No.6 the Square in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My self and my husband visited the tea rooms today and enjoyed a fantastic cup of coffee and a beautiful cake.I unfortunately got the wrong day for our stay in Buxton but the lovely lady called Emma went over and above to find us alternative accommodation with nothing being too much trouble.Thank you again Emma and we look forward to visiting your beautiful tea room in the future.

Had a lovely breakfast. Staff were fantastic and very attentive.

Had afternoon tea there one day, and light supper the next day. Light supper was 5 stars. I had a smoked salmon sandwich which came with vegetable crisps and salad at a very reasonable £9.95. Fresh and delicious. My partner had a quiche which came with salad, which he also said was great. I'd only give the afternoon tea 3.5 stars. It looked lovely on the plate. The sandwiches were lovely - fresh and well filled. Great choice of hot drinks which you could have an unlimited supply of. The scones were a disappointment. One was cooked through, but the other was undercooked, doughy and inedible. Some cakes were great (Victoria sandwich, meringue, carrot cake) and the fresh fruit dotted around was a nice touch, but the other cakes weren't that great. There was really too much (we had most of the cake the next day). It would have been better value and quality to order a sandwich and a slice of cake.

Absolutely delicious food. I had mushrooms on sourdough with a delicious garlicky lemony sauce & my husband had prawns and salmon with brown bread. Could not fault it. Nicest food in ages

This came across as a very popular place to go to, quality of the food and cakes are excellent, staff are friendly and welcoming , prices are as would expect for the quality you receive.

Excellent choice of food. Good selection of gluten free food including gorgeous gf cakes

We had a lovely one night stay. We stayed in the Pavillion room, which is at the front of the building. We had glorious views of the park & the theatre. The room was large, with a huge bed with the softest duvet ever. The bathroom was also very nice with lovely toiletries provided. The location is superb, minutes away from the town centre shops & right opposite the theatre, with restaurants & pubs nearby too. We had breakfast in the tearoom, we had to wait over 20 mins as it was being freshly cooked. A full English was £15 with a pot of tea. If was very nice - it arrived with a black pudding & a flat bread, (?) neither of which I ate. And there were no mushrooms which we missed. All in all a lovely night away.

We enjoyed a superb stay in fantastic, spotlessly clean, quiet accommodation, with lovely views of nearby landmarks. Perfect for a visit to the opera house. The location is great, central to everything of note in Buxton and lots of stylish restaurants and bars nearby. Breakfast in the tearoom is extra to the room rate, but was great value and quality. Shout out to the polite, confident and helpful staff that checked us in, carried our case up the stairs, managed our breakfast and checked us out. This place is wonderfully managed and we can’t wait to return.

Delicious food.. really tasty sandwiches.. I had Coronation Chicken with salad and a side of Chips and lovely a coffee. There were 12 of us.. all the food came out quickly even though they were busy

Perfect spot - excellent varied menu. We enjoyed a variety of excellent food from an interesting menu. The Turkish Eggs were outstanding! Great staff!

Quintessentially English. Love eccentric places with quirky tea pots as far as the eye can see. Tourists will love this place !

We called into No.6 The Square Tearooms as something of a last minute, spontaneous, afternoon tea, treat during holiday time and found it to be an elegant, charming tearooms with very welcoming, attentive staff. Our afternoon tea was of a high standard with a good selection of cakes and a small choice of sandwiches; there was copious amounts of tea with staff checking that all was well and offering to top up the teapot if needs be. All in all a lovely visit and we would have no hesitation is highly recommending

We decided to go to No 6 The Square for lunch, it is a lovely little cafe, the staff were very friendly and polite. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing, I had homity pie, which I presume had been in the microwave to long, it was over cooked, my husband had a bacon, brie and cranberry ciabatta which was very difficult to eat (again over cooked), we didn’t like to complain at the time, the cafe was very busy, unfortunately we wont t be going back again, it was very expensive for a very poor meal

Nice tearooms in a great location. Menu is good and varied. They forgot a couple of items from our order but fixed it when we asked. Overall a good spot.

