Lavender Tea Rooms in Derbyshire Dales

We pre-booked a table at The Lavender tea rooms for a traditional afternoon tea. The food was delicious and huge portions - we each had our own cake stand. We were unable to eat it all but we're provided with boxes to take the cakes home in. My daughter has a nut allergy and was catered for with a wonderful selection of different cakes. The tea room is in a courtyard with an outdoor seating area which would be wonderful in the warmer weather. The tea room was extremely popular while we were there with a steady stream of guests, they also sell cakes to take away. Thank you to Tony and his staff who were very attentive, we will definitely return.

Travelled from Sydney Australia to spend a few days with my mum. She wanted to try this tea room - it looks very cute and cosy. Sadly, the staff were rude. My sister inlaw led the way upstairs to look for a table. I followed, only to be shouted at by a staff member, “Hey! Excuse me! Where do you think youre going?”. Sheepishly, utterly embarrassed with the entire ground floor looking at me, i turned to see an angry faced man behind the counter who repeated his question. My description here doesnt do the embarrassment justice. Our 7 member group left the premises. Tail between our legs. Wont be going there again - there are many other options with nicer staff.

Stumbled across this fantastic tea room late Saturday afternoon with my partner and two friends. Staff quickly found us a table. We had drinks and fantastic pastries. Service and surroundings were top class. Nothing too much trouble. It’s in a small courtyard off the main shopping street. Don’t hesitate if you’re in Bakewell. We will definitely be back.

Visited for the first time. Service excellent. Food and drinks excellent. By far the best tea rooms in the Peak District . Would definitely recommend. Very pleasant and friendly staff

Myself and 3 friends visited The Lavender Tea Rooms on recommendation from other friends - and we loved it. Trevor the owner is such a smiley friendly and most welcoming host. On walking in, it was clear to see how popular the Tea Room is. A very personable young man - Josh, served us, he was brilliant. We each chose something different from the menu - the sandwiches come in simply gorgeous thick cut bread - very generous in their contents served with a salad dressing and crisps. One of my friends chose the scone which she said was really lovely. The Tea Room is tucked away in a quaint pretty courtyard so make sure you don’t miss it you’ll be glad you found it

Came for lunch with my mum on a busy Saturday. We had egg mayo/ham & cheese sandwiches which were really generous portions, we each got 3 large sourdough sandwiches with salad and crisps. We then had a piece of cake each (which are also big) to enjoy at home and they were delicious - especially the mocha! Such a lovely little tearoom and will always visit when in Bakewell.

Amazing cakes and drinks!! We all had either traditional Bakewell tarts, cherry Bakewell tarts or scone with cream and jam and they were all amazing. We ordered coffee for drinks and cloudy lemonade which was amazing. We sat outside in the courtyard in the sun and it was perfect. Great customer service too!

Me and my husband first met Trev when he accommodated a small wedding day afternoon tea. He went above and beyond to make our day comfortable and special. We only had our children and my parents attend the day so we didn’t take too much room and Trev still arranged a private area upstairs, took photos for us and even added extra touches to our small wedding celebration. It’s safe to say when we visit Bakewell (2-3 times a year) our MUST stop is at The Lavender Tea Rooms! Trev and Karen do their upmost to ensure quality food and drinks at reasonable prices with a welcoming environment. Thank you for your lovely hospitality. Sarah & Ant xx

Always lovely here, we had the traditional afternoon tea - selection of sandwiches, date & walnut, carrot cake and Bakewell tart with scones jam & cream. It was all lovely and the coffee is so nice. Will always come here for afternoon tea.

What an absolute gem of a cafe. I've been today for my daughters birthday, and they delivered again on service, food, and quality. Even turning up an hour early wasn't an issue as they were so proficient. Can't praise them high enough. The lad behind the counter even knew my wife's first name by just talking to her. Now that's professional. 💯 fantastic Gem. Thank you for a lovely afternoon tea.

Best toasted sandwiches we’ve had in a long time and generous portions too . Very warm welcome from the staff on a very cold winters day . Can recommend .

