Hathersage, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

2022 Review: “Seriously tasty, excellent-quality food” is on the menu at chef James Duckett’s inn, which has wonderful views over the Hope Valley in the Peak District National Park. His cooking is “very good”, and “the 7-course tasting menu is superb value for money”. “Friendly service and no over-long waits between courses”.

2022 Review: A collaboration between Sheffield cook Richard Smith, his restaurateur wife Victoria and the award-winning craft brewers Thornbridge; “creative fish dishes” feature alongside meats – all well-singed on the fancy Bertha indoor charcoal oven – and the “great location” (skirting the Peak District) makes it particularly “good for outdoor eating”.

Visit England’s pub of the year in 2023, this renovated, twelfth-century Peak District inn’s other claim to fame is being the fifth oldest pub in the country. Feedback on its conservatory dining room was more limited than we’d like this year, but acclaims its “excellent food, lovely view and proficient service”. There’s an eclectic selection of modern pub grub, or you can choose to dine from the focused (four choices for each course) dinner menu at £39.50 for two courses.