We visited yesterday, 22nd March to meet up with friends,who had booked in advance. All the staff were surly, bordering on sharp, and disinterested, resulting in our having to make multiple requests. The tearooms themselves were cramped beyond belief, resulting in customers having to disturb your meal and flow of conversation to get in and out. The table itself was unfit for a party of 4 people, forcing us to remove saucers from cups to facilitate the plates. The food itself was only mediocre, and the coffee very weak and cool. Needless to say, we shall not be returning.

An excellent tearoom in the centre of Buxton. When I visited, it appeared that reservation was a must at certain times.

Whilst visiting Buxton we had breakfast here twice. Delicious food both times and very friendly efficient service. Highly recommended

We had booked to visit the cinema & decided to go early for breakfast prior to the cinema. We were not disappointed the food was amazing, the staff were very friendly we sat by the window & had a lovely view of the park. Would highly recommend & will definitely be returning. The dining room was very elegant.

Attended for an afternoon scone and tea on 20.02.2024 with my wife and 94 year old mother. As we went to enter a very surly waitress approached us and said that there were no tables available giving absolutely no indication of how long we would need to wait. She then shut the interior door leaving us in the small area between the outside and interior door. After a few minutes we were invited into the downstairs seating area and taken to a free table. The area was busy with a large party who were already eating along with a couple sitting together by the window. After a few minutes waiting the couple gained the attention of the same waitress and asked it it would be possible to have some menus. We were seemingly ignored at this point. A few minutes later a lady along with her granddaughter came and sat at a table beside ours. She was immediately approached by the same waitress and a request for a menu was very quickly responded to. After a couple of minutes the lady and granddaughter were revisited by the very same waitress who took their food orders completely ignoring both ourselves and the couple who had entered before us. After a few more minutes the couple expressed their disatisfaction at the awful service and left the premises without making any order. At no point did the aforementioned waitress offer us a menu and we eventually asked one of her colleagues if we could actually order something. The lady with her granddaughter at this point realised that we had been waiting patiently with no success and offered us her apologies for what had happened. We eventually placed an order for a scone and tea which was then served quickly and was very tasty. My wife then went to the counter to pay and again for whatever reason was initially ignored by the same waitress and only attended to when she made a point that she was stood waiting to pay and wished to leave However the whole experience was soured by the attitude of the one member of staff who in my humble opinion needed a basic lesson in attitude. All other members of staff who engaged with us were polite and cheerful.

Very nice, clean and comfortable room. Very friendly staff.

Estuvo bueno, buen lugar para pasar el dia y comer algo muy típico ingles. Te, cafe, sándwich ingles, y muchos dulces Recomendado

It was my second visit to Buxton and just noticed this tearoom. We had an exquisite full english veggie breakfast and I loved it, the finest I’ve ever had 😍 Everything was perfect especially veggie sausages, tasted like real meat 🥩 The vibes were so relaxing for having my tea. Last but not least,they had an excellent service,what a friendly aunty 🤍 I’ll be back for sure 😍

Booked the afternoon tea as a treat on my wife's birthday. Considering the price, £50 for two people sharing, it was pretty disappointing. Sandwhiches okay, weak tea, very dark crumbly scone and a few small cakes which were a bit Mr Kipling really. Very overpriced. I can't describe the premises or decor, because we never saw them! Having asked, when booking afternoon tea, if they were dog friendly, I was told, yes, as long as we sat upstairs. Fair enough, I thought, but as it turned out, on arrival, we were led upstairs to what was basically a narrow rear corridor at the rear, leading nowhere, with two tables. Felt like a pariah, totally unable to enjoy the ambience of the main rooms, which we didn't even see. Frankly, I wish we hadn't bothered.

The cafe was very popular, we recommend booking. We arrived at 11am and got what was probably the last available table (There appeared to be a wedding function upstairs, this may have reduced table availability for walk-ins) We had drinks and cakes, of which there was a wide choice. An enjoyable visit, we would go again.

Delicious food with a warm atmosphere. Great place to go before visiting the opera house

We stayed for just one night and was very impressed with the value for money for the room. A traditional feel which is very clean and spacious. The bed was huge and all amenities were beyond adequate. The breakfast was a little on the expensive side but very nice. Very conveniently located too.