Poor attitude, Not Dog friendly in a Town full of dogs! If you want to have any success in business they need to adopt to modern attitude

2nd time visit for afternoon tea and didn’t disappoint, we had one traditional and one deluxe afternoon tea and was able to request a few minor changes which was appreciated. All the sandwiches, cakes and scones were of a generous portion and also very tasty, of course we couldn’t eat it all but could have it boxed to take away. Thanks to Trevor who sorted it out for us and the lovely professional young man who served us sorry we didn’t get your name. We will definitely be back.

Been for another delicious afternoon tea, this time we tried the ploughman's afternoon tea and this was really tasty. Ham, cheese , bread, pickles , followed by pork pie, quiche, scotch eggs, sausage roll with some salad Finally cheese scones with sweet chutney. Great for people who cannot have much sugar or don't like sweet food

Amazing sammich and service. Coffee was also delicious. Absolutely will come back here on our many trips to Bakewell..

Stopped for tea and cake yesterday...the Black Stag cake was AMAZING!!! Very helpful staff, spotlessly clean, beautiful location down secluded mews. Highly recommend a visit!

What a fantastic wee place to visit for afternoon tea. We took some friends over from Holland for afternoon tea and they absolutely loved it. Fantastic staff, very helpful and attentive, was a pleasure to experience there Afternoon Tea. One of the best we've had. So definitely was worth the trip from Holland. So thank you all at the lavender tearoom for a wonderful experience. We will be back.

We really cannot recommend the Lavender tea rooms enough! One of the highlights of our trip for sure, they were so friendly and accommodating. They helped us fulfill one of our dreams and the afternoon was phenomenal. It was everything we hoped it would be and more and now all we want is to return and do it again! Food was yummy, tea was delicious, I fell in love with one of the loose tea holders so they went out of their way to find one for me so I could bring it home. I have had to try to recreate the sandwiches at home for our own afternoon tea since we have been home. They are good but still not the same. I bought bags of their loose leaf lavender tea for gifts and now I wish I could order it shipped because I am all out! Just an all around great time and lovely place.

I have tasted many an afternoon tea, I have to say the afternoon tea at lavender tea rooms in Bakewell is the best by far. I would definitely recommend a visit when in Bakewell to the lavender rooms for a spot of lunch. A wonderful little tea room, beautiful decor and very friendly staff.

Visited The Lavender Tea Rooms for a bite to eat. We were not disappointed with very friendly & attentive staff who are a credit to the place. The food was wholesome and thoroughly enjoyable. I am sorry guys I did not have cash for a tip.

Absolute gem of a cafe. Beautiful, quaint setting, lovely friendly staff and amazing food. Gorgeous, sandwiches and delicious lemon cake. This will most definitely be my first choice when visiting Bakewell again, really want to try the cream tea next 😋

A wonderful friendly cafe, had a lovely vegetarian wrap and lemon curd cake for dessert, absolutely lovely meal, would recommend, in a pretty courtyard....

This tearoom is such a delight to find! Opportunity to sit outside or inside. We had sandwiches (which were crammed with filling!) and we couldnt not then sample some of the cakes. It was a tough decision as they all looked amazing! In the end it was the Bakewell tart that I settled for whilst friends had the lemon curd cake. Both were sensational- and now we are planning a return trip to try the afternoon tea. A must when visiting Bakewell.

Just lovely and the staff are so helpful and friendly, sunny courtyard was just perfect, afternoon teas looked delish

I found Lavender tea rooms online and loved that they offer different afternoon tea options, we went for the deluxe option as I thought the sandwich fillings looked much nicer and they did not disappoint. They were proper doorstep sandwiches and the best part of...

Great little tea room fabulous decor friendly lovely staff and the Bakewell pudding was superb will definitely visit again when in bakewell

First visit to this Small 'Tea Room' tucked away down a short shop filled lane in Bakewell. Quiet enough to be seated quickly. Sandwich was fine , latte not so but that might be a personal thing. Get a sense the Tea Rooms is primarily...

A lovely hidden gem in a little quiet courtyard off the main road. The staff were pleasant and welcoming. Nice choice on the menu and the homemade Bakewell Tart was particularly good. We will definitely head here again if in Bakewell.

Thank you so much for a fantastic time. I treated my Mum to a traditional afternoon tea and we both agreed it was the best afternoon tea that we’ve had (let me tell you, we’ve had a few!) friendly, welcoming and attentive hosts, high quality...

