A classic pub of its type and if it isn't on the National Inventory it should be, although admittedly it has presumably been knocked through. Lovely high-ceilinged rooms with nice panelling and some good plasterwork; even the Billiard Room is still in use for pool. The place has a pleasant, relaxed feel but just a shame that the only cask ale on was an indifferent Bradfield Farmers Cherry - hardly a crowd-pleaser. Get a couple of good beers in and it would rise to a must-do.

I've been in here a few times since my review of 2013, but neglected to update the review. There has been real ale on here for two or three years, I think, and in fact there are now four hand pumps. The beers available at the time of my visit were mostly from quite a long way away, so I went for the most local, Peak Ales Bakewell Best, which was in very good condition. As I said before, what a lovely pub now that there's some real ale on the bar! I'll be back.
