Latest review:

We had a lovely lunch here for two. Good service and beautiful restaurant. We choose the market menu which was a good price for a main course with excellent food. Bavette steak was tasty if a bit rare at medium rare, and gnocchi was amazing. Had a very tasty chocolate ganache dessert as well. Would recommend.

Our review of Lovage (November 2025)

Opened in 2020 in the Peak District market town of Bakewell, Lovage is a well regarded restaurant from chef patron Lee Smith, whose past accolades include a Michelin Star and appearances on TV shows like The Great British Menu. The feedback since opening from regular customers has been overwhelmingly positive across every review platform you can think of, and with the restaurant also holding a Michelin Guide listing and two AA Rosettes, I was feeling pretty optimistic about the prospect of seeing some top class cooking as I rocked up with my wife for lunch, on a stormy November Friday....
