Railway Tea Room in Amber Valley

I called by for a quick breakfast sandwich takeaway before work. I wanted to spend at a local independent business and try somewhere new. I wish I hadn’t picked here… I ordered a sausage sandwich for £3 and chucked it straight in the bin after one bite. Chewy microwaved pre-cooked sausages on cheap white bread with a measly bit of ketchup. I wouldn’t even pay 50p for that. The owners should be ashamed of this… if this is the usual standard of food I’d expect them to be closed down soon.

Lovely ladies. Good service. Pretty tea room with sensible prices. Clean bathroom. Garden seating too

Shocking I think 90% of it was microwaved And they serve breakfast on very small plates toast was ok and drinks where ok I understand it is very hard to make money at the moment but there was absolutely no effort in that breakfast. even the small plates where wet Tined chopped tomatoes where not reduced or seasoned and the bacon must have be reheated as it had hard parts

Raw sausage, asked for poached eggs, got fried, cold plate, very over priced Small breakfast is on a side plate Can of 7up £2.20 Won't be returning

Stopped off with my wife after visiting a local tourist attraction. I hadn't been for almost 4 years and still as good as ever : Homely Good Quality Food Reasonably priced Attentive and Polite Staff All in All 9/10

Had heard good reports of the food on offer from this little café. To celebrate our wedding anniversary I ordered an afternoon takeaway tea for two. Well what a tea! Enough for four and a good selection of sandwiches, scones (with cream and jam), cake, fancies, grapes, srawberries. Would definitely recommend this cafė and we can't wait to try out a sit down meal there.

I visited Railway Tearooms with my family in June, for a small cooked breakfast and loose leaf tea. The breakfast was beautifully cooked: sausage, bacon, egg, tomatoes, beans and as a separate addition mushrooms, and served with equally lovely service. Seated on the top floor with a view over the historic Belper railway. What’s not to love about Belper tearooms! 10/10, Clare should be very proud of the cafe and her brilliant team. Will definitely be visiting again soon :)

The owner really cares about this place. Has the foresight to have a full baby changing facility in the toilet. Took some refesshments, scone was warm and fresh and home made, not commercial, and cream and jam, not just a cash and carry portion. Good hot chocolate. Pleasant staff-too, pretty attentive. Drop by, you will be welcome, IF you can get a seat! Didn't see any reading material around, that might be useful as people chit-chat etc:-, but keep up the good work.

Called in for a light lunch, as the name suggests this is one of the former railway cottages now converted to a small business offering a varied menu of snacks - hot and cold, good coffee and a good selection of cold drinks. Lovely welcoming staff and a rear garden sitting area when weather permits.

Lovely welcoming tearoom. Sweet and savoury. The breakfast was brilliant. At least 4 choices of soup. Jacket potato wow. Toilet upstairs so not accessible to wheelchair users. The cafe is in an old terrace house. Very homely, immaculately clean. Set in the centre of Belper.

Quaint little tea room. Service impeccable and food delicious and piping hot. Plenty to choose from. Little outside seating area too. Don't walk passed, pop in, you won't be disappointed.

Good service, nice atmosphere and plenty of cakes etc to chose from. Lunch was excellent and very fresh. Definitely recommend

Visited here recently on a Saturday morning, fairly busy early, converged terraced cottage. Staff were very pleasant, clean tables, a little cramped but not really a problem. We had toasted teacakes, tea and coffee and was very nice. The full breakfasts being served looked very nice as well. I prefer less busy places as the noise from a local customer was distracting, but after all it was a busy Saturday. Worth a visit

Just what you want. Nice food cooked correctly with a friendly non fussy service. Away from bustle of High Street. Will go back

Popped in for lunch and were tempted by the wide choice of freshly made dishes from soups to quiches to sandwiches. Based in a converted terrace house overlooking the railway, the cafe has all the characteristics of a railway man's home. Opted for the freshly made cheese and onion flan with salad - very tasty. Wide variety of hot and cold drinks available- opted for a large cappuccino- unique to the cafe itself. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and professional in the service provided. Overall a pleasant experience.

