The Yorkshire Bridge Inn Restaurant in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We only popped in for a drink after visiting the Ladybower reservoir which is very close by. There is plenty of parking, but it was quite full, which conflicted with the number of customers in the bar; I sadly think people exploit the car park. We just had a drink- prices were reasonable, service was good, and they are dog friendly. I used the toilets, which were clean. I would return and consider eating there too.

Lovely place for any occasion. I love the dog free section so we can allergen free ( there an areas dogs are welcome). The food was tasty, fresh and good choice. We will definitely return.

Used to be a lovely pub with great atmosphere and traditional food. Taken over and will he my last visit as they are throwing everything at it- a BBQ outside with the smoke billowing over everyone and so had to move and the rudest staff member who then was picking ar the BBQ food and tyen serving the food without washing her hands- DISGUSTING. Will be going to the Ladybower round the corner as far better

Walked in, walked up to bar, bar staff made sure they finished their conversation before serving me. Oh, and...wait for it...£6.60 for a pint of ordinary Guiness!!!! Honestly, on what planet should you be charging this much money for a pint of Guinness??? Most places I've been in recently charge around £4.50 on average. Lovely place and decor but certain things need addressing

Booked Sunday lunch here as recommended for its Gluten Free menu. Turns out the GF option just means no Yorkshire pudding and stuffing on your roast, with no alternative or apology. Unacceptable. And the GF lager on tap was also unavailable. Left without ordering.

Very enjoyable stay in one of the 'family' rooms - comfortable and quiet, faultless evening meal and breakfast, all with pleasant and attentive service.

The food was tastless, the chicken in the cesar salad was dry, hard and no flavour whatsoever, the service by one of the managers was terrible, she was rude and not helpful at all. The place was beautiful and clean however I will never go back for a meal again, maybe for a drink if I am in the area as there isn't any other pub around it.

Lovely friendly pub. Dog friendly too - they have bowls behind the bar which they’ll put fresh water in for the dog. Food was delicious and arrived quickly; sensibly priced. Spacious eating / bar area and very well presented throughout. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our meal, very tasty chickpea curry in particular. Friendly, efficient service and dogs allowed in too. Great location, good parking.

Stunning. I've been going there for over 40 years on a regular basis - I have never been disappointed with the food, the service and the atmosphere. 5 STARS well done.

We visited here recently on a trip to Ladybower, the food was lovely, great portions and the staff friendly and efficient. The inn is dog friendly as well which was an extra plus for us, They have ample car parking and is easily accessible, lovely clean toilets which is always nice.

So disappointed to find my favourite lasagne is no longer on the menu. Don’t mind new dishes being added, but PLEASE keep your wonderful lasagne.

The Yorkshire Bridge is often our go to place for great food in the evening or after a long walk on a Sunday afternoon. We recently visited and were eager to try something from the new menu. With lots of choices, it didn’t disappoint. Theres still some of the old favourites like steak and kidney pie, but it was really nice to see some new dishes. Our starters were well presented and very tasty. For a main, I went for the chickpea curry served with rice and an onion bhaji, which I will definitely have again. The chicken was served with tasty vegetables and our desserts were the icing on the cake, the sticky toffee pudding was huge! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. All in all, a great experience. We will definitely be returning to try something else from the new menu in the near future. Dawn & Chris

Stayed here one night as in the area. Also had booked a table in the restaurant for evening meal. Haven’t been or eaten here for over 25 years so a lot to live up to in my memory. Place has expanded since I was last here. Extensions for accommodation and the restaurant were obvious to me. That’s got to be good as this place is and was always busy due to where it is. We got in late afternoon and checked in. Bar and restaurant was busy with afternoon walkers. Staff were attentive and friendly. Check in was efficient. Room was small but just what we needed for 1 night. Bar service was good. Enough choice of beer. Moonshine was well kept. Returned to the restaurant for early evening and table was ready. Waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Food choice is somewhat limited but still enough choice and specials board bolsters this up. I remember the menu being more extensive years ago but then this place has changed and is a bigger establishment now. Had a good nights sleep with a very good full English breakfast. No complaints and fairly reasonable pricing all told. Would recommend if you are in the area and need a place to stay and be well watered and fed.

What a smashing cosy pub. Stayed here 3 nights. Spotless rooms, very friendly helpful staff & meals wonderful. (Would recommend the Lasagne - its lovely). Lovely walks in the area Will be back definitely.

