Soo. I have a big birthday this coming week and I'm off out with Mrs Beagle, mini Beag and my folks for the day, Thursday and looking to eat about 5pm.

We all really like Sutton Hall in Macc for its real ale and food selection as an idea. Ideally looking for something between Hayfield over to Sheffield. Doesn't have to be a pub either - Indian or Thai is good too, but 5pm may be a problem.

Any suggestions of where to eat would be awesome! We are thinking of a wee walk round Eyam during the day and maybe finding some animals for mini Beags to see if that helps...

Cheers All.

The Fox House just outside of Hathersage always seems to get good reviews. I've not been other than for a cheeky post ride pint (ages ago)

Old Hall in Whitehough, near Chinley is good for food and beer and very friendly. Don't know what time they serve from though. On the animal front, the Chesnut Centre - part way up the main road towards Rushup Edge from Chapel has an impressive mix of owls and otters.

I'm sure there's decent food somewhere around Castelton/Hope but I'm a little out of touch with what's currently good there.

I believe the Scotsman's Pack in Hathersage do good food. The Bull's Head in Foolow is nice but opens in the evening at 6:30.

Fox house is good, good food and beer, but park your car as close to the pub as possible and don't leave ANYTHING on display...

Cheers All. Will post an update next week. Old Hall in has been on the radar for a bit, so give that a try after having a look at the others on line.

Been past Fox House lots and thought it looked nice.

Anyone been to Cricket Inn near Dore? Or the wee farm at Whirlow?

I'll be the first to say that I really don't rate the Fox House, or the Dore Moor (same "Vintage Inns" ownership) Nice buildings, average food.

Cricket Inn is decent, gets busy at obvious times.

Broadfield further into town has the best pub grub imho. 5pm won't be a trouble there I don't think.

Another vote here for 'The Old Hall' near Chinley.

Agreed, chain pubs in disguise. The food is nice but not "special".

Just had our wedding reception at the Old Hall Inn - they did us a fantastic BBQ and the staff were all excellent

Conversely I don't really rate Sutton Hall...

Good to see a mention for the Chequers. I took my parents there for dinner after graduating many,many years ago. It was excellent but I haven't been back since. I may have to rectify that.

Brilliant. Big thanks to all. Definitely making the trip to Old Hall Inn - whether it's with the whole gang this week, we'll see. That'll be good for a night with Mrs B as it's fairly close by! 😀
