We visited the farm shop restaurant on a Saturday morning and waited about 30 minutes for a table, which we expected. Once seated, we ordered two Archie half breakfasts and were informed there would be a wait. Unfortunately, they were right – it took a painfully long 40 minutes for the food to arrive. We eat out frequently and just couldn’t understand why things were moving so slowly, especially since the breakfast items we ordered were standard fare. The place seemed well-staffed, with plenty of people in the kitchen and on the tills, and given that it’s not table service (you order at the counter), the delay was puzzling. There appears to be a fundamental issue that needs addressing, perhaps with the menu itself or the kitchen process. Are breakfast staples not being pre-cooked? Is the menu overly ambitious? To compare, we regularly visit the high-end Daylesford farm shop, which is larger and always bustling, yet operates like clockwork. Tables are turned over quickly, it’s full table service, and food comes out swiftly, even during peak hours. Perhaps they manage efficiency better with a more streamlined breakfast menu? Overall, a review of operations here could make a huge difference. With improved service, they’d surely serve more food and generate more revenue. I’d love to return, but hope for some changes first!

The Tavern in Denstone is a fabulous local pub, just down the road from Alton Towers. We are fortunate to live fairly close by and the Tavern is definitely our pub of choice, always guaranteed service with a smile. We never fail to have a good 'early doors' night out which almost always ends up with last orders! Special mention to Max, but all the staff are wonderful and can't recommend the Tavern enough. Pay a visit and enjoy a real country pub atmosphere! Best to leave your car at home 😉

Was very quick upon request, beans were warm toast was ok, however the sausage was raw, the eggs tasted like petrol& the cheese in the oatcakes was uncooked, we had to cook them ourselves when we took it home and the cheese had a powdery texture to it. Everything was burnt on the outside.
