Tilly's Of Castleton in High Peak

Great coffee, and all day breakfast. Cosy ambience and excellent service. just what I needed after a blustery morning on the hills. Highly recommend.

The breakfast was positively divine. Hats off to the chef he cooked my all day breakfast to perfection. All the staff are a delight and are always at hand. The chefs quite fit too 😉

Great place to eat, lovely staff too

A beautifully quaint tea room with a good selection of food and drinks. They serve proper tea, which is such a refreshing change from tea bags, which is very good. We both had the Welsh rarebit with ham, which was served on seeded bloomer toasted, with a side salad, and it was delicious. The prices are very reasonable and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient.

We werden vriendelijk ontvangen, maar dat was het ook wel. Nadat we een drankje en de soep van de dag besteld hadden, keek het personeel niet meer naar ons op of om. De soep, een tomaten soep, was verder prima te eten. Echter stond het personeel met 4 personen in de zaak, wij waren op dat moment de enige twee personen/klanten in de zaak. Het personeel was vooral bezig met hangen achter de toonbank en zaken met elkaar bespreken. Kortom ongeschikt op het gebied van gastvrijheid. Erg jammer want vooral vanaf de buitenkant doet deze zaak echt erg sfeervol aan

Lovely leaf tea, super comfy seats, open past 4pm and very friendly. Highly

Breakfast is fabulous came here twice. The posh porridge with cranberries and honey absolutely delicious we were asked if we wanted extra hot milk with it which was a nice touch. So good we came back the 2nd day and had a full English which was equally as good. Very tasty sausage and bacon. Great staff very friendly and attentive. Will definitely back when visiting Castleton again.

Lovely place with very nice staff. Coffee and walnut cake was really good.

Just one word GREAT. Just one minor gripe hence a little drop in the food stars, black pudding was wafer thin. I actually went back later in the day to give a tip as I hadn't got any change at the time.

Never had a bad visit to Tilly’s. Food and drink is always fresh and delicious, from the coffee and cakes up to the Full English. Family friendly atmosphere with a very pleasant customer focussed approach, nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend highly!

Ordered 2 full breakfasts..to be fair it was the worst breakfast ever..the local sausage i couldnt even put the fork into it as it was rock solid. wont be coming back!!

We had a breakfast and a BLT. After a 45 minute wait, food disappointing. Bacon overdone Egg underdone. Food very very average. Coffee okay but £4 for a cappuccino! I won’t visit again. Save you money and time.

Called on a busy Saturday just after noon and was fortunate enough to have a pick of tables. Faur prices and excellent food with service to match. Had all day brekky and a lasagne- with highly recommended

Had a late breakfast here today after a walk in the peak district with a friend and my two dogs. Staff were friendly & hospitable, the food was superb and very reasonably priced. Exactly what we needed after a long walk. Will definitely re-visit next time i'm in the area and would definitely recommend to anybody passing through Castleton.

Been to this lovely tearoom three times and every time the service is friendly and welcoming. The tea is delicious with lots of choice. My eldest daughter loves visiting here as a tea lover. Cakes are yummy too

Disappointed with this, We waited around 45 minutes for 3 afternoon teas (we have drank our cups of tea and coffee within the wait) thinking it was because things were being made with care and fresh but the cakes were dry and sandwiches had been rushed. We had not been checked on once, and when we had the afternoon tea, it came with ham sandwiches where the bread was not buttered but good quality ham, cheese sandwiches (we asked for no chutney) but they were wedges of cheese which looked hacked off and were really thick slices which looked like it was hacked off a block of cheese, the tuna sandwiches were nice and the egg ones but the cake was very dry (Lemon Cake and Chocolate Cake) and the scone was tasty. The 1 cheese sandwich had a little bit of hair in, as we had been waiting 45 minutes we didn't complain because we were a bit tired from sitting waiting around and were wanting to just eat and get out to be honest.

This is our second visit. Both lovely, but I can't remember if I reviewed it last time, so apologies if I'm repeating myself. My wife and I had the Full English, me with added black pud. Tea for herself, latte for me. The drinks came promptly. A nice lot of tea, with an extra pot of hot water. The latte was excellent. Not insipid, as in some restaurants. Now, the very nice lady in charge came over to say that chef was missing, so extra staff were helping out in the kitchen. A bit of a delay. No problem for us, but you worry that standards might slip. I need not have worried. When the brekkies came, after 20 minutes as predicted, they were perfect. All beautifully cooked. The stand-in staff were brilliant. The lovely lady came to give our dog a biccie, which was nice of her. Tilly's is a place to go for excellent quality food, served charmingly but without grovelling servility, which I hate, in a lovely environment. I cannot speak more highly.

