| Having heard of the reputation of this pub I devised a hike around it and we called here for lunch. All the previous reviews are accurate, It is an unspoilt delight run by an adorable genteel old lady. Open between 12 and 2pm on weekdays selling four excellent local cask ales drawn by a jug from the barrels behind the bar with simple cheese or salami cobs for sale. All prices are fair and reasonable. If pubs were like women it would be an innocent virgin when compared with the rapacious painted whorebags that so many of the peak district pubs have turned into.

| A real old fashioned drinking hall. No gimmicks, no frills. Landlady is delightful once you get talking to her. Her daughter is a bit savage, but again, I’m sure she is fine if you get to know her. Had several pints of Thatcher’s Heritage (my favourite cider) which I was surprised to see had made its way this far north, and a couple of cheese rolls by the large crackling fire. Bliss.

| One of the truly fantastic pubs of England (at least in my experience) great beer choice in a friendly environment. No pumps, no lager, no machines and no phone reception! Enjoy! john5339 - 15 Dec 2011 15:11 |
| Time travel back to the 19th century for a pint or two. Beer-tastic. Muzzy - 10 Oct 2011 10:58 |
| Just amazing. Definately not a family pub, so I suggest you leave the kids at home. Just a great place to have a lovely pint or glass of wine with adults. No music, no tacky decor, no cut price meals. What a good pub should be. Contrary to a few reviews the landlady Mary and her daughter Jen are very welcoming. They just don't seem keen (nor am I) on poorly behaved and loud children and dogs. I don't think this pub has changed much in the past 100 years, and I hope it is the same in another 100.