A unexpected find, nice cafe serving very traditional menu. Nice tea , sandwiches and cakes. Worth finding.

Popped in for lunch as have passed it a few time so thought we would give it a try. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the menu isn’t particularly extensive but we each found something. The portions were small for the price, with a very plain side salad and a few crisps. The cakes were quite dry, we all had the same cake so cannot say if all the cakes would be the same. All in all it was just an ok visit, don’t think we will be heading there again :(

Went for lunch, nice cakes, very accommodating. The restaurant is a bit tatty and the scones were small, but the baguettes excellent and the staff very friendly. Would go again.

Visited this lovely cafe yesterday & as soon as you enter there’s a very warm, friendly feel to the place. We ordered our choice of food & drinks & there was plenty of options. We decided to try the scones, with a pot of tea. We did t have to wait long before our drinks were brought to us. Our tea was lovely & hot & we had china cups & saucers to drink out of which was lovely.Our scones arrived, I enjoyed a cherry scone, my friend a fruit scone. They were freshly baked & still warm. They smelled delicious. We had a choice of butter or cream with jam, which we both opted for butter & jam. The jam was home made, & the scones were as delicious as they smelled.An enjoyable drink in a wonderful little cafe which was extremely clean, friendly & I would definitely go there again. Highly recommended

Called in for tea and cake with the family, can't fault the place, lovely quaint tea room, friendly service, nice tea, delicious cakes.

Lovely relaxed friendly cafe serving good black decaf coffee with home made food wide selection of home made cakes and biscuits reasonably priced

Friends and I have either coffee and cake or a light lunch here on a regular basis. Every time the service is excellent and the food consistently good. Excellent value for money.

Visited with my Mum, a first time for us both. Friendly service.... with a smile 😊. Lovely homemade mushroom soup, a tasty baguette and fab coffee. Will definitely return.

I often come to this place for my lunch panini and everytime it's absolutely amazing. I cant fault the place or the staff. I always have a bacon and cheese panini and i will be coming in many more times to come for one aswell.

A really nice place to come for a lovely breakfast. I really wish they do bigger plates as the food is packed into a small plate and no where to put your toast. Be good if they did hashbrowns. This place is by far the best for breakfast.

Looking for a café/tearoom in Belper we discovered the Railway Tea Room and were delighted to partake of warm and tasty cheese scones washed down with excellent lattes.

This is a quirky little tea rooms. It's in a house and feels like you are walking into someone's sitting room. Lovely loose leaf tea and excellent cheese scones.

This lovely, little tea room is tucked away down Midland View off King Street in Belper. It is in a 2 up, 2 down terraced house right next to the Derby-Matlock railway line. There are tables downstairs and up with old photos of Belper and the Railway adorning the walls. The full English breakfast is very popular; soup, quiche and sandwiches for lunch all accompanied by excellent coffee and, of course, tea. There is a comfortable, community feel to the place which, together with a friendly, helpful staff, make this place a must when visiting Belper.

Nice character, lovely service, I think we had yesterday's cake though as they were a little dry. But will be back for a cuppa again.

Utilises the space of this two up two down terrace remarkably well. Toilet has a bath in it that is covered to facilitate baby nappy changing.

CAMOUFLAGED...hiding in an alley beside the Railway lines through Belper. I only dropped in for a coffee, whilst my friends indulged a 'light lunch'. 'Atmospheric' the key word...ergonomic is what the Tea Room is not! Yup, we were all a bit cramped, watching fresh, real ingredients, being turned into pleasant dishes...the kitchen really is that close by.

