Was C6546AZsallyw at Charles a mag?
Pie, chips and peas. What's not to like. Quick and friendly service and they got the order right. Clean and tidy restaurant with nice decor. Would return and more than happy to recommend. View all feedback.

What David Brown dislikes about Charles:
I paid £3.50 for a disappointing, flavorless latte that tasted like it came from a packet. The waiter even confirmed this when I asked. Honestly, if they charged just 75p, they would still make a great profit. Service: 3 Location: 5 View all feedback.

Stopped at Matlock on the way back from a lovely outing. The atmosphere was great and the food was amazing. The cod and chips were fresh and tasty as advertised. Will definitely come back for another meal. -Mike

I recently dined at this spot for fish and chips. The eye-catching sign attracted me to the café, where I ordered the standard fish and chips for £9.99. It was worth every penny! The fish was thick and flaky, and the batter was perfect with no grease. The chips were equally delicious and not oily. I learned they fry in beef dripping, which explains the amazing flavor. My meal was cooked to order, so it was hot and fresh. I would definitely return. The restaurant offers outdoor seating, where I enjoyed watching the bikes go by.

Used the restaurant not the hotel. Very polite and helpful staff, on street parking but able to park right outside the restaurant. Food quality is good and is freshly cooked.

First time eating at Charles restaurant. Husband and I had bacon sandwich and pot of tea each. Lovely fresh bread and bacon and great friendly service. We sat outside, the tables and the restaurant are very clean and they have good clean toilets for the customers. Would definitely eat there again

With lots of choices for places to eat in Matlock Bath, we decided to try somewhere new today, and we weren't disappointed! All staff were super friendly and our waiter was very engaging, he talked through the menu with me and my wife (I went slightly off menu and they were very accommodating) and even some to and listened to my 2 sons. Food was great, service was excellent (and very fast) and the food was great value for money. If you want your fish and chips in the comfort of a restaurant, rather than a chip shop. Then look no further! Thank you for your great service!
