For Father’s Day on Sunday 16 June 2019, we put together ideas for spending the day in Buxton.
1. Enjoy a locally brewed pint together
The 2019 guide suggested the Buxton Tap House, Cheshire Cheese, Old Sun Inn and RedWillow for drinks, as well as Sunday lunch in town.
2. Sunday lunch carvery at The Railway @ Buxton
The 2019 guide recommended the Railway’s carvery and described its railway-themed décor. CAMRA records that Joseph Holt took over and refurbished the pub in 2017. See the pub’s current information for menus.

3. Enjoy some local history together with Discover Buxton
In 2019, Discover Buxton offered a town tour on a converted milk float. The tram left Buxton in 2023. See Discover Buxton for current private heritage experiences.
4. Have a go at golf at Buxton & High Peak Golf Club
The 2019 guide suggested a round of golf and mentioned a Sunday carvery. The club welcomes visitors; see its visitor information for current arrangements and contact it about catering.

5. A 2019 Father’s Day hotel lunch
The original guide advertised a three-course hotel lunch for £25 in 2019, with reductions for children. Its heading named Dub Grub, while the description referred to a hotel, so the venue is unclear.
6. Go for a Thai meal at Simply Thai
The 2019 guide suggested Simply Thai and mentioned gluten-free and vegetarian dishes. See the restaurant’s current menu and discuss dietary requirements when booking.
7. Enjoy a walk in the Pavilion Gardens
Pavilion Gardens and Serpentine Walk provide paths for a stroll. High Peak Borough Council asks visitors not to feed the birds.
