Old Hall Inn, High Peak

Having made our way from the station through a heavy shower, we spent a couple of minutes hanging up our sodden jackets in the entrance before approaching the bar. Or rather, the two sections of the bar, since not much has changed since my visit in 2014. A beer festival bar had been set up adjacent to the entrance, but we were a day or two early and confined ourselves to the two banks of four hand pumps. We enjoyed the beers we tried, and also had a taster pressed upon us (a very pale Abbeydale citrus ale, which was not to my taste). The smell of cooking was a little jarring for my taste buds, but I won't let that put me off possible future visits.
