Aisseford Tea Room in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely Tea Room in pretty Ashford-in-the-Water. Food and coffee tasty, with welcoming and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Lovely breakfast to stoke us up for a walk. Wifey had stilton mushrooms. Very tasty. I had the full English great. Cakes look nice, next time. Friendly staff. Could hold breakfast open until 12 as there seems to be the demand.

Called in for lunch. The menu was good and appropriate, fresh and well presented. Had sausage bap, bacon brie panini and coffee. Very nice thank you. Shop stocked with good local produce. Pleasant staff and good service.

Stopped in for a snack on way past. Gorgeous oatcakes, bacon and stilton. Apple and ginger cake was a particular hit. Best buy was the really friendly service , taking a real interest in us without being nosey. Lovely .

What a find. Lovely tea rooms. Fab service. Accommodated 22 walkers without fuss and very quickly. Highly recommended! We will be back!

Pleasant service but not the greatest Derbyshire breakfast I'm afraid. Two of us had the full breakfast. Bacon was good, sausage not the best, tinned tomatoes. Tasty veggie sausage. Coffee good but small cups. Overall tired decor in need of redecoration. Sorry!

We were half way around our walk and popped in for coffee and cake. It had a couple of small tables outside and a few tables inside. The cakes had no prices displayed which should have been a warning. The flat whites were weak and we were charged over £5 for one slice of Bakewell tart. Two days later we were in a café in another village where two slices of Bakewell tart of a similar size cost £4. Competition is needed in this village.

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Don’t miss this little treat of a coffee shop. We only really popped in as it was raining and had been directed to it by a local who assured us it was warm & dry! We decided to try the Derbyshire oatcakes as we hadn’t had them before. So glad we did, topped with bacon, mushroom & Stilton and served with a lovely side salad and creamy coleslaw, what a treat they were. The downside, it was a big plateful which unfortunately meant we didn’t have room left to sample the yummy looking cakes. Guess we’ll just have to make a trip back up there again.

A little gem of a cafe. We would usually opt for a pub lunch but after eating at Aisseford this may change! There was no shortage of quality fillings in both the goats cheese with chutney & bacon with brie options and the dressed side salad with coleslaw made a delicious accompaniment. The addition of carafes of water for customers to help themselves to is a nice touch. If you're after a hearty lunch in a charming & friendly setting, this is the place to eat - highly recommended.

Just had hot drinks which were lovely. Coffee was really good. Staff were lovely. Relaxed atmosphere. Very pleasant.

Not a place for a good coffee as the flat white needed an extra shot. We may have been better to have tea and cake so may try that next time. My husband said that the lunch was OK but ham not the greatest! The staff are very friendly and we really liked the room at the back with garden view.

We happened upon this cafe after a long tiring walk. Fabulous cafe with excellent choice of drinks and home cooked food. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. When they realised we were actually stranded on a hot day, one member of staff drove us back to our accommodation. Beat that for service! Thank you so very much!

This little café serves a good menu, the food was very tasty and the staff were very friendly. I had a filled Derbyshire oatcake, and took some oatcakes home from the café too. The clementine cake was pretty good too. The only problem with the place was it was very cold. It is an old stone building and there was no heating in the dining area. So whilst I would recommend folk to have a meal here, I would suggest you went in the summer!

Stopped here on the round trip walk from Bakewell for tea / coffee. However we were tempted by the cakes and I had the best Bakewell Pudding I had on my holiday. It is the typical English tea room , with friendly staff , fresh cakes , and real tea - good quality and highly recommended

Excellent place, lovely setting , lunch was superb and the staff very friendly, will definitely go back , thankyou liz and team 😀

Called in today for early lunch ,we sat outside and it was beautiful,the weather was lovely but the garden was so peaceful and quiet. The lady who brought our food out was so nice chatty and friendly . The man who took the order again...

Cannot go wrong with this cafe/tea room. Food and service excellent - lovely staff. Smoked salmon and cream cheese, paninis, Derbyshire oat cakes all excellent.

