Travelling by public transport? There are bus stops right outside, making The Charleston one of the easiest places to reach in the Peak District without a car.
Planning your visit
Dining bookings are usually seated upstairs in our restaurant space, where you’ll enjoy a full menu experience in the heart of the action.
Outdoor seating is weather dependent, if you’re happy to take your chances, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Our ground floor and outdoor tables are available on a walk-in basis and perfect for more relaxed drinks, light bites, or a spontaneous visit.
You’re always welcome at our bar! There’s no need to book if you’re simply popping in for a drink… or two. We keep plenty of space for walk-ins.
** Please let us know in advance if you require step-free or accessible seating, as the main restaurant area is upstairs.

We do, and they’re worth the trip. Our Sunday menu features a selection of classic roasting joints and a seasonal vegetable wellington, all served with trimmings done the Charleston way. Sunday roast sandwiches are also available for something a little different.
