The Coolstone in Derbyshire Dales

Superb Al fresco breakfast in a lovely courtyard right in the heart of this ancient historic village. Quality of ingredients was superb, the tea was delicious and the environment was delightful. I would heartily recommend

Visited yesterday (Sunday 4/6) morning with my wife for breakfast. She had a coffee and bacon sandwich and I had a tea and full English. The guy serving us (Scottish man) was very accommodating to both our requests to amend the items on the menu slightly; she wanted brown bread, for instance. He was also very friendly and a nice guy. The food was great and reasonably priced. Enjoyed eating out on the terrace in the sun. Will definitely revisit.

Popped in for lunch today hubby fancied a pizza but couldn’t decided which one so Nicky manageress suggested Alfredo which he said was loverly & would definitely have again when the menu came noticed king prawn linguini with lemon chilli & garlic im not a lover of chilli so the chief did one without it. Nice atmosphere staff loverly carnt recommend enough.

Visited here after a long hike across Eyam Moor for my 40th birthday. We had an evening meal for my birthday tea and as a coeliac this place was spot on, offering gluten free pizza bases, loaded nachos and OMG fries. Very friendly staff from the two gentlemen that served at the bar, fantastic cocktails, and the young man who served us food. Highly recommended.

Dropped in for a breakfast. Lovely. Sat outside in the sunshine eating a full english with locally sourced produce, well cooked and presented. Staff welcoming a friendly. Perfect after a long drive up from Kent this morning

Excellent coffee, one of the best ive had in a while. Strength and taste perfect. Would recommend anyone to call in here who finds themselves in the area

Booked this quite a few weeks ago and was phoned this week and asked to move time as large party coming in. We were shoved by the stairs with people coming and going. We were not wanted so walked out

Well what a BRILL meal really unusual food like Parma ham with pickled watermelon but don’t knock till you try The lamb was cooked to perfection Nicky the manageress was very informative on both menu & wine list. The only criticism I have is the on line menu needs updating. Will we go again carnt wait 🤗🤗🤗

Always enjoyed the pizzas at the Coolstone. Had a restaurant meal over the weekend to celebrate a special birthday. Excellent choice and quality of 'chef made' food. Great service and lovely surroundings in upstairs room. Will definitely return for a special occasion.

Visited on Saturday evening with friends. A very warm greeting from Nikki. The food was amazing, each course superbly cooked.

Fantastic food wow Great venue reasonably priced in a village full of history Hats off to the chefs tasty flavoursome food with the best local ingredients Impressed

Enjoyed a wonderful meal, received exceptional service and appreciated the wonderful ambience (and playlist) - will definitely return

The Coolstone The Coolstone is located in Eyam Derbyshire. When walking in you’re greeted with the warmest welcome from Nikki. She began to give a little insight about the restaurant in which we could sit anywhere we desired. As we were intrigued by the spiral staircase we decided to go upstairs, it was an extravagant room that oozed class. When choosing my gin I chose the Ring O Roses, gin which was a gin that is inspired by the dark history of the plague. The decor was just perfect in every way possible, it had stone walls which really made the whole restaurant come to life. This old building has been truly modernised. The Coolstone interior was mesmerising with, flowers interlocked around the ceiling, the traditional oak woodwork and the furniture seemed to suit this restaurant perfectly, it felt so homely. For starter I ordered the platter of smoked salmon, shaved fennel mayonnaise, capers, crispy shallot rings (£8.95) and Jen ordered the smoked haddock and chive risotto, Parmesan crisp, saffron oil (£8.50). I tried both starters and can confirm they were delicious and just the right portion size. For my main course I opted for 8oz Sirloin Steak (£24.95) and Jen went for the grilled fillet of salmon (£18.95). The sirloin steak was beautiful and was presented perfectly. The steak was so tender, the knife cut straight through. For dessert we both selected the sticky toffee pudding (£7.50) it was so tasty and more ish, a lovely finish to our meal. For my next drink I ordered the Spirit of Eyam Gin, Black as Death. This gin was a memorable one, out of the two gins I had tried the black as death had the edge, there was something about it a really nice gin and I especially loved the colour. Everything about this place fascinated me and it made me want to visit again. When in Eyam, visit The Coolstone. . . @thegintraveller__ on instagram for more photos.

