Four cottages knocked into one during the 18th century, to create this unspoiled village pub named after a famous racehorse owned by the Duke of Devonshire. Set in the heart of this pretty village and near the historic Stanton Moor and Nine Ladies stone circle, and is popular with tourists, walkers and locals alike. Both rooms are welcoming with real fires, outside there is a pleasant beer garden. Good, homemade soups and snacks are available at lunchtime. The guest ales change regularly and are often from breweries in and around the area. Dogs are very welcome

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

The pub occupies a late 18th-century gritstone building with a 19th-century extension and its unusual name celebrates a famous racehouse owned by the 4th Duke of Devonshire of nearby Chatsworth House. The inner porch, with red quarry-tiled floor and ply-panelled dado, has an off-sales window. On the right is the very small snug bar with old bar-back shelves but a recent counter. The fireplace and settle/pew seating are probably 1930s. The lounge on the left was formerly two cottages and came into pub use around 1950. Apart from the fireplace, most fittings are from that era or a bit later. Outside, the initials WPT in the doorway lintels refer to William Paul Thornhill of Stanton Hall - the family still owns the pub.

General information about historic pub interiors

Late 18th-century gritstone building with a 19th-century extension. Note the initials WPT on lintels above doorways which refers to William Paul Thornhill of Stanton Hall - the pub is still owned by the Thornhill family / Stanton Estates. The inner porch with a red quarry tiled floor and a ply panelled dado has an off sales window. The very small snug bar on the right has old bar back shelves with a small till drawer, but the counter was replaced in the early 1990s. The small stone fireplace and settle/pew seating might date from the 1950s. The lounge on the left was originally two small cottages and brought into pub use, possibly in the 1950s (or earlier?). It has a ply panelled bar front with a Formica counter top. The bar back shelves look no older than 1960s work – note the till drawer attached to them. The bench seating is at least 50 years old and the modest fireplace in a stone wall is not that old. The name of the pub comes from a famous racehorse owned by the 4th Duke of Devonshire of nearby Chatsworth House.
