The best restaurants in Bakewell Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Beautiful, tasty meal. Highly recommend you visiting.

We pre-booked a table at The Lavender tea rooms for a traditional afternoon tea. The food was delicious and huge portions - we each had our own cake stand. We were unable to eat it all but we're provided with boxes to take the cakes home in. My daughter has a nut allergy and was catered for with a wonderful selection of different cakes. The tea room is in a courtyard with an outdoor seating area which would be wonderful in the warmer weather. The tea room was extremely popular while we were there with a steady stream of guests, they also sell cakes to take away. Thank you to Tony and his staff who were very attentive, we will definitely return.

Went in about 2pm on a Thursday so it was quiet. Only a small place but had a wonderful, welcoming staff, quick service and the pizza was served fast, got and was delicious.

Staff members very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! We would definitely come again. Reasonable prices , you really need to try the Bakewell Latte

We have stayed at the duke every other weekend from our first campervan adventure in February this year, we love it!! It's our happy place and there is nothing Bridget and the team wouldn't do to accommodate us, the campsite is lovely and the views are beautiful and the facilities are fantastic and clean, we love the pub with its lovely welcome, open fires and out of this world food !! We never want to stay anywhere else when visiting buxton/bakewell 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 looking forward to seeing Bridget and the team soon 🥰

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Cooked to perfection. Served quickly and presented well. Staff were friendly and the place itself very quaint. Seating area outside with chickens roaming freely.

Been coming here 20+ years with my dad and we have never had a bad meal yet. It's our favourite place to have a catch up. The owner John is lovely and always has time to chat, you can tell he puts his heart and soul into the business and he is a credit to the cafe. Fisherman/greek salads were fab as were the iconic Bakewell puddings with ice cream. Will always choose here over anywhere else in Bakewell.

went in and had a coffee a tea and bakewell tart.beautiful.staff so friendly and helpful.went back a few hours later and had a bacon roll,the best ive eaten for a long long time.id recommend this beauty to anyone.thank you.

Absolutely gutted . Been today from Sheffield and although it states on website open its actually shut and looks like its been renovated..please update the website so people know..had to go elsewhere which was nowhere near as good and cost more aswell ..Still ticked 5 as it always is so good..

Cooked in beef dripping, the best, the aroma on the high street pulls you in, and then you're not disappointed, perfectly cooked, tasted superb and fabulous courteous service , highly recommended and thankyou for the few chips 😋

We visited The Rafters at Riverside while on holiday and the first face we saw was Sue! She is the most lovely, friendly, smiley and helpful person anyone could hope to meet when visiting somewhere new. Sue is a credit to this restaurant. The food...

The fish and chips were terrible they tasted like they had been cooked in old oil. Plus they forgot to put in the curry sauce. We ended up throwing them away and eating cheese and biscuits.

Brilliant experience...strongly recommended...friendly staff, nothing too much trouble..prices reasonable

Fabulous beers in a terrific environment. Don’t be put off walking from Bakewell. Short 15 minute walk. Huge interior but warm and comfortable and a great vibe even on a Thursday afternoon in November.

£12 for a margarita and £12 for a meat feast ? Alarm bells should have rung then when most pizza's are the same price . I am unsure who has put good reviews on for this place but the pizzas are the worst we have ever had ! Definitely not fresh pizza ! Had to bank transfer £29 for 2x £12 pizza and 1x£4 fries, clearly their maths isn't too good either. I would rather eat dry bread than eat this frozen rubbish.. we waited about half an hour and was not told there would be a wait, husband had gone the fish and chip shop round the corner and eaten his before we had even got ours, whole experience was just awful.
