Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in High Peak

"Bundobust is another one of these underdogs which is completely turning the concept of ‘fine cuisine’ entirely on its head. No longer does good food feel the need to be served on white table clothes on fine Bone China and washed down with a 2005 Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Nowhere teaches us this lesson better than Bundobust with its 100% vegetarian Indian street food served in paper trays, paper cups and with as much craft beer as you can pour down your gullet."

"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"A post shared by Albert’s Schloss (@albertsschloss) on Feb 22, 2020 at 12:00am PST. For crêpe lovers, Albert’s Schloss has you sorted this Tuesday. Available for one day only, tuck into their crêpes filled with house-made chocolate praline sauce and preserved blood orange slices, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

"Manchester's first Bavarian bier palace, cook haus and bakery is a cavernous space which sees Pilsner Urquell served straight from huge shiny tanks, while meat comes in the form of steak, schnitzel, curry or bratwurst."

"Housed inside the beautifully grand Principle hotel on Oxford Road, the Refuge is one of Manchester’s most stylish hangouts. The clientele ranges from touring rock stars to local fashion bloggers, all sipping on delicious cocktails and relaxing among the beautiful décor. If you want to really nail that Instagram shot, take a seat in the winter garden and ask your companion to photograph you beside one of the fairy-light lit trees."

"Those dreams of sharing a Roast Platter once more are just weeks away”. The Refuge is known throughout the city for its slap-up Sunday roasts, with the highlight undoubtedly being the ‘Roast Platter’, which lets you combine a choice of meats on offer with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off. A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"This huge bar in the city centre has a botanic-style garden that looks like it was made specifically for Instagram. Come here during the daytime and it will usually be quiet – ideal for that extra special photo. View this post on Instagram"

"Sunny days lounging on the Piccy House terrace, cocktail in hand and soundtracked by an outdoors DJ set may well seem like a lifetime ago. However, there’s no need to wallow in the past, dear reader, as their delightful suntrap has had a bit of a spruce-up and will be back in action as of 12th April. Joining them will be their sibling joint Public, who will be slinging out award-winning sups in a five-week pop-up stint."

"It’s not easily spotted from the road and is hidden behind inconspicuous doors; encouraging patrons to fall bravely into the basement of the old Picture House. The PHS boasts a beer and cocktail selection that must be one of the most extensive in the city. This isn’t the kind of place you just stumble on and that’s the beauty of it."

"If there's one thing you'll learn from this Abbeydale Road bar, it's that nothing goes better with pints than pizza and ping pong. Join them for some of the best craft brews in Sheffield, between rounds of table tennis and mouthfuls of Italian street eats."

"A post shared by MillerAndCarterManchester (@millerandcartermanchester) on Oct 14, 2016 at 4:11pm PDT. Miller and Carter is a hip steakhouse located in a former King Street bank. All of the steaks at are supplied from local Irish or British farms and are aged for at least 30 days before being served."

"The steak chain owned by pubco Mitchells & Butlers sells more than a million steaks a year – and even fans of indie operations might see the attra ..."

"Some of my favourite bars here are Tib Street Tavern, Lammars, Dry Bar and The Terrace. If you head towards the Town Hall and Albert Square, you will find numerous bars and restaurants that all offer great food and reasonably priced cocktails."

"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."

"The Roaches is located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir and is loved by hikers and climbers alike. The impressively rugged and steep gritstone ridge is home to mythical mermaids and 15 metre natural gritstone clefts."

"We spent a beautiful weekend in the Roaches and it is the best place for walking enthusiasts in the Peaks!. There are also some beautiful rock formations."

"The Trafford Ecology Park is tucked away in the industrial Trafford Park behind an oil depot and is a registered Biological Important site and a true oasis of wildlife. The park is spread across an area of eleven acres and is a true delight for a nature enthusiast."

"84 Plymouth Grove is known now as Elizabeth Gaskell's House, a small museum dedicated to Victorian literature and life. The Grade II listed neoclassical villa was once the residence of William and Elizabeth Gaskell, Manchester's most famous Victorian writer, and the rooms have been preserved to showcase her life. There is also a scenic garden, which has been planted to detail the sort of garden the Gaskells would have had back in the day."

"Elizabeth Gaskell’s House, 84 Plymouth Grove, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9LW - Visit now. Elizabeth Gaskell’s House has been lovingly restored; you can now sit at her desk, see where Charlotte Brontë hid behind the curtains, and have tea in the downstairs café."

"As one of Sheffield’s only grade I listed buildings, the Sheffield Cathedral in the city centre is indeed a building of special interest. The construction of a church on the site of the cathedral began in the 12th century, and the cathedral itself was slowly constructed over several centuries. Part of the church has stones dating back to the 13th century, while the lantern tower’s glass panes are examples of abstract art from the 1990s."

"Dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, Sheffield Cathedral stands on the site of a parish church founded in 1100. The new church, built in late-Gothic Perpendicular style, replaced it in the mid-15th century (only the choir and the tower remain, and the nave was built in the late 18th century). When Sheffield became the see of a bishop in 1914, plans were afoot to make the present nave the transept of a new and much larger church."

"All Saints Church dates back to 920 AD and occupies a prominent position high on the hillside. The church has both Norman and Saxon stonework but the main fabric of the building dates to the thirteenth century. In and around the church porch there are round 40 Anglo Saxon stones, the largest collection in the world, which were found during restoration work on the church in the 1840s and some ancient stone coffins."
