The Snug in North East Derbyshire

Rude young female staff member serving drinks. Quick too inform us no food available and closing at 3 pm. Needs to learn better customer service skills.

On the door is says closes at 3pm but soon as you ask for food they say it’s too late to order , clearly they need to change the times on the door to closes at 2pm for food

If a customer asks for the door to be closed because it is cold outside, the answer is not to intimate that the door is open for the convenience of the staff; the answer is to close the door.

Had a great breakfast, reasonably priced, value for money and delicious. Friendly staff and would definitely recommend.

This place is amazing,food is delicious,staff are really friendly,I like the fact dogs are welcome. The cakes are amazing ,good value for money

First of all lovely staff. Recently under new management. Brilliant staff and lovely food especially the chocolate flapjack.

In my opinion, this is the best cafe in Dronfield and we've been in all of them. Under the relatively new managers the place is really friendly, including towards children, dogs and those of more advanced years. The menu is a little bit unusual, really well-priced and the chef knows his onions. There are always lunch specials, the recent goulash being particularly good, and everything is served with a smile. They are putting their hearts and souls into this place and it shows. Our only problem is that we are on holiday now, so won't be able to enjoy the food for a while.

On a sunny morning, what can be better than sitting on a patio for breakfast. The service provided by Jade was perfect, with nothing too much trouble. I chose Eggs Benedict for breakfast and when it arrived you could almost see that it would taste marvelous. And it did. Thanks Tim the chef. And it's nice to sit and chat with other couples who have just dropped in for a drink, full English, or coffee and cake.

Having been a few times now, whether just for cake and coffee or a meal, the portions are amazing, the atmosphere welcoming and the cakes superior to most coffee places (if not all local places!). Happily keep going back time and time again.

We visited with my 94 year old mum,my brother and sister-in-law and my 5 year old granddaughter Accessibility is good Staff friendly and efficient And Wow! The food! My hubby and brother had full cooked which they said was top.Good sausage which can be a maker or breaker! I had the best Eggs Florentine ever(and Ive had loads) the Hollandaise was superb My granddaughter said BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS EVER!!! And she knows her scrambled eggs! Thankyou

Popped in today for breakfast with wife and some friends. The Snug is well decorated, clean, tidy and has great service. We had the small English breakfast, toast with preserves and eggs royal with extra black pudding, definitely one of the best breakfasts I've had, absolutely delicious!

Fab food of great quality products, lovely people and really well priced. So glad this cafe has opened again under new management. Hope it’s here to stay!

Excellent quality food and drink.four breakfasts and beans o toast all very good and hot coffee and teas all good and hot.

Wow, what a fantastic place. Lovely food, atmosphere was great and the staff were diamonds. Great food at a reasonable price for the quality. Will be returning, and we cant wait!

Popped in with my son, had a lovely bacon and egg sandwich, the full breakfast looked great and good value I think that might become my weekend treat. The cafe was clean and comfortable, service was quick and efficient, food was great and tea was in a big teapot. Price was very reasonable.

This cafe has been closed for a while and has just reopened with new owners, so thought we'd try it out. It's my nearest cafe, so I'm pleased to have it back. Ordered eggs benedict for £7 and my friend had a big sausage, egg and bacon sandwich for £4. Both were very tasty. Service pretty quick. We sat outside because the weather is freakishly warm for October, but there were maybe 8 tables inside. All looked clean and the staff were friendly. They brought us out cushions for our chairs. I didn't notice if you did kid meals, but would be great if you have little cheaper buns or gingerbread men etc for kids for after school maybe, with there being 2 schools so nearby. You could entice us in with make your own pizzas or something.

I regularly visit this lovely café during my dog walks while in Dronfield. The coffee is lovely and the cakes delicious. They recently catered for my Mum's funeral and di a brilliant job. Out door seating makes it very easy with my dogs and I always feel welcomed.

Everything you would expect from a cafe. Nice coffee, food and cake. Staff are friendly. I would go back again.

I visited here with my daughter and 8 week old grandson as we knew that the place is very child friendly. As it was a lovely day we sat outside at a table in the shade, but there is plenty of room inside for prams and buggies and a children's play area with lots of toys. The baby needed a nappy change during our visit and my daughter was very satisfied with the changing area in the cloakroom. We both ordered club sandwiches, one of which was the vegetarian option, and they were delicious, accompanied by a serving of salad. I had a cappuccino, while my daughter went for a cooling peach flavoured tea and we couldn't resist a slice of coffee cake each which was also delicious. We will definitely be visiting again with or without the baby!

