The best restaurants in Hope Valley High Peak East Midlands

Wow! What a great little place to go. Firstly - we love going out to Italian restaurants to eat so we will leave our dog at home. However as we are on holiday, we couldn’t do that this time. Luckily enough, 1530 is dog friendly outside so you aren’t forced to eat in a general pub spending the same amount of money on mediocre food - so we sat outside in the sun and ate here. The service was quick, friendly and attentive with checks throughout but no disruption. Reasonably priced - £60 for a starter, main and alcoholic drink each (including an aperol!) The lasagna was full of big chunks of pulled meat and the seafood risotto was a very reasonable portion (something you don’t normally see) and had plenty of seafood in. Both were full of flavour. A nice touch to have a chocolate with the bill - no “auto” service charge so you can actually choose to tip if you want! (This place definitely deserves a tip). Will definitely be going back and you must go here if you want great quality food and actual value for money, in 2025!!

We had a lovely Mother's Day lunch here yesterday - the pub is beautiful, as is the surrounding area. There was a set menu for Mother's Day with plenty to choose from and 3 courses for £33.00 which we thought was good value for money. The pub was extremely busy and we were waiting a while between our starters and our main, but we didn't mind that. All in all we had a lovely afternoon out but there are a couple of niggles ... 4 of us opted for the prawn cocktail starter - the avocado was missing from all 4 of the prawn cocktails and when we told our waitress, she just said sorry. I am unsure whether they had run out or simply forgotten to put it in there but it would have been nice if she could have looked into it for us. For the main, 3 of us went for the Derbyshire beef and 2 had the chicken. Unfortunately, even though it was cooked perfectly, the beef was a little on the tough side, as was the chicken. The rest of the meal was lovely and we were going to complain but just put it down to the fact it was extremely busy and sometimes, you do get that tough joint of beef. We would definitely return. Our main waitress was lovely and very helpful. Thank you for a great afternoon out.

We called in for a quick drink and small bites whilst visiting Castleton to do a treasure hunt. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food and drinks were amazing. We had vegan rolls, loaded fries, a salmon and feta salad and desserts of gluten free brownies and jam scone. Would recommend and visit again. Delicious.

Absolutely wonderful hotel with incredibly friendly staff and superb food. The hotel was quiet and spotless with large airy rooms - the outlook was stunning across the fields. The food was divine, a lovely menu, superbly cooked and served by friendly, happy staff who were incredibly attentive, The small spa was clean, hot tub and a small pool were lovely. I had a massage treatment by a wonderful, very experienced therapist who really knew her craft A truly wonderful hotel

I went to this shop with my partner as he wanted a breakfast roll. I had no idea what to have but with the help of the fantastic lady serving I had the bestciabatta sandwich I've ever had. The bread was perfect, packed with filling. Wr also bought a slice of ginger & toffee cake. The flavours were amazing. If you have the opportunity to use this deli on your travels, you won't be disappointed. Its a small deli filled with everything from chai seeds to sausage rolls.

Fabulous beautifully prepared lunch. Homemade mushroom soup, toasted sandwich with imaginative side salad and coleslaw! Wonderful coffee. Highly recommend

Stunning location complimented by amenities for all, a beautiful food selection and helpful and accommodating staff.

After raving about this chip shop in the past and having lovely food What a disappointment. The fish was actually wet and soggy, dripping in fat. We actually felt sick eating it. At almost £10 for fish and chips each we didn't want to waste it. Even my children wasted the fish. Never again. I THINK THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR OIL . We were worried it was harmful. Sorry to write this. We won't be coming again.

Have past it many times but decided to call in, a great move. The shop has lots of really nice products. Had lunch in the restaurant, excellent coffee and a nice choice of meals, the breakfasts are a bargain but so then are all the meals. Had a bacon and egg butty, really tasty, loverly staff. Will be back.

The pie is amazing. I would recommend it was gorgeous. Lovely pub, nice and friendly. OP was a favourite of ours. Well priced

Great place to stay and have drinks but the the food and drinks in the restaurant took ages and also breakfast which let it down.

This pub is basically an upmarket Wetherspoons. The pie was not homemade, frozen chips, slightly soggy, instant gravy and broccoli boiled within an inch of its life, all for £18. Hmmmmm 🤔 if this were my business I would not be allowing food like that out of my kitchen.

Lovely selection of food and drink, friendly and helpful service. Would definitely recommend - great breakfast sandwich !

I contacted The Peak Hotel to make a booking for a group of 14, having had no luck when contacting other venues in Castleton. The very efficient young person who took my call was extremely helpful and was able to accommodate my request, following this up with a confirmatory email. When we arrived for our meal, on a Saturday in school holidays, the pub was extremely busy but we were made to feel very welcome by the friendly, efficient staff-mainly young people. This level of service continued throughout the meal and although the pub continued to be very busy, nothing was too much for them. Despite the fact that our preorders were a significant number of different dishes, all the meals arrived together so that no one was waiting. Everybody very much enjoyed their food and every member of the group commented on the delightful attitude of the staff. All of us would be very happy to return to The Peak Hotel. I thoroughly recommend following the request for a large group to send in preorders as this made every thing much easier for everybody.

Amazing cafe, went in this afternoon for a panini and omg was it the best thing I’d eaten in ages? Yes it was. Lovely staff and very efficient. Will be back 100%
