This is a re-writing and an update of an earlier post.
ASHFORD-IN-THE-WATER - Aisseford Tearooms. Lovely tearooms in one of the Peak District's prettiest and most popular villages. A pleassant walk along the river from Bakewell.
BAMFORD/SHATTON - The cafe at the Hope Valley Garden Centre. Usually not too busy.
BASLOW - Cafe on the Green. The best Bakewell pudding I've ever tasted.
BUXTON - Pavilion Gardens Cafe. I've had afternoon tea here a couple of times with Siobhan, one of my support workers. Very classy; most of the customers are middle aged and middle class.
CALTON LEES - The cafe inside the Chatsworth Garden Centre. Plenty of space and plenty of food options to choose from.
CASTLETON - 1530 Restaurant. This building dates from the sixteenth century. I had a lovely fish pie sitting outside in the garden.
CHATSWORTH HOUSE - The cafe wasn't as expensive as I feared it might be.
EDALE - Cooper's Cafe. All that I can say is that it's better than the other cafe in the village...by the look of its menu anyhow.
EDENSOR - Tea Cottage. A lovely spot in one of the Peak District's pretty, and more unusual villages. Not a lot of parking though.
EYAM - Cafe on the Green. I had the best lime marmalade I've ever tasted.
Eyam Tearooms. Located in a former pub. A large selection of ice cream. Plenty of room inside.
FORGE DAM - A scenic location in the Porter Valley, a few miles from Sheffield City Centre. Based in a former scout hut. Jarvis Cocker wrote some of his songs for Pulp here.
GRINDLEFORD - Old Station Cafe. Very large portions served here. Eccentric owners; look out for the quirky handwritten notes everywhere. I know for certain that there's a real log fire here.
HATHERSAGE - Cintra's Tearooms is one of my favourite places in the Peak District. Lovely garden, and like several other cafes, there are paintings on the walls for sale.
HOPE - Old Hall Tearooms. Part of the Old Hall pub. My first choice for food in the village. I've visited two of the other three cafes in Hope, but they are now under new management. The cafe on Edale Road is very popular with cyclists, and the other establishment has only just re-opened after a major refurbishment.
LITTLE LONGSTONE - 'The Hollow' Delightful: The place to go if you want to feel that you're part of the country set...or even the aristocracy. I needed to ring a hand bell for service. It was raining during my visit, but there's a lovely, large garden to sit in.
LONGSHAW ESTATE - The cafe here specialises in its 'soup of the day.'
LOW BRADFIELD - The Old Post Office shop and cafe. Small and cramped, but a hive of the local community. Shop, cafe, take away, community library and newsagent's. Run by a very enthusiastic young couple - brother and sister I think.
MATLOCK - The cafe in Hall Leys Park. Nothing remarkable.
MONSAL HEAD - Hobb's Cafe. It was made obvious to me that the staff preferred it that I sit outside.
RIVELIN VALLEY - Cafe in the park run by the 'Pudding Ladies.' Savoury dishes are also available.
