A proper Peak District pit stop, this Matlock tearoom does the kind of food that refuels everyone after a walk — baked potatoes with salad, homemade flapjacks that walkers stop in for mid-morning, and chocolate cake and traybakes worth taking home for the teenagers. Portions are generous and the prices stay reasonable, and the team will work around dietary needs, with vegan choices and a kids' menu alongside. There are high chairs, buggies get in fine, and outdoor tables help when the inside fills up. Parking is free and easy, which counts for a lot round here. Two honest notes: it shuts at 4pm, so it's a breakfast-or-lunch place rather than an afternoon one, and tables run small — a group of six can be a squeeze, so call ahead if there are lots of you.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
