fish and chips were that good I had them again the following night. Breakfast was a bit disappointing it was ok just had to mention to the lad...

We liked the pie and mash, the ale was very nice, well served in a nice atmosphere. Important to book, very easy to do on line.

We looked forward to returning and dining at the Wheatsheaf as we have memories with parents from many years ago. We were soon to be very dissapointed by our choice. I must say firstly the staff were excellent, polite, friendly and very obliging. I had...

lovely place, staff are really kinda and attentive. Place was a lot busier than they had expected and so there was only three staff on, Michelle, Connor and Kareem who still managed to do everything and got our drinks and food to us in very...

We all had Sunday lunch. Meat was nice, but the veg was hard, parsnips looked microwaved, green beans didn't even have the hard stem removed. Also, on previous visit for a drink, one if the waitresses was openly rude to people.

Feel I have been kind giving this place an average rating! First criticism the menus were dirty and all copies had food stains on them. Staff to say the least were poorly turned out.......don't think jeans are appropriate. Food was expensive and really if I...

Slightly dissapointed to say the least , 3 dishes I asked for were not available , even my choice of dessert ( apple & pear crumble ) was not available … When my fish and chips did arrive they were pretty much what you’d expect...

I took a group of hungry walkers in after our walk. I had previously taken down everyone’s food choice to ensure there were enough Sunday dinners for them. We arrived back earlier than expected. A separate room had been set up for us. We got...

Thursday evening visit for dinner. Dog friendly with treats and water. Log burner on. Staff welcoming and friendly. Food was lovely and good portions. Great price. Would recommend.
