Bloomers of Bakewell — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

My wife and I have just been on a long awaited trip to Haddon Hall, and Bakewell. Wanting a souvenir or two and without sounding disrespectful to any of the other bakers, we liked the look of what was on offer from Bloomers Of Bakewell, Water St. Everything on display looked (and smelled) amazing. Spoiled for choice we bought a few Bakewell Puddings and Bakewell Tarts as well as some other food. After a three hour drive home we tucked into our Bakewell offerings.... ....and they tasted 'heavenly'! Honestly, you have to try this place. The food is gorgeous. My wife has never liked the taste of almonds and/or Bakewell tarts that you get from supermarkets. But, she completely finished every piece of Bakewell pudding from Bloomers. Lovely people, great food. We will be back, even if it is a 5 - 6 hour around trip!

P.S.- I don't suppose you have a UK wide delivery service? You have converted my wife to Bakewell...

Bloomers of Bakewell is a lovely bakery with real roots — they’ve been part of Bakewell for over a century, originally trading on Matlock Street before moving to their current shop on Water Lane about 25 years ago. 

I visited recently and was really impressed. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in.

The bakery is well known for their Bloomers Original Bakewell Pudding, made using traditional methods and high-quality local ingredients — flaky pastry, jam, almondy richness — and that care shows in every delicious slice. 

Everything felt warm, charming, and full of character. It’s not just a place to grab something sweet — it’s a bit of Bakewell history wrapped up in flavor.

Highly recommend stopping by Bloomers if you’re ever in Bakewell — for the taste, the atmosphere, and the friendly people behind...

We travelled from Staffordshire to Bakewell, Derbyshire on Saturday. As usual, the christmas market was very busy. My husband requested a Bakewell Tart and I purchased one from a lovely lady selling Bloomers Bakewell goodies from a little stall. I opted for the iced tart (shortcrust pastry) rather than the pudding (flaky pastry) and I have a major complaint!! - they just don't last, one just isn't enough, it's all gone & I'm craving more!! They should be purchased in at least 3's!! They are totally delicious. The gingerbread trees were nice too! Lovely service and a cracking tart!!!! Thank you Bloomers, I will be...
