The best restaurants serving British food in High Peak East Midlands

Called in to this little tea room just off the Main Street in Castleton. Lovely place, greeted by a very friendly lady. After much deliberation we chose two cakes and a pot of tea. Cakes were delicious and the pot of tea came with a pot of hot water all served in white china...perfect. Would definitely recommend.

Our first visit to Deacons Bank. We knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. Simon is the most talented chef I have met. A visit DB is a must for every foodie. We will be back again soon. Thank you Simon and the team at Deacons Bank.

We’ve visited hundreds of coffee shops around the country over the years and tried numerous cakes and desserts. I can say without reservation that the Apple and almond cake and Bakewell tart were the two nicest we’ve ever tasted. What a little gem of a coffee shop. Cheerful and welcoming staff and to top it all they’re dog friendly.

Lovely little place with inside and outside tables, next to shop in quiet old arcade opposite the Opera House. Superior food with a local flourish, and Buxton Pudding Emporium shop next door run by same people. Not fast food, quality comes with care and attention which takes time, so don't rush, enjoy the flavours and the quiet location.

I had a full English there with my toddler, and the food is delicious. Coffee taste fresh and brewed to perfection. The staff are really friendly and attentive, made me feel really welcome. Toilets are nice and clean. This is probably one of the nicest cafe atmospheres in Castleton, definitely a must-visit when you come to the area.

Lovely beer garden to sit out. People were eating outside as well

I have been to Hyssop while it was on High Street West, and then under its new name and premises, Hyssop and the Hare on High Street East. We had the chef's choice menu on an early Friday evening. The food is outrageously well priced given the quality. The pork belly and cabbage in particular was some of the best food I've ever tasted. One of my party commented that it was better than the pork belly at the Hand and Flowers. I can well believe it. The focaccia was unparalleled. Dessert was a pleasingly large slab of deliciously balanced sticky toffee pudding. I prefer the cosy environment and atmosphere that is the new venue, to feel so relaxed while enjoying such high quality food makes for a wonderful experience. The vibes are immaculate. The house red is excellent and we enjoyed a round of superb martinis. The service is warm and friendly, Mia is a delight and really enhances your experience. The waiting staff were knowledgeable about the food and could readily answer questions about the dishes. There is a £20 pp deposit, which is unavoidable and understandable these days, as is the apparently strict enforcement. I am so glad that after the devastating fire Glossop gets to continue to enjoy such an extraordinary offering. I look forward to trying the Cosy Thursdays menu.

We went on a Saturday and was disappointment as when we were going to order we were told we couldn't have coffee and cake as if was lunchtime and we had to order a full meal. We had been at this time of three previous occasions at the same time - booking by telephone and NOT been told that as it was lunchtime we had to have a full main meal. So was very disappointed as I only meet up with my sisters/family once a month (there was 8 of us) and this is the handiest to their homes so we got up and left. When taking telephone bookings for a lunchtime they need to advise customers of their choices!!! Subsequently we will not be going back!!!!

We visited the Paper Mill whilst staying in High Peak over the Easter break and wanted somewhere dog friendly for an evening meal. The setting is idyllic and the Paper Mill was busy, friendly and welcoming. We ordered a range of sides and pizzas and a selection of drinks and were not disappointed. Great food done really well! Thank you for a great evening!

Welcome place to stop for a coffee and cake on a miserable day. Staff very friendly. Good to see some local crafts on sale too.

We pre booked the Christmas menu meal for a family dinner meet up of 6 adults and 2 little ones And wasn’t disappointed the service was spot on and the food was delicious highly recommend and amazing Christmasy setting with all the decorations up many thanks Andrew Burt and family

We only were there for one night, the room was well equipped and comfortable, with tea making facilities, and a nice view, easy parking and pleasant staff. The real surprise was the food,evening meal was well priced, superbly cooked, and served by attentive friendly staff. But the real treat was the breakfast, great selection,fresh ingredients and served nice and hot. Also my wifes Gluten Free requirements were well catered for. Possibly the best hotel breakfast we have been served in the UK

Excellent chippy in the town centre. Called in after walking in the valley. I had a lovely large cod only £5.50 and a small chips £2.00 which was actually a large portion. The fish was large with lovely white flesh and a very good thin crispy batter. Well worth the money. Chips were fine but had better elsewhere but still good, I sat on a bench and really enjoyed my lunch. Staff in the shop very friendly especially the guy with the tattoos.

Great service. Awesome knowledgeable staff. Really good gluten free options
