About Us

Warmest of Welcomes

​We warmly welcome you to the Royal Oak, a charming country pub nestled just off the A515 near the small village of Hurdlow and the perfect base for exploring the delights of the southern Peak District.

Our open fires and hidden corners are a welcoming sight for all tired walkers craving a well-earned pint, families on a day out looking for a friendly haven or 'Foodies' after some delicious homemade dishes. Rustic decor gives the pub an inviting and homely feel true to the old country pub nature. We take great pride in offering a friendly, traditional style of hospitality complete with a cosy pub atmosphere, good company, a great selection of local and regional ales and lagers, a fine selection of wines, and a menu of hearty English pub food. Proper food, generous portions and sensible prices are what make The Royal Oak so special.

Step outside to the large beer garden, complete with undercover seating area for when the inevitable Peak District weather hits, or venture beyond the pubs grounds and onto the High Peak and Tissington trails which are right on our doorstep.

For those who would like to linger longer our beautiful campsite is a great base for exploring the Peaks. Surrounded by the exquisite countryside and which the lovely towns of Buxton and Bakewell nearby, there is loads to do and see and with spacious pitches, good facilities and our great pub on site, what more could you need?
