What a very special experience for lunch. The surroundings are beautiful, food fantastic and service second to none

Three booked for lunch. We were sat in the Rex Whistler Room as requested which we were pleased with as the other part of the cafe was very busy. Two of the meals were great. Unfortunately a chain saw would have been the only tool to get through the baked potato skin and the salad was covered in balsamic glaze which I don’t like. We were not asked about a salad dressing.

Stayed in a holiday cottage just down the road so was ideally situated for an evening meal. Made to feel very welcome. The food was very good and the desserts very nice. I was drinking the marstons pedigree which was excellent.

We were a party of 4 for the evening menu. Little did we know just what a treat were in for. Every meal and the sides were all excellent. The hispi cabbage billed as a humble side was an absolute knock out dish! If you haven't already supported this local business please do yourself a favour and book in soon, your taste buds will be grateful!

Went for Sunday lunch, last minute decision, not been there before. Roast lunch was very good. Friends tried the zebra & kangaroo & enjoyed both. Extensive drinks list. Great service, efficient & friendly. Nice ambience in the restaurant. Price point was good for what we had. We would go again.

Me and my partner came on Saturday evening and it was lovely from start to finish. We both tried something new the venison and the zebra and it was delicious. All the staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. The atmosphere with the live music was great. Will definitely be recommending and returning whenever we are in Buxton.

Staying in the village we visited the olde gate on three occasions, the food served was excellent, one of our group is vegetarian and she found the vegetarian options very good, staff and very friendly and helpful and this is an excellent old pub , all in all good value for money and would recommend a visit

Had a lovely evening, never been here before, a weekend in the peaks so decided to book having seen the pub/restaurant online. Fantastic food, great service and just a lovely all round vibe with the live band on too. Would definately visit again and highly recommend. Thank you

Lovely restaurant, great friendly service and good food. Sunday roast available in a smaller portion too.

Had a great meal here - Sunday roast and steaks are a must. The tenderest chicken I’ve ever had along with lovely veg and all the trimmings. Wish we’d had room for dessert as they looked mouthwatering. Will definitely be back to try them.

Son lives in Buxton whilst my wife and I live in North Wales. We came here for my wife's 70th birthday and enjoyed the food so much that we came back to celebrate son's 50th birthday. We all had Sunday dinner. I had beef the others had lamb. All were equally delicious. All of us plumped for key lime pie and although I personally do not usually have a dessert, it was very nice. The other two however were drooling over how tasty it was. Food and service were Excellent. Although not the cheapest restaurant food, the quality meant that it was well worth every penny. Thank You!

Visted Renishaw Hall for afternoon tea. The service, food and the environment were fantastic. One of the nicest afternoon teas ive experienced, the food was excellent, this included 4 finger sandwiches per person, a sausage roll and an individual mini quiche, a beautiful large homemade scone with a tub of clotted cream and a jar of jam, a selection of small cakes and a garnish of Blueberries, strawberies and raspberries. It was delicious. The staff were so friendly and very attentive, nothing was too much trouble.

Great place and fantastic steaks. Pre theatre dining at its best. Service, food and choice of beers all first class. Do not be disappointed make sure you book. Deserts looked lovely that were coming out but we could not manage one. Walking distance to the Buxton Opera House. Would thoroughly recommend.

First time in this lovely restaurant. We had gone early before the theatre. Food excellent. Good choice and good portion size. Service a little slow.

excellent: always is. excellent helpful and welcoming staff, great menu and outstanding food and drink: extremely good value for money

From a friend’s recommendation we dined at Baileys bar, food was lovely we both had rib eye steak cooked as requested and was delicious, the service is good, not too long to wait between starter and main, served with drinks in between. Entertainment followed the meal and we stayed at the table to conclude the evening, the atmosphere was brilliant, a relaxing enjoyable evening. I would highly recommend to anyone. Enjoy.

We had a lovely breakfast, beautiful fresh produce with attentive staff. Our only negative observation, while I am a dog lover, we did observe a young lady allow a dog to jump up her apron, she petted the small dog and returned to service without washing her hands. This did put me off, as it is basic hygiene.
