May's in Derbyshire Dales

great little bakery in the centre of wirksworth, spotlessly clean, and run by a friendly elderly couple, who make everything homemade. cakes, pastries, and homemade pies,and also coffeees,teas, and cold drinks.very reasonable prices, and just up the road from Wirksworth railway station. i always pop in for treats when i catch the train up from Duffield for the afternoon, recomended..! :-)

Floor dirty and mouse droppings on floor .Health hazard. Went in with a friend and was too embarrassed to complain. Has seen better times Stale cakes. Never again..

It's run by a gentle elderly couple who seem to do all the baking too. Lots of home made savory and sweet treats to choose from. Something new they were "trying" was a minced beef and mushy peas pie. It's not flash and modern, it's an experience - give it a try.

This is a very basic tearoom that probably has not changed in decades. They do drinks, cakes, breakfast baps etc all home baked. The quality is super and the prices are very low.

So we walked into what we thought would be a nice place to have what was advitised as a ‘Full English Breakfast’ only to be served this. Mould on the toast, jelly still on the egg and everything cold. Terrible.

Quaint cafe with a large variety of cakes, biscuits, savouries, mostly homemade and all very reasonably priced. Breakfast looks a steal. All set in a ambiance reflecting a bygone age ie how cafes used to be. Service is a bit slow and haphazard, so one needs to say goodbye to any semblance of 21st century urgency and just sit back and observe. One mark off as certain negative (for this modern society) hygiene issues were observed.

Cheap as chips no frills cafe with very tasty cakes. Was a regular cycling stop, but a dozen cyclists decided not to go in having looked through the large windows at the male (owner?) sitting down merrily picking his nose and face. Really need to adopt basic good hygiene standards-no excuse.

What an interesting little cafe, tucked away on the road down to the railway. Looks just as it was back a half century ago I suspect. Cakes and savouries all home made I guess. Worth popping in just because it’s there.

The world might move too fast for comfort but May's is an oasis of dependable quality and value. Don't expect a fancy menu or leather seating. But call into May's if you're looking for home cooked food and a good range of baking to take out and enjoy.

May's is a really old fashioned little cafe just off the the main through road, beyond the town hall car park. A pot of tea and a cake here will cost little more than a cup of tea on its own in a posher cafe. The cakes are nice too; I had a "wet Nellie" - which as a Southerner I would have called a slice of bread pudding.

May's has been a Wirksworth fixture for many years. Revisiting it after a gap of several summers, my partner and I found it little changed - its cramped old-fashioned tearoom layout, its honest-to-goodness pies and pastries laid out in glass cabinets, bustling friendly service, and its generally older demographic gossiping away to one another. Quality is good, choice is fair (with one or two unusual delicacies (wet Nellie, anyone?), prices are low - but if the business model works for them, who's to complain? Our light, moist carrot cake, filling cheese and onion roll (seemingly made with pickled onion) and pot of good Earl Grey for two came to just £4.10 - the kind of money that nowadays will hardly get you a small coffee and a cookie in most High Street tax-dodging coffee corporates! There are plenty of places in Wirksworth that offer a more fashionable, cutting edge approach to snacks and light lunches but May's simply has to be experienced for what it is: simple, honest, no-nonsense and supremely affordable.

The pastries and pasties here are homemade and truly beautiful. A small cafe with a friendly atmosphere.

Ok- take quality bakes, good friendly service and low prices and what have you got? A little gem we think. Cakes and bakes are first class- and read what others say about prices- it is true! Do not be put off by old fashioned layout and approach- this is not s bijou eatery, but something quite rare.

Firstly can I say we stayed across the road from May's kitchen not the restaurant and May was in that kitchen from about 0430am every morning working hard and baking all the lovely goods you get in their café round the corner so full respect for Mrs May as we fondly nicknamed her - we are not stalkers I just woke up early and looked out the window! anyway we went in the café and bought some lovely cakes and they really were amazing

A regular destination! The food is freshly baked and very affordable. Worth trying the local speciality, Wet Nellie, made no where else!

What a great find this place is! There was plenty of choice for snacks or main meals and the staff are very welcoming and happy to adapt to your requests. I went with my friend and our two young children and we were all made to feel at home. Two main meals for us, two lighter meals for the children along with drinks for all and we had change from a tenner! We took a quiche home to sample and I can honestly say it was one of the best I have tasted. They really do love what they do and it shows :)

Precios muy bajos para buenos pasteles y tartas. Los vegetarianos bien atendidos con verduras empanadas y sin gluten.

All home made cakes, scone and pastries. We had a bacon butty, really tastey and good quality bacon. The prices are exceptionally low. Really enjoyed it.

He estado aquí muchas veces para tomar una copa y un paseo en bicicleta. tarta de mediados Mucha variedad en lo que a comprar pasteles y tiene un precio muy razonable y sabroso. Fui hoy y tenía un cafetière para dos, una taza de té, 2 bares de energía y un trozo de Tiffin. Todos por £6,75. Quien se puede quejar pagando menos de £1 por un trozo de pastel casero que otros establecimientos cobran más de la cuenta. Max y may siempre te hacen sentir bienvenido. Buena habitación de té de moda. Por favor no cambien.

