Tittesworth Water - Waterview Restaurant in Staffordshire Moorlands

Really nice building in what feels like a secluded spot food very good and a reasonable priced breakfast. Good coffee and delicious scones with jam and real cream.

Been for a walk, so I called in for a drink. Nice place to sit outside if the weather is good.

After walking around the reservoir, this is a good way of ending your walk(or starting it)

What a lovely place to get a drink and bite of food having walked round the reservoir. Only wanted a drink and piece of cake but other people's food looked great.

Lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Fantastic walk wonderful views 👍

Decent selection of cakes, hot and cold drinks etc (cafe food) Good friendly staff. Ideal break if visiting/walking round the reservoir

Lovely place with walking trails, picnic areas, food, kids park. Great family day out!

Lovely short walk today, have done the full reservoir walk with two young children bit it was tough.

Pleasant day out for a relax and chill.

This place is great for a walk but every time I have visited the cafe or visitors centre I don't really feel very welcome.

Brilliant absolutely gorgeous cannot fault it o ly complaints is I find the parking charge to high £3.50 for two hours you need more than 2 hours for this gorgeous place

Mint place for the kids and a lovely stroll, bit waspy but hey ho!

We just had coffee in the cafe, which was lovely, great views, over looking the Reservoir.

Lovely welcome by staff we were given informed on specials aswell as menu's. Beautiful food service great. Will be going again..shop in centre has changed a lot they now have little coffee shop for people with dogs 🐕 😀

Good food and choice of good coffees both in restaurant and cafe. Pictures views of reservoir and Country side

Great place was very windy so we left early as we were very cold but such a great place to go for a walk, a great place for kids and the family to enjoy

We found this place when once camping in leek we live one and a half hour away and like to drive up to spend the day here with our children. The restaurant is great although I did read a polite notice that had been up that they are closed for the next 6 to 8 weeks I believe. The surroundings are still worth visiting for. There are great nature walks surrounding, a park and also a hide out for nature watching. This place is great for the whole family. The nature walk has activities to do as you follow the paths. There are a number of public toilets very accessible to everyone and also hydration stations for everyone including pets.

As from 8th January 2024 the restaurant and indor toilets will be closed for a few weeks. There are alternatives on site. Check Web site.

Take away service, but very friendly staff

Great time spent here after a walk around the reservoir. Very friendly staff and fab food , thank you for a lovely afternoon where we weren't rushed and able to enjoy each others company, book us in for next Christmas meal.

Christmas dinner was very good nice and hot

Went to tittesworth reservoir cafe yesterday 2/12/23 and had the most amazing Christmas lunch with lovely staff wanting on it was well cooked and hot

Lovely cafe, great food at great value

Expensive car park. Assume its the 'captive audience' syndrome. Very naughty. 9Only paid for 2 hours but was enough to walk round reservoir.

Beautiful place to eat, prices very reasonable, all food and cakes freshly made daily on the premises.

Visit regularly, always satisfied with the food, excellent, friendly service.

The hot chocolate is so yummy and they offer food and ice cream too 😋

Went with my daughter in law & Granddaughter.Had toasted fruit bread & a lovely coffee.Service was excellent.Toilets were clean & a lovely walk around.Nice to see more activities for children outside.

Great place to stop in for lunch or just coffee and cake. Plenty of space for children to play and for dogs. Just be aware only assistance dogs are allowed in the restaurant area.

Went to the park this morning with my children, waited for the kiosk to open so they could have ice cream. It was late to open so we went into the visitors centre. My 6 year old daughter order an ice cream but it wasn’t placed on the cone well enough so it immediately hit the floor, the lady serving said she would get that, picked it up and threw it away and went on to serve the next person leaving a young girl without an ice cream she hadn’t even tasted. £3.10 wasted

Lovely place with some great walks and a very nice cafe. Only downside is you get ripped off to park your car £3 to £5 depending how long you stay. Luckily motorbikes are free 😊

A great place for a family outing, a good play area for the kids, you can go on a short or long walk then make use of the picnic area. One thing I will say is if you're not taking a picnic, take plenty of money for drinks and ice cream!.

Really great place to visit as it's veeb really looked after. It was clean and tidy with a small number of people visiting the centre. There was a small restaurant that has a very good food

We went on Tuesday and had such a lovely lunch , made to feel very welcome, will definitely be going back!

Great coffee and cakes in a beautiful spot

Went with a large group the staff were brilliant, service with smiles and patience. We was good and tasty. Just an excellent visit. The toilets were clean like everywhere in the centre. Fabulous view from the café of the reservoir.

Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient and were more than able to direct me to cake suitable for vegans. Our coffees were lovely and hot, with non-dairy alternative available. Tables were all clean and cleared when we arrived and it was lovely and warm inside on a bitterly cold day. The big glass windows afford a great view of the reservoir and an Oystercatcher knocking on the window made our day.

