Stefan and Emma are the owners and operators of High Peak Wine & Beer Company in Castleton, and the soon to open Hope Valley Tap & Bottle in Hope. With a background rooted firmly in independent drinks retail, their approach is built on experience, relationships, and a genuine love of well-made wine, beer, and whisky.
High Peak Wine & Beer Co was founded in 2016, originally as a mobile bar business launched just two days after the birth of their first child. From the outset, the aim was clear: to create a business with full creative freedom, direct relationships with local suppliers, and a focus on quality rather than trend. That ambition led to the opening of the company’s first retail shop in Chapel-en-le-Frith in October 2020, with a strong emphasis on local producers, independent importers, and a carefully curated range, particularly whisky. In April 2023, the business moved to Castleton, placing High Peak Wine & Beer Co firmly at the heart of the Peak District community.
As the business has evolved, so too have Stefan’s personal interests, with an increasing focus on whisky. This has shaped the direction of the Castleton shop, which now stocks an extensive specialist whisky range. Much of the selection is made up of limited-edition bottlings and small-batch releases, many of which are unavailable to the mass market, reflecting a continued commitment to quality, character, and independent producers.
Hope Valley Tap & Bottle intends to follow the same formula over two floors with retail at ground level and seating to drink in on the first floor. Draught take away will also be available to service the local campsites with growler refills to compliment the already extensive retail options.
4 keg lines are planned to begin with to feature local High Peak and Hope Valley breweries such as Torrside, Intrepid, Buxton and many other smaller breweries not seen in the larger pubs of the Peak District. There is further scope for cask and more extensive drink in features as the business develops and responds to customer demand from the local population and visitor economy. Wines will be available by the glass as will many local spirits and whiskies. Corkage by the bottle will also be an option on select beers and wines from the retail range, giving us arguably the most interesting wine and beer list in the Peak District.
It is anticipated the Tap & Bottle venue will open in Hope in July.
The Tram Stop micropub, to be located at the outbound Hillsborough Park tram stop, now has planning permission and a premises licence. This project will see the Pro Property shop converted into a bar. It is expected to open mid July, in time for Tramlines festival.
The Pig & Whistle micropub at Gleadless Townend has expanded its repertoire further and is now opening from 9am every day of the week serving coffee and cake. Drinks from the bar are available from 11am and coffee service ends at 4pm, with the bar remaining open until 10pm (11pm Friday and Saturday). A range of craft beers is available across cask, keg and can. A programme of events is also advertised including live entertainment and pop up food traders – check their social media accounts for details.
Samuel Smiths Brewery have made their recruitment efforts to get live in management couples to reopen some of their pubs not currently trading a bit more prominent with blue banners on the front of the pubs, including the Old Mother Redcap in Bradway, which has been closed for nearly a decade now.
Meanwhile elsewhere Samuel Smith are selling some of their pubs off, which is something we’ve not seen in a long time, this includes the Travellers Rest in Oughtibridge.
Not to forget of course we do still have some that are open and successful such as the Brown Bear in Sheffield City Centre!
The Royal Hotel in Woodhouse closed on 10 May for a refurbishment and is expected to reopen mid June. The pub is leased from Heineken’s Star Pub Company and the new look will feature sports on TV and a games room with more community events also planned.

The refurbishment work at the Mount Pleasant Inn at Norton Lees took a little longer than expected but the pub finally reopened on 11 May.
There was a leaving do at the Millhouses on 24 April with the management of the last seven years moving on. The pub is leased from Stonegate Pub Company.
The management of the Anvil at Stannington are moving on after less than two years and the lease is available again. It is owned by Stonegate Pub Company.
The former Southpaw boxing gym at Shalesmoor is to be converted into a retro video games arcade bar. It will be run by the same people as Retrodome in Barnsley and will charge an entry fee, once in all the games will be free to play.
The Norfolk Arms in Grenoside, which has been closed for 6 years, has building work well underway with a new extension and other alterations along with smartening up the existing exterior.
The Devonshire Arms in Dore and the Castle Inn at Bradway are hoping to go free of tie on their cask lines soon (the pubs are leased from Stonegate Pub Company) which will allow them to order direct from local breweries and offer more variety in their guest ale rotation – watch this space! Both pubs currently have a regular quiz night and occasional live music. The Castle Inn also does food.
Eyam Brewery Tap & Shop in Tideswell has now been granted its premises licence and continues to open every weekend with the bar offering a range of their cask and keg beers to drink in plus a shop selling their cans and bottles along with merch such as t-shirts and hoodies. Currently most Saturdays sees a street food trader pitching up outside, however longer term they intend to build an open kitchen in the tap room to offer their own food.
The Olde Bowling Green Inn in Bradwell will be closing for a bar refurbishment on Sunday 31 May with a party on the Saturday night, 30 May, from 8pm with DJ Euan Halbert. While the pub is closed the landlord and landlady are getting married and reopening the pub as a husband and wife team at 4pm on Friday 12 June.
