Highfield House Farm Shop and Tea Rooms in North East Derbyshire

Great shop, lovely staff, cute cafe and lovely homemade, homegrown grub.

Lovely place to visit, dog friendly. My only criticism being sticky tables in the cafe.

. . . what a delightful place, escape. A friendly welcome with loads of homemade food on the menu. We chose the broccoli and cheese quiche; delicious and accompanied with coleslaw and salad. It was lovely to see others enjoying the same. We will definitely return and thoroughly recommend.

We called here while out & about taking pictures in the area, a nice warm welcome and a nice clean place. We had English breakfast and tea, the food was fresh and hot and a traditional pot of tea made with tea leaves. The food was really nice and the staff very friendly 10 out of 10 from me. An added bonus it’s connected to a farm shop again i was very impressed.

Nice farm shop with a good meat counter. The cafe was great, friendly ladies working there and nice food, we only wished we had tried the bakewell tart - next time!

Excellent selection of produce. Great sausages & burgers, including venison, kangaroo and ostrich

Nice little cafe and farm shop, worth a visit 😋👍

Lovely cafe spot, perfect for a bite midday. 10 of us (5 kids and 5 adults) were seated quickly and served promptly. The homity pie was great and all the kids loved the bacon baps. The butcher and farm shop was well stocked and friendly, we will definitely stop by again soon.

Brilliant place tea room was clean and a great menu staff so helpful and friendly the farm shop great choice of top quality products definitely going back

Friendly staff efficient service Lovely food as well

Excellent meat ect.Shop there regularly. Thank you.

Really impressed with the choice of locally produced products, staff on the counter were really helpful

Called in after a walk with the dog (dogs allowed). We had a half breakfast and tea. The breakfast was tasty well cooked and worth the £5.50, one sausage, bacon, egg, black pudding and beans with a slice of toast. The staff were friendly and efficient. We will be going again and recommend giving it a try. For two half breakfasts and a pot of tea for two £15.00. We paid double that at Chatsworth's Kitchen at Rowsley and that was not a patch on the food we had at Highfield House.

Wonderful to sit and relax with a pot of tea and a scone. Great shop.

food in the cafe is amazing staff are all friendly and helpful the butcher's has a good selection and the meat is beautiful the hot pasties are amazing I have one everytime I go i it was a great little find on our way home from a afternoon drive

Good farm shop and restaurant with tasty food

Very friendly, great staff, nice food & very good value. Very good gluten free range, too.

Farm shop absolutely FANTASTIC products

Great meat and good fish Thursday 2-3pm from Shawn

Great little farm shop, we stopped on our way out of Bakewell and got a delicious cake. The staff were extremely friendly.

The Lamb and Mint pie was amazing.

This lovely little place serves 100% the best cooked breakfast in Derbyshire. Everything is cooked to order. You get bacon rashers, sausages, eggs how you want (fried, scrambled etc) mushrooms, beans, black pudding and toast with butter. They also do a half breakfast which as you would expect is smaller. Other dishes are available and equally as delicious as the breakfasts and they do a range of desserts and cakes. The usual teas, coffees, milk and juices are also on the menu. If you enjoy the food in the cafe do have a browse in the fast-food farm shop. And last but not least, the staff are reliably efficient and welcoming.

Nice farm shop butchers. Interesting choice of sausages!

The experience was a really pleasant one, the team room has a real ambient vibe. The staff are friendly and courteous and they go the extra mile for you. The food was amazing and very well priced. I’ve loved every second of eating at this place. Will be sure to return! Thanks guys!! 5 star service with a smile

Staying nearby for the week up from London, found this lovely place. The breakfasts were amazing, scrambled egg in particular. Loads of tasty treats such as Bakewell slices, chocolate fudge brownies to munch on too. Farm shop was great, could’ve spent a fortune! We got some steak pies which were delicious, big chunks of soft steak and lovely gravy. We’ll be back!

Great place for a breakfast tea coffee and cake. Smashing Buchers on site.

Highfield House Farm Shop was an absolute lifesaver during lock-down, when they transformed into an all-singing, all-dancing shop where you could buy pretty much everything you needed. Their range is still brilliant and every Thursday, just after lunch, "Shaun the Fish" turns up in his van with his catch from the boats in Grimsby to sell delicious fish. Josh and his band of merry brothers and sisters at HHFS are all charming, knowledgeable and skilful. Particular faves for me are their lamb cutlets and - every few months - they have heritage breed Dexter cuts available. Josh also gets the veggie haggis for me, which I love (apols to all those true haggis lovers). But, this weekend, we had a very special treat indeed. They'd made hot water crust Dexter meat pies. OMG - these were sensational. Well, it was. The meat was cooked low and slow - the gravy ooooozed out and was rich and deeply flavoursome, pastry the right balance of crispy and soft. I have a mind to now only serve these to guests. Super reasonable at £6 per pie with masses to go round 2 people. This is an absolute must (but please don't buy them all before I get back to them). Bravo my friends :-)

