Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn in High Peak

Lovely friendly staff, and welcoming for dogs. Been to this pub a few times of the last 30yrs, also stayed here. Very welcoming. However, on this occassion, with constructed criticism here-The meals on this particular day, at the high cost charged, with poor portions delivered. I ordered fish, chips and peas, and I'm sorry to say this, where was the homemade chips? as I got frozen deep fried, and I left them. There was just a tablespoon of mushy peas on the plate , fish was beautiful. Hubby had the steak pie and he gives it 7/10, as the pastry was hard and minimal gravy and dried out peas. I was going to speak to your member of staff, but, she had several waiting, and some leaving, and she avoided me. Wed, 28th Oct, lunch time. Hope to come here again, and I hope the food will be better next time. Thank you

Great menu and food was fantastic, real home cooked feel and very tasty. I had the Innkeepers Pie and my wife had the roast pork sandwich, good portion sizes, really good quality. Massive menu to choose from and nice dining area / restaurant side away from the main bar. Service let this place down, all OK until after the meal!! No checking during the meal, if we wanted any more drinks etc eg chance to make some more money!? Waited long time after meal, no one cleared plates away or asked if we wanted more drinks or desserts or the bill. Staff walked past several times delivering meals and drinks to other tables, saw our empty / finished plates but never came near us. This was at least half an hour or more from the main courses being finished. Ended up putting our coats on and paying at the bar- no tip for the service unfortunately. Great pub and amazing food, must have been short staffed as the service was poor. Would still return for the food as it was superb and hope the staff are better on the next visit. Great food, poor service improvements to be made. Well done kitchen staff and please take note serving staff.

This pub is beautiful, quirky and lovely. However massively let down by the owner Amanda. She is rude, un helpful and moody. She cannot run a pub to save her life The staff she employs are brilliant and will make up for her falls backs and flaws. She’s lucky to have them.

Came here for some dinner, we could not have found a better place!! There was a small wait on food (I think due to an illness of staff) but wow the food definitely made up for it! It was absolutely gorgeous. A warm and inviting country pub with a homely atmosphere. Would recommend the sauvignon blanc! Will definitely be coming back and would recommend everyone to come here!

Came here for dinner, wasn’t overly busy. Drinks service was really good. Food service was very slow. Took over an hour for food to come and it felt some people were being served quicker than others. We asked to upgrade the chips on our meal, this came out wrong (it was resolved). We also ordered some sauce which never came! We weren't in a rush but ended up eating after 8pm which he didn’t expect! Won’t be returning.

Great food great service great beer, staff and other people in the pub very friendly , castelton has two of the best pubs in the Peak District.

We chose the Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn because it had the most gluten free options we could find. Our son has celiacs and never really gets a choice if we eat out. When we walked in we immediately found a table even though there were enough people already eating. Atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. We all ordered something different from the menu. Each plate looked and tasted amazing. Proper home cooked food at a reasonable price. Than hand pull beers were good and there was plenty of choice. What a find. Would highly recommend.

Very delicious, fresh food and cooked to order for an affordable price. Make sure to come hungry and get the chips! Thanks for the wonderful meal.

Just come back home from staying here for a few nights. Lovely hotel. Rooms were comfortable and spotless. Had dinner there and the food was very good. Staff were lovely and very friendly. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Just wanted old fashioned pub grub and wow did they deliver. Special Pie on the first night and fish n chips on the second. Great VFM, excellent beer and all delivered with a smile!

A group of us came for our evening meal and unanimously enjoyed our food which was great value for money. The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We came back later in the evening for drinks and the bar was really busy but the young man behind the bar remained calm and friendly and served everyone as quickly as he could. There was a group of musicians playing in one corner, which was a real bonus and gave the pub a great atmosphere. But the stand out was our waitress, Mandy, who served us again later on and really went above and beyond! I hope the management appreciate her because she really is worth her weight in gold!