A fabulous stay and breakfast at No 6 Wonderful quirky room with view over the roof tops. Spacious comfortable room located within stunning building that is literally across the road from the Opera House. Wonderful choice for breakfast which was of excellent quality. Warm welcome from all at No 6

Easy menu, not easy to get a table if you have not booked. They reserve the tables and they are empty while customers get sent away because "we are full" don't know how this is sensible in this day and age. Not he friendliest of places if your not local if you ask for anything extra they act like they are to busy to accommodate. Having said this on our 3rd attempt to eat here we did and the food was ok. The ambience and cafe were cold...worth noting as winter is around the corner......

The environment is very pleasant, though perhaps over-crowded at times. We had tea and coffee which were up to scratch. Our main gripe was the high-end prices, which outpaced even the more expensive alternatives in the town. I would have opted for a hot chocolate, but declined when I discovered that they use UHT 'squirty' cream. Really, from such an establishment and at over £4 per cup, one would expect better, especially whene real cream dispensers are cheap and readily available.

Afternoon tea should be delicate, a treat. The sandwiches were the best part here, with good quality ham and lots of smoked salmon. But the scones were dry and the cakes were either bought in (meringue) or very basic (fridge cake/tiffin and caramel slice) or dry again (carrot cake). We left most of the cakes and the waitress didn't ask us why, which led us to believe that's normal for their customers. There are better way to spend £25 per head.

A really nice friendly place for coffee or lunch. The cakes looked lovely and setting near the Pavilion and Opera House is great.

Standards dropped noticeably & staff are brusque! Went to Hargreaves instead, top notch food and efficient polite service even when very busy (Sat lunch)

We waited for an hour for our dinner at the nearby Old Hall restaurant . They said they lost the order after an hour ! ( Another group who came on the same time with us were waiting for an hour as well) Then we left and went into this cafe on our way to opera. Though their kitchen was closed after hearing our bad experience they let us in. ( we said we are OK with cold food ) Wonderful plates came in a few minutes. The owner who served us was very welcoming and nice. They rescued us and the town !

Great place for brunch. 10 of us pre booked and Louise was so helpful and accommodating. We were all served quickly and our food was really tasty. It was also incredibly good value. Thank you for having us.

We went inside hoping for breakfast even though there was no indication on the board outside that they served anything other than coffee, tea and lunch. We were seated in a charming room at the front, given breakfast menus and were served with the most delicious derbyshire oatcakes, local bacon & maple syrup. There was an extensive choice of proper leaf teas and everything on the counter and in the chiller looked fabulous. Great service from a very friendly lady who told us where we could buy the oatcakes and bacon so we could recreate the meal back in our holiday cottage. Lovely Georgian colonnaded building with views of the opera house and park.

Looking for lunch in Buxton we don’t think you can go past number six. Food and menu range is very good and there are gluten-free options.. The staff are very friendly. They have good local knowledge and are happy to engage. Definitely try the steak and ale pie if you’re not gluten intolerant. A wonderful afternoon lunch in a very relaxing atmosphere.

This seemed like a lovely place but was completely let down by the awful scone they served, not even jam and cream could save it as it was so dry it was inedible. The cake was nice however and it was a nice place to sit but really should have done better. I still had to pay for the scone too, the staff just apologised despite being unable to eat it, so was really disappointed with the whole experience.

Fabulous afternoon tea. Great service, attentive but not too attentive and plenty of tea. Will be back.

We stopped here en route home to near Bradford after a short holiday in Shropshire. We usually go to the Pavillion Gardens, but after their lack of gluten free options - or just knowledge and helpfulness - we tried this tearoom across the road and were extremely pleasantly surprised. A really great coeliac-friendly lunch menu (recommend the homity pie!) and the cakes were delicious. Good service and very clean toilets as well. Would highly recommend.

I booked this place as a treat for my mum for a belated Mothers Day surprise. I booked 2 afternoon teas which were just average. Choice of three sandwiches, ham, smoked salmon and cream cheese. Approx three finger sandwiches each. One fruit scone and a selection of cakes with refillable tea or coffee. £25 each which I thought was over priced as other surrounding places offered the same for between £18-22. I chose No 6 because of the overall Buxton day out experience but left feeling a little disappointed.

Visited on a wet afternoon. Shared a delicious slice of chocolate cake and pot of tea for two. Nothing nicer than being well looked after, while looking out on the sodden Pavilion Gardens!

