The pub serves delicious food with superb ingredients. I highly recommend their fish and seafood, it is divine! They also have a good selection of beers and they are dog-friendly, so it's a great place for a meal/drink after a walk in the area. Thanks to the friendly staff, we also enjoy coming here for special occasions.

Great pub with a deserved reputation. Loved the lamb. Afogato is excellent. Great wine and a lovely half of landlord. Staff were great and couldn't have been more attentive. It's in the middle of nowhere but obviously that's part of the charm.

Can’t comment on the rooms as never stayed but the food is absolutely out of this world delicious. We’ve been coming here now for maybe 12 years? Never had a bad meal here & the Sunday roast is to die for . Best food we’ve had. The chefs are 10/10, coming back next week. Can’t wait!

I love the Swan, the food is very good. Best fish and chips for miles. I haven't stayed in the rooms but believe they are luxurious

My partner and I, pardon the punn, Swanned in last minute on the off chance they had space to accommodate a Sunday lunch for two.. luckily for us, they did. WOW!! If there was the option to do a drooling fac.. 🤤.. oh there is! It wad absolutely delicious. Everything cooked to perfection 👌 Yes, costs more than your average, but for the quality, you don't care. Staff were fantastic, very welcoming despite their being bust and all. Overall, 10/10. We will be returning

Had food here. It was so good. Like really really good. I had the pizza and my partner had pie and mash. Portions were fair and the food was really good quality and fresh. No honestly it was, the pizza was amazing I really do recommend checking it out. They do vegan and gluten free options and the staff are really sweet and helpful too. The chips are so tasty. I am still thinking about them 50 minutes later. Dog friendly also.

Perfect cozy pub to venture to after a day's walking. We normally go on a Saturday for the pizza and truffle fries. It can get very busy but normally you can grab a table upstairs.

Great small bar with so much choice of cask, craft & keg ales. Well stocked warm & welcoming. Watch for the hours of opening! After a longish walk spent a very pleasant late afternoon enjoying excellent pints of cask! Well worth finding & enjoying a great pub.

A great little find in this piece of Sicily brought into the High Peak district. The menu was a host of intriguing unknowns, which made choosing my meal very difficult. I eventually went for the Burrata e Coppa Siciliana, followed by the Margherite Ca Sasizza. (The imported fennel sausage, deliciuos) with long pasta. The home-made ice cream was also great. The service was first class and the staff were very attentive and chatty, making the atmosphere very friendly. Plus, the complimentary Limoncello just rounded the evening off very nicely. "Il cibo e molto bene"

Had a lovely Christmas Eve dinner. The place was packed, however it still felt friendly, homely and had a nice vibe. The staff work very hard and are friendly and really looked after us. The food was amazing. Simple but well done and tasty. Portions are very generous. We had the nduja and mozzarella arancino and spring onions in pancetta to start, Followed by prawns and porchetta and a cannoli to finish.

Had a very enjoyable dining experience at A Tavola recently. Years ago I had been to their Reddish restaurant and so enjoyed it but this was first time at New Mills. Four of us were a little bemused by the extensive choices so we were very happy to be guided into sharing mode by our lovely waiter. Nothing was too much trouble - all the dishes were delicious, different and beautifully cooked and presented on equally beautiful crockery. My son and I were catching up with friends so a lot of chatting but the food stopped us in our tracks and there were no negatives. I want to return, and will do soon to try even more on the menu. Thank you to all staff on the night.

Been a few times for a drink/ice cream and really liked the atmosphere so decided to try the food. Went with a large group and impressed with the attentive service and how delicious the food was :) Lots of options on the menu, I had the beef loaded fries and did not disappoint!

Lovely little pub with an extensive and well laid out menu. Choice was made a little hard by all the tasty sounding options. Staff were pleasant and very friendly service was quick but not rushed. Good choice of drinks There was a little farm shop inside....a return visit necessary to have a look around. Food was delicious and good portion size. Would definitely recommend.

This place is amazing! The food is beautiful, (no pretentious rubbish) with generous portions. The best thing for me is the staff, they are so friendly and welcoming, it makes for such a nice atmosphere. If anyone reading this wants to learn how to be in a customer facing role, you should get yourself down here, get drinks, food and learn from the best! 😁

Stumbled into this pub just as it started to rain, the place was packed out, standing room only, out of the 4 pubs we've visted today in Whaley Bridge, this was definitely head and shoulders above the rest. Great atmosphere, considering how busy it was the service was fast too, and was also the cheapest of the 3 pubs. Would definitely call back when next back in this area.

Wonderful, unpretentious traditional British country pub, with some fun quirky touches in the decor that made us smile. Very dog-friendly and welcoming towards people who were clearly not locals. Great choice of craft beers (though more than one red wine would have been nice). No food, but that's fine as the pub was lovely just as it was.

