About The Boat Inn

A quiet pub in Matlock where the noise level won't have you apologising to nearby tables — which cuts both ways, so a fractious toddler will be heard, but a calm one can eat in peace. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive without organising anything in advance, and gluten-free options if someone at your table needs them. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded on the doorstep, and free parking takes one small stress out of the arrival. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if things get restless, and it's worth booking ahead.
