Traditonal pub, with a modern twist serving a selction of well kept cask ales, and excellent pub grub.

A long way from home, we came to The Manners for lunch. Inside and outside it appears to be a no-frills pub. The food, however, is absolutely amazing. A high proporttion of items on the menu were either gluten-free or could be made so (important for us as one of us is gluten-free). One of us had cod wrapped in Parma ham with green beans and citrus cream sauce, the other had honey roasted belly pork on black pudding hash. Exceedingly generous portions, beautifully presented, exquisitely cooked. In decades of eating pub lunches and dinners, I do not recall one as good as this one at The Manners. With a side of veg, two lime and sodas the bill came to £33 - unbelievably good value.The super-friendly waitress told us that a husband and wife team own and run the pub and do the cooking. Well done to them and many thanks!A lovely place which we will be back to next year when we make our annual pilgrimage to the Rock and Fossil Fair in Bakewell.

This was my final Sunday lunch at this wonderful hotel because the business is closing on 29 September 2019. Every meal has been exceptional, the ambience of the dining room and the professional service from the servers always contributed to a perfect dining experience. My family have celebrated memorable birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions and we will struggle to find another venue to match the unique Hassop Hall Hotel. So sad to say goodbye - we will miss you.

We ate with friends on both a Friday and Saturday night recently and we could not have been made more welcome! The food was excellent and everyone we spoke to, including numerous staff, could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Our friends were staying from the US and we turned up, not having booked, and still received excellent service and fabulous food. Highly recommend the vegetarian oatcake with Brie and walnut or the burger! We were a party of 11 with 6 kids and a puppy! - so not the easiest group to accommodate but The Crispin did it admirably! We will definitely be back and we strongly recommend it to all. A proper country, dog-friendly, village pub who offer all you could want!Excellent!

We were staying at The Hunters Inn with our camper van so hopeful that the pub on our doorstep would be worth a visit. We were not dissapointed. Our reservation for two was changed to four by the very friendly waitress and despite saying there might be a little wait with our orders we were served pretty quickly. My mushroom risotto was excellent and the oher diners were really happy with their choices of salmon & traditional fish & chips. The portions are very large so you might not need a starter. And be careful when ordering the garlic bread- it is half of a giant tiger loaf, enough for about eight people!

Quite small inside with only a few tables...dog friendly....food ok with a selection of sandwiches,paninis,jacket potatoes and cakes...canât understand however why businesses today donât accept card payments especially in a touristy village that has no cash points ???

Absolutely delicious. We had fillet steaks for my birthday dinner. I can honestly say they were the best steaks we have ever had, absolutely beautiful. Even had puddings, can highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding with cream. What an extremely talented chef! Well done. Lovely friendly staff. The rooms were rubbish though. No power whatsoever in the shower and a really dated bathroom. Too much furniture in the room. Booked 2 nights but left after 1 due to poor bathroom facilities.

A short and pleasant stay in Bakewell and this was the best meal we had. Not an extensive menu but a good selection. My choice of the lamb main course was superb. A very pleasant atmosphere in a roomy restaurant - which is a surprise after seeing the small frontage. Not cheap, but good value considering the quality of the food, and good service. Strongly recommended.

We booked a few days in the Peak District to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were looking for a recommended restaurant for dinner.Piedaniels got so many positive reviews that we decided to try it and were not disappointed.Owner and staff were very friendly and the food was excellent, our starters and main meals consisted of high quality, fresh ingredients.We enjoyed all of the dishes but must mention the lamb wellington which was delicious.We did not have desserts as the portions were fairly generous and reasonably priced.I would highly recommend this restaurant, I just wish it was closer to our home town as it would be our âgo to restaurant â

We alway look forward to coming here as the pub may be small but the food always makes up for the lack of space.On our first trip we both had chicken which was a little under seasoned, but the cheese board was excellent.The second visit we both had lamb on butter beans which wasnât to our taste.Thatâs hasnât put us off, we will be back in 2020

The small and cozy 'Gallery Cafe' is tucked away in a corner of the Rutland Antiques Centre. In the cafe you will find a selection of sandwiches, toasted hot and cold, coffee and cakes. The walls have paintings on display (hence 'Gallery' Cafe) and comfortable seats and tasteful decor. Prices in my opinion are a little bit high, we paid £17.50 for two toasted sandwiches and one regular coffee, but the presentation and quality was very good.