Really lovely afternoon tea. Great selection of sandwiches and cakes, although we did bring some home so we didn't waste any! Coffee was also lovely, fantastic little tearoom

Visited today for Afternoon Tea for Mother’s Day. Can highly recommend. Excellent and generous selection of sandwiches and cakes. Best coffee in Bakewell. Really friendly team. Thank you.

We visited Lavender Tea Rooms this afternoon and received absolutely brilliant service, along with tasty sandwiches and a very welcoming reception towards our puppy. Could not fault anything! Will definitely be visiting again soon :)

Visited this gorgeous place today and what a joy. The sandwiches are enormous and accompanied with almost an entire bag of crisps and a lovely little fresh dressed salad garnish. So we asked the lovely lady who served us ,what the difference between Bakewell tarts and Bakewell puddings were and she explained with patients and a smile, even though I think she could buy the moon if she had been given a pound for every time she had been asked. I am now converted to a pudding person much to my husbands dismay.

Booked afternoon tea for my partners birthday, easy from start to finish! Food and service was superb and they even sourced raspberry jam as I’m allergic to strawberries! Would 100% definitely recommend, thanks

A lovely courtyard tea room in the heart of Bakewell, generous portions and great quality food, service very efficient and will be back

An excellent traditional and vegan afternoon tea. Huge portions, super service. Thoroughly enjoyed and will visit again when in Bakewell

In a very packed Bakewell, in our staycation season, this place is a hidden oasis. Well worth booking the afternoon tea in advance. Absolutely fabulous and really lovely friendly service. There is also an excellent little quirky shop in the courtyard full of interesting souvenirs to take home

Really friendly staff, delicious bakewell pudding, good coffee ,well worth a revisit when back in Bakewell

Popped in for a mid morning treat, coffee and cake, asked hopefully for gluten and dairy free cake. I was blown away by the response, four to choose from and not a brownie in sight!! It was wonderful, I honestly can’t think of anywhere where I’ve had so much choice. Between us we sampled ginger flapjack (gorgeous) orange and almond slice (sublime) and pecan and cinnamon slice (very nice) Highly recommend you give this place a try.

Nice place to stop for refreshments, food very good and service excellent, our particular waiter was very pleasant and cheerful, well worth a visit.

We booked ahead for an afternoon tea on a Saturday, we had travelled to Bakewell just for the day, and this was a lovely afternoon tea. The drinks and sandwiches were lovely but the tuna could have done with an addition such as cucumber. The scones were beautiful and light, and there was a lovely selection of cakes, however some were a little dry and the coffee and walnut cake didn’t taste like coffee. Despite this, it was very good value for money, and could take home any food not eaten with fresh clotted cream and extra jam.

What an awful service. These people have no clue about customer care and serving food. Cream tea is all is ordered

Pretty little Tea Room tucked away from the main road in Hebden Court, Bakewell.Wonderfully Lavender themed inside with pretty bone china tableware. Staff were friendly and helpful, tea was plentiful and the sandwiches and cakes were delicious, as were the scones, an identical gluten free version was created for my friend who was very appreciative. I couldn't manage it all so the remainder was eco boxed for me to take home. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, would definitely recommend and advise to book in advance.

This tea room is tucked away off Matlock Street. If you have your dog with you there are several outside tables in the sheltered yard. We visit every time we go to Bakewell and have always found the owner and staff very attentive and helpful. There is a small savoury menu but the pièce de résistance is the range of cakes which we were told are hand made locally. The generous afternoon tea is well worth it but be sure to book in advance.

Had the vegan scone to avoid dairy due to an allergy and received vegan cream which was just white icing. Slightly disappointing as there are quite a few vegan creams available these days but the normal options looked great. One very friendly and smiley guy serving but other servers seemed slightly fed up!

