Alfreton House Tearooms in Amber Valley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Very welcoming warm cafe. Quick service. Piping hot coffee, and beans on toast. Delicious scone. A great stop off on way to Leeds

This was our first trip and certainly won’t be our last! We went for our son’s birthday and enjoyed the traditional afternoon tea and the ploughman’s afternoon tea.What a treat! The food was amazing and plentiful at such a reasonable price! Give this place a try!

Lovely tea rooms, very friendly. This was our second visit, we have now been for both lunch and breakfast. Will definitely be a regular place for us as we have family nearby. Was great with our little one as well, no judgement when she was being a little loud playing and staff super friendly.

Called in for lunch when passing through Alfreton. Very friendly and welcoming proprietor. Excellent food at very resonable prices and a proper pot of tea. The panini with salad is bigger than you might expect! Thank you for a good lunch.

We have never had an afternoon tea from Alfreton House Tearooms before and were.looking forward to it. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and they cater for all/most people. Even though I was dairy free, there was a healthy choice of savouries and sweets. We were impressed.

Thank you Michelle for looking after us we really enjoyed our afternoon tea. The brownies were delicious we even took some home 😊 We will be back.

We came here yesterday, six of us to celebrate a birthday. We had a mix of traditional afternoon tea and winter ones. Mine was gluten free and amazing. Sandwiches, crisps, salad, scone with clotted cream and jam, carrot cake, lemon drizzle cake and rocky Road served with a massive pot of tea, all for 12 pounds. Can't rave about this place enough. The staff were fabulous.

Delicious Afternoon Tea. You get a choice of cake, which is great - much better than when just given any. Staff are fantastic, welcoming and friendly. The tearooms are cute but smaller than I expected. Make sure you book beforehand or you’d be disappointed. Parking right by here so great for those with limited mobility. Will look forward to a return visit!

What a lovely little tearoom. We saw the autumn afternoon tea advertised £10 in September. £12 after. Definitely worth the money. A choice of toasted sandwiches, 2 soups to choose from, salad, crisps,cheese scone and a choice of cake. All well presented. The scone and cake were very fresh. Will definitely return. I would advise booking as it’s not a big place

Friendly and welcoming staff, the table area is and cosy, the afternoon tea was first rate the sandwiches and cakes all tasted fresh and presented beautifully, and at £10 per head absolute value for money highly recommended and will definitely return

The food and choices were very good. Couple of points to the restaurant though. Everything was brought out together I.e. toasted sandwich, soup, scone, cake and hot drink However, by the time we had eaten the sandwich the soup was only lukewarm and the hot drink was the same. We were going to ask for another drink and pay extra for it but they were getting ready to close. It would have been better if they had brought out them separately. Some of the toasties could be dipped in the soup but tuna ? No way.

We ordered a number of takeaway afternoon teas back in March of this year which were excellent. A great selection of sandwiches, scones & cakes. We picked up another one today which again was brilliant. Highly recommended and well worth a visit (or takeaway).

Had ordered a takeaway Sunday lunch today. We are usually a restaurant worse nightmare as my partner is Gluten-free and I’m vegetarian. However despite simply ordering one Sunday lunch without Yorkshire and stuffing and one without gravy we were catered and surprised on delivery for with a veg roast and gluten free Yorkshire and stuffing and gravy. Suffice to say I’ve already ordered next Sunday’s. excellent. Thank you.

What a lovely place to pop into for a drink and a snack. I had a look at the menu and decided to have a meal, instead of a snack. I choose the homemade lasagna and a hot chocolate. The meal came with coleslaw and a generous amount of salad. It was very tasty and filling. I also decided to have a take-out slice of chocolate cake for later, as I was very full! The two staff were pleasant and friendly. It was warm, clean and comfortable. I will certainly go there again if I am in Alfreton in the future. The building is an old one and very handy for the various shops in the town. Well worth a visit.