Staff are very friendly and polite prices very reasonable good around

Honest review as always Today I visited this lovely farm shop and cafe. Staff were friendly and I received a very warm welcome. I ordered a pot of tea for one and a breakfast. The tea: served traditionally, tea leaves instead of bag (always bonus points for me) the milk came in a miniature milk churn. The breakfast: Only one word for it - devine. So I'm from Dorset, and used to farm shops and farm cafes with fresh ingredients not catering wholesale food. This cafe hit the spot. The best breakfast I have had since I was back in the south west. The sausages were tasty (not catering sausages) bacon was cooked to perfection. Mushrooms were fresh and not tinned. Egg had set whites but still a lovely runny yoke. I couldn't fault one bit of it. Portion was reasonable to the price. The breakfast was full of flavour. The only suggestion that I could offer was I would have loved a poached egg as opposed to fried but this is personal preference. The cafe was exceptionally clean and well presented. Menu was varied. Customer service was polite, prompt and friendly. I would highly recommend and will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Great farm shop with a range of their own sauces! They have all kinds of sausages and meats, all of which are delicious. Per kilo the beef is 20%+ higher in price than my local butchers, but you expect a little gouging with these types of places. Quality the same. Great quality and a full lineup of products. Will be back!

I only write reviews if I am delighted or it’s really bad. This was excellent. They catered for 12 of us, managed 3 different allergies and made us feel very welcome and valued customers. In addition to the lovely food served, the farm shop helped us become well stocked for the weekend away at nearby Landal Forest. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely fresh food, great sausages. Nice friendly staff.

Fantastic food. Very friendly staff highly recommend going.

Lovely cafe. Friendly staff Quick service Beautiful breakfast And proper tea in a pot. What more could you ask for. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Nice place. Great views and excellent service. There's a brilliant butchery next door. Well worth a visit.

We stopped here briefly on our way to Darwin Forest. We had sausage, bacon & egg rolls, americana and a flat white. Food looked great and very appetising with quality local ingredients and very tasty eggs cooked to perfection. Very friendly servers too! Bought some delicious Plum bread etc from Farm shop on our way home at the end of the week.

We popped into the shop and bought the most delicious pork pie, scotch eggs and sausage rolls for lunch at our nearby holiday home. Small but well stocked with a wide range of fresh and frozen meats. Stopped for a cuppa and piece of cake in the tea rooms which was so enjoyable we decided to return once we'd checked out to fill up on a full English breakfast before our journey home and we were not disappointed. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were really friendly too.

The food is of excellent quality and all local. the tea is a very high grade and loose leaf which is quite a novelty these days. The staff are friendly and efficient and we felt that it was very good value. Highly recommended.

I can honestly say until today’s visit Highfield House Farm breakfast was the best we’ve had in the area. However on our visit today we were extremely disappointed. The breakfasts have gone from a fat farm shop sausage to three piddly chipolatas, thick cut tasty bacon to thin frazzled and tasteless. Whole field mushroom to what appeared to be tinned, no halved tomatoes, black pudding or local oatcakes on offer. This is still charged at the same price as before. My recommendation to Highfield Farm would be to charge that little bit more, which I’m sure most would be happy to pay, to get that wonderful food you used to serve.

I visited with my wife for a full cooked English breakfast and it was excellent and reasonable value. We will definitely be returning.

We couldn't choose where we wanted to sit. We got told off for using a salt pot from a vacant table because ours was blocked. The food was terrible. The bread was stale, the bacon and sausage must have been pre-cooked as it was like plastic so had to leave it.

We visited the farm shop today to purchase some meat for a BBQ. We have been holidaying in nearby Alton and the owners of the cottage specifically recommended the meat at Highfield House. I can testify to the excellent quality of the meat we purchased and although it was more expensive it was far nicer than the meat we purchased from the supermarket earlier in the week, so worth every penny. However we left the farm shop feeling a little deflated due to the reception we recieved. The atmosphere was very cold and the man behind the counter, although not outright rude to us seemed a little irritated by us. We spent a little while deciding what we wanted and the man actually made a comment about this which unnerved us a little. I tried to lift the mood by informing him we were holidaying in the area and that the farm shop had been recommend in the hope it would spark a conversation. However, instead of responding he promptly turned his back on us and showed no interest or acknowledgement of what I'd said. There were no other customers in the shop so we weren't holding any one up and it was roughly an hour before the shop was due to close so I'm not sure what the issue was. We aren't sure what it was about us that upset the staff but it was very clear that we weren't appreciated which is upsetting as we've had nothing but a warm welcome everywhere else we've visited.

