Beaumonts Cafe & Bar in Derbyshire Dales

We visited asked if still serving, we were lead to smallest part of the seating area near kitchen , we are not small people ( children) , and seating was very tight, we felt in the way of others. 1st impression menu on a scruff sheet of paper, menu not laid out clearly, smell of burning food oil like a greasy cafe smell. Tried to order several options off the menu all sold out even jacket potatoes? ( jacket potatoes simple you’d have thought ) the company only serve until 3 pm on a busy Saturday in November. Ordered a pot of tea took a while to come was then told no sugar they’d ran out ? I prefer a sweet tea so refused the tea they took it away then brought same tea back to me with 2 little sugar packets they’d scrapped up from somewhere ! No thank I said, and so asked for exchange to hot chocolate ( the cup could not have been smaller I’d been happy with more hot water in the drink ) they did not seem happy to oblige. I ordered a cheese and tuna melt it was the worse ever, the tuna appeared to be straight out of tin then smeared on the bread, the small pot of coleslaw appeared shop brought terrible . Food well over priced very disappointing we will not be returning. While waiting I looked a round the place it looked scruffy ( could not leave as we’d paid ) there were Halloween decs still up ? Why there was plenty of staff but we had a poor service. On leaving we were polite but felt staff appeared sarcastic as all their eyes appeared to be on us, staff ‘s farewell did not feel nice. Some advice be nice good customer service goes along way.

Nice atmosphere, polite staff. Amazing jacket potato! Huge generous portion, large nicely cooked potato with generous portion of toppings, including coleslaw, crisps and salad! Great value for money.

We walked past this place and the cakes looked amazing and hypnotised us in. As soon as we got in we were greeted and seated. Lovely varied menu and the food arrived quickly and was hot. I had the Full Monty breakfast and it was great. I asked for an extra sausage for the dog and they popped it in a bowl, served to the dog, without asking. Really superb. I see some people moaning about the prices. Do they give the food away? No. If you want boring everyday junk, go to a dirty old Costa, there’s one 100m away. Well done all.

Called in for a late breakfast, bap was full of filling and very tasty washed down with a good cup of coffee and followed that with a piece of yummy cake to follow, very friendly staff with quick service.

As first timers in Ashbourne, we looked around for somewhere for a light lunch which looked a bit different. This place had a quirky interior & the food in the window looked homemade so we opted to eat here. I have to say, the food was lovely & the portions were large too so it was very good value for money. We were sat down at one of the back tables with the tall seats & the foul language we heard from female staff behind the partition was disgusting. F…ing & blinding within ear shot of people eating, luckily there were no young children in at the time. Customer Service was pretty poor & all three young girls we encountered both when we paid, at the table & on leaving couldn’t muster up a smile between them, they just looked like they didn’t want to be there. Sadly it was the staff on this visit which let the place down for us as everything else was lovely.

Nice food but all overpriced 2 adults had jackets pots & kids shared a pizza & fries 2 small lattes & 2 milkshakes cost £52 the fries alone were £5.75 ! 1 staff member was rude when we tried to justify the price

Cramped tables. Surly waiting staff. Terrible food, overcooked chips and cremated onion rings. Not a pleasant experience.

Disgraceful service from the blonde waitress this evening. Rude and downright aggressive, myself and the surrounding tables were gobsmacked witnessing her behaviour to another customer. Cocktails great value but unfortunately will not be returning.

Will NEVER be returning. The most rudest staff member I’ve ever had in my life, not sure of her name but she had blonde hair. Cocktail arrives with a dead fly in it, I asked the waitress nicely if I can have a fresh one as this had a dead fly in it, she looked at me in discust and said ‘you want a whole fresh one making!?’ And stormed off. I wasn’t sure if she had heard me correctly so when she returned I said ‘sorry but there was a dead fly in the other one?’ she then replied ‘we wouldn’t have served you a drink with a dead fly in it!!! It must have flew in when it was at the table!!’ Safe to say, I won’t be returning again…. nice cocktails though, minus the fly 🪰

40 minutes is just too long to wait for a snack. We were told AFTER order placed may be up to 30 mins but was 40 mins. It is not on. Obviously need a bigger kitchen or simpler menu. Ready prepared sandwiches sold on the counter may be a good idea.