Great cakes, lovely food and drinks and very friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Tucked away but plenty of parking Recommended to all. Go. Enjoy

Visited with my wife and young baby. Place has a really nice feel about it and a happy atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and friendly and were very tolerant of our dirty wheeled pram leaving a trail of mud everywhere. The food is good and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our visit and will be coming again. Thanks.

We love going to this little tea room. The cakes are wonderful and not small portions! The teas are in china teacups and teapot. My partner had the Lady Grey tea which comes in a diffuser teapot with an additional timer to make sure it brews for the correct and ideal time. It can get a little busy and at times a bit noisy with young children who are welcomed and well catered for.

It is always very friendly with really gorgeous food especially the chocolate brownie - delicious. The latte is real lovely. Service is excellent. The decor is very welcoming. Children are very well catered for and encouraged to feel at home.

Had a lovely lunch. Food was very good and staff really friendly. Only problem.......cakes were too good to resist.

Great place for coffee and lunch. Food is good and not too pricey. Toys for kids there too and staff are very friendly.

Great food and coffee. It's a real cosy place to go in the winter with outdoor seating in the summer. It has a small area for the kids to play too.

Simply love this place, I'm here at least once a week always great food & delicious cakes. The staff are so friendly and welcoming even to all the children we had with us today because of half term! See you again soon for a quieter visit from us!

Really nice place especially if got children, the foods lovely and cafe nicely decorated etc my only gripe is that im paying £1.00 for a kids drink from Aldi down the road. I know there's mark up on everything but I'd not mind paying so much if it was a branded item ... I buy the drinks myself they are £1.10 for 4 !

El propietario debe ser consciente de que cuando las puertas se han abierto bifold durante el verano que hay un montón de detritus agitándose antiestética en la cafetería y amplias necesidades regularmente. El café estaba caliente. Los pasteles son un poco caros. Nunca estoy seguro de si es abierto en el fin de semana ya que para los partidos al azar cerrar

So relaxing. Children really welcomed. Staff just brilliant. It's a pick me up just to go there. Cakes yummy

Decoración agradable y limpio. El personal es muy amable y educado. Las tartas casero y son muy agradables. No escatiman en el tamaño de la porción. He tenido un par de veces y siempre he quedado muy satisfecho con la calidad y el servicio. Se lo recomendaría a amigos

Visitó ayer (1/6/2016) para algunos comer tarde. La comida era rápida para venir y moda genial. Yo tenía un club sándwich y mi esposa tenía la patata y sopa de puerro (que a mi hija de 6 años de edad, mantuvo disuadirte). En general poco más de £13 incluyendo 3 bebidas y nos fuimos contentos.

What a great cafe, keep up the good work! Lovely chicken sandwich and my kids had a milkshake each and it was lovely lunch out in a peaceful environment.

I have been here three times now and came away each time thinking what a great place it is. The food is lovely and reasonably priced. The café itself isn't over crammed with tables leaving room for pushchairs etc. there's a fab little corner with toys to keep children occupied and it's easy to get to and park close by. It's obviously very popular with local mums and their kids as every time I've been they've made up the majority of the clientele, great if you've got children of your own as you don't have to stress too much about the usual mealtime madness that kids can some times create. However I can appreciate that this may be less than ideal if you want a quiet, relaxing drink. I have only been at lunchtime though so this may not be the case at other times of the day.

Enjoyed Jacket potato, with baked beans, cheese and salad, great!Coffee cake fabulous, coffee & tea great!

This is a a great place to meet and relax,chat,or chill out great food and drinks and the staff are fab

This is a great little cafe which offers excellent food and drinks with an environment that welcomes all ages. It is excellent for family's and we have visited regularly since it has opened and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend trying out this little gem.

Lovely food, freshly baked scones and tasty cakes - lovely atmosphere. Child friendly environment in a relaxed setting. Lovely friendly staff.