Visited here for lunch whilst waking with friends. Excellent pub and equally good staff. Really flexible and helpful and offered table service as we were a large party. Quick and efficient service and the young girl who was our waitress was excellent. Food was all brilliant. Large portions. Freshly cooked and really delicious washed down with great beer. Not much more we could ask for. Dog friendly and an all round great experience. Hope to return again and would strongly recommend.

Very lovely spot for the pub, lovely staff and really nice service. Would recommend 100%. Best option in the area baving tried others in Bamford.

Great value for money. Lovely Inn with friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Food was amazing and the room was lovely.

First time I’ve been to this pub . Such a nice warm welcome Great food and service. Will definitely be going again soon.

Usually give a place a second chance when been disappointed been eating lunch here many times over few years summer and winter indoors and outside always enjoyed a trip out ,about an hours drive . However this was their third chance sorry to say very unlikely to be returning . Staff are always pleasant beer v nice and food served quickly maybe too quickly judging by the quality of late very disappointing .In addition am not feeling the best after today's visit !! Sorry guys you probably need a new chef !

Food was served quickly, but for me it was just mediocre. Lasagne was lacking in flavour. Toilets very out of keeping with the rest of the property. Visited the Anglers Rest last night and it was much better. Disappointed in comparison as it’s not exactly cheap.

What a fabulous place. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious and our room spot on! Great atmosphere of a busy and well liked pub and hotel. Just the perfect place to rest after a day walk in the glorious Peak District.

Lovely place warm friendly and welcoming. Fire on toilets clean. Really dog friendly. Great food and good service. Popular stop off for walkers

Turned up just after lunch on a Sunday afternoon, we sat outside as it was a little busy and after a while it had just started to drizzle. We hadn’t asked for a table inside but one of their staff came to clear glasses outside and let us know he’d found a table for 4 of us inside which was really nice of them. Felt lovely and cosy inside once we’d come in from the cold. Nice pub food and a nice atmosphere. Would go here again if I was looking for food in the area.

I’ve been past this place so many times while on my way to a hike in the hills and finally called in and was so glad I did. Me my partner and our daughter had a lovely meal, the place was very busy but the food came out really quick and was tasty and good value for money, its clearly a very popular place and rightly so……we’ll definitely be back.

Great food and service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good prices and would definitely recommend

Let me start with the positives.. staff are friendly, the place is clean and the food came out pretty quickly and hot. So definitely some positives. But the food itself is only OK at best. There aren't many other places to eat close by and so -- as you'd expect - the one place serving food in such a situation doesn't have to try too hard to make money. So it doesn't. Soup and a sandwich for lunch. Both were pretty bland and the prices were on the high side for what was - after all - microwaved standard pub fare. ( sandwiches come with a small salad.. not fries or crisps which have to be bought separately ) At the time of writing the Angler's Rest a little way along the road was not doing hot food because of some renovations... but that looked to be a pretty promising alternative that we will try next time we are around this area. Or we may just pack a lunch/drive to Castleton which as a lot more choice. If you do have to stop here you won't have a bad experience -- staff are friendly/ there is hot food and drink etc etc... It'll be fine. But just that.

Great place great food very helpful recommend lovely rooms looked after us used there garage to put bikes in

I wouldn’t recommend stopping here if you have dogs with you. We were following a pub walks book with dog friendly pubs at the end so called in as a family of four with our three dogs. From the moment we entered the service was terrible, the staff behind the bar were very rude and had a bad attitude. They were impatient holding out the card machine waiting for payment as if we were taking too long and it was a problem for them. They then asked us if we wanted to move tables because they were worried someone might step on the dogs (pretending to be concerned), we said no we’re okay sitting here thank you (as we were already de-camped with our two kids and moving would have been a lot of effort). The dogs were very well behaved sitting and lying quietly next to the table. The staff then kept making rude comments about the dogs being in their way and giving rude looks. It was actually a chair from another table and a high chair that were in the way - not the dogs. Normally in dog friendly pubs you get friendly staff that will interact with you and your dogs - not here! The staff are rude. The pub isn’t anything special, and because of this we wouldn’t return.

