The Eating House in Derbyshire Dales

We managed to find an indoor table for 2, by the counter, after an invigorating walk at Cuber Gap. It was quite full for lunch and some had even gone outside in the marquee. The homemade soup was good and the rustic baguettes were filling and tasty. Good service, thanks

I call in here from time to time, usually when I’m passing through Calver rather than as a destination in itself, and have found the food and drinks to be consistently excellent. From sandwiches, salads and soups to cakes and desserts, there is a great selection and everything is delicious and so fresh. Coffee is wonderful too and always piping hot, as requested. I do agree with some of the other reviews that service can be slow but, equally, the food is freshly prepared and that takes time. On the last occasion I was here with a friend, we were served by a young male waiter and he was excellent, despite the place being very busy. The cafe is quite small, and there is limited indoor seating, but there are some gazebos outside which are nice in warm weather (less appealing when it’s cold and damp, though!) There’s a reasonable amount of free parking, clean loos (accessed by a few stairs so maybe not suitable for anybody with mobility difficulties) and a very well stocked, reasonably priced gift / craft shop attached to the cafe. All in all, The Eating House is well worth a visit and I’ll definitely be back.

Very average coffee and scones. Top prices for a lukewarm weak coffee and a small flat scone. Not as good as it used to be

Fabulous gluten free options. The gf cake is in a separate cabinet to avoid cross contamination! Would recommend for coeliacs.

We went for afternoon tea. as there were five of us we pre ordered but couldn’t reserve a table. We arrived and there was one small table outside which we squeezed on to. We booked it for 2.00pm arrived at 2.40pm. Service was terrible and afternoon tea but the best. Shame as been before but feel since pandemic gone down hill!!!

Had the best Tuna melt baguette and my friend had an excellent BLT. Service was quick and friendly. A really nice lunch. Will be back soon. Thoroughly recommend.

Not only was the dish was extremely overpriced at £11 for the portion size but the quality was extremely poor!The menu details were clearly composed by a fiction writer.What was described as a dish in a rich tomato sauce with vegetables and sundried tomatoes actually contained 2 very thin slices of onions and tomatoes that would never pass for sundried in terms of texture and taste.They were soggy and tasteless.Suffice it to say there was no richness to the watery sauce.The staff seemed totally embarassed and unwilling to address my comments and complaint. If you are looking for any quality in the food or sevice this is not the place

Every time we visit the Chatsworth Caravan club site we make a point of walking to this delightful cafe. The food is amazing, staff are very friendly and helpful

It was ok, Until a friend found a big hair in sandwich. Wouldn't go again, put us off Nice shop though.

Arrived after walking from Frogget Bridge. Had a few swims on the way. Lydia looked after me. Gave me my treats and asked what my keepers would like. They enjoyed their scones and coffee and as usual said all the nice things about how good it is on a Sunday morning. Beth brought me my sausage.....delish! All the customers made a fuss of me. I am tempted to say please don't go there as this is the best dog friendly eating place in Derbyshire I know. Love Simba (Labrador aged 3.5)

Welcomed on arrival whilst viewing the lovely range of cakes and desserts! Quickly acknowledged on sitting indoors. Polite friendly service. Great presentation of food. Cheese and chutney sandwich with colourful salad and coleslaw. Fruit scone with cream and jam good quality. Went for the filter coffee ( with free top up) , great taste and temperature. Reasonable prices. Lovely cafe. The gift centre next door is amazing with outstanding window displays !

Always try and stop here for a bite when we pop up to the peak District, never disappoints. Came in the other day for afternoon tea, but decided to go for savoury afternoon tea instead. So glad we did, great selection of food, when it came out it didn't look a lot however we were absolutely stuffed afterwards. Sausage roll was lovely and the plum bread with cheese was equally as nice. Recommended

Terrible wait, the order came in bits. The staff seem to have little direction and it cannot be much fun for them. We've been coming here for 30 years. What's gone wrong?

Called whilst out on a walk. What a great find. Only had cake and coffee but it was really good. Friendly staff and nicely set out restaurant

Visited today and had great coffee and cake. Had an interesting looking menu with lots of gf and vegan options. Had quick service.

Popped in to look at the ever popular Halloween decorations and decided to have a quick lunch. We ordered a bowl of soup each and we’re going to have a coffee afterwards. But you have to pay as you go, which I find quite odd after Covid restrictions have been lifted. We finished our soup which was very tasty. And waited a further 20 mins to have our plates cleared. I find this odd as I counted 6 staff in the kitchen. All in all the food was lovely but the service crap. Also the cafe isn’t overly clean and should you have a table where you can see into the kitchen, it’s not the cleanest either. The fan has an inch of muck on it. Plus one of the staff licking their fingers was slightly off putting.

