The Peak Hotel

Widely regarded as one of the best pubs in the area, The Peak Hotel is alive with the inviting sound of chatter and laughter on any given night of the week. Landlord Rick Ellison recently refurbished and re-styled the hotel, working wonders to create the perfect setting. Inside, open fires, candlelit tables and eccentric vintage features create a unique yet homely feel, while the sunny terrace is ideal for those warmer months. Dog- and muddy boots-friendly, this is the ideal pit-stop for those exploring the area.

Begin your visit with a pint of award-winning real ale or one of the 75 gins behind the bar, before perusing the menu packed with modern and contemporary dishes. Everyone is well catered for with pub favourites and vegan dishes, with local suppliers delivering produce daily. If it’s just a sandwich you’re after, try the famous ‘ribwich’, with tender barbecue rib meat and crispy maple bacon, or for a main meal, plump for pan-seared Scottish salmon served on a homemade fishcake with crispy leeks. The steak burger menu is equally impressive, and the Devil’s Arse burger featuring chilli cheese, jalapeños and chilli jam is not for the faint-hearted.

Recently awarded Pub with the Best Pint at the national Star Pub & Bar Awards, it’s clear that care and attention goes into every detail here. With excellent en-suite accommodation, jam sessions, quiz nights, and beer festivals throughout the year, this much-loved establishment is well worth seeking out.
