The best restaurants in Bakewell Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

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!

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!

Just been for a meal with the family. The food was excellent and the room has a wonderful view over Bakewell. I would definitely recommend visiting. Also very reasonably priced.

Super cute small cafe run by husband and wife. Food and coffee was delicious and they were very accommodating to dietary needs such as gluten free options!

I was recommended Lovage by my sister, and I have to say.. it was amazing! We had wine & tapas.. sensational! My friend & I chose lots of dishes, all of which were beautiful. The wine was amazing too. The lady who looked after us was brilliant and attentive. Will be coming back!!

Before coming home from a short stay in Bakewell we called into the Jolly Fat Chef for a coffee. Lovely coutyard setting and nice coffees. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the perfect birthday lunch! Friendly staff, incredibly fresh food catering for veggies, vegans and meat eaters alike. Have been meaning to visit for ages and wasn’t disappointed. Thank you!

Enough light to feel welcomed; enough attention to feel wanted; enough splendid food to cheer the soul. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful evening at Lovage. The welcome was warm and the food delicious. I would most certainly recommend. Thank you.

Great sammies and welcoming owner!

Friendly welcome, proper coffee. Spacious seating. Lovely staff, fresh cooked food. A very welcome & happy accidental find- would highly recommend 😀

Fabulous place to dine. Very friendly and attentive staff. All of the dishes we had were cooked to perfection with stunning presentation. Also well priced for the quality. Will definitely be visiting Piedaniel's again in the future.

Great beer selection and a nice wine menu too. This is proper, honest hospitality done without jazz hands but done really, really well. And it is much cheaper than other bars in town. Highly recommended 👌🏻

my dad has been buying me the pawtucketville since i was playing t-ball. i'm 20 now, and i go all the time. whether it's after a long over night shift or when i'm randomly awake when they're open! they remember me and my dad and ask about him almost everytime i'm in! very awesome people! and the food is absolutely phenomenal

After recently visiting Rafters, we had to try Rafters at Riverside. We decided on a Sunday lunch for my birthday. Myself, my husband and our 6 year old son were looked after by Alistair and his team, and we couldn’t fault a single thing! The service, the drinks and the food were all outstanding. It was without doubt the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had, and our son absolutely loved it too. The wagyu beef and the Yorkshire pudding with a hidden surprise were delicious, and the children’s menu was fantastic too. We can’t wait to come again!