We had an amazing trip to the lavender tea rooms to have the vegan afternoon tea which was delicious. The team were really inviting and friendly and a special thanks to Trevor who was amazing. We will definitely be visiting again with friends and family. If you are in bakewell, we highly recommend that you pay them a visit, although book in advance because as it is a super popular spot (not surprising considering how good it was)Thanks, Sam and Daisy

After finding out that we were unable to get a booking in our short visit, Trevor made every effort to accommodate us and after a cancellation came up contacted us. The Afternoon Tea (traditional) was outstanding in quality and quantity ( yes they supply takeaway boxes as you will need it). The service of all staff involved was excellent (even though it was absolutely busy).Thank you all for a wonderful experience. Peter

Amazing, amazing, amazing. We arranged afternoon tea for 11 girls for a hen do. We was provided our own room upstairs, which was set up lovely and they allowed us to put up our own additional decorations. The afternoon tea was delicious and plenty of it, we all went home with leftovers in boxes they provided. What we was blown away by most was the staff, so friendly and attentive. From booking and making arrangements with Trevor to the staff serving us on the day, it was all fantastic service.I will be returning again and again I’m sure. Thank you again for a great experience :)

One of the Best afternoon teas ever The choice, quality and quantity were excellent I would highly recommend this venue

We had a lovely day out in bake well and found this beautiful tea room by walking past.. just wanted to say the staff was all amazing and very clean and well prepared food. Nothing was to much trouble and my mum was in a wheelchair she enjoyed the visit.. afternoon teas looked amazing and the owners was lovely.. nice little area that made you Very welcome.. would definitely come to visit again.. thanks and keep up the hard work guys x Nottingham family x

Visited here with a friend. Just had coffee and toasted teacake. But atmosphere was really friendly. Staff were efficient and welcoming. Can definitely recommend.

This cafe has the friendliest helpful staff, they have made both my husband and our 2 little girls feel very welcome - despite them having a function happening upstairs. Thank you for a great afternoon cake and drink outing!

It was that time of day between lunch and teatime but, having missed lunch, we needed something to keep us going.We been recommended this place but were unsure where to park on busy Bakewell. We phoned and Trevor gave us good directions to the nearest car park. He also promised to reserve one of the few courtyard tables for us and delivered on that too.The food was very good as were the drinks though demand had been so high in the hot weather that drink choices were limited

So pleased we discovered Lavender Tea Rooms.What a beautiful central location, tucked away off the main road.We had an amazing lunch, the locally sourced brown bread was soft and perfectly complimened the cheese and pickle filling. The accompanying salad was delicious and so well presented!We noted the bodum glass coffee cups that kept our drinks hot.Really warm welcome from the owners Trevor and Karen, will definitely making a return trip soon.

I couldn’t possibly describe to you the brilliance of the entire entity. From the incredible communication when booking my wedding afternoon tea and planning, to the incredible service received on the day. Truly an exceptional example of hospitality at its finest. The team and the owners made the day full of warmth. From the surprise balloons and card, to the beautiful wedding corner they made for us to enjoy on our own, truly stunning.My children were made so incredibly welcome that my two year old daughter requests daily for us to go “to that wedding place with the jam jars” Have I mentioned the actual food yet? Tbh, I would go there for the service alone. But the afternoon tea was honestly the best I’ve had, completely rivalling and outdoing the ridiculously overpriced ones I drag my husband too. The portion size is so generous that I was able to enjoy the afternoon tea for two days afterwards. Which was helpful, as that was exactly what I wanted to do seeing as it was delicious. Does is sound like I love this place? Well that’s because I do and have already returned! My new happy place. Trevor, your lovely wife, and all the team, we cannot thank you enough.

This cafe was recommended to us by The Tasty Cakery of Derbyshire, who supply them with some of their gluten-free items. It was pouring with rain and we were extremely lucky to get a table for 2 just inside the door as someone left.Service was good, we both had a sandwich (one on gluten-free bread) which came served with a small salad and crisps. Portions were large and we began to think we would not have room for cake, but we forced ourselves (and it was definitely worth it)! I think these Tea Rooms should advertise their gluten-free offerings better - we were surprised at the range they had, which was not apparent to us until the waitress explained everything that was available.Sadly we didn't have time to have an afternoon tea as we were only in the area for a few days. Next time ...

Absolutely beautiful little tea room in a beautiful court yard in the gorgeous little village of Bakewell, the staff were so friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was delicious and a very high quality, highly recommended the afternoon tea. Will definitely be visiting again and recommending to my friends.