Amazing home made scone. Will only ever have home made and often have too much bicarbonate but this was perfect. Will definitely drop in again when passing this way

Great cocktail’s and service, enjoyed a lovely early evening drinks and chat with friends, get there early for happy hour!

Awesome cafe. The service was good. You order at the counter with your table number. The staff are warm And welcoming. The food looked amazing. We just had drinks because we had been for lunch already. We had an awful lunch in Ashbourne but wished we had come here. We will 100% be back. Loved it. Great atmosphere too

When we’re in Ashbourne it’s now a permanent thing to go and have lunch here. The Pork Yorkshire Pudding Wrap was once again superb. I think it may have changed ownership since we came last but the quality of food and service certainly hasn’t dropped.

Amazing customer service and food I had the cauliflower and cheese soup and my sister had full English very filling and beautiful little set up would highly recommend the front of house lady dark with glasses is lovely!

We had a really good lunch here - a pork Yorkshire pudding wrap, a beef Yorkshire pudding wrap, a fishfinger bap and a kids meal. The meat was fantastic, and accompanied by gravy. Very filling. Good hot chocolates too. The staff were lovely and happy to help. We'll definitely back!

On the way to a celebration weekend we stopped off in Ashbourne for a wander round and a snack. We came across this place and my Husband went in to ask if they allowed dogs, which they did. They seated us & the dog out the back, which was fine. Lunch: Jacket potato with cheese x2; Porky Yorkie x1 Drinks: Lattes x3 Jacket potatoes came on a plate filled with lots of cheese, crisps and salad. We were not expecting such a plateful, which was delicious and hot potatoes. My Father-in-law said his porky yorkie was very tasty. Delicious food and great value for money. Good service.

A delightful little tearoom with the potential for greatness….thats where it ends! Firstly, we were told the specials which sounded yummy. We were then delivered our drinks, to which the waitress put her thumb in the cream. We laughed (thank goodness it wasn’t Covid). Onwards and upwards! We ordered around 12:10 - 2 x soups + scones and 1 x porky wrap! 10 mins later we were told no soup left (remember this is 12:10)…..no issue, the fact they run out fast may show how good the food is! The waitress then came to our table and said we had to queue to reorder the replacements (eye roll from me….), I head to the queue. Top marks as our original host tells me to come to the front hoorah!! New order - 1x jacket Coranation chicken and 1 x bacon roll. 5 mins later, embarrassed host comes to the table….we have no pork for the wrap, will you have beef? 🙄🙄🙄 And so we wait….not for long because speed of serve was amazing! Out comes the wrap yum, the jacket and Coranation yay….just wait for the bacon bap…..hoorah it’s here….no….its a jacket with two strips of bacon on the top! Oh man - more eye rolls! That goes back with the waitress to be replaced with the butty we asked for….oh and a fork as the cutlery was a pile of spoons for the soup they ran out of. And wait for the fork….and wait….and the butty arrives but no fork…..and wait….hoorah it arrives!! Let’s eat!! Food was plentiful, but the jacket and chicken was so so salty….it was nice but too salty for my taste. So, after that we go to pay and are asked how it was…. “Disastrous” I reply…. “What could go wrong went wrong”. Now - this is the chance to redeem themselves with a 10% off next visit or complimentary cake…..what we actually received was “Well I’ve only just started my shift”. We laughed, we left….we won’t return! To our original host….we know you tried bless you! There needs to be more communication and customer service needs to be increased! This story would have a happier ending if we had been given that extra bit of care, but sadly we won’t recommend this place and won’t be back… Oh - and TURN YOUR HEATING ON…..every customer was sat in their coats because it was soooo cold!