Visiting Eyam in a blizzard probably isn’t the best way to see this fascinating village. However, The Coolstone was a welcome retreat for lunch. A good comprehensive menu and a vast selection of gins, some made locally. The bangers & mash is a good option, with great quality local sausages and panini’s (more like a muffin) were very good too. Quirky interior with great posters & LPs and a wonderful, huge print containing medieval remedies. The Black Death gin, although capitalising on a dark period of Eyam’s history (and why not?) is speckled with gold and very flavourful.

Came for lunch, had 2 toasties, pizza and fries. Really good food, excellent service even though it was really busy.

Walking around Eyam on a cold, wet November day we were desperate for a warm and a sit-down. We followed a local resident to the Coolstone and we were glad that we did. A friendly greeting, a glass of wine and a large bowl of...

Super Sunday roast after a walk around the moor and village of Eyam. Great service and great food, tucked away in a cosy courtyard lit up for the autumn winter months great way to end Sunday

Decided to treat the Family with a sunday roast today, and to see the negative reviews prior to the meal i just can’t see where there coming from !! As somebody who really doesn’t like to run my bank into the ground, i was abit...

Misleading, purposely deceiving. Positives first, the service is friendly. The place is nice and welcoming. That's all. Negatives, is a tourist trap. Food is average and definitely not worth the cost. Their specials was offering a free starter and/or dessert with any roast meal. On...

In the interest of honesty, I have eaten here previously and did not enjoy the experience. I'm pleased to say that the place has come a fair way since then! My partner and I dined here recently (we sat upstairs in the barn conversion) and...

Orders burgers, £16 each and were dreadful. Just a tasteless breaded chicken breast, 1 tomato and 1 slice of lettuce on a bun. No sauce, anaemic chips and no coleslaw (as advertised). Tourist trap of Eyam - avoid like the plague…

We were really looking forward to coming here again after a great meal in the summer. Unfortunately we picked the wrong night to come. The wait time for food was completely unacceptable - a wait of two and a half hours for pizzas and burgers...

Absolutely brill food. Starters deep fried Brie & Asian beef which was enough for two. Beef & wild mushroom Wellington (no soggy bottoms here) served with peas kale sugar snap peas & peas & green beans. Bacon chops served with home done potato cake &...

Way above average table service from the highly personable Manager and her staff. We had two pizzas, one off menu, which were cooked to perfection. We had a truly exquisite pudding of caramelised plums. We left feeling fuzzy & full! If we didn’t live so...

We were nearly put off by some of the negative reviews. But so glad we went. The upstairs restaurant area is really nice with brick walls and exposed beams. The service couldn't have been better and the food was by far the best we've had...

I visited this place July 2022, what can I say this place was one of THE BEST around. Food amazing the staff was so accommodating, they made me feel warm. And as I have come to write this review, I have noticed some bad reviews...

What a fantastic place to eat. My husbands birthday and George was a brilliant host. The food was amazing. We had a three course tasty menu and the lamb chops cooked to perfection. Brilliant atmosphere inside and out. Definitely worth the visit and ignore the...

Went on a Sunday, family group of 7 hoping for a nice Sunday dinner as there were some good reviews online for the place. However those reviews must be old, the place was dead and menu pretty much limited to pizza and chips. Pizzas were...

We had booked a table here in person the day before. However on arrival for our dinner we were challenged by a surly and rude man saying that they were full. When he checked the diary he did find our booking and said we could...

