The restaurant features freshly made dishes made with homegrown seasonal produce. While visiting our family in Liverpool, we came here as a group for afternoon tea. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law had been here before, so they knew it was great and brought us back, along with my husband's grandparents. Do take note, you have to book your table in advance. We sat in one of the backrooms which was very cozy and inviting, albeit a bit noisy from a rowdy group of "ladies who lunch," but it was fine once they left. We all really appreciated that savory items were included in the the afternoon tea. The menu features a selection of sandwiches, savouries, a cup of soup, a bucket of chips, a selection of cakes and a mini trifle. Plus your choice of a pot of tea or cup of filter coffee. I was happily surprised at the wide variety of teas! There was ample to eat. My husband and I ate our entire afternoon tea, but everyone else in our group had a few sweet treats left to take home. The food was very delicious. I loved the little quiche best along with the soup served in a cute tea cup and saucer! Plus, the little basket of chips was a nice touch! Scrumptious! Also, it's just 14 pounds for Afternoon Tea which I think it a great value for such a delicious savory tea. Afterwards, my family browsed the farm store and boutique which featured a lot of cute country style home goods and seasonal produce and artisanal food items. Do go upstairs to poke around at their merchandise. It's cute. I really enjoyed this afternoon tea and I'd love to return next time we're back to visit my husband's family!

Although the name and the interior is a little deceptive, the menu is superb. The Prestbury Rarebit was a feast of oozy cheesy goodness, and the grilled goats cheese and beetroot salad was superb. I have it on good faith that the mushroom stroganoff was excellent as well. Sadly I was too full for desert (eating out three times in one day will do that to you) but the home made cakes looked delicious. According to the front-of-house manager (one half of the two sister owners), everything is made fresh in house using quality local ingredients. Definitely worth a visit if you're down that way.

The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

I appreciate that both visits, the kind staff follow covid safety precautions, and that the seating is spread out. There is even plenty of outdoor seating. We enjoyed the Lunch Roast Chicken, Leek, Bacon & Mushroom Pie (my 12 yr old son and I shared) and the Woods Award Winning Pork Sausages (hubby's fave) so much the first time, that we ordered them again last week. The hot chocolate and chocolate cake was decadent. The first time, I liked the Crayfish & Watercress sandwich. We plan to bring my MIL here when we next visit.

First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019

The highlight of a trip here is afternoon tea, which provides unlimited cups of tea, mixed sandwiches, cakes and scones. If you choose this, please come hungry or you will never make any inroads into it - we never manage to finish, no matter how little we have eaten before arrival. Sheila's also offers delicious Sunday lunches and is a great place for a trip out into the country followed by something nice to eat. It is suitable for all the family, but particularly for impressing your relatives!

As the name suggests, it is located in an old school building, small but perfectly formed. The cafe is a little gem when you get here. The food is lovely, afternoon tea is excellent and the choice and service is very good. There is plenty of parking, and the location is great if you fancy a walk either before or after your visit. The only problem is that because it is quite small inside, it can get full, so you need to be willing to wait sometimes.

It represents true value for money and is much better than the university canteen and Subway. There are a number of sandwich fillings you can have and all sandwiches are made to order. Everything from a salad bap to a sausage and bacon sarnie. Price wise it's cheaper than competitors but the only down side is that it is take away only. It's only down the road from Hanley Park so if it's a nice day, venture there to enjoy a lunchtime snack.
