"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"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Clearly a busy spot on the weekend we had a late dinner on the last Friday of the month. Dogs are allowed and very well looked after too! Meal was lovely, my partner had the pie and I had chicken tikka kebab. The food tasted...fabulous and so worth the wait. Staff were attentive but rushed off their feet, so it wasn’t all table service which was honestly not a problem! However, if you had a disability and needed table service this might be worth keeping in mind during busy periods. We ate at sister company the night before and both had great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Izzy really stood out offering brilliant customer service in both venues."

"Food was ok, no problems. We found that apart from the one member of staff (in an Xmas jumper, I’m sorry I didn’t get your name) were quite unfriendly. It almost felt like they really didn’t want to be there. We were given the wrong bill (much more than we had ordered) which was sorted by staff (totally understand that mistakes happen) however, when we were then given the correct bill, We mentioned to them that we had paid £40 cash deposit as requested. They came back to us and basically said we had to prove we had paid it. We had kept the receipt but it was at home, personally I would expect a restaurant to have made a note of the deposit. They actually asked us to go home to get the receipt. My husband and uncle were just going out of the door leaving myself and step daughter at the table when a different member of staff found our £40 deposit, stapled into a diary with our name in the top. Sadly we ended up feeling like we were being accused of lying about having paid the deposit. Maybe make sure all deposits are recorded next to the booking in all calendars."

"After a long Sunday walk we often go for a pub lunch. Today we visited the Royal and ordered Sunday beef roast. Service was quick (lot longer for dessert. I'm a fussy eater but this roast has to be the best we have ever had anywhere! Lots of beef and it was so tender. Tried to fit in chocolate tart ...it too was so yummy...and huge! Don't often go back to same place but will definitely revisit the Royal. Staff very pleasant too. If I had to give a negative it's that we booked a table..arrived on time but no table was reserved for us (though other tables had reserved). We were shown to table in back bar in far corner...very dark and miserable until we saw a better table had come free and asked for that. Next time hoping a table will be reserved for us!"

"We have visited before a few years ago. Went back because we had a good experience. At first things were going ok, but 45 mins after ordering we had not been served, where other who had come in after were getting their food so went and asked what was happening, They had failed to deliver our food it had been cooked but now my gammon was cold, so they microwaved it and served it, mushrooms shrivelled up, gammon was now a biscuit. I called them over so they quickly apologised and cooked another gammon, by which time my wife had finished her food. The manager came over and apologised and decided to refund in full both our meals. Once cooked correctly the food was good hence my score. Would we go there again, yes we would but would be keeping a check on the service time. As a note we did not ask for a refund."
"After a long hike on the weekend, my friend and I were craving some delicious pizza and a good cup of tea. Despite seeing a sign inside the pub restaurant indicating booking only, we decided to ask a very welcoming staff member if we could find a table for two. The entire team was friendly, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed pizzas and fries and were seated near the fire which was perfect as we were soaked from the day out. The pub had a warm and inviting atmosphere and we truly appreciated the exceptional service from the staff. We will definitely be returning when we visit Hope Valley and may even consider staying at George. It was a wonderful experience that left our tummies satisfied. Thank you for your hard work and we can't wait to come back again! Also, highly recommend the pizzas and we've heard the Sunday roast is fantastic. Make sure to book a table in advance as it tends to get busy. We didn't take any photos as we were too hungry and enjoyed each other's company, the food, and conversation."

"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."

"I have visited this restaurant several times in the past and have always enjoyed my meals. However, my experience today was very disappointing. We ordered the 2-course Sunday lunch and were disappointed to find that the stuffing was rock hard slabs that did not resemble stuffing at all. We immediately sent it back. Additionally, there was only a small amount of gravy on the dinner, so I requested extra gravy but never received it. Our table was not cleared, and we never received our desserts. After waiting for 40 minutes, I had to go to the bar to ask for a refund on the desserts. The staff member behind the bar was busy but could have been more polite. We will not be returning to this restaurant in the future."

"I was on a stroll through Buxton on a wet and cold weekend afternoon and encountered this place – which showed much promise. Alas a promise unfulfilled. We ordered only hot drinks and puddings. Drinks; good, puddings dry – and cold lumpy custard. In what world are hot winter puddings sold with refrigerated custard. Price was a little steep, but could have been justified if the custard had at least taken a trip via the microwave.There is surely a reasonable expectation that custard would be hot – and if not tell your customers, Please. After all, it must have been hot once!"

"Unfortunately a strange and not too pleasant eating experience. We picked up a range of dishes as a takeaway, and the staff in both the restaurant and the takeaway shop were lovely. The food however was odd, and not very good. The good points; the sticky rice and coconut rice were good, the tofu was pretty nice. The issues; the ‘dry’ red Thai curry was a tupperware full of a thin watery liquid much thinner than coconut milk, the marinated mixed vegetable skewers were uncooked vegetables with no chargrilling and almost no visible marinade, the stir fried vegetable dish was also very watery with almost raw vegetables. For almost 40 this was really disappointing, so although the restaurant may be good, for takeaway I’d advise you don’t risk it."