My wife and I love this Inn - it’s always been a ‘go to’ venue as a family since we used to live in Sheffield and it was ‘Mum’s favourite place’. Excellent staff, excellent food (especially the Steak and Kidney Pie) and nothing is too much trouble. The landlord is a great guy with the patience of a Saint since I couldn’t handle the idiots twenty deep at the bar (a group) all paying separately for their own drinks and meals with a variety of cards, phones, watches and probably voodoo trances if they could! Get out there and have a great time and remember… it’s a country pub so have some respect.

Our first ever visit for sunday luch and definitely our last Overpriced food, small portions,the meat on the roast is processed packet meat, staff was rude and just threw our cutlery on the table without saying a word. The manager was the same rude and unwelcoming and was rushing everything. Such a shame as the place itself is lovely, sadly the food was a huge let down.Thats probably the reason it was quite empty. We paid £60 for 3 dinners and a starter for awful food We won't be vista again

Three couples we stayed for two nights in July and had dinner both nights . The whole experience was everything we could ask for. The food was outstanding, and the service was too. The staff could not do enough to make us welcome. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Parking is easy and there is a reserved parking area for residents. We all had a great time, so a big thank you to all the staff.

Being a regular walker in the Peak District I always call off for a quick drink before heading home. Yesterday I called in The Yorkshire Bridge and was very disappointed. Obviously, during the pandemic you need to make sure you are safe and Covid restrictions are in place. The beer garden to the rear of the building was empty, the patio at the front had one table occupied and the tables at the side of the car park had one table occupied.As per the instructions I went to the main entrance to check in using the NHS app, that was the easy part. A lady came to the door and I asked if I could have a drink and checked if they were still doing food. I could have a drink but no food. That wasn’t a problem, it was mid afternoon on a Monday and quiet, so understandable. She asked if I’d like to sit inside or outside and told me to scan in the VR code on the table to order a drink. I said I’d like to sit outside, double checked I didn’t need to download an app to order, and headed over to the patio where one couple occupied a table and the rest were free. Another staff member saw me and came over. I noticed there were cards or something similar on the tables and I asked if it would be okay for me to sit there or were they reserved. She said they were reserved. I headed over towards the tables at the side of the car park where a small family occupied a table and realised the table I’d gone to had a cross on it saying it couldn’t be used due to social distancing. I moved to the next one and the staff member said “You can’t sit there I’m cleaning it!” It was at this point I realised this was going to be hard work, I left and went to The Millstone.While I fully appreciate times are difficulty and rules are in place they were so unhelpful and the attitude of the staff needs attention.Normally it’s a happy place... just not yesterday.

Friendly staff quick service good beer and food - and covid safe. Great thanks! So happy to come across this place.

We were the only table in the pub when we arrived, it took fifteen minutes for half our drinks order to arrive, another 10 for the rest of our drinks and half an hour to receive our cakes, which were prepackaged muffins, tiffin (we had ordered millionaires shortbread) and a brownie with a fingerprint on the top. It was at this point we were told one of the cakes we had ordered wasn’t available. Wouldn’t visit again or recommend

Was enroute to Kinder Scout in the Peak and wanted a early lunch before the climb. It's easy to park the car and get ourselves a table (during Covid restrictions) outside. Staffs were very friendly and food (we had fish and chips, burger) was acceptable. Noticed a dam as we drove to it. This would definitely make a nice walk + pub day out if we are in the area again.

Fabulous food , gigantic portions. We have had the gammon steak and the burger both fabulous. Only negative was the Condiments namely Ketchup it was awful.

We'd had a walk around Ladybower and wmwr called in here for a drink and ended up getting desserts as we'd already ate at home.We bought some chocolate fudge cakes and they were lovely. The staff were friendly and social distancing observed. Venue had a really good warm atmosphere.

Visited for lunch. Felt very covid secure. Needed to wear face covering to be shown to a table. Sat in the conservatory. Tables well spaced with clear screens between them. QR code on table if you want to use it for ordering- ok unless you want a something slightly different. My preferred drink being OJ and lemonade but haven't found a menu yet where I can order this on my phone.Staff friendly and attentive although it did take a while to attract their attention for the bill.Portions were very generous and my husband's steak and kidney pie was stacked with meat and obviously home made. I had haddock which was fine but would have been improved by a small pot of homemade tartare sauce rather than just a sachet from a pot of condiments brought to the table.

Terrible service, the manager on the door very rude to people visiting would not visit again!! Communication skills leave a lot to be desired.

Excellent food and service! The staff are the real asset of this establishment. Even during this difficult situation they managed everything beautifully . The food was superb!

