Dear me, this village is going downhill. This pub used to be thriving on previous visits, but we were pretty much the only customers at 8 o'clock on a Thursday. The village shop has also gone in recent years and the campsite seems underused.
I'm not a fan of the Sardinian food, as there is precious little for vegetarians that is of any interest. Quite expensive too.
The one saving grace is the beer. Very good selection of enjoyable ales in very good condition.

Visited last week with a group of 8 and the Tap Room was just perfect for our muddy boots and rucksacks. We were made to feel most welcome, although there is a posher end of the pub as well.
Unlike the last reviewer, I did enjoy the Nine Ladies Ale and was inspired to hike and see the actual circle afterwards with a couple of pints inside me. Food here is mainly around £6-8 from the bar menu, but huge and tasty portions.

This pub is nearer to the campsite than the Druids and had more people in it on Saturday late afternoon. Food is a £ or so cheaper per course than the other pub. I did not find the Peakstone's Nine Ladies Ale to be as good an offering as the pint I had in the Druids although it was cheaper at £2.90. Lincoln Green's Hood and Longbow were the other cask ales on offer as well as Weston's Old Rosie, a house Perry and a house strawberry cider.

This is definately more of a locals pub than the Druids, and I preferred it... I last visited in 2010, and both food and drink were great. The Belly pork was exceptional. Highly recommended

Very good range of beers and cider/perry in good nick. Food is very good quality and interesting as the landlord is Italian. Good pubs like this one will always survive - it offers something different and meets most needs (apart from Sky, cheap lager and smoking shelters - thank god).

A very good village pub offering good food a some great beers well worth a visit.

Called in saturday lunchtime during a days walk round Stanton Moor.
First impression was of a very traditional styled interior, not at all contrived, also very clean all round. (For those who like to comment on such matters th loos were pristine!)
Had four ales(local breweries) and two ciders(westons) on offer.I tried both the nine ladies and old intentional, both very good. Young lad behind the bar willing and able to offer advice on the beers available, as well as a friendly welcome.
On the food front the menu board looked very appetising, eventually I went for a lunchtime special of bacon, black pudding and egg ciabata with chips and salad. A real plate full for just �5! Both bacon and black pudding were home produced and the best I've tasted for a long, long time.
Overall very impressed and will definitely be making a return visit.

Just named the local CAMRA branch pub of the year - at least four very good real ales on from local breweries, one brewed for the pub by Peakstones Rock, 10% discount with a CAMRA card. Set in a beautiful village in stunning walking country. Very good staff, food looked decent, though the beer was all we were after this time.

Went here for a mid week evening meal with friends - excellent food - lots of it and good quality. Cost �90 for the 4 of us - drinks, coffee & 2 courses which was good value. Very attentive & friendly service. If you want a pub that does good food in this area, this is the place to go.

Fine pub, very accommadating to our party of six lads on the beer from the local camping site. Even though they were probally glad to see the back of us! Did food here which looked decent and had a dart board which was a bonus too.

After visiting the nearby Druids Inn gastropub it was a real delight to find a proper village pub in Birchover. Being mid-afternoon it was fairly quiet but the local ales from Peak and Peakstones were in excellent form. Barmaid friendly too.
