Peak pub is really flying high

Diane and Philip Cone outside The Barrel Inn

The Barrel Inn at Bretton near Eyam stands at 1,300 feet above sea level and is run by husband and wife team Phillip and Diane Cone.

They revamped the Hope Valley pub and its kitchen to cater for an increase in meals being cooked, with several new staff.

Grant funding and free business advice from Derbyshire Dales District Council helped the project to go ahead.

“We are absolutely delighted with the results and look forward to welcoming many more customers in 2018”, said Phil.
