Staggeringly beautiful village not far from Manchester with a pub that serves the 'best' roast

Just one hour away from Manchester is a staggeringly beautiful Peak District pub serving the ‘best’ roast dinner in the area.

If you're planning your next weekend away, the Peak District is the ideal break from city life with its dramatic landscapes and quaint villages just waiting to be explored. Tideswell, a village in the heart of the White Peak, is the epitome of the UK's natural beauty. Its stunning scenery is owed to the gently rolling limestone plateau, making it the perfect spot for a staycation.

And to top it off, it’s also home to the Peak's ‘best’ Sunday roast. According to Google Reviews, the Merchants Yard - situated on St Johns Road in Tideswell - is hailed the number one place to get a roast dinner, with all the trimmings.

The restaurant prides itself on delivering a celebration of the best British produce, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to ensure a high-quality meal every time. With a 4.7 rating out of a possible 5 stars from 378 reviews on Google the restaurant has proven popular amongst tourists and locals alike, MyLondon reports .

One reviewer who visited last year wrote: "Genuinely the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Presented in a beautiful way and every part delicious. The puddings were unreal and the service was perfect."

For starters there are several options, including oak smoked salmon with crème fraiche, wild mushrooms on toast and, perhaps less traditionally, crispy chicken wings. For the main event, visitors can choose between beef, chicken, pork or nut roast to be carved fresh at the table and served with everyone's favourite part: the trimmings. The meals also come with sides of roast potatoes, homemade Yorkshire puddings, a selection of seasonal vegetables and of course, lashings of gravy.

If you still have room, it doesn't stop there, with indulgent desserts the sweet treat needed to finish the meal. The menu boasts options such as rhubarb crumble tartlet, chocolate ice cream sundae and vanilla crème brulee, or why not have a selection of three desserts with the Chef’s Assiette.