Met a friend here who comes quite often. Love the fact that they love children and cater very well for them with toys to play with too. My 3 year old loved the kids luxury hot chocolate.Nice coffee, lovely cake. Very friendly staff even when my 5 year old broke a glass, they were so understanding about it. And for that we'll definitely be back. We all demolished the cake. Lovely place

Always a lovely place to have coffee and cake. Would recommend to anyone, especially the real homemade cakes! This is not a complaint but just an observation in that it does quite often resemble a crèche during the week and you do have to like children but I suppose this is the cafés target market. Full marks from me whenever I go!

Service great, coffee great, food lovley. Will be back! Enjoy sandwiches, nice fresh bread, lovley filling, well presented!

A super little gem , sorry that I had not visited earlier. Beautifully presented and very tasty food . Decor lovely , great facilities for all ages . Cakes to die for , all expertly made by the lady with a smashing smile .most definitely will visit again .

I visited The Snug today for the first time today, I was with my ten week old son and two friends, one with a 4 month old baby and the other with a four year old. What a great find! It's so nice to be able to take our children and feel relaxed, so much so that I discreetly breastfed for the first time in public. The food was acceptable, not a vast choice but the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make up for that. I didn't try the cakes, which have rave reviews so looking forward to trying those next time. I can see this becoming a regular haunt of ours in the future. Only suggestion is that it would be nice to see more hot dishes other than just Panini's and soup, maybe a daily special? However, limited kitchen factilites/space may restrict the menu? Either way, keep up the good work and looking forward to visiting again - very soon!

Can't believe I've lived in Dronfield nearly 3 yrs and only just discovered The Snug! It's gorgeous..lovely food (had soup & a sandwich for lunch), fab choc milkshake and divine chocolate cake..a hugely generous serving split between the two of us. Great place to take young children but beautifully done out for adults too. The owner was very friendly and helpful..can't recommend enough.

What a wonderful find! Tucked away in a quiet area this is a delightful cafe. Lovely decorations and comfortable seating, with an area where children can play it, has a real welcoming feeling . There is a very good choice of coffees and teas and the cakes are fantasticn! We had a delicious jacket potato with cheese and baked beans served with an attractive salad, followed by a huge slice of wonderful coffee cake. We will definitely be going back.

Awww this café is so sweet, I loved it! Its decorated very 'vintage' and its so cosy and friendly! We had toast and tuna sandwiches and home made scones and brownies (wow). All gorgeous, home made food, great atmosphere and value for money. This café is a little hidden gem and we will deff pop in again.

This is an excellent coffee house, they also have a good range of cakes. They also have an area where the kids can play with toys and crayoning ect.

I visit on almost a weekly basis since they have opened and haven't been disappointed yet! Food is fantastic and staff are friendly and cheerful. I personally recommend the club sandwich and any of the home made cakes.

I love this place and lunch here at least once a week! Fabulously family friendly little café... Fantastic kids corner full of toys and books which keeps my toddler occupied whilst waiting for lunch! They even have a children's table and chairs to make them feel extra special! Tables, high chairs, kids corner and toilets always clean and tidy and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. When the weather is warm, bi-folding doors running across the whole of the café open up onto a lovely patio and grassy area which the owners fill with books and toys for children. Lovely touch.There is a great choice of lunch including jacket potatoes, panini's, hot and cold sandwiches - all which come with a salad garnish, all day breakfasts, tea cakes, scones and of course their famous cakes... the chocolate brownie being my husbands favourite which I have to take him home each time I go (at least once a week!!). There is also a huge selection of hot and cold drinks. Children also have their own menu option and a special meal deal. Jackets, sandwiches, beans on toast, toasties etc... Can't fault it!Keep up the good work please!!

This was my second time here as I had previously been in with friends for coffee and that had been good.However the.panini I had with a different friend I took for lunch was very average and lacked filling .The price indicated a decent helping but it was disappointing for both of us so perhaps we should have stuck to cake and coffee

Visit at least three times a week for coffee, cakes and lunches. Often with, family, friends and sometimes solo. The food is of an excellent quality, all homemade and plentiful. The proprietor is very skilled in making the most amazing and delicious cakes, biscuits etc.The Snug is very welcoming and inviting and nothing is too much trouble.The staff are super with children there are plenty of toys and books to amuse the little ones.I feel hugely valued as a customer, the staff are always cheerful and spend time with you if you're alone. There is a lovely family atmosphere. They have enriched the social life of the community hugely and long may it continue.The opening times accommodate customers meal times throughout the day. They are prepared to extend their opening hours to cater for private parties.I cannot recommend The Snug enough. Dronfield is very lucky to have The Snug that is also easy to find with plenty of parking.