Excellent farm shop and cafe. Best breakfast with ingredients from the shop. Farm shop had their own butchery which had high quality, tasty meal.

We googled local farmshops and found Highfields and what a find, so its a place of two half's amazing butchers and amazing cafe. Farm shop... The best butchers I have ever come across, all the beef comes of the farm or the next door farm which is great as you know the provenance. The meat selection is great from Barlsey chops to steak and the best sausages, they do all their own cooked meats as well. Great selection of pork pies, pasties, and cheese. The beef has an amazing colour and looks nice and dry (which it should) nothing is to much bother in the butchers, the staff are so welcoming and helpful. Since finding this butchers we have not been to any other butchers and will continue to keep using only this butchers. Cafe... They use the butchers meat for their breakfast and lunches and thats makes it extra special, great menu with a great choice. Food is cooked to order and really hits the spot, my husband loves the dripping on toast and I love their sausage so have the sausage bap. They have a great selection of teas, coffee, and cold drinks as well as a great selection of cakes. The staff are just lovely, so welcoming and provide a grear service, we love coming here as the staff make the visit. Its spotlessly clean and feels nice and bright, they have outside seating as well. Be warned it gets really busy so you may wanna book, if we want good food this is the place we come we always leave with a smile on our faces. So all in all this is a gem of Derbyshire and should not be missed if your passing or fancy a drive out.

Been here a few times, until covid stopped us all going out. Popped in for lunch on our way for a ride around the Chatsworth area. Not as busy as I remember, maybe folk don't have the money to eat out as they once did. We both had the Bacon, Brie and Cranbury Panini, which was quite large it has to be said, and very tasty. It is accompanied by a salad and crisps, which like the main event was very good. All washed down with cappuccino coffee. I have noticed since we have started going out a little, no matter where you go this "standard fare" for two is now near to £25.

Plenty of choice on the specials board as well on the regular menu, and these included gluten free. meals were large in size, accompanied by salad, crisps and coleslaw on the whole. Quite small but very busy and I was glad I'd booked a table. Plenty of parking. Be aware that the tea rooms close at 3pm and aren't open Mondays. The farm shop is attached but I didn't go inside.

Thank you for preparing and cooking the most delicious and safe breakfast for me. I chose a gluten free bacon with egg sandwich with gf bread; the gf full english looked amazing too. The bacon was some of the most delicious I have tasted. It was also delightful to have loose leaf tea in a teapot. We were a group including coeliac, lactose free and vegetarian..... it wasn't a problem for the knowledgeable and friendly staff. I can thoroughly recommend Highfield House Farm Cafe to all.

Daily 'Special' £10 stilton and brioche 'burger' consisted of a mushroom that was smaller than its stale, small brioche bun with a hint of stilton - you couldn't actually see any stilton at all. Couldn't believe the poor value compared to other local places. Didn't...

Picturesque location, friendly service and great food. After a morning of walking, we were ready for an indulgent lunch… and that’s what we received. Big portions, with all the extras. Lovers of a cream team, we thought we’d found our favourite tea room… until today!...

high quality food with very good price

First time we have been,, went for breakfast, we both had full English, it was really good, the black pudding was the best i have tasted for ages, the tea was loose tea not a bag which was a very nice change, the staff were very good & friendly, all cleaned to covid standards, all in all it was a very good breakfast, we also bought bacon & sausage to bring home,,,,

Great quality food from the farm shop, great selection, we go here regularly. Staff helpful and friendly.

Ordered take away afternoon tea for a birthday treat for a friend on 12th June. Excellent food and a great variety. All very fresh and ready on time. Would happily do this again. Thank you.

Really nice food but finding it a bit pricey now. Need to reset their prices.

We shopped twice at the Farm Shop during a trip up to Derbyshire. Would highly recommend the meat and cheese selection. Sausages are fantastic and an interesting selection of frozen meat including beef cheeks and rabbit. Vegetables and fruit are quite limited.

Great selection of food, and kind enough to get me some scones, even though the coffee shop was closed. Well worth a visit

Good farm shop, lots of choice of good quality meat and many other deli goods. Dave the butcher was friendly, helpful didn't rush us. Then a nice coffee outside on the patio with lovely views of the Peak district. Looking forward to breakfast there when we can eat in or outside in the warm weather.

Always friendly and knowledgeable with excellent produce. Definitely worth a regular visit.

Some good produce and good for a coffee and a snack

just had my first lot of steak from here and must say its the best I have ever had. definitely going to be my regular meat supplier going forward. thanks all involved

Fabulous farm shop extremely wide selection of fresh locally produced fresh meat wonderful friendly service my go to

Always great products.. some proper characters behind the counters.

First visit. Small shop but good produce. Was told that fish man visits Thursday and Friday between 2-3pm. Too early for me today, but next visit I will co-incide with them. Nice country lanes and views from my home to the shop. Friendly staff.

