The Village Kitchen in High Peak

An excellent place to eat and very good service. I recommend the homemade pie of the day.

Fabulous food. Home made. Certainly not small portions. Always enjoy it.

We have tried to visit this lovely café a couple of time's but it has always been busy so I highly recommend booking which we finally did for our visit. It isn't overly big on the inside & can seat around 12 people, however they do have out door seating which in the summer / warmer months I think would be lovely. The toilets are located downstairs but these may be accessible by using the ramp / road at the side of the building as I did see a fire door at the bottom of the stairs next to the toilet? During our visit we ordered the soup of the day, the hot beef sandwich with onion gravy & a bowl of chips. The soup came with loads of bread & butter which is fantastic as some places you can find to very tight with bread. The hot beef sandwich was made with decent quality beef & was also a very good size. The chips were also very good quality & a good portion (the bowl was full of chips not just paper at the bottom to make it look fuller)!! Before we left we ordered some cakes to take home. We ordered a cornflake tart, chocolate brownie, lemon drizzle & Bakewell tart all were which as you guessed it a good size. The price was very reasonable & it was great to actually leave a café feeling full for change. We will certainly be booking in & visiting again.

Excellent food. Had a beef veggie pie and it was scrumptious, gravy is great and I am not a fan of gravy but this one. Enjoyed. Interior is not great but it is typical for The British infrastructure.

I absolutely love coming here. The staff, and food is excellent and will adapt any meal for any dietary needs 😋

Had great sausage and egg muffin today. Would recommend.

The Village Kitchen provides great food at a very reasonable price. We have been regular visitors for Breakfast and Lunch .We particularly enjoy the freshly cooked breakfast -made with local produce . All the delicious pies and cakes are made in-house by the happy family team and the establishment is popular with locals and visitors alike.

Customer service was excellent. Reasonably priced jand delicious food

My wife and I have just had breakfast here, and we’re glad we did! Staff were very friendly and the food was of a high standard. I had bacon and egg on toast and my wife had a full English, which, unusually she didn’t manage to finish as there was too much! Very reasonably priced, highly recommended!

Friendly good value cafe with lovely outdoor area. Good selection of breakfasts, light lunches and cakes. Clearly popular with locals

Nice relaxing place to eat Food fresh cooked and delicious

We arrived just before closing on sunday 4th August 2024. We were made very welcome, the ladies serving were polite and friendly, the food was excellent. This was a spur of the moment run out as it was our 51st anniversary, so enjoyable, thank you, June and Dave 😊

Had the falafel and cashew salad and it was fabulous. A massive plateful with loads of tasty colourful ingredients - lots of avocado, red onion, peppers etc, and warm flatbread to go with it. Sat in the sun, lovely staff, nice surroundings. And great value.

I was so sorry we found this after we got a sandwich from the co-op so tomorrow I’ll be setting off on my bike to get one of their cream scones because they look fantastic as it was. We tried on flapjacks and it was the best flapjack I’ve ever had.

Great cafe in Whaley Bridge. Good selection . Excellent service and good portion size. Outdoor seating available too.

Had a coffee. Nice coffee and friendly staff. 👍👍👍👍👍

Friendly pleasant cafe with generous portions. Good variety of food. But they need to clean more thoroughly. The decking to the rear looked as though it hadn't been swept for weeks. And no, I am not fussy.

There was nothing to dislike everything was great highly recommended 👌

Popped in after walking by and seeing the fattest brownies for £3 and they're definitely worth it, amazing and extremely tasty. Will definitely be back for the rocky road! Friendly staff and plenty of seating available if need be , right next to the train station so good for a snack 😋🥨

Fantastic value vegetarian breakfast, everything was cooked to perfection.A great cuppa too. Lovely, friendly staff. There looks to be a lovely terrace out the back which is perfect if you have a dog. Highly recommended if you're around Whaley Bridge.

Excellent friendly service. Quite a small place, but lively and cheerful. Snacks served were absolutely great. There was a problem with the coffee machine, so we were served up an alternative instant coffee at NO CHARGE. Can't fault their customer relations. We'll be back. And here we are, back again. Unbelievably, more than a year has passed due to Global circumstances. Delighted to find this place recently re-opened, and every bit as friendly and welcoming as before. Delicious food and very reasonable prices, and every effort made to cope with the Covid-imposed regulations currently in force. A second 5-star review from us. We are now regular visitors, and always find the same excellent standards.

Had a lovely raspberry cheesecake delicious and a cappuccino. Cakes on display looked lovely. Visiting in October Whaley Bridge look forward to trying their full English breakfast.

