The best restaurants serving British food in Shipley Park, Horsley and Horsley Woodhouse Amber Valley East Midlands

We recently decided to treat ourselves to an afternoon tea at Morley Hayes, it was absolutely delightful. The ambiance was serene, and the selection of teas and treats was exquisite. Our waiter, Finn, was incredibly attentive and polite, ensuring our experience was top-notch. Highly recommended for a lovely afternoon out! ☕🍰

Surprise 70th birthday party held in the back of the venue. The party room was lovely anx spacious with patio access outside. I didn't even know it existed as you can't see from the front of the pub. Excellent buffet and staff very attentive. Xx

We visited the Three Horse Shoes as a family for Sunday dinner and we were highly impressed. It was by far the best home made Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time. The Yorkshire puddings were massive, the meat was top quality and the gravy was delicious. We also ordered cauliflower cheese as a side order which was amazing!! The pub has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be going back again soon. It’s dog friendly too which is a bonus for us. Give it a try it’s a solid 10/10.

Located at the Slack Lane entrance of Shipley Country Parknis this perfectly decent and spacious cafe, offering valuable refreshment to the ramblers, birdwatchers and families that frequent the park. Offering everything from cooked breakfasts, paninis, sandwiches and a wide variety of drinks and cakes, this cafe truly is a valuable part of the park. We enjoyed hot cobs and tea, along with a lovely caramel shortcake biscuit. Sadly, however, Derbyshire County Council don't seem to share this view, as their over fastidious, nit-picking intrusion into the running of the business to whom they rent the premises. The upshot of it is that last year Derbyshire County Council informed the cafe that they were increasing their rent by an extraordinary 66% As if this wasn't bad enough, this rent increase came with the stipulation that additional rent increases may well be incurred if the business continued to be successful, with level of rent increase tied directly to financial turnover and/or business profits. This would require Ramblers Cafe to submit their accounts to DCC as part of an "answerability" agreement. Thanks to a (totally justifiable) level of anger from the public, this was revised by DCC, with the renf increase dropping by 50% to a 33% increase, but with the answerability process (with all its intrusiveness) remaining in place. Perhaps unsurprisingly, despite the rent being directly linked to turnover, should the cafe's turnover drop (which is entirely conceivable, given the rise in minimum wage, rise in food/ingredient costs, rise in energy prices etc etc), the rent increase of 33% would not go down. Ultimately this has meant that this cafe has had to close its doors - and indeed will be doing so as of the end of March 2024.  DCC have allowed an independent business to go to the wall because they are desperately trying to plug the haping holes in their revenue stream - gaping holes brought about by their own mismanagement. At time of writing, you still have time to visit here, and I urge you to do so!

We have just had a lovely 1 night, 2 x golf at MH with friends. We have been a few times before and are happy to return as it has always been a lovely venue. Hotel, golf, food, staff can’t be faulted. However, after golf and before we were heading home we went to the Spike Bar and ordered food in our individual couples. Some time later one of our friends received his sandwich/chips. Then we had a long wait and my husband received his Panini/chips. After a long wait my friend and I asked where our food was as our husbands had both finished theirs. Unfortunately the staff serving us were not helpful or reassuring so we had to request a refund. Sadly this was extremely poor customer service, which we do not expect from Morley Hayes. Two ladies left to go home feeling hungry and disappointed.

Called at the garden centre today for lunch,the staff were very pleasant and polite, we had smothered chicken and gammon they were both delicious 10/10 highly recommended, would definitely come back .