The fantastic reviews about this tearoom and its afternoon tea weren't wrong. We had the most wonderful of afternoon teas (including prosecco) at no.6. The sandwiches were delicious (and choices/dietary requirements taken into account). Replenishment to the pots of tea were swift and the selection of cakes were yummy.A special mention to the size of the fruit scones and the amount of clotted cream...incredible.The staff were very friendly. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

No 6 managed to squeeze us in on a busy, wet Saturday afternoon. A lovely big pot of tea between two helped warmed us up and my Welsh rarebit on crumpets felt like a real treat.

My mum recommended this cafe to me and my friend. The lady on the phone when I rang up was really miserable but we managed to book a table last minute so we were really happy with that. All staff in the cafe were also really unhappy and the atmosphere felt really miserable unfortunately because of this. We had to keep asking for things, like a drink, some cake etc, no one came over to see if we were ok or if we wanted anything else, and we didn’t want to keep getting up to go to the till for things due to COVID restrictions. The food was very tasty but it was quite pricey and not a particularly nice experience to make it worth that price. I wouldn’t rush back unfortunately

We had looked forward to No 6 re-opening and were not disappointed. GF quiche, roasted veg quiche and panini all with salad and fries were excellent as usual

On a wet October afternoon, we were lucky to have booked an afternoon tea at No.6. The place is cosy, decorated with Buxton memorabilia. The afternoon tea was very generous (3 types of sandwiches, 1 large fruit scone, brownies, meringue, and other cakes ok offer), well priced and delicious. Others at our table had a vegetarian quiche (with chips and salad), which was lovely too. A great experience (with all Covid-related precautions taken).

We stopped here for a coffee whilst exploring Buxton. We were surprised to learn that they do not offer flat white coffees although they had every other coffee!

No-one came to my table to welcome or serve me so after 5 minutes I went to the till only to be told to sit down and someone would come. They did eventually. When the cream tea came, the scone had been warmed by microwave so it was quite hot inside, had gone floppy and hard to cut in half or pick up. The cream and jam were good. The tea was advertised as "English Breakfast" but one sip revealed a horrible taste - more like a "Supermarket economy brand" . The paper teabag inside the pot looked suspiciously like a low cost option, with no branding or label/tab. I'm sorry, but considering the "tea rooms" title, there is no excuse for this - decent tea bags cost just a few pence more than cheapo ones wholesale !

Lovely old building, good service and delicious food. I had the spinach and goats cheese quiche and it was a real treat for the taste buds.

gorgeous tea shop with lots of character and the cakes tasted great, if in Buxton again i would go and have tea there.We had take-away cake which took ages to package and unfortunately it had just been wrapped into paper and stacked on top of each other. would advise against take-away

Quick stop for a bite to eat. Upstairs has been opened up since our last visit and a lovely terrace outside - food as good as always - carrot cake tasted better than last time. Excellent service from all staff. Lovely to see a cafe doing so well in these times. Keep up the good work !

Lovely tea room with excellent coffee and friendly staff. Spacing very good, however due to covid you have to wait outside to be seated and staff a little slow to acknowledge you’re there or to invite you in. However, once in lovely.

I've eaten here on a number of occasions. The best room is the one to the left of the entrance hall. It has a lovely fire. The food is always good and of a high quality.

We nipped in for a quick lunch whilst in the area and just had a panini/sandwich. We waited quite some time (about 45mins from ordering - we had waited about 15mins to order so was about an hour after entering that we got food) but it was a relatively busy Saturday lunchtime, we were in no rush, so it wasn’t too much of an issue waiting. The food however after this wait was a bit disappointing - the panini was average and a bit bland, however the sandwich my husband ordered was literally 2 slices of bread cut into 4 triangles with a small side salad and barely any filling. The price clearly reflects the central location (opposite the pavilion) and not the food. Wouldn’t return. Perhaps the afternoon tea options are better but wouldn’t recommend ordering a sandwich here.

Had a lovely afternoon tea on the terrace. Hubby hada breakfast quiche which was delicious. Staff very friendly and very clean.

We arrived at the tearooms where we were staying,only 4 rooms,spacious,but teapot had water in it,WiFi didn't work,soap container was empty,no breakfast included,very old property,tiny TV in room,too be honest wouldnt stay again.Expensive for what you got.