Walked past this tea room weekly for many years and could kick myself for not trying it out before now. Had a friend come to stay and checked out the tearoom online reviews for Belper. The Railway tearoom came out top. Had the loose leaf tea, tasted delicious, reminded me of my nan's tea. Followed by toasted cheese and onion sandwiches and warm scones with clotted cream and jam. Lovely china cups and saucers, it reminded me of sitting in my grandma's parlour.

Portions were a little small for the price and were bulked out with crisps and an uninspiring salad. Not a great range of food, which includes a couple of quiche, sandwiches, cooked breakfast and a few cakes. I felt my cake was dry. The mocha was good.

Been a couple of times and have been very impressed - what a lovely local little gem - great value and quality - lovely to see the hand baking happening in the kitchen - lovely friendly staff

Stopped off for a pot of tea and panini. This is a lovely tea room and food was great. Reasonably priced too. Staff were friendly x

Called here today for elevenses . Very handy for the Co-op car park , and much better value than other cafes in the area . Nice pot of tea, and china cups and saucers !

Popped in today to have a breakfast and we were very impressed Indeed. Lovely hot, fresh, good quality ingredients used for the breakfast. It was hot and fresh and we really enjoyed it. Very small quaint tea rooms with nice friendly staff

Wow, You need to know where this delightful cafe is, blink and you will miss it. We popped in for a light lunch not knowing what to expect, we found a gem. A friendly welcoming cafe. Food was delicious well presented and arrived quickly.

Called here on a cold afternoon,we were the only people in , the coffee was good and hot the cake yummy. The only observation was it’s a little tired around the edges . The staff were very friendly, would call again

This place is a nice cosy place, it looks like it was a former terrace house that’s been changed into a tea room. The breakfast was delicious. Good value as well. Only fault was the plates need to be bigger. I had no where to put my toast other wise it was excellent. Staff seen friendly and nice. Sausages where banging.

small, cozy, friendly. Claire and her staff are welcoming and friendly. Excellent cakes and biscuits at good value, including a good choice gluten-free. Good cappuccino. Meet friends here on average once weekly. About 3 tables upstairs, just a couple more downstairs. Quiet location, a short walk along a footpath off the main King Street.

This is my second visit here, the first in the summer when the windows were open and it was sunny...

This is the sort of cafe we have to support, brilliant and helpful staff, gorgeous quiche, lovely coffee, cosy, I...

railway tearoom on the bowling alley....called in on the off chance.had two teas scone and butter scones were nice and...

Lovely little tea room with fabulous staff who give you a warm and friendly greeting as soon as you enter. Bacon sarnie washed down with a very good mug of tea is just what you want to start the day off with.

I wouldn't have found this tea room as it's off the main road but my hubby knew where it was. Called in for a snack and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was clean and pleasant. We had jacket potato with fillings and a pot of tea for two. The food was really hot and very tasty but the jacket potato skins were a little tough. I would definitely use this tea room again. Two jackets with fillings and a pot of tea for two £12.60

Encontramos este salón de té puramente por accidente de la High Street. El personal es muy amable y agradable y la comida limpio.

Llamamos en la sala de té al menos una vez al mes. Normalmente tenemos nuestro collie, Leo, con nosotros, así que nos sentamos en el pequeño jardín en la parte trasera. Nuestro perro es muy bienvenida, con agua trajo para él y un montón de los trazos. No me puedo quejar de la amabilidad del personal, son maravillosos.

Took my mum here for lunch today and we have both never been here before. We were made to feel very welcome from the minute we walked in. It is bright and comfortable inside and there is plenty of room, which is a bonus as my mum is disabled so access can be an issue sometimes. I had a bacon, brie and cranberry panini and it was beautiful. It came with a lovely fresh side salad and some crunchy crisps. Tasted great and very good value for money. We will definitely be visiting again.

A short stop for Tea / Coffee.Pleasant little Tea Room with Inside/ Outside seating, pleasant friendly staff, good service.Choice of drinks and cakes.Would recommend

A wonderful gem of a cafe lovely staff . A friendly family atmosphere . The coffee & food are good too :)

having eaten in there several times I can recommend the friendly service, locally sourced produce ( where applicable ) and good coffee, its tucked away but well worth looking for.

