The Old Sun Inn is a 17th-century converted coaching inn with stone floor and oak panelling. The pub is the second oldest building in Buxton, with a vintage styled interior, working fireplace and beautiful outdoor drinking area.
Cosy, dog-friendly pub with excellent food and good selection of drinks including cocktails and beers. We came here for dinner on a foggy Friday at the end of October and it was so good we came back again for dinner the next day! The menu has the usual suspects: scampi, burgers, Mac and cheese, but also home made pies. We chose the cheese and onion pies which come with mushy peas (or garden if you prefer), chunky chips and gravy. The pies were perfect and proved to be a substantial dinner - just right after a foggy afternoon's walking. Our son in law went for the gammon and turkey pie and was equally impressed. The Mac and cheese with (and without) bacon was lovely and came with a good amount of salad and a couple of slices of delicious garlic bread. Our Saturday evening dinner was just as good. The beers are well kept and the espresso martinis (instead of coffees) were very good. Service was friendly (a bit slow on Friday) and helpful. Everywhere was clean and all of the dogs were well behaved. Our dinners were good value for money and we will return when next visiting Buxton.
Delicious vegetarian sunday roast. They were out of potatoes but our waiter Emma went above and beyond to give us an exceptional meal and more than made up for the missing roast potatoes. Superb service and lovely pub atmosphere. We had a wonderful time! 🫶
I wasn't quite sure what the etiquette was, so I didn't know if i should go to the bar or not. The staff were really lovely, tho. I just sat at a table and then caught attention from the lady as she was clearing another table. I had the pie and a pint for £18.95. The pie was amazing. It was massive, and the steak was all cooked beautifully. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
Absolutely delicious meal after a long walk in Buxton. We aren’t local so we asked someone local walking down the street for a recommendation of good pub food and she instantly said the The Old Sun Inn. Her expression told us this was the only place to try. We were not disappointed. We had the small fish & chips (not small by the way, very generous portion) which was beautifully cooked in crisp light batter and the chunky chips were fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. We also ordered the vegan chilli dog which was also very generous. Served in a lovely soft baguette. It was filled to the brim with delicious sausage and tasty chilli. We opted for pudding despite already being full but couldn’t resist. The lemon tart and trio or sorbets were also to die for. The staff working were very welcoming and accommodating. The allowed us to make a few tweaks and they made the visit all the more enjoyable. Will definitely go again if we’re ever back on the area. The perfect place to end a day of exploring Buxton & the surrounding area. Big thank you to the team working there on 21.08.23 at 17:30ish
Booked a last minute Sunday Lunch at The Old Sun Inn. Staff were friendly and attentive. Placed our order after a table of 10 and a 7 but there was no delay in the food arriving. Great quality food. Would recommend and go again!
