Breakfast

Underleigh House holds the AA’s Egg Cup Award for memorable breakfasts and has won ‘Best Breakfast’ at the Derbyshire Food and Drink Awards. As holder of the Peak District Environmental Quality Mark and a member of Peak Cuisine we are proud to promote and use local produce.

Breakfast is taken in the charming dining hall, with its beamed ceiling and flagstone floor. It is served ‘house party’ style around a large, oak refectory table.

On offer is an outstanding full English breakfast or a wide choice of alternatives for the smaller appetite or the vegetarian. Specialities of Underleigh include our own recipe muesli, porridge cooked overnight in the Aga, several fruit compôtes and numerous home made preserves.

The tasty sausages and black pudding are made by Robert Watson, Hope’s own butcher. He also supplies us with the soft Derbyshire oatcakes -which are a traditional delicacy specific to the area - and local eggs.

The menu also features poached haddock for fish-lovers.

We make our own granary/wholemeal and white breads using flours from Caudwell's Mill and serve warm croissants baked daily in the Aga.

A variety of herbal, fruit, green and breakfast teas are available, as well as cafetière coffee and decaffeinated options.

Special diets can be accommodated if advised in advance.