Rude service at this place. Women taken order was so aggressive and ill mannered. Only 6 tables in a small room all on top of each other. People pushing passed all the time. Scone had three currant and crumbled apart when spreading butter that we...

A delightful tea room in a lovely village. We had seen it before and had to come back to try it. Parking was difficult on this occasion as there was a funeral at the nearby church. When we did find somewhere to park we had...

Its not often i write reviews ,especially for wonderful eateries like the Aisseford Tea Room,as its my regular place for a bite to eat when we are trotting around the Derbyshire Dales and if it gets more popular i will be dining with the chickens...

Quirky , quaint little 'Tea Room' in the picturesque village of Ashford In The Water. Lovely friendly , family atmosphere , owners and staff very polite and pleasant. Fine fayre to be had. Well worth a visit !!!

What a lovely little cafe! We took our pup Hector today, stayed for breakfast and a hot drink (Hector had a sausage), quality produce, friendly staff, and lovely surroundings. Will definitely call again soon.

Amazing cosy tea shop which served us a wonderful hearty breakfast Vegetarian option was tasty and sumptuous together with the lovely Derbyshire oatcake. Toast was lovely together with the tea Would highly recommend this friendly tea room for breakfast or even cake and coffee

We were staying next door for the week and went in out of curiosity to be honest! What a little gem. Lovely friendly staff, a nice big pot of tea and chocolate brownie to die for! Thank you, we will be back.

Superb stop off for a well earned lunch during a big day out on the bike. Greeted with friendly banter which cheered two tired cyclists up no end. Lovely food, coffee and service, the staff created some really nice memories for us both during our...

Thank you for having us today. Super breakfast and top notch Bakewell pudding to finish with decaf tea! Friendly staff in a dog friendly setting!

Excellent breakfasts in a lovely atmosphere. Owner and staff are very kind and nothing is too much trouble; this is our favourite cafe in the area, and we come whenever we can. Also good lunches and lovely afternoon teas.

Visited for lunch with our dog. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back 👍

Feel bad saying this but apart from the service this place was not great. I so wanted the guy behind the counter to be able to make a flat white but my prejudice kicked in and I went for an Americano. Glad I did as...

I can’t praise this little cafe and it’s staff enough. We came across this cafe after managing to get my dad out for the first time in a year, he can’t walk and is very elderly. He was on a trip down memory Lane and...

Had the most beautiful takeaway afternoon tea for two today! There was soo much delicious, homemade food, it took us all day to eat. A perfect anniversary treat! The ladies who served me were super lovely and very helpful in recommending local walks and things...

Worth a detour (we were going to chatsworth) for a friendly welcome and a breakfast that sets you up for the rest of the day. Superb sausages.

Went here today and the welcome we received was excellent from the minute we entered we were made to feel extremely welcome. We had hot chocolate and toasted teacake which were served with a smile and we're really delicious ,the place is very clean and...

Simply the best bacon egg and mushroom breakfast sandwich ever! And if you like coffee the cappuccino is pretty good too

Popped in today as it was the only cafe we could find. We just wanted something quick and light. Very busy as it’s a small cafe in a popular tourist area. Staff polite. Take a seat & order at the till affair. Unfortunately the pleasant...

Gorgeous tea rooms with outside seating. Such friendly staff and excellent service and breakfast. We were lucky enough to stay in Catherine cottage next door and were advised not to go home without trying the tearooms and we are so glad we did! Thank you.

We came across this lovely tea room coincidentally and will return. The two ladies Cheryl and Isobelle were so welcoming, cheerful and obviously competent. Thank you again and we would like to thank the kitchen support very much as well for lovely food.

Lovely tea room. We had the cream tea which starts with a sandwich of your choice from the menu, and what a sandwich lovely thick bread, plenty of filling. I had the thick cut Ham, salad on the plate and crisps., forgot to take pics....

