The best restaurants serving Default food in Masson Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We called in one morning as Mrs having a lie in. What a a warm friendly reception. They brought a water bowl for Ruby my chocolate Labrador and a treat. Breakfast was incredible and Rubys sausage was well received. Would recommend a visit

Possibly the best bookshop ever and I’ve been to lots! Quirky, eclectic, massive stock and excellent prices. A fab cafe and really nice staff - a must if you love good books and good food!

Fish chips and peas special was lovely tasted so nice and price was excellent but the owner went the extra mile and gave me some free bin bags for muddy hikers clothes and boots we where picking up as we couldn’t find a shop xxx

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

I was really hoping for the wholesome, home cooked food that the price tag promised. The bean casserole tasted like a tin of baked beans with a whole load of dried sage stirred in. The salad could have been bought in a bag at Asda. I won't be going back.

Now known as Habib's and under new management, Cromford's No. 2 chippy is working hard to win custom from the long-setablished rival across the road. The offering has broadened to include kebabs and panini/pizzas - though we've found that not everything on the menu is available all the time... Generous portions, well fried fish and chips, good standard of cleanliness, seating outside and inside. Slightly more expensive than the ultra-competitive chippies along the road in Matlock Bath but a good local chippy.

Great tea and cakes and a great range of wildlife and ecology items and gifts. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating area. Easily walkable from Matlock Bath.

We had a lovely lunch today in the restaurant. The scampi and fries were very good as was the vegetable lasagne, garlic bread, fries and salad. The desserts were good too. The restaurant is quiet with windows to the gardens, the staff are friendly and helpful. Oakhill has lovely location surrounded by beautiful gardens. It has a handy, adequate car park.

What a find! We have been to Matlock Bath a few times over the years, and whilst we’re not a million miles away, there was nothing really pulling us back there. We’d go for lunch as a family, or I’d ride my motorbike over for a coffee, but sometimes it’s a bit busy and hard to get seated comfortably and nowhere really that made you feel welcome. Outkast Company absolutely changed that. Not only was I made up as a biker to find a proper bike destination, but taking the kids somewhere that they are actually welcomed and treated as if they are present. The place was busy with every seat filled and there were people standing and enjoying a good chat too. The atmosphere was buzzing. Despite all that a couple of guys (customers) cleared a table for us and stood so we could sit down and eat, the owner welcomed the kids and introduced himself, as did a lady working there. The sense of community as a biker made me feel kind of proud that places like this still exist, but as a family man, I can’t remember the last time anywhere gave us a genuine welcome. The food is great value and those with a sweet tooth can forget going anywhere else. The coffee is insanely good too. If that’s not all, they even have their own beer which I took a bottle away and now I have to go back and get more! The food is hearty, fresh and delicious. For what you get, the prices are cheap compared to everywhere else in Matlock Bath. I genuinely can’t say there is another place that I can think of where all of this lives under one roof. There were a lot of small groups of bikers and a few couples that came and went. A massive mix of a crowd clearly enjoy coming here so the place obviously has a great reputation. It sounds a bit extreme but in this day and age it’s hard to find a genuine atmosphere rather than the usual places you go were everybody sits separately and doesn’t engage with anyone. You must pay a visit when in town, particularly if you ride. Avoid the usual struggle to park your bike to be rewarded with expensive fish and chips, come here instead.

The most incredible ice cream we have ever tried! The blackberry and apple and raspberry ripple….out of this world. Set in a working farm with a little play area.

Easy walking distance from Cromford Mills, this pub has an excellent menu and serves food all day. We arrived early afternoon for a late lunch, were greeted promptly at the bar, bought drinks on a tab, given menus, advised about table service and allowed to pick our own table – all simple things but so often ignored or badly performed. We tried the steak from the fixed price lunch menu and pie of the day from the main lunch menu. Both were excellent as was the service throughout our stay. We even left a tip – not common for travellers from Australia on a budget. Recommended.

Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and food that is absolutely delicious! Different textures and tastes that are just amazing

The best. A shame it it’s not open daily. And a shame it doesn’t do kababs. Open Thu to Sat.

Restaurant which has been taken over and I used for the first time in a couple of years. Takeaway food ordered and it was first class food,very good value for money.Fully recommend.

We always go to the Riverside Kiosk when in Matlock Bath. We usually go during the day time and grab a coffee and sit down by the river. Last night we grabbed our drinks to watch the fireworks in Matlock Bath. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend.