Visited yesterday and we were very surprised! The place was a bit of a tardis! We had 2 pizza, salad and fries. All freshly cooked and tasty. Had a cocktail too which was tasty. The barman told me about George who owns the place and...

Booked and paid for pizzas using on line ordering... 1 hour later we had walked to pick up our order..... Not processed so not ready. Decided to have a rubard gin and rubarb tonic... No tonic.Ordered a Mojito... Hmmm... Interesting.. Dash of rum, piece of lime, couple if ice cubes, 1 leaf of mint... Topped up with lemonade.... THIS IS NOT A MOJITO.Anyway sat and watched the totally untrained staff attemping time and time again take the wrong orders to the wrong tables.... Funny but really not at all as fhe staff looked totally bemused by the whole process..... Our pizzas went to 4 tables, back into the kitchen... To a gent that was sat on a bench... Into the bar... and eventually I called the young waiter over and he confirmed they were ours. Pizzas were very nice though.Sorry but the establishment looked like a really poorly run shopping centre food mall..I know that covid has taken its toll but this place is an absolute joke... Looking at the faces of the other customers I can only assume they were thinking the same as us!Spent £37 didn't enjoy a second... Took pizzas home.

The Coolstone is an oasis in the Peak District for dinner, drinks and shopping. Very tastefully designed and decorated, it caters for both indoor and outside dining and drinks. The staff are very helpful and take all the expected care and attention for Covid hygiene. We enjoyed drinks in the courtyard and a meal in the restaurant. The food is excellent and is a destination location for a high quality meal in the area. The Coolstone is surrounded by Eyam history, so you can visit at any time during your history exploration. Highly recommended!

We decided to visit The Coolstone for lunch to spend sometime together checking out our future wedding reception venue.The menu was not typical of a Sunday Lunch offering but there was a Roast Pork dinner and Roast Pork & stuffing sandwich on the specials. We chose to have these and were not disappointed. Good size portions, great value for money, well cooked.Great choices of gins. I was able to try the Spirit of Eyam - Black Death gin which is very limited in availability.A relaxed lunch and we know can't wait for our upcoming wedding at the venue.

I purchased a Mrs Fish sandwich as part of a lunchtime snack from The Nook, part of the Coolstone development. I am reluctant to post negative views, however this does warrant one. Unfortunately the sandwich was in fact a bap, so stale it was practically inedible. I specifically requested white bread but the bap was granary, adding to it’s tough and stale texture. The filling of smoked salmon was sparse and very dry, because the lemon dressing was non-existent, and the bap was packed out with rocket. Quite simply awful. The only reason I did not return the item was because it was absolutely hammering down with rain and I simply couldn’t face getting drenched again. The bap, a cup of tea and a small bakewell cost over £12 and frankly I wished I’d waited and found a decent pub offering a hot meal for the same price.

We called in here early evening and was very pleased.We ordered a couple of pizzas, cheese garlic bread to share between three of us and there was plenty to eat.Good local ales also along with a great location in a lovely courtyard.Would definitely visit again.

Enjoyed a nice garlic bread chips and beer after a long walk clean tidy alcohol gel on site and 2 meter distance on site

The Coolstone at Eyam Hall is a courtyard with outdoor seating, some of which is undercover. It has its own bar, an excellent pizza oven and another small food outlet. Being all enclosed and with several small businesses on offer inside the same courtyard makes it a really nice destination.

We visited Eyam as lockdown restrictions were lifting and were hopeful that we could find somewhere for a pint in the village that was walkable - the courtyard offering at the Coolstone was a haven and we visited most days we were there. A good range of drinks and meals on offer (either from the restaurant, deli, ice cream or made to order pizza choices), well set up for ordering etc. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Sunshine in courtyard most of the day as well! A really lovely spot and very welcoming indeed.