Good food. Great service. Really well done to all the team dealing with the half term rush.

Great for walk then to have some food.

Great food in lovely surroundings.

Curiously, this review has been requested after I stopped for a coffee after a walk around the reservoir ... which Google does not seem to acknowledge or be interested in! On the visitors centre, including toilets and gift shop: # Coffee (and tea) were fine; good selection of cakes / sweet treats(!) and hot meals available. Not cheap but not outrageous. Cheerful and friendly staff. # Very clean - and sustainable / energy efficient - toilets (only used M!) Lights only turn on when visitor is present; water dispensed from timer taps. Waste disposed directly into the nearest beach resort.

Didn't have a good first experience. Parking charges are a little steep which is an off-put considering there isn't much to do here.. bit boring. Takeaway food wasn't very nice either, £3.30 for a sausage bap that wasn't even average. A tiny bit of butter and 1½ sausages. Wouldn't of minded if there was an effort put into the food or at-least decent food produce used. Lady on the counter had a attitude too, not very friendly at all. She didn't seem to like children either. Avoid.

Nice food and reasonable prices at the café.

Lovely cafe, setting and staff. My criticism is that they charge 45p ( or possibly 50p) extra if you have oat milk in coffee. I dont know why places do this, oat milk is not expensive ,barely more than milk. Next time i will bring my own oat milk. This practice makes me very angry..can you explain it?

We've been several times, and really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately today the quality plummeted. 2 of us had tuna melt paninis which are normally really good. However they had obviously not been made to order as they arrived within a couple of minutes. They were not moist contained little tuna,and the underside was hard. 2 had cheese and ham sandwiches which weren't as good as normal. The tea wasn't hot enough and was weak. They need to get their act together or will start losing customers.

Nice cafe sit in or outside with views over the reservoir and surrounding area, foods good too.

Great cafe for a snack, coffee and cake, or a meal. Great views over the reservoir too. Good service, friendly staff.

Lovely place £5 to park all day. Had a meal in the restaurant very nice + a reasonable price. Plenty of places to sit + watch paddle boarders + canoeists. Though we didn't see any rubbish bins most people seemed to take their rubbish home. Will definitely go again when in the area

Great place to visit. Fab for all the family😊😊

Yesterday was my first visit - I was blown away by the whole overall experience! The setting was lovely - walking through the cute gift shop (which we made multiple purchases from after breakfast - as they had lots that caught our eye and very well priced) When we reached the Restaurant, we were greeted with a friendly smile and a polite waitress who showed us to a lovely table, with stunning views and we were clearly told how it worked - you order at the counter when you’re ready (I hate it when you go to places and don’t know the system). I went to order and they were very accommodating with the tweaks I wished to make to our order to suit our requirements. It was early so quiet, but service was quick and efficient. The lady even made polite conversation and was interested in our plans, which made the experience feel more personal. They had plenty of options and very well priced. The Oatcake was delicious - the best I’ve ever had! 10/10! Throughout our time enjoying our breakfast we noticed how accommodating the staff were to all customers (taking group photo’s, giving options on seating locations to suit best the party size and even noticing a family arrive outside and going out to greet them and sort seating for the children, again so efficiently). We asked for directions from the gift shop and the lady there was very helpful and informative aswell as assisting us in our purchases when we needed help getting the picture off the wall. The toilets were also clean & nice to use. The whole experience was superb and all the staff were absolutely wonderful! Thank you for starting our day so well! Can’t wait to visit again!

Such a lovely peaceful area. Beautiful views nice lake great food an drinks.. suitable for all. Including pets. Friendly and very polite staff. Had amazing day will definitely go again

Parking is expensive and there are no discounts/exemptions for those with blue badges (one of the reasons for being eligible for a blue badge is a disability affecting someone's use of parking meters, it would be discrimination to fine these people for not paying for parking).

Had a nice walk, coffee in the restaurant area very nice. Only one slight criticism is the coffee was quite expensive but nevertheless nice 😁

There is a lovely little cafe at tittesworth reservoir, lots of lovely cakes and does a good cup of coffee. Small range of meals but does them well. Toilets and gift shop as you'd expect. Fab walks around the reservoir and well worth going there in the evening especially as there are a lot of rabbits running around the cafe area. Well worth a visit!

It was our first visit to the cafe today and it was excellent. Staff are very friendly and professional and everything was very clean. We had the full English breakfast and it also was great. We will most definitely be returning very soon. 😃😃

The visitors center is very pretty with a small shop and children's play area. The walk around the reservoir is great, and shorter than that of Carsington water but still fairly challenging. Lots of great views along the way. Recommended for anyone staying at one of the caravan sites nearby.

A lovely evening walk. Good pathways and some inclines. The long route is about 5 miles. Stunning views and beautiful scenery.

