"I went to this restaurant for brunch, but I wish I could have also gone back for lunch! There were plenty of options to choose from, and I decided to try the vegan breakfast. It was not only huge, but also incredibly delicious. The fact that the meal included tea or coffee in the price was unbelievable. Such great value for money!"

"The landlady and bartender went above and beyond to accommodate us last night at short notice and late. We were on our way back from Manchester Airport when Baslow became impassable. No local hotels had rooms available, but after traveling 15 miles back, we found the Roebuck. Our room was comfortable and spotless, and we were able to get a much-needed good night's sleep thanks to the comfortable bed and pillows. Despite the late hour, they even directed us to a pizza place for food. We are incredibly grateful for their hospitality. The Roebuck is a truly wonderful pub with fantastic staff and exceptional bed and breakfast. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"I don’t write very many reviews and I like to also praise (as it seems to be more negative comments are more frequent to be written), but in this case unfortunately I offer honest feedback that was not good (at all). A while ago we went in to Hargreaves of Buxton, I realised it had a cafe upstairs (it was raining and nearest place to go), myself and my partner were hungry so decided to purchase sandwiches and cake. Well….I’m not going to go on about the service which was lack lustre and very “caf” like but that’s exactly what it was unfortunately. Never the less our food looked nice so we tucked in. But unfortunately again the bread was “not stale” but very dry/rough and both the cake and sandwiches left us looking for flavour. We took the food in a napkin with us so we wouldn’t offend but we then went to a nice new cafe down the town and had some delicious food. All in all I wouldn’t recommend this caf on what we experienced. I’m also shocked that I just read a review on Google and the rude response of the owner. So I was dubious to write this but never the less the truth is the truth."

"Wondering if this place has changed hands in recent times? Been here a few times over the years when visiting Buxton and has always been fantastic, however visiting on Saturday, unfortunately, for all of us in our party of 6 the food was dire. The service is still brilliant (although appears to be all new staff). The atmosphere, perhaps may be due to the cold weather, but did not have that Saturday night 'thriving ' feel there has been in the past/you usually get in Italian restaurants on a busy weekend night. The food though was just not good at all, sorry to say. Previously it has been some of the best Italian food we have had, fresh, homemade, really nice pizza, pasta. The menu seemed different tonight, and the food just tasted like the bases had been bought on the pizza, the garlic bread was like ciabatta sticks but were burnt, my tagliatelle l 'd expected to be pasta tossed with Olives, Sundried tomato etc and it looks more like soggy noodle dish. My brother in law said the calamari tasted like frozen shop bought stuff, and the eggplant ravoli had the aubergine on the outside as if it had just been thrown together. Hopefully this is just a blip, perhaps the usual Chef was off work, but to me something seems to have changed, or unfortunately gone wrong."

"Really delicious Lamb Henry (with chips instead of mash), but sadly I can not recommend this place if you have a food allergy or dietary requirements. They are trying with GF options etc. but did not inspire confidence in their knowledge/competence or communication with kitchen. I ordered the burger with out cheese, as I am allergic to milk. The waitress who took the order was helpful but wasn't sure if the bun contained milk, she said she would check. The burger then arrived with cheese on. Had this not been visible milk, Id have eaten it trusting that my dairy free request had reached the chief the chief knew what they were doing. Then when the second burger arrived, without cheese on, it also lacked the caramelised onions side salad. When I asked if I could please have the salad, onions and some mayo they were apologetic but also surprised mayonnaise doesn't contain milk. They also said the onions were fried in butter (a pitty as it's unnecessary, and means vegans can't eat them either) I really can't explain the lack of salad surely everyone knows salad doesn't contain milk?! After all this I felt like I was really going to annoy the staff if I double checked the bun milk possibility, so I just didn't eat the bun in case they had overlooked checking whether it had milk in. Disappointing, especially in comparison to the other two pubs in Chinley which have excelled in their helpful service ability to cater to dietary requirements (though only had sorbet as a dairy free/vegan desert option). On the up side the lamb Inn did have a vegan treacle tart ice cream available, despite having no vegan main course. Slightly bizar but great if you only want chips and desert I guess! That is assuming they are correct in saying its vegan I just don't feel very confident to trust their allergen listings after that experience. For anyone without dietary requirements its delicious food and at least one friendly waitress."

"Whats not to love about this place? The lovely warm welcome from all the fanily despite turning up late in the evening without a booking. Good quality fresh food, the chicken was soooo good I've not tasted chicken like it from a Chinese before. The friendly and attentive service. A good priced menu with plwnty of options. This is such a lovely family owned small business that should be supported thanks for an amazing meal!"

"This was awful, wish we 'd gone elsewhere, we were moved from the spacious table we chose because it was a table of 4, and we were two, we were sat down on a table of two cramped in the corner with another man placed next to us. The table of 4 we originally sat at wasn 't touched the entire time we were there and was a very obvious attempt at the manager trying to capitalise profit at the detriment of customer service on the off-chance another table of 4 came in. Shocking. My partner ordered at the counter where the tall dark haired manager who looked like he should be selling second-hand cars rather than working in a cute country village tearoom rudely jabbed and upsold her to the point where we payed £15.50 for two teas, a sandwich and chips. He then ordered her to make sure the menu was placed back on the table . The chips came out stone cold, they were changed fairly promptly with limited apologies. Hot chips? Not that hard. Infact, harder to serve cold chips if they 're fresh . The man seemed to think the overuse of thankyou, cheers, thankyou, cheers would distract us from his terrible service and hospitality. It was rather embarrassing and an wholly unpleasant experience. Avoid and don 't be a victim to this guy 's terrible attitude and solely money-making business, no passion at all."