These comments relate specifically to 'The Nook', which is what I believe the little coffee shop that is associated with (and attached to) 'The Coolstone' bar and restaurant in Eyam is called. We chanced upon this on a recent visit to the 'Plague Village' of Eyam on Easter Sunday. As we wandered through Eyam Hall Courtyard, a small crowd had gathered - cyclists, ramblers, and visitors to the village - all enjoying coffee and what seemed to be a delectable range of savoury and sweet treats from this cafe. It enticed us in. The freshly brewed barista-style coffee was outstanding, but it was the mind-boggling array of sweet treats which left us gobsmacked... cakes, pastries, biscuits, slices and so on. We bought a couple of things, but it was the slice of White Rocky Road Chocolate that left us wanting more. It was the best Rocky Road Chocolate we've ever eaten. The best. And it was that little treat that will definitely entice us back to experience the wider delights that the 'Coolstone' has to offer, once COVID restrictions have lifted.

Lots of changes, very Covid friendly. Super pizza and glass of wine. Gift shop, jewellery shop, coffee shop. Definitely pay a visit.

Amazing Pizza from Bocconcini Street Food, very enjoyable hand crafted pizza with lovely fresh toppings

Lovely surroundings, wonderful service and fantastic food beautifully served. We had a lamb dish which was amazing. Couldn't resist a dessert. We will definitely visit again when we are next in the area.

Well worth the money. Even the house red was exquisite. The starters, main and pudding were all excellent (and the cocktail my girlfriend had). Would definitely go there again

What a great addition to the village, a lovely location with a small shop and beer and homeware shop soon to be complementing the place, attractive surroundings, friendly staff and excellent value.

Had lunch here today. Haddock coujons delicious. Home made Tartare Sauce amazing. The staff were all very friendly. We are an hour away but we will be back.

Friday night, Debs, Don and Alys are out. Booked in, welcoming staff, covid safe and comfortable.Our food was astonishingly good...the sea bass, the lamb and the steak cooked to perfection. And mouth watering. The deserts, sticky toffee pud and ice creams...well...pretty divine. The wine good and we slipped into lots of laughter. Chef, and the waiting staff, thanks for making our evening. You were as amazing as our food.

Booked table for 2 and once seated moved twice .. Ordered Sea Bass with Samphire and potatoes ... arrived no potatoes, mash instead,no Samphire and one thin fillet of Bass, was expecting a whole fish ?Had a bottle of local beer with sediment in and had bad stomach all night.Waitress's very pleasant but would try elsewhere in future.

I have been to this place a few times now with my partner and friends and have found it to be a hidden gem. The atmosphere has always been great and the manager has always had time to chat with us. The pork belly starter was mouth watering and the flat iron steak was much larger than I had expected. I will be visiting the Coolstone again for meals and even just to pop in for a drink in the courtyard.

* It was Sunday 9th August and we had phoned earlier in the week to book a table for early Sunday evening ........ my birthday treat having arrived to stay at a nearby bnb. It was not busy and we were the only people to be seated inside to the left near the kitchen.* The greeting was friendly and we ordered drinks at the bar first. I joked that it was my birthday and a cherry in my drink would be nice!* We chose or table, the drinks arrived ..... minus a cherry ...... menus were given.* We ordered one chicken supreme and one fish and chips.* The waitress returned to say that the evening menu wasn't available as they'd been very busy on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday with the 'Eat out to Help out' and had run out of some things ........ bear in mind this was Sunday evening now and we weren't warned about this on arrival.* We chose a minced lamb flatbread instead of the chicken ..... poor substitute.* As we waited, another couple were seated, given menus and told which dishes were available plus,"...... or there is the roast dinner."* What! We pointed out that that option hadn't been offered to us.* As we ate, another couple were seated and it was embarrassing to see the number of times the waitress had to return to tell them that yet another of their choices was not available.* The kitchen lights went out.* When my husband went to settle the bill, he was asked if everything had been all right so my husband told him about our experience for my birthday treat.The man (with the beard if I remember) apologised and said they'd been really busy.Well, that's good to hear BUT it's not good if you have booked a few days ahead and are looking forward to an evening out and are not made aware of the situation before you even sit down ...... when it's too late to leave.It wasn't beyond the realms of making amends for him to offer our two drinks free by way of making up for their lack of good service but, nothing but an apology.Hopefully, by now, this place has returned to normal as the scheme has finished but, having read others' reviews of disappointment, one would hope that, 'How to make up for when we disappoint people' will be addressed.From a disappointed Birthday Girl. :(

