These two well known
and well respected premises are in the heart of Buxton, and are well worth
seeking out for their friendly atmosphere and great value for money. Both are
owned and managed by Sue and Mike Jordan, who take a great pride in the two
places popularity and the down-to-earth, competitive prices they offer to locals
and visitors alike.
Café Nats is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm and 10am to 3pm on
Sunday (closed on bank holidays). Here you can
enjoy a drink, a snack or a full meal in
surroundings that marry the traditional with the contemporary. Everything from a drink
and light snack to a hearty meal is available. The Café is a member of the Peak Cuisine
Group, and booking is advisable in the evenings.
All the produce is sourced locally wherever possible. It also has five en suite rooms
on offer, and all are cosy and comfortable, and available all year round. This makes it
the perfect base from which to explore the Peak District National Park and the beautiful
county of Derbyshire as well.
The George stands close to the famous Buxton Opera House, and parts of it date back
to the 1600s. George Washington once stayed here, though the pub got its name from one of
the kings rather than from him. The interior is everything a traditional pub should be -
warm, welcoming and cosy. Traditional features such
as exposed stone, low ceilings and handsome, open fireplaces combine with modern standards
of service to create a pub that is well worth
seeking out.
It has six real ales on offer at any one time, most coming from micro-breweries, and they are ever changing, the regular is Pale Rider. So
make sure to visit more than once if you're a fan! The pub is also in the Good Beer Guide, and is
open all day and every day. It sells good, honest
English food that is immaculately cooked and
presented. During the week, at lunchtimes, it is served
until 3pm, and at weekends until 4pm. You can also
eat in the evenings by prior arrangement. At least twice a week there is regular live
entertainment, and you should ring for details.
This is a lively and cheerful pub that values tradition while still being committed to
modern standards. The regulars (and there are many
of them!) will offer you a very warm welcome. So come on in and enjoy a refreshing pint, or,
if you`re driving, a soft drink while chatting to
the locals. You won`t be disappointed!
