Ye Olde Nags Head

We only used the bar, so that’s all I can comment on. The first impression upon entering was absolutely stunning. It was 11 a.m., –3°C outside, and inside the fireplace was lit, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. The walls are decorated with an impressive collection of beer mats. There is a very large and extensive selection of alcoholic drinks. The staff were friendly and welcoming. In my opinion, this is a very atmospheric, old-style pub that is definitely worth visiting.

This place is amazing!! Were went to Castleton for a day out and went here for lunch. I had a turkey ciabatta (9.95) with stuffing, cranberries chips side salad. We also ordered grilled chicken (14.95)pepper sauce and chips. It was simply delicious and in this day and age was great value!! Simply must visit this place of your in area!!

We came on a busy Sunday hoping to get a table and were so lucky to get one. We had a large booth table near the bar. There is a great atmosphere and we weren't rushed at all despite people being turned away as it was so busy. Our food was delicious! I had the Beef Stew served in a giant yorkshire pudding - delicious! The desserts were lovely too. The beer mats all around the walls make a good talking point. This is exactly what a pub should be, a traditional old english vibe. We loved it. Will definitely be back when in the area again.

Came to Castleton yesterday for a lovely walk and my daughter and me were hungry so looking around we found Ye Olde Nags Head, we were welcomed with a smile at the bar and I was ask for a table, staff was very polite and said if I take a seat when ready to order come to bar with table number. I was so tempted to have fish and chips or pie but at the table next to use they were eating homemade pizza. Decided we ordered 2 with drinks, a little pricey but for the area on par with most other restaurants. The pizza's arrived so hot and were amazing for taste. I would definitely recommend

Imagine, if you will, the dynamic rolling hills of the Derbyshire Moore on a cold dreary November morning. The cold has seeped into your flesh, shivering so fast you could make butter from milk. And then you see across the road a sign saying "award winning Nag's Head Breakfast". A beacon for the last ship of the night. Hope as once again arisen in the West. The warmth of the hearth brings back, with the pains and pangs of beaten back frost, your limbs. You use them with much gusto as the delicious fayre is brought forth by a buoyant barmaid. The sausages and bacon, locally sourced, leave your hunger sated. Everything cooked with Northern pride. Mushrooms and black pudding; beans galore. Just a shame, we could have had two more. Best breakfast I have no doubt. Come here my friends, don't miss out.

We stayed at the Ye Olde Nags Head in Castleton, Peak District at the beginning of July and loved our stay here. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the room was perfect for what we needed. Lots of tea and coffee, bed was comfortable and shower facilities were good. We also had breakfast included on our stay and the food was incredible. High-quality produce, great variety to choose from and friendly staff. Located right in the heart of Castleton and they have parking included, which is a bonus. Would highly recommend!

After waiting 45 minutes for food, the award winning breakfast came out luke warm, and syrup was missing from my coffee. Milk was also missing from the tea. Overall for the price, I was very disappointed.

We spent a week at the Nag’s Head and highly recommend it. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, clean comfortable room and modern bathroom. The location was convenient for all of the local attractions. Excellent value for money.

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.
