Seasonal Menu

A 16th-century country inn at the heart of Chinley, The Old Hall is full of character – think stone walls, roaring fires, and a proper village pub welcome. Whether you’re here for a pint, a Sunday roast, or a weekend escape in the Peaks, it’s the perfect place to eat, drink, and stay a while.

About Us

Something new is landing on our menus 👀
From 16–17 Jan, we’re rolling out an extended menu on Fridays & Saturdays, starting with comforting favourites—ramen, fried chicken, and prawn skewers.
January doesn’t have to be boring.

As we come to the end of another fantastic year, we’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our wonderful regulars and the many new faces who have visited us throughout the year. Your continued support truly means the world to us.

This year has been especially exciting with the opening of our new extension in September. The feedback we’ve received has been incredible, and we’re so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share their kind words and enthusiasm—it’s been amazing to see the space enjoyed exactly as we hoped.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to the entire Paper Mill team. Their hard work, dedication, and passion are what make everything possible, and we couldn’t do it without them.

As we head into the festive season, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. We look forward to welcoming you during the build-up to the New Year and into the year ahead.

And finally—don’t forget to join us for our New Year’s Eve party to celebrate the end of a great year and the start of another!
