Welcome to The Royal Oak at Wetton in the heart of the Peak District. We have been here since October 2018 working hard to give all our customers the very best experience.
We are set in the white peaks area of the Peak District National Park where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful walks in the English countryside. We are just a cock stride from Thor’s cave and minutes away from Buxton, Bakewell, Hulme End, Ecton, Ilam, Alstonfield, Dove Dale, Matlock and for the more adventurous less than 30 minutes drive from Alton Towers…
Our menus contains delicious real homemade dishes that have been specially prepared in our own kitchen for you to enjoy. Just perfect before, between or after a long walk. So if you are just visiting or staying in the area then pop in and you won’t be disappointed. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Lovely staff
Very obliging
Great food
Limited menu but a reasonable choice for everyone
Have been twice so far during our holiday and will be going again
It would be nice if they had a specials board for a bit more variety if visiting more than once
Business Response:
Thank you for your kind words, it has been a real pleasure looking after you. We take on board regarding more variety and will look into adding our special board back on. However, due to our very small kitchen sometimes it is difficult to add more choices on as everything is homemade in our own kitchen. Having said that we will be offering homemade beef chilli con carne on this evenings menu served with rice, nachos sour cream, guacamole & tomato salsa. (Veggie option also available) Hopefully we will see you again soon! Kindest regards Diane- Overall: 10/10

A very rustic pub with a very warm welcome. The people running this place were friendly and welcoming. They could not have done more to make our visit enjoyable. We thank you for our first festive lunch of the season, complete with tablecloth and Christmas crackers and the roaring fire. even the car park attendant was helpful advising of ice patches as it was a cold and rainy day on the roads.

Great country pub across from our digs.
Staff were friendly and although there had been a hiccup on the first evening, it was soon rectified.
My food was excellent, but one of my friend's veg dishes was not quite up to par.
A warm welcome after a long day walking - just what the doctor ordered!

Lovely Valentines evening meal.
Very welcoming immediately on walking through the door - nicely lit, cosy warm and friendly reception at the bar.
It’s also great to find a pub that serves both the Titanic Plum Porter and the Titanic Plum Gin.
Loved the black pudding fritter starter & the fillet steak and the sticky chocolate & pomegranate torte was delicious.
It was certainly well worth the 50 min drive from Derby to eat at this fantastic pub - we’ll be going back for sure.

Walking into a candlelit room with a fire burning in the corner and Christmas decorations everywhere made for a wonderful festive meal!

We went for a meal on the first night of our holiday at a nearby self catering cottage. We had forgotten to pack the milk so we also asked if we could buy a pint from the pub. Apparently it was a bit low so the barman went to his house and brought a pint from his fridge. How is that for service? Definitely 5 star.

What a wonderful warm welcome on a wet Wednesday lunchtime. We had lunch at the Royal Oak before a walk and all the staff were very welcoming and the pub had a very friendly atmosphere. I had a good scampi (can't say much more about a scampi) and my husband had the homemade hotpot which was highly recommended by the waitress. He was not disappointed, it was delicious. We would certainly return if in the area.

Food was amazing. My son and I had the Olives and Prawns to start , Steak and the Lasagne for main. Could not fault anything about the meal (steak was top class) service was fast and friendly, Would go back again on a heart beat. Only reason for 9's was the restaurant was very quiet when we were there. Thanks for looking after us so well!

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your meals, we take great pride in all our dishes and go out of our way to provide the best experience for all our guests. It’s lovely to hear such lovely words that you enjoyed our homemade lasagne and fresh Sirloin Steak. Regarding our restaurant being quiet, it was a weekday reservation and unfortunately we cannot control how busy we get during the week and solely depends on visitors to the area given our rural location. Given that we still commit to providing a service to visitors during these quieter times instead of closing. I feel your reason for a 9s is unfair. If our location was in a busy city and we were quiet then i can understand a 9s and your reasons would be justified. Weekends is our busiest times where we can serve hundreds of guests that have booked in advance. Advanced bookings allow us to prepare extra meals and bring in extra staff. which in turn allows us to absorb the quieter days. This weekend has been full on, where we have turned away a significant amount of walk-in guests as guests just don’t realise how busy we can get and so a review saying we were quiet discourages bookings and the risk of customers being disappointed as we can’t fit them in, due to limited stocks and staff.

We had just a main course as we were expecting a lavish B&B breakfast next morning. The main dishes were both home-cooked, delicious and honestly priced. Service was relaxed, warmly friendly and attentive but not intrusive. This is a very agreeable family-run establishment, well worth the detour. We wished we could have done more justice to the menu!

We found the Royal Oak very cosy
The menu had a good selection
Our meals were absolutely delicious
The owners are very friendly and welcoming.
Our grandson said the homemade chocolate fudge cake was the best he’s had (and he has tried a few).
I would definitely recommend it.

I really enjoyed the fish pie. My friend had roast beef dinner, and commented that he would have liked more beef (he had two thin slices). He also didn’t like the veg, as the carrots were al dente, but I like my veg a bit crunchy. Overall it was really nice.

Lovely little place. Went to have a beef roast but they had sold out. Had Ribeye instead (with all the 'trimmings '). It was one of the best steaks I have had. Asked for rare and it was cooked to perfection. My wife is a vegetarian and the veg loaf was excellent as well. Beer great and lovely dessert.
Highly recommend.

We've been here twice over the summer while camping nearby, nice quiet place to eat outside in the week. There was a mix up with my order so they cooked me a whole new meal from scratch! Genuine home cooked food, very polite waitress and good service all round (sorry the chef had to work late!).

Really good visit to the pub. Service a bit slow but understandable as it has been a while since it was open so pub having to find new ways of looking after the customer because of the pandemic. Can't wait to visit again as the food was good and staff friendly.
