From the low-and-slow roasting joints to the locally sourced Peak District ingredients, Farmers Feast focuses on good honest food done properly. Walk in for breakfast Thursday through Monday, or reserve a table for the signature Sunday carvery—a multi-roast feast that draws crowds from Bakewell and beyond. With vegetarian options, dog-friendly tables, and special market-day openings, there’s always a warm welcome waiting.

What We Offer

The heart of the menu revolves around two core experiences: a full carvery and a traditional English breakfast. Each is prepared from scratch using high-quality local produce, ensuring every visit delivers hearty flavors.

The Sunday Carvery

Every Sunday, the team roasts four joints low and slow from early morning. The carvery lineup includes:

• Roast Beef: Aged Derbyshire topside, slow-roasted until pink and served with horseradish sauce and rich gravy.
• Roast Pork: Free-range Peak District pork leg with crispy crackling, paired with apple sauce.
• Roast Turkey: Whole British turkey breast carved to order, accompanied by sage and onion stuffing and cranberry sauce.
• Roast Gammon: Slow-cooked gammon joint carved thick, with mustard on the side.

All plates come with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding, and homemade gravy. Vegetarian and vegan alternatives are available upon request, and booking ahead is strongly recommended, as the carvery often sells out.

The Full English Breakfast

Available Sunday morning, Monday morning, and all day Thursday, the Full English is built from scratch. Expect back bacon dry-cured in the Peak District, well-seasoned pork sausages, free-range fried eggs, chopped tomatoes, flat mushrooms, baked beans, toast, and traditional black pudding. Vegetarian and vegan breakfast options can be prepared to order, making it an inclusive start to the day. No booking is needed—just walk in and grab a seat.

Our Food Philosophy

Farmers Feast stands on a simple, unwavering idea: every meal should be the best of your week. The team sources meat from local Peak District farms, roasts every joint low and slow for maximum tenderness, and fries every breakfast component to order. This dedication to craft means you don’t just eat—you sit down to a proper plate built on freshness and locality. The carvery is never a buffet left under heat lamps; instead, it’s carved in front of you, ensuring peak flavor and texture.

Serving Bakewell & the Peak District

Located inside the Agricultural Business Centre on Agricultural Way, Farmers Feast is perfectly positioned for a post-walk meal through the dales or a family Sunday lunch. Bakewell, in the heart of Derbyshire, draws visitors for its scenic trails and charming market town atmosphere—and this carvery-restaurant fits right into that rhythm. The dog-friendly policy means muddy boots and four-legged companions are welcome, while the family tables make it easy to bring everyone along. For private hire, the venue accommodates groups looking for a dedicated celebration space.
