Harden's survey result
Summary
“Altogether a model for other pubs to aspire to”, this village gastroboozer sits in a “delightful” setting in the Peak District National Park, with many a ramble on the doorstep. “Luke (Payne) is the chef and can be seen in his open kitchen” turning out seasonal, sustainable British cooking “with skill and a light touch”, while “Emma, his wife is on front of house” overseeing the “smart and helpful” staff. NB pooch fans: as they themselves announce, they’re ‘completely dog-friendly’ (down to having a resident ‘Maître D’og’, Lola).
Summary
It’s “well worth a trip out” to the Peak District National Park to find this “exceptional” small village gastroboozer; chef Luke Payne’s “upmarket food with a northern twist” has won the seal of approval from many a national restaurant critic, and there are excellent walks from the door.
Summary
This “local village pub in the shadow of Kinder Scout” “does astonishing food”, and “seems to be going from strength to strength in the wise hands of Luke Payne, who is entirely self-taught”. Marina O’Loughlin of the Sunday Times and Tim Hayward of the FT are among its many fans, the former declaring her meal “divine” and “unimprovable”. Top Menu Tip – “the knock-out dish was a beef curry pie with a gravy that most of our great Indian restaurants would be hard-put to match!”
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