Booked with friends for a table in the conservatory, the Inn is a beautiful area with the reservoir nearby, car park full but we managed to find a space. Staff were pleasant & welcoming but service was slow, however this is understandable in today’s climate. As a vegetarian I chose the Sweet Potato & coconut curry in which I was very disappointed, huge mound of rice & hardly any curry, the sweet potatoes were totally uncooked & Rock hard & the lime pickle was put in the curry instead of as a side dish. Had the veggies been cooked & the rice / curry ratio been better it would have been quite tasty & my friends enjoyed their meat dishes. We had intended to order dessert but nobody came to ask & in the end we went to find someone to ask for the bill. Overall the place is nice but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

I visited the Yorkshire Bridge Inn for lunch and found the standard to be extremely high. The staff were very respectful and helpful with nothing being too much trouble to them. The food was really nice, it was speedily delivered after our order and was perfect really. I felt safe with the present Covid restrictions and felt the precautions were being adhered to by the pub

Today was our first outing for a family meal since the Covid restrictions were eased. I was quite nervous if enough safety measures would be put in place and if they would be implemented properly. However I need not have worried. The tables were spaced well apart with clear screens separating tables. You might think this may seem imposing but it didn't at all. You hardly noticed them there and they made you feel alot more protected. There was also plenty of room. The staff all wore facemasks which I think is much better than face visors. There was also plenty of hand sanitiser around. I felt the safety measures were really well thought out and were maintained by staff and other diners throughout our meal.The meals we had were fantastic. Very tasty and generous portions. We will definatly be returning!

Booked a table at the Yorkshire Bridge (which interestingly is in Derbyshire we were told) while staying with family in Sheffield. They told us it was their favourite place in the Peak District and we can certainly see why. Even in spite of the current COVID restrictions the food and service was exemplary. Special mentions to all the waiting on staff and in particular Chris behind the bar, who had us in stitches with laughter all afternoon. He should have his own TV show, but I think he would be missed too much by the YB. They also cook the best fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life. Heartily recommend.

Out with family for a hike around the Derwent valley came across this Pub and thought it would be ideal for a quick drink just to rehydrate.Plenty of empty tables outside so we waited to be seated there our enjoyment ended.I have never come across such a Rude Ignorant Dismissive Manager in my life No tables available not possible for us to have a drink and can you leave please!! Walked to The Anglers Rest and enjoyed a couple of drinks at a Beautiful Friendly Pub with a very warm Welcome 1-0 to The Anglers.

My fiance and I visited this pub twice during our trip to the Peak District in February.The staff were friendly, the food portions were GIGANTIC, and it was cheap. The food was cooked well and tasted good. Humble and easy pub good.Very happy with our visits and would return many times in the future.You won't leave hungry or broke.

Called in on a day out with my wife and first impressions were yes very nice indeed.Ordered our food and sat by the real fire with snow and cold outside so it was lovely and homely I ordered the haddock and it was beautiful and the chips were big but just as good, my wife had steak pie and also thought it was lovely tasty and generous portion. Thought it was a great place, very friendly and lovely location but for me the only negative is the price. £33 for pie and chips and fish and chips with one drink each, would have been a solid 5/5 for everything but the price

Great pub with friendly staff and good food! I went with my husband and 2 children after a walk over the Dam. I had the gammon and pineapple, very tasty and great that it had so many accompaniments. My husband had the steak which he enjoyed. The kids had the children’s meals - chicken goujons which were very generous portions for £6. All meals were good size, good quality and tasty. Really lovely feel to the pub too. Definitely worth a visit!

Must have stayed here a dozen or more times, and with our fail it is always brilliant. Lovely rooms, great breakfasts, and a bar and restaurant that is stunning. Great, friendly staff, and a location that is superb. Cannot be beate.

If you're in this area you cant help but be mesmerized by the views and scenery and this lovely little pub is just what you'll need after a day walking, good food, good ales, great staff and a very relaxing place to be.

Beautiful location ☀️ Friendly staff Delicious food Cosy environment We’d recommend making a reservation if you’re eating, we called 1 & half hours before and our table was ready for us when we arrived. We enjoyed a local bitter and glass of Merlot. A very festive cosy atmosphere. We ate the mulled wine venison casserole, it was amazing. Staff were lovely & friendly. We then took a quick stroll to see the overflowing Ladybower Reservoir plug hole.

Decent pint.. Told the food was fine.. Good staff.. Nice ambience..Good selection of drinks and food..

