The best restaurants serving British food in Hartington and Taddington Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

From the minute we arrived we were made welcome by the manager and staff. The entrance is from the car park. The menu and the variety of wines & beers were excellent with the addition to the 3 special boards, Special Meals, Pie Meals and Burgers. Now I understand Gastropub, brilliant inventive food all 4 meals gorgeous in flavour, quality and presentation. If you are looking for a special place to eat in Buxton, we thought there could be nowhere better. For the meals that we received which included starers, mains and deserts we found it not expensive. If we are back in Buxton, we will be there. Even though the property is in a rural location you would be better to book as we did, the day before. The chefs, outstanding and staff friendly and informative, always with a smile. For a Gastropub to be so busy on a Tuesday the food must be outstanding. This is our opinion and must be judged by going to The Royal Oak Hurdlow.

Fabulous Tradition English Pub. Warm and Cosy, staff welcoming I had the Scampi and my husband had a Steak. Both meals were delicious and generous sized portions. Too full for a desert, but they did have a good selection. Will be back soon.

We had enjoyed meals here previously but the quality has plummeted. Two of us ordered the fishcakes which were deep fried with no evidence that they contained any fish at all. Cheap, overcooked fishcakes and undercooked, limp frozen skinny chips. One of the worst meals I have ever been served. We were also seated in the 'function room' which was cold & scruffy.