I really meant to write a review last time we called in here earlier this year and then typically forgot… but I’m going to rectify that right now. I can’t praise this eatery enough; quick service, staff can’t do enough, the food is terrific and the soundtrack to the place ain’t bad either! This time we had two of the meat cobs and just those filled us up… and the gravy was brilliant - just how we like it. Would have dearly loved to have finished it off with a cake but just to full… maybe next time (and there will be a next time).

We called for a snack type Lunch,we had a breakfast bap and Egg Benedict both were very tasty and well cooked. Other food which came out of the kitchen all looked very good.

Greeted at the door by some very friendly and welcoming staff, quickly shown to a table and drinks followed. Very good menu choice but we went with something off the specials board and followed it with a good chunk of cake, no complaints here it was lovely.

As a resident of Ashbourne I decided to visit Beaumonts and was very surprised and disappointed to read in small print at the bottom of their menu, that there was an extra charge for both decaffeinated coffee and non dairy milk. I have been to most of the cafes in Ashbourne and this extra charge for a decaf drink does not apply. Come on Beaumonts stop fleecing the public! I won’t be visiting you again in the near future.

The photo should tell the reader all they need to know. We ordered food and drinks. When the drinks arrived the server presented the card reader for us to pay for everything upfront. The photo of my brie and cranberry sandwich is after I had tried to bites. It tasted like an untasty jam sandwich . The cranberry sauce had already soaked into the bread when it arrived. I opened the intouched half to take the photo to show the small amount of brie included. I was so disgusted I couldn't be bothered to converse with whoever thought this was acceptable in terms of presentation or taste.

We’ve been here many times (as a couple and with our young daughter too) and the food is always incredible. Sometimes there is a slight wait for food but this is to be expected when everything is fresh. Between us we’ve had sandwiches, full breakfasts, eggs Benedict, paninis, flatbread specials and more and would recommend it all! Service is always good, the outside area is lovely on a nice day and there always seems to be a huge selection of cakes. See you again soon!

Not the best experience we have had, the place seemed rather dirty, just needed a good fresh clean in my opinion. Food and service was average. Asked for a cheese & tomatoe roll , it was mainly butter and thick cheese slice type cheese . I had to scrape the butter off the roll before I could start eating, I only ate a few mouth fulls and left it as it was just dry and the cheese was awful, we were placed in a room at the back of the venue as we had 2 dogs but it was next to the toilets which was so off putting. No staff around to speak to either overall a bad experience. Left rather promptly and rather hungry

Well I think they have a captive audience on a Sunday morning. Went in as not many eateries open for breakfast. £3.99 for one toasted tea cake!

Called in at Beaumont's for tea and cakes. The staff were very friendly. the service was good and efficient, a lovely display of cakes and pastries. We enjoyed our choices. Nice traditional tea room. Would definitely revisit.

Went here for lunch, looked at the menu, Asked for jacket potatoes was told they had none, so decided on the soup, again they didn’t have any, so because I cannot eat bread we just had a coffee as there was only pizza, sandwiches or rolls. Whilst we sat there we saw a salad go to a table, so asked what the salad was, and there was a choice of cheese and tomato or cheese and onion, £10 each all but 5p, so we asked for one of each, then was told there was no more cheese and tomato. So we went with cheese and onion, it was awful!! The pastry was thin, hard and burnt and the onion was anaemic it was obviously put into the quiche without frying first, and I was sure they said cheese but I couldn’t taste cheese. We are camping in the area so was looking forward to a good meal. Not once did anyone come and ask if everything was ok, my hubby was going to say something but I said I didn’t want the hassle and he had given the pastry to our dog.

Such a lovely place and very dog friendly. We were invited to sit anywhere we liked and were shown a doggy room which was perfect for us and our pooch. The outside terrace looked lovely but the dark clouds didn't... The room had a bowl...

