I cannot recommend this for people with children.

Terrible service, understaffed, overpriced, loud people shouting expletives and the food order never arrived. This place is for young drinkers.

I came following a walk with my 14 year old daughter in the nearby countryside because she said that she would like some food and a drink, so we waited 20 minutes whilst the one person working the bar serverd just three couples ahead of us.

I doubled our drinks because I didn't want to come back to the bar to wait again. The barman asked where we were sat and I explained to him that I didn't know because I was there with only my 14 year old daughter and I didn't want to leave her alone at a table whilst I waited in the queue, but explained that I would come back and let him know the table number once we found one. This is reason one why you shouldn't being kids here. Clearly not catering for single parents with a child.

We bought four j20's and a couple of bowls of chips but the bar man did not put the food order through, but didn't make this clear and I thought he had (on account of the price). I went outside, found the only available table then returned to the bar to let them know the number.

The barman explain that he had not taken the order and another girl said she would take the order, but then continued to make drinks for another ten minutes before doing so and taking further payment (they're good at taking payment). As expected, when I returned to the take my daughter mood was one of anxiety at being left in a loud place full of shoulting young adults, but I asked her to be patient and we drank whilst I tried to calm her nerves.

An hour later, no food had arrived and so we left, having paid £23 for two soft drinks, two wasted soft drinks, no food, and a miserable time. I didn't ask for any refund or complain to the staff because there was still a huge queue at the bar and I doubt the staff would have cared much.

I don't totally blame the staff, as in my experiance, unhelpful staff usually just hate their bad job. They're are probably so useless because they are over-worked given there were only a few there on a busy early evening.

This isn't the pub it once was. It's now a late teen/early 20's drinking hole now with lots of shouting and obcenities.

It's not the worst place I have been to but it is down there as a place I don't want to go to again. If you have children or are looking for somewhere to eat and drink after a walk, then I think you shouldn't either.

BTW: The view isn't as good as some reviews indicate. There are plenty better and prettier locations in the peaks, without rubbish strewn everywhere, and where you might actually get served.

I bought some kebabs on the way home and we really enjoyed them. I wish I had thought of that in the first place.
