Restaurants in Bakewell

Stayed here over the glorious Bank Holiday weekend. Had a beautiful superior room in the adjacent old coach house looking out over the Chatsworth Estate. There are two restaurants - brasserie-style in the Garden Room and fine dining in the Gallery restaurant. My only criticism would be that the Gallery flattered to deceive - perhaps they should ditch the two-restaurant approach and focus on doing food really well in just the one restaurant. That said, the Gallery is a beautiful room looking out over the fields and breakfast here was lovely. Chatsworth House is just a short walk of a mile or two away.

They say this pub has the best view in the Peak District and having spent an hour in their beer garden over the Bank Holiday weekend it would be hard to argue. It was a welcome stop-off on a circular walk from Bakewell and although we didn’t eat here there were big queues for the buffet-style selection (and the bar). They needed more staff but to be fair it was absolutely glorious weather so every man and his dog was out and about.