First time to Buxton and we visited the cafe on the back of great trip advisor reviews. We can’t wait to come again and dine. We sat outside as we have 2 dogs and it is well sheltered (architecture allows for this) beautiful building. Food delicious with a perfectly quaint menu and we were pleased with the service. Smiley staff. Water brought for dogs without us asking which is a nice touch (dog owners will know) Fully recommend.

Never been until today. Just called outof curiosity, we only had afternoon tea with home made cake, it was really nice and i will call again thats for sure.

A wonderful place to stay. I would recommend a stay at No 6 to anyone. A fabulous boutique hotel experience. From the wonderful, friendly welcome that you receive from the lovely host, to the fabulous array of goodies that are available the next morning for breakfast (we had the delicious eggs benedict) it was a fabulous stay. Our room, which overlooked the gardens was very spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and modern. The location of No 6 is fabulous too, with parking right outside the front door, which cost only £3 for 24 hours!!! It is also right in the heart of town, with ease of access to bars and restaurants. I would recommend a stay here to anyone. It is a real gem of a find!

Went with my friend and had an excellent time. The food is very good, I had a prawn and smoked salmon salad, very tasty and plenty. Their home made cakes and gateaux are a must. Very clean and all Covid-19 precautions being taken. Have booked to go again at the end of the month.

We stopped here for the night in the pavilion suite which isn’t on trip advisor oddly, as it’s a lovely place. Very clean and spacious and the room has bundles of character compared to the big chain hotels. Absolutely wonderful time with my partner and would recommend to anyone! Thank you no.6 for a wonderful time

We called in on a stop for lunch whilst visiting Buxton. Great food and service received, very friendly

Stayed in Buxton for the weekend and had our sights set on visiting No.6 for Afternoon Tea.By the time we enquired they were closed , however I emailed to see if we could book for the following day and No.6 responded straight away.We arrived for our slot and were seated in a quiet room to the left of the main entrance.Pots of tea came straight away and the food arrived not long after.Light and fresh selection of sandwiches, however the scones were definitely the highlight.Couldn't manage the top tier dessert selection, however there wasn't a problem having it boxed up to take home.Staff were great, big thanks to Lesley and the team for the great experience!

An absolute delight. The food is delicious and location is beautiful overlooking the Pavilion Gardens. A warm and friendly atmosphere in traditional yet modern surroundings! I cannot fault the place and can’t wait to return! :)

Very cosy with a coal fire. Lovely food and great coffee. Attentive staff and a great location near the opera house.

Been visiting this place for years. Always good, and always busy. Sometime difficult to get a table. However, feels like something has changed. Much fewer staff and very slow service. We arrived for lunch at 12, were seated promptly and ordered food by 12:15. Why/how it too 45 minutes to prepare 2 soups and sandwiches is beyond me. Waitresses could see we were getting impatient but just carried on, without so much as a comment on the delay. When food arrived at 1 with a mumbled apology our day was already ruined. Nice cafe in good spot. Food is fresh. Give yourselves a few hours though, as the service is very, very, very, very slow.

I used to visit the cafe quite regularly and it was one of my favourites, but the last few visits haven't been good. Overcooked food one visit, eggs were requested runny and what arrived was the hardest boiled eggs I have ever seen, for all 3 of us. The next visit we received absolutely appalling service from one of ladies, so much so that we left as soon as possible. (everyone else there is so lovely, so it's a shame this woman cannot follow)Finally, the last visit, I went for an afternoon tea and was so looking forward to their various scrumptious homemade cakes from the displays. But no. We were served what looked like, and tasted like, cheap shop bought cupcakes, mini pavlovas with a couple of berries on and mediocre shortbread

What a scone. What a terrific scone. Jam, clotted cream. Perfect. I’m on a diet but was happy to forgo my abstemious February planner for this. Nom

A regular meeting place with friends, the atmosphere is cosy and warm and the decor tasteful. Yes, it can get quite busy but you can reserve a table. There are times when there is a queue but that just reflects the popularity of this tearoom. Today, a sunny but frosty and cold day, we sat by a roaring fire and enjoyed our hot drinks, tea cakes and scones. Our young member of staff was friendly and efficient.