Amanda and her team go above and beyond to ensure your made to feel welcome . Professional caring service, beautiful spotless rooms. Not sure where to start with the food it was so good. Exceptional value for money , quality ingredients used, piping hot, extensive choice more importantly it tasted fabulous. We will be back for a longer stay .

Great base to explore Castleton, friendly staff, great breakfast. The pub is central to the village and there are lots of beautiful walks. Sadly didn't get to explore more as I was only there for 1 day but this Pub with rooms is within easy walking distance of the main attractions. (Devils arse!)

We popped in for lunch after a long trek and were seated straight away. It was very busy almost full. We had a pint of lager very nice! We both ordered the steak and Stilton ciabatta with chips absolutely delicious followed by another pint!! The guy who served us was lovely and the man behind the bar very friendly. Can’t wait to visit again!

Four of us went for a late-ish lunch on a Sunday and had a good meal. Three of us including me had fish and chips and one had ham, egg and chips. The portions were large but I finished my fish as it was tasty. The service was good

We were recently on holiday in the Peak District and visited Castleton on Sunday. Most of the pubs and restaurants in and around the main square were busy so we decided to walk out of a town a little bit and are so glad we did.The Roast Beef was excellent.The staff were also very friendly and the pub was very well organised ensuring it is Covid secure.Highly recommended

Booked a table on a sunday and so glad I did, as on the day there were fully booked. Staff were nice and friendly and directed us to our table. Inside its a walkers pub so practical floors and seating due to potential of muddy boots etc but thats fine with me.I ordered the suet pudding and it was delicious.If I could offer one improvement it would be the lighting which was very bright and stark so prevented it from feeling more cosy. Overall though would definitely recommend this place.

Stayed overnight in room 8 before just before second lockdown. Room very clean and comfortable for one evening. Ate at the pub and the food was brilliant, particularly the home made pie and chips. Breakfast again was brilliant, large filling plate and a good sausage !

Called for a dog accompanied drink and was shown to a table. Felt very covid secure. Ipa was good, the decor vintage wacky. The dog got a treat and apparently a doggy sausage was on the menu for £2, so maybe food next time

Varied Menu, Nice Atomosphere, huge portions, very good Covid restrictions in place and prompt service

Attentive staff. Cleaned our table before we sat down and asked us to register the nhs track and trace QR code. One way system. All good signs they are taking everything seriously. All staff had masks. And yet .... it seemed a very pleasant homely pub, and the first I’ve drunk in since February. Free house with acceptable range of beers. I enjoyed it.

Fantastic place for food. The owner phoned me back to confirm booking so that was good.We were staying in the local YHA hostel so this was a perfect 10min stroll to the pub.Considering the covid restrictions the pub did a great menu and the steaks were amazing! The sauces a little bit pricey, but overall a great meal.Some varied ales and a nice atmosphere.Recommended!

Awful place obnoxious staff asked to place a drink order as soon as we walked in we sat down but on looking around we noticed there were no Covid-19 precautions in place we were not asked for our details for track and trace we felt very uncomfortable So we left our drinks and left straight away

Normally when I’m up in the Peaks I’d have at least one meal here, sometimes 3 or 4 and even the odd afternoon pint when passing. I walked up to the pub just for a couple of beers and to check it out for an evening meal and came across the sign board outside. I know pubs and restaurants have to do there thing but when there are other pubs in walking or a short drive distance away where you feel (normal) and relaxed I know where I’d take my money. Sorry but your sign totally put me off.

Very good location. Great breakfast. Room just acceptable but overlooking kitchen bins. Bathroom cold as no heating. Food decent and service very good.

My friend and I had a very pleasant meal at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Sunday evening. I had the Ribeye Steak (just needed a little more resting!) and my friend had the Pie. Both were very tasty and good value. Special mention to Meghan who served our food/drinks for the evening. She had to deal with a difficult customer near us and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay.

Nice and central, easy to find, parking and good value food. Room comfortable although the mattress was a bit soft for me (personal taste I guess). Good value food. Friendly and helpful staff.