The staff are welcoming, friendly, organised and efficient. The food is amazing too. We enjoyed the leek and potato soup with a sandwich. I had egg mayo and salad, the sandwich was bursting with flavour. There’s an attention to detail and generosity here that makes this place a cut above. Step in if you get a chance, you’ll be richly rewarded.

Popped in for a brew and a wrap. Nice and clean place with friendly welcoming staff. I’d urge visitors to try this one out rather than the other on the high street

What is not to like here? Great food and fast service. Wide range of homely classics at very competitive prices. The "full English" is a popular choice here and will set you up for the day.

We had three full English breakfasts and smashed avocado with egg,it was delicious,they obviously use the best ingredients and actually care about it being cooked to perfection,the staff are lovely,as were two lady customers who graciously offered to move tables, so my family could sit together, well worth a visit.

Great little cafe, wholesome and healthy food. Imaginative menus.

Popped in yesterday with my cousin's and newborn son, but have been many times.Absolutely love the village kitchen. The food is always gorgeous! Highly recommend the "farmer oatcake" and the pancakes! Brian, Wendy and Sharon have created a wonderful business in the heart of Whaley. They are always so friendly and welcoming. All the staff that work there are lovely. The cafe is always spotless, and the service is always spot on. The cakes are just incredible and such a variety! Everything about the Village kitchen is 5 stars! And a big thank you to the lovely waitress who ran after me with my son's sock that had fallen off in the cafe! You are a star!

Stumbled across this little cafe when visiting Whaley Bridge. Extremely friendly staff, excellent food, and fantastic service. Dog friendly too (on the rear terrace). You'll struggle to find anything better in town.

This was my first visit to the Village Kitchen and I was not disappointed. Friendly welcome, fast, friendly service and a lovely outdoor seating area on decking at the back. Perfect on a sunny day. Lovely food at a reasonable price. Quiche is excellent and my wife knows! The cakes have to be seen to be believed. All food cooked on the premises

What a lovely café food delicious 😋 staff inviting and warm . So happy to of found a place to eat. Will be back soon ! Thanks.

Had plenty of full English breakfast in my life so i know what i like and how i like it. This one was served in well and respectable manner. What's important for me and i hopefully others as well that staff was wearing face masks / face protection. Sadly you don't see that I'm many public serving food. Also what like too is the fact that on each table was small sanitiser. Well done! But moaning aside lets focus on food. And there a lot good to say about it. Starting with latte which is the best regular size i had ever. Everywhere. Also serving in glasses rather than mugs is always welcome. Maybe, just maybe bit to weak. And i know what proportions for latte should be. Maybe changing coffee strength imo ? Other than that was perfect. Food! That's why we here. It was great. Starting with sausage, which either was something more than just cheapest available ( like 50p in Tesco?) or from butchers. It was nice, meaty with hint of apples ? And size of it too. That's for people whom saying that size doesn't matter. Flipping does here! :) And there's beans which also isn't anything cheap and that its got great taste. Hash brown and toasts where well made and couldn't be happier with them. Last but not the least was egg. Regardless of the fact that i like thing organised and sorted in my own way i love the irregularity of egg. Had to many to perfect looking eggs with FEB just to realised they awful in taste. This one looks like full range, yolk was almost orange in colour ... even now i can feel every one of the flavours on my plate. This is how good it was. Was siting outside, and i have to say that during the winter time or colder days it's got to be amazing to sit there, drinking something hot while waiting for you food. Complains ? Just one, minor one. When i was going to use pepper there was almost none. Had to get one from another table where it was running low too. But you cant have everything. Had a day off so decided to walk around Whalley Bridge. Originally was planning to go to different place but TVK as the only one had space to eat. And let me tell you this is the place you have to visit.

Lovely food and dog-friendly, thank you!

Great breakfast, nice staff. Got busy quite quickly.

Recently taken over by new owners, food and service were both very good. Lovely setting and ambience.

What a gem! Arrived 20 minutes before closing team to be greeted and seated with a warm welcome. A delicious homemade pie and chips, with the perfect balance of cheeses. Which is often not the case as many pies are too cheesy. Lovely staff too. Will certainly be back next time we're in the area. And I suggest any hungry walkers do the sams.

Spot on food here and outside seating too

Made very welcome, friendly service and excellent foodp

We went today on a friend's recommendation, we had a full breakfast each, mine was a veggie breakfast, can only say both were excellent, well presented and the nicest I've ever had, i took a cheesecake home too! The staff were lovely, god knows how someone on here left a review saying it was a greasy spoon, far from it and that it wasn't a place for mums to meet (thankfully, don't want to listen to a herd of woman babbling about their kids, zzzzzz) We will definitely be returning to the best cafe around !

