The Robin Hood Inn - Bakewell

Ate here with my wife and two children (baby and toddler) and was welcomed as soon as we arrived.

Server/barman was very nice and was brilliant with our daughter, clearly a very good father himself. He performed well at his role throughout our visit and seen to all our needs.

Our food was faultless, major compliments to the chef!! We had the pie of the day (steak and ale) and the lamb stew, both of which were so tasty; both meats (steak and lamb) were tender and juicy. There was plenty of meat in both meals accompanied by perfectly cooked vegetables and creamy mash. The pie casing/pastry was lovely too, crunchy but soft if that makes sense. We also ordered a side of thick cut chips to appease our daughter, they were lovely thick homemade chips- I wish I had more room in me to finish them.

We did see other tables eating the fish finger sandwich which looked substantial and tasty, I could've easily ordered that too!

We struggled to eat at the same time due to having two very young children (our son required bottle feeding) but the server quickly came over and offered to put my food under the hot lamp until my wife had finished hers; this allowed me to then enjoy my food hot- thankyou for this, greatly appreciated.

All round great atmosphere and a warm welcoming venue.

We shall definitely be back again to try the rest of the menu! We look forwards to seeing you guys again; thankyou 🙂

My uncle and I have eaten here a few times now, after being out in the Peak District for a walk. The service is always friendly and we always feel well looked after. The food is excellent and keeps gets better each time. Portion sizes are perfect and are always satisfying. As a coeliac they cater for my dietary requirements far better than most other places I've been to, and there are plenty of options on the menu. There's no leaving the gluten containing items off the plate without replacing it for something else going on here! This has to be my new favourite pub in the Peak.

Great place friendly staff warm welcoming decor food was very nice too , we only had the burger but it was a large 100% beef patty with salad garnish & skin on fries cooked to perfection X some of the best fries I have ever had & the burger was very tasty well worth popping in if you're in the area.

A lovely pub and nice food, my one 'complaint' would be the standard menu mains which are very burger-heavy. We would've been disappointed if we had not been there on a Sunday for roast dinners, which were lovely. Lemon posset is amazing!

A dire experience I'm afraid. Ordered walnut, beetroot and feta starter but instead of walnuts the chef had imaginatively substituted sweet honeycomb! They do look a little similar i suppose. I had ordered steak burger for main , my partner the steak and fries. Just about the worst burger I've ever tasted ( and I've eaten a lot). The steak would have been more use to a cobbler. Soggy chips and 2 day old coleslaw accompanied .We both ate a small amount and gave the rest to our delighted dogs. Walked back up Gardoms Edge hungry and feeling ripped off. Actually sent an email to the pub when we got home but they haven't bothered to reply. I can think of much better ways to waste 40 quid. We waited over an hour for that to make it worse

Have eaten here every night on our 3 night stay at the B&B next door. Great food and great service. Just what we needed after a busy day exploring the Peak District. Dog and children friendly too which made it super easy. Thanks to all the team who made our visits great. Would recommend and visit again.👍

Stopped by on impulse at lunchtime. Excellent choice. Service was friendly and helpful and food was a treat.

Cheeseburger had two patties, beanburger was subtly flavoured with cumin. Each was topped with cheese and accompanied by deliciously crisp fries, onion rings in an airy, crunchy batter, and a gloriously mustardy, not too oniony, red cabbage coleslaw. The lettuce and tomato were equally fresh and the brioche buns were more than generous.

There are a number of 'walks from the door' of the pub, of varying lengths. I'd recommend you do the walk first and refuel here afterwards; would be an effort to haul this lot up a hill with me! Definitely won't be needing dinner - and I couldn't even manage the bottom half of my brioche. Heartily recommend.

Lovely australien staff, great food, super tasty sides, plenty of vegan options. Glad we stopped after a walk to Chatsworth house through the park and back to Baslow. We'll definitely be back