We seated ourselves and a lady checked that we had logged onto the covid app etc. We waited patiently for a menu eventually someone came along. We then asked inside if someone would take our order as we were part of a coach party and had waited 45 min to this point our order was then duly taken 90 min later we left. We noticed other potential customers leave as they were unattended. Apparently lack of staff and sickness was the excuse. Buck up your ideas.

What a little gem The Lavender Tearooms are. Set in a lovely courtyard in Bakewell the service was really friendly & the food delicious & great value for money. All the tables were cleaned after every customer in accordance with covid guidelines. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

I visited this lovely cafe with my daughter son in law and 15 month old grandson. We all had a gorgeous sandwich followed by scrummy carrot cake. My sister who was with us ordered a tuna sandwich which didn’t arrive with all our other food so when she had to ask where it was the young waitress was very apologetic and very kindly took it off our bill.Really nice ambience and a real sun trap on a sunny day.We will definitely return next time we’re in Bakewell.

Good choice of fillings available on gluten free bread served with crisps and small side salad. Ham, tuna mayonnaise and egg mayonnaise all sampled and were very good. Accompanying drinks of Breckland Orchard Posh Pop very good with wide variety of flavours. The Lavender Courtyard is an excellent sheltered sun trap. Definitely worth a visit for Coeliacs / Gluten Free diners looking for a light lunch. GF and DF cakes advertised but we did not try so cannot review.

Fantastic afternoon tea as a late celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary. Well worth the visit - we will be back again🌼

My husband and I called for a snack. We couldn't sit in (thought there was seating upstairs but overheard a member of staff telling a customer they only have 5 tables indoors) so sat outside when it started to rain. The young lady quickly put up the umbrellas so we were fine. I ordered a prawn sandwich only to find out they'd run out so ordered cheese & pickle instead. My husband had the crumpets and for drinks we had coffee and hot chocolate. When we were leaving I mentioned a friend of ours used to own the Tearooms. They asked if it was Gary!!! He now has a Tearooms in courtyard next to our pub - small world

After third time lucky after lockdown and tiering meant we couldn’t attend. Well worth the wait. Bright and cosy tearoom set in a gorgeous courtyard, outside sitting in good weather. Good menu of teas, coffees and treats. Thoroughly enjoyed our Deluxe afternoon tea. The homemade sandwiches were delicious all in homemade bread. Tray bakes delicious - I only managed coffee and walnut and a hug, light scone - but family have enjoyed the others which I brought home. Lovely to finally meet Trevor who I have been emailing re bookings. Will definitely be back.

Substantial sandwiches an an impressive array of crockery. Lots of choices of hot drinks. Well done Lavender tea rooms.

Not the best placed cafe for outdoor dining but in these times one likes to support independent business. Few tables. Mediocre coffee and doughy teacake. Staff hanging around chatting. Hopefully better service when indoor dining recommenced. The fact that both retail outlets on either side are empty doesn't help.

Situated in the very nice Hebden court yard, with a very friendly atmosphere. The staff are very friendly, attentive and efficient. The variety of food was fantastic, we had the clotted cream tea which is my favourite when on my holidays the scones were delicious. The owners are lovely people and we wish them good luck for the future out of lockdown. We can highly recommend this super Tea room you will not be disappointed.

Popped in while riding the Monsal Trail, and spotted it while looking for somewhere to get a take-away coffee.The staff were very welcoming and helpful, finding us a space to prop our bikes while we settled in for some tea and cake - the coffee & walnut was an absolutely spot-on accompaniment to a pot of Earl Grey.Lovely staff, great service, and an incredible range of cakes on offer.

The 2hr drive was worth it once we got to bakewell. Lavender tea rooms is a beautiful quaint tea room serving very tasty sandwiches and cakes which we had put in a box to bring home.The service was brilliant , we were made very welcome and were able to enjoy our afternoon without being rushed.

We expected to be wowed with our cakes and coffee unfortunately it's just another spot for tourists. The outside looked extremely inviting, those that ate in these tables had the best deal. We hovever ate inside and the atmosphere was a bit drab. Service was lovely and helpful. Food disappointing but not a disaster. Definitely not the best Cherry Bakewell Tart and Pudding in the area.

Beautiful tea room .. disappointed with the hot chocolate. Came in a glass cup and marshmallows on the side rather than in the cup. Took less than a minute to drink because not very hot.

