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.

This is an old building with a very nice walled garden. Beams and pillars inside indicate there has been a radical remake, but they've still ended up with a large wall splitting the bar and making beer selection a little difficult as there is no blackboard listing the eight beers available (or not that I could see, anyway). The four hand pumps on the left of the wall had Phoenix Hopsack, Happy Valley Small & Mighty, Titanic Steerage and Marstons Burton Bitter. The latter also appeared on the right hand side, together with Titanic English Glory, Phoenix Spotland and Milestone Black Pearl. Real ciders were also available, presumably from polypins - there was a list of three on the end of the bar.
There's an emphasis on food as well as beer - our arrival coincided with that of Edwina Currie, the former politician, who kindly informed us that the pub was "highly recommended". We didn't try the food, so couldn't possibly comment on that. We did enjoy our beers though, before climbing back on our bikes to tackle the hill back to Edale. (The Paper Mill Inn across the road is in the same ownership but doesn't open until 5pm on weekdays - see website for full details.)