Excellent service, lovely food, really nice atmosphere and great coffee ..would highly recommend coming here..A great place to come with the family

First off I was surprised by the reviews on here versus my own personal experience of the place. Whilst the coffee was great and It being a good thing that there is finally a local cafe this side of Dronfield I can't help but feel that if there were more competition the food would be forced to improve. I had a chicken club sandwich for lunch and my mum had a chicken and brie panini, both came with a 'salad garnish' which was comprised of one minuscule shredded piece of lettuce, a slither of tomato and a morsel of cucumber plus a plop of some nasty store bought coleslaw and a couple of random Pringles for good measure. No joke but it was the stingiest sandwich filling I've ever EVER experienced, we both had to actively search for evidence of chicken within both our meals, half a layer of wafer thin chicken that only covered half the bread! My club sandwich was pretty much 3 slices of bread with loads of mayonnaise to compensate. Nobody asked us how the food was and just cleared the plates away which is why I felt compelled to share my experience here. In retrospect I wish we had gone to the Co-Op a few doors down instead for a sandwich meal deal. For £5.50ish each I'd have expected way more that these sad excuses for sandwiches especially when I had such a great local cafe in London with way higher location rental rates that charges £6 for 5X the sandwich quality (with visible fillings), home made potato wedges AND a fresh turkish side salad. Feel a bit robbed, still hungry and won't be going back.

I've been to The Snug quite a few times now with friends and family and found the cakes to be consistently delicious with plenty of choice. The coffee is good also. The café itself is lovely and I have always found it to be clean no matter how busy it was. The staff are friendly and very helpful and there is free parking adjacent.

I have frequently visited the Snug and have been meaning to write a review for quite some time... so here goes. Firstly, the staff are very friendly and courteous - nothing is ever too much trouble and they are always smiling, no matter how busy it is (and it can be very busy). The food is always first class and the selection of cakes always makes it difficult to resist the temptation. Remember the advert, "naughty, but nice!"?? The coffee, I think it is "Heavenly Coffee" really is... well, heavenly. The ambience and decor is relaxing and the seats very comfortable. All in all, I always wish I could spend all afternoon there, alas, I am never able as there's work to be done elsewhere. I'll keep calling in as I do on a weekly basis and continue to enjoy the treat, as a treat.

I have been to the Snug a few times since it opened and have always really enjoyed the experience, the food is very good and well presented. Today I went with my Daughter and 3 year old Granddaughter, who by the way loves the kiddies corner, this keeps her occupied whilst waiting for the food. The food served was once again excellent but I was really surprised at the general cleanliness of the place. There were only 3 tables occupied when we first arrived but we had a job to find a clean one, the floor round most of the unoccupied tables was left unswept where food had been dropped. I don't know if they were short staffed but the whole time we were in there no one cleaned a table top or swept the dirty floor in fact we had to use baby wipes to clean our table. I hope the owners take the time to read this review and take on board my comments. Having said this I will still visit again because it is convenient and the food is very good.

Enjoyed this place, comfortable seating, nice food offered, ideal for. Quick cuppa and drink. Tucked away but easy parking

When I visited the snug with my mother the staff were incredibly polite and attentive. The food portions were rather large and tasted devine. There was a large variety to choose from and the prices certainly wernt extortionate considering how much you recieved. The atmosphere is great for all ages and its a lovely 'snug' place to visit in the cold winter months to meet for a coffee with friends. The cafe is very child friendly with numerous toys for them to play with and it is also welcoming to new mums (breastfeeding). All in all a very welcoming little cafe not too far from the civic centre (easy access for all)

I have been meaning to visit the snug for a while and popped in yesterday afternoon. The reviews I had heard of were very well placed, the snug is a lovely little tea room. It has a lovely friendly atmosphere, lots for kids to do but also nice for adults. The selection of loose leaf teas were my favourite part, and the sandwich and scones we had were delicious. I would highly recommend a visit to this place whether for a quick drink or lunch with the family. I do think they would benefit in extending the lunch serving times beyond 2pm though as this is quite early for some.

