Locally sourced, thoughtfully served
Our brasserie-style dishes celebrate flavour, flair, and the finer things in life, while paying tribute to Longbow’s ethos. We offer a carefully curated selection of fresh dishes that showcase the finest local ingredients – a true celebration of culinary craftsmanship and Peak District produce.
We work closely with trusted farmers, growers and artisans from across Derbyshire and the Peak District to bring the best of the region to your table. From dairy and locally reared meats to fresh vegetables and breads, our ingredients are chosen for quality, flavour and sustainability. It’s just one of the ways we honour our surroundings, while raising the bar for dining in Bakewell.

Brunch
Served daily 9:00am – 4:00pm
Brunch at The Charleston is an occasion worth setting your alarm for.
From eggs done with a little elegance to salads with genuine swagger, small plates for grazing and big plates for those who mean business, our menu has everything you need to set yourself up for the day or linger long into the afternoon.
Pair yours with a Bloody Mary, a glass of fizz or something from our coffee bar, and let the morning do its thing.
This is Bakewell’s most glamorous way to start the day, and we’re not even a little bit sorry about it.
Evening
Served daily 5:00pm – 9:30pm
When the sun starts to set, The Charleston really comes into its own.
Our evening menu is a modern take on brasserie classics. Bold, considered dishes that celebrate flavour and the finer things in life, served in a room that knows how to set the scene.
Kick things off with snacks built for sharing before working your way through starters, salads and generous mains that deserve to be lingered over.
With most dishes gluten-free or easily adapted and a strong lineup of plant-based options, there’s something on the table for everyone.

Whether it’s date night, evening drinks in Bakewell with friends or a spontaneous celebration, we’re here to help you mark the moment in style.

Bar
Served daily until 9:30pm
Sometimes a cocktail needs a little something to keep it company.
Our bar menu is made for those who want to graze, sip and settle in, with a selection of nibbles, savouries and sides that are designed to be shared, picked at and enjoyed at your own pace.
Choose three plates for £15.50 or four for £19.95 and you’ve got yourself a pretty perfect evening. Pull up a chair, order a cocktail and let the evening unfold.
