Café · Matlock
A little café in Matlock Bath with bifold doors that fold right open at the front, so on a warm day you get all the light and air without wrestling a pram through a doorway — and buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted. Food comes out fresh and fast, which matters when someone's hungry now: bacon cobs loaded with crispy bacon, toasties, croissants, and cakes and scones people go misty about, plus a strawberry tart one visitor rated the finest they'd eaten. Coffee is properly good, tea arrives in china cups, and cold drinks come with a glass from the freezer. Dogs are welcome and there's outdoor seating for watching the world go by. Worth knowing: it's on the pricier side, packed on sunny weekends, and closed some days — check before you make the trip.
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.