We called in for Lunch on our way Home for a Short Break and thoroughly enjoyed it.The Pub was very Warm/Cosy and Welcoming.We both had Starters and Main Meals which we enjoyed very much, I had Tomato Soup to Start and my Wife had Garlic Mushrooms. We both had Lasagne as our Mains and everything was cooked properly and very tasty.The Portions were very generous too, Great Value for Money.I would also like to say that as a Real Ale Snob the Pub catered for me very well, It had about 5 Cask Beers on offer and I had a Pint of Abbeydale Brewery - Moonshine which is a favourite of mine and Local to the Sheffield Area. The Beer was very well kept and I enjoyed it very much.We will look forward to Dining here again in the future.

We went to the Bridge again for lunch and really enjoyed the honest food available. The service is always good and the food is tasty.

Last Sunday the 10th of November 2019, was forecast for a really good day and though we didn’t quite get the wall to wall sunshine promised it wasn’t a bad day at all. My erstwhile rambling companions decided they wanted a trip out to Ladybower reservoir in Derbyshire; to see the giant plug holes, which didn’t disappoint as they were in full flood. The weather was really very good for the time of year and though it clouded over in the afternoon the sun came out again as we arrived back at the dam, after walking to the end of the west arm of Ladybower and then up through the enchanted forest and along the old Roman road to Win Hill Pike, then back to the Yorkshire Bridge Inn below Ladybower dam, in time for tea and medals. The pub was warm and welcoming as usual, with its excellent selection of fine ales and a small but excellent selection of single malt whiskies. As it was getting late in the day; this time we only stopped for drinks; however, we enjoyed our Christmas dinner so much last year that we went twice and are awaiting this years Christmas menu with eager anticipation. A further visit is definitely scheduled for next month.

Came up for a couple of days running around the area, decided to stay here, fantastic from start to finish! I’ll be back!

Great location to explore this beautiful part of the world. Perfect for walkers and plenty to explore in surrounding areas within short drive....Bamford station perfect to access Sheffield and Manchester. Accommodation is cosy..basic, but kept immaculately well...and wins for its fabulous breakfasts (as long as you sit at the right table!!!). Restaurant is basic but plenty of choice and very generous portions....always busy as obviously very popular. Steak pie was the star. The team here are all very welcoming and helpful but its definitely a pub first and foremost..with food.

Given some of the negative reviews I was nervous - but no need to be! Went here with friends and children. 11 in total. We booked the day before and were accommodated nicely on a large table in the barn at the back. Given the size of the table we were asked to pre order the day before which was absolutely fine, rather that than sit for an hour waiting for food. After a walk around part of the nearby Ladybower reservoir we headed back for food, which was perfect! The children’s chicken goujon were breast, the stake and kidney pie made with quality meat and the burgers got the thumbs up. No room for pudding as the meals were generously portioned. Served a good range of ales and the bar man very pleasant. Restaurant and bar were busy and the service was friendly and helpful. True, no one came and asked ‘mid mouthful’ if my food was ok, but then again I am in a pub and if it wasn’t ok I would have got up and told them....Couldn’t fault it.

Called in for a bite with the dogs after walking around a local reservoir. The beef bourguignon I had was exquisite as was my wife's 'ultimate fish butty'. From start to finish, I'd struggle to fault the place. Would go again if we were in the area.

Called in for Sunday lunch and we both chose homemade steak and kidney pie. It was excellent, veggies ok but pie stole the show. Others entered after us and struggled to get a seat.

been ther doing sightseeing, food was delicious, many craft beers, good service, great british pub, i would reccomend it to everyone for sure!

We came in purely for a quick break and a cordial. £4.20 for 2 cordial drinks. Now I know businesses have to make money, but in most places, I could have bought 4 cordials for that price. What a joke.

Stopped in at this lovely place. Lunch was really enjoyable. Food is lovely. Staff are lovely. But we couldn’t stay any longer thanks to dogs. Hubby is allergic to short haired dogs and people came and sat behind us with one. It wasn’t long before his eyes flared up and we had to leave.

Nice pub/restaurant. Good burgers, fair price. Have Farmers Blonde at the bar so i was very happy! Staff polite. Would return.

Had 4 beers while my friends had an amazing time climbing with Pure Outdoor. Pretty decent price for beers

We were very disappointed at our Sunday lunch on 18th August. The meat was very tough the carrots were Rock hard and potatoes were not fresh and hot like they had been kept warm.

