The best restaurants in Hope Valley High Peak East Midlands

Stopped here for one night before doing a 30 mile walk. Decided to head to Mam Tor for sunset... amazing fish and chips pre walk and made it back for the most amazing sticky toffee pudding to warm me up!

Really disappointed with the food here. One of us had a pie which was burnt and so dried up the filling was stuck to the dish! I had a burger which was quite dry also. My husband had the fish which was extremely small and left him hungry. To be fair to the staff (who were very pleasant they took the pie off the bill) If I had been the chef I would have been highly embarrassed to send the pie out to a customer. There are so many pubs in Castleton sadly this is one we won't be revisiting.

Visited here on 'Christmas lights switch on' afternoon/evening, and what a lovely cafe. We both had a panini and a milkshake. The staff were very friendly, the coleslaw was amazing and the milkshake were one of the best either of us have had for a very long time.

The first time we have eaten here, although they have been our go to take away for many years, food as usual was excellent but it was so much better with great service and not having to wash the pots!

Friendly staff (only positive) We arrived for Sunday lunch after a long walk. Only positive friendly staff. Presented with a dry bit of chicken. 2 small boils potato’s, Half a roast potato cut into three pieces. (Wasn’t roasted) 3 slices of carrot, cabbage and broccoli to feed gnat. No flavour, poor quality. I left starving. Avoid this place. Community run. Robbed!

set on a quiet and scenic road not far from the centre of hope,you'll be met by friendly staff and i have to admit my black pudding in chicken,new potatoes,cabbage and sauce melted,throw in a decent choice of starters and desserts not to mention a good choice of alcoholic beverages and your in for a nice dining experience.

Had a great lunch at The George with parents and children. Huge portion sizes and great food. Good range of bar pumps including Landlord and Blqck Sheep - just a shame I was the driver of the day… We had Fish & Chips, Burger with pulled pork and Shepherds Pie. All were lovely, arrived quickly and even filled up the teenagers!! Puddings for the youngers went down very well too. And reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Would have no reservations going back again; including with the in-laws😀

Lovely food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good beer. A little bit more expensive than other pubs in the area but that’s down to its location at the start of the Pennine way.

Have stayed at this pub before and it just gets better and better , the accommodation is spotless, the food Breakfast and evening meals were superb , the staff were friendly, happy and very helpful , nothing was too much trouble , i enjoyed my stay here so much i have booked up for next year already ! well done YBI

Called in for a drink on Saturday lunchtime. Really good atmosphere & very friendly bar staff. We asked how long it would take to walk to the station for our train back to Sheffield & Kath insisted on giving us a lift . We now have a new local in the Hope Valley. Will be returning soon.

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

Wish I’d read the reviews before we came! My original choice was sold out so chose scampi and chips with salad and my husband had hunters chicken. The wait time wasn’t so bad to say how busy it was but the meal was not worth the money. I was expecting home cooked chips and hot skinny French fries, the salad was a measly but if iceberg lettuce one slice of lettuce and one bit of cucumber! I could have had the same meal in Morrisons for half the price! Will not be returning as very disappointed
