A genuinely exciting addition to Glossop's High Street West, with a half-price happy hour on cocktails and oysters and a small plates menu that punches well above its weight — roasted carrots and pot-roast rabbit have both drawn rave reviews. Warm, characterful and already a firm local favourite for date nights. Open Wednesday to Saturday from noon.

About this area
Places to go, see and play
The dramatic Dinting railway viaduct frames the western approach to the Peak District above Glossop, with footpaths leading up onto the wild moorland of Bleaklow — one of the highest and most remote stretches of the Pennine Way. Serious walking boots recommended for the moorland sections; the viaduct itself is an impressive sight from the valley floor. Free to access, open year-round.
A lovely Victorian park on the edge of Glossop town centre with a boating lake, miniature railway on selected days, paddling pool and woodland walks rising towards open moorland. Free to enter, dog-friendly and open year-round — a pleasant extension to a market visit before heading into the Peak District.

There is a supplement for extra items but they dont reduce the price if you take things off which is the only downside. I took off the eggs and havin...”
