Gastro Pod - Stone Centre - Wirksworth - Derbyshire

It was a long time since I last visited the Stone Centre (see my blog) so it was certainly time for a return visit, although the signage for the place is poor, and you have to have your wits about you to turn in, and to find the cafe

The refreshments are now served in a really lovely, new building which is so airy and clean, with stunning views over the countryside.  I particularly impressed that the disabled toilet had a full-sized bed so it was possible to change an adult - what a brilliant idea.

However, the range of food on offer was very poor and uninspired, and there was a sharp cut-off point for serving basic things like breakfast and sausage cobs, which I thought was ridiculous.  When people have been out walking in this vast site what would be nicer than getting back to scrambled eggs on toast?

They had also run out of several basic items when I called in, like tomatoes.  How hard is it to get in a car and drive the couple of miles into Wirksworth and buy a few more?

Nice place but take your own picnic, and just buy drinks at the cafe!