Me and my Husband had lunch today with our Daughter and Granddaughter My husband had Lasagna myself daughter & Grangaughter had jacket potato tuna & coleslaw excellent.Will definitely be going again

Great afternoon teas! Would recommend! Cakes are all homemade. Food is fresh and definitely the best afternoon tea in the area!

One if the best places for a afternoon tea been here several times and always a delicious meal highly recommend

Looking for a little treat for me and my 6 year old daughter. It was extremely easy to book a table via the fb web page. The food was lovely especially the different types of cakes although we could finish it all but was given a little takeaway bag to take out cakes with us which was great. The staff were amazing and friendly. The room was clean a cosy. We will definitely return to try the slimmers afternoon tea next time.

I've lived around alfreton for years and never knew this was here! Whilst looking for afternoon tea for another occasion i stumbled across this little gem... Wanting to check out the venue we popped in one saturday morning....we probably should have booked to ensure a seat as its quite popular but she managed to find us a seat... The choices of food were amazing... From a bacon sandwich to homity pie to everything in between with a huge amount of gluten free options too! There was an incredible selection of cakes to suit a variety of intolerances including 3 gf cakes!! The prices are incredibly good and we will definately be frequenting again soon!

This cafe is fabulous and I enjoy taking my children here for some one-on-one time. The old building it’s part of, is a nice alternative to the more modern buildings that surround it and this makes it feel even more special. We always order milkshakes which are so tasty, come in a variety of flavours (strawberry, chocolate, caramel, Oreo, to name a few), are made in front of you and at less than £2 each, they are great value for money. In the summer, there’s outdoor seating and when the weather gets colder, there’s seating indoors which is lovely and cozy. Hannah and Sara (I think they are co owners/managers) are lovely, welcoming and always happy to have a natter (if they aren’t rushed off their feet of course lol!). Overall, it’s clean, well run and is located in an amazing historic building. I would definitely recommend paying them a visit as not only is it a wonderful cafe with plenty of character but it helps to support local businesses. Ditch Costa and give Alfreton Tearooms a try!

Visited for a weekday lunch with a friend following seeing all the good reviews. Ordered the Homity Pie with salad - Piecrust/base a little soggy, Salad a little limp & Cappucino Coffee was a little weak. There were several traybakes to choose from but seeing other diners had Carrot Cake I asked for this but was told it was only available to afternoon tea diners!

This is our favourite tea room, food amazing all home made and cooked to order, afternoon teas are so delicious as well and coming up are there festive afternoon teas, winter menu now on with stew and dumplings and homaty pie both well worth trying.

I popped in here for a coffee and cake whilst making a rare visit to Alfreton. I really was pleasantly surprised. The coffee was excellent and so was the genuine home made scone served with butter. Very reasonably priced. The waitress was so polite and friendly and brought my coffee etc. outside as it was a beautiful day, nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly visit again if in the area and in need of a break. the place was spotlessly clean and well but basic furnishings.

We thought we would try something different to the traditional afternoon tea. It certainly was lovely and worth the money. Very different and a delight

Love this tea shop food so good and prepared fresh so much choice cakes scones salads jackets toasties and so much more.

We all had Panini’s which were freshly made, served with salad and crisps, for our drinks we had a Nutella milkshake, strawberry milkshake and a latte, everything was tasty and excellent value for money, we’ll definitely be returning again soon 😊

I hada nice cup off coffee here, the staff were very helpful and the palce is clean and tidy. good for a quick cuppa

Me and the mother in law went here the home made soup was lovely. A little cramped but quirky and quaint

Been for sparkling afternoon tea was lovely nice sandwiches freshly prepared scones with clotted cream and jam, and lots f homemade cakes pot of tea and sparkling drink really enjoyed it, staff really friendly and can’t do enough for you.

This place is small, friendly and great value for money. The food is very tasty and well presented and service was really quick even tho the tables were full.