When looking for a venue for our daughters Christening celebration, The Snug was top of our list. I am a regular visitor to the coffee shop with my daughter; as they always make you and your children feel welcome. The service was second to none, as always, and the food was wonderful and was appreciated by all of our guests. Much effort had gone in to making all the cakes, in particular ones with sugar paste flowers and edible glitter and the scones with jam and cream were such a delight and a personal favourite. Dione and Jill added a few extra touches which make it a day that our family and friends would remember. Thank you for making the day special.

Good spot for lunch. The cafe is nicely decorated, with a mix of dining tables and sofas. Younger kids(under 5's) have a corner with plenty of toys to keep them occupied. The food is high quality, home made and with plenty of choice. The cakes are huge and lovely. Overall, it's very impressive stuff-the only criticism I have is that the bill runs easily past £30 for a family of 4 - this is about 50% more than other cafés in dronfield.

Newly built, this is an excellent coffee and tea shop in Dronfield Woodhouse. Family friendly (toys for children) but with adult refinement (china cups, saucers and plates). An excellent range of home cocked cakes, plus lunchtime sandwiches and rolls. Also has wi-fi access. Go and enjoy it! Not far from Sindelfingen Park - a great place for children to play.

We found this little cafe on TA and have been several times now. Nice decor, nice coffee, nice cakes and nice people. What more could you want?

Lovely- well decorated and clean. Good choice of cakes and drinks. Very reasonable prices. Great to go to with children. Plenty of parking.

What an excellent venue, friendly, accessible, delicious home baked food, lovely atmosphere. Just had my mother's 90th birthday party there with family and friends ranging from 3 to 93! all catered for and super accomadating staff. Would highly recommend the Snug to anyone considering anything similar. Will return for more of their delicious cakes!

Coffee fans ... get to The Snug! My friend took me here to sample the Lemon and White Chocolate Cake which lived up to it's yummy reputation. However, I was even more impressed with the high standard of the coffee. Easily beats Costa I had a Cafe Latte and a Cappuccino. Both were beautifully presented and tasted divine. The feel in this place is really unique - so friendly. Decor is beautiful and it's so nice not to be cramped back to back with the next table - very airy and spacious! You could easily enjoy a whole afternoon here!

I have visited The Snug many times with friends and with the kids. There is always a warm welcome and whether you have a cake a a cuppa or stay for lunch, it is always well served and cooked well.

We travelled from Australia recently to visit relatives in Dronfield W and chanced upon this little gem as we were exploring. Great coffee, awesome cakes, stylish and eclectic decor. Wonderful service, welcoming vibe and very child-friendly. Only wish we could visit more often.

Recently visited for my mum's 82nd birthday, pre-booked for afternoon tea. A lovely treat, could have been at the "Ritz". Miniature cakes and delicate sandwiches all delicious, a good variety to suit all tastes. A range of speciality teas to choose from served in china cups makes a welcome change from the norm. Children's corner to keep the little one's happy. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent service for any occasion or a indeed a special occasion. Thanks for a lovey time.

There is always a good selection of cakes and buns. Tea is proper tea served in a teapot with a selection of loose leaf teas. This is a great place to take younger children as there is a good selection of toys, books and games to keep them occupied, they even have bouncy castles outside on a Monday in the 6 weeks hols.

A fab place to meet friends and family, or to just take five. Great kids area with toys and books. A delicious selection of tasty panini's and the most amazing home made cakes

Never knew this place existed as mainly visit cafes in Sheffield - however I shall most definitely revisit The Snug! The food was lovely, and prices are similar to most other cafes...but The Snug scores very highly on service. They responded helpfully to varying requests from a party whose ages ranged from 1 to 75 and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. A pot of tea was served in a beautiful flowered teapot which delighted the 75 year old and the cakes were excellent. There are toys for the children and the entire place is very pretty and immaculately clean. And there is air conditioning which, on a very very hot day like today, was wonderful!

Lovely little coffee shop that is great for those with young children and buggys. Most other coffee shops in the area don't have space to take a buggy in or anything to entertain the kids while you have a coffee, this one does. Beautifully decorated and clean and this extends to the toilet and baby changing facilities.

Great little café. Good location for what is essentially the centre of Dronfield Woodhouse. Lovely decor, friendly service. No complaints