A wonderful surprise!We stayed in Eyam while exploring the Lake District and stumbled across The Coolstone. We stopped in for a drink and were surprised to be served some of the best Old Fashioned’s we’ve had (and we have tried a few!) A couple of drinks turned into a delightful dinner of pork belly, which perfectly cooked and well flavoured, and steak with truffle butter- also perfectly cooked and a taste to die for! The staff were very friendly and helpful. All precautions were taken given the current climate, and the atmosphere was still great. Also pricing was really reasonable. Great experience overall- thank you!

We had a very good lunch with burger for me (the meat was excellent!) and pie for my husband in a very nice setting. We also really enjoyed the local beer. We will definitely be back.

We visited Eyam for the first time on 24th August and called in for a,quick lunch.The place was spotlessly clean service v good and I had a lovely hummus sandwich and my partner had a large fish and chips. Such a great find we will be back.

Excellent food, friendly helpful service and beautiful atmosphere. A lovely celebration dinner and will definitely return.

We enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal here, our first visit, but we hope to return. The food was good and the setting felt comfortable and safe. Staff were helpful and friendly. An interesting range of drinks, including beer and cider which we tried, and others. There were options for vegetarians as well as meat and fish, I'd have liked to see more healthy (but delicious) choices available.

Had the best Sunday roast beef dinner ive ever had gorgeous caramalised vegetables melt in the mouth roast beef and gravy to die for!Reasonably priced.

Group meal in the evening. Staff were friendly and efficient. We had a range of starters and mains, all of which were very tasty, although the portion size between different meals was noticeable, especially between the mushroom and rib starters.Decent wine list but the white wine wasn’t chilled enough at serving although the cooler chilled it during the meal.We ate upstairs which has a rustic charm but the spiral staircase may not be suitable for all.

We sat inside and enjoyed a lovely lunch. I had a Moroccan flatbread and my partner had gammon and chips. Both were delicious and well worth the £12 approx each. Nice to drink out of chunky crystal glasses too. The place is in a courtyard next to Eyam Hall. Very clean and relaxing, staff were polite and friendly.

Great food in the restaurant, we stayed on Eyam for a week. Service was good and really enjoyed the meals. We came back a few days later but were turned away due to it being fully booked but thats a sign of a good restaurant

We drinks and cocktails here in the afternoon, and had dinner here with family a few days later. The food is very good but portion were quite small. The quality of the food is very very good, and I recommend this establishment. Also, we had cake, coffee and ice creams the following day, and they were lovely and nice. Very good quality and friendly service.

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening the food was delicious and the staff were very pleasant I would definitely recommend eating at the coolstones it was such a lovely atmosphere and beautiful views of the courtyard .I will definitely be back and will be bringing friends along with me .

So, we visited this Bistro twice on our weeks holiday in Eyam. The previous reviews state that the restaurant ran out of provisions to provide a full menu. This was true on our first visit, and we were disappointed, as we'd booked the restaurant on their reviews and menu.However, we decided to go back, and were so glad we did. The service, price and food was excellent!The Bistro went through a minor blip, and had not expected the amount of visitors at that said weekend.My husband said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. "Baslow steak"The crab starters was amazing.The desserts were heavenly.Beautiful clean restaurant with amazing cocktails.Don't be put off, by the few reviews, the chef knows how to cook a superb meal.Staff are lovely too.

