The Hydro

If you find yourself looking for a bite to eat in Buxton, look no further than this quirky café and restaurant at the heart of the bohemian Spring Gardens. With years of experience running independent cafés, owner Sam Sharma was quick to realise that there was a gap in Buxton’s market. The Hydro serves a wholesome menu that caters for specific dietary requirements, offering an extensive range of options for all tastes. Choose from gluten-free battered haddock with chunky chips or traditional Derbyshire oatcakes, or from a number of vegetarian curries followed by vegan ice cream. Everything is made using natural, locally sourced ingredients, and the Indian menu is a standout – think authentic curries full of fresh flavours and spices. Serving a range of fine wine to guests enjoying live performances by musicians, this unique treasure offers a refreshing mix of good food and great entertainment.
