The best restaurants in Amber Valley East Midlands

We called in during a walk. Sophie made us welcome & we were spoiled for food choice. Opted for the white Tuscan bean soup with a scone and a chicken focaccia sandwich, both delicious. Will try the scotch eggs next time. Such a pleasant place to visit on a walk. Highly recommend.

The Farmhouse Kitchen is not the sort of place that will attract much casual passing trade; it is beautifully situated in a remote spot, a few miles west of Middleton in Teesdale, on a dead end road so, other than a few walkers looking for refreshments, the only clientele will be people who know it is there, and who are prepared to travel to it. Don’t let any of this put you off though, the meals are excellent and the portions generous. Sunday Lunch is strictly pre booking only, and choice limited to roast of the day, plus a vegetarian option. All food is home cooked, freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. Our roast beef came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage and swede, followed by home made apple crumble and filter coffee or tea. For those who have not booked, or who do not want a traditional roast dinner, there is the choice of All Day Breakfast, or various options of pies, chips, gammon, sausages, chips and sandwiches, cakes etc. The service is friendly and efficient, and the location, in a converted farm building, is very comfortable and welcoming, situated in a very pretty valley with open views of fields and hills all around. We will be back soon! 2 things to bear in mind though: the opening times are limited to Saturday and Sunday only, Easter to October, and they do not accept card payment, which could be a problem when the nearest cash machine is 1/2 an hours drive away!

Brilliant cafe. Amazing good. Friendly service. Well worth a visit. Had the full English breakfast which was really good. Good quality ingredients and really reasonable. Great selection of cakes too.

The glorious smells from this cafe promised a treat after a tour of the shops in the mill. We were not disappointed. The owner is lovely and makes her own soups, savouries, mains and cakes. Hearty portions of excellent food and lots of tea! I'm looking forward to making a booking for the monthly Sunday lunch.

Bubbling atmosphere and such a historic place! Almost looks untouched. Pizza was strangely good and building was so aesthetically pleasing

The food was delicious, we will be back for more.

GREAT FOOD AND AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE. GREAT PLACE, ABSOLUTE GEM. WILL BE BACK.

A real gem. Lovely, friendly service and the food is fabulous with some really unusual specials for a chip shop. Can highly recommend the salt and pepper squid.

As a regular customer I've always enjoyed their Chinese or fish and chips. Friendly service as well.

Thanks for fitting David and myself in when busy

Great night, great service, great food…… such a shame I waited 20 minutes for my change! Was more than happy to leave a tip … just disappointed you just kept my change! That’s why you get a 1* for service.

Great food, excellent vibe and the team were so welcoming. Small place so its busy so reserve space if you want food. My friend had the Japanese bowl which I tried and it was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful evening

Been today got serviced always the same woman serves me give me the wrong cakes,I ask for 2 x cream scones instead she tried to give me a cream donut instead I stopped her this time before she boxed it me ,then realised when I got home she only gave me 1 cream scone,so rung up & she said sorry ,but if she does it with everyone she shouldn't be serving anyone anymore, Apart from that the food is great can't complain about that

Absolutely perfect. Friendly staff and the quality of the food was outstanding. Thankyou