We stopped off for a light lunch on one of the hottest days of the year. We were quite frankly ignored and had to ask twice for menus. Our table was not cleared until we asked for it to be done and even then some rubbish and a glass was still left - no sign of a cloth either to wipe it over!It took half an hour before we got any drinks by which time we decided that we couldn’t risk waiting another half an hour for food. Such a shame as the setting is lovely but there was a definite lack of organisation.

Gave them a 2nd chance, big mistake!Planned it last night a 5 mile walk round Eyam today and then to finish off at The Coolstone in the courtyard of Eyam Hall for a sit down lunch.Have previously had a bad experience at The Coolstone (See my review from Oct 2019) when I said it would close down and it did 3 months later!Anyway looks like it was taken over AGAIN in Feb 2020 so thought I would not hold a grudge.We finished our walk but it was only 11:15, so went over to The Coolstone just to take a look as I knew they did not open until 12.00, it was a hive of activity with deliveries & the clattering of pots being washed etc, the signs were all in position on the kirb side saying open 12:00 till late, the sign was outside the door saying wait here to be seated, all the tables were set out in the courtyard, I did wait at the sign to be seated just incase I could reserve a table for 12:00 but didn’t get anyone’s attention so walked back into Eyam and relaxed on a bench for 40 minutes.At 11:55 we took a stroll back to the Coolstone, I was surprised now to see many of the tables occupied by people eating sandwiches from the Deli (all part of the same group as the Coolstone I believe)Anyway I waited patiently at the sign that said wait here to be seated.I was greeted by what looked like the Chef who was quite surprised I was stood there at his sign.He said “can I help you?”I replied, “yes, have you a table for two”He replied “Sorry we are not opening until 5pm today as we have ran out of stock due to the busy day yesterday”I’m now furious, I’ve waited 45 minutes for the Coolstone to open, if this was the case then why not write this on one of the many chalk boards you have took the time to position round the courtyard & roadside this morning, they offered me the Delli as an alternative, I didn’t want a sandwich, I could have very nice one of these from The Village Green Cafe 45 minutes ago!I understand during these unprecedented times (Main 2 holiday weeks, hottest forecasted weeks post lock down, dine out to help out) that it’s going to be busy.When you hit November and Eyam is like a ghost time you’ll be wishing that you’d grabbed every opportunity with both hands and decided not to close for 5 hours during the main two summer holiday weeks.This place has had more owners in the last 5 years, I just can’t work out why!Good look.PS If you had publicised your unfortunate stock level problems on either your website, face book page, or old face book page that is still up & running or even on the chalk board this review would not have been necessary.

Just that. Having booked for dinner, this was unacceptable. Snack food only. Burger and teriyaki ribs. Both close to inedible, certainly unpleasant.

What a lovely bar, we had come to visit the brewery, but being closed I was able to sample a bottle of Quarantine. We sat in the lovely courtyard, nice experience in these difficult times.

We stopped for a look around historic Eyam after a lovely visit to chatsworth house. We stumbled across The Coolstone and what a lovely place it is. The weather was amazing so we sat in the court yard which is beautiful. Excellent social distance measures in place, fabulous ales and it was lovely to see the herb garden being used by the staff to pick fresh herbs for the chef. I had fish and chips and my husband had the ribs. Both meals were delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We didn’t have much time to look round the village properly so we’ll definitely return when lockdown measures are lifted and most definitely visit the coolstone again.

We've been here couple times and we can't wait to come back! All staff is so nice and friendly, also very helpful if you cannot decide what to have. Food was breath-taking - I'm not exaggerating. We've tried starters, steak (the best steak we've ever eaten), pork belly, house wine and some cocktails too. George came to our table and explain what to expect from food, what was the process etc which makes us feel very welcomed and knowledgeable about what we are about to eat!Highly recommended!!!

Fabulous meal. Wonderful flavours. Great service. Tasty smoked salmon starter. Superb belly pork main recommended by waitress and she was so right. Piquant pineapple to follow with pina colada sauce. Can’t wait for more.

