The best restaurants serving British food in Buxton Central High Peak East Midlands

Lovely little place with inside and outside tables, next to shop in quiet old arcade opposite the Opera House. Superior food with a local flourish, and Buxton Pudding Emporium shop next door run by same people. Not fast food, quality comes with care and attention which takes time, so don't rush, enjoy the flavours and the quiet location.

Enjoyed dinner tonight. The beef cheek was excellent. The whole experience was wonderful .

Lovely pub especially after a long walk. The steak and ale pie was amazing with good beer on tap to accompany it.

I am a regular here and love the food, the ambience, the warm welcome. go for Breakfast or lunch, you won't be disappointed. also delicious cakes and excellent coffee.

We had room 7 for a night, it’s a little apartment, which is lovely and perfectly positioned. For those looking for en-suite facilities the loo is the other end of the apartment. More lighting is required at the back (before the gate) The bedroom is a lovely size and plenty blankets etc for extra warmth just felt a bigger bed would be nice as the room can take it. Guessing it’s small / standard double.

Food was lovely but despite booking five days previously we were put in an empty room at the back of the pub next to the kitchen and toilets. Constant stream of people going past our table to and from the bathrooms and staff going in and put of the kitchen I do not agree that my review was "mean spirited" I have eaten here several times and really enjoyed my visits and food. You have said the room we were sat in was full before and during our visit. Obviously I can't comment about before but when we arrived ours was the only table with a reserved sign on it and although the room did fill up it was people who were only drinking or presumably had not made a reservation. My impression was that this room was for late/non bookings and drinks which the reason I was disappointed. My complaint was not about your pub, which is lovely, but the room at the back of the pub which lacked atmosphere, and didn't even feel like we were in The Sun Inn.

Visited The Kings Head on Sunday when visiting family in town. Food was great and arrived quickly. Jodie made really pleasant conversation and was extremely helpful. Our new go to when we visit Buxton now!

Found this place by chance on a day out to Buxton. What a lovely little place. The service was great and the food was lovely. It’s a quirky little place with a shop at the front, and where you eat is tucked away to the side and you’re surrounded by antiques for sale. The menu is quite limited, but plenty for a lunch stop. We both had homemade soups, two different flavours and both were lovely. The coffee was seriously good, and I tried a Buxton Pudding with homemade custard - yummy!!! Lovely music playing and the ladies who served us were really friendly, feels like a special little place. Highly recommended.

Little gem of a pub. We were camping nearby and needed a distraction from the rain. Went over for lunch and was very impressed with the food served. Great portion sizes and I would say above average quality from what you would expect in a pub lunch. A fly on the wall would have laughed at us all oohing and ahhing at each plate coming to the table! Everything ordered was devoured with pleasure. The staff were very friendly and the wait for food was quick. Lovely day out.

Had a late lunch in this pub and have to say it was great. The staff were very friendly and the food tasty. We all enjoyed it. I had a small plate scampi and chips and it was delicious and was certainly NOT a small plate. Everyone enjoyed their food. Definitely will be back the next time we are in Buxton.

Best pub food I ever had. The Wexford chicken is absolutely fantastic. Great beers to match and good staff. We definitely come here again. Only in Buxton for two nights this time.

A hotel that rations tea bags. Two tea bags for two people on overnight stay. We shouldn't have to walk to reception to ask for more tea bags.

Went to Buxton for day trip fish and chips twice two cups of tea £24-00 chips were cold dripping in fat and scabby fish was also dripping in fat avoid this dirty place at all costs I used to work in a chip shop don't understand how they can serve this crap and get away with it

Visited today large portions, great price and really tasty.