I recently passed though Castleton travelling on public transport from Manchester. I had one hour 30 minutes in Castleton before my next bus but had a 10 minute stroll before deciding to refuel before doing any more exploring. I went into Tilly's tea rooms. and was given a table. Before anything else I had to 'pay a visit'. So I used up another 5 minutes of my time. It was another 5 minutes before I caught anybody's eye and then gave my order, simply a pot of tea and a toasted sandwich. However simple the order was, it took more than 40 minutes to arrive. This was only after going to the counter to ask about the delay. This left me just over 30 minutes to eat my sandwich, drink my tea and head to the bus station. Possibly because the staff were now rushing to complete the order, the sandwich was very lightly toasted on one side and just 'warmed' on the other. Needless to say I was unable to see much more of Castleton. Most of the staff were pleasant enough but clearly the kitchen systems need an overhaul.

I can't fault this cafe for the food and staff very friendly, but the slowness of the wait for the food is painful!. If you don't mind a 45min plus wait and not in a hurry then it's fine. We visited this cafe a few months ago and the service for our meals was very slow then. It's no good blaming on how busy it is, when we were there last time it wasn't overly busy and still had a long wait for our food to come out!.

I was served by Sharon, she was amazing. Super helpful, so knowledgeable of the food there. She made me a lovely coffee. Look forward to coming back!

A small tea room, so quite cosy but more seating upstairs, I believe. A nice selection of different teas and coffee. There were a few mistakes with our orders, but they were apologetic and offered to correct their mistake.

The best afternoon tea I have ever had - the different breads were amazing the fillings super tasty and the scone ….. yum ! Would definitely recommend ❤️

Delightful little place, with lovely cake selection!

We visited for lunch knowing we only had 50 mins before we had to leave and catch the bus. The coffee arrived in good time and was really nice. The sandwich that we ordered arrived 40 mins after and by that time we didn't have time to eat it. We had to make a dash for the bus so we took it on the go. It wasn't at all worth the money we paid and came with a very plain salad. Rather disappointed with the whole experience.

Visited today for lunch. Absolutely gorgeous meal. Tuna and cheese toastie with a massive side salad and a ham salad full of variety and a shared bowl of chips. Even though very full the cakes looked so tempting so had the salted caramel to share which was delicious. Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff - will be back. Thank you 😘 v xxx

Tuesday 21st May 2024 “I was so impressed with my breakfast this morning! I tried the full English breakfast and my friend got the eggs Benedict. Compliments to the chef. We both finished our whole plates and were so impressed with the quality of the food and the short amount of time it took to receive . I will definitely be back!”

Exceptional service and amazing food, I came with my family and we all had an incredible lunch! I had the eggs royale which had a very generous serving of salmon with it. The coffee was also very good and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

£15.75 for this...take from that what you will. Certainly gone downhill recently!! Bread was hard as we waited 45 minutes for it, looks thrown together without the side salad that's advertised to come with it? Only given it 2 stars because previous experiences have been better. No apology for how long the food took, to then get home to open the box and be greeted with this! If I'd have still been in the cafe I'd have asked for a refund!

Everything you could have asked for, the perfect example of a country vallage tea room, the all day breakfast was so tasty the coffee just brilliant. Will certainly go again

Popped in on the off chance Can't fault the breakfast I had The service and atmosphere was lovely too Would definitely go back and would recommend

Excellent full English breakfast after a walk in the hills. Good selection of teas and welcoming staff.

Had breakfast twice while staying in Castleton .. Lovely food + staff 😊

Delicious breakfast. One small criticism though, the beans were a nice temperature but because they were lukewarm, they cool down very quick. I'd rather have the beans piping hot so they stay at a decent temperature until you're finished your breakfast. Other than that very minor issue, the beans were good quality, delicious quality pork sausage, bacon cooked to perfection, quality tomatoes, nice and sweet with a nice bit of charring on top and they had these really tasty tater tot type things that were crispy and delicious. Very friendly and welcoming gentleman who I guess owns the place and friendly, attentive staff.

Lovely cosy cafe friendly. food excellent jacket potatoes for myself and husband both excellent extra water came without having to ask with our tea every thing we ordered had that little bit more care . Friendly staff even sorted my husband out with change to add more parking too. held our meal till he got back to enjoy in peace thank you all

This cafe is a gem of a place food is fantastic and staff are so helpful and polite we always visit here when we go to castleton

Great place for a late breakfast. Food was excellent.

