Very small and cramped for space – if you’re going at a busy time, I’d advise booking to reserve a table.
Beer is always good, usually a choice of at least 3 real ales. It’s well kept and changes often, though you usually find one from Barnsley Brewery(?) and one from Abbeydale on. After walking there, there’s nothing to beat downing a pint of real ale that’s been well made and well kept.

Although the menu is not as extensive as some pubs the food was very good and fresh. The landlord and landlady are very welcoming and keen to develop the pub.
Very well worth a visit a well run pub in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.
A warm welcome and a good selection of beers preceded a great value "Steak Night Special" of 2 steaks with all the trimmings and a bottle of wine - all for just £22!
The home made Bread & Butter pudding was fantastic.
Well worth a visit for a great value meal cooked to a very high standard.

On the plus side,the pub and toilet facilities were very clean. There were three real ales on. The Celtic Blonde and Grays bitter were on good form. Didn't get round to sampling the beer brewed exclusively for the pub though. The pub itself is beautifully located.

We arrived at 2 minutes to seven to be told we couldn't order food as the kitchen closed at 7pm (there were 7 of us altogether and we were VERY hungry- they lost a lot of money!).
We decided to at least have a drink and began to order some alcoholic and soft drinks, and asked for a pint of tap water - they refused to serve the tap water, saying it was their policy.
I'm not convinced this is legal - I thought if you have a licence to serve alcohol, you had to provide tapwater on request.
This pub sucks and I would not recommend it, especially to thirsty walkers, who they claim to be so friendly towards.
If you are looking for a good pub for a nice meal do not go here.
I'd read the bad reviews but wanted to see for myself. The signs around the place said family- and walker-friendly. We were tired after a long day walking, but didn't experience any negativity about muddy boots or the fact that we had children with us. My family and I had drinks here (did not order food) and we found it to be a lovely place but a bit expensive (although no more so than, say, a Costa coffee bar). Hot and cold beverages were all very nice. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere seemed really nice.

I hear Jarvis Cocker gets in here.
I have to comment on the demise of the Bull`s Head at Little Hucklow. This used to be a great pub but the last licensee wrecked it with his careless attitude and foul food. Once I ordered two pints of Magnet and both were an inch below measure. I asked for a top-up which was given reluctantly but only one was topped-up! - he just glared and walked away out the back when I asked for the second to be filled up. It`s a shame it`s gone but frankly it was probably for the best with landlords like that.

Two issues:
(1) some of the charis are falling apart
(2) we went into the pub at 11am - and they started blaring out the most inane musak so it was difficult to have a quiet chat. Either turn it down or do without it entirely - who wants crap music at that time of day anyway?
We headed to the Derby Tup after it got too annoying...
