What an end to 2025 we had, a Sunday Times review, inclusion in the Good Food guide, and the Michelin Guide 2025.

We are back from our winter break, so, let’s start the year off right with a lot of exciting events coming up this year, we can’t wait to see you!

“This is a triumph of a restaurant” - Charlotte Ivers, Sunday Times restaurant critic

“What I’m saying here is that Almanac feels incredibly chic. There are restaurateurs in city centres paying consultants thousands to try to replicate something like this. Here, it seems completely natural.”

“Model of a neighbourhood restaurant” - The Good Food Guide 2025

“Although the restaurant itself had to undertake a hasty rebrand not long before opening, the significant name at Almanac is that of chef-proprietor Luke Payne, established five miles down the road at his Pack Horse pub in Hayfield. Here in Glossop, he's built a positive, capable team with a palpable enthusiasm for feeding people well, while cutting no corners. Above a cosy bar, behind café curtains, a simple dining room serves umami-rich British dishes laced with thoughtfulness and great technique.”

“What a terrific little neighbourhood spot this is.” - Michelin Guide 2025

“A bar and restaurant rolled into one, start your visit with a drink from the concise yet quality wine list or classics-with-a-twist cocktail selection. Then turn your attention to the menu of small plates that showcase the kitchen’s unashamedly traditional approach with the likes of mince on dripping toast.”