La pequeña habitación magnífica de té con un montón de sabroso casa tradicional fayre. Comer en el restaurante o para llevar para cocinar en casa más tarde. Max y mayo son bien pasado edad de jubilación pero seguir proporcionando el servicio fantástico y amable que ha perdido en la mayoría de los lugares en otro lugar. Especialmente recomendamos las especialidades locales Thor pasteles

compañero y yo fuimos para una taza de té y un pequeño aperitivo después de visitar Matlock. Esta es la segunda vez que he estado ya que es simplemente genial! Buen aspecto antiguo servicio por los propietarios que claramente encanta hacer lo que hacen y que sirve fantásticos empanadas y tortas caseras. También fue un cambio agradable oír todo el mundo charlando para no molestarnos, en vez de todo el mundo en sus teléfonos o portátil.

Friendly family run. A bit quirky and not "posh" but has a warm atmosphere and clearly owners take pride in all they do. Very traditional dishes but good value.

Qué joya pequeña fabulosa de ahora -un lugar que hemos descubierto que es seguro que se ha convertido en un preferido. Delicioso, tartas caseras y empanadas y una gran variedad de pasteles, bollos, etc. Los propietarios claramente les encanta lo que hacen y lo que parece haber sido un negocio familiar muy apreciadas por muchos años. Paramos en un café y comer un bocado con nuestras dos niñas y nos acogieron muy favorablemente. Nos fuimos abastecido con extra tartas y lasaña casera y el mucho, incluyendo nuestros cafés y brunch vinieron a £11.00 . Wirksworth es todos los más ricos para tener empresas independientes fabulosos, tales como este.

Buscando un desayuno tardío en Wirksworth, encontré este lugar en la B5035 justo abajo del ayuntamiento de la ciudad en el camino a la Ecclesbourne Valley Railway station. pocas mesas, y una baja con cómodas sillas. El inglés por 4,30 euros incluyendo café en una cafetiere - y no es cierto en todos lados, nice-degustación llena salchichas. La gente que vuelve para comida para llevar en butties de tocino o trozos de bizcocho, y acabé justo a tiempo para dar las cómodas sillas para dos huéspedes habituales. Un lugar muy agradable, vale la pena el desvío. He estado allí desde entonces, y otra vez un gran servicio y buena comida.

Este café es un "descuento" y relaciona con antes cuando cafés estaban todos sobre té tartas y pasteles y empanadas, sándwiches y tostadas y no poncy cafés servidos por ersatz 'barman'. Los lugares encaja bien con la naturaleza excéntrica y excéntrico de Wirksworth, con una gran variedad de pasteles, tartas y gastarte empanadas y que tendrían que satisfacer un Dan desesperado por tamaño apetito. Una muestra aleatoria mezcla de gente normal, los excursionistas y senderistas conforman la clientela. Instalaciones y accesorios son sin duda retro, y sentarse en verá arte local y tarros de conserva que adornan las paredes y estanterías. La cafetería ofrece un relajado ambiente sencillo, con un lento lento el servicio que no teníamos prisa no importa qué, así que si estás en prisa probablemente no es una buena idea. El servicio es de nuevo 'en una clase propia', con el personal y el gerente siempre educado y agradar a este último teniendo más de un ligero parecido al profesor Farnsworth en la animada serie 'Futurama'. La más característica es muy "los precios de competencia tanto para llevar y comer en -visitantes del sur de Watford Gap no creo que ellos. Sin duda merece la pena una visita, pero prepárate para esperar, entonces sonrisa y relajarse. Sentado aquí recuerda que no merece la pena tomar nada demasiado en serio, y cualquier problema puede ser fijado con una buena taza de té.

The tea rooms are a very local enterprise, quirky and pleasant but rather slow and haphazard, what you get is good basic food a bit heavy on pastry but it tends to take a while: OK if you have time but we were in a bit of a hurry and it didn't really help, things also get forgotten when you order. They're very nice and they try hard but slow if you're not used to the odd pace of life which is Wirksworth

A real gem - perfectly cooked food and great cakes and pastries. Especially recommend the local specialty Thor Cakes. Eat on the premises or take home to cook.

You'll get some of the best cakes ever in this lovely little tearoom. Max & May are very friendly & do a super cup of tea too! If you're in Wirksworth, make time for a visit here.

Creo que esta pequeña cafetería ha sido alrededor durante muchos años. Justo abajo del Red Lion pub, cerca de la plaza del mercado, en Wirksworth, la comida es básica a precios que no he visto durante aproximadamente 30 años. Estar bastante local vamos regularmente, y nuestro "normal" (que nos conocen ahora) de huevos revueltos en brown tostadas para dos, uno Earl Grey té y una cafetiere de café, viene a alrededor de £7. También tienen otras cosas en tostadas, unas pocas comidas más sustanciales, y un montón de tartas ... más deliciosas tartas caseras. La mayoría de estas están disponibles para llevar. El lugar no es nada lujoso, sólo es un agradable y tradicional café. La gente de la zona la use un montón y probablemente charlar con usted, si quieres; Wirksworth es un poco antiguo. Sin duda debe probarlo!

No puedo creer que este lugar no parecían haber sido revisado en Tripadvisor como ha sido por mucho tiempo.
