The best restaurants in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

A little treat for my wife's 40th - did not let us down! The whole experience was amazing and every course was so good. The customer service was great.

Lovely cafe with friendly, helpful staff. We enjoyed delicious sourdough toasties. Great selection of cakes, we took some home for later. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back. Thanks

Had an amazing meal last night at an absolute gem of a place here in North Derbyshire. Afro-Caribbean menu all freshly prepared and served in her kitchen. The food was truly authentic and delicious. Sat in her conservatory with Caribbean music playing in the background really made it a great experience.

. . . fancied a warm drink as got throughly cold and damp on our walk; knew Peak Feast was open as we could smell delicious aromas as we approached. A warm, friendly welcome for us and our dog, Pepper. We sat outside with other friendly customers enjoying the same; thoroughly wholesome! I enjoyed their Earl Grey Tea Loaf packed with fruit and a welcome coffee. We will be back and recommend.

Really good location, good food and friendly staff! Good prices using quality ingredients. Simple menu done well. Would like to see a few more lunch options but this isn’t a complaint. Chicken Siracha burger was spot on and the chips were perfect! Will be back!

We really enjoyed our two nights. Very well looked after and fed. The decor is in keeping with the house. Lots of original features and William Morris wallpaper.!

My friend and I was in search of Bakewell baked goodies and the ladies in this shop didn’t disappoint. Lovely food and good coffee. Thank you

We had a dinner here and everything was excellent. The food delicious, varied menu, reasonably priced and lovely staff. Really recommend supporting this family run restaurant.

Like many other regulars I was more than a little apprehensive when the business was sold in July. Fortunately it's been business as usual under Lambton's new owner. The coffee remains excellent, the bread and cakes are excellent and there are a host of unique, quality food options on the shelves. It's my go to place for gifts for foodie friends.

Great atmosphere and staff. Went here by myself and was instantly greeted with friendly smiles and faces which instantly made me feel comfortable being there.

We arrived in Bakewell for an overnight stay and was searching for some pastries to take back to our room and came across this wonderful bakery, The Cornish Bakery in Bakewell. What a wonderful pleasant visit . The person who served us is called Ayr. What a lovely young man so helpful kind and pleasant

A big thank you to the young man (sorry, I didn’t get his name) who worked tirelessly (and cheerfully) on his own over lunch time. It was busy because there was only one other cafe open in Eyam today and to expect him to serve customers, make drinks and clear tables was a big ask but he managed brilliantly. Clearly a very capable chap. The cheese scones are highly recommended!

Popped in by chance and what a lovely place. Staff very helpful seeing as we hadn't booked. Drinks served with our lovely, plentiful delicious meal. Ambience is perfect. Recommended and a great place to visit. Should imagine in the summer it's even better

We had the most amazing food here. All is home made by the loveliest lady you could wish to meet. Thoroughly recommend the Hot Pot Soup and the Toasted Sandwiches. And her Scones were the best I've ever tasted. This tucked away little gem is a must to visit, and we will definitely return soon. Dog friendly too 🐶.

I happened upon this wonderful coffee shop by chance, I was cycling in the area and needed calories, I am so glad I found it. The service was excellent the varied choices superb I went for the overnight oats which were delicious. I will always use local independent cafes whenever I am visiting anywhere, I am not a chain regular. The cakes all looked home made as did the all the fare on offer, I spoke to a lovely gentleman who served my food and told him I loved his place. I managed to complete my ride before they closed so popped in for some cake before returning home, suffice to say it was outstanding the carrot cake did not disappoint, it will be my go to now should I return to Ashbourne, I just wish I had it on my doorstep, it is that good. I loved the decor and the ambiance it is a place you feel at home in, which is a difficult quality to acquire in establishments nowadays. The staff and all concerned facilitate this, I so hope this is still here when I next visit.
