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!

An amazing breakfast in a spotless cafe with very friendly staff, who could ask for anything more. I can highly recommend it

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.!

Called on Saturday and had a very enjoyable meal we had a mere platter between 2 , the food was delicious , we added a portion of skin on fries and this was enough for us, recommend if you are in poklington or the surrounding area

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

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our lunch at Bloom. The menu looked nice but the pork, lamb and prawns were not available, apparently because the menu was shortly going to be changed. It would have been helpful to have been informed of that before we arrived (they had my phone number and had texted the day before to confirm the booking) as very likely we would have cancelled the booking and tried elsewhere had we known. The food we ordered was not great. The burger and steak sandwich were OK but the fish pie was a bit tough and difficult to cut into and the supergreen salad was basically just a large pile of slightly lukewarm, undercooked vegetables plonked onto a plate, very poorly presented and unappetising. So, all in all, rather a disappointment.

Lovely people, fabulous menu, super delicious Indian fusion food and drinks, good spot, nice relaxing vibe and grebackground music. Great vegan options. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back!

Went for lunch here after having walked around the village when it was rainy and wet - we were greeted and given a table in the tearoom where there is a stand full of that day's homemade cakes - which all looked very tempting! We were looked after very well and the food was lovely - we had the vegetable soup and a toastie which really hit the spot! The lady running it (apologies for not asking) said she runs it how she would like to experience going to a tea room, and you can tell she takes pride in this. My only regret is not having enough space in my stomach to try the cakes!

A really lovely cafe in a lovely old building. Very bright and airy. With Beth's Kitchen operating out of the cafe, I asked them in advance to make a custom birthday cake for my wife. We came in and had a slice there with our twin toddlers - and it was fantastic. The kids toys were handy for keeping them entertained. Would visit again!
