Since 2017

Our Story

William Deacon's Bank, later RBS, was an integral part of Chapel-en-le-Frith's history, housed in a unique and time-worn building. Through painstaking restoration of the bank's traditional features, we're proud to have created a sophisticated yet welcoming place and a truly unparalleled, relaxed British experience.

“We're striving to create the kind of restaurant we'd love to go to ourselves as food lovers: welcoming and snug, prioritising exceptional food. A place where people can come together, enjoy each other's company and relish an unforgettable meal.”

Since 2017, Deacon's Bank has been our home, and it continues to grow with the creativity of the Deacon's Bank team serving modern British cuisine. Our chefs share their knowledge and passion for refined British cooking with a lightness of touch.

Do you cater for special diets?

We gladly cater for most dietary requirements and allergies, though some dishes may need to be adapted.
