A visit to a Derbyshire restaurant would not be complete without sampling the most famous dish from the area, the Bakewell Tart. This renowned dessert consists of layers of jam and shortcrust pastry and is named after the Bakewell area in the Derbyshire region. The area is also renowned for a selection of savoury dishes, such as Lobby. This dish was first concocted when the region was populated by potteries and the poorer workers could not afford the best cuts of meat and so used offal and trotters as the base for a tasty casserole. Other fine offerings from the restaurants in Derbyshire are sage Derby, a tasty and wholesome cheese and also flat griddle pancakes, both originating from the Stoke on Trent region.
