Gardener's Retreat in North East Derbyshire

Love having eats here, never a bad one yet had a small problem with toilet facilities.... told member of staff on cafe till NOTHING TO DO WITH ME spoke to a manager on way out, shocked at response

Rude staff. Bad attitude when they made an error in serving 1 meal not 2. Ruined lunch. What I had to do to be served my meal, terrible taking my mum there who Id not seen for some time to have a ruined trip. A blonde ponytailed 55+ waitress was arrogant. I had to ask another lady for my meal whilst my mother had eaten hers on her own. Not nice. Ruined day. Last visit!! Bad service! Have staff with manners.

Breakfast was 10/10 and Lunch was 9/10. To bring my dog was great too. Best breakfast ever had. Outside area nice to sit out. Conservatory with a dog. Great

Was more miss than hit. Lasagne was ok but the garlic ciabatta was like a soggy sponge, it really needed toasting. Both burgers didn’t have burger bun tops, they all had bun bottoms (guessing the tops got burnt) and the beef burger tasted so fatty like it had been deep fried. Wasted best part of £40 tbh. Will return for cake and coffee but no other food.

Walked a loop from Highoredish to Riber and back. Very glad to see this lovely garden centre cafe. An excellent pot of tea, really good gammon with all the trimmings, and a delicious slice of cake to finish. Definitely hit the spot. Lovely outdoor seating area and dog friendly.
