High Peak Bookstore and Cafe

Lovely book shop and cafe, but you have a long wait to get a seat when busy. Staff were not very helpful. Although did a good range of gluten free which made up for it.

Visited for a family lunch as we wanted to support them through the difficulties they've had with the roadworks. Unfortunately, I was left very unimpressed by one particular member of staff in the cafe. Our order included 3 tuna & cheese panini's and we asked for 2 of these with no nuts/seeds (they sprinkle on the salad) due to allergies and 1 of those 2 also needed to be gluten free. We were made to feel that we were an absolute pain in the bottom for having these allergies! Given that the vast majority of the menu is bread based and comes with nuts and seeds (they'd run out of jacket potatoes) we didn't actually have much of a choice but to be "awkward"! Perhaps if they don't like alterations to an order they should refrain from adding nuts and seeds 🤷 Staff in the shop were all lovely but I shan't be returning to the cafe sadly.
