Ye Olde Nags Head

I had family come over from America for a long weekend and we choose to stay at the ye old nags head the place was everything my family wanted in a place to stay. The food was spot on the staff were fantastic and the selection of ales were good I would truly recommend the place to stay. The only one negative for me was the twin room the beds were not full size single beds and quilt cover wasn't in my opinion was not big enough and the pillows were shall we say flat I would say it could be an easy fix for little money new proper size single beds and bigger bedding and good quality pillows. But other then that issue I would return without a doubt and would recommend to people has a great base to stay and enjoy great hospitality from the staff and quality food and drink.

Very disappointed after reading the reviews for the Ye Old Nags Head . Awful dirty place and the breakfast was disgusting . I love Castleton and have stayed in quite a few places , Peak Hotel ( spot on) a few cottages near the Devils Arse , The George loved them all . This place is a big let down . Beds were uncomfortable, no hot water in my dads room , doors banging with other guests , I was so looking forward to breakfast after a great night at the Swiss Tsp house , the breakfast lady was miserable , served us cold tepid tea , ordered the Eggs Royale my family ordered Eggs Benedict , took ages to come out and when it did I’ve never seen anything like it , please see images . The chef should be embarrassed for what he served up , it was cold , swimming in Hollandaise sauce , the muffin wasn’t even toasted , the salmon and bacon were gross . We uprd and left and went for a bacon cob down the road . I would stay clear of this place much nicer establishments in Castleton. I didn’t raise anything with the breakfast lady I didn’t want to embarrass her in front of other guests . I use my feet to talk and will never stay here again .

Had a fantastic meal. Good price. Great food. Would definitely recommend the steak and ale pie. Tasted deliciously home made. And they are dog friendly!

Came for some pub grub on New Years Day, absolutely lovely! We will deffo be coming back. Thanks to the friendly bar staff who welcomed us & served us. We also had very friendly service from Sandra, who made us feel very comfortable. Food was gorgeous and perfect home cooked taste.

Celebrated my birthday here on nye. We were a party of 7 ordering separately but the staff ensured the meals came out together. We were served quickly and the meals were tasty. The pub soon filled up with those coming to see in the new year but we were still able to get drinks and keep our table.

Lovely room with a view of the castle. Staff super friendly and welcoming. Food absolutely spot on. Eating our dinner near an nice warm fire, fab at this time of year! Lovely breakfast service and perfect location.

Good value accommodation with friendly and helpful staff. The evening bar is a cosy place to eat and relax, with a roaring fire to complete the atmosphere (with a good music playlist). Good choice of excellent breakfast options with generous helpings. There is limited unallocated parking (for about 8 cars, first-come, first-served) off Back Street (which doesn't show up on Google maps!)

Wet n windy day. But everyone was out. We got there early... Car park soon filled up. Peveril. Treak. Blue John. Back into town. And a lady squeezed 6 of us in at the Nags Head. Great place to eat. Near the church. On the S bend as you enter... Sheffield side or leave Wynnats side ( just after the mini roundabout. Different meals all round. 2 kids with us. I opted for Sunday roast .. ( Fantastic. ) And a pudding .. ( of course!! ) Always a great meal at the Nags.

Echoing the comments of Johnny Q from 9+ years ago: Ye Olde Nags Head has a specialty in sausage & mash: 5 types of sausage, 4 types of mashed potatoes, 4 different sauces. Plus the option of a giant "bin lid" Yorkshire pudding for £1.50. It was stupendous, and the brownie with caramel sauce dessert afterwards was nearly as good. The rest of my family had Sunday Roast, which was also superb. Service was friendly and timely, and helpful with our questions. Ambiance varies at the Nag's Head from room to room; in the nearly-empty breakfast dining room in the corner of the building, it was a bit forlorn. Busier rooms near the heart of the action seemed cozier.

the best pizza! AND a locally crafted stout! life is good. We happened upon the pub walking through Castleton. What a great find.

The joys of a damn good British pub that serves damn good British food really are understated and on this occasion we were lucky to find a place that was homely and relaxed while also showcasing some decent beers and a damn fine pub grub menu. Shockingly due to being in the countryside (lack of internet and us only just starting to get this neck of the woods on the Yelp map), I had to use good old fashioned friend recommendations (my sister in law actually) to find this place - but it was a solid suggestion and one that I'd like to check out again. Their big thing is sausages which they serve in giant Yorkshire puds - with your choice of sausage, choice of mash and choice of gravy - phew, too many choices and on this occasion I wasn't up for a banger but 3 of our party had these and they looked pretty damn incredible! Being a pub lasagna fiend I was well after this and with a side of garlic bread I mopped up a lovely beef dish that was exactly what the doc ordered - and this like all the mains came in at under a tenner which is pretty good value as you could see that everything was clearly home made. Friendly staff, a good setting and in a village with quite a few food and drink options - it could be a good choice to stay here for a day or two if you're looking for holiday spots.

Can't believe this place has not been reviewed yet! It has an amazing selection of real ale and it was packed out for food. I never had any food but people were queuing to get in, they did not seem to take bookings. The menu looked extensive but the most popular things seemed to be bangers and mash with a twist. You get it pick you own mash (onion, mustard mash), own sausages (pork and tomato, pork and apple, pork and chorizo) and your own gravy (onion gravy etc). Looked very tasty. The inside was quite small but there were dining rooms upstairs but these were not open for some reason. They had a good selection of games as well. We attempted dominoes but then realise that neither of us knew how to play! The ales were all by Bradfield but there were about 7 hand pumps as with the amount of pump clips all over the pub, it looks like these change regularly.

The rooms did not have a shower (only a bath) and were quite small, however service was good and the breakfasts were lovely. The pub itself was warm and cosy with log fires. We had a Mother's Day lunch but the food was not great however my parents said it had been better recently. The pub is prime position in Castletown - I would head back for a drink due to the atmosphere but not food.

When 8 adults travel and dine together it's not unusual for at least one to have a disappointing experience. Not so however, at The Old Nags Head in Castleton Derbyshire England, where English food is at its best. Eight wonderful meals, great food, well prepared and served with a smile. Good beers too, with a selection worthy of any good English pub! The meals were HUGE, and well received by our party. Well done Nags head staff! Highly recommended.
