Welcome
A warm welcome and friendly atmosphere awaits you at this traditional Peak District Pub in the beautiful Derbyshire Dales. Set in 20 acres of countryside and occupying an elevated position you can enjoy panoramic views over the Peak District National Park from one of our two beer gardens , or cosy up to an open fire with the tipple of your choice during the colder winter months. As a country pub we of course welcome well behaved dogs and even muddy boots (we do have a boot scraper by the front door!)
Meals and Bar snacks are served daily from 12noon - 8.30pm. If you enjoy home-made food sourced locally then this is the place to be. Our two chefs produce some outstanding dishes at reasonable prices, with some of the produce now being grown on site. You can’t get much more local than that!
History
The Duke of York was originally a farmstead with part of the present building dating back to the 1400’s, and was part of the manor of Chelmorton. It became a Coaching Inn in 1618 and if the walls could speak we’re sure they would have many a tale to tell.
By the 18th/19th Century it was part of the Duke of Devonshire’s Estate (Chatsworth) but still being run as an Ale house/Coaching Inn with rooms for those travelling to take the waters at the Spa town of Buxton. A list of past landlords/landladies dating back to 1618 hangs on the wall in the lounge bar.
