Wheatsheaf Pub & Pantry in Derbyshire Dales

Nice large, comfortable dog friendly pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was good. Overall the place had a nice atmosphere.

Ordered beef ragoût when it came it was a very large portion. I was expecting chunky shredded pieces of tasty beef in a rich flavoursome sauce. With a nice tasty piece of garlic bread. Instead I was brought a great big plate of mince meet which was tough and tasteless I a sauce with loads of pasta. And a piece of garlic bread that did not taste garlicky at all but was full of oil greasy and tasteless. I would have been happier with a much smaller portion of tasty quality food . As I paid £18.00 for this which is not cheap. The place itself is really nice and comfortable to sit in and the staff and service was good . The food let it down very disappointing.

We had avacado on toast this morning. I don't think I've ever been more shocked at the quality and presentation. 2 slices of supermarket brown bread, cut into half triangles and a mashed avacado dumped on top. Maybe a touch of chilli. I would never serve this to my customers, I would be embarrassed. My comments may seem harsh but I paid £8 each for about £1 worth of food and zero effort. I'm angry with myself for not complaining. The chef completely took the xxxx Never again. Look on Tesco cafe website. Look up avacado on toast. For a supermarket cafe their attention to ingredients and presentation is 1000% better.

Thomas was friendly and helpful.

Had a family lunch here and food and service was great. Lee in particular was very helpful and knowledgeable with food and drink choices. Will be returning

Lovely lunchtime food, visited her on a day trip to Bakewell , nice clean place , food fresh and tasty, had a cheese and pickle sandwich each with chips to share

Delicious tasty food, good portions and excellent service. Clean and comfortable in centre of Bakewell.

Jacob / sean / Tom , Just beautiful folks - come on in . It’s the best atmosphere in bakewell . Just perfect

Giant Yorkshire pudding filled with beef and veg for lunch. Epic portion size with more than enough to share.

Jacob was very welcoming and made this experience more enjoyable. We were worried at first because the bar staff were particularly rude whilst ordering our food and buying drinks. The food was underwhelming and very greasy.

Experience was made better thanks to Jacob. He was very friendly and welcoming!

We were serve by Jacob. Had a wonderful meal, the gluten free option for the burger was really nice.

Jacob our server was so friendly and nice - food was amazing and the cosy atmosphere perfect for a cold Saturday lunchtime - thank you 😊

Was brilliant service. Jacob is always so lovely when we come in as are the rest of the staff

Cozy, Great food. Definitely recommend the Braised Beef Shoulder. Jacob was pleasent and attentive

Lovely food and great service from Jacob

Fantastic pub/restaurant within Bakewell, the food and service is always excellent when we come here and they have a good selection of drinks too. Jacob was very accommodating and found us a table despite it being really busy.

Great food and service by Jacob

Fantastic breakfast on cold January morning . You can’t ask for much more - delicious breakfast, lit up fire , gorgeous espresso and very friendly and welcoming staff . Thank you !

Really enjoyed our lunch here today,food was super tasty along with a decent selection of beers. Spotlessly clean and very attentive staff. Great work guys 👍

we arrived 12:40pm on friday, it was almost empty. we ordered fish and chips, beef ragu, tomahawk pork cutlet, chicken sandwich, all meals were tasty and in generous portion.

The food was amazing, definitely recommend the southern fried chicken burger. Service was great from Lucy, Tom and Sean. Will definitely return on my next visit to Bakewell. Well worth a stop when visiting the town.

I came into the pub on 13th January around lunchtime and the service was incredible. As a visitor to the area looking forward to having some food after a long hike this pub offered exactly what I needed. The staff were amazing, Lucy, Sean and Tom were so lovely and the food was fantastic!! I had the pesto and mozzarella sandwich as well as a crumble with cinnamon custard which was simply to die for!

It was an extremely busy Saturday lunchtime and terrible weather and we felt lucky to find the Wheatsheaf able to fit in six adults, a two year old and a baby in a pram. We all enjoyed our lunch and thought the staff were very welcoming. We would like to mention in particular Henry who was extremely courteous and kind to us.

