We were very satisfied with both the food and service. The food was delicious, especially the steak and ale pie which one of us had. It was full of tender steak with a rich gravy and a crisp flaky pastry case - the best pub pie to date! The other dishes we ordered - the fish and chips, vegetarian burger and fish pie were also very much enjoyed. We had a great evening and will be back!

Such lovely service, all your team were so friendly. Mum loved her gluten free fish and chips, only thing that could have been better was my falafel we're a bit over done but overall a great experience, would recommend and return.

We were meeting family in Bakewell and as it turned out the weather was dreadful, however, we arrived at the Pub early and were made most welcome. It was definitely a “bolt hole” from the wind and rain.

1st time in this pub and was amazed at how lovely it was inside. Lovely atmosphere and deco. Thank you to the lady that bought a balloon and decorated our table. That was really a nice touch. Hope to visit again. I do a lot of walking around this area and would love to come again. Thank you.

I could not have asked for more. All three staff that served us each night were so friendly and spent time chatting to us. Thank you so much

A warm welcome and a hearty breakfast at the Wheatsheaf, Bakewell. The second-year running that we have used the Wheatsheaf for our holiday Sunday breakfast. Dogs welcome and a roaring fire. What's not to like! A big tasty plate of breakfast fayre. My one wish, is that the Derbyshire oatcake came warm and not cold.

The staff were very friendly and it is a very clean pub. The atmosphere is very good too, my only issue was how long it took for our food to come out. We only had burger and chips and a pie and chips and it took 45 minutes, bearing in mind we was only the second table to be served as we ordered at 12 o clock. The food was nice but at around £16 for each meal it was a bit over priced in my opinion.

We visited on a bank holiday so expected was very busy. Wait time was 30-40 minutes which was fine. When the food arrived some of it was cold as it had been waiting for service Didn’t send it back as the wait would have been longer. Pity as the quality of the food was good. However not great value for money. Bit overpriced but guess it’s the going rate for a popular village pub. Plenty of room inside and pleasant serving staff.

My husband and I went for an amazing meal on Sunday evening, cannot praise the food enough, staff were a little confused that we had booked but food made up for the confusion. We were so happy we booked to go back, on arrival we were told the most popular dish (which we were looking forward to having again) was off the menu so had to reselect and chose the lasagne, no taste at all the chips were under cooked, the starter was completely different from the same starter we had a few nights before. We were so confused at 2 eating experiences being so completely different. Although the welcome was awkward on Sunday the food was out of this world. Hopefully just a blip

My friend ordered lasagne, it was soo dry she was unable to eat it. I had the meat and potato pie on the specials, again this was very dry but was saved by the gravy. I think it's great that kids eat free, we had three kids meals and they all enjoyed it. We were offered desert due to the dry lasagne and we all had one, each desert was very good. Staff were friendly and good but bar service was quite slow

I enjoyed the food at the pub and thought it was reasonable price I loved children ate free such a lovely idea. unfortunately they forgot our starter so bought everything out together which i didn't really want all at once they never asked us was this okay or how our food was I found a few of the staff quite blunt! It didn't feel very family friendly

Bar staff friendly. Selection of drinks good. Good overall good. We felt it frustrating to wait 1 hour from food order to food service having been told there was no issue to order earlier than our booked time. Had this time delay on service delivery been communicated, we would have been comfortable to wait patiently. To be told having already waited 45 minutes the reason for the delay was that the pies are cooked from fresh felt a very late explanation. Had this fact been explained at the point of ordering that would have been fine, or even indicated on the menu that certain dishes require longer cooking time. Our advice would be to just manage customer expectations to avoid disappointment. Overall fine time, but frustrating on meals delivery.

I was a little disappointed after eating at the sister pub, The Robin Hood in Baslow last year. We were meeting with old friends, which was the main reason for the occasion, so the food was secondary to the convenience of the location. However, our orders took well over 30 minutes to arrive. If there were staff shortages, I would not have minded being told and would understand. My steak and ale pie was satisfactory, but not memorable. The presentation could have been better, with the peas not scattered all over the plate. The staff, when present, were attentive. The policy of charging for the meal when ordering makes it hard to tip, because I do this after I have had a meal and enjoyed it.

Breakfasts we're OK but not spectacular. Great to see a variety of Gluten Free choices. The veg breakfast was a bit disappointing : everything was a bit dry (sausages, hash browns, mushroom and oatcake). I think they had been left to keep warm. Tea wasn't nice. Tasted like it hadn't had proper boiling water. Staff were friendly and attentive.