Visited on a brief trip to Castleton and only because we couldn’t get in anywhere else at short notice! So it was a bonus that the food was so good. Delicious pie, mash & proper vegetables, followed by sticky toffee pudding and a very generous jug of custard. Staff were great and all COVID protocols in place. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub, a lot of tables and great social distancing measures. Staff very friendly and professional great welcome. Good selection of beers and food looks very popular, best to book a table in advance. Very clean and nice atmosphere. No beer garden but that’s not a major issue. Wonderful pub in Castleton for a good pint and some tasty food. Wonderful.

Our first visit to Ye old Cheshire cheese pub, called in for a snack and a pint.We ordered a ham salad sandwich and a roast beef sandwich, both came with chips and salad garnish and two pints most enjoyable. Next table had fish and chips that also looked really good. I'm sure we will be calling again when next in Castleton.

I booked a table for lunch here to coincide with a walk I was doing in the Peak District and I was not disappointed! The service upon walking in was fantastic and there were plenty of facilities for sanitising etc. in these covid times. We were placed on a small table in a corner which was very cosy and it appeared that the pub was following social distancing guidelines well as the tables next to us were a comfortable distance away. The food is classic British pub food that goes down a treat after a long slog in the Peaks, it's even better with a pint of ale from one of the local breweries! The all round experience was great and I will definitely visit again in the future!

Cosy pub with very friendly staff. The food on offer was for example, scampi and chips, fish and chips burger and chips, sausage and mash. Most items came with “chunky chips”.There was much not on offer, in the way of home-made food. It would have been nice to see a nice home-made pie, chilli etc on the menu, Given the name of the pub some food with Cheshire cheese?I got the feeling most of it was bought in from a catering supplier. We opted for tempura prawns as a starter but in truth they were no different to the ones you get in Tesco’s at Christmas and clearly bought in.Don’t get me wrong the food was “okay” but if you’re looking for something a bit more Gastro/homemade this isn’t the place.My rating of average is based on the quality of food that we had and watched being served to other people.

Visited twice for afternoon meals, very busy, friendly staff, good beer and lovely food , between us 4 meals in 2 days really nice

I've just returned from a one night stay at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn.The staff were all lovely and incredibly helpful.My room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Nice quality bedding and towels too.Current government Covid guidelines adhered to. Table service only, hand sanitiser available, one way system in place etc.I ate at the pub in the evening. They were rather busy, so there was a little bit of a wait, nothing major, but the staff were still very apologetic.Good choice at breakfast. I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast. (fruit, cereal etc was additionally available as was the usual cooked English and Eggs Benedict). No measly portions, so I was well set up for another day's walking.All in all, very happy.

We went for a long walk in the peaks and ended in Castleton, we had heard the name “Ye olde Cheshire cheese” on a walking website and it had been recommended. I would go to this pub for drinks only in the future, large selection of ales and I also had a fruit cider and they put fresh berries in the glass which was nice. I ordered a pizza and it was very average if not worse. Base was hard, sauce was tomato purée watered down and it was so thick with cheese, I only ate some of it because I was so hungry. My husband had a chicken and bacon sandwich, it was just that, no sauce, very dry. It had an ok salad on the side but overall very poor standard food. The pub is very old and I liked the history and the names of all the past inn keepers on the beams is a very nice touch, but I think popping in for a drink is all I would do and would definitely avoid the food. Also the bar man was very loud, sweared a lot e.g one man came in and asked to be served and he was told it’s table service, he said he was sat outside and the bar man said someone would be out soon, about 15 minutes later he went outside and the man had gone, the bar man came back in loudly swearing about the customer leaving so everyone in the bar knew. We were also sat near the kitchen and the waitress kept talking so loudly with the staff in the kitchen we could all hear every word. It wasn’t too bad for me but I wouldn’t take kids in or expect great customer service. I think this pub needs to keep its historic charm but update it’s food offerings and customer service. Also the toilets have carpet in and really need an overhaul. When we left we past a lot of pubs which looked better and had lovely beer gardens which would go to instead next time.