Staff are very polite and welcoming. They seem to be adapting very well to changes brought forward by Covid with distancing while still keeping it a pleasant place to be.Coolstone is located in a lovely courtyard and is a very pleasant place to be on a dry day (large umberellas are provided on tables).The pulled beef Hoogie made a fantastic lunch and contained plenty of meat.Beer choices are Peroni or a selected draft from the local Eyam Brewing company among a few others.Very good value for our lunch. 2 Hoogies, 1 chips, pint of local beer and a pot of tea was £19.90.

Had the pleasure of having something to eat in here. Could not have wished for the pleasant surprise of the quality and presentation. Do not get me started on the cocktails my wife would still be there if she could. Will definitely be visiting the coolstone again.

We live in Eyam and are pleased to recommend The Coolstone take-away meals. The Teryaki Beef and Thai Green Chicken Curry are brilliant. Good luck George and Team. Continue the good work. We'll be ordering more from you!

Really good choice of menu, something for everyone in a family of 6. Main courses really reasonably priced. Ordered through the website and did click and collect. Food was delicious and a really high standard. We will be back.

Recently taken over by George, the Coolstone had a much livelier and vibrant feel about it than when I last visited.I only popped in for coffee and cake, but the prices were reasonable and tasty.Hopefully, George and his team will be in Eyam for a while!

First visit to Coolstone cafe/ restaurant within the courtyard of Eyam Hall . New owner operator and now open for about 2 weeks. Relaxed ambience and very smart comfortable decor. Food was very tasty including vegetarian chefs breakfast , homemade soup and excellent burger. Finished with great coffee and homemade rice crispy cake. A great place to spend with family and friends on a breezy February afternoon. We will be back.

We called in for a coffee when visiting the crafts centre. My husband enjoyed some home made brownie. The atmosphere was great. Lovely coffee delicious brownie and very friendly staff.

Pleasant cafe in Eyam. We had all day breakfast at £9 with unlimited coffee, tasty and not that badly priced for a major tourist spot. Staff were friendly and the menu had lots of choice.

Stopped here whilst visiting other shops in the courtyard at Eyam Hall. A warm friendly welcome with great coffee and lovely cake and cheese scone. Bought a sausage roll to take away and it was the best I’ve tasted in years! Will definitely be back.

Came in for food after a walk not knowing the area well and if there would be anywhere else. Really should have walked on further. Very limited menu which for what is served is quite overpriced. Basic toasties with fillings in the small side for £5. For that price I was expecting a hell of a lot more. Needs to up it's game as other places in the village as well. It's very unlikely I will be returning to see if it does improve but given other reviews from early on the year I don't believe it will.

We called in today for a quick lunch and as it was a little cool chose The Coolstone as there is an indoor dog friendly eating area (lower level).The signs for the dog friendly area seem to have been removed but I asked at the counter and it was still the lower level.It's a bit of a pain as there are no menus so you have to keep swapping over to look after the dogs while one at a time going to the counter to read the boards.Choice was limited but sufficient for the snack lunch we required, we both went for Cheese & onion toasty but upon ordering this was sold out, its bread, cheese & onion...! how can you be sold out?Looks to me like all the toasties are pre packed along with all the sandwiches.Anyway my wife came back and we made another choice, soup, upon trying to order this we were informed there would be a 1hr wait on soup as it's not ready, this was 12:45 on a Sunday, I'm not sure when they were expecting the lunch time rush?We have been here once before and it was not much better then, the room is cold, the menu is limited and basic, we proceeded back to The Village green cafe in the square which never disappoints.Come on Coolstone you have a very good establishment with no substance, the two cafe's in the centre were both fit to bursting with many (including us) sat outside in the rain, they are serving a lot more then basic cheese toasties and had not run out.The fires should have been roaring, you should have a small menu of freshly made lunch time meals, you should go to the Village Green Cafe and see what they offer or the extensive menu at Eyam Tea Rooms that bursts at the seems with Cyclists.I've seen the Coolstone have at least three take overs in the last few years and I think another is on the horizon, during these winter months you only have 2 days a week to make some money, to have nothing on offer on Sunday lunch is suicidal.Pleeese pleeeese pleeeese pull your finger out.

