Hackney House Cafe in North East Derbyshire

On entering we were met by the very friendly staff who took us to our table(booking in advance is a must). I chose the regular Steak, ale and mushroom pie which was served with mash, broccoli and carrots. The gravy I must say was delicious and complemented the meal perfectly. This portion of pie was huge and many guests around me doubted I'd finish it(I did!) I can thoroughly recommend a visit to this cafè with the friendly atmosphere and tasty fayre.

Nice cafe with nice food and a good view, just a nice place to eat with a good atmosphere

Excellent meeting place for friends from Sheffield Chesterfield and matlock this beautiful cafe warm and Welcoming and staff always polite and efficient and delicious food x

Excellent food. Service can be a bit disorganised/slow at times.

Love this place. Great choice of food at very competitive prices

What a wonderful find. Beautiful friendly cafe, the food is amazing. Well worth a visit

Amazing little gem lovely coffee cake and home made Savouries after a dog walk

Was really nice but for 2 bacon sandwiches 1 tea 1 cappuccino and 2 sausage rolls £19

Fantastic cafe serving absolutely wonderful food. It’s one of my favourite local places to visit for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. The service is great with friendly local staff 👍🏻😊

Lovely freshly cooked small fried breakfast. Others had scone or cake, both very good and tasty. Very pleasant staff, helpful and apologised for food coming before drinks

Came across this Beautiful little cafe Table service very friendly and helpful staff Coffee and cakes was great Definitely will be returning

I visited here on a Friday morning for a bit of breakfast it’s a lovely cafe in a nice village location the staff were lovely the coffee was nice I had the scrambled egg on toast which was not the best I’ve had from a cafe and also found a bit of eggshell in it too I’d go for a coffee but wouldn’t eat there again also found it a bit expensive compared to other countryside cafes in area

What a beautiful place for a great coffee and cake, set in a gorgeous town. The service here was outstanding and everyone was so friendly. The coffee was great so was the bakewell tart 😋

Beautiful location great food professional staff

Fabulous every time we visit. Lovely outdoor sun terrace with canopy for shade. Great service and food. Definitely recommend the little veggie hackney breakfast not so little.

What an absolutely lovely place this is, we came here after visiting Barlows Sunflower fields. I had the cherry and almond scone with clotted cream and jam, apparently the owner had been there at 6.30am making them. It was absolutely delicious. My husband had the sausage roll and loved it, would definitely recommend this cafe

What a lovely place. The homemade sausage roll was sensational . One of the very best I've ever had and I've had a lot ! So tasty that I bought another and a quiche to take away. Lovely staff as well.

Superb food. Lovely staff. Love this place.

We only bought bread and a pie from the shop, VERY NICE popping back before leaving for more. Cafe was also busy.

Visited on a busy Sunday morning (day of the open gardens), but had booked a table for the 5 of us. Great service here, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are genuinely pleasant to speak to, despite being so busy! Heather was very welcoming and recommended the scrambled eggs and they did not dissapoint! Lovely shop adjoining the cafe with take away treats and some lovely gifts/cards. Well worth a visit, but booking is advised.

Not dog friendly. Landed up here under false pretences. Parking also very awkward.

Really disappointing service. We'd booked a table for 14.30. I appreciate it was very busy but we didn't get seated and served until 15.00, to be told that they were no longer serving food and it was only cakes and drinks. My husband clarified when booking the table that it was lunch that we were after. Can't help feel that if the service was more prompt we'd still be in time scales for lunch. We went elsewhere ☹️

EXCELLENT ! We had the pleasure of visiting Hackney House for Afternoon Tea, which was a gift. Once again HH provided a memorable occasion. Everything from entering the premises to leaving was perfect. The staff were welcoming and attentive throughout our visit. As usual the food was extremely well presented, plentiful and delicious. Everything is home made. The afternoon was sunny and warm so we were able to sit outdoors in extremely pleasant surroundings. We have visited HH many times in the past and can honestly say we have enjoyed every single visit. It is always a bonus to be able to buy their homemade pies, quiches cakes, etc. Thank you Kathryn and Team.

Absolute gem of a place. Visited many times during the week we were there on holiday. Fabulous food cooked and served by lovely people.

Good home made produce. Garden seating at the back and seats at the front of cafe. Disliked bikes being put near steps to garden. Safety risk. Loyalty card for hot drinks. Best to book. Another visit. Loyalty card no longer available. Cafeterie for two quite small. Lovely cheese scones . Gets very busy. Best to book a table. Outdoor seating available.Return visit June 2024- good strength coffee in a cafeterie. The sizes of these vary. Lemon and blueberry scones very good. Would have liked a cheese scone but these were described as fiery with chilli. Would have liked a choice of just cheese. Recommend still to book.