Nice local pub with good selection on the menu. Friendly staff and good service. They were adhering to the COVID19 rules and the food was cooked from fresh. The fish and chips we both had was piping hot, a good size portion and delicious. The desserts were also delicious. Would recommend a visit and go back ourselves.

Having pre-booked, we were directed to our table (it had our name on it). There was a blackboard behind our table, with a menu on it. The waiter arrived and said are you ready to order, we asked for a few more minutes. He came back, and we ordered. I asked him if the pies were puff pastry, when he said they were, I ordered Hunters Chicken.During our meal, we noticed another table had the pie (with short crust pastry), and a Chicken Burger that was not on the blackboard that we ordered from. Upon paying, I went to the bar and saw another menu obscured from our view by an open door. It stated 'take a photo of the menu, table service is in operation, the waiter will take your order'. But until we paid, this menu was not visible to us. On the way out, we noticed this same notice on the outside of the pub, but as we had a table booked we went straight to our table (as directed). The waiter didn't ask if we'd seen the menu, and he stated that the pies were puff pastry when they were in fact short crust.My wife and daughter had scampi, I ordered the hunters chicken. The food arrived in an average time, and was hot, staff were courteous. But, it was all quite average. Nothing wrong with our food, but it was just very average. It was a very hot day, and the pub was very stuffy.

My partner and I ate here during a 3 day visit to Castleton. We pre booked, very warm welcome and excellent service. My partner had the Hunter's chicken and I had the steak and ale pie, absolutely delicious. The staff were very busy and working hard to ensure excellent table service. Would definitely recommend and we will return.

We've been here several times in the past and are looking forwards to visiting again. They serve food all day which is fab when you're out with hungry children. The menu is extensive, well priced and the portion sizes good. It's a very clean place and the staff always seem friendly. We haven't stayed there as it usually sold out when we plan a visit. There is parking over the road too which makes it very easy to visit. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Stopped here at the end of a very long hike. Lovely pub, staff were excellent and the drinks hit the mark. We didn't eat, but the food we saw looked great. Would happily recommend it to anyone.

Came here a couple of time for food and drinks, reasonably priced, a good menu, and lovely helpful staff

What I liked most about this Inn was how immaculately clean it was, from the staff, to the tables, to the loos!We had drinks in the bar ,before going through to the restaurant where we enjoyed a lovely light lunch.I had two starters, the chicken goujons and the smoked salmon. My wife had the warm BLT. All were very nice, however it would have been nice to have got sauces in small dishes rather than tiny sachets, I do feel this does lower the tone of an establishment having to drop down to McDonalds level.

This is a cosy pub serving traditional pub food. Friendly service and good sized portions from a wide menu.

Served like kingThe dinner and breakfast were the best goumet-like. Clean room with nice space and the bus stop opposite the inn makes it convenient. Can also walk to castle and bike rental place but I didnt though. The staff and probably the owners were running the place with all their hearts, everyone surely can feel that

Recommended pub restaurant with free parking opposite. Rump steak served with a lovely Silton sauce, chunky chips, large mushroom, peas and steak and ale pie with chips and mixed veg.

Lovely meal sunday afternoon thanks to barman for doing kids blacuurant squash in gin glass with all the trimmings kids loved it kept them occupied thanks to all staff

Visited on a Saturday evening. Friendly and efficient staff and lovely food. Would recommend and will definitely visit again.

olde world pub steeped in history. Friday evening had a lovely atmosphere, with the locals mixing with tourists like us. Friendly bar and serving staff, and food was enjoyable too. a few dogs in the bar which was good to see, looking forwards to our next visit.

Just popped in for a drink. One side is dog friendly which is fantastic. Nice old worldly pub, good prices!

