Nestled in the heart of England, East Derbyshire dazzles with a magnificent culinary history that is as rich as Florentines - a long-standing Derbyshire delicacy with the right crunch of nuts and candied peel. This area boasts a diverse palette of food traditions, intertwining both age-old recipes and ambitious culinary innovation. Known for its array of traditional English fare, acclaimed for their bracing ales and hearty pies, East Derbyshire is a feasting haven. Rivers of custard run through Bakewell puddings, the pride of the area since the 19th century when Mrs. Greaves accidentally innovated the popular dessert in a local inn. As part of the broader county Derbyshire, the eastern region has been heavily influencial offering some splendid restaurants that are steeped in history and character. Pop to The Market Pub in Chesterfield for the acclaimed Sunday roast or relish the symmetry of flavours at Stones, set in the picturesque riverside of Matlock. Furthermore, a selection of fine dining establishments offers a canvas for chefs to demonstrate their creative flair with local produce; lamb, game, and fresh fish. Not to mention the sumptuous vegetarian and vegan options available, very much proving that East Derbyshire has more to offer than just its traditional meat-laden dishes. The rising trend of farm-to-table cuisine has solidified East Derbyshire's reputation not only for providing a historic look at British food but also for leading the development of modern English cuisine.
