A fab day to end what started off as a course. It was the first time to visit Bakewell for me where…read morewe had gone for a guided walk to the area. A nice place if you like watching loads of seagulls, swans, ducks and fish all in the same place. The day was gloomy but what lifted our spirits was the homity pie from the Bloomers of Bakewell. Absolutely brilliant traditional pie and they also claim to be the home of "THE FIRST AND ONLY ORIGINAL BAKEWELL PUDDING". The place is quite small but hosts a great amount of variety each more tempting than the other. It's almost like the food shouting out to you "you gotta try me or you've missed something brilliant". The prices are absolutely reasonable and I got about dinner for 4 of us for under a £10.3 including dessert. They also hoard a bespoke collection of 60 local and British cheeses. Do not forget to try their chocolate fudge cake which almost melts in your mouth. Wish this were closer to Leeds but surely will go there just for the pies.

There are so many places to choose to eat in Bakewell - most of them boasting the oldest original…read morebest first tastiest Bakewell Pudding and Tart, how are we supposed to choose? I know - choose the one we saw from the car park. Great menu selection but a bit baffling for a starving Adam Y who couldn't concentrate "can you just make me a good cheese butty?" "what kind of cheese?" ...... In the end he had a brie salad and I had the Cran-Brie (brie, cranberry sauce & walnuts) from the menu both on granary bread. They were lovely! Great bread and really tasty brie. Both very reasonably priced in a lovely Derbyshire town :)

This is a lovely little deli that we discovered on the way to Bradgate park. They stock a good…read morerange of meats, cheeses, olives, jams, pickles etc and fancy things in bottles and jars that you'd feel tempted to try out - leaving the shop with more than you intended to. We used to be obsessed with their roasted broad beans and their chilli bites that we couln't find anywhere else. They do a large range of sarnies, ciabattas and rolls. It's a lovely place tahat is not over priced and makes a change from the likes of Greggs. Next time your on the way to Bradgate Park (don't think it's open on sunday), stop off and stock up with goodies. You won't be disappointed

The shop is small but very cosy place. When it is stocked well - there are loads of nice foods. I…read moreespecially like the black pudding, the summer fruit pudding, plenty of nice local-ish cheeses to choose from, hams, game and poultry. At Christmas they used to sell a gorgeous game pie - yummy yummy. The shop also sells eggs, flours, breads, cakes, coffee, tea, beers, honeys, lots of different stuff really - also frozen foods e.g. pies, puddings. I also get my propolis tincture from there and I bought a lovely propolis cream. There is also fresh food to tkw - pies, pastriesHowever, the custard tart went mouldy after a day in the fridge - which was very surprising as I am normally very happy with what I buy there. The staff is helpful and polite. Very nice little shop.

Shortly before Christmas 2011 I purchased a 'cheese and broccoli' quiche from this shop. When we…read morestarting eating this, it became apparent that it was, in fact, a 'ham and mushroom' quiche. As we are both vegetarians, this was quite an unpleasant experience. Although we live 20 miles from Bakewell, I made a special journey to return to the shop (with the quiche wrapper) in the hope of an apology or refund/replacement. To my amazement, the owner refused to do either. Apparently if I had returned the remains of the quiche (which I had thrown away, never wanting to see it again) then he would have considered a refund. This matter is now in the hands of the Consumer Protection agency, who are taking it very seriously.

As an eat in place, you can get anything you want in any kind of bread for a pretty fair price. They have three boards of sandwich suggestions, but if that isn't enough, you can devise your own. Always take my Mum and Dad there - they have a great time deciding what to have - breakfast baps are incredible and very good value. Coffee is big and strong. They have a loyalty card which allows a free one after about nine cups - a nice touch, and obviously competing with Nero down the road. The deli counter has a nice selection of food, some unusual stuff - but I do think you pay for it. The olives in particular seem to be very expensive, and I don't really feel they are any more special than from the right supermarket.

All…read morethe fresh foods, meats, cheeses etc are great but the real treat for me are the fine cakes that they do. There are also things like preserves and biscuits etc. It also has its own little cosy cafe which is well worth a visit if you can get a seat as its so popular. This shop is a real treat for anyone who likes good quality fresh foods. It could be bigger size wise and would still be full but that doesnt take away from the quality hence the 5 stars.

It was 90% rocket which is hard to eat in that quantity and I didn't! It may be my fault, but I forgot to ask for a fork, assuming that one would be included along with a napkin, which wasn't either! Eating hummous, beans and beetroot outside with my fingers was an experience! But I don't want to do it again, so please give your takeaways a fork and napkin, or at the least ask if they are required. xx

This place really stood out to me amongst the small, quaint shops and boutiques of Knutsford. The outside seating looked very inviting, but it was a little bit cold so we opted to go inside. The inside is small, no more than 8 tables - but I liked it. Warm, cosy and cute. They offer a fantastic little menu consisting of soups, sandwiches, salads and some special seasonal dishes - but we opted for some coffees instead, which were lovely. But this place is more than a cafe, The Cheese Yard also sells artisan cheeses that they buy from cheese makers all over then world, as well as and boutique wines, beers and ciders too. You can order a fantastic range of these cheeses to try with some lovely homemade chutneys and crackers. Alternatively, customers were popping in to buy selections of their favourite cheeses to take home. It really is a lovely place.
