Fish & chips · Matlock
Fried fish and chips at a price that won't sting for a family of four, with a kids' menu so children get a portion sized for them rather than half of yours. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is properly sorted, and the step-free access is a relief if you're pushing a buggy in. Vegan and gluten-free options are worth knowing about if someone in your group eats differently — not something you can count on at every chip shop. There's outdoor seating too, handy when the little ones are too fidgety to sit still indoors, and the moderate noise level means nobody's going to mind a bit of chatter.
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.
Bright, buggy-friendly Matlock Bath café with fresh bacon cobs, lovely cakes and proper coffee — busy on sunny weekends, so check opening days.
Mixed-age families are well served here, with high chairs, a kids' menu, step-free access and vegan and gluten-free choices.