Enjoyed 2 visits here.. one for cofffee and cake and the next for brunch… both to be recommended! Clean and nice choice of food

Lovely tea room with very friendly service and tasty food for breakfast - returned later for cake! Would recommend a visit in this charming village.

Lovely little tea room. I’m fussy about my coffee, and it was excellent. Pretty small garden with seating. Staff very friendly and helpful

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Aisseford Tea Room on a circular walk from Great Longstone via Monsal Head to Ashford in the Water. The menu offers a broad range of options from breakfasts, sandwiches, panini, light bites, jacket potatoes, salads & cakes. We...

Had full English & smashed avocado with bacon and egg on bagel. Large portions, one breakfast fed 2 children, so good value for money there. Good quality ingredients- not the thin bacon rubbish! Lovely ‘ambiance’ and friendly, accommodating staff. Enjoyable - thanks 😊

We stopped by at the tea room for breakfast on our way home from a camping trip. Our little 3 year was a bit weepy because she was missing home. The waitress was very kind to her. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast with very good...

Beautiful village , nice little tea room with a garden. Not the cleanest, table cloth needed wiping teaspoons stained. Nice poached eggs on toast other order was wrong. Some of the Staff not very friendly service lacked a little.

We visited this tearoom at the start of our walk for breakfast and then at end of our walk for afternoon tea and cake! Lovely tearoom with a beautiful garden at the back complete with 2 friendly bantams. Very friendly staff and great choice on...

Stopped for lunch halfway through our walk, lovely little tearoom. Good choice on menu, young staff very smiley and quick service. 2 teas, prawn salad and Derbyshire oatcake with goats cheese £20. We enjoyed our lunch. Silly things meant 4 instead of 5, like teapots...

We visited the cafe a couple of weeks ago and had lovely coffees and cakes. Unfortunately one of our group was taken seriously ill whilst we were sitting in the garden. The staff were absolutely fantastic, they couldn't have done more to help, and even...

Friendly staff, lovely garden to sit in. Great choice of savoury and sweet food. Good coffee, and also dog friendly. Prompt service too.

Well worth a visit. We went on a Sunday morning when having a walk around the village. Warm and welcoming, prompt friendly service.

Our go to coffee shop when in the area, always a pleasant welcome, great coffee and choice of cakes. On our last visit we arrived just before they were closing, thought it might be a takeaway but the lady behind the counter said it was...

Excellent ambiance and service.... with character 2nd visit will come again ..... interesting history which the owner will explain

Not the most helpful of places. Little understanding of Visual Impairment. Cakes very nice. Fresh and tasty. Worth avoiding.

Lovely warm welcome, delicious vanilla slices and coffee- well worth a visit before or after a walk! Garden for those sunny days!

Excellent, would highly recommend . Food was fresh and well prepared and presented. Can't wait to go back

i had a flat white and a full english breakfast both were delicious. The service was outstanding. thanks

Lovely little tearoom, friendly staff, great breakfast and warm and welcoming despite visiting on a wet day! Very pretty village so do pop in if passing through or, as we were, staying for a few days.

What a lovely little place , stunning from the outside with a lovely Christmas tree 🎄hanging from the front of the building . As we entered we was created by friendly staff who offered us cake & drinks as we was too late for food...

Great little Cafe, for just tea and cake or full lunch, after a winter walk, very good value money and lovely staff.

Just had tea / coffee. Staff very welcoming on arrival & explained how to order etc. It’s a quirky cafe but surprisingly roomy inside. Nice interior too.

called in after a little stroll round the village, very nice place, menu basic but typical tea room fayre. tasty panini and delicious coffee and scone! friendly staff.

Lovely top quality tea room on road to Buxton from Thornbridge. Jackets, scones and tuna mayo sandwiches excellent.

Just by chance after packing up our tents in driving October rain we did a quick trip advisor check for somewhere to escape the awful weather for breakfast. This cafe looked great so off we went. The welcome we received was warm and humorous and...

