This review was published in 2019 and describes an earlier visit to Café in the Cavern. Menus and facilities may have changed.
Buxton Country Park and Grin Low Woods offer walks from the entrance to Poole’s Cavern, a natural limestone cave open to visitors.
Whether you’re about to head for Solomon’s Temple or a gentle stroll with the dog in the woods, or you fancy getting away from the town centre for a light lunch for a change, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast or lunch at Café in the Cavern – one of Buxton’s best kept secrets.
On our visit, we enjoyed homemade mushroom soup and a sausage, egg and mushroom bap before a walk to Solomon’s Temple. The café window looked out on birds and squirrels. At the time, the café offered gluten-free bread and some gluten-free soups.
The original review said the café offered a children’s menu and welcomed dogs. The café can be reached on foot from the town centre through the Pavilion Gardens.
Whilst you’re here the small yet informative and interesting visitor centre is superb – and a great intro if you’re about to go inside the cavern itself. Don’t miss the packed gift shop – brilliant for unusual gifts for everyone. Café in the Cavern is worth popping into if you haven’t already and makes an ideal place for a group meet up too.