Stayed here for one night after walking up Mam Tor and along the ridge to Hope.Warm welcome from the landlord on arrival and after completing a few brief details were shown our room. Free parking available opposite the pub (we missed this originally). In the same way others have noted in their reviews, the room was very cold on entering but was soon remedied by turning up the radiator. Comfortable bed with nice bed linen. A stained towel was replaced without any fuss. Tray for muddy boots was a good idea! Our room (10) was situated at the back of the pub on the ground floor - very quiet. Had dinner in the pub that night - can recommend the Innkeepers plate pie - large portions, very tasty food. Good range of beers on tap. Breakfast the following day was very enjoyable - fruit/cereal/juice then a range of cooked options from the menu with toast and tea/coffee - set us up nicely for another day’s walking. Would definitely return if back in the area.

Excellent ribeye steak lunch. Steak cooked to perfection and an excellent pint. Lovely fire on a cold snowy day.

Lovely venue, friendly efficient staff, well cooked tasty food. Restored our faith in Castleton 'night life' after an unsuccessful visit elsewhere. Highly recommend whether for food or just a drink.

We came here for lunch and I had the spicy bean burger which wasn’t great, overcooked and no real flavour and the chips were greasy. I didn’t rate my Christmas pudding, too bland. Coffee weak but drinkable. Ok service.

Out for lunch with elderly father. Sandwiches were nice, place seemed quite dark but a nice warm fire.

Visited here 3 times during our weekend stay in the village.

Called in for a drink on Sunday afternoon. The bar and dog friendly eating area was busy. A good choice of well kept real ales and draught beers. The barman kept us entertained and the food being delivered to nearby tables looked excellent. We decided to eat there the following evening and whilst not as busy there was still a good cosy atmosphere. Starters of stuffed Portobello mushrooms and pate were excellent followed by mains of gammon steak and a salmon dish again of excellent quality.

Called in for a hot mulled wine and mince pie. Wine not as hot as could have been but nice mince pie. Friendly barman and a good selection of ales on tap. Cozy atmosphere too.

warm welcoming pub . Beautifully decorated for The Christmas Festivities. Ordered food from the lovely varied menu.The staff were kind and very friendly the drinks were amazing. The food arrived after 15-20 mins and wow amazing ..very hot, tasty and presented well. Daughter also devoured a chocolate fudge xake dessert ..which was yummy. The toilets were spotless and rustic . The whole place had a lovely feel to it . We look forward to returning . Thank you

Thanks for your hospitality and service during our stay, such a lovely pub in a great area with a great atmosphere. Thank you

We were staying at Losehill Hall and found this an easy evening walk for a drink or evening meal. The one meal we had here was excellent. Recommend the quiz night.

Eat here in September, had come recommended, but as always one persons idea of high quality and another’s can be very different. It was okay food, but seemed to be missing something for me. Service was okay, but nothing to write home about. If drinking is what you are after, then the Real ale was good quality and well kept.

My wife and I dropped in for a drink on a cold rainy day - perfect sitting near to the fire watching the rain fall!

Following good reviews by fellow caravanners from the Castleton Caravan and Motorhome Club site we were very disappointed by our lunch taken there recently. The meals were a typical pub meal which seemed to be sourced from the freezer.

Ate here last night. The service was excellent, with friendly smiley faced staff. We both had the Innkeepers Plate Pie. Delicious. Would highly recommend eating here. Dogs are allowed in the bar area.

Called into the Cheshire cheese for lunch, very oldie worldly pub. I selected the 10 oz gammon I have to say this was the best gammon I have ever had. Also a brilliant choice of real ales will use this place again, staff also very friendly.

I was on a short day trip to Castleton. Despite visiting occasionally for many years, I had never got around to trying Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn.

Stopped in for lunch, staff very friendly, service swift and food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

We only stopped here for lunchtime drinks. From the outside it is an attractive old style pub. Inside it is also traditionally furnished. Service was friendly and good. There was the usual range of drinks.

Great pub, with great food. Lovely Pub grub which is just what you want after a good hike. If you’re around on Quiz night it is a must. The host is brilliant, lots of laughs.

