Kedleston Hall Restaurant in Amber Valley

The food is always excellent problem is having dogs near food they souldnt be allowed indoors as some of the owners have no control

I've been here before, this NT is local to us and we're members. The last time we came here, we had a nice pot of tea, cups and saucers. It was really pleasant and a nice treat. So I was more than disappointed to be served a tea bag floating in a disposable cup for the extortionate price of £2.70. This is a disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourselves. I also ordered a couple of sausage rolls. These arrived eventually, but not before I'd almost finished the tea. I'd have had a sandwich, but as it was 12:30, all these had gone. You can't provide sufficient sandwiches to last through lunch apparently.

Excellent provision for allergens. I feel that it is a shame dogs are allowed into an eatery and that it is unhealthy and not appropriate. The presence of clumps of dog hair confirmed that.

Excellent service and very pleased to see a dog free area , imho all eating out establishments should be assistance dogs only .

Very disappointing lunch @ Kedleston Hall Restaurant. 1. We had to queue for at least 15 mins to place our order with only 1 person operating the order point / till. 2. Having queued up, I was then advised that Cornish Pasty was not available so had to make a last minute order switch. If a board had been put up, advising of any unavailable items, I could have sorted my alternative order out whilst queuing. 3. Having ordered a Cheese & Onion pasty instead of the Cornish Pasty I wanted, I received a pasty which was practically inedible. It had been massivley overheated & over baked, resulting in a pasty that was burnt, hard-baked & couldn't been identified as having anything to do with cheese or onion. Usually I would have sent it back, but the lengthy wait & queue made this impractical so I attacked the pasty as best I could and left the completely inedible pastry crust. Would definitely not recommend or return.

Set in the old kitchen of this massive country house is a very good , possibly the best National Trust coffee shop/restaurant Freshly cooked food, delivered to you table by friendly staff the fresh pea and ham fritatta was really very good.

Lovely outside area to eat in as well as the old hall kitchen. Just mind the rooks who are ready to collect the crumbs. Lovely home made soup.

It's a simple menu but very tasty indeed, friendly staff, the wait for food was about right especially given the restaurant was busy an the cime
