Food perfectly cooked and very fresh cobs. Washed down with a lovely cup of tea! Also superb prices too! I will visit again!

Popped in for a cuppa with my elderly parents. Hadn't been before. Lovely bright tea room with well spaced tables. Served by a lovely lady that chatted with us. Didn't sample any food ourselves this time but there was a good array of handmade cakes on show. Will definitely return.

Visited here with my elderly sister. Level access which was a must as my sister's mobility is poor. Plenty of room between tables. It was nice and clean including toilets. Good choice of food for lunch and good sized portions. Nice chatty lady served us and prepared food. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as it was very quiet, but would visit again

I've visited this tea room on numerous occasions , breakfast and afternoon tea specifically. The food has always been great, there's always a friendly smile from the staff and a good standard of cleanliness as well. If you haven't yet been ,I would definitely recommend you do.

This is a really special place with an exceptional person serving. The welcome and politeness we received was great. There was an honesty and integrity displayed. The quality of food provided was impressive. The café is on the outskirts of Derby in a more residential area which is a bonus for parking.
