The Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop
A 17th-century building on The Square in Bakewell, making handmade Bakewell puddings. The upstairs restaurant serves brunch and afternoon tea; it is a Peak District signature.
The shop is in the centre of Bakewell on The Square, a 17th-century building with its original timber beams and exposed brick walls. The ground floor has a bakery counter and gift shop. Upstairs is a licensed restaurant seating 80, and you can also eat in the ground-floor food area or the courtyard. The signature is the handmade original Bakewell pudding. If you can't choose, order the “best of both worlds” combo of pudding plus tart. Traditional afternoon tea and English breakfast are also served, with breakfast until 11:45. Prices are affordable, it is busy on public holidays, and the upstairs has no wheelchair access.
Opening hours
Roughly 08:30/09:00–17:00/18:00 daily; may be shorter in winter (confirm with the shop)