Great views to enjoy your cuppa and cake. The site is very accessible for scooter users.

Called in restaurant for hot drinks and snack this afternoon. Very helpful and pleasant staff - talked us clearly through the new Covid 19 procedures now in place. Very impressed with the clearing of pots and cleaning down of tables and chairs as customers left. Very efficient. Felt safe and reassured.Thank you ☺️

Lovely day spent with family having a picnic. Good on site facilities.

Lovely place to visit and have a picnic

Good parking, 7km walk around. Cafe and toilets

Great place for getting that little bit closer to nature. Well marked out walking routes suitable for younger children. Great views of The Roaches and Hen Cloud. Enjoyed it.

Good speed there for ice cream after climbing up the Roaches

Delicious Staffordshire Oatcakes

Nice and relaxing walks well organised place to visit

Lovely tea and scones. All anti virus measures clear and in place

Lovely place to visit even when its rainy

Our first trip out after lockdown. Greeted with a smile and excellent safety procedures. Very clean and well organised service and such a lovely gentleman serving us. Stuart you are a star! Thankyou for a lovely visit.

Such a lovely spot to meet up with family and friends.We took a picnic and had a wonderful day with our two friends.Great ice-cream too.We will be back again soon.

Very pleased with the social distancing measures in place at their visitors centre. 😁👍

Food prices extortionate, avoid. Good place to walk around though

Very good selection of breakfast, sandwiches, ice creams and cakes. I have tried the Vegetarian Breakfast and was delicious as the bacon and sausages are no-no because I am a good Christian. Leviticus 11:7-8 NKJV 😊 Great staff and it was nice seeing them trying their best to comply with social distances rules by one way system in place to serve the customers. Will come back soon for the vegetarian breakfast. And afternoon tea.

Great day out at tittersworth reservoir. Lovely cafe and clean toilets. Plenty for little ones to see and do. Lots of picnic tables and grass to sit on.

Nice place to walk , good cafe doing take aways at the moment

Very well cared for spaces well and very clean

Amazing place for families that's all I need to say

Great place but no shelter/umbrellas from the sun and big queue for drinks and food.

Pleasant café and walks spoiled by the extortionately expensive parking.

Staff friendly food was good and freshly prepared

Very pleasant location. Food and rubbish on the table and floor even with 3 staff and few customers. Worth noting that you can not buy alcohol without a main meal.

Lovely setting and a great menu.

You need to pay for parking £3.00 for 2 hours or £5.00 for all day park, the machines take both cash or cards. The are walking paths, one is 1 mile and the other path is 4.3 miles around the reservoir. We chose to walk around the reservoir, some steep and uneven terrain. Some stunning view of the countryside and The Peak District (I think). Today, of all days... it snowed, thanks to the tail end of Storm Ciara. After our walk around the reservoir, we dived straight into the Visitor Centre for some warmth and a bit of food but unfortunately their power was off and only half of the building was illuminated. We still managed to get a nice hot pot of tea and some hot food, the staff worked tirelessly to keep the restaurant going with limited access to power. The weather got worse, the snow kept coming down, thick and fast, the manager had no choice to close the restaurant before the untreated roads were impossible to drive home. I would like to come again when the weather is a little warmer and see some of the wildlife around the reservoir.

Gorgeous walk around the reservoir today and even picnicked outside! Some lovely items in the shop too.

Excellent day out with the grandchildren. Play area good and food in the cafe was lovely and reasonably priced.

Beautiful day for a walk to the dam and view the birds on the water.Plenty to see,easy parking,views to the Roaches followed by comfy cafe for coffee&cake.

Lovely place to relax in the right company. Plenty of walks. Nice cafe, good selection of food and drinks. Clean toilets and nice little gift shop too

Lovely easy walk around the reservoir

Great Walk and good food at visitors centre

Lovely cafe overlooking the water.. Nice scones but poor hot chocolate.

Best sunset in majorca and tapas was great , especially the nachos

Great for walking, lovely cafe and shop at the visitors centre.

Amazing staff. This is my second review which is no different to my first. Love it here, beautiful surroundings. I can only comment on the paddleboards which I would highly recommend giving a go.

Good food excellent service from staff

Nice family friendly lake with a great view. Many parking spaces available, for 2 hours £3. Also children's play area, restaurent & toilets.

A quiet place by the lake. Of course, like most things, you can't compete here. Paid parking is available

Some lovely walks around the reservoir. We planned on having lunch in the café but dogs were not welcome and there was nowhere to sit outside out of the weather.

Ordered two sandwiches from the cafe unfortunately I cant remember the price but it was expensive for sandwiches. Both were stale and had to go back, terrible service and staff were rude.

Some good walks: 2 & 5 mile. Small walk suitable for some disabilities, best to call to check if unsure. Restaurant for a mini break after your walk; reasonable value for money. Good parking spaces, but pay and display.
