Anybody have any views on this place? Wondered whether its worth checking out for food and a few beers?

Its certainly off the beaten track - does it ever get busy?

Hi rip

I went last year and it did a really nice carvery. Not an outstanding, but a reasonable collection of beers.
It was quite busy when I was in there but not overly.
It is quite oldy-worldy inside. Nice for a pint and a pie!
But your car will take a battering on the roads trying to get there.

We called in for a drink a few weeks ago and decided to stay for a meal we really enjoyed it. Not too expensive and really nice food and service.

I haven't eaten there but the it's worth a trip for the beer. 3 or 4 handpumps on serving Bradfield Brewery beers and a couple of others (Sheffield Brewery too I seem to recall). Not bad to sit outside if the weather is decent, the beer garden could do with a little spruce up though. Interesting building, clearly part of the Stannington of old. Worth a visit.

I eat here quite often and the food is lovley, definatly worth a visit.

The last time I went in the Robin Hood was in 1966. Sounds like I ought to go back and have a meal there! We always called it "The Rock" - this was its original 1804 name, due to the cellars having been literally cut out of the rock.

Top place - well worth a trip.

Food not suitable for fussy kids that just want chips, otherwise visit it highly recommend it.

Yeah that's the only thing that dissappoints me, most Pubs at least do Scampi and chips, Robin Hood doesn't, not even when I really suck up to Keely! :(

I knew Rich would comment on this pub.!! (Keely you see isnt it ) :D

Yeah, I went about a week ago and the I was pleasantly surprised by the food. I expected generic pub food. And to an extent it is, but it's done to a good level. Good prices and lovely food. I liked the pub itself too. And the staff were friendly.

They have a website - www.robinhoodloxley.co.uk

I have very fond memories of the Robin Hood. I was at Loxley College (RIP) and we did extensive projects on the Sheffield Flood around Little Matlock, and our work was exhibited in the pub for the 140th anniversary. I have no idea what the food etc is like now, but the place has got great character and history. There is a steep cobbled path leading down to the river and Little Matock itself which is a lovely and dramatic stroll - with a monster climb back up the cliff again. Worth it though, so you can appreciate the beautiful setting.