Mother’s Day treat afternoon tea gift from my daughter-small but lovely little place in Alfreton. Was made to feel extremely welcome by super friendly staff. Fresh tasty sandwiches with proper chicken and ham - not wafer thin plastic rubbish, home made scones with clotted cream, fresh home made cakes, crisps, fresh crisp salad. Hot drink and a glass of elderflower wine. A typical afternoon tea but far tastier than those I’ve had elsewhere and made extra nice because the staff are so lovely. Will very definately be re-visiting for a breakfast or lunch fairly soon. Definitely recommend.

They have a good selection of food for a small tearoom, scones, jackets, sandwiches, soup and roll, tea and coffee. Plus other menus.

Like to visit here at least twic a month, food so good friendly staff, all food cooked to order and amazing afternoon teas.

Very cluttered with nick knacks - tables very close together = fridge on display from shop with shelves and food wrongly placed - does not install confidence. A lot of loud voices throughout our visit giving orders and checking - well over staffed tripping up on each other - never saw anyone wash there hands - yet staff constantly picking up food with their hands no tongues used.

Myself and husband as just had afternoon tea and it was excellent,very filling and appetising.lovely location very close to shops,

Esta es la cuarta vez que he visitado el té en el salón alfreton. Tengo que decir que la primera tres veces eran excepcionales, este es el lugar favorito de mi madre. Sin embargo, la visita de ayer no estuvo a la altura de su gloria siempre. Mientras que el personal era amable y servicial, la comida no parecía tan fresco como de costumbre (en su mayoría) y el café era demasiado fuerte para beber incluso después de dos tazas de leche. Incluso en un mal día, aunque las habitaciones té ofrecen por encima de la media. Volveremos y espero de los habituales excepcional el té de la tarde.

This place is a gem! Small & quaint, very friendly staff, excellent value for money! We had afternoon tea & also a week after our Grandaughter had her 9th birthday party there, the girls made cookie dough, decorated cakes & when rolled out decorated their cookies, the owner had so much patience & it was enjoyed by all! Highly recommend.

El personal era encantador, sin problemas.

3 de nosotros fuimos para el té de la tarde. Estábamos usando bonos como un presente de Navidad y estamos muy ansiosos. . . Fue terrible. La habitación muy pequeña estrecha estaba llena a los rápidos con desorden y estaba sucia. La comida era de muy baja calidad con tienda comprar pasteles que tenía y sabía rancio. Y todo rematado con una menta finas. . . (Una copia barata de una menta) que después de ocho a el niño pequeño sobre un cepillo abatibles sucia. Una pequeña taza espresso blanco para el té, macizos, que por cierto era 1 bolsita entre 2. Y una placa agrietada que comer en. Izquierda 2 estrellas en su sitio web con crítica constructiva, señalando lo amable que era el personal solo que me cuadra así quitar mi comentario. Sin duda nunca visite de nuevo. .

Muy acogedor con un personal amable, con una buena selección de comida y bebida. Vimos un cartel mesa reserva, así que si más de cuatro, entonces sugerimos que contacte con reservar una mesa.

Visited on the 16th December with my friend for a treat before Christmas we won't be visiting again the place needs a dam good clean a big pile of dirt left by the door from sweeping up the floor with more sweepings put on top while we was there bread for sandwiches not fresh staff presentation scruffy one member of staff with a small child in tow squealing n shouting in our opinion needs a health n safety visit this used to be a really nice place to eat so what's happened I don't know but I won't be going back to find out

Disfrutamos del té de la tarde con una tarta sentamos aunque hay dentro del ambiente relajado de estar personal muy amable

Vuelto tres veces para el té de la tarde, tanto con niños y 'adultos', a todos nos encantó. El personal aquí es muy amable y nada es demasiado problema, sin prisa, sin problemas. Una tarde realmente relajante de té :-) Gran pasteles, sándwiches y scones, y ahora he encontrado el hacer una tabla de quesos, lo que podría ser mejor. Teteras llenas de profundas recién y un ambiente encantador. La sala no es enorme, pero eso contribuye a la sensación acogedora. Espero ansioso mi próxima visita!

Hemos comido aquí antes y vi la tabla de quesos lo anuncian, así que decidimos darle una oportunidad. 6 tipo de queso, galletas, chutneys, ensalada, bollo, mermelada, crema, bebida ilimitada - lo que no gusta y a un precio muy aceptable.