I wouldn’t return again. The building was cold, the food was expensive and not particularly nice. The staff were unorganised and didn’t really know what they were doing. Food is left uncovered on the sides (quiche, sausage rolls, bakewell pudding) all which had flies around them. I wouldn’t visit again. There are better cafés down the road.

We had our midweek wedding reception here last week. Cannot praise them highly enough. Cary and Holly were so helpful and accomodated all our requests.nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing, everything homemade and tailor made, without exception all our guests complimented on the quality and variety of the food. We had a buffet which worked so well with the number of guests.

As satisfied customers of its predecessor 'The Buttery' in Eyam, we have now tried 'The Coolstone'.

Called in to Eyam hoping to visit the Hall but it was not open to the public on that day.

We called here for a look around the little shops in the courtyard which are worth a look and took advantage of the Ice Cream on offer at Coolstone, as the weather was hot and sunny. It was close to closing time but the staff were still happy to serve us with a smile and efficient service not always the case at some establishments. Pretty good selection of flavours on offer and a reasonable price.

This is in the heart of the Peak District Derbyshire - it's not central London. So when i see a plain scone for sale at £3.50 I baulk and leave ..... even if it has the audacity to describe itself as a 'butter' scone.

Tea, cakes and savouries were very average. We didn't feel particularly welcome and the restaurant was a bit like a youth hostel communal kitchen. OK if you're gasping but take lots of cash.However very clean and they let dogs in.

Called in for much needed coffee. Had ice cream and a custard tar, which were good, the coffee was excellent!

Stopped for a quick coffee, it was pretty average, nothing to rave about. Not much atmosphere, however clean and dog friendly.

A small mug of coffee and two swallows of tea from a pot reputedly a pot-for-two for eight quid. No menus or prices on display, wont happen again

Our second visit but the new owners took over last September. It’s a modern design with smart practical furniture with stone floors making it walker friendly.

Ordered croque monsieur which was very good indeed. My companions moaned about the coffee, but I don't drink that muck, so can't comment...

Called in for lunch with our children. What an amazing little spot. The service was fantastic & the food absolutely gorgeous. A range of fresh sandwiches, toasties, pastries, salads, cakes & snacks.

A lovely little cafe, plenty of outdoor seating of the weather is nice (and good if you have dogs with you).

i came with my husband to be our friends and father in law, the food was exceptional!! will 100% be back !! service was also good! big thumbs up!

Called in Coolstone whilst visiting Eyam. I had eaten here once before, many years ago.

Lovely bright, clean cafe. There is an indoor seating area especially for dogs and their walkers. We sat in the main restaurant and had sandwiches and a chip butty (AMAZING! Best ever) and the cakes were outstanding too.

Called in at this cafe whilst out walking the dogs. All the cafes are dog friendly but this one has the best location and coffee. We sat in the courtyard as lovely weather but could have sat indoors with the dogs as there is a section you can taken them in. We only had lattes but they were lovely. The young lad who made them was very friendly and chatty. Would recommend to all. The food coming out looked lovely and was tempted to buy the great looking cakes, sausage rolls and doughnuts but was good on this occasion.

Quick tea stop, lovely little place hidden away just a tad. Very reasonable prices, very friendly staff, well worth a pit stop.

The range of food is incredible and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming and while we ordered the chef was present and it was clear that he was passionate about the menu. The food was amazing and the coffee was also very good. We sat outside in the courtyard which was a lovely environment to enjoy our lunch. We will definitely be visiting again!

Always pop in here for coffee when in Eyam, lovely historic building and the staff are excellent, welcoming and friendly.