Another visit to sample the renowned All Day English Breakfast which was as good as we remembered. Everything was just that bit more special, even the loose leaf tea! The puddings were delicious and the advice to have the Bakewell tart warmed and served with custard was the right thing to do. Perfect. Would highly recommend a visit. Book in advance via Facebook/ messenger.

You’ll need to be in the know and book although website doesn’t say you can I did look. We missed the small ‘full’ sign, went in and sat at the one tiny (it’s a small place) table for 2 that didn’t have ‘reserved’ on and promptly unceremoniously were asked to leave as they wanted that table to join on to another for a later booking although we could stay only for a very quick drink if we hurried up. Nice!

A real delight and a great place to spend an hour or so in a relaxed environment enjoying excellently produced and perfectly delivered food and drinks. We had 3 full english breakfasts, 3 hto drinks and 3 wonderful desserts and still had change out of £60, which I think is pretty good value given the very high quality of the food and the service with a smile. All the drinks and cakes came with little wrapped chocolate bars, which was an extra special treat. There is even free WiFi as a bonus. We had booked in advance using Facebook messenger to ensure a table, and chose to sit upstairs at the rear where it was quieter and further away from road noise and staring passing tourists. Will definitely visit again. Thanks to all the staff at Tilly's of Castleton.

Went here this morning for breakfast before our hike and definitely recommend it. The staff were lovely and the food was also great. It’s dog friendly and very cosy inside.

Absolutely amazing food me and my other half enjoyed the food , top quality ingredients the staff were superstars and very friendly and welcoming, I’m glad I took a walk up from the coach park and will 100 percent recommend Tilly’s to all my future coach passengers anytime I’m here with a group in Castleton 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was service with a smile, food was lovely, couldn’t ask for more. We had a full English breakfast. Thanks

just came with my friend for lunch, had an all day english breakfast and can honestly say it was the best i’ve ever had. Came out super fast and staff were super friendly and kind :) Definitely recommend!

A lovely place to rest after a hike up to Mam Tor, Lose Hill etc. We had a really lovely cheese on toast, a couple of coffees and soft drinks. Very clean, great service, close proximity to car park.

Tilley’s of Castleton is a true gem, offering a delightful escape in the midst of nowhere. I was grateful to find this establishment open at 9 am when no other options were available. Opting for a veg burger, garlic bread, hot chocolate, chocolate milkshake and British tea, I was thoroughly impressed with every dish. The veg burger was flavorful, the garlic breads perfectly toasted, and the hot chocolate indulgently rich. Trying British tea for the first time was a memorable experience, with its exquisite flavor leaving a lasting impression. The ambiance of Tilley’s is simply lovely, with meticulous attention to detail evident even in the restroom facilities. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kind, adding to the overall warmth of the experience. A visit to Tilley’s of Castleton is an absolute must for anyone seeking a delightful dining experience accompanied by top-notch service.

I had a full breakfast but had to pay £1 extra to have a) my eggs a different way, b) an extra egg and c) black pudding. Would be better to have a free choice of how to have your eggs & then a choice of large or small breakfast instead of having add ons. Lovely food though.

Best breakfast so far on a 5 week campervan tour around the UK. Best sausages we have had. 2 full English breakfasts, 1extra sausage, 2 coffees, 1 tea £29.75

Just popped in for a drink and snack . Very pleasant staff .and helpful Highly recommend this place . Nice clean premises.

Amazing food and friendly staff.

Delicious full English breakfast for my wife and veggie breakfast for me (plus a few dog treats for our miniature schnauzer Shelby). Perfect place to enjoy breakfast while it rained outside. Recommended!!

Enjoyed a light snack and drinks here today. Food all freshly prepared and cooked so it was hot and tasty. Good service and friendly staff. It was busy so clearly popular.

Lovely dog friendly cafe on a grey January afternoon. Very friendly staff & lovely atmosphere, ended up chatting to other customers. Food excellent and plentiful. Will visit again when in castleton.

Looking for a cafe for lunch in Castleton, at lunch time!! Tilly's had really good reviews, we are fairly local but had not tried any cafe's in castleton. We where very pleased, loverly food, good prices and loverly staff. Will be back.

Fantastic tea room and amazing breakfast. Spotless facilities and lovely staff. I haven’t tried the cakes yet - but I will!. Highly recommend.

This is really amazing! I came here to enjoy the cake an hour before work. Bakewell cake is very suitable for me as a sweet food lover. The clerks are very warm-hearted. I like it very much. I hope you can come here before going to work to enjoy a quiet breakfast time.