I used to love this cafe but several recent visits have been disappointing. The menu is far less interesting than formerly and the service haphazard. We went for a late lunch today. It wasn't exceptionally busy but we waited 50 minutes for our meal. We...

Sat at an outside table, one right in the middle of the yard. Over the course of the next 10 minutes four different members of staff walked past us, seemingly intent on avoiding eye contact at all costs. Not a single "hello", or "I'll be...

We stopped at The Eating House after a 16 mile walk. The day was autumnal and a little chilly so we ordered hot chocolate and cake. We both opted for the cranberry, pistachio and sultana chocolate tiffin, both were absolutely delicious! The cake menu was...

A pot of tea for 2 arrived on a dirty tray with remnants of food on the Saucers. Full English breakfast was expensive for how it was cooked, looked very fancy with an array of a green garnish (not what you expect on an English...

Unfortunately not as expected, but sufficed. A bit pricey for what was offered, too much onions on sandwiches, maybe if pickled or sautéed would have been better

Went here for a birthday treat for my daughter. The service was extremely slow and they just didn't seem bothered about serving us. I ordered the prawn salad and they tasted off so I mentioned it to the wait staff and she just said "okay"...

We went for lunch to use up a birthday voucher. It's the first time we've been since the pandemic and really nice to be able to sit outside in our own 'tent' shelter. Staff fetched a high chair when they saw we had a baby...

Fantastic breakfast to start off the day with lots of options from full cooked, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs to bacon butties. Staff are very friendly and helpful, great outdoor space or eat indoors if you prefer.

What can I say! The cakes are bloody amazing and the fresh cream is so fresh. Please don’t change I loved it, the price is good too. I will be back.love it

Fantastic, friendly, efficient staff! Very covid safe. Seating outside and in. A nice menu catering for all dietary requirements. We went mid afternoon so we only had lattes and a bakewell tart, as well as a vegan apple and blackberry crumble with soya custard. Delicious...

Called for a pre walk breakfast, we sat out in the gazebos so can't comment on the restaurant inside. We ordered 2 full breakfasts and coffees with additional toast, a little on the pricey side at £28 so although a really enjoyable breakfast and surroundings...

Enjoyed a couple of hours over lunch in a gazebo with friends we’d not seen for ages because of Covid. Despite the chilly weather the welcome we received was warm and friendly and the food very enjoyable. Every member of staff went out of their...

Had a very enjoyable ‘lunch’ mid walk. Although it was full to capacity service was efficient and professional; waiting times were reasonable for a small cafe serving freshly prepared food on a very busy afternoon. We were impressed with the variety of menu options and...

Spoken to rudely by two separate members of staff so walked out. We said we would like to eat in and the first lady shouted "You have to get a table first!" then we felt uncomfortable and said we had changed our minds and would...

Visited for a drink after a walk and stayed for lunch. Friendly efficient service in a pleasant atmosphere. The Eating House has an interesting menu that was perfect for our visit.

My wife and I called here today having been met with long queues at the Chatsworth Farm Shop cafe. The Eating House has our vote for the future. The menu is interesting with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices. Servie was brisk and the quality...

Fantastic!! Wonderful service and friendly staff in a great location with spacious, covered outside seating area. The food and drinks were delicious and presented beautifully. An especially good range of choices for dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options (not to easy to come by in...

We all felt safe eating outside and well cared for by attentive and friendly staff. The food was absolutely great - really tasty and well presented. There was five of us and we each chose something different from the menu but we all liked it...

Not sure whether this place has new management, as we have been many times before and have enjoyed it. However, this time we found the place cold and unwelcoming with unfriendly staff. We also found it expensive and there are plenty of other cafes in...

Nice place to eat in the sunshine. Service is a bit slow and 75p for a small slice of cheese is a rip off but apart from that the food is great, coffee is great and there’s a well stocked gift shop attached. Seemed very...

We have visited this cafe on multiple occasions and the service has always been slow which we are forgiving of especially given covid. Today however was completely unacceptable, the lady serving us was ignoring people who were waiting. She took 15 mins to take out...

What a find. Excellent service, very friendly smiley staff. Outstanding choices of Gluten Free options from breakfast through to lunch or afternoon cream teas. The food was delicious. Will return and recommend. Thank you.

