Fodor's Expert Review Columbine
$$$
Buxton
Modern British
In a town blessed with good cafés but few noteworthy restaurants, this option run by a husband-and-wife team has a somewhat old-fashioned feel but stands out for its fine use of local ingredients, including High Peak lamb and beef, in the inventive cuisine. The cozy venue, with upstairs and downstairs cellar seating, is especially good for pre- and post-theater meals.