Stopped here in after a walk and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Had a (couple of) slices of chocolate brownie which was lovely. Would definitely recommend! Thank you x

A lovely little rea room serving delicious food and also apparently take always ( and as we are staying in a holiday cottage nearly opposite we aim to try take away bacon sandwiches for breakfast ). very popular, very tasty, very friendly.

We stopped off after a walk around the area. The food was only ok, and the coffee very weak. That's bad enough, however it was also expensive, not far off what you'd expect to pay in somewhere like London.

An adorable tea rooms with a lovely garden. Staff were very friendly and engaging. The food and drink was brought out quickly and very well presented. The vegan brownie was delicious 😋.

Fantastic tea room in a beautiful village. We had takeaway sandwiches which were superb and made to order. We detoured on our way home for more for the journey.

Where to begin. Booked a breakfast table for our group of eight. When we turned up we were split into 2 tables of four!. We were told as they were very short of staff we could only have bacon, sausage egg sandwiches, or beans on...

Relax in the garden or snuggle in the cafe. Great lunch, lovely staff, kids enjoyed the ice cream! Would recommend.

We found this little cafe by chance when looking for somewhere to have lunch, and what a lovely find it was. The food was excellent - we had paninis and jacket potatoes - and it arrived really quickly too. The service was quick and friendly,...

Lovely warm welcome in a lovely little tea Room, had scone with clotted cream and jam.... absolutely beautiful and quintessentially British......highly recommended. Thank you

Visited on a cycle tour of the area. Friendly and helpful staff, good food, great cakes but if you are a treacle tart addict like me their treacle and sultana tray bake was to die for. The wife had a nice lemon muffin and the...

Lovely lunch. Friendly staff and a nice selection of food. Would highly recommend the carrot cake. Dog friendly too. Definitely recommend a visit.

Thank you Cheryl and Kathleen and all the backstage crew for a delightful topping to a wonderful walk via my absolute longtime favourite, Monsal Head. Lovely grub for this hungry semi-vegan. Chewy dark sourdough and an interesting piquant dressing on a fresh and interesting salad....

Visited late morning, staff very welcoming, we sat outside in the in the beautiful garden, order served very promptly, the coffee, tea and cakes were delicious. The covid precautions were great allowing us to feel safe.

I've been here several times, not only for coffee but for breakfast and other meals as well. It has always been first class with friendly staff.

Friendly, helpful, excellent snadwiches, chip buttys and scones ... everyone in our party were very happy. Thank you

Fantastic cafe that accommodated a party of 7 happily. Service was excellent and the scones are the best I've had in a long time!

Lovely visit yesterday, thank you for making us scrambled egg and salmon when we had missed the breakfast menu. It was a treat. Loved the garden too.

Excellent cuppa before setting out on a 9 mile walk. Lovely staff, lovely garden complete with noisy cockerel, dog friendly. So good, we went again after the walk.

Just WOW! Ordered a afternoon tea for two via Facebook messenger, great communication from the staff member that dealt with my request. I gave a rough estimated time of arrival and I didn't expect to have a table reserved for me which was a nice...

Breakfast was delicious no better way to start the day!! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Lovely village

Huge 'Thank you' to the staff at the Aisseford Tea Room - great food, lovely environment, and excellent staff. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our quick stop for a hot snack and coffee. I had a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows as it was sunny but chilly. The staff are super nice, the garden so pleasant and not too busy. We were able to keep...

In short, this tea room is fantastic. If you prefer a more detailed description here it is. Most tea rooms in England have a certain charm to them and some are grand because they are long established or have a famous reputation. This tea room...

Popped in here whilst on a walk on a very rainy day. Just looking for somewhere to have some tea and cake, warm up and go to the toilet. It was perfect for this. Menu for lunches and breakfast looked nice, I just had a...

I needed to purchase a few items to take with me on my walk so I called in to this tea room at the start of my day out. The service was reasonable and I bought a meat pastie and two white chocolate topped flapjacks...