We came across this tearoom by accident and were so pleased we did.Staff were very pleasant, good choice of reasonably priced snacks and meals and it is obviously a very popular place amongst the locals as everyone seemed to know everyone else.Will certainly return next time we are in the area

A real home from home. Clare and her staff will make you feel really welcome and will accommodate you in any way they can. All the staff were absolutely brilliant with my two year old and my baby, really friendly and patient with them. The place was full and all the customers were interacting with each other, a lovely atmosphere. The food was lovely too, even for my fussy pair. Love the new upstairs too and looking forward to the courtyard in the summer. Will certainly be back, best place in Belper.

This was my 2nd visit to the railway tea room really enjoyed it the first time so thought we would give it another try and we enjoyed it just as much , it's only a small tea room but we managed to get a seat food was lovely and served very fast the staff are very friendly we will be back again soon .

Stopped here for lunch with a friend. There were 5 different types of homemade soup on the menu which was great for me. I had sweet potato and it comes with a fresh bread roll. Menu has jackets, sandwiches on etc. Good range of hot drinks and the lady running the tea rooms was very friendly and polite. We had a lovely lunch and some cake afterwards. I will definitely be returning.

Great breakfast....really reasonable......gets very busy......so that'd a good recommendation.Not much to add, but well worth a visit.

Lovely little cafe, very reasonable prices and great service. Fresh tea leaves, porcelain cups with the offer of extra fresh water and very good coffee. We didn't eat but it all looked lovely and we could see it being freshly prepared in the kitchen.

We found this quaint little tearooms down a side road off the main shopping road. The railway runs right beside it hence the name, but is lower down in a valley so there is no disturbance. It is an old railway side cottage in what would have been the front room, with half a dozen tables. It was very popular as we got the last table and more people came in after. We just had coffee but the had a cabinet full of home made cakes and also jars of preserves for sale. The staff were very friendly and it appears that it is frequented by many regulars. Overall a lovely place for coffee and resonable prices.

I have visited this cafe a few times, and I have always found it very friendly and welcoming.I feel the criticism of the sausage unwanted.and I look forward to my next visit with knife & fork poised.

Lovely little place. Worth the short stroll from high street. Friendly staff. Good menu options. Toilets are upstairs.

Warm friendly greeting as soon as you walk in with that all important smile, its a winner everytime. Pot of tea with a bacon/sausage cob, good filling and tasty at a reasonable price.

Railway Tearooms is a Must. Especially the Cheese on Toast with a portion off Beans. Served wonderful by the Debs. Also Clare has taken over the Cafe and changed it around and it's such a lovely Atmosphere Very Cheerful and Bubbly. Pleasure to Eat my Breakfast here. So would Definitely Recommend Havein ya Breakfast here.

my mum and i stopped in for a quick cuppa - mug of tea and coffee. both piping hotand served in mugs with saucers. there are books and newspapers to look at during your visit. we looked at the menu for future reference and it all looks reasonable - the table next to us had paninis and these looked and smelled lovely! we will be back here for lunch on our next visit to belper.the staff are friendly, it is situated by the train track located off king st, the main shopping area of belper, in a house that is part of a terrace. very quirky!

visited here sat lunchtime,called for a hot drink,it is down a side alley following the path of the railway hence the name.made welcome by the staff,its a small living room area but enough room for half a dozen tables,the latte coffees where very good the chocolate milk shake for my granddaughter very good.prices reasonable,didnt have any food but what we saw seemed very good value for money.

We had just been for a walk on the Chevington and fancied a cuppa. Good welcome, great chocolate cake like mums make and a cuppa served in nice China. Don't know which place the negative reviews were visiting. A nice setting and if good weather then there's a little suntrap at the back. Well worth a visit and especially if you don't like chain coffee places.

