This is a delightful place having a nice style of decor, well laid out tables with comfy seats or armchairs/sofas as per your choice.
The bar is quite intimate and you do get a few people who like to sit, chat and oh yes drink!
The food is really delicious, we've tried the sharing meat board twice now and it is quite enough for two people.
If you wish a good lunch or afternoon food it is best to get there early as they tend to fill up quite quickly after 12 midday.
I also visited for coffee with my brother and his pooch, nice and relaxed.
They do accept reservations.

This was our first visit & for an "out of towner" I have to say I was suitably impressed. A very trendy bar with an impressive selection of beers, both on cask & keg. We didn't try the food but there were a few who did and whilst it's difficult to judge by looks alone, it was well presented & smelt good! The empy plates reinforced that too. The only downside I could see was the price, it wasn't the cheapest, but to coin & old phrase "you get what you pay for"? Personally I was there for the beers & there were 3 casked on offer, Beartown, best bitter, Wincle beer co, Life of Riley IPA, Thornbridge, Jaipur* (im told 4 in summer) & a good selection of craft & pilsner style beers on keg, including Blue Moon wheat beer. Both the Jaipur & the Life of Riley were in excellent condition. I didn't try the Beartown. Overall this was a superb bar, the service was excellent & the cleanliness equally so. The toilets, athough quite small, were also clean & tidy. A great assest for Buxton, we'll be back & maybe next time we'll sample the food. Recommended
Hadn't been since it's was renamed but will be back! Delicious Med Veggie Tart with the best chips and nice salad. Didn't have to wait long. We went before our showing at the opera house so around 6pm & it wasn't busy.
The staff were great and made space in their busy restaurant for our family of four. We popped in here on our way up to Mam Tor and thought it would be handy to get the children fed before dragging them up a hill/mountain.
Emily and I had an open sandwich each, and the children had chicken and chips from the kid’s menu. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, it was very nice. We would definitely come again.
A lovely meal for Sunday lunch as a birthday celebration! Would definitely come back if we go back to Buxton. Had a lovely atmosphere, great cocktails and food. Very reasonably priced for great portions!
Had lunch here on the last 2 times we've visited Buxton (Sept & Oct).
1st, shown in photos, midweek was a sharing platter. Excellent although in hindsight should have asked for chips with it (vs "Parmentier" potatoe rocks).
2nd was Sun lunch. Beef was superb in both quality and quantity. All the usual veg. I had the larger portion my wife the smaller. Both cleared our plates on an ideal blow-out.
Good beer and cider drunk on both visits.
Hands down the best Sandwich I have ever eaten! Super friendly staff, lovely decor, and excellent food.
I have visited Buxton twice now and twice I have found myself in Lubens. Had to go back the second time. If I visit again, I will return. Very friendly atmosphere. Staff knowledgeable. Good variety of Ale, Lagers etc. Food menu caterers for most needs. Specials have been nice both times. Prices are reasonable. A little gem.
Pork Burger was nice.
Had a great time here having some Sunday lunch, the food was very nice, especially the fudge cake with a layer of caramel, which was a particular delight 👌the young lad that waited our table towards the end was very charming and had a great personality, but all the staff were very nice to be fair!
Reasonably busy and a great selection of drinks to choose from. Will definitely be back, many thanks!
Great place. THE best Sunday lunch. Its a rarity that everything works; atmosphere, food quality, service.
