The town may look like the traditional heart of Derbyshire, but the restaurants in Glossop span tastes from across the world. Feast on South Indian bhajis, chicken dhansak and decadent Peshawar naan. Or, treat yourself to a Chinese meal if you’ve got a hankering for some prawn dim-sum and stir-fried chilli pork. Looking for the perfect venue for an intimate dinner? Try a family-run Italian restaurant or a stylish French bistro. Families and walkers, on the other hand, may choose to seek out hearty portions and classic British dishes at a gastropub. Nothing beats traditional fish and chips and a hot pudding after an afternoon of walking up Mam Tor or cycling around Ladybower Reservoir.

Derbyshire is rich in agriculture and the restaurants in Glossop tend to use local, seasonal and organic ingredients that are sourced from local suppliers. Look out for local lamb and chicken, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and local hen, duck or quail eggs. Some of these may even come from nearby Chatsworth House, which has huge estates and an active farming business. The restaurateurs here cater to a discerning population of local and visiting foodies and are passionate about the dishes they serve up and the provenance of the ingredients that they cook with.
