Our story
About us
We moved in to The Grouse Inn in November 2024 - and we couldn't be happier to be here!
Right here on the A6 in Darley Dale, we think The Grouse Inn is the perfect pit stop and gathering place for locals, explorers, bikers and anyone who appreciates a warm pub welcome.
Just 3 miles from Matlock and a short hop to Bakewell, we’re a cozy haven for those heading into (or returning from) the breathtaking Peak District.
Pop in for a pint, stay for a meal, and make yourself at home.