There has been a management change at the Woodroffe Arms in Hope. The pub is owned by Greene King brewery but leased to independent local operators. The pub is now another one run by Atlantik Inns, who already have the Old Hall Hotel across the road. The Woodroffe is a community local with sport on TV, cask ales and an outdoor drinking area. It also offers accommodation. The food offering here will deliberately be different to the Old Hall with pizzas and bar snacks available.
The Albion Pub in Sheffield has entered a new era as local hospitality figures Joe Rugg and David Savereux officially take over the historic venue, bringing it back to independent ownership and community-focused hospitality.
Previously associated with Stancill Brewery, The Albion will now operate completely independently with a renewed focus on showcasing a broad range of beer, food and entertainment. The pair plan to offer 12 keg lines featuring four rotating independent breweries alongside three cask lines with one permanent beer and two rotating guests.
The drinks offering will extend far beyond beer. A curated wine list from Charles at Barks Wines will sit alongside a full cocktail and mocktail menu while plans are already underway to build a full kitchen serving high-quality pub food designed to perfectly accompany a pint.
David Savereux, Managing Director of Nivek Group that operates Sheffield institutions Corporation Nightclub and Trafalgar Wearhouse and Joe Rugg, founder of the popular social media platform Pints of Sheffield, believe the city’s pub culture deserves protecting and celebrating. Rugg is also the founder of the Abbeydale Road Beer Festival which has grown over the last five years into one of the city’s most popular independent beer events.
“We want this place to be a space for everyone,” said Joe Rugg. “A place to hang out all day, serving great food and drink while staying true to what a pub should be, somewhere for conversation with friends and family.”
Savereux added: “Pubs are part of Britain’s identity. Getting involved in a pub during this climate might seem risky but if we lose our pubs we lose something incredibly important about our communities.”
The pair say Sheffield’s independent spirit inspired the venture. Neither were born in the city but both now proudly call it home.
“Sheffield is already a national beer destination and we genuinely believe it can become a global one,” said Rugg.
Plans for The Albion include live music and DJs every weekend, a giant outdoor screen for the World Cup this summer and restoring the venue as a true seven-day community pub. Until its relaunch on 5 June 2026, The Albion will remain open Thursday to Sunday.
“We’d love people to come back and give The Albion a second chance.”
In early May, employee-owned Abbeydale, the oldest brewery in Sheffield, opened Abbeydale Beerworks, their long-awaited tap, a mere 200 paces from the brewery. Using the same space as the ex-Turners Bottle & Tap (Abbeydale Road, S7 1FL), covered outside seating leads you into a cosy space. The bar is on your left, with seating on the right and to the rear. Decor includes brewery-inspired imagery on the walls and a selection of trinkets, many obtained locally or from the brewery.
Beer-wise, there are four cask beers from Abbeydale and six keg selections. Opening night saw the permanent cask, Moonshine, joined by Black Mass, Daily Bread and Through the Hopback Cascade.
On preview evening, the first award presentation at this new venue was made – no doubt, the first of many. The certificate, for a finalist in the Barley Wines & Strong Ales category in the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain Award 2026 was for one of the Abbeydale core beers: Black Mass.
This was first brewed almost 30 years ago, on 6 November 1996. The 26th brew from the then new brewery was developed from a beer which the co-founder of Abbeydale, Pat Morton, had previously brewed: Kelham Island Brewery Bête Noire, a 5.5% stout.
Over time, the recipe for Black Mass has evolved. The first brew was single hopped with Cascade, and had oats and mixed cereals in the grist. The malt bill remains complex, currently featuring crystal malt, both chocolate and pale chocolate malts, black malt, and roasted barley.
Some say Black Mass is a stout, others say it’s a well-hopped dark beer: suffice to say Black Mass was one the first black IPAs. It has an IBU of over 150. IBU (International Bitterness Units) is a measure of the bitterness of beer based on the amount of bittering compounds from hops, the iso-alpha acids. The scale typically ranges from 0 to 100, with higher values indicating a more bitter taste. For example, a Pilsner would be 15-30 and a West Coast IPA would be 50-70. With an IBU of over 150, there are a lot of hops in Black Mass: Columbus, Cascade, and Green Bullet. Rich and smooth on the palate, with flavours reminiscent of bitter chocolate, fruitcake and raisins, and aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, and just a hint of burnt toast: it’s classic and familiar yet also unique and boundary defying.
It is also the only beer listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide with an ABV to two decimal places: 6.66%.
Black Mass is one of Abbeydale’s many multi-award winning beers. It also recently won a major Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA) award: Gold in the Bottle/Can Speciality IPA category at their flagship BeerX UK event in Liverpool, the Indie Beer Awards 2026. This is an indication of it’s quality, and yet another acknowledgment of the outstanding beers produced by Team Abbeydale. We wish them well with Abbeydale Beerworks.
