Welcome to

The Stepping Stones

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to The Stepping Stones a family-friendly restaurant-style pub serving a carefully selected menu of British classics. Our interior is traditionally styled yet light and open, and outside you’ll find a beautiful garden complete with patio and children’s play area. The Peak District National Park is just a few kilometres away, making us the perfect place to refuel after a morning’s walking or a day out at Bakewell or Matlock. We’re also a real ale pub, serving cask ales alongside our selection of premium draught products, wines, spirits and soft drinks.