Food was spot on and the waiter Charlotte was amazing

Food was excellent, Charlotte was super friendly, she was attentive without being pushy and she made our visit brilliant - Thanks Charlotte?

Beautiful meal and amazing service.

Food ok waited 45 mins between each course nice staff

Great food great service friendly staff with a nice cozy atmosphere

Food was lovely, Charlotte, our waitress, was wonderful! Definitely recommend!

Lovely food and service! Charlotte was brilliant and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying it all. Would recommend to anyone!

Great food and service with a smile from Charlotte

Booked a table as requested online. However, when we arrived, we were seated in the bar area apposed to the restaurant area round to the back. Despite this, the bar was relatively quiet. The food was cooked to order, can highly recommend the steak pie, which my wife thoroughly enjoyed. I had the fish and chips, the fish was larger than expected, and tasted great, the only let down was that the batter was a little greasy on the underside, overall though a decent meal.

Excellent service from Charlotte and Lucy, really good food and we definitely recommend the veggie roast! Will definitely be back next time we’re in Bakewell!

We have been here many times and love the pub for the food and the atmosphere. We were greeted and served by Charlotte and received excellent service. Would highly recommend this pub if you visit Bakewell.

An order of soup, sandwich and a side of chips took 45 minutes! Had to go and ask, and then they said it would be 5 minutes more. "We need to plate the food." After 10 more minutes they brought some of the order. Had to ask again for the soup. How hard is soup: just ladle it into a bowl! Have to say, the food was good, and the staff all apologised, but still. Just say up front if there is a long delay.

Good food, great service from Charlotte!

I had a fantastic experience at this establishment. The food choices were plentiful and the meal I had was delicious. A particular standout was a member of staff by the name of Charlotte. Charlotte exceeded all expectations by provided exceptional service. Nothing was too much to ask and she added to the experience. 5 stars to the pub and 5 stars to Charlotte!

We ordered 8 meals and to be honest it was terrible all food was cold no taste clearly cheap food at high prices KEEP AWAY PLENTY OF OTHER PLACES IN THIS AREA

amazing service, especially from Eliza!

Everything about our visit was fabulous. Everyone was warm and friendly - Eliza especially. Our meals were absolutely delicious - would definitely recommend a visit. Dogs are welcome.

Great food and friendly service in a lovely location and at a fair price. Breakfast and evening meals were excellent.

Had an awful experience at The Wheatsheaf Pub and Pantry in Bakewell today. I’ve visited a few times before because it’s easily accessible, but this visit was a complete nightmare. I only wanted a drink with my family, and yes, it was busy, but both members of the bar staff saw me waiting with my mum and still decided to serve people who arrived after me. The only conclusion I can draw is that it’s because I’m a wheelchair user. What made it worse was that they made eye contact with me and then carried on ignoring me. It was degrading and made me feel less than human. If you’re a wheelchair user, I’d strongly suggest avoiding this place. The staff were rude and ignorant, and they completely ruined our family day out. No one deserves to be treated like that. __________________________________ I'm adding a reply to Tom's comments here because Google doesn't give you that option: Hi Tom, Thanks for getting back to me. I just want to be clear about a few things. Since the initial email from management, I’ve tried to arrange a phone call, but I’ve been completely ignored. It honestly feels like that first emails I received back were just lip service, and I’m not convinced the training you mentioned will actually happen. What’s even more frustrating is that the same staff member who ignored me on Boxing Day had done the same earlier in the year when the pub was much quieter, but I didn't think much of it the first time. Busy or not, there’s absolutely no excuse for ignoring me simply because I’m a wheelchair user. If you look at the CCTV again, you will see that a group of 5 people walked in off the street and were served straight away, one in th group was a woman in a white/cream coloured coat, with blonde hair. To then have my follow-up email ignored just shows that accessibility really isn’t a priority for the pub, management, or certain staff members. If someone had replied to my last email, I wouldn’t feel this way now. I hope you’ll take this on board and make some genuine changes because it’s not just about me, it’s about ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued when they visit.

Food was absolutely exceptional and charlotte was a fantastic host! Very accommodating and friendly!