My first time at the delightful Hackney House Cafe, what a treat! I had the American pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Light and fluffy - delicious! All washed down with a very aromatic Earl Grey tea. Absolutely beautiful . Will definitely be coming again. Well worth a visit. Book a table so you’re not disappointed 😃👍

My first visit yesterday to this hidden gem was very impressive. The food is excellent, fresh and tasty. I had poached egg on toast and it was cooked to perfection. The slice of lemon meringue was freshly made, in fact it had just come out of the oven. The service and staff are great. I was so impress that I’ve booked to visit again next week. I will recommend a visit

This is the third time we have visited Hackney House where our reservation has not been available when we arrived. What is not helpful in this type of situation, is the total lack of acknowledgment by any of the staff that we were there. We asked two of the staff about out reservation and were told they would check, without any feedback! Finally we were told that our table would be available soon. The first time this happened we had to wait nearly half an hour, the second time we walked out after 10 minutes. Whereas today, enough was enough, and we left. The food has always been good, however the service is abysmal, especially as we have made a 25 mile round trip to eat there!

Met my old school friend who I haven’t seen for years for breakfast. We both had a full English which was a definite crowd pleaser. It was delicious and I didn’t eat another thing all day. The staff were warm and friendly and made our reunion a great one. We’ve pencilled in another get together and will be back soon

Really lovely place to meet up with friends, great food and fab surroundings. Very courteous and helpful staff

Excellent place , friendly staff and food splendid.

Just had to do a review after visiting Hackney House Cafe today 23 April 2024. The food was absolutely lovely as always but the standard of greeting and service was so disappointing. On arrival at lunchtime we were just left standing in the doorway with no greeting or apology and felt as though we were invisible. 4 members of staff just walked past us and completely ignored us. All we required was some form of recognition that we were present and perhaps someone saying “sorry be with you shortly”. One member of staff actually pushed past us to go into the adjoining shop. After getting slightly annoyed we made our presence known and were told “ There’s a table up there on the right” We were then in my opinion deliberately kept waiting ages and had to get menus from another table in order to select our lunch. Needless to say it took forever for our food to arrive, but on a good point it was very nice. Three extremely loud ladies were seated next to us , not eating or drinking throughout our lunch ! So we were very eager to eat up and leave the uncomfortable surroundings. When it came to payment at the till we were nearly charged for food we had not ordered. And the lady on the till was extremely rude having ongoing conversations with another employee whilst taking our payment. There appeared to be an air of arrogance today and it left us extremely disappointed

Lovely little cafe mid bike ride. Try the cake!

Good place to meet up with friends.

Wonderful cafe, incredible baked goods and they can do a proper flat white (with oat milk too). Outdoor seating gets morning sunshine. Good for a stop on the way to the Peaks.

Amazing breakfast, lovely surroundings, friendly staff

A lovely Mother's day lunch. Couldn't fault anything. Would recommend the meat and potato pie and the Sunday roast.

Really nice menu. We had chicken pie and veg. However, the service seemed a bit slow considering the place wasn't full at the time, but that might be because everything is freshly cooked. The only drawback for me is the lack of parking. There is on street parking but there's a church next door so if there's a service on there then its a trek back up the road to the cafe. I have mobility problems so it was a bit of an issue for me.

Took our mum for a cream tea for her birthday. Lovely attentive staff who were able to cater for a veggy, a non fish eater and a no problems eater. Great selection of delicious cakes and staff happily topped up our tea and milk. Great value for money as well. We saw the main meals coming out and thought they looked amazing. We would definitely recommend and are going back.

Lovely atmosphere, a little snug but the food and service more than makes up for that! Rhubarb pudding was to die for 🫠

My first visit for lunch with a friend. We had quiche & salad. Beautiful xx

Very great quality - live near by and will certainly be visiting again and highly recommend.

Lovely little cafe. We were seated straight away, but later arrivals were having to wait a short while. Definitely worth a short wait, or you can pre-book. Soup and cheese scone were delicious. Scone crispy on outside but moist in middle. The chocolate brownie I had was also excellent. Will denifitely call again.

Travelled from Sheffield on the 28th Dec after checking online you were open only to find the establishment closed. Very disappointed.

All wonderful....apart from fact they dont do chips.

Top quality veggie breakfast at a fair price, nice coffee to go with it too.

Only went to take out counter so can't comment on the restaurant. Take out food excellent.

Lovely coffee and scone. Interesting variety of scone flavours.

Lovely little place. Proper homemade food and cakes. Great service and atmosphere. The meat and potato pie in particular was amazing, I could eat that every day.

I would like to say I am extremely disappointed in the service we got today 15.10.23. We walked in with 2 adults and 2 children . I’ve asked the lady if we can get a table she said only outside straight away . She did look to see if we can get inside then she said it’ll be around 40 min wait, however a gentleman walked in and asked for a seating for 3 adults and I could see the women moving away from me so we don’t see her talking. I waited to see what she said, as I could tell straightaway she turned us around but she told the gentleman to come back in 10 min. I think it’s utterly ridiculous to send family With children away but completely acceptable to say yes to just grown ups. I was going to say something while I waited to see what happened but it got busy and I didn’t want to stop the rest of the customers. Very disappointed and I will be speaking about this experience to friends and family.