Went in for coffee & the smell was so inviting we had a breakfast each. The best breakfast I’ve ever eaten. Staff are friendly and welcoming and had no problem swapping my beans for black pudding. The other half had the vegetarian breakfast and thought it was delicious and the best she’s had too. Nothing like your normal average cafe just outstanding in every way. And don’t get me started about the homemade cake’s…they’re to die for. Will I be back…yes regularly now we’ve found you & would recommend to everyone I know.

Just love it here, literally no complaints at all EVER! We have been so many times for pancakes, Sunday lunch, baguettes, oatcakes and cakes. Cakes are delicious especially the cheesecake and the food portions are amazing and you can take what you didn't eat home. Staff are always so friendly even when they are rushed off their feet and so pleasant with my children.

Fantastic food and friendly service, as always. The English breakfast is the best anywhere.

Outstanding home cooked food. Highly recommend

Morning coffee in a busy local cafe. Started outside but were able to move in fairly quickly! Very tasty huge slices of cake, very friendly. My Bakewell tart was delicious. All cakes made on site

Excellent cooked breakfast. Super tasty and generous portions. I will definitely be back to try more oatcakes and the epic looking cakes 😋

Friendly service good food relaxed atmosphere 😁

Delicious breakfast, perfectly cooked, friendly service.

Great cafe, well run, great service Staff and prices. Well worth a visit.

Superb food and plenty of it, would definitely recommend

Lovely little cafe. Not that big inside although we had no issues with seating and there is plenty of outside space available. The staff/owners were very pleasant and the service was great. The food came quickly and was very nice. Also very reasonable. Our cycling club will be back I'm sure the next time we are passing

Nice little place for a snack , stairs are steep for the loo especially if not to good on walking, food good staff very nice .

Love everything about this place, the ladies that work here, the food is amazing and at a great price. I'm walking out of here today with a massive stash of epic cakes. 😁

Called in yesterday, 2nd Jan 2023 for a snack following a walk along the canal. Friendly staff, good value food and very tasty coffee. We will certainly return

Best breakfast for miles around!

Lovely local cafe with delicious food and a warm welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

Great value lovely staff best coffee in the area

I love this place. The staff are welcoming and friendly, service is efficient and the food is absolutely delicious every time. There’s a beautiful outside space to eat in too.

Just called in for a coffee.... really good

Nice staff, good food and quick service

Make sure you are hungry when you go as portions are very hearty and also very very tasty! Great food, great drinks, great service. The quiche and pie of the day are highly recommended. A must visit if you are in whaley bridge for lunch.

Enjoyed my brunch, pleasant staff and smart interior. Anonymous front aspect and easy to miss.

Fantastic food, fairly priced. Really friendly. Dog friendly (outside seating), even brought our dog a little bowl of meat cut offs. Would defiitely return.

Fantastic coffee shop lovely food lovely atmosphere highly recommend 👌

What a lovely place to have lunch, friendly staff, tasty and well prepared meals, from 2 very satisfied coach drivers from Easton’s Holidays Norfolk

Amazing cake selection made hy them self cant fault the food excellent too

If you’re in the area make sure you eat here. The food is fantastic and the staff friendly and warm. It’s great value and you’ll want to come back. Don’t miss it

AWESOME. Lovely staff and cakes etc are just the best ever. Very reasonable prices as well. Would leave 10 stars!

Lovely food and friendly staff. I'm normally good and avoid cakes but not today!! Yummy yummy. 😋 The caramel cheesecake was delicious as were the scones. Hubby and i shared some of each. In all honesty we should have just shared one. 😂 Thanks for keeping the calories there for us 😉

Great food. Lovely staff. Daily specials. Fabulous outdoor seating areas on a nice day

Excellent food, very generous portions at a cost that is very easy to swallow. I real find that I will be returning to soon!

Best homemade cheesepie I've ever had. Staff are amazing. Can't wait to come back and try those homemade cakes

…. Gary Wilmot’s wedding. Was ruddy superb. Great breakfast. Excellent value for money. Speedy service. nice surroundings. Cheerful staff. Didn’t eat the cakes but they really looked amazing. Will defo be back.

Absolutely amazing breakfast and very friendly staff

Little hidden gem, sat out in the garden next to the river with our dog, Mince beef and onion pie meal was delicious massive portion, chef even brought us some roast beef for our dog. Love the place.

Had a ploughman's and pancake's here today absolutely fantastic great value in fact too much food but the staff gave us a doggy bag. Very friendly. Couldn't recommend it enough. Thank you

Absolutely amazing breakfast. Couldn’t leave without buying scones and cakes too.