Lovely outside space with shade. Breakfast bun was very good. But sorry £6 for chikdrens beans on toast 1 slice is very expensive

Popped in today. It’s a nice day so asked to sit outside. We were initially told there was no room outside and were shown to a tiny table squashed against a wall in a busy corridor used by staff to wait on the tables on...

We visited the cafe late in the afternoon and were greeted by friendly staff even though it was close to closing time. The food was very generously portioned and good value. I left my wallet in the cafe and spent a worrying night cancelling credit...

Popped into this cafe restaurant had a very nice lunch in the garden terrace,staff were lovely very helpful and friendly definitely recommend

If you are perusing the menu outside as you have a dairy or gluten allergy, don't be fooled by the helpful sounding "please ask a member of staff" displayed on a sign in the window. After queueing to get in (the people in front turned...

We were in Ashbourne just browsing and then looking for somewhere to lunch. Stumbled across this quaint lovely cafe. We were welcomed by Caz who was very accommodating in dealing with our requests for a table. The menu is good wholesome food ranging from Jacket...

We went for a family meal here this afternoon. We stumbled upon this gem of a place on a little visit to Ashbourne. The food was fabulous - the pizzas are incredible! The hidden outdoor seating area at the back was gorgeous. We absolutely loved...

The staff are lovely, attentive, always kind despite the busy nature of this homely cafe. The cafe is dog friendly which is a must for Ashbourne as we get many hikers and general visitors to our town. The coffee and cakes are just lovely and...

Absolutely amazing food, staff and value for money. My go to cafe always and there are plenty to choose from.

Came for lunch with my family who often use this cafe as they’re local. Arrived at 14:30 and were told that we had until 15:00 to order. One of my party ordered pizza to share with her little girl and when it came out it...

We went here today and my daughter in law didn’t realise the baguette was warm and asked if she could change it.The man who dealt with this wasn’t particularly nice about it and made us feel awkward about the situation but the menu didn’t specify...

Really disappointing experience visiting Beaumonts with my family for lunch. After mentioning my son's peanut allergy we were advised that the breads contain all nuts and peanuts! When asked which nuts, the elderly gentleman serving us re-stated all nuts. This seemed somewhat improbable and so...

Brilliant cafe! Firstly, the food is lovely - we had Nutella pancakes and they were out of this world. Secondly, really importantly, the staff were very welcoming of us and our twin babies. It's hard to relax when you've got small children, but the staff...

Visited today on a busy Saturday lunchtime. The food was fine, although I felt one small oatcake with a bit of melted cheddar cheese on it was a bit pricey at £7. I know there is a cafe up the road that does a similar...

Excellent service, very friendly and accommodating. Food of a very high standard. Good sized portions and varied choice on menu.

We called In yesterday after being recommended to us, totally disappointed! had to wait so long for food and it wasn’t very good when it arrived, won’t be visiting again and certainly won’t be recommending!

Lovely place to eat but unfortunately the ventilation is terrible. For the whole day we smelt liked we'd been cooking in the kitchen... Surely this isn't allowed in a food area

What a fantastic find, we had proper cooked jacket potatoes which were huge! Everything was home made , big portions, great service, I wish we lived nearby, thank you x

Warm and welcoming. We enjoyed a quality full English breakfast, and a jacket potato cooked to perfection. Fresh, delicious and good quality all served with a smile.

Stopped in on a Sunday with our dog. Had 2 Yorkshire pudding wraps and they were brilliant. Everyone was really friendly, our dog even got some free snacks :) all really clean and a nice atmosphere! Thanks!

Visited here for lunch, & was very impressed. Food choices very good, we sat outside on the Decked area, which has been thoughtfully constructed. Staff are really pleasant, & attentive. Really do recommend this place.

You could eat in part of the cafe with the dogs but we decided to eat outside. There was lots of shelter so it was fine even though it was raining. Lunch was lovely so we came back later for dessert. We all enjoyed our...

