• "Only a short, 10 minute walk from Hope centre."
• "Lovely little country pub with friendly staff and warm welcome."
• "Really love the old world vibe."
• "What a fabulous old pub. Out of the village of Hope and you think you're lost until you see the sign."
• "Lovely traditional pub."

Cons:

• "Not very welcoming or very friendly bar staff...we was placed at a tiny squash of a table near the very busy bar."
• "We moved to another table which was on a slant, as it was the only one available."
• "The staff made us and my 2 small dogs feel very unwelcome."
• "Upon entering we noticed a lot of flies which wasn't very nice."
• "However, the problem was when we entered the premises to ask the staff if we could dine in the local village idiot, who was propped up at the bar in what appeared to be an inebriated state, decided to interject in a rude and very unwelcoming manner."
• "Okay atmosphere. Young staff rushing through the place sending menus flying."
• "Unfortunately we had to leave as we had other plans for the evening. While the staff behind the bar were apologetic about it and refunded us the money for the food we didn't receive we were left disappointed."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The food is traditional, plentiful and comes at a reasonable price."
• "Can't wait to come again."
• "Excellent quality beer - Bradfield brewery Farmar's Blonde. Cracking beer at a good price."
• "Fabulous value for money."
• "Food was also reasonable price and tasty."
• "Really nice pub with a great beer garden, very good prices."
• "Great service reasonably priced."

Cons:

• "I know it's in the peak district but I think it could be more affordable."
• "Very expensive considering it's not a city. 125ml of red wine cost me £7 ish."
• "For the prices charged we expected more, and better."
• "We had spent £40 on food that they had to refund, which feels like it's counter productive considering to replace two post mix drinks would cost the venue at most 50p."
• "Distinctly average food. Paid £17.50 for a mushroom Wellington that seemed like a frozen catering company job that was popped in the oven."
• "Total waste of money."
• "The down side is the cost which I thought was a bit high."
