   Two out of three meals were very good. My rump steak was cooked exactly as I requested (medium), but the meat was tough. The rest of my meal was well cooked - nothing the chef can do about that. Finished with a rhubarb and apple crumble and proper custard - a good desert, but did not find any rhubarb.

   Our first visit to The Barrel Inn. It won’t be our last. We booked for 1.30pm so it wasn’t too busy. We were greeted by a very nice young man who showed us to our table and brought us our menus. We were given sufficient time to decide on our drinks then on our food order. We both had the pies. I had pheasant and leek any my husband the steak pie. They were absolutely delicious. Probably one of the best pies I’ve ever had. We both had a pudding. Jam roll poly for me and apple and rhubarb crumble for hubby. Delicious. My only slight grumble was not enough custard. We should have asked for extra but politeness won out. The pub is really nice, the staff were friendly and very pleasant. The pub is situated in such a lovely place with the most spectacular views. We would thoroughly recommend. We will certainly be back for another visit with our family.

   We live locally and visit The Barrel Inn regularly. It is our first choice to eat in the Peak District. The staff are welcoming and attentive without being overpowering. The food is exeptional., always hot, well presented and of the highest standard of locally sourced produce seasonally available. Every friend or guest who we have taken there have loved it. I would highly recommend The Barrel Inn and I'm not easily pleased.

   The location is stunning; however, the food, atmosphere, and decor are all very tired. There is dreary music and a very flat atmosphere. The food was okay. There was far too much onion and a huge tempura fried 'thing' placed across the meal. What a shame as we had had a recommendation for this pub.
