Almanac, Glossop

In the heart of Glossop, a new star has risen on the culinary map. Almanac, the second venture from The Pack Horse’s talented chef-owner Luke Payne, has quickly become the town's go-to neighbourhood restaurant and bar. 

Described by the Michelin Guide as a “terrific little neighbourhood spot,” it has already earned a Bib Gourmand award, a testament to its high-quality, great-value cooking.

The vibe at Almanac is relaxed and intimate, a place where you can settle in for an evening of inventive small plates, thoughtful cocktails, and a well-chosen glass of wine.

The menu is a showcase of modern British cooking, where quality local ingredients are transformed with creativity and technical skill. The Good Food Guide praises its “umami-rich British dishes laced with thoughtfulness and great technique,” highlighting the kitchen's ability to deliver deeply satisfying and cleverly balanced flavours.

What makes Almanac so exciting is that it brings the exceptional standard of a top-tier city restaurant to a cosy, local setting. It’s a story of passion and resilience, too, having navigated a forced rebrand just before opening.

Now firmly established, Almanac  is a shining example of the vibrant and evolving food scene in the High Peak, proving that world-class dining can be found right on your doorstep.