Charlotte (the waitress) was really accommodating and friendly, food was great too! Also props to her for wearing the headband and spreading the good cheer for New Year😂🍾

Food was very nice and arrived quickly, Charlotte was very helpful

Fantastic food, fabulous athmosphere and the service that Charlotte provided was second to none, we had not booked but,it was new years and she managed to accommodate our party of 8 humans and 6 dogs.

Super food and service on New Years Eve - and Charlotte is an absolute star!! Thank you so much for making our visit to Bakewell so special!

Landlady was very warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding in quality and portion size. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely Sunday dinner but slow service due to a very busy pub.

Love the Wheatsheaf at Bakewell, very tasty roast dinners and the gravy is the just delicious 👌🏼 friendly staff, and were amazing even though the place was packed! Our pooch was well looked after, love dog friendly places! Charlotte was the best and made firm friends with our dog 😊 we will be back!

Our waitress Charlotte was really friendly. Food was tasty & good portion size but not quite hot enough

Great spot for food, excellent service from Charlotte and a lovely atmosphere. Defiantly recommend this place!!

Food was great, Charlotte gave excellent service, she was very happy and friendly, she is excellent at her job

Our waitress, Charlotte, was very efficient at finding us a table for a bigger group during busy lunch hours.

Charlotte did an excellent job at getting us a walk in table for 8 people. She was helpful professional and calm under pressure on a busy Sunday.

Our amazing waitress Charlotte did a brilliant job of finding us a table for eight on a very busy festive Sunday lunchtime. Excellent food & atmosphere - highly recommend the fish & chips - delicious and massive portions.

Charlotte our server was very helpful and kind with her service. She was very responsive and kind.

Charley was lovely host and Isobel and Lee were fantastic 5 star service from them

Great service by Charlotte and great food, served in a cosy pub atmosphere

Great food and Charlotte gave us the best service!

Isobelle was really welcoming and made space for us even though we hadn't booked. The service was quick and the food was great. Brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you so much Charlotte and Isabelle, you accommodated us at a really busy time.

Came for breakfast, lots of gluten free options. Had a bacon sandwich with an egg on GF toast - delish! Charlotte served us, she was so lovely and amazing service!

Charlotte and Isabelle were great, made us feel very welcome. Brilliant hosts. Bar staff were friendly and fast and the food we ordered came quickly, was piping hot and really tasty. The pub has a great atmosphere with comfortable seats, an open fire and plenty of seating which wasn't cramped. Recommend this 100%

Isobel was friendly and helpful, managed to fit us in at very short notice, thank you so much

Food was amazing, great sized portions and a huge range of food options. Charlotte was lovely and informed us of the menu changes.

Stopped in for lunch and had the battered fish fillet sandwich. Quite busy but fast service and great food Isabelle and Charlotte were very friendly and helped us find our table.

The food was brilliant, especially the pie and chips. Great service from Charlotte who waited on us and was very welcoming and friendly. Would recommend!

Friendly staff and excellent service from Charlotte

Had a lovely experience having breakfast on Boxing Day, the staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Charlotte who went above and beyond to tend to our needs as we were a big group of 10. The food was really good, I had a sausage and egg sandwich with black pudding which was very nice. It was all round a very pleasant experience for all of us!

Lovely atmosphere, quick service and friendly staff. Would recommend! :)

Fantastic menu, the classic fish a chips is a more than generous portion! Excellent service from Charlotte, our new favourite in Bakewell.

We were served by Charlotte who was friendly and efficient. The food was really good. Just a little too hot for me.

Excellent breakfast at the Wheatsheaf, Bakewell. Well worth the money. The customer service is 2nd to none and Charlotte is just a delight, makes you feel welcome, always friendly. Thankyou

Headed here for a couple of drinks yesterday and had a great time. We all tried drinks we've not had before. Amazing selection. Really nice staff too. Lovely bar, great TV and sports selection. I wish we had something like this local. Just amazing, would definitely visit again.

Service from Charlotte was amazing.

We really enjoyed our meal, Charlotte and Andy was very polite and kind. The food was lovely, and lovely presented.