I tried Tilly's when it opened according to Google and waited 5/10 mins after but for some reason they opened late and didn't mention why. However I returned again later and was happy with my visit. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Very tasty and the staff were extremely friendly. Bathroom was very clean too. Would return in the future, but hopefully the times are accurate going forward!

Toffee & ginger cake was fab lovely atmosphere great coffee too

A lovely café with charming, efficient staff. Comfortable and well laid out. Busy, and we were warned there might be a wait, but our two veggie breakfasts turned up soon after our drinks. They were well worth the short wait. The food was top quality, the quantity was just right for us. The boss, a charming lady, was very pleasant and was lovely with our little terrier. I must confess our normal café in Castleton was closed for maintenance, otherwise we wouldn't have gone to Tilly's, but it is now our new favourite Castleton café. I'm sure it will continue to be successful.

This tearooms is the jewel of Castleton! The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had! Very quick service and extremely friendly staff. Thank you!

Popped in twice over two days for drinks after walks around Castleton and despite being local have still not tried any of the other cafes. Staff friendly as usual and warm scone with cream great. Would recommend although did notice that some people were getting disgruntled waiting for their food on one of the days.

Family lunch for 4. Three pies and one Lasagne. Local bottled beer, wine and soft drinks. Coffees and deserts. All perfect and served with a smile. A great place to eat, we will be back. Thank you.

Rubbish. 14 pounds and a 40 minute wait for a sausage and egg sandwich. People got served before us too. When asked why the wait I was told theres only one chef (so get over it). I wont be bothering again.

Really great experience! They were kind enough to hold a table for us while we popped to the info centre as well. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious - I tried their hot chocolate and jam and cream scone. It was a generous portion and very tasty. I'd highly recommend a visit :)

The coffee here definitely needs some improvement. Very burnt milk and tasteless. Would be great otherwise

We came here for lunch as a party of six. Seems like we didn't play to their strengths - we were hidden away and after we ordered a range of dishes it took about half an hour for our food to arrive. When it came the lunch dishes were nothing special. From reviews it seems like this is a better option for tea and cakes for 1-2, but larger parties looking for a full lunch meal should try elsewhere.

Popped in for some coffee and cake. First time in the town for us. Was seated even though it was approaching closing time. Service was prompt. Nice little english tea house. would recommend.

Food served on cold plate, food cold and not enjoyable for at least three quarters of it, gone downhill lately I'm afraid.

Stumbled in on a chilly morning after an unpleasant hike in the rain No music present in the cafe and young boy working seamed new and unsure. Coffee was lovely and the sausage and egg breakfast rolls were to die for! Cooked perfect and topped off the morning

Best place to go in the hope Valley for a full English breakfast

Perfect place for a quick pit stop after a morning hike in the peaks

We had the most beautiful English breakfast, the owners were so welcoming, food was delicious cooked perfectly and fresh. We would absolutely recommend a visit here.

Still the best place for breakfast in The Peaks, and I’ve tried them all! Breakfast is wonderful, sausages and bacon are clearly locally sourced and high quality, this is quite simply as good as a full English can be. Staff are always welcoming and friendly, restaurant is always spotlessly clean and tidy. I’m a fussy so and so and can usually find something that could be better but not at Tilly’s. I made the mistake of trying the Pool Cafe in Hathersage yesterday and it was awful on every level, I left a review for that too! I can’t recommend Tilly’s enough, you won’t be disappointed.

Popped in after doing the cave dale circular walk. I am a fan of scones and the fruit scone (with 🍒) was fantastico. So annoyingly the warmed up tasty treat was half devoured by my better half 🤔 Earl grey tea very good as well So like other reviews we woz impressed and staff also very friendly 👍

Lovely place very well set out with beautiful chandeliers too. We had a Gorgeous Tilly’s full English breakfast cooked to perfection! My French boyfriend who is a coffee connoisseur said the coffee was superb! I’d definitely recommend this place.

Today was a miserable one in Castleton.I stumbled through the door of Tillys Tearooms to a warm welcome. My mission was to get my coffee fix and get out of my home on wheels for a while. Having been in the catering industry myself I instantly recognised the high calibre of the staff and I immediately fell into conversation with the very articulate and jovial owner. It is always a pleasure to meet like minded people. The establishment has a really calm and positive feel, not least because of the large windows that offers not only light but a connection to the street outside. In fact its one of those places that gives you a lift and raises your vibration. There is an extensive menu and I would thoroughly recommend Tillys to most visitors to the village.

Lovely little cafe! We camped not too far away, and found this place open on a Sunday morning. Ever so lovely and welcoming staff, who we're very accommodating to my awkward take out order. They were rushed off their feet, but didn't slack on their service. Food is amazing too.. was definitely cooked with some love. Now fueled and ready for our walk. Thank you again!

