The best restaurants serving British food in Hope Valley High Peak East Midlands

Called in to this little tea room just off the Main Street in Castleton. Lovely place, greeted by a very friendly lady. After much deliberation we chose two cakes and a pot of tea. Cakes were delicious and the pot of tea came with a pot of hot water all served in white china...perfect. Would definitely recommend.

I had a full English there with my toddler, and the food is delicious. Coffee taste fresh and brewed to perfection. The staff are really friendly and attentive, made me feel really welcome. Toilets are nice and clean. This is probably one of the nicest cafe atmospheres in Castleton, definitely a must-visit when you come to the area.

Great First Experience! Ice cream was very nice and customer service even better! My ice cream fell on the ground just outside the shop! I was so disappointed but they gave me another on the house! Would definitely visit again :)

Welcome place to stop for a coffee and cake on a miserable day. Staff very friendly. Good to see some local crafts on sale too.

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.

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

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.

A lovely looking pub spoiled by poor service and poor food. I eventually got served to find everything on the menu I asked for unavailable, I ended up ordering something that I wish I hadn't bothered eating, I left half of it. Firstly I asked for fish & chips, none, then I asked for chili half rice & half chips, the manager said I can have half chips & half rice but not half rice & half chips, I said its the same thing...I ended up with scampi, chips & peas, the food, all straight from the freezer was thrown on the plate, crap tartre sauce, no wedge of lemon, cheap frozen chips, cheap scampi, it was about 3 quids worth of food for £17, it was very poorly presented, my partners food wasn't that much better, the manager was miserable & surley, we will not be returning, shame as its a nice pub, I'd give the food 2/10, horrible !

Arrived late. Warm welcome and james helped us with our bags to room 5 which was a large room with view of Winnats pass at the back of the pub. We stayed 3 nights and loved it. Rooms clean, staff friendly and food excellent. Liked the pub it was how a proper pub should be. Parking for residents at back of pub. We had dinner on our last night it was very good. Cooked breakfast was good too. Freshly cooked pizza out the back in a van. Busy pub all day from 11am to 11pm. We will definetly return and special thanks to james.

We were walking in the Peak District for a couple of days with an overnight stop at the Cheshire Cheese. It is the perfect place to stay, ideal for walks over Win Hill to Ladybower or over Lose Hill and on to Mam Tor. Check-in was friendly and welcoming. The rooms were quaint & spotlessly clean. Our 2nd port of call was the bar. A nice range of well kept ales were on the pumps. Food is typical pub food - good portions, well cooked. I can recommend the veggie breakfast which set us up for our walk over Mam Tor. All in all a very pleasant stay - a great pub in a great location.
