Rabbit and Stitch

Rabbit & Stitch is a stylish Ashbourne café and bistro that brings something a little different to a dog-friendly day in this Peak District market town. Right on St John Street, it is an easy stop to fold into a wander through Ashbourne’s independent shops before or after heading out for bigger adventures around Dovedale or the Tissington Trail. The venue leans into chic brunches, elegant lunches, artisan coffee, cocktails and afternoon tea, so it works whether you want a quick coffee stop or a slower, more polished pause.

For visitors travelling with a dog, it is especially useful because dogs are welcome, meaning nobody has to do the awkward outside wait while the humans refuel. Stylish, central and a bit more dressed-up than the average café stop.