We called in at The Eating House yesterday for a spot of lunch and have to say from the moment we turned up, the service was amazing. The young lady directing us to our table and taking our order was an absolute delight and nothing...

First visit in over a year, Best Afternoon Tea you will find, you can ask for types of cake you also get along with dainty scone's and cream & finger sandwich. If you don't like smoked salmon you can ask for something else like tuna....

Not our first visit & it won't be our last. Excellent food and coffee. Due to covid restrictions individual tables were set out under separate gazebos in the car park - just as well as we arrived just as a thunderstorm started. The staff are...

Every aspect of a successful cafe is covered here. A quality lunch with plenty of salad and a choice of delicious cakes in attractive (safe) outdoor surroundings at reasonable prices. Staff all attentive & engaged. Hopefully the outdoor areas can continue once normal times return.

After a long walk this is exactly what we needed. Soup and sandwich was 5*. Try the charcoal cheese!!! Delightful

Outstanding breakfast. Oh my word, this little gem have got their act together during Covid times. All very well organised, felt totally Safe. The food was quite simply wonderful, I had the GF breakfast and it was the best I have ever had, plentiful and...

We stopped off at The Eating House to grab a piece of cake for our picnic stop. The lady front of house was very friendly although service was a little slow due it appeared to not enough staff. We chose to buy a piece of...

Lovely takeaway high teas for mother’s’ day - sweet and savoury. Thoroughly enjoyed by all - ages from 15 to 92.

Ordered a takeaway sweet tea for an 80th Birthday Treat. Far exceeded my expectations. Easy to order online, ready and waiting when I arrived to collect, top quality sweet tea and a wonderful presentation. Would recommend and will use again for all future special occasions. An extra special treat very much appreciated during lockdown woes!

Cafe is closed currently, except for takeaway but there are lovely outdoor Christmas markets at the weekends. Fabulous Christmas treats to takeaway. Best mince pies and cheese straws that I have tasted for ages. Other Christmas goodies to eat. Lovely local crafts. Great way to enjoy a little time outside.

We visited on the 30th October 2020. It’s such a lovely cafe with very kind, friendly, attentive and welcoming staff! I really enjoyed our meal, the food was excellent, well presented and the customer service was great. The covid measures in place made us feel very safe, we chose to sit in the outdoor seating area under the gazebos. These were so cozy and warm also beautifully decorated for Halloween. I loved the amount of detail that went into everything. I would thoroughly recommend and definitely visit again!❤️

Great place for food and cake. Really friendly staff. Delicious food. Have got this lockdown thing sorted. Really clean, excellent one way system. And you get to check out the fab shop at the same time.

Visited the Eating House yesterday for a breakfast stop on a bike ride. Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and were happy for us to bring our bikes into our personal Covid-19 gazebo where our table was. Very well though through Covid procedures which were enforced in a professional and friendly way. Food was excellent and they even came round with a free coffee refill which was very welcome. Special thanks to the lady welcoming customers onto the premises.

Very impressed with the COVID secure set up. A lot of thought has gone into it. Lovely friendly staff. We sat outside in a cosy gazebo. Food lovely. Felt very safe.

We hoped for tea and scones, and having been shown to our table in a very organised, but surly manner in the refashioned car park with individual gazebo-style booths, we waited and waited for service. When the waitress eventually came to take our order she informed us that there were no scones, and hadn’t been for some time. If we’d have been given that info as we sat down it would have been a game changer. But we placed our order as we were now settled. The drinks came but no cakes. By the time the cakes did arrive all drinks were nearly finished but it had taken so long for the order to arrive we couldn’t bear the wait for more drinks, so we gamely ate cake ‘dry’. A small concern in these troubling times, I agree, but what we’d hoped to be afternoon tea at the end of a fantastic walk, turned into a dull, slow affair. We shall vote with our feet and not go back here.

The Eating House has gone above and beyond to ensure customer safety during this difficult time. Attractive walled gazebos with delightful Derbyshire Landscapes on the backdrops, provide a safe haven for four guests in which to eat and drink. Alternatively there are a few socially distanced tables in the courtyard and also inside the building.The staff are extremely customer friendly and work very hard to ensure safety measures are followed. The food is excellent and the coffee is wonderful.Please be patient if it’s busy as there may a wait for a table, but that is to ensure everyone’s safety.

Stopped here after a walk in the nearby area. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Great Covid-19 measures in place. Food arrived quickly and was lovely. Would definitely return if in the area again.