My pertner and I visited hoping for a proper breakfast and felt let down, We were unable to get a seat where we normally go. In comparison the bacon and particularly the sausage were second rate. I felt sorry for the pig that died to produce this meat. The service was not as punctual as we would have liked. we noted that the ownership had recently changed. We just expected better.

Discovered this purely by chance and am so glad we did! What an absolute gem - nice to see independent cafes are still surviving.It is not a huge place, but it is well used by locals and visitors alike. The coffee is good and the cakes are delicious - Mary Berry eat your heart out!The staff are always helpful and friendly and if you're in Belper, call in for some refreshments - well worth it!

Such a great place , lovely people , great food and great coffee , really nice atmosphere, a variety of teas and cakes to choose from in a great setting

We came across this delightful little tearoom while looking around Belper on holiday.The staff went out of their way to look after us and as we had our labrador with us, they took us to their outside space at the back of the shop and we had a very pleasant lunch in the piece and quiet. Our dog got a bowl of cool water, as it was a rather warm day, and we sat and enjoyed the sunshine! The food is very good and we would recommend a visit. We will be back!

This was a delightful find on a wet Saturday morning. A lot of care and attention has gone into the redecoration of the building, along with the super fast wifi. The Railway Tea Room caters for locals and visitors and pay the same attention to all, but clearly look out for and care for the regulars (and rightly so). We had tea and cakes - good selection of teas, well made cakes and good range and overall good value. Intended to stay for a short time but stayed a while - enjoying the banter. Next time I am in Belper I'll pass the Costas, Starbucks and all the other chains and will head for the Railway Tea Room. Support local, independent business.

this cute little tearoom is tucked away along Railway TerraceThere is always a lovely friendly atmosphere in side . and the garden area is very sweet, Its nice to be able to sit outside on a fine day The home made cakes are truly delicious, and I can highly recommend the toasted Brioche for breakfast.

Nice little tea room beautiful cup of coffee lovely cakes well worth a visit staff lovely and helpful very clean and tidy

Found this place by chance, while wandering around Belper, it has a lovely charm to it, good service , good food, and I would recommend to all

Situated up an alley way just off the high street. Welcoming and friendly staff. Not a large choice on the menu but the food is freshly prepared. Home made cakes. Daily papers to read whilst relaxing. Good service. Would consider returning.

Friendly staff, and nice and clean. It's not like a usual stop off place,as it's tucked away. Not a place you'd go for a quiet chat with friends, because it's too small, and the acoustic's aren't great. Nice coffee, and food ok. I would say that it's good value for money, but don't expect gourmet, or bistro...it's a friendly little cafe

We love this tearoom. The staff are so attentive ,friendly and a lovely relaxed atmosphere, they don't rush you out the door. The food is freshly prepared well cooked home food. The cakes & quiche are homemade delicious. It's not pretentious it's just good wholesome food. Thanks a lot girls!

I work at the tearooms and would just like to clear up a few comments about mushrooms being tinned!! I can assure you that they are not tinned but are cooked in butter which is where the confusion come from. Please do not let this put you off there are plenty of other things on the menu to tempt you including home made quiches.

Having walked past this cafe many times we decided to call in for a late breakfast@ 11am , it appeared to be a small independent cafe, We ordered mushrooms on toast and mushrooms and tomatoes on toast , the staff were attentive and lovely, however the food was tinned tomatoes and mushrooms, we were disappointed. I wish we had tried one of the other many cafe's in the town .

Many varieties of tea to sample. Clean friendly place right next to the railway line. Good choice of food, good prompt service. Proper English tearoom.

Very friendly. Very welcoming. Home made cake, yum yum. Will defiantly call again when I'm in the area

Lovely tea room. Excellent coffee and cakes. They do an excellent breakfast only down side is the toilet it's upstairs but put that to one side,everything else is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐There is parking close by which is a pay and display

Myself and my wife visited when the bistro around the corner was shut, we went for the full English breakfast, it was ok but more like you would expect from a roadside cafe. On the plus side the coffee was lovely.