I had the Chicken Liver and Brandy Parfait followed by Roast Pork and Stuffing. It’s a traditional pub in a nice part of the countryside. It’s nice food and good service, my only criticism is that I would have liked Mashed Potato with the Sunday Roast.

Really beautiful luxurious room with a lot of thought put into making sure guests have every comfort. The food in the pub was top notch. I recommend the lamb Henry. Staff were friendly and helpful. A great base for the western Peaks.

We had two wonderful dinners at the Lamb Inn while on a hiking holiday in the Peak District. Everything we ordered was delicious, from the fish and chips to the pie and beef bourguignon, was all 5 stars. Kids enjoyed their meals as well. Will definitely return the next time we are back.

We came here for one night to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. The staff were very helpful in organising a bottle of Champagne for when we arrived for lunch, and they’d given us a lovely window seat. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast and all three meals were outstanding. My husband said his fillet steak was in the top 2 steaks he’d ever had - high praise! We selected our breakfast choices on a slip the day before and it was served in the pub lounge next to a beautiful roaring fire. In addition to the hot breakfast they also had our fresh fruit and yogurt, cereal, toast and assorted jams and honey and fresh tea and coffee. Just wonderful! The property seems to have three rooms and they are all accessed by external doors so we could come and go as we pleased. We were in Room 2 with the comfiest bed, tea and coffee and little extra chocolates were provided, and the bathroom was very spacious with a good shower. Nothing was too much for any of the staff. We’d love to come again when the weather is nicer and explore nearby. You will need a car or grab a taxi to get anywhere.

Very lucky to get a table for Sunday lunch having not reserved a table. The food was amazing. All 5 of us had Sunday lunch covering all the available options (including veggie). The food was high quality, plentiful and beautifully presented. Service was impeccable too. Many thanks.

Dan the owner is a special man. He really looked after me and went out of his way to make sure I would enjoy my time at the studio apartment and what the area had to offer. He developed this building from a garage. It’s spectacular. There’s too many features to list. Great food at the restaurant. Studio was super quiet, rare to find this level of quietness. Book and enjoy, you won’t regret it. Thank you Don’t touch the painting, it’s HOT! 😂

Clean and cozy room, with all the necessary present and of good quality. As they CLEARLY state on their website it’s possible to hear people laughing and talking in the pub, but unless you aren’t in bed before sunset, that isn’t an issue. Very nice breakfast, very friendly staff, and the restaurant at the Old Hall is great.

Excellent, stayed one night here and loved it. The Old Hall is beautiful, really feels like you’ve stepped back in time. The food was incredible and at reasonable prices, the fish and chips was especially good! Sadly they didn’t have two of the deserts we had wanted from the menu but the trifle we eventually settled on was very nice! Only downside was the room didn’t feel super clean, few hairs, cobwebs etc, especially in the old basin (Room 5!). Service in terms of the staff was brilliant too.

We loved our stay at the old Hall Inn. Lots of parking. Friendly helpfull staff. I am lactose intolerant and they ensured my food was free from it. The meals were excellent. My husbands suet pudding was huge and very tasty. Chips perfect. We were in room 4 with the balcony and four poster bed. Delightful! We did a lovely walk from the pub and visited the near by Bugsworth Basin. We will be back I’ve already asked my daughter for another voucher. Thank you every one for a wonderful experience

Really lovely pub! We always enjoy going. Very cosy and family friendly. They do a fantastic gluten free fish and chips and offer a lot of other gluten free options. The roast beef sandwich (Sunday menu) is also available in gluten free and was lovely. Pretty much the best roast beef we’ve had in years and the gluten free bread was actually very nice. The normal bread is also fantastic, my husband really enjoyed his as well.

Called in for Sunday roast on way home to Manchester what a result made welcome as soon as we walked in, was seated at table and not rushed to order the service was impeccable even I would say perfect, as for the roast it was so tender you didn't have to cut it, it fell apart veg cooked perfectly and priced very reasonably I've paid twice as much for half as tasty. Well done the cock a lesson to other pubs and restaurants. Will I be back, your to right I will.

Phenomenal!!! So pleased we passed by this pub on the way home, the service was amazing and the food was delicious, home cooked and generous! Great veggie and vegan choices and sooo many gluten free options, most of the dishes looked like they could be done GF. Veggie burger and roast beef sandwiches both 10/10. We felt so comfortable and looked after, thank you Mike for being so passionate about the menu and chatting to us, as well as for my birthday dessert! We will definitely be back ☺️

The staff were very welcoming and able to accommodate 6 people on a Sunday, with very short notice. There is a good selection of drinks on offer and great coffee too. The food all came out together, piping hot and to a great standard. Puddings are exceptional and definitely worth squeezing in, especially the ginger sponge with stem ginger sauce and custard! Service excellent - we will be back....thanks