The best traditional afternoon tea I’ve ever enjoyed! Each part of the tea was delicious and the portions were very generous (we ended up boxing up our cakes to take home!) The staff were very welcoming and accommodating to our preferences. Well worth a visit!

Myself and my son visited bakewell during half term and we found this beautiful tearoom tucked away and what a lovely find. All homemade cakes and baked that looked delicious, I had a Bakewell pudding with a hot chocolate and my son had a scone with jam with a glass of juice, it's reasonably priced and we both enjoyed what we had. The staff were lovely and friendly, it was very clean with hand sanitizer on each table. Such a cosy homely tearoom which we will definitely be visiting again!

Firstly this tea room was excellent value for money with 16.95 giving us each a pot of tea and considerably more than we could eat in one sitting. They acknowledge the large spread and gave us boxes for the food we couldn't eat at the time. Secondly we have multiple allergies all of which they were happy to cater for. The chef checked with us with what she was preparing to ensure we were happy with what she was preparing. The gluten free scone was delicious, large and stayed together on halving it and spreading cream on. I tried the lactose free cream which they made in house and it was delicious too. We booked ahead and got a private room upstairs which was lovely. The staff were well protected with visors and masks. Although their cramped work spaces made socially distancing hard, they were patient and calm and waited patiently to get into their spaces. 10/10. They should definitely create a wall of fame for customers that actually finish all items of the afternoon tea in one sitting.

Popped in before heading off for a long walk, for coffee and some snack. We hadn't called ahead so were delighted to hear that there was a Bakewell tart that was sfv available. We weren't sure we'd be able to buy a vegan bakewell in Bakewell! Coffee was strong and made with oat milk barista, which was lovely. It was relatively quiet but the staff kept busy. It wasn't entirely clear that the bill was to be settled at the counter, but aside from that, this is a lovely, bright little tea room and well worth a visit.

We are still full up from one of the best afternoon teas I’ve ever had! My husband had the deluxe and I had the vegetarian and they were equally delicious. The bread was fresh, the fillings varied, scones soft and the cakes...oh my...a lot of them and all so tasty. I am such a fussy eater with a strange intolerance and they certainly excelled here. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. To the manager who has created this beautiful tea room, well done. We wish you well deserved success! And to anybody reading this and visiting Bakewell, do try this traditional tea room. Highly recommend!

After a 3 hour walk the afternoon tea was a lovely way to re-energize for the walk (ahem...bus) back Lovely sandwiches (falafel wrap and egg mayo our favourites) plus scone and more than enough cakes for a couple of days went down very nicely.Also well done to the staff for dealing with a particularly rude customer full of her own self-importance who wanted to turn the tea room into her own personal conference room. I think my response to her would have been a lot less measured

So glad decided to indulge in a very special afternoon tea for my birthday. An amazing selection of cakes and sandwiches! Portions are huge so glad they let you take the left overs home. The staff are so helpful and friendly with nothing being a chore for themFelt a bit of normality in these uncertain times with staff and visitors all in masks and plenty of hand sanitiser available on each table. Will definitely be back!

WOW we were majorly impressed with the afternoon tea - we plumped for the luxury option and were so pleased we did. Sandwiches were delicious and the cakes scrumptuous. The portions are HUGE - the biggest and by far best afternoon tea I have ever had (and i've had a fair few!). There was no way we could eat it all and it was all boxed up ready for us to take home - we had a second afternoon tea the following day! absolutely delicious and we will definitely be returning on our return to Bakewell. Service was wonderful, friendly staff who couldnt do enough for us. A sweet charming tea-room with exceptional food!

We were in Derbyshire with friends, and booked the Deluxe Afternoon Tea at the Lavender Tea Rooms, amazing!! The quality of the sandwiches Cakes and Scones cannot be faulted, The NHS/ Covid arrangements were excellent, thank you Trevor, Karen and you lovely helpful Girls for a Superb experience, we are in Derbyshire again in November with some other Friends, and will definitely book to bring them along to see you.John and Joy Saywell

We stopped by for a sandwich and scone, excellent and the afternoon tea on an adjacent table looked amazing !!!Lovely friendly service, tables nicely spaced inside and out this was a great spot for lunch. Next time would definitely pre-book the afternoon tea, especially as they give the option to box up anything you can't quite manage at the time :)

On a gorgeous September sunny day we spotted this little gem tucked away down a little alley. Luckily we managed to get a table outside the place was really busy but covid rules adhered too. We Had lovely tea and a tart and it was very reasonable price and really very tasty. Next time we in Bakewell we will call here definitely.

