The best restaurants in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Amazing experience at the Lighthouse with the family for a special birthday. Exceptional food and staff, lovely mocktail too as I’m pregnant. Couldn’t fault it the food just gets better and better each time.

Popped in again for refreshments briefly whilst out cycling. Every time I go in I’m met with a smile from the friendly staff and owners. Love this place and its position in the village is great for people watching. Today I had an oat flat white and a piece of amazing tortilla. Thanks again.

Having seen this place on hairy bikers my friends took me here for my birthday. Such a brilliant night. Food was amazing all freshly cooked and so tasty. Can highly recommend. Caribbean food at its best!

this place is a little gem! We visited here a couple of time during our stay in Youlgreave. The coffee is good, but the cake .... oh my!!! Incredible cake and the most generous portions!! 1they slice I had lasted me 2 days, perfect! The staff are so nice, gave us cardboard to sit on as the benches were wet. If they did delivery I'd be the size of a house, ha!

Louise is an amazing chef and Darren a brilliant front of house host. Great service and value for money. Always excellent. Thanks guys👍

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.!

We were in the area & planned visiting pocklington. We wanted to get a breakfast / brunch there, so I checked reviews and we went with this gem.. On arrival there was a table to the right that took the 4 of us.. we were told to take a seat.. We weren't told how to go on..whether table service etc...so my hubby picked up 2 menus after a little wait..and got up to order and was told they'd come to take our order this was my only thing I felt wasn't great x We ordered 3 full English one with black pudding and the pancakes . And 3 teas and a coffee we lived the presentation of hot drinks . And the breakfasts were well cooked to perfection No small amount if baked beans but a good sized bowl.. one if our party didn't like the toast & found it a bit greasy ..others disagreed Pancakes were the best ! Cooked to perfection.. light..Fluffy Bill was approx £63 and worth it x

Lovely coffee shop. Staff so friendly and helpful. Beautiful coffee and homemade cakes. Called in with two grandchildren and they loved it as well. Highly recommended and will definitely return when next in Matlock Bath.

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.

This is easily the place with the best coffee and pastries in town. In addition they have an amazing deli range of produce. We have always found the team welcoming and friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Unmissable!

Just visited for bottomless brunch-excellent nothing too much trouble Could have any combination of drinks and food as long as in the same package- staff excelent

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

Went on Friday evening and took advantage of the steak for 2 with wine offer - we upgraded and had the chateaubriand which was cooked to perfection - delicious. It was so good we decided to return for Sunday lunch - which was also great

We have been waiting to come here for a good while and so were very pleased to try the festive menu. Service is very friendly and slick; the decor is simple and elegant and, most importantly, every course is delicate, delicious and beautifully presented. You get what you pay for. Our only criticisms are that all of the savoury courses were served warm to tepid. And, it was extremely (and I do mean extremely) noisy in there. I realise that this is hard to control, but it was so loud that we could barely hear each other speak and we were practically shouting across the table. So, it is worth bearing in mind that it is certainly not the place for a quiet and intimate meal. That said, definitely worth a try.

Called in last Saturday and asked if they were dog friendly as we had our dog with us,they said they were so we got a table just for coffee and Cake.Ginger Mocha, Americano and a Almond crossaint. Everything was lovely, staff were very friendly. We even went back again for lunch.Chicken curry and rice plus a spicy chicken panine with salad and more coffee. Even though they were busy we were served very quickly and everything was again lovely. Well worth a visit if your in Bakewell and we will definitely be going back again.
