The Riverside Kiosk — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

If you are looking for a very tasty bacon bap or other served by kind helpful local family business in lovely setting by the River (Derwent) here up the south end of town opposite the Fishpond Hotel and nearly at what looks like was an opera house. Now houses the Peak District Lead Mining Museum, then I can very much rec this local family cafe outlet at a fair price compared to others.

With the parking restrictions now in place in Matlock, it meant I had to rush my food, which was good, but definitely not worth the wait, as we then had to leave to avoid getting a ticket. We will not be...

We used Matlock as our 'base' for exploring the Peak District and we sampled their breakfast choices when grabbing an early meal and their lunch menus when returning from our days out. Although we didn't try every item on the menu, the chip butties and bacon cobs were our favourites (Best Bacon ever!). The outdoor seating is kept nice and clean and provides a nice view of the river. Duck food was on sale for a good price too so we fed the ducks/swans/seagulls! from their private dining area.
