Three Merry Lads Public House

A traditional country pub with cask ales, hearty pub classic meals and Sunday carvery. Warm log fires, snug corners, accessible for disabled customers, family-friendly and dog-friendly. Possibly one of the most beautiful views from a beer garden, sitting on the edge of the Peaks with fantastic walks straight out of the door. Kids playground and ample parking. Events and evening entertainment and free function room hire when eating or drinking with us. Under new management from December 2017 and family run - all welcome.

The pub dates back to 1836 and got its name from the Marsden family who named the pub after their sons.

    Hard to believe that I have been to the same place as that most recent review.

    I have been a number of times in the last 6 months and have never failed to receive courtesy and a decent meal. The food takes a while, which I don't mind if it means that it's freshly cooked, but tastes delicious with lovely presentation. Thanks.

    Awful experience. Waited 1 hour 30 minutes for food that did not arrive. When dared to ask what was happening, was met by a torrent of abuse by owners.

    In the local area they are well known for it apparently.

    Avoid this establishment at all costs.

  • Kevin Moore

    A decent pub on just-about all criteria. The food quality has improved a lot since the head chef bought out the previous landlord. There's usually 3 or 4 real ales on (some local brews e.g. Kelham Island).

    It's family-friendly without having the feel of being kid-dominated. Food-centred, but certainly not a dreaded 'gastropub'.

    There's often some unobtrusive live acoustic music on to accompany the diners. Nice ambience. Great views at the back and on the patio.

    All in all... 8.5 / 10.

    We went here after reading a review in Grapevine saying what a great place it was. Bad idea!

    It definitely wasn't 'home cooked', and the two of us who ordered from the Indian Buffet (all you can eat) were dismayed to find that in fact there was almost nothing left to eat. The staff weren't particularly apologetic or helpful about this, and the food we did get was very average formula pub-grub.

    Two pieces of advice. Don't eat here, and don't trust Grapevine reviews.
