We warmly welcome you to The Royal Oak, a charming country pub and the perfect base for exploring the delights of the southern Peak District.

The Royal Oak's open fires and hidden corners are a welcoming sight for all tired walkers craving a well earned pint, families on a day out in search of a friendly haven or 'Foodies' after some great homemade dishes. Proper food, generous portions and sensible prices are what make The Royal Oak so special.

We take great pride in offering a very traditional style of hospitality complete with cosy pub atmosphere, good company, cask-conditioned ales, a fine selection of wines and a menu of hearty English pub food. Open every day from 12 noon until 9pm means you can sit back and enjoy the unique atmosphere at 'The Oak' anytime.

For those who'd like to linger longer, the choice of camping accommodation is available.

The Royal Oak camping grounds are situated to the rear of the pub. The picturesque campsite has 20 pitches on two levels with direct access to the Tissington and High Peak Trail. Access to the camping field is via a standard five-bar gate. The campsite has a unisex toilet and shower block with inside and outside washing up facilities - please note there is no electric hook up or hard core standing.

Please note we do not allow motorhomes we only accept small camper-vans. Nothing larger than a VW camper will be admitted on to the site as we cannot guarantee access due to weather conditions. On bank holiday weekends we do have a minimum stay of 3 nights.

Great site, excellent staff

Murrells, Gemma - 12/04/2024

We stayed as part of a kids hiking group and had a really fun time. I’ve never camped before without electric and being so early in the season, it was very cold. The staff on campsite were fantastic, checked on us during the night while a storm was ongoing and checked again first thing in the morning. Toilet and shower block was clean, although I wasn’t sure the heating was on when I took my children to shower which is not ideal. The shower area is quite small and nowhere to put a bag or anything, only the hooks on the back of the door. Which is hard as a single parent when trying to shower two children in a small space (one of my children is often very upset by showers which didn’t help the experience). The site was very muddy, but that is due to the weather. The staff were very helpful when I tried to wash down our front mat and for that, I am very grateful. I can’t fault the staff at all. I would return to this site as it is well placed for what we done while there

A lovely spot. Great facilities and excellent staff.

The campsite was excellent, facilities spot on and simple/ clean. Incredibly helpful staff (Abby). She was absolutely brilliant and helped us set our new awning up in the wind! Really appreciated that! We went to the Royal Oak restaurant for dinner and were not too impressed. I ordered the belly pork at £20. This came with semolina mash which was surprisingly like a soup. I asked for it to be sorted and was brought belly pork with normal potato mash and veg. The veg was spinach. It felt like something was missing so I looked back at the menu and it should have come with pesto and pork glaze, but neither were on the plate. When I asked the waiter he said it should have come with gravy and then went to get me some, so I never saw the pesto or glaze! Didn't feel right for a £20 meal. Food aside, the waiting staff were all lovely and the pub had a great atmosphere.

2nd visit

We stayed over night in our camper. The Royal Oak were very quick to respond with email enquiries we had prior to visiting. We pitched in the car park area as the ground was so wet in the camping area (after prearranging this). We had a meal whilst we were there which was lovely. Staff were attentive and the place is dog friendly.