This café is very small, tucked out of the way, but very friendly and good value. We intended going to another café for lunch, so just popped in here on the off chance. Menu is limited but what is served is good.No trainspotting unfortunately: the railway is way down below and out of view.

Home made cake and a real proper cup of tea, sat watching the world pass the window in the pouring rain in a British summer August day. All was right in the world with a real piece of cake and a great cup of tea. Happy days.

Went in for a coffee with a friend, ended up having poached eggs on toast and sat in the cottage garden out back. What a lovely homely feeling sat privately in the garden. Poached eggs were done to perfection will definatley be going back.

Had a small breakfast ,cost £3.50. Waste of money.Mushrooms were tinned,sausage was awful,more like dog food.Tomato was a quarter of a tomato and bacon was minuscule.No one cared or even asked was it OK.

A lovely tearoom tucked away by the railway alley, tea served in china cups, plenty of homemade cakes, great decor. highly recommended.

China cups and a relaxed atmosphere. Great friendly staff. Lovely choice of home made goodies. I highly recommend this tea room if you like good home made pastries and cakes!! Enjoy!

if you are around belper at any time do as i did drop in for a cup of tea although i decided to have a mug of tea which was pleasantly bought over to my table by one of the two ladies there i also decided to have a bacon butty which was quiet filling the atmosphere was very relaxing as they supplied the dailys for you to read,they do a host of other eats from bacon butties egg and bacon butties jacket potatoes and a whole lot more so if you want to relax from the main street mayhem do same as i did visit the railway tearooms on midland terrace [used to be called bowling alley]but thats another story for when you are in the tearooms must try a piece of cake next time

What a little gem the Railway Tea Room is. We call here regularly when taking dad to the barbers next door. Its a small tea room but the food is excellent quality and very good value for money. The breakfast is excellent. Everything is made fresh to order and served promptly by friendly, efficient staff. The place is very clean and tidy and has a friendly atmosphere. Certainly worth a visit.

Small Tea Room in a former "railway" terraced house serving a range of food from breakfast, sandwiches, salads and home made cakes/scones etc. Service is quick and efficient, tea room clean, tidy and well decorated.

Met mum in town and we decided to go for lunch here now she's been before. but was my first visit and it was really lovely old fashioned a little and clean and tidy even though its a small room I think they have a garden but we didn't see one. We really enjoyed our lunch and will come back next time really enjoyed it.

called. to try this place friendly welcome had a full english breakfast which was very good and a cup of real coffee all at a bargain price best butter and crispy toast lovely best in belper will call again when next in the area visited 11.45 am friday 25th april

A small 2-room café on a terrace of houses on a quiet alley between the Co-op and the main King Street. Coffee and flapjack was perfectly satisfactory and the service quick.

Discovered this tea room by chance on a visit to Belper, very quaint ,it is like a tea room in a terraced house off the railway terrace, nice prices and food and friendly attentive staff. The toilet upstairs is very different but this is what makes it good to visit.

Always visit this lovely little cafe with the most friendly staff in Derbyshire. It is a gem. Best coffee available.

I love this little place, excellent for a quick cup of good coffee and a cake...even better for a breakfast. Cooked fresh, smallish but plenty for me. The ladies who run this are friendly and provide excellent service. The decor is kitsch but kinda cute and it's very clean. One thing I notice is that the atmosphere in here invites people to talk to each other and I have had some top chats with some very charismatic and witty elderly regular patrons.Give it a try!

Great little gem, breakfast, cakes and snacks all good quality, the staff are always friendly and helpful, it is a small cafe but well worth a visit

Cracking breakfast, not cheap but top banter with the birds behind the counter. The bathroom is quite weird :/