Fantastic service from Charlotte and Tom, very friendly and welcoming. The food was lovely, we always visit here every Christmas eve as we love the atmosphere

Last minute booking for family of 9- can't fault the place or the food. First visit, won't be the last 🙂

Great food, great service. Special thanks to Charlotte for being such a great help.

Warm welcome when we walked in and Charlotte quickly accommodated us + a high chair for the little one. Great service throughout and the food was great!

Great atmosphere. I wasn’t convinced on the cinnamon in the braised cabbage and felt that the Sunday dinner needed so something green on it. The free kids meal (fish and chips) made it all worth while. So we will be back. Great that dogs are allowed too

Sean was great. He looked after our table of ten really well and nothing was too much trouble. Really attentive and quick service and the food was great. Thank you!

This pub is an excellent choice when you visit Bakewell. The breakfast was excellent as were the chunky chips we had at quiz night on Friday. A special mention to the very friendly and professional staff who were so welcoming when we went in during our 2 nights there, especially Sean who made us laugh all night long and even popped in on his day off to say goodbye to Charlie Wolf(haha). All in all this pub and its staff are an asset to Bakewell

what a lovely pub. Best in Bakewell by far. I have to give a big shout out to the wonderful Sean who made our visit excellent. a definite asset to the pub without a doubt. we had a proper laugh with him. every member of staff I spoke to was welcoming and polite. Lee made me a very nice Irish Coffee too. the Christmas quiz on Friday night was good(apart from the music round..lol). Thanks for a wonderful couple of days and keep up the fantastic job you all do. also the manager who was a lovely lady needs a mention as she was exceptional. have a lovely Christmas and New Year. I will definitely be back to see you in the near future. Sean remember Charlie Wolf 🐺 xx

Dog friendly pub! Popped in for a bit of lunch, great food and portions. Service at the bar was a bit hit and miss, but overall nice warm, festive space and would reccomend. I think bit pricey but it’s Bakewell and in the centre so understand why.

Had a fantastic meal whilst out Christmas shopping. Jacob who served us our meal was fantastic and very helpful.

Food and restaurant services were excellent couldn't fault that, big shout out to Owen great service from him.. The bar service on the other hand was simply not good enough, not really the staff's fault tbh, just not enough staff on duty and food had to be ordered at the bar along with your drinks, considering the place was about 95% full, I reckon that was a real own goal. Annoying when you wait 10 mins in a queue to be told ohh we have sold out of a certain dessert. However again I will stress the food was really good and restaurant service was spot on.

Large but cosy pub, food and drink was decent, would recommend comming.

Owen was very welcoming. Great atmosphere and food was brilliant, we will be back.

Food was okay at Best, not particularly warm and the Roast beef was like shoe leather!...what let it down was service, woefully slow, got in early and booking was for Sunday dinner at 3....prebooked menu and nothing came out until gone 4, deserts took forever, left at 6! 3 hours to serve a 2 course meal.

Disappointing food. Fish and chips looked OK but the batter was undercooked and three of us ate the fish and left the batter. They offered a replacement which we refused and accepted a discount and free coffee. A nice place, not busy on Monday, market day. I am not surprised if this quality of food is regularly served.

Fantastic food. Massive fish in the fish and chips and gorgeous gravy on the steak pie. Would highly recommend. And lovely service from all foh. Thank you Jacob for the film recommendations and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely pub in great location in bakewell town centre. Easy parking close by. Great breakfast with good quality ingredients. Lovely friendly staff. Very cosy and christmassy.

We came to eat the famous pudding.Great pub outstanding staff

Excellent pub in all aspects. Love the coffee and cake at £5.95. Beautifully presented and delicious gateaux. Our go to when in Bakewell

Had a fantastic Sunday dinner. Staff were all really friendly & attentive, particularly Oscar. Family & dog friendly, lovely atmosphere& the food was really good.

Delicious food but it took a while considering how quiet it was. Upon arrival we were told bluntly that there was no table service or tabs. We felt that considering how expensive the menu was, we would expect table service and a warmer welcome.

Had a supper meal Very accommodating for 9 elite lady travellers Thanks to Sean, Owen, Lee, Tom Best wishes for the season and the forth coming year xx
