Lucky Little Hucklow having a pub like this. The residents of this tiny village high up in the Peak District are fortunate to live near such a beautifully restored 12th-century inn. It's spread over two floors with an open kitchen upstairs and a rustic, cosy feel throughout. The concise menu moves with the seasons and incorporates international influences for some extra punch. If you want time to explore the nearby walking routes, book one of the lovely bedrooms in The Old Piggery, with the ground-floor rooms being dog-friendly.
WebsiteAt the centre of impressive formal grounds sits this fine Edwardian manor house with charming bedrooms and a classic country house feel, which is now run by the second generation of the Fischer family. Diners are spread across two elegant rooms overseen by a formal service team, with the ‘Kitchen Bench’ experience available for those who really like to be part of the action. Local is key on the menu of classically based dishes, with Chatsworth Estate venison a must-order if you're here in game season.
WebsiteWithin the grounds of the Peak District’s renowned Chatsworth Estate sits The Cavendish Hotel – and within that is this elegant restaurant where oil paintings fill the walls and there’s a palpable sense of history in the air. Ingredients from the Estate – including juicy, full-flavoured beef – play a key role in the cooking, in dishes that avoid overcrowding the delicious natural flavours of the produce. The breads and desserts are particular highlights, providing excellent bookends to your meal.
WebsiteIn the heart of a historic market town, famed for its puddings and tarts, you'll find this cosy restaurant located inside a former stable block. That past occupation makes itself known in the wonderfully rustic décor with wood-panelled walls, exposed brickwork and beamed ceilings. The chatty, informative team are sure to put a smile on your face as they enthusiastically explain the modern dishes made up of quality local ingredients and featuring classic combinations like roasted beetroot with goat's cheese. The team also run a more casual coffee shop next door.
WebsiteA former bank has been lovingly and carefully restored to provide a home for this restaurant in the bustling Peak District town of Chapel-en-le-Frith. It’s now a laid-back, charmingly run place that the area can be proud of, serving ambitious dishes with a creative edge – such as a deconstructed version of a bouillabaisse. If you’re an indecisive diner, opt for the tasting menu; if you like things more relaxed, come at lunch for more pub-influenced dishes like fish pie and grilled pork chop. Two beautifully appointed apartments sit above the restaurant.