Lovely cosy pub. Food is always delicious and plentiful. Never had a bad meal here and the landlord is very friendly. I had to wait at the bar for a while whilst the woman serving was messing around chatting with other staff.

called in Friday 5th July , meals where at 12-0 which we did nt mind so had a coffee , then put our order in and asked if it would be ok to have a walk up the road to the dam wall as we our 16 month old grandson with us , no problem just leave your stuff on the seat so the table is taken , great service and friendly barman in fact every one was great got back had our meal which was scampi it was delicious had to leave the chips there was just to much ,can honestly say i could recommend yorkshire bridge 100%, will deffernatly be back

Booked a table for 8 people and got a nice table reserved in the conservatory. Very decent pub meals at good prices so we all enjoyed our evening together. Staff were friendly and service was good. Thank you.

A family meal that was absolutely fantastic! The food is beautiful, well presented & tastes amazing.

We had Yorkshire pudding for starters, whilst it was nicely presented it lacked a little bit of flavour maybe a pinch of salt next time in the gravy. Mains arrived while we were still finishing our starters. Haddock and chips with mushy peas and a Dam burger both were tasty and nicely presented. Nice little selection of Gins, Dandelion and Burdock with lemonade was beautiful.

Have been there for lunch with daughter and granddaughter. The service was great, very friendly staff.The food, delicious. I had a vegan burger with gluten free bread, it was very tasty! Strongly recommend!

I visited the Inn with my wife last night. We have been regular visitors for years and generally enjoy the food , drink, and atmosphere etc. We arrived at the bar at 08.33pm and ordered a pint of beer and bottle of wine. I think the wine was a suitable clue that we intended to dine. The barman took the order prepared the drinks and then expressed surprise that we wanted to order food. By this time the chef had appeared by the bar, he had obviously been allowed to clear up early despite a customer wanting to order food ! There was absolutely no give or sympathy that we had driven 20 miles to eat at the Inn. This was made worse by the Barman being really pleased that restaurant orders

Fabulous lunch. Food very tasty Yorkshire pudding bit crispy for us prefer them more doughy.staff on the ball as always. Iove it here my husband's favourite place for Sunday lunch.

A lovely place to stop, eat and chill out. The food is excellent, the staff are lovely and the ambience is amazing. I heartily recommend this place.

Came here for tea once when passing and were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and got us seated in no time. The menu wasn't exactly endless but had some good choices and there was also a good selection of drinks available as well.

We travelled with friends to visit, thought we would give this place another try, it’s not really improved much, food still average but price has increased. Some staff very friendly but others can’t be bothered attitude

Very impressed with this place,called in one evening for a meal,and went back the night after. The staff were very friendly and the food was very good.The service was good,and the pub was very clean,even the toilets

We decided to have a drive out to the Yorkshire bridge inn from Sheffield on a very rare night alone.

We went to this place to have lunch during our visit to Peak district. The food was good, and the prices were ok.

Not very often that you visit a pub and can't find fault with anything, today was that day!

Called after a walk round Derwent ...again similar to a few pubs around here staff not to friendly or even a smile ..we called at another pub later lovely welcome and just a quick chat it goes a long way and you always want to go back ...ordered food I had a goats cheese tart which was nice everyone else had fish and chips and said it wasn’t to good ...had a couple of drinks then left .

Went in after a walk around Derwent and Ladybower, was starving, popped in for food and was abruptly informed that food stopped at 14.30. Checked my watch and it had literally just ticked to 14.31. Always wanted to stop by here, won’t be anymore.

Visited here for a quick lunch after a walk around Ladybower. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Ordered a light lunch of soup and sandwich. Absolutely gorgeous food. Welcomes dogs too

Typically busy on a Sunday when the suns shines but we’re lucky to get table in conservatory- you have to be prepared to wait! Great food, big portions well cooked, don’t rush you! Homemade soup was excellent whilst gammon and the steak pie were excellent! If you like cask there’s plenty of choice, recommend Barnsley Bitter, full of flavour for 3.8%. Dogs welcome, tight car park and roadside parking too but with all the walkers it can be tough. Great service too. Recommend it

Very interesting pub. A large selection of photos from days gone by in the RAF. We popped in for a light evening meal with a friend of old who knows these parts well. That’s a recommendation in itself, you’re spoilt for choice round here.