My friend and I went here in early September for afternoon tea, Their covid 19 rules were relatively lacking upstairs when queuing for the only toilet. But they had closed the seating area upstairs for this reason so that’s a plus but everyone had to walk past the tables downstairs, very closely to get upstairs. That aside, my friend had phoned ahead and asked for specific requests for the afternoon tea, she doesnt like raisins so asked for the scones to be plane and for there to be no Tuna sandwiches as neither of us like the taste or the smell. Unfortunately this was not what was brought to us. Both (huge) scones had raisins and we had tuna on our assortment of sandwiches. We also got mainly cheese and pickle. The sandwiches to cake ratio was off. There were few sandwiches and lots of cake, i love cake. Dont get me wrong but it was very unbalanced. The “clotted cream” for the scones was runny. But the scones themselves were so lovely. Once we had ours with no raisins. And the jam was beautiful too. The younger waitresses did not want to be there and although they were polite, you could tell its not where they wanted to be on a Saturday afternoon. The coffee we ordered was nice and quick and replenished when we were finished with the first lot. Overall the tea rooms were quick, cute and polite. The sandwiches could be improved upon as they were not great. if youre going to ask for any requirements then actually take note of them. As we felt rude asking for what we had originally ordered over the phone. Id come again if i was in bakewell.

Afternoon tea exceeded our expectations! Such wonderful value for money, incredibly tasty food (including vegan options for 2 of us) and lovely service. A visit we won’t forget, thank you!

It was chucking it down on our visit and and spotting the Lavender Tea Rooms was a relief. It's a pretty place, very clean with charming service. If you visit try the warm Bakewell tart with cream.

Came here for Afternoon Tea to celebrate my birthday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. They had decorated the table and provided balloons. Excellent food. Nothing was too much trouble. Great atmosphere. Love the new owners.

A beautiful tearoom nestled in a stunning courtyard in the bustling market town of Bakewell. I enjoyed a great coffee and a generous slice of delicious cake. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome and will definitely be returning soon.

Brilliant cafe set in a fab courtyard. Seating outside as well as indoors. Was great to get away from the noise and traffic. Very covid secure with each table having sanitizer. We had cake and coffee which was fantastic using locally sourced produce. Highly recommended.

Visited yesterday and had the refreshing Bakewell tea along with a gorgeous slice of Victoria sponge. It's a lovely setting with great service; we sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed every minute, highly recommended!

We visited the tea rooms today to escape the rain with our 10 month old son and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us and were extremely warm, chatty and friendly. We had a gluten free cream tea which was delicious and were pleased we could find something to eat for our son who has multiple allergies. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

We recently visited the Lavender Tea Rooms and had a lovely deluxe afternoon tea experience which my son thoroughly enjoyed!The chef was kind enough to accommodate our 5year old by adapting our order upon request which we really appreciated.The setting within the courtyard is quaint and it's clear the new owners have a vision of where they are taking the tea room following friendly chats with the staff.Lovely place, we will return!

Me & my mum visited yesterday and it was absolutely lovely would definitely Recommend! The staff are so polite & friendly the sandwiches are yummy , amazing choice of cakes & the environment is very safe as we had our track and trace taken & lots of social distancing Thankyou very much , will be returning very soon

Visited today, lovely sandwiches. No children's menu available but we were offered smaller adult sandwiches for the kids which were a perfect size and they really enjoyed them. Sadly when it came to paying we were informed they were the exact same price as the £5.50 adult sandwiches despite being smaller Had we know this the kids could have shared an adult dish or my husband and I eaten what they couldn’t!

We visited while on a day trip to bakewell as we were staying in buxton, the tea room is set in a lovely little courtyard just of a main road, the staff are very friendly and polite, we ordered teas cake and scones which were fresh and tasty, it was very reasonbly priced and we would recommend and visit again when next in bakewell
