Bakewell is a pretty market town in the heart of the Peak District. While the town is perhaps most famous for its unique pudding, Bakewell has plenty to offer; traditional tea rooms, quirky eateries, fine restaurants, historic buildings, a weekly market, the charming River Wye and plenty of spellbinding countryside to explore.

Bakewell is crammed full of gorgeous cafes and bakeries however this little cafe/gift shop tucked away in the heart of Bakewell is a gem. With some classic dishes, some Spanish tapas and cake for every dietary requirement including numerous varieties of Bakewell Tart!