"We went in for Sunday lunch and decided to have the carvery. They'd only just opened so there were plenty of tables available and we were told to choose any available table before ordering. We ordered the carverys and beers and then took our tokens through to where the carvery was being served. A pleasant young man expertly carved the meat and we helped ourselves to the veg. We asked where we'd find cutlery, and we were told that it would be brought to our table. No cutlery was at our table when we returned with our plate of hot food, so I went in search of some. I found some near the coffee machine and we started eating our meal. At least 5 minutes later, a waitress brought us some cutlery, and she looked surprised that we'd started eating. She asked us to lift our plates off the table so she could put some place mats under them. In the process, she managed to knock my wife's half pint of bitter all over the table and my leg. Nice. She did apologise though, and replaced the spilled drink without question. Two ladies had come in after us and ordered the same carvery. They too sat down with their plates of hot food and no sign of cutlery. When the waitress was asked for some, she again asked them to lift their plates so she could put place mats down. My concern with this is that having people lift their plates while the waitress tries to slide place mats in between multiple drinks, seems like a needlessly risky process. And for what? The tables don't look like they need protecting, and we certainly weren't asking for them. And if they ARE necessary, why not place them on the table, WITH cutlery, immediately after the food has been ordered? In the end, it was a reasonably pleasant meal, marred by having to find our own cutlery, some clumsy table serving and an unnecessary requirement for place mats."

"After walking around the beautiful area for five hours, we decided to dine at this restaurant. We had read online that they offered vegan options, and we were not disappointed! I ordered the vegan fish and chips, which was wrapped in nori seaweed around the banana blossom, giving it a delicious sea-like taste. My wife chose the Moving Mountains burger and she really enjoyed it. Both dishes came with a generous portion of fries. Additionally, we ordered starters - onion rings for me and halloumi fries for her (she's not vegan). To top it off, I indulged in a chocolate tart because it would have been rude not to. The food was all delicious and we had a hard time walking back to our tent afterwards. This is definitely a good thing, in case you were wondering."

"First and last visit on Saturday afternoon. Cafe was busy so expected a short wait but 20 mins for 3 milkshakes seriously. People ordering well after us all received hot drinks and hot food and waiting staff had plenty of time to stand around and chat to customers when bringing food out. A lady walked past us returning a few mins later with a tub of ice ream after about 10 mins but completely ignored us, found that quite rude. After 20mins we asked to cancel our order which the staff seemed shocked to hear. Apparently our drinks were actually ready but abandoned in the kitchen. Not really worth the wait so won't be returning."

"This cafe is Ideally situated for those fortunate enough to secure a space in the car park, and walkers who have arrived by coach. Not an attractive establishment by any means it is unchanged for at least five decades. The service is what would be described today as entry level. I am not its target customer but the coffee is decent. I wouldn't be poaching any of the staff. However the service is acceptable. Times have changed here in Castleton and its no longer the genteel country village of my youth and now the space that this Café occupies in no longer adequate at certain times, with a huge number of overseas visitors, a huge contingent of dogs and a cacophony of noisy chatter echoes off the hard surfaces."

"Went in here last Wednesday for lunch with my family and the dog. Had some lovely food and the dog loved it. Would definitely visit again and would highly recommend We had 2 of the tapas selection and the food was tasty and good value. The place itself looks great and the staff were all so friendly and a credit to the business. Kobe had the doggy sausage I wish we had managed to get a better seat as in the main area it was a bit loud. If the weather was better we would have sat outside in the lovely seating area. And the seating around the stairs area was full up. The menu itself was fab, great selection and good value for money. The food was tasty and very appetising. Will definitely be back again next time I'm passing through Glossop with the dog. It's a great venue for a good meal. Thanks for a fab lunch"

"Ate here one night in Buxton The food was excellent and very well priced. I would have given 5 stars if they had not asked me to move tables because of a big party coming in, I had to move because I’m guessing a regular wanted the table I was sat on, they knew him by first name. I also asked if I could come back tomorrow, the answer was yes we will find you a table. Arrived and told sorry no table free, for those two reasons I will not return. Shame because the food was great"

"Perfect place to break up our journey south with a warming cuppa and piece of cake. We each had a different variety of bakewell cake (highly recommend) and noticed there were various vegan and GF options available too. Very friendly staff, with a few little craft type things to browse. Toilets upstairs including baby change facilities and there’s an excellent playpark just across the road which gave our toddler opportunity to burn off some energy before getting back in the car. Lovely hidden gem."

"I'm very disappointed! Met my sister there, and we were so happy laughing a lot, but we were judged to be intoxicated. This is the ideal point to meet for us both. To go to the bar and to be told they couldn't serve us. Thought it was some kind of sick joke. Sat down with our husbands, absolutely aghast. We spoke to the manager, a young lady,who was lovely. She obviously made a snap decision and had advised her staff not to serve us. We had pointed out our unique situation, of having only just gained contact with each other. The young lady retracted her comments and realised we were not drunk from alcohol, but drunk on happiness......huge difference. We all felt it completely spoilt our day. I asked the lady to bring this situation up at staff meetings, Basically, do not judge everyone the same. I use Wetherspoons a lot, and eat there, have friends that work for the company. Not your best moment."

"Visited while staying in Buxton. It was a mix of recommendation of a local (to us) CAMRA group leader and our own appreciation of Titanic beer. We visited on the Friday night of our trip: the beer was good, staff were attentive and friendly, there...was a good atmosphere. Came back on the Saturday night: it was busier (as was the whole of Buxton), staff were just as good, beer was just as good, atmosphere was lovely, the food coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled fabulous unfortunately can't comment on the taste as we'd just eaten at the Indian next door. It was a really good experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Buxton."
