Reviews Summary

Buxton Brewery Tap House is lauded for its exceptional beer selection and hearty, well-executed food, particularly its Sunday roasts and burgers. Reviewers frequently praise the friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. However, some guests have found the food underwhelming and the service less attentive during busy periods.

"We came for Sunday lunch today and it was epic. For starters we shared whitebait and a scotch egg with homemade brown sauce. Delicious. The roast beef was beautifully cooked and the roast potatoes crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the centre. Served with a selection of veg. The Yorkshire puddings were enormous. The portions are generous and we had to force ourselvesto share a sticky toffee pudding which was so light and tasty, it was worth the effort. The menu even gives you beer pairing suggestions. We will definitely be back"

Debbie Bennett

"Top place! Visited on a Friday lunchtime,no reservation was needed. A massive beer range both craft and cask,super friendly staff. The food on the lunch menu was very tasty and really good value. Perfect mix of quality food and quality beer. I would love to visit and try the full menu."

Phil White

"Had a great time at the Tap House while visiting Buxton. We stopped by for lunch and went with a couple of sharing plates. Food was great and the variety of beers is amazing. Decided to try the Deepdale, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Staff are also super kind and welcoming. Would definitely come back if we visit the region again."

A Roam Over To Buxton....

I walked around the corner and came to the Buxton Brewery tap, 53@Buxton Tap House. I walked in, and as my eyes were adjusting from the bright sunshine to the dimmer light inside my good mood was punctured by a rather rude lady. "Can I help? "Yes, I just want a pint". "Well, we're very busy, these people have just come in", gesturing vaguely to a group being served at the bar. "I'm in no rush". "Well, we have no spare seats". "I'm OK, I'll stand". "Well, can I get past then?.

24h in Buxton: Sights, Best Hotels, Restaurants....

Down a side street off the main road, the Buxton Brewery Tap House (George St) is housed within the Old Court House and dates back to the mid-1800s. Considering that Buxton is a sleepy provincial market town, this pub is the hub of the town’s nightlife, staying open until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. With over 18 beers on draft to choose from including home-brewed pale ale, Buxton SPA, there’s plenty to satisfy the taste buds of any would-be cask connoisseur.

Buxton Pubs – Jane Stuart – Writer

I remembered visiting the Buxton Brewery Tap House on my Hotpotting visit to Buxton so was keen to visit again today. I remembered Gatekeeper as my favourite beer from my recent visit to Harrogate, so I had no hesitation in ordering that here. This can list looked incredibly alluring (especially the pancake stacks) but there was no way I was asking about their imperial stouts on a pub crawl…
