  “Good solid Sunday lunch experience at the Wheatsheaf, as expected for a gastro pub. Good value at £25 for 3 courses, prompt service, good portions, plenty of tables and good car park. Vegetarian option wasn’t great, pretty tasteless and under cooked tart. But the rest was fine. Service lacking; no additional drinks offered and I had to ask for the table to be cleared. But overall a great experience and we will definitely re visit.”

  “Food was absolutely lovely and lots of choice, good gluten free menu. Service was great and staff are so friendly (Liv and Steph). Lovely interior and outdoor area for summer drinks too! The only thing I’d say is the gluten free burgers need a proper burger bun rather than just sliced white bread - the bread just falls apart straight away.”

  “The food was really poor quality. We ordered a pie which came with old and completely dried out vegetables, particularly the parsnips were awful. Same issues with the kids roast. The burger was really small and again of poor quality but the worst bit, served with coleslaw that had gone off. I mentioned this to the waitress when collecting the plates and I just got a ‘sorry about that, I’ll let the kitchen know’ I would’ve expected someone more senior to come and apologise and offer some form of compensation for serving gone off food. Really poor quality food but at the price of a quality pub. The only saving grace was that the garden was lovely so maybe only visit for a drink if you want to stop by!”

  “Food was very nice, just managed a 5 star. Wish I could have given it a 4.5 Drinks very expensive we are getting on for nearly £7 a pint for Guinness and why other pubs can do it for £5 or less. Why are pubs closing? The top has a good atmosphere on the plus side and a really nice garden.”

  “Mediocre meal but very friendly staff. We ordered our food , it came remarkably fast that tells you how it was cooked . The chips were supposed to be triple cooked,they were standard frozen chips . The table was sticky, the rest of the pub was nice . Reasonable value for money.”

  “Shown quickly to our table and ordered drinks. On arrival of the drinks we ordered our food. This arrived after about 10 minutes. We had the sirloin steak which was delicious. The staff were very pleasant and professional. Overall an excellent experience all round and great value for money with 40% off the main meals.”

  “Excellent service by Steph & Chloe, friendly ladies & helpful😊 Food is really nice and good value for money. This is our 3rd visit this year and we will probably be back again soon. It's always our go to place for food after a long walk in the Peak District or Chatsworth. The staff are really friendly and that's what makes it a pleasure to visit here 😊 Looking forward to our next visit!”

  “Chaotic from the start. Despite our reservation, we were met with a rude manager who directed us to a tiny, cramped table by the entrance. We had our dog with us, but there was barely enough room for him. Luckily, the group next to us left, so we moved to their larger table. The manager then told us we only had the table until 4:15 PM, contradicting our email confirmation for 4:30 PM. We felt rushed and had barely any time to eat. ​Our waitress was friendly, but a conversation overheard at the bar between the manager and a staff member was concerning. The manager insisted they continue serving Pepsi even though it was confirmed to be flat, which showed a disregard for customers. ​The food came out suspiciously fast. I ordered a steak pie, and my wife had a Sunday roast. Everything was cold except for the pie and gravy. My wife's meat was thin and anaemic, and the small amount of vegetables were shrivelled and cold. The meal was clearly microwaved, not fresh, and cost £34. ​When our waitress checked on us 15-20 minutes later, she saw our plates were still half full. We voiced our dissatisfaction, and she apologized. The manager then offered us a choice of a free dessert or a discount. We chose the latter and were given a 20% discount. ​Overall, the pub failed to meet our expectations. The website gave the impression of a traditional country pub with home-cooked food, but it felt more like a grotty, dirty canteen. This was one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We had a much better experience at another country pub just outside Castleton on the way home. ​Avoid the Wheatsheaf like the plague.”
