We’ll be your new favourite spot for a leisurely lunch, a sophisticated Afternoon Tea with cocktails, an intimate dinner or a premium brunch in Bakewell.

With a flair for flavour and devotion to exceptional service, we’re proud to be part of Bakewell’s dining scene.

The Charleston is not just another place to eat; it’s a destination locals return to, visitors remember, and every visit brings a little glamour to the table.

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.

Got plans? Let's make them fabulous.

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.

From cocktails and craft beers to fine wines, mocktails and coffee, there’s something for everyone – because glamour isn’t about what’s in your glass, it’s about feeling fabulous!