Lovely trip. Food excellent, staff lovely, they even brought a sausage each for the dogs. I would highly recommend, especially given how reasonable the price was

Very friendly family run cafe with homemade custard cake I dream about! Great sandwiches too, very good value.

Friendly staff and nice coffee, however, scone (with jam and cream) was extremely dry and toilet facilities were unacceptable. We left most of the scone and were not asked if everything was okay when settling the bill.

I keep coming back to this place. The reason? The most amazing Derbyshire Oatcakes you will ever taste! I'm a big guy but a small portion is all I need. Beautiful freshly cooked sausage with cheese and an onion relish. There is something for everyone on the menu though including home baked cakes. The cafe itself has a lovely family feel to it and the background music is usually 50/60 American style. Indoor or outdoor seating, dogs welcome. The staff are always warm and welcoming. A real gem in Whaley.

Nice veggie breakfast and huge cakes! Not stingy with the portions, you won't leave hungry but you might just have to take a cake away so you don't miss out 😄 Nice big outdoor area round the back makes it easier to take/fit in bikes and prams.

Excellent value for money, huge portions and well worth every penny, friendly staff, value for money, high recommend this little gem.

Visited here after a family walk and was not disappointed, portion sizes were large and very good value for money, friendly staff and hopefully will be revisiting.

Friendly welcome on arrival. Order taken and food promptly arrived. Our party were very pleased with the quality and quantity. I would certainly recommend.

Fantastic feed for a hungry bunch! Top service, great food, wonderful spot!!

Fantastic, tasty food and good sized portions. The staff are very attentive and friendly with the whole experience being great value for money. This place is a little gem…always a winner when we eat here. Easily 5 stars but would give more if I could!! The home baked cakes are just wow….

What a gem of a place!! Just happened upon this stunning little eatery!!! Special treats for Ernie (our dog) and all the dogs in the courtyard, little pieces of sausage FOC thank you! As for the food, lovely tasty (big big portion ls too) food. The menu is just what you would want from a little place like this!! We will be back, 5 stars!!! Well deserved thank you!! Sorry photo not the best!!

We arrived for a late lunch on a warm sunny afternoon for our last day in Whaley Bridge. Food service was ending but one of the owners kindly squeezed us in and we had one of the best home cooked meals I have ever had...

My husband Discovered this gem of a place by accident on line. We live 16+ miles away, and had to take 3 buses. We decided to try the cafe as reviews ,pics etc all seemed very positive. We both have mobility issues so with the help of google maps knew how far from bus stop etc . As you enter you are meet with the cake display WOW !. Seating is available inside and out , we were in luck and got an inside table. Staff very efficient,friendly and patient. Very clean and tidy. Menu is quite extensive, my husband had hot roast beef and gravy on a roll Proper slices of roast beef no skimmping either. I had hot crispy chicken wrap we also had side of chips. The wrap was fantastic fresh salad 3 large crispy chicken pieces wonderfull. The cappuchino were lovely too. I also ordered to take away a ploughmans lunch Faultless quality. Excellant Value for Money. Will definately be visiting again Many thanks for a very enjoyable meal. The Whites.

Good choice of homemade foods . Freshly cooked and pleasantly served.

Great food and friendly service.

Lovely meal at The Village kitchen. Very tasty and reasonably priced.

What a find! Lovely, friendly staff and exquisite pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup. Coffee was delicious (so my husband said) and he loved his toasted teacake. Well worth a visit.

Blink and you will miss it. Absolute hidden gem. The kind of food your cooking loving nanny would make. Cartoon sized slices of cake and treats. I had the home made quiche. Wow. You could have shared it. Its tasted amazing. The Mrs couldn't finish her BLT. On proper bread with bacon you could have lagged your hot water cylinder with it was that thick. Loved it. Coffee was served in proper mugs. Not thimbles like you get at other places. Great value for money. Staff were friendly, polite and jolly .i will definitely be going back!

Biggest slice of cake you will ever get in a cafe

Always friendly. Dogs love there sausages, we love our breakfast never disappointed

My daughter and I had the oatcakes. Ham and bacon respectively. Absolutely lovely and plenty of it. Nice salad with it. Great hot chocolate too. 10 out of 10.

Well today we went to the kitchen,I had the best mince beef and onion pie I have ever eaten, the staff were brilliant, I will be back, thank you so much you were all lovely

Lovely cafe with great food and drinks. Outdoor seating making it accessible to dog walkers and bike riders. Best cafe in Whaley

I go here on a Friday morning when I can for a little treat. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. My go to are the pancakes ❤️
