The Salt Pot in Amber Valley

A lovely little cafe in Swanwick village, just across the road from St Andrews Church. The All Day Breakfast was delicious and the pot of tea made three cups! The cakes looked lovely. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the ladies there were lovely. We'll definitely visit the Salt Pot again. I've added a current (Sept 2024) menu as an image as I couldn't find one online.

We nipped in for lunch. I had a jacket potato and tuna which came with salad and coleslaw. Lovey atmosphere and staff

Lovely staff very welcoming. The tea was great very affordable for a lovely chat with friends

Never known such a dirty cafe in my life!! So we had some time after laytons dentist appointment so we went to swanwick cafe To top it off she gave my son his food first which I expect anyway so that was a good thing but then forgot the sausage and mushrooms cob I ordered So she cooked the sausages and mushrooms but they was both frozen and microwaved for 30 seconds she then dropped a sausage on floor told her she dropped it she put it in the side then in a plate and cooked another sausage then put that sausage on the same plate as the one she dropped they didn’t touch but she tried to give me the sausage she dropped on floor I will be leaving that review on their page if they have one they are disgusting and need shutting down!!!!! Oh to top it off the used her fingers to take the mushrooms out the bowl no gloves on or nothing These sausages are not cooked

What a pleasant little spot this is for breakfast or lunch. This cafe in the small Derbyshire village of Swanwick is not huge by any means, only seating about a dozen or so diners, but it’s extremely comfortable, quite homely, with a stylish contemporary decor conducive to enjoying a relaxing coffee or bite to eat. I believe it’s a community endeavour and that some of the staff are volunteers. Full marks to them. I’ve walked past this little cafe many times over the past 15 or so years, and went in for breakfast for the first time just recently. I enjoyed a Saltpot Breakfast. Whilst not haute cuisine by any means (and at £5.50, nor did I expect that), it was simple, ample, and tasty - sausages, egg, bacon, and tomato (or beans). One slight improvement would be for the waitress to ask how you wanted your eggs done. The coffee, a double espresso, was reasonable. I was pleased to see the almost local Denby Pottery being used as the cafe’s crockery - nice touch. The menu isn’t huge, but there’s a reasonable selection, from a hot breakfast, to cobs, sandwiches, jacket potatoes, omelettes, and sausage rolls and pasties. There’s options for vegetarians. There’s a small selection of cakes and desserts, with gluten and dairy free options available. Prices are astonishingly cheap so it presents good value. The cafe is only open weekdays, between 09:30 and 14:30. I was surprised at how busy it was, as nearly every seating spot was occupied. The staff were friendly, without being overbearing or intrusive. There’s WiFi available, and the cafe is suitable to those using mobility assistance as a ramp at the entrance provides access. It’s on The Green, just up the street from the local parish church.

A very handy little cafe right on the traffic lights. The menu is limited but is freshly prepared. If you just want a snack or a lovely coffee and cake, its ideal. I think it closed around 2.30. There is a free car park just 50 meters further up the street

Called here for a quick bite to eat on on cold day after going to the post office The parking is very limited no on road parking available but there is a small car park further up the road The cafe is small ,about 8 tables But very friendly Best value is the specials especially The pensioner specials A nice place to stop for a short while and watch the world go bye Open times are only at lunch time No evenings

Excellent café for coffee and food plus good conversation. Food good home made selection with always specials on offer

Excellent service and value for money meals in a relaxing environment Car parking available free of charge across the road.

Fancied a breakfast so popped in here. Beautifully cooked ample full English. High quality low price so tremendous value. Good community spirit. Will definitely go back.

We needed a quick lunch and visited this lovely cafe. Food was excellent and cooked to order. Nothing was too much trouble. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and very welcoming.
