Off to Buxton in the Peaks this weekend, looking for family friendly pubs that do good food and ale, so over to the hive mind, what would you recommend?

Never been! However, when faced with similar problems in the past the CAMRA app has proven invaluable. 😀

Actually, just thought, and with the "family friendly" aspect, the Royal Oak as mentioned above is a good shout and is only about a mile or so from [url= http://www.thebullsheadmonyash.co.uk/ ]here[/url] which is great for littleuns if the weather is good

+1 for the Old Hall Inn. Great food, really friendly staff, nice beer, easy access to good riding. Quite happy to let mountain bikers dry their steaming wet socks in front of an open fire, don't ask how I know etc...

Another vote for 'The Old Hall Inn' in Whitehough (lovely little hamlet on outskirts of Chinley).
The garden at the rear is great to sit out in if the weathers nice, plus you also have the option of there other pub 'The Paper Mill' across the road.

Royal Oak is also on the High Peak Trail - give or take 50 yards - 2 flat miles from the Parsley Hay car park/cycle hire centre.

We like http://www.valeinn.co.uk/about.htm The Vale Inn.
It's situated very close to 'The Middlewood Way' in Bollington (Just outside Macclesfield).

Also recommend the 'Old Hall Inn', Chinley.

The Royal Oak as above.

Very few boxes it doesn't tick.

Also the Bulls Head at Ashford in the Water.

Old-hall is my local. They do a great t-bone steak and the best cheese board ever!

Another vote for the Royal Oak at Hurdlow also the Bulls Head at Monyash is ok. The Royal Oak would be my first choice though

this weekend (Sunday to be precise) the [url=

Van Chinley[/url] is running from the Old Hall Inn at Whitehough, and they'll be showing the Paris-Roubaix on a big screen in the Paper Mill. I think the Ronde is full but you never know, there might be some no-shows on the day

Went to the Old Hall last weekend but it was under some sort of renovation so everything was done from the pub next door (the Papermill). Well worth a look but I'd check whats happening before you go - its likely to be busy.

The Lamb just up the road towards Hayfield is superb on a hot day too.

As for Buxton itself, don't bother!
