The Shepherd's Rest

The Shepherd’s Rest sits among the rolling hills of the Peak District, offering relaxed country dining in a warm stone-built inn near Bakewell. Expect seasonal dishes made with local ingredients, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. From slow-cooked classics to lighter plates and carefully chosen wines, the focus stays on flavour, comfort and quality.

The menu changes with the seasons, making the most of Derbyshire producers and traditional techniques. Whether you’re stopping after a walk, meeting friends for lunch, or settling in for an unhurried evening meal, the atmosphere remains welcoming and easy-going.

Inside, rustic character meets understated elegance, while outside, countryside views set the tone for a slower pace. The Shepherd’s Rest is the kind of place you return to, drawn by dependable cooking, warm hospitality and a setting that makes every visit feel like an occasion.