My husband has just returned from your shop, l was so looking forward to my nice hot sausage rolls and my husband was for his pasties, Ugh they where absolutely disgusting ,l have been coming up to your shop for l cannot remember how many years. Your prices of the meat has doubled in price and lowered in standard, l can assure you myself and my relatives that come will be no more .......Update ......... Sunday lunch fillet steak from yourself tested more like stewing steak so I've marked yourself down to one sorry but no more from all of my friends and family even our dog turned its nose up at it

2nd visit in 2 weeks because of quality food and service. There are a number of farm food shops in the area and this is our favourite. Proper farm shop selling proper food and the staff are lovely..

Lovely tasty food friendly service guaranteed

Quite rude member of staff, to both me and my wife. Not bother next time.

A bit on the small side, and also rather expensive. However, the produce is top notch, and the meat is of a very high quality which justifies the price. A must for those with a taste for the finer foods in life.

Being local this was a regular place for lunch. Whilst appreciating that things are not what they used to be due to this wretched virus we found The Highfield Tea Room has most certainly dropped its standards when it came to food. My choice was...

The staff are so helpful and the food good and we have returned a number of times for breakfast. All food cooked to order so arrives fresh and hot. Book ahead as the place gets busy particularly at meal times. Be aware that they finish...

Just had a coffee & Toblerone brownie. Delicious. Adapted to the latest legislation on Covid really well. Very clean and staff friendly & courteous.

Fantastic food as always, especially the pies! I am very impressed with their commitment to ensuring the premises is Covid safe. Sanitiser on entry, masks required unless seated at table, all staff wear visors, tables, chairs and menus thoroughly sanitised between guests, track and trace...

Really good place, spotless clean. Excellent service, even offer to post items to me in Tyne and wear. Wells real good quality items. We were to late to try the cafe but had good selection

Friendly service,everything cooked fresh

Dropped in for breakfast Tuesday morning around 9:30. The place wasn't full although about 4 tables were reserved (the diners had not arrived by the time we left). The staff are polite but not over friendly and they are in no hurry to take orders....

Love this place, never dissapointed with anything we buy from here.

Looks nice. 2 coffees asked to wait outside & will bring out. Fair enough. 15 mins later went in & she forgot about us. They were busy, fair enough but poor service.

Excellent and exceptional quality as always

Well laid out farm shop with adjacent cafe. Shop products are not cheap but are always high quality and represent good value for money.

The produce is excellent..The staff are lovely and friendly. A pleasure to shop here.

Excellent produce in the shop and great café. Will be back.

Excellent food as usual. Missed the breakfast cut off by 10 minutes and wasn't allowed to order it so make sure you are on time if it is breakfast you want

Excellent range of quality food and drink

Fantastic meat for BBQ very helpful staff. Quality.

Great choice of meats(frozen and fresh), cheese, bread, cakes, jams, veg/fruit and much more. Very clean, the staff are polite and will prepare any meat for you the way you like. Phone orders available.

High class butchers. Excellent locally sourced meat. Very friendly stsff

Very good produce and the staff are most helpful.A good range of quality meats.plus many other lines.The virus meant limited customer access nevertheless it wasdealt with very effiecently..aThank you all

We have been going for breakfast and snacks for many months . It is always consistently good and the service is excellent. A good atmosphere is friendly.

Good fresh meat.brilliant choice. More expensive than supermarket but that's what I expected. We should all use it more often.Beautiful stewing steak.

Great quality meat & very knowledgeable & helpful butchers

Enjoyed both the cafexsbd,the,Farm shop. Good old fashioned and friendly service.

Great breakfast venue for walkers or people fancying a short drive into the countryside from Matlock or Bakewell. I recommend you book a day or two ahead. They allow about two hours per sitting and for breakfast I think quite sufficient. The choice is extensive...

Lovely food that was served in a timely manner.

Great coffee and cakes xx and dog friendly. If you behave they give your dog a biscuit ❤️

First class farm shop thats cheaper than your local supermarket. Most meats are from the farm so they have some history for you. Also a good range of other mouthwatering products

Can be very busy with no free tables. So book if there are a group of you. Great breakfasts and lunches.

Friendly lovely food all cooked on site.

My husband enjoyed his breakfast, but mine wasn't nice. And the staff weren't very friendly either to put it nicely. And we were moved in the cafe on to a tiny table even though there wasn't room for my husbands Guide Dog. Wouldn't recommend.

On our drive back from Matlock towards Chesterfield, we happened upon Highfield House by chance and we were all glad that we did. Real loose leaf tea, a good choice of cakes and the hot food we had was great - tasty Christmassy quiche and...

Very nice cafe with friendly staff. Lovely fresh savoury scones with cream cheese and homemade onion chutney. Eaten here many times before and it's always been excellant.