Fantastic menu, lots to choose from for children and adults. Very comfortable, friendly, value for money and delicious. Will definitely be back.

Excellent friendly service complimented the amazing cakes and coffee, the Halloween decorations made it a little more special.

Nice cozy café with fantastic cakes and lovely coffee. The carrot cake was huge!

We visited Tilly's three times during our five days in Castleton. After our first visit we knew we wanted to go back to a delightful cafe which combines excellent food, dog-friendliness for our five small dogs and a superb friendly welcome. The comfortable rooms and lovely staff make this a place you must visit when in Castleton!

Lovely, hearty full English before heading home after a weekend in the Peaks. Super friendly staff even at 9am on a Monday morning! Breakfast potatoes were 🤌delicious. Decent coffee and good value for money! Comfortable seating, nice atmosphere and decked out in Halloween decorations. Impressed to see some gluten and dairy free options on the daytime menu too.

Lovely place, excellent Welsh rarebit and hot chocolates! Brilliant.

Surprisingly welcoming and comfortable tea rooms in centre of Castleton. Excellent staff. We enjoyed very large flat white quality coffees and even larger blueberry muffin at the end of our morning hike! Really pleasant decor, furnishings and toilet.

Really tasty food! Very helpful staff with lots of gluten free options!

We stopped off for lunch at Tilly’s today, this was our first visit here! Staff were very welcoming on arrival, this is a very clean place, I loved the decor too! I opted for the toasted sandwich with salad, and ordered a side of coleslaw, everything was delicious! I was very impressed!!! I had a hot chocolate while waiting for my lunch, this could have been warmer. My partner had jacket potato, unfortunately he didn’t enjoy his meal so much as the jacket potato was microwaved with very little butter. He had a raspberry and white chocolate milkshake, this, he said was really lovely! However we aren’t ones to like to complain and we will definitely be back, there’s plenty of choices on the menu and this little gem of a place is right in the heart of beautiful Castleton!

Brilliant breakfast after walking down from Mam Tor. Served promptly, and food arrived quickly. Great local places as art on the walls, most impressive, is the Ladybower backdrop! All in all, it's a fantastic place x

Had the full English breakfast with a breakfast tea my hubby had the same breakfast with a cafeteria of coffee, meal was ok but only Luke warm this time which was a shame, they were very busy when we got there just about 9.30 and the waitress did explain there could be a 30 minute wait which we did not mind at all but was a shame the meal not so hot , may have been better if the plates had been hot like they usually are, not sure if I would return for a breakfast again which is a shame as enjoy them usually

After stopping overnight in beautiful Castleton we went here for breakfast. Did not book but got a window seat even though busy with more seating upstairs. Waitress friendly as she took our order in which I had the full English of sausage, 2 bacon, fried egg, tomato, mushrooms, breakfast potatoes, beans and toast all delicious and plentiful at £9.75.

We returned to this cafe for yet another delicious full English breakfast. Always great service and good value served with a smile

Just had a cracking lunch at Tilly’s and thoroughly recommend giving it a try. It’s far more than just a tea/coffee stop, we really liked it 10 out of 10

Our first visit to castleton and wanted somewhere to have breakfast. We have two dogs and wanted somewhere where dogs were welcome. Tillys welcomed dogs and the menu looked appetising. We had the full breakfast and a Latte. The meal came out and looked perfect ..It tasted as good as it looked. One of the best full breakfasts I've had in a while.

A lovely café offering a wide selection of cakes, breakfast and lunch options. Our coffee, chai latte and cake was delicious.

Nice surrounds, friendly staff and the food was lovely, however we’ve only given it 3 stars because we waited 40 mins for our food to arrive. However we would return.

We were at Tilly's for lunch as a group of 4. The service was painfully slow, but when the food arrived it was excellent. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and the cost was fair. However, in my experience, not a restaurant to visit if you're on a time schedule.

Visited mid week, so wasn’t over busy. Waited 50 minutes for a ploughman’s and chips. Checked after 30 minutes and told it was just being made. When the food arrived no apology for the wait, doesn’t cost anything to apologise for the wait. Wouldn’t visit again.

We have lunch at Tilly’s tearoom every year when we do our annual Mam Tor walk. I think our daughters were 8 the first time we visited and they’re now 14. The food is absolutely fantastic. Highlights include lasagna, baked potatoes with many different choices...

Prompt and very friendly service. Great food. Comfortable chairs , neat and clean. A really lovely little place well worth the visit.