We’ve eaten here many times before and the food has always been good unfortunately today the food was bland and tasteless , I had quiche salad and hard undercooked potatoes, we did inform the waitress but nothing was done about it . The chocolate cheesecake was very good though! When we we’re leaving the waitresses came over and sarcastically asked if we were staying for breakfast!!!! It was busy and the service was very slow .

We stayed above in a lovely flat, with amazing bed and dog 🐕 friendly. Breakfast in the cafe was wonderful, and a lovely view down the valley from outside.

This is a lovely cafe, with a small gift shop. If the weather is good there are nice countryside views if you sit outside. The menu is varied and good value. The food is freshly made and delicious. The choice of cakes is good and the scones are scrumptious. We always find the staff to be very friendly and service excellent.

A friend took me there fir a birthday treat, had a nice gluten free breakfast smoked salmon &poached egg also nice coffee. 👍

Excellent food, good value, great staff, great location

What a wonderful place, Lisa & all of the fabulous friendly staff and the food...wow.. this place is Simply the Best

No complaints at all, great food and coffee served really quickly.

Thank you so much for the delicious veggie breakfast yesterday and the kindness of your staff. You were just so lovely with my daughter who they could see was visibly upset and tearful! A special thank you too for the lovely gent who lives in Australia and his family for their thoughtfulness and extreme kindness. Such lovely people that really helped to make our day a little bit better❤️

Surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon but that was probably due to the men's tennis final at Wimbledon. Good coffee and scone at a reasonable price.

Foods awesome, coffee’s great and the girls are pretty. Big thumbs up from me

Great place, friendly staff and amazing food, it also has a small shop for takeaways

Awsome food, proper well made bakes and fantastic service highly recommend 👌

Very enjoyable, The staff were very pleasant.

Good service and very sound full english breakfast. Nice flat white too. Lots of reserved tables but we were lucky enough to get a table for 4 just turning up at 11

Very good cafe, friendly staff. Quality cake/scone array.

First time I've been but definitely will be going again. Absolutely excellent.

Stopped for a sausage roll and cheese scone. Oh and a cake! All was lovely. Nice and clean and staff pleasent.

Best home cooked cakes and food in this area

Food was great. Not very warm in conservatory.

Excellent food, friendly obliging staff, tempting cakes and pies to takeaway. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and service and a beautiful location. The cherry and almond scone was delicious!

Excellent steak and Stilton pie. Puddings looked really good but too full!

Lovely mini breakfast. Just right for small appetites.

3 stars as we love the food and location, the staff however need to brush up on their customer service skills. We have been here quite a few times and have never had a pleasant member of staff serve us. We will continue to go as it’s our choice to….we enjoy the walk. We are prepared for the poor staff service, it will be an added bonus if we do ever encounter a friendly member of staff!

Sunday Roast + Pud, both excellent! Very busy, so it was the day for a leisurely meal, which is what we were after. Eat inside, out the front, or on the rear courtyard. Not sure if the cafe is licenced for alcohol.

The last time I went here was 35 years ago for family Christmas meals. The fantastic home made food is taken to the next level with great service and cosy setting. They still have a great selection of puddings. The chocolate orange bread and butter pudding was amazingly light and very moreish. The conversion of the gift shop into a bakery is just what it needed. Signature scones were fab.

Lovely clean place can recommend the food 😋

Very friendly staff and the food was lovely with good sized portions. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Delicious cakes and good coffee, a nice little local spot.

One of the cutest little places in Chesterfield. Friendly staff, set in beautiful surroundings. Food is all freshly made, cakes are delicious. Also some gorgeous gift items for sale in the gift shop.

Great staff and a lovely location to enjoy a coffee.

Very good my wife and I were taken for lunch for her 80th Birthday the food was excellent and the lemon meringue was out of the world.

Building - lovely Staff - very friendly Food - amazing Would highly recommend!

This place has got better for sure. Love popping in for decent coffee and a bagel - Great selection of cakes, pastries 👍🏼

Lovely setting food Excellent. Home made cakes and pudding plus various breads

Breakfast was amazing all cooked to perfection the staff are so friendly and helpful scones and pies are also amazing will be going back next Sunday.

Excellent service very frendley

Fantastic breakfast and friendly service 👌

Delicious food. Great choices of lighter lunches or a larger meals that are homemade. Great cakes too!

Lovely seafood salad, plenty of seafood, very happy with the service, and staff are welcoming.

Very clean and feels much like home I just wish they cooked chips

We gave supported Hackney House all through the pandemic but unfortunately the attitude of one of their staff members towards us on a recent visit means we wont be going ever again.

It was nices food looked good to visit again soon

Very nice. I had the luxury hot chocolate, it was delicious, and the cakes and cherry scones were amazing

Owner might need to brush up on her customer service skills and practice a smile. Good quiche though

Lovely food good service,a little more expensive for sandwiches etc, worth the extra for amount served and extras on the plate

Devine cakes and loads to choose from

Great traditional food, great service and reasonably priced.

Great home made food at slightly above average prices
