Cafes and Tea Rooms in the Peak District & Derbyshire – which is your favourite?
England is well known for its traditional tea rooms and there are some fabulous cafes and tea rooms in the Peak District and Derbyshire. Enjoy afternoon tea in the Peak District, go to town with Englishness and eat scones and jam, drink lashings of tea and indulge in lots of cake.
Lemon drizzle cake, Victoria Sponge, carrot cakes, Chelsea buns and eccles cakes are some of our firm favourites when it comes to cake in our beloved tea room. Some places we’ve listed also go further with something a little more extravagant.
If you’ve visited somewhere we haven’t listed and think it really deserves a mention here – get in touch.
