Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Well done guys ! We had some time whilst waiting to go to Chatsworth house. It was -3 degrees outside. So we popped into The Bakewell Tart Shop and we were met with a very warm welcome from the staff. I had the Steak &...Ale pastie (although being from Devon I’d say pie 😂) call it what you like it was the tastiest steak & ale pie I have ever eaten. I had a nice mug of hot chocolate with all the trimmings which was also very nice. My wife hat a cuppa and a slice of Bakewell tart which she really enjoyed. The friendliness of the staff was second to none,More

We visited Bakewell on a shopping trip. The weather was 2 dgrees C and raining and we needed a little respite from it. Found the Bakewell Tart Shop and was welcomed and quickly seated. Menus and drinking water supplied whilst waiting for our choice af...toasted tea bread and fresh scone with butter, plus 2 lattes. The service was quick, attentive and friendly.

My wife and I stopped here for a late breakfast/early lunch during our third visit to Bakewell over the last few years. I had a breakfast and my wife had a Tuna Sandwich. The breakfast was as good as one could hope for, freshly cooked...and quite a platefull. Tuna sandwich was delicious and very filling. Served with a pot of tea for two, all for under £20. The service was equally good and I would recommend this establishment to all.More

We visited The Bakewell Tart Shop yesterday and was so impressive from start to finish. The guy who served us was so attentive, polite and friendly. He seemed to genuinely want us to have the best experience. My wife is gluten and lactose intolerant and...she had an Australian chai and gluten free Bakewell tart. She loved it and it was nice for her to have a choice with no fuss. We were given a bottle of water and glasses while we waited for our food! Great touch! Amazing experience and came out feeling so good. Can’t wait to go back.More
