The best restaurants serving British food in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We really enjoyed the tapas menu. There were small and large plates, great for sharing and all absolutely delicious. I had the monk fish and lentil daal which was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. We were amazed at the quality of all the food, including vegetarian options. Wine choice also very good. We had a fantastic evening and highly recommended.

Lovely cafe with friendly, helpful staff. We enjoyed delicious sourdough toasties. Great selection of cakes, we took some home for later. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back. Thanks

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 had coffee and scones on vintage china, and the owner, a young lady, was most friendly and helpful. A hidden gem - may she prosper and succeed in her business.

Catered Hen Party weekend, we had fabulous catering for a themed evening on Friday and a formal evening on Saturday. Both evening the food was great, but the formal evening meal was stunning. The entire team were accommodating, friendly, and left no trace that they had even been in the kitchen. Highly recommend for any private dining event.

I am a bit of a coffee snob and enjoy a really well made coffee. Every time I get an excellent made coffee and it tastes great even the decaf . Lovely after a session in the gym .

Bought a salad box from here a few weeks ago, the gentleman in the shop was absolutely lovely and this was one of the best salads I have ever had. Will be back!

Exceptional, the food , the presentation, the service is world class. The culinary experience is of the highest standards. Hidden away in the small town of Bakewell. Michelin guide experience at its best. Absolutely faultless. 7 course taster menu with wine 😮‍💨 Best of the best….. if it’s good enough for Tom Cruise, it’s good enough for me

Lovely independent bakery. We had 2 sandwiches to take away. They were very good. Ciabatta and top quality fillings for a very reasonable price. The sausage roll was amazing. Friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area again.

We visit this restaurant several times a year, to sample each menu. The food, service and ambiance are simply outstanding and our visit last night for the Indian themed menu was possibly our best yet. This is a talented young chef at the top of his game with a great team around him. The expansion plans to take over the whole building are very exciting. Thanks George and the Tasting Club team - we will be back!

This little restaurant saved our lives today - place we’d planned to visit shut - won’t be going anywhere else in Tideswell except “The Cherry Tree” in future. Superb selection of sensibly-priced fresh sandwiches, pasties and sweets - also dog food, but didn’t sample that. Friendly and efficient service, and theymake an excellent cup of coffee too. Till the next time, thank you!!!

I happened upon this wonderful coffee shop by chance, I was cycling in the area and needed calories, I am so glad I found it. The service was excellent the varied choices superb I went for the overnight oats which were delicious. I will always use local independent cafes whenever I am visiting anywhere, I am not a chain regular. The cakes all looked home made as did the all the fare on offer, I spoke to a lovely gentleman who served my food and told him I loved his place. I managed to complete my ride before they closed so popped in for some cake before returning home, suffice to say it was outstanding the carrot cake did not disappoint, it will be my go to now should I return to Ashbourne, I just wish I had it on my doorstep, it is that good. I loved the decor and the ambiance it is a place you feel at home in, which is a difficult quality to acquire in establishments nowadays. The staff and all concerned facilitate this, I so hope this is still here when I next visit.

My husband and I had a lovely meal here. We were made to feel very welcome and we would thoroughly recommend it if you are thinking of going. We will be going back.

Been updated since last visited .Really welcoming and friendly staying in the village and it became place to goto. Thumbs up from us.

This is a small friendly hotel in a very nice location. We stayed just one night and will definitely return. The room was well appointed and our dinner and breakfast were exceptional. It’s rare to find food cooked with this level of creativity and skill in the UK. The sun was shining and we walked from the hotel onto the Monsal Trail. It’s a perfect base from which to explore the best of the Peak District. The Riverside team were fantastic and work very hard to make things perfect. Thank you for looking after us so well.
