The best restaurants in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

In a world full of Costa and Starbucks etc etc etc ..it was such a treat to find such a gem....the owner is doing her best and the scones cakes and coffee are so 'homemade" it's ALWAYS a treat to escape to here! I'll keep supporting independent traders, the soul of Wirksworth xx

Amazing place good views friendly staff amazing homemade food local sourced food and great quality and home sourced and grown

Excellent! Absolutely faultless. The concept of teaching a trade and skill to category D prisoners makes so much sense. Prisoners are taught the skills required to prepare, cook and serve good food restaurant style.Everyone we came into contact with was extremely polite and friendly. The restaurant is clean and spacious. We booked in advance. This meant that your table was laid with table cloths and cutlery in advance. There was a good choice of food at an extremely reasonable price.£6.00 for a main course. We were a party of 4. Two of us had beef and onion pie.1 had chicken curry .1 had quiche and salad. We had cooked deserts. Really good sized portions. Followed by tea and coffee. For the 4 of us the total bill was £46.00! Open Monday to Friday. Also there is a plant shop next door that sells plants grown in the prison gardens. All plants are in a good condition. The staff working here are very keen that visitors return. We will certainly do so and will encourage others to do so. Brilliant work everyone does here.

Looking for good material ideas for a prom dress .Betty’s Sewing Box is a real Alladins cave of beautiful materials for sewing, knitting or crocheting. My 15 year old Granddaughter has just started to do her own clothing designs after her work experience at David Nieper Fashions. She was amazed at not just the materials but the trimmings and patterns even for beginners. The lady there took time to talk to her. It is a great place, can’t wait to go back. The cafe there is lovely and it has its own car park. It has a great workroom at the rear. Fantastic.

Well what a horrible place. Keep hearing that pubs are closing at a rate of 7 / week yet this is still trading! How? Must be the only pub in derbyshire that doesnt allow dogs yet walkers with filthy boots are ok. Miserable barman and very slow service

Haven't been to the Black's Head for a couple of years. Went early this evening, lovely welcome, dog friendly. Will definitely go again.

As someone who has visited many a pub and ran a boozer down south, I'm so delighted that this is now my local. I know Derbyshire and Cheshire very well, and I can promise you that the warmth of the hosts and all the guests is second to none. None! - RS

Called in for breakfast before going for the train. This is a great little quirky cafe and does a lovely breakfast. It is really good value for money. The variety on the menu is amazing for such a small place. The food came promptly and was beautifully cooked. Well worth the visit.

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

We enjoyed a coffee and scone at a window table. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The sultana scone was freshly baked and generous in size. Pleased we chose this excellent venue.

Stayed here for a night with my friend and I could not recommend it more!! It was clean and Abbie was lovely. We stayed in a bell tent which was ideal as we only had to bring sleeping bags. We had a nice picnic bench and a bbq. The toilets and showers were AMAZING!! So clean and modern. The campsite was lovely with stunning views and only 10 minute drive from Buxton. Unfortunately the restaurant wasn’t open when we went but overall it was an amazing stay I will definitely be coming back!

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.

Very good indeed. Eat here four times in a week. Great food and good service. Good to see a busy and vibrant pub. Planning next visit.

Perfect spot for party with friends! The cocktail making was brilliant and unique and the food was brilliant. We had plenty of space and time to enjoy ourselves and the venue is well decorated and inviting. The accommodation was really welcoming and the fun bunkbeds were brilliant! It was clean and had excellent extra touches and the showers were great. Thanks again Andy and Kirsty!

What a great place for takeaway sandwiches,pastries, and cakes. Everything we bought we thoughly enjoyed and was great value. Would recommend to anyone visiting Tideswell