First visit to Castleton has been fantastic and to finish off the weekend we had a meal at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, the staff were great and the food was fabulous. Would definitely come again

Execellanet ales with knowledgeable friendly service. Food, basic honest reasonable pub grub. Reasonable value, would have been exceptional value had we not pointed out that we had been undercharged to a very lovely & grateful yound lady at the till. Bizarely, only two of us, but were asked to move to a smaller table, despite there being only one other couple in the dining room, & shortly after, the only ones.

We were starving after walking up to Mam Tor and the sandwiches here didn't disappoint. I had the tuna melt (delicious) and my partner had the beef (2 huge slices, very tender) and horseradish. They were served with lots of fries and a decent salad. Very friendly staff too.

Nice pub and a warm welcome for us and our dogs. We were staying on the Caravan Club site nearby and its just a twelve minute walk to the pub.

Last night of our week long walking holiday with friends. Having stayed here before, had another comfortable stay. Friendly staff & cosy pub atmosphere. Had lovely evening meal and good breakfast. Good to see some fresh fruit which we didnt get at other places.

A cosy pub with friendly staff. Only visited once but they had decent real ales on the bar. Would had happily gone in again had tome permitted. Food menu looked nice but didn’t eat there.

Took a friend to Castleton and parked in the Cheshire Cheese car park. Went in and ordered coffee each. Whilst having the coffee we decided to look at the menu. This is comprehensive and something available for all tastes. We had our orders taken at the table and advised to move to a larger table to ensure sufficient space for the plates. We waited and saw other meals being taken out. All looked extremely nice and when our meals arrived they were well worth the wait. A check for satisfaction was made towards the middle of the meal. My friend was full having eaten sone of his rib eye steak. He put his plate to one side and was asked if he would like a doggy bag for the rest of his meal. This offer was declined but highly appreciated. The steak was cooked fully as requested well done and the scampi dinner was excellent. More peas and chips than I could manage. The side salad was beautifully fresh,tasty and crisp. We were asked if we required any desserts but had to decline as we were so full.

Popped in here after a long walk for a quick lunch and pint. Great atmosphere, 'proper' pub. Enjoyed our food, reasonably priced.

Lovely pub - we had a meal at this pub over the weekend and it was great, traditional British fare. We had the steak and ale pie and it was scrumptious, in particular the mashed potato. The choice and quality of beer was excellent. However, the most important factor about the pub was the staff, in particular the man behind the bar. He was fun, efficient and competent. Great staff!

Drinks were very nice, but food very average for the price, could get better burgers at McDonald’s for a lot less.

We stopped over at Castleton for the night and decided to have a meal at The Cheshire cheese Inn

I had the red pepper soup which was very good and spicy, followed by the hunters chicken. The chicken breast looked a bit pathetic and had only a small amount of sauce. It was ok but I wouldn’t come back for the food.

The Cheshire Cheese is a favourite haunt of mine in Castleton, although I usually just have a pint or two or their excellent, locally-brewed, real ale before getting the bus back to Sheffield. However. I had the opportunity to sample the food on this occasion and am happy to say that it was excellent. Plus the staff were warm and friendly as well. Have visited the Cheshire Cheese times in the past, and will undoubtedly do so many times in the future.

Lovely pub and very welcoming to our small family. Food was excellent, beer was great and service was top class. Thanks!

There are no table reservations in the bar, but we had booked in the restaurant side. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menu has plenty of standards, including burgers, veggie chilli, fish and chips, pizzas along with poached salmon or Hunters' Chicken. The food was enjoyable, with the simplest being the most successful. The prices are very reasonable, with most bunched around £10/£11. The Barnsley bitter was well kept and very enjoyable.

Just popped in for a drink but decided to have lunch and more than happy we did.there was a small hiccup which was possibly my fault but was sorted out in jig time.i ordered garden peas instead of mushy and got garden as a side dish as well as the mushy.the pie was served with gravy which I never knew was the norm and didn’t want,so my fault there,but the waitress sorted it all out immediately and without fuss,so full brownie points for her.all in all,a really friendly place to eat and drink.would well recommend it.