We went out for breakfast at Chatsworth, as it was full, We decided to drive around the others villages and after few minutes we found The Eating House. I just loved it, wonderful staff, wonderful breakfast and Covid safe.

Visited here for coffee and cake post walk. Covid measures were excellent which is reassuring. Delicious coffee and lovely wide range of non standard cakes! I had a coconut, lime and raspberry crumble slice which was delicious.

Visited on an unusually busy weekday, however have been very impressed by the social distancing measures put in place. A one way system with clear instructions on how it works and, staff members happy to help with reminding you of the measures. In addition to this, hand sanitiser at multiple points in the cafe. With the the table service the food arrived on a separate small table next to where you’re eating to minimise contact. In addition to all those measure, the service was still rather speedy.

Called in for a late lunch. Very well organised regarding covid. Staff very friendly, food was excellent. Will definitely be visiting again.

We called in for lunch today. It was the most organised place regarding Covid that we have been to, everything was in place-we waited to be seated, staff wore masks, everything was sanitised and we sat in a gazebo outside. The service was excellent as was the food. We would highly recommend it and will be back.

Fast becoming my favourite place to eat! The food is fresh, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. Have a walk in the heart of beautiful derbyshire then treat yourself to a lovely meal.

Arrived about 4pm they were open till 5pm on Sundays, As one customer was leaving another arrived seamed to be very popular. They had put up gazebos in the car park and made it look very inviting with lovely flower pots dotted around. One lady was taking your order and keeping everything clean and sanitised then another lady was bringing out your order from the kitchen. We only had coffee and cake so can’t comment on lunches, My cake was ok but nothing special just seamed a bit dry and tasteless it wasn’t like having a treat maybe I just choose the wrong cake that day but it was good to see that they do have many other GF options available on there menu .

Near Baslow and a great place to eat. Excellent food we had chicken and leek crumble with new potatoes and salad. Really worth going here lovely individual gazebos outside for the family. Service was so friendly and professional. We will return.

Really well organised for C19 restrictions ... love the gazebos with the individual backdrops! Friendly staff, hot tea and great cake... what more is needed? Oh ... a fresh dog bowl of water freely provided. Thanks.

They have now provided several gazebos around their court yard, along with other spaced out tables, so it is a really safe little place to eat. Your food is served on a serving tray and placed on a small table at the end of your table, so as to limit human contact. Their food is home made and superb. The staff were very pleasant and their service was good. But be warned this is a very busy little place and you will more than likely have to queue, but don't let this put you off it is well worth the wait. If like us you have been walking it is muddy boots and dog friendly

I've been inprisoned by covid for 5 months. Today we escaped to Calver to this most excellent establishment. The food and service were good, we were well looked after. But, importantly their covid 19 security is first class. We couldn't fault it. So full marks to all of you. We were paranoid about going out but you all made us welcome, safe and secure.oh the foods good as well.

Lovely homemade food with excellent service. All of our choices were fresh and delicious and I can recommend their ploughman’s and berry smoothie

Really friendly and hard working staff. This place was absolutely heaving when we arrived so decided to get take out and sit on the grassy area opposite to eat it. They have made an excellent effort with the COVID 19 restrictions and are working very hard. We had baguettes which I think were freshly baked and had very delicious fillings. The only reason I’ve not given it a 5 rating is there was a very long wait even for take out. Otherwise everything was great.

treating my friend to Afternoon Tea for her birthday. Was nice but could very easily have been so much better. for £12 each I would have liked at least one more small sandwich each. We had 4 slim fingers -cheese. ham,egg and tuna, scones were ok. 2 small scones with jam and cream. the cakes were disappointing surprisingly-a very close textured lemony wedge which we both left half of. A heavy and very salty chocolate brownie and a fruity slice nothing fancy or really afternoon tea treats. I would have liked a choice or a variety that included something lighter and more varied. a small metal tea pot of tea and a cup of filter coffee with cold milk could have been improved very easily. the service was good and the covid arangements reassuringly safe.

