Good Pub Guide Recommended

Cheerfully civilised village pub with enjoyable food, in lovely Peak District village
Run by the same welcoming family for the last 50 years, this attractive 17th-c stone coaching inn has a nicely traditional two-room beamed and turkey-carpeted bar. It's warm and cosy with a blazing log and coal fire, daily papers, one or two character gothic seats as well as the usual spindleback and wheelback chairs around cast-iron-framed tables and local photographs and country prints on cream walls. Robinsons Unicorn and Old Stockport are on handpump, and service is friendly and efficient; may be unobtrusive piped jazz. There are hardwood tables and benches both out in front and in the good-sized garden behind which also has boules and garden Jenga; they have overshoes for walkers.

Good Pub Guide Food

As well as lunchtime sandwiches, bar food might include mulligatawny soup, warm mackerel salad with sweet and sour onions, duck liver parfait, spicy three-bean casserole, baked halibut on potatoes, red onions, tomatoes, red peppers and olives, fennel and smoked cheese tart, and chicken breast with mushroom and brandy cream sauce.

Bar food times: 12 - 2, 6.30 - 9; 12 - 2.30, 7 - 9 Sun; not Thurs evening in winter

Had lunch today at the Bull's Head. Very dissapointed with the quality of food. I had steak and ale pie which consisted of a small pot filled with unseasoned meat and a few mushrooms. The pastry top was supposed to be flaky pastry. The roast potatoes tasted like the 'aunt bessie' type and were cold. There was a sprinkling of cold red cabbage. All this for £11! very, very overpriced.

Too late for food 2.55 pm on a Saturday, so ordered a pint and a half. Cost... £5.50. That would have got me 2 pints even in an expensive pub elsewhere.
