Pubs in Buxton

“Cosy, dog-friendly pub with excellent food and good selection of drinks including cocktails and beers. We came here for dinner on a foggy Friday at the end of October and it was so good we came back again for dinner the next day! The menu has the usual suspects: scampi, burgers, Mac and cheese, but also home made pies. We chose the cheese and onion pies which come with mushy peas (or garden if you prefer), chunky chips and gravy. The pies were perfect and proved to be a substantial dinner - just right after a foggy afternoon's walking. Our son in law went for the gammon and turkey pie and was equally impressed. The Mac and cheese with (and without) bacon was lovely and came with a good amount of salad and a couple of slices of delicious garlic bread. Our Saturday evening dinner was just as good. The beers are well kept and the espresso martinis (instead of coffees) were very good.Service was friendly (a bit slow on Friday) and helpful. Everywhere was clean and all of the dogs were well behaved. Our dinners were good value for money and we will return when next visiting Buxton.”

“Enjoyed a family meal here, with 3 grandchildren, and 5 adults last night . The food was excellent and the service efficient and very friendly. The children enjoyed their kids meals of chicken nuggets or sausage and all the adults all left very clean plates !I loved my steak and ale pie ( one of the best I've had) and the chips were just excellent ...so tasty. Husband enjoyed his belly pork with crackling.Will definitely be going here again.”

“Popped in here after a lovely walk with the dog. Really friendly, Great service and the food was amazing. Certainly worth a visitVegetarian options: I had the veg Wellington. Never tasted anything so yummy before. Best vegetarian dish Ive ever had”

“Dropped in for a visit after making the trip up to watch my local club Rushall play Buxton at Silverlands and this was my first point of call.Opposite the church, its a tidy little microesque bar. Walking in on a cool October day it was really warming (literally) to have the fire crackling away at the one end.At the other is the bar, with a comic book littered wall of inages on the one side. At first I thought the choice was a little limited, with 4 different tipples to choose from but I went for a different one each time and they were all brilliant choices.Coming in not long after opening time the bar filled up quickly with easygoing regulars, people visiting the area and a few Buxton fans.The music played at an eqsy volume was exceptional also and I think later at night this takes more centre stage with a DJ Booth within the pub itself.Thanks also to all involved for running out the pub to tell me I'd rather drunkenly forgot my bag ?. Massively appreciated!”

“A beautiful old pub, with many books and crannies situated in a delightful village. There's some outdoor seating on the green in front. We had a meal of steak and ale pie with veg, which was extremely tasty and the steak was very tender. If I'm being ultra critical I would have liked a bit more veg, but I certainly didn't leave hungry. The sticky toffee pudding was also excellent. Probably most importantly the Ale was top notch and the pub has won Camra awards for the beer.”

“Only went in for a coffee, they had no milk, but kindly went out of their way to get some. Lovely coffee and hospitality Lovely pub.”

“Early Doors style Pub with characters to match..mainly Golfers talking about the condition of the course etc...Only one hand pump beer on offer from Marstons which was acceptable at best. ..Footy available on at least 2 screens for entertainment.”

“If only we had found this pub at the beginning of our holiday instead of the end! We would have eaten here every day, had that been the case as the whole experience would not have been beaten! Please make sure you walk up to Higher Buxton to try the food here as you will not be disappointed. We were given a warm and friendly welcome and were really pleased with the choice on the menu. My wife had the braised beef in red wine, which she said was one of the best meals she had ever had out, with the beef melting in her mouth, and I had one of the homemade pies which was filled to the brim and was really tasty. Both were served with creamy mashed potatoes and roasted carrots, and a jug of homemade gravy. Added to this, the waitress, Sally, was really friendly and interested in places we had been, and the whole experience was wonderful and really reasonable in price too. Wish this place was in my home town. (photo is of the pie I had, with a jug of homemade gravy in the top left hand corner)”
