⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Fantastic – A Must-Visit!
The Royal Oak in the Peak District is an absolute gem! We loved it so much that we went two nights in a row, and honestly, I wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and they even remembered us and our drinks from the night before, which made the experience feel even more special.
The food? Incredible. Every dish was full of flavor, cooked to perfection, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re after a hearty meal after a day exploring or just a great atmosphere with top-notch service, this place delivers on every level.
I can’t recommend it highly enough—if you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and go! You won’t be disappointed

Could not praise them more. The staff are great and the food is great. They were so amazing with my autistic son, the chef came out to speak to him and that is something that deserves high praise. Thank you so much.

Felt the warmth of the place as soon as we stepped through the door.
We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff and shown to our table.....even though we were 3/4's of an hour before our booked time.
No fuss and very much appreciated by our party of four.
The ambience of the pub was lovely and it was our 1st visit.
The food was excellent,all the staff were so attentive,friendly and made it a great experience to eat there.
It was probably the best eating out I've had in a long time.....what an absolute gem.
We will certainly be calling back in the future.....when we're next visiting the area.

Ate here on Saturday evening after a walk. Lovely food, we both had pies which were lovely. Good quality with loads of filling and a really nice gravy. The chips and veg were nice too. Service was good despite it being a busy Saturday evening. Pub is dog friendly too! Well kept absolution on tap also, what's not to like!

Had dinner a couple of times here. Food was exactly what you’d expect from a pub dinner. We had the Bean burger and fish & chips. Both yummy. The buffalo wing spicy sauce was the star of the show for me. Staff were super professional and attentive. Atmosphere very relaxed. Dog friendly.

Lovely bustling pub with a great atmosphere. The really impressive thing here are the staff. All so helpful, attentive and friendly. The food was typical pub food, really well done and generous portions. A really broad selection. Very dog friendly. Spacious car park, but I’ve never been anywhere in the UK with as many potholes as this area so watch out.

Been to the Royal Oak a few times now over the years despite it being nowhere near home. Always amazing food, great service and staff. We have even specially gone for the 53 mile round trip drive on 3 different occasions just because we know we'll get a fantastic meal. Can't recommend it enough.

Very dog friendly pub allowing us to enjoy our lunch while having a day out with our dog, Jake.
It was warm and welcoming, and the food was amazing. I can recommend the fish & chips, while hubby loved the belly pork. It wasn't the cheapest pub lunch we've had, but it was worth every penny.

We found this place when searching for gluten free food and we are so glad we did. The food was amazing and plenty of it, the room we were in had a roaring fire lit. This was great as there was snow and it was freezing. The service was nothing short of perfect. It was a fantastic experience all round and perfect for my wife's birthday

First visit after our usual place to eat out was fully booked. Glad we made the change! Menu with plenty of choice and a good selection of ‘specials’ too. I had lamb’s liver with spring onion mash and parsnip crisps. It was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our party of seven, enjoyed their meals. We had desserts as well and I was pleasantly surprised that they were all home made and again, totally delicious. Reasonably priced in today’s market and taking into consideration the quality and the fact it’s homemade.
Great service and lovely interior. Felt more spacious than our usually haunt. We will be back!

We had been to Bakewell christmas market. ( waste of time) . Decided we wanted something to eat before setting off for Yorkshire. I would definitely recommend booking in advance. The place was very busy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Once we got our table . We ordered our drinks and food. A really good pint. And the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend this to anyone
