The Cheshire Cheese Inn - Hope

Great authentic pub in an amazing location. beautiful courtyard with a rogue chicken!

Eating Sunday lunch here with friends all four of us opted for the roast dinner, three pork and one turkey. The meat was fine but the vegetables were overcooked, the portion of roast potatoes a little on the stingy side, the tiny dried-up ball of stuffing was barely recognisable, and the meagre portion of gravy in a boat arrived already weirdly gelatinous with white spots in it. Both meats were described as including piggies in blankets but the pork meals arrived without these on the plate. We politely mentioned to our server this was on the menu, she said the kitchen didn’t serve them with the pork, went away to talk to the kitchen and came back to confirm that.It took us fetching and pointing at a copy of the menu to finally – and it felt somewhat reluctantly – be given two bite-sized pieces of bacon-wrapped sausage each; not even one whole small one. No apologies for the error or thanks for bringing this to their attention. If it’s a menu error then cross it off.We overheard mention of a recent new chef in the kitchen and did wonder if this accounted for the marked change in food quality from a previous visit which I believe our friends had reviewed. In addition to the poor quality our meals were a little on the small side, and both men left a little hungry still. For the prices charged we expected more, and better.It’s a pity as this is a lovely cosy historic pub, dog friendly, with a small beer garden some of which is under cover.

Went here for dinner to see if the food was as good as the reviews say and I was not disappointed! The vegan cheese and onion pie was delicious highly recommend!!

We walked-in on a Sunday, which meant there was no indoor seating available, so reservations are probably a good idea for Sundays at the very least. However there's a nice outdoor area and the weather was nice.I appreciated the menu being detailed about the vegan options and having 5 of them. Vegan options can vary a lot in how they are made so knowing what I could be in for was nice.I ordered the plant based burger meal, which was nice but not amazing: the patty was good and similar to the plant-chef fridge patties done by tesco, but something about the everything else wasn't quite hitting the spot for me; the homemade chips were really good and the salad was crunchy with a lovely dressing.My partner ordered the vegan cheese and onion pie and wow. I had a bite and thought it was delicious I was quite impressed since vegan cheeses vary in taste and can be awkward to work with. I would definitely order it instead of the burger I'd got. Although I did find the gravy a little meh.

If you are looking for a traditional Englishpub to stay in you wont go far wrong choosing the Cheshire Cheese. We had a room for a weekend and it was great, good location for everything around Edale valley. Nice local beers and a fantastic breakfast and excellent hosts.
