| My experience is slightly different to Gristy's! Perhaps I went at a different time. This is the best pub in Bakewell. It has the Greene King straitjacket, yes, but Abbeydale Moonshine was on when I went in which is a hint that the management are making the effort. The lady that has served me the last two times I have been in has been lovely, fellow drinkers have been friendly. the conversation last time was about Shane Meadows films, and the previous time I was allowed to temporarily adopt a dog and play throw-ball with it. This is an excellent locals and visitors pub due to the efforts of the staff, none of whom I know or am related to! dry_riser_inlet - 30 Mar 2012 18:14 |
| Bakewell is a bit "meh" when it comes to pubs. Being so heavily touristic means there isn't really a true "locals" pub where you feel you can just sit and have a good local beer, take in the old-fashioned surroundings and not feel as though you are always in a family dining experience. This is no different - Greene King owned and nothing approaching a local beer on tap, although the Black Sheep was perfectly OK. Fairly heavy accent on eating with more of the feel of a restaurant - albeit with a dartboard area at one side of the bar and a flatscreen for sport at the other end. Menu looked reasonably good, but not sure I could be dragged back in again. Gristy - 14 Feb 2012 12:08 |
| Quite a nice pub. Has an outdoor beer garden although not as cozy as the Queens over the road. Inside it is quite traditional and in my opinion more of a place where you go for lunch than a drinking session. It has very good food here and also vegetarian options for those veggies out there. Beer is good and toilets are standard but clean. Would recommend for a bite to eat. Pubmanbeer - 29 Aug 2011 13:46 |