I met my friend for coffee today at Beautmonts and it was amazing. Service was great and we sat outside on the terrace which was lovely and sunny - divine. Cakes we amazing, homemade in the cafe which is wonderful. Would definitely go again.

Lovely coffee and cream scone here today, even a designated area for customers with dogs. Lots of cakes and panninis etc

An unplanned visit while shopping in Ashbourne & we were not disappointed. A relatively small menu but fine for our requirements. The ham/cheese & brie/bacon paninis were fully packed with filling & the salad was fresh/tasty. Service was excellent & the staff very friendly. We...

A party of 11 of us went here for my son's 30th birthday breakfast. As there were very few vegetarian options on the menu (which seemed very limited anyway) we asked if we could just have fried egg on toast, as this was included as...

Unexpected stop whilst walking around Ashbourne and glad we did. Very pleasant & friendly staff, we both had paninis which were filled generously and well presented, good selection of cakes & nice decor.

Stopped for lunch whilst driving back from Birmingham to the North. Had a lovely panini and the best hot chocolate I have had in a long time! The staff were lovely and friendly. We will definitely be returning.

A fab find! We visited a few weeks ago and have visited a few times previously after being recommended this lovely little cafe! They have a dog friendly room and our border collie loves a trip here! Staff are so friendly and the food is...

Called in for breakfast with my wife today there was no breakfast option on the menu so should have left there and then. To be fair the young waiter was brilliant but what was served was nothing other than a rip off!!! My wife had...

What a wonderful and cosy little cafe! The staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful, and the cakes.... YUM!!!!!! A perfect pit stop for our day trip ☺

We came here on a busy Sunday morning… there were four of us and we all had completely different things to eat. A yorky wrap, pancakes, oat cakes and a chicken baguette . So much choice- all great quality and so tasty. The service was...

We decided to give Beaumonts a try & certainly weren't disappointed. All 3 of us had a bacon, brie & cranberry panini & enjoyed them, as they were made fresh with everything cooked to perfection. I can certainly vouch for their coffee, as my Latte...

I cannot speak too highly of this establishment. Speedy, clean and efficient service, polite and friendly staff, absolutely top-class food. The delicious warm chicken, cranberry and stuffing brown sandwich was without doubt the best I have ever tasted. No other cafe in Ashbourne stands a...

Friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Staff were very polite. Tables spotless. We placed our order and didn't have to wait long. My husband had bakewell tart and pot of tea, nice to see proper tea cups being used. I ordered tuna and...

Stopped for lunch on a busy Sunday afternoon, staff very friendly , food served promptly and delicious.

Well laid out and spotlessly clean cafe/bar with a great feel to it with wonderful happy staff and they all had that all important smile when dealing with customers. Lunch time visit, very good menu choice and the cakes just looked fabulous, we shared a...

We were looking for somewhere in the town to get a light lunch and came across Beaumonts on the High street. We didn't want to sit inside so initially dismissed this cafe but after talking to a member of staff they showed us an excellent,...

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Kids loved the special hot chocolate and paninis, the peak pasty was tasty and the quiche was lovely. Everything served with salad and crisps. Friendly service, clean and comfortable surroundings nicely located in the centre of town for some...

We had a lovely afternoon at Beaumonts with family. We sat outside on the terrace and it was really nice. We had scones, ice cream, teas and coffees. Staff were friendly and attentive!

We popped in on the off chance of being seated for a few drinks and a sweet treat and we were so glad we did. Such a warm Welcome, very Covid efficient and clean and they had the best menu. My 2 young girls enjoyed...

We visited this Cafe whilst walking around Ashbourne. Customer service was exceptional, The Staff were all so pleasant and accommodating . We had afternoon, the scones were moreish and the environment is unique. Visiting this Cafe was a lovely experience.

We went in for coffee and cakes as we love to support the independent businesses and we were not disappointed. The coffee was great with beans being supplied from a local business. Not sickly creamy or tangy gritty like some. The cakes were delicious. I...
