Cath, Malc & The Team welcome you for quality fresh food in the heart of the Peak District. The Woodyard offers a relaxed and friendly environment accompanied with fresh, homemade food and the only beer garden in Bakewell overlooking the River Wye.
Built in 1810 as a Marble Works, the building still carries its working past. A glass floor by the bar reveals the old millstream running through the building. After years as a mill, one half remained a marble works and the other became a woodyard. The restaurant was formerly called The Pointing Dog & Duck. Cath and Malc, both local, restored the name The Woodyard because they knew the building's history.
The main menu is served all day every day. Kitchen hours are Monday to Saturday, 12pm to 9pm, and Sunday, 12pm to 8:30pm. The light bite menu is served 12-5pm. Kids can pick a main, side and potato for £10. Sunday roast is served alongside our main menu until we sell out, with all available as gluten free. Sunday 19th July is the last day we will be serving Sunday Lunch for the summer. It will be returning on Sunday 6th September.
A vegan menu and a non gluten containing ingredient menu are available. None of the dishes on this menu contain gluten. The kitchen has separate gluten and gluten free fryers, and our grill is kept gluten free. We cannot guarantee 100% that any items are completely allergen free because food is prepared around other allergens. Please inform staff of any allergies when placing an order and ask for the Drink Allergens 2026 and Allergen Guide Summer 2026. Please inform your server of any dietary requirements. Please ask a member of the team for todays specials and dessert options.
We highly recommend booking a table. Choose adults, children, whether you are bringing a dog, your preferred time, allergies and special requests on one page. This is an honest request, not an instant confirmation, and the team will confirm shortly. For same day bookings call us on 01629 690140. We do not accommodate bookings over 12 guests. A 10% service charge will be added to groups of 10 or more.
Outside dining and drinking is weather permitting. Outside tables are available on a first come first served basis. We allow well behaved dogs in one area of the restaurant and in the garden. Tell us when booking so we can seat you correctly. Dogs must be on leads at all times.
We do not have our own car park. We are next to the Bakewell Bridge Public Car Park, which is pay on exit. Derbyshire Dales Council parking permits cannot be used there. Taxi services are limited in Bakewell, so we recommend booking in advance. Search for The Woodyard on Google Maps rather than relying on the postcode, which covers a large area.
We offer gift cards that can be loaded with any amount you choose. Pop in and pick one up from the bar, or ask us to post out gift cards to you or the recipient. Postage is paid by the buyer and tracked or signed delivery is recommended. Payment for posted gift cards can be taken over the phone. With the loyalty card, you receive 1 point for every full pound spent. Each point is worth 1p, and points can be redeemed at any time against future purchases. We do not collect any information besides your name for the card.
We operate the Challenge 21 Policy. If you look under 21, bring valid proof that you are over 18: a Proof of age card with 'PASS' accredited hologram, an International passport, or a UK photograph driving licence. Photos or Photocopies of ID will not be accepted.
All cocktails are hand made to order by our skilled bar team. Explore a wide selection of wine, refreshing crisp beer and spirits to our warming hot beverages. Selected cocktails are £11 each or 2 for £18 between 5pm - 7pm, and mocktails are £6.50.