Called in late in the afternoon. The staff member advised us that they closed at 4pm (it was about 3:20) but was happy to serve us. Warm friendly and helpful. Nothing to fault.

Lovely, beautifully decorated tearooms. On a recent visit my plate of food was cold; the poached eggs were overcooked and tasted strongly of vinegar. Portions appear to have diminished too since a previous visit and were served up on smaller plates. All fairly disappointing. Service could be friendlier.

We dropped in here whilst returning from shopping and popping into the Opera House. A pleasant place with friendly staff. Feeling somewhat under the weather due to illness, we ordered tea and scones for two - cream and jam. We got the tea and scones, but butter and jam, plus the admittedly fresh scones were suffering from some odd affliction - the moment you cut into them, they fell apart! Hungry, thirsty and both running temperatures, we waded through and just couldn't be bothered to complain. At least the tea was delicious and strong. If the tea room reads this, try scones using flour with at least a bit of gluten in it and get the order right.

This has to be the slowest poorest service we have ever experienced. It used to be a lovely place but somehow the service has fallen off a cliff

Very pretty setting, waited a while to be seated, but service was fine. Cake was delicious. £15 for tea and cake for 2.

We quickly popped in here before grabbing the train back to Manchester. Inside the setting was a quintessential British tea room, so no surprises there.

A bit expensive (we paid 30gbp for 2) but very fresh and tasty sweets and sandwiches, very nice environment and excellent service... we had a great time there and we would definitely revisit

We just caught the end of breakfast. I had the bacon and scrambled eggs with granary toast. I was a little confused as I thought it was a sandwich but then appeared as separate elements! Nevertheless, the bacon was clearly locally sourced, the scrambled egg was delicious and the lovely lady who served us offered us hot water as extra to our tea for two, which I thought was a really special touch. Would absolutely recommend as the cakes looked delicious too, was just too full to try them!

Called here with my daughter on chance visit to Buxton and called here before a while ago - Not dissappointed we both had the cheese and onion Quiche which was excellent with a pot of earl grey for my daughter and english breakfast for me Followed by Delicious lemon meringue tartlet and my daughter had apple pie both delicious

We arrived about half 3 and waited by the “please wait to be seated” sign to be approached by a lady asking if we were being served! Clearly not since we were waiting to be seated . She gave us the last remaining table and came to take our order before we’d even sat down. there wasn’t a huge choice of cakes. I ordered a scone and it was the last one they had and I have to say I was very disappointed! About two cm thick and more like a rock cake, dry and couldn’t get the knife through it. when I did try to cut through it it crumbled like biscuit. The carrot cake was also dry. So all in all a disappointment really. Shame because the premises are nice it’s in a good location and has a lot of character . As a tourist we wouldn’t go back anyway but it’s a shame the food wasn’t nicer .

This place is just lovely. Food and cakes are beautiful and the tearoom its self is immaculately presented and within beautiful surroundings. This place is busy so would recommend booking just to be on the safe side but never the less so worth a visit if you are visiting Buxton or surrounding areas. Staff are lovely and really good prices! Keep up the good work!

Went for lunch tried on several occasions when in the area to visit, but has always been booked up so we booked this time and so pleased we did as we enjoyed it and will definately visit it again when coming to Buxton. The food is lovely and very nice surroundings just opposite the beautiful theatre. Loved it.

Table outside so had to be our own waitress ordered inside tea sandwiches and chips .Disappointing ! Tea excellent but bread dry on sandwiches and chips not the best quality.Service lack lustre think it was the end of the day!

The place is lovely, really nice staff good prices and a lot of options. We couldn't get our dogs in but they have some nice sits outside.

I am a regular visitor and local and must say my wonderful first impression of this beautiful tea room have been damaged by further visits. The staff are a bit cold, a couple of times have been made to feel I was an inconvenience waiting for a table! The food can be superb but as homemade have had a few dud meals. I have seen many people return coffees as being too cold/weak so think team could do with further training.

My partner and I went into the Tearoom just after 3:30pm on Thursday, looking forward to a cream tea, after researching places to eat online.

