| Still a proper pub despite pricey food if you define a pub as being a place you can go in just for a drink without subtle (and sometimes not so subtle pressure) to order a meal. Just called in during a hike on a sunny Thursday afternoon and I was gratified to find it mainly full of elderly retiree hikers like me, - all knobbly knees and baggy shorts. Oh How we feel sorry for you work slaves! And what took me back 30 years - a friendly old black pub labrador lazing in the sun with legs in the air having its belly scratched. My huge bowl of soup was still delicious. Landlady friendly and obliging and beer reasonably priced compared to its neighbours. GeofB - 16 May 2014 21:52 |
| Have been here twice recently, once with a group, and although it was busy both times the service was very efficient, quick, and friendly. I was very impressed on both occasions. The small range of about three cask beers were all well kept and tasty so no complaints there either. makes a change to come across a place where the staff are well trained and know how to do a good job, even under pressure.

| Years ago,this used to be a good hiker's pub, old fashioned and a bit rough round the edges with a smelly old labrador dog and a grumpy landlord. It's still in the middle of nowhere and they still cater for walkers with a big rear tiled conservatory for muddy-booted people but as with so many of the Peak pubs they had to change to survive. There's the addition of a big car park to cater for the car-borne masses who are oblivious to the nearby superb edge walking . No longer crisps and simple basic sandwiches for sale but meals at �9 and upwards. That said, it hasn't entirely devoted itself to tourist fleecing like some I have reviewed and still retains a real pub atmosphere. We were glad of its cosy log fire after descending down from White Edge in an icy blizzard and I did not resent paying �4 for a huge bowl of thick piping hot delicious home made soup with bread and butter. Beer choice was limited at Pedigree and Bank's but the latter went down well. Staff were pleasant and efficient but I'm not sure if I preferred the surly landlord who ran the place thirty years ago. A place with too much "niceness" invariably loses some character. GeofB - 15 Dec 2011 19:34 |
