The Rambler Inn

The place to be in that part of the peak district.
The village of Edale amounts to a few houses, lots of campings, and hoards of sheep. However, that pub stands out as a great mansion, with a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Overall, the drinks are more expensive than you would expect for such an isolated area. Blame it on the tourists, or on the tricky logistics !
The food is good. Our orders were also messed up, as I received a lamb burger with coleslaw, which I didn’t want, and it came before the soup we took for starters… The burger lacked some taste, though… The potato mash was very rich and velvety, which suited the beef and ale pie perfectly. The carrot and coriander soup was also a great start to our dinner…
The best moment? Getting the last rays of sunlight in the huge garden, while reading books on one of their round tables.

You know you are in for a warm welcome when the pub has a sign outside saying ‘families, dogs and muddy boots welcome’.
A good selection of beers on offer, including the Ginger Marble Ale, which is what I chose to accompany my roast dinner. The meat was a bit fatty, but the portion size was decent enough and arrived on our table just as our feet were warming up from our walk in the Peak District. There was a full menu of what I like to call ‘proper food’ aswell as snacks and sandwiches and what quite a few vegetarian dishes too.
Small carpark out front, but with the Inn being situated next door to the Hope Railway station, there is ample parking close by.