Stayed in Castleton for four days and used thus pub twice. Great beer, food and service. In addition, the place looks great from the outside with hanging baskets etc. Everything good here and would highly recommend.

My husband, daughter, dog and I have just visited the pub for a meal after completing one of the many walks around Castleton. The food was of a very high standard & plenty. They even catered for the dog, 2 sausages to keep him quiet. I would definitely recommend this pub if you visit Castleton.

Came here about 10 months ago on recommendation from a mate thats been coming here for years I'm going back tomorrow and cant wait. If you're going to try something i recommend the innkeepers pie. full of everything!!! a proper home cooked pie.

Lovely dog friendly pub. wasn't too busy around tea time. There seemed a good food selection to choose from and we had a Ploughmans and a Cheese and Bacon Salad. We also had a side order of chips. The food was really nice and plentiful.We both had upset stomachs that night and as put it down to either the salad leaves that both meals came with or the chips which were slightly on the "fatty" side. I thought hard about writing this review but thought I'd share it if anyone else has the same issue after eating there

Lovely sharing starter. Good portions. Friendly waitress. Asked for rare steak. Would say came out medium.

Our group of 6 hikers were made to feel very welcome during our 3 nights stay. The staff are friendly and were always helpful such as early access to some rooms, early departure for one of us and running bar tabs etc.

Back again 9 months later and still as good as the last time. We enjoyed a couple hours just relaxing whilst enjoying a superb Sunday lunch. Great service lovely staff and friendly atmosphere

Stayed here for 2 nights in June 2019. Absolutely fantastic village pub / hotel with loads of history. Free parking across the road. Staff were really friendly and welcoming, especially Amanda the manager and Jane who looked after us so well at breakfast time. (The breakfasts are fantastic). The room was comfortable and adequate for our stay. The bed was very good.

Not a good experience. Went in to the Pub for a drink and some food with two friends. Found a table, ordered drinks, got menus. Had a chat, decided on food, friend went to bar to get more drinks and order food. Friend came back pretty annoyed, by all accounts the bar lady advised in a terse and unwelcoming manner that they were not taking food orders for 20 minutes as a large order had just gone out. What does that mean what effect does that have on our food order.

We popped in to Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for dinner after a long drive to the Peak District, but it was quite late and they'd stopped serving food. Nonetheless, we chose to stay for the quiz and joined teams with some friendly locals, which was really good fun! The landlady even made us some food as we were staying for the quiz, which was so nice. Their kindness and hospitality really made our night, and it was such a lovely atmospheric place to spend an evening ❤️

We were drenched after getting caught in the showers. We were greeted warmly and served quickly. We both ordered pie and chips and were served a hearty portion, on very hot plates. The pie was delicious with lots of meat in the filling. The staff are warm and we felt genuinely welcomed. We were given a free crunchie bar each after I mistakenly tried to purchase the bar mans lunch! These items were not for sale but the bar staff took pity on me. Made my day. We will defintiely be back very soon

After a walk in the pelting rain this place was the best antidote - a friendly welcome, wonderfully tasty food (the Innkeeper's Pie was just the best home-cooked food I've had in ages), and a fabulous beer in Bradfield Brewery's Brown Cow (other beers were available!) Will definitely want to come here again!

A reasonable pub with accommodation. Dinner menu standard pub grub, but well done. Good selection of real ales. Very good breakfast with a friendly cheerful server. Stayed three nights, and can only talk about room 7. A lovely room, but the location was poor. Right on the street, with only one window it was a dark room, and the traffic noise was intrusive. There was also noise from bins going out and beer coming in. It was a bit on the expensive side for what it was. Best avoided if you want a peaceful stay.

Lovely old pub. excellent friendly staff. Food was hearty traditional pub fare great after a days walking. Dog friendly Beers selection is by far the best in Castleton. Some really great brewerys. Intrepid from down the road near Bradwell. Abbeydale, Bradfield etc. All excellently kept.

Lovely pub in Castleton, great food value for money and beer well worth a try. Staff very welcoming it’s worth booking a table as does get busy at weekends