I ordered the Savoury Picnic for two as a surprise treat to celebrate as a surprise for my husband for our wedding anniversary and I was not disappointed.Everything was just perfect, a choice of pate (I went for the mackerel) , quiche, baguettes and a choice of cake (deliciously chocolate sponge for us), plus all kind of lovely goodies, including sausage rolls, olives and cumin flavoured hummus, chutney and crudites. We also had a choice of soft drink and so went for sparkling elderflower.We collected it in a lovely easy to carry box, and even though I had ordered it in advance (so knew what was going to be inside) we still felt it was a real delight opening our 'hamper ' up and trying all the goodies inside. What a great treat to collect form this special place, perhaps when you are en route to Chatsworth or Curbar Edge?. It also saves you the work! Can't wait to try the 'sweet' picnic or afternoon tea another time.In short, The Eating House certainly know how to give food the special touch, all with excellent service .And all credit to them for being innovative with their menu and offering this service at what remains a difficult time, even when lockdown restrictions have been relaxed.Ps I also ordered a Victoria Sponge made with fresh cream and strawberries to take to Chatsworth for a Father's Day picnic last month, again great value at £13! The cake was delicious too and cut to 8 generous slices. Sublime!

Post lockdown coffee and cake. 4 adults and 4 dogs, we sat in our own pod outside Exceptionally well organised, felt very safe. Generous portion size of delicious cake.

Post lockdown lunch. Meatballs, absolutely super! See previous two reviews for details but felt safe and had a great, if slightly windswept lunch.

Our first meal out since the start of Lockdown.This place has got everything right. 7 Gazebos in the car park give a pleasant environment for semi alfresco dining, with option of other outdoor and indoor tables.House rules for hygiene and social distancing are clear and well observed by staff, with a one way system and remote table service.We shared a superb ploughman's and a hot meatball dish, both tickled our taste-buds after a long walk.Then homemade chutney was divine.Service was friendly, efficient and they made everyone feel welcome and safe- the one to follow!

We felt really safe visiting this cafe and sat outside in one of seven gazebos in the car park. If the staff here had been running the country's response to the virus then thousands of lives would have been saved! Rules and procedures were explained clearly and then we were able to enjoy drinks and cakes after our walk. My 85 year old mother was with me and would not hesitate to repeat our visit.

One way system, individual marquees outside, waitress service and spacious inside. Felt safe, and nice to see staff are cared for too. Menu not as extensive as normal and you can't browse the yummy cakes but still a great place to eat.

In Derbyshire for the day came to one of favourite little shops and cafe , Now with social distance in place . Glad to fine Food most excellent as usual and staff really nice and friendly. Good to be back😀.

Listen up you spurious babies. I don’t want to make you fearful but next time we have a fight at ‘the eating house’ in ‘calver’ you won’t walk away so easily. What happened last time? I hear you ask. Let me lighten this situation as there is a lot to unpack.I ordered my usual, banana split as the high amounts of potassium help me to focus my vision when partaking in my favourite hobby, bird spotting. I simply asked the waiter, is this straight from the plantation and to my shock he replied with “and I suppose you want your milk straight from the cow as well.” Overflowing with rage, my body went into fight or flight. My first action was to plant a steely fist right in his kisser. That’ll leave a bruise, I thought. Before he could retaliate I arched my back like a whale surfacing for air and did a triple summersault, unfortunately landing inside the drinks machine. Two or three others got up from their tables and made to surround me. “Ka law ka kaw” I called out to the birds for help, none came. “Deserters, cowards, black” (they are crows it’s fine.) It was over for me, there were enemies in all directions. The manager sent a fatal blow straight into my crack, shattering my pelvis. I got out of hospital yesterday, and I’m out for revenge. Next time I order a banana split, it better be fair trade. Angry and mortally wounded,Asuna Mcarthur

Just a quick stop for coffee. Excellent coffee and free refills available if certain tea or coffee purchased. Had a quick look at the menu whilst waiting. Vegan food available and the cakes on view looked amazing. Staff attentive.

We had to queue for a few minutes, but the time was useful to make our choice from the vast array of cakes, tray bakes and pies displayed in the cabinet. When the cake was delivered to the table, to our surprise, it had a small portion of fruit on the side which was such a nice touch.

What an amazing breakfast! The eating house staff were brilliant, they were able to cater for 9 of us in a timely and professional manner.The choice is vast, we all chose something different and every one of us ate every scrap! Fantastic quality food cooked perfectly!

Have had breakfast here twice while visiting the area and have found the size of the meals and the quality of ingredients to be very good indeed. There are some different choices like kedgeree, as well as good vegan and gluten free options. My only slight reservation is that it is a little on the pricey side.