Had a lovely visit here! Friendly atmosphere. Being a vegan, staff were effective and super helpful at answering any dietary questions i had! Service was quick and food was delicious. Definitely be returning!

we received vouchers for this lovely looking place and drove to buxton for almost an hour. the service was awful; the waitress took the order after 40 minutes of waiting and after further 20 we received our drinks and food. two sandwiches (avocado and chicken, grilled goats cheese + tom) were lovely but the daily special (steak and mushroom) was disguisting, meat was chewy and we left it. shame as this is beautiful place, just not managed right.

Called in for afternoon tea with my wife for afternoon tea. We'd chosen here because the reviews looked good. We were seated at a table for two, the wasn't overly busy and we place an order for Afternoon tea for two £28, after about 5 minutes or so our pot of tea arrived, another 30 minutes later and the food had still not arrived (tea was consumed by now). I decided we'd waited too long than was to be reasonably expected and approached the manageress to say i'd pay for the tea put we weren't prepared to wait any longer and were going to leave, she refused payment for the pot of tea, but said it wasn't her fault as they were busy ? (empty tables) and she wasn't in the kitchen ? Then one of the young waitress's started to argue back in front of other customers ! (amazing). I think some training is needed in communication and customer service skills to the serving staff. Not a great experience, also another customers sat outside also complained about the delayed service that they'd received.

very friendly and dog friendly as well Great cakes coffee and other drinks. Inside as well as out service was very quick very comfortable furnishings and hsitoric building

All positives...food, atmosphere, service...i couldn't think of another word to describe this beauty...i hope Quaint doesn't offend...loved it!!! Go there...eat there...and you'll love it...

We were looking for a place for a late lunch or afternoon tea in Buxton and found No.6 in the lovely setting near the Opera House. My friend has to have gluten-free food and is often met with a long explanation of what they can and can't do, why they can't do it, what substitutes are available (usually not very satisfactory!). None of that at the No.6!! The young lady said simply 'Yes!' to our enquiry about gluten-free food and took our order for the afternoon tea. It arrived very soon, and was an excellent selection of sandwiches, cakes and scones. My friend's gluten-free version was exactly the same as mine, no half-hearted substitutes or omissions.

I have frequented this tearooms for a few years. It’s very quaint and has some marvellous foods available. The tea is always nice. This past visit I ordered the carrot cake it was a little dry so the tea was a must. Not sure if it was the end of he week/day but I prefer a much more moist cake. The wasps were particularly pesky today inside and outside. This is not a reflection of the restaurant for the outside seats as this should be expected at this time of the year however perhaps a better pest filter for the inside users would be a benefit to their visitors. Would definitely be returning with family and friends. I’ll

The two of us had lunch with a friend. Food was very good; service was friendly and unfussy. Location next to the Pavilion Gardens very convenient.

Came to Buxton for their excellent opera festival and had supper here before a performance. It was good and service was good and timely too.

The choice,value,and service make No.6 a must place to visit.A lovely meal in a lovely old building.

The tearoom is in a beautiful building close to the Pavilion in Buxton, so right on the main drag for visitors. We visited mid-morning and were surprised that they operate table service, so you need to look at the cakes in the till area before you sit down.

We travelled out by train from Manchester to Buxton to enjoy the Town, meet friends for lunch and Opera in the evening. Arriving early and walking up into the centre we came across No 6 opposite the Opera house and stopped for morning coffee. The building and decor is everything that you would imagine a Georgian style cafe to be. Friendly, efficient staff, seating both inside and out plus good coffee. The cake array was very impressive, we were sitting not far from the counter and there were constant Ooh’s and Aah’s as new customers arrived. A very good start to our day.

Lovely setting, lovely interiors with super cakes and a nice cup of tea. However service was rather haphazard and the light meals were a bit variable - some bits were really fresh and tasty, others somewhat insipid e.g. prawns. Not awful but just needs a bit of all round tweaking to realise its potential

Went for afternoon tea. Whilst the food was nice, the service left something to be desired. Waited over 40 mins to be served once seated, they served us the wrong sandwiches adding further delay. It also took far too long to receive the bill. We saw others suffer a similar fate. Could be excellent if more focus is given to timely service.

Had a lovely lunch here and my dad loved the ploughman’s and the cheese I love the oak cakes wish I get them at home where I’m from Surrey we don’t have them reasonable price and great service
