If you want a perfect sunday lunch this is the place to be! Highly recommend the beef and definitely need to book! Staff accommodating but some could do with being a little more attentive...not clearing plates/glasses in a timely manner, not asking if anymore food/drinks are required and slow with key items...such as serving food but not cutlery until 5 minutes after receiving the food. If these small tweaks were made it would make The Old Dog 10/10. Would not stop me returning though in the future!

Stopped in here after climbing Thorpe St Cloud and found a little table by the bar. Lots of tables reserved for lunch. Only had coffee and cake but the food menu looked delicious and wish we'd had time to try out some of the gins!

Stopped over in a motorhome. Great walks from the pub. Tissington trail or dovedale. Food fabulous. Good ales and cider. Very quiet night only motorhome there. Book first and enjoy a meal if planning to stay over. Definitely recommend.

We had an amazing lunch at The Old Dog today. The atmosphere was great from the minute we walked in. The lovely fires were lit and the Christmas music was playing. The team were so helpful with dietary requirements. We had the Christmas Dinner and it was DELICIOUS! Gluten free beer on tap and a gorgeous crumble to finish. If you could imagine the perfect pub- This would be it!

We stopped here for Sunday lunch after a lovely walk at Dovedale and before a long journey home. The pub was very busy with lots of very young children and dogs. The food was really good, but the service was very slow. The 'braised feather blade of beef' was absolutely delicious. The meat just fell apart and had taken on the red wine flavour. The rest of the plate was equally as good. Without hesitation I'd order that again. We had booked a table for 1:00pm and were prompt arriving. Our drinks order was quickly taken, and served - and we were promised that someone would shortly take our food order. The table had a second reserved sign for 2:30pm and so we were given 90mins for our lunch. When it got to 1:30pm and our order had still not been taken, we ordered our own food at the bar, and finally got our meals at 1:50pm - a full 50mins after arriving. Having learned, we ordered our own deserts at the bar, but by the time they'd arrived and been eaten it was 2:45pm. So our apologies to the next diners. If the pub wants to flip tables in 90mins then they really do need to get the food out onto the tables quickly. The pub has plenty of parking in two car parks, and also a large outside seating area which is partly covered.

Came for Sunday lunch after a walk round Dovedale. Lovely food and friendly staff.Was happy to know we cpuld bring our dogs inside with us and they even have a doggy menu!Also impressed with the human menu as it is hard to find vegetarian/vegan Sunday lunches in pubs.

Found this by chance when using a map to find a pub with food in the area staying for the night. I'm glad we found it and will visit again! Food was lovely, staff were very friendly and attentive to all, including a 2 Yr old. Colouring for the kids available also.Xmas decorations we classy and well thought through for a fun twist!Dined on a Thursday evening which was OK for getting a table, but they advise need to book, especially for weekends!

What a fantastic pub in the south peaks. Friendly staff and cosy vibe with lovely decor. The beef roast was incredible!! As were the desserts and even got a cute rabbit added to my Cappuccino. Hope to be back again in the future!