The cakes are great ...when fresh. We have been caught out twice now; we’ve selected the freshest looking, uncut cake and been served some older version from the kitchen!As this happened to us quite recently, today we made sure to check that the lovely Bakewell tart on display was the one we would be served and we even watched the server take it Ito the back to cut.When it arrived, I actually commented to my husband that if this was the fresh one, I’m glad we didn’t get an older slice!What a surprise when we left the cafe only to see the intact new tart back on its pedestal untouched!I went back to complain as I think this is a sneaky trick. How fresh the cake is is something I consider when making my selection! Please be honest and display the cake currently in use! This has happened twice now and we particularly checked on this occasion. Even worse, I heard the staff giggling as I left so I think they knew exactly what had gone on.

A super little cafe attached to an excellent gift shop. It has a very quaint atmosphere with lovely food. Plenty of free car parking.

Called in for lunch while working in the area , lovely menu great selection of cakes. Can’t complain about the food soup lovely as was the lemon drizzle cake. Only downside the same person taking the order also makes the drinks and then takes the money !! This made for incredibly slow service , while waiting a group of people walked out ! I notice a similar comment further down this feed . Shame ! Great little place but needs some serious review on the customer service , have someone else to make the drinks please .

Lovely cafe. Nice outside area. Good shop. Gluten free menu is very good, particularly breakfast and cakes. Think staff are aware to avoid cross contamination etc. Well done!!!!

Great choice, even for vegans and coeliacs. Lots of yummy cakes as well. Slightly annoying that you are told to queue and order food before reserving a table... Last time I had to start eating stood up waiting for a table... So avoid peak times. Good choice of drinks. Staff are nice but it may be helpful if one made drinks whilst another took the order as it can be time consuming.

Popped in for lunch and the food was exquisite, couldn't believe how nice it was and on my doorstep. Great choice on the menu and really fresh.

This eaterie does have some lovely cakes and food in general and the staff are all very nice but the time to get served at the till is ridiculous.

We called in for cake and coffee, after our disappointment with the afternoon tea. This we chose our favourite cakes, which were delicious and an extra bonus is that they now have loyalty cards for cake so Happy Days!

Called for breakfast and glad we did, great tea and coffee served with freshly prepared quality food. Although we didn’t have any the cakes also looked fabulous. 110% recommended by all my family.

We have been here for years and we are glad we visited. A great choice of cakes and lovely drinks. Very welcoming and friendly staff. We saw some of the breakfast’s coming out and the looked amazing so next time we are planning to try a breakfast.

My wife and I visited today for Afternoon Tea. An amazing selection of finger sandwiches, cakes, scones with jam and cream along with a decorative salad and various fruits and endless coffee and tea - what’s not to like.

We were lucky enough to be treated by friends to breakfast in this lovely little place. Great Full English Breakfast and Eggs Benedict. Beautifully cooked bacon sausage eggs and mushrooms.Free top ups of tea and coffee. Only held back from scoring a 5 because the oatcakes were soggy - I think I’d prefer toast if it was possible to offer as an alternative? Overall though a lovely place and would like to come back and sample the wonderful looking cakes!

We have been to the Eating House many times and we thought we would have afternoon tea this week. So we ordered at the till, and having been behind someone ordering afternoon tea on a previous visit, thought we could choose the cakes we would like. Apparently not, we were told they would be chosen for us, nor were we asked about a choice of sandwiches (there could have been fillings either one of us didn't like). It came on a three tiered cake plate, the sandwiches were OK, but selection of tray bakes, wouldn't have been our choice. So all in all a little disappointed, however, it won't stop us visiting again!

Great food poor coffee small and very noisy ! Lovely little shops attached wouldn’t say it’s a craft place as all items seem to be mass produced

We were walking along The Derwent Valley Way and so coming across this cafe proved a welcome treat. We had latte/tea and scone which were all good. There was a cabinet full of delicious looking cakes and a packed menu board..... maybe next time.

I had seen an advertisement for The Derbyshire Craft Centre, but it was a bonus when we found that we could eat lunch there. It is quite busy as one would expect on a warm sunny day, but having chosen our food we sat down to await its arrival. The salads were delicious and well worth waiting for, but the choice of cakes was unbelievable, but everything was enjoyable.

This teashop is attached to a lovely and very well stocked craft shop. You place your order at the counter before sitting down at a table.

Parking available whilst using the cafe.

This is a great little cafe and a worthwhile stop-off for refreshments. Very busy so a short wait but with good rewards at the end. There are a good choice of light meals available and an excellent choice of cakes for those with a sweet tooth! Pleasant staff and surroundings if a little small. Very nice eating place.