So cosy inside with a log burner and interesting decor.

Given the amazing weather and the line of cars parked along the main road it was a pleasant surprise to see several available spaces in the car park. We sat in the conservatory which despite the shutters and the solid roof was too warm.

Met a colleague for a business lunch, had soup and a sandwich, very tasty and filling. Price very reasonable. Staff helpful and friendly. Would visit again

Called in on way home from Sheffield on a Sunday afternoon, car park busy and pub was full of walkers as usual but found a place. Food was good, real ales good too. Comfortable place, although first place I’ve seen where salad comes with chips. Will go again!

Visited Ladybower Reservoir and spotted this place as we were leaving. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and the meal was superb. Would recommend it to anyone!

We have visited many times and have always felt the food was lacking flair, the menu hasn't changed much for 20 years, however today was an all time low and we have made a decision never to eat here again. If the chef can't manage to cook a fresh and reasonably hot jacket potato then it's time to look for another career.

After visiting previously for a drink we have wanted to go and sample the food. Booked a table for today. The lady who took the booking was both friendly and helpful. The pub is in beautiful surroundings and has a very cosy hospitable feeling. Dogs and muddy boots welcomed! We sat next to a lovely cosy fire perfect for warming up after a cold walk in the Peaks. Staff all very friendly. The food was amazing! Will definitely return to sample more of the menu. Both adult and Kids portions extremely well sized and good range of choice. A lovely meal to end our day!

We went for a lovely 6 mile walk in the area and ended up at this wonderful pub. Great pub food and really busy and cosy. Fantastic for walkers and families.

Whilst in the area for a weeks break with the dogs we came across the Ladybower reservoir enroute to a set walk & thought ‘what a great idea before lunch, let’s do a circuit of the reservoir instead then pop in to that pub on the map?’

As there had been mention of the drowned villages of Ashopton and Derwent at Ladybower reservoir both in the national and local news media, I went with friends to have a look on the second of December 2018. I should have known December is not the best month for sightseeing. We left from Heather Dene car park next to Ladybower dam on a trekk to the site of the drowned village of Derwent, just below the Derwent dam on the north arm of Ladybower reservoir. As we set off up Derwent lane, we were met with frequent showers of sleet and rain so nothing new there then. Despite Global warming UK winters are still miserable and unpleasant. We eventually reached the site of the village of Derwent which emerges from the depths of the reservoir every thirty years or so when there has been a long dry period such as the summer and autumn 2018 drought. There isn’t a lot of the church left to see as a very thorough demolition job was carried in 1945 though the tower of the church was left standing, but during a dry period in 1947 local children started to play in it so the authorities requested its removal and the army’s engineers demolished it. Despite looking like it dated from the medieval period the church was actually built in the Victorian era in the Victorian gothic style and it lasted around 60 years or so before its demolition. There is more of the English Civil War period manor house left; though a thorough demolition job was carried out, part of the ornate stone work remains. Its also possible to see the outline of the gardens which provided the manor house and the hamlet of Derwent with vegetables. There are also the remains of the water houses which were next to the gardens. There were other buildings such as a row of cottages and a school though unfortunately not much remains to be seen. As the weather had turned from poor to atrocious, we retreated back down the valley in the mist and driving rain to the warm embrace of the Yorkshire Bridge Inn. After a couple of warming drams to revive us from the edge of hypothermia, we had a delicious and excellent Christmas dinner with all the trimmings followed by Christmas pudding washed down with Farmers Ale from the local brewery at High Bradfield over in the next valley. Well done Yorkshire Bridge; your welcoming and friendly staff and excellent cuisine were the highlight of a cold miserable winter’s day. Pub grub at its best. The excellent Christmas menu is available on request to ramblers and visitors and doesn’t have to be pre-booked; unless you are bringing more than ten people, unlike certain other establishments in the area.

we called in for a bite to eat and a drink after our dog walk round the ladybower , Derwent and howden dams. We ordered the soup and a sandwich option on the lunch menu. The soup was homemade and delicious and the sandwiches were very nice and came with a bit of salad on the side. They also had several very nice real ales on tap that were all very nice. We will definitely be back and would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Called with friends for lunch, on arrival unsure whether they had booked & on asking the manager was very off off-hand even though they were very quiet & it was mid week

I ate Sunday lunch with friends here on the way home from a Peak District stay. The garlic mushroom starters were delicious and I had a roast beef dinner.
