The best restaurants in Hartington and Taddington Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Scrummy ice cream & the kids loved getting the fresh milk flavoured with different syrups! We camped here for two nights - the showers were always hot and clean & the campsite was a lovely size, great for smaller kids playing safely outside.

Good hearty food. Very crowded, and a bit too warm. Service was very good.

The food was average; my husband ordered medium rare steak- it was medium. The portion of green beans we received was meagre and the peppercorn sauce was so overwhelming with its pepper that it was inedible. The Mediterranean salad was £12 but was a mean portion. The service was ok- but my in laws had to wait for plates to be delivered, and the meals came out in dribs and drabs. Also very expensive for what it was. And to top it off one of the members of staff told a male customer it was ok to use the ladies. One may not see this as a problem, but ask yourself this- when is it ever acceptable for a fully grown man to be in a privately enclosed space with girls and women who have to partially undress to use the toilet? Less than impressed.

. . . What a super set-up; a warm, friendly welcome from Sue and Lottie when hot drinks and refreshments were needed after our walk. The menu was amazing with so much choice, and the size of the cakes and sausage rolls was real value for money and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised; enjoyed our purchases whilst looking at a wonderful view . . .

Very good i prebooked a guided tour was very informative and knowledgable guide really interesting good for dogs on short leads and children. Well worth a visit signs not clear nearly missed it but parking is paid in the visitors centre.

Yummy dinner for 7 in the Peak District I had the trio of lamb and it was quite lovely.Some of the others in our party had the Stilton steak pies and another lady had a sirloin steak, my husband had the lasagne Dessert was sticky toffee pudding but the highlight was Marshal the manager I’m assuming as he was a marvellous help with the menu and all things Royal Oak!! Two of the people in our party run large Farm Shop Attractions and both offered him a job on the spot so hang onto this guy he’s a gem Worth the visit for a comfy meal

Had a fantastic night at this pub the staff were fantastic and really went out of their way to help us , stayed overnight in camper van , the food was excellent but I was really sad to hear it’s closing 😳I hope the owner re thinks this and re opens again soon before he loses the excellent team he has running the place , staff like them are hard to come by.

Went here on Sunday morning as my husband & daughter went on the Saturday and told me they did a gluten free breakfast it was absolutely amazing it had a hash brown ,beans, mushrooms, two slices of bacon 2 slices of toast which was lovely normally gluten free toast/bread is disgusting ( which was warbatons gluten free soda bread ) I would highly recommend going here if you are a coeliac no pain or being poorly because of cross contamination and the place is spotlessly clean the only down side was they wouldn’t do me a pouched egg because they were to busy. Thank you the farm shop cafe

We called in here on our way back from thors cave, looking for a tasty treat because we were starving! We had a ham salad cob- very tasty. A steak and Stilton toastie again very tasty. We got one of the peak pasty’s to have for our tea later on. I can honestly say the nicest pasty we’ve ever tasted, we shared it because they are exceptionally large for one person. We also had a Mocha, a can of orange and 2 slices of cake. Oh and two star bars all for £23! Bargain and great value for money. And even more so because everything is as so tasty! Thank you lovely staff , we will be back.

What a great pun and service from the team! Gary was outstanding! Great service and amazing food - will definitely be break when we come back!

Staying in Buxton for a few days and wanted a nice restaurant to eat in. We hadn’t booked but this wasn’t an issue. Friendly, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere, good menu and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The meals were freshly cooked, lovely and hot and really tasty. Excellent value for money too, we would definitely recommend!

After reading the reviews I think we just went on the wrong day. We ordered 3 cooked breakfast with tea. Sorry the sausages were so over cooked they were black. I left one so you could see. I know I should have told you at the time but being with family we didn't want to make it an issue. May I please suggest you try grilling items. The bacon and eggs were covered in black burnt bits from the fat. It will not put me off coming again as I say I guess it's just a blip

Great place to stay, would come here again. After seeing quite a few negative reviews, we were nervous about staying here, but we only have positive comments to make - lovely cosy little room, great shower, nice view over the village. Downstairs in the bar area looks really nice. We stayed on a Friday and it was lovely and quiet, no bands. I had no problem booking through wowcher (although I had to phone to sort it after having no reply via email). All staff friendly and accommodating. Had a lovely breakfast before we left and the owner was happy to let us leave the car for a few hours so that we could do a walk to Milldale (also asked if we needed directions).
