Milkshakes in Herbert's Tea Room are lovely I tried the 'Cookies and Creme' one when I was there and it was to die for! Staff are friendly, and there are a few veggie and vegan options. Quite pricey, but you can sit inside or outside with dogs. If outside there is a large tent-like shelter with fairy lights and tables, chairs, and benches. For a less expensive option, there is a snack place at the start of Tissington Trail by the car park. Toilets are clean and free but couldn't see the disabled one? You can park for free on part of the entry to the village but as it is classed as the Tissington estate it is limited to two hours only. Cyclists are considerably more polite and gentile on this trail as compared to Monsal Dale and will softly say, "On your right" before they pass by, to let you know there is a bike there or ring a bell. There's a very comical black and white village cat who stopped a car and walked in front of it to the amusement of Herbert's Cafe customers when I was there and the ducks are just as leisurely and in control as they slow down and stop traffic around the village on a whim! The candle shop was open whilst I was there (October 2022) and pricey but maybe not for handmade/artisan candles etc. The plant nursery was not open.