Been a couple of times and tried a variety of their afternoon tea variations.Today went with a friend for the cheese platter. Six cheeses, a selection of crackers,salad, grapes a generous fruit scone with loads of clotted cream made an excellent lunch.Yes the room is small but it is cosy and nothing is too much trouble.

Unfortunately, the "Tearooms" is just one room in an old building. Tables are crammed together, and the room is also where the "cooking" is done in a microwave - hence the wait to receive your food! Service leaves a lot to be desired as does the menu! Sorry!

We visited here on an Afternoon Tea for 2 Groupon offer and were most disappointed. It looks very fine from the outside but the Tea rooms are, in fact, a tiny cafe in one corner of the building. It is cramped and everyone is sat so close together you hear each other's conversations.The food leaves much to be desired, shop bought cakes like Swiss rolls do little to impress as does the service. In addition there is a constant smell of burning which clings to your clothes after you have leftWould I recommend............well no. For £2 extra you can get a wonderful afternoon tea at Alfreton Hall which is just down the road. If there are no offers on Alfreton Hall then wait till there is!

We bought a friend a Cheese, biscuits and scones afternoon tea for Christmas. So we all went in during the recent school holidays. It was totally delicious. A lovely selection of cheeses and biscuits served with salad, pickles and crisps followed by delicious scones, butter, jam and clotted cream and served with tea or coffee. It was all delicious and our friend enjoyed her treat very much. Thank you

Nice & friendly place for a quick bite to eat, staff were friendly & polite, nice choice of food on the menu, although no option of a full English breakfast. Would pop in again for a quick drink & snack

I come here every week with a group of friends and our children after swimming. It's an amazing place and we're all made to feel very welcome even with the children, they even have another room with toys for the children to play. The food is always fantastic I've never had a bad meal here, prices are very reasonable and would highly recommend to anyone. The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help/ cater for you needs. Thankyou so very much

Not so much a tea room, more a café. Not much 'home made' in evidence. Mince pies from cash and carry or Tesco Value. Disappointing. Wont be going again.

Good atmosphere and very good value for money ! And there was plenty of food too ! Lovely place and staff too !

love this little tea room, the food is amazing, we are working our way through the menu. So much to choose from and it's all cooked fresh as you order it. Booked a special sparkling afternoon tea for our anniversary at the end of this month looking forward to that as well. Try this tea room you will be more than satisfied.

took a friend for a birthday treat. our soup of the day was awful microwaved mush served with a slice of cheap bread. latte was filter coffee with luke warm milk. table was dirty. scone was dry. staff were miserable service was very slow wouldn't go back

Very good selection, friendly staff,seen the poor reviews but could not fault on this occasion,more than enough food,very pleasant afternoon tea.

Really disappointed with this Afternoon Tea. Room was small, no background music, no atmosphere. Were given the option of 1 scone each OR a small selection of cakes. Nothing to shout or rave about. Tea / Coffee was served in black mugs, with a top up at no extra charge.One of the staff members was rally friendly, the other struggled to crack a smile.

We went here on a Groupon deal. Felt very second-rate citizens. Those without Groupon vouchers had what looked like a reasonable afternoon tea. The Groupon people got a much inferior deal. The cakes were all cheap shop bought (scones, dry chocolate cake and Swiss roll). The jam was Hartleys (ok, but not a homemade jam), the sandwiches were ok. No offer of topping up the tea (bags not leaf), and basic crockery was used. The building is lovely, but the room is small and lacked much atmosphere.

A warm greeting with very friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. We had two babies with us needing highchairs and they were very good at arranging space and giving us plenty of time.They were obviously very busy but we were constantly checked up on, and with my allergies I felt very well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble and there was plenty of choice.They warmed up my baby's meal and didn't even mind the mess we left behind.A lovely afternoon - shall definitely return!

Was here today 18th February was really nice fab choice of sandwiches and lovely cake well visit again, good services as well.
