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.

Stumbled across this place completely by accident! Mrs G and I decided to take a nice drive through…read morethe beautiful Peak District on a gorgeous sunny December day. 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

Set adjacent to the green in the picturesque village of Baslow is the Café on the Green. Having…read morewalked passed it on our stroll to Chatsworth House, we were impressed by its menu and sunny outlook, so we called in for breakfast one morning. The cakes on display looked so inviting and its the first time I've seen cornflake cake since I was at school! As it was breakfast time though, we confined our menu choices the wide variety of breakfasts on offer, from toast to the requisite Full English. We plumped for scrambled eggs and poached eggs on toast, well presented and freshly cooked, but just a little under-seasoned. It didn't really matter overly though, listening to the radio, in comfortable surroundings, revelling in the fact that we were on holiday, more than made up for it. The menu for the rest of the day was equally tempting with fresh sandwiches, hot meals etc. Pity we never got the chance to return, I'm sure we will in the future.

Anyway have been several times since then, and the coffee is amazing. The staff are coffee mad and take it really seriously. Abit freaky but the coffee is exceptional. I usually drink coffee at Nonna's or Bragazzis but this stuff is better. Have only eaten there once but the food was fresh, and very tasty and my mate even managed to buy gluten free cake - which was great as it stopped her moaning for ages while I ate mine! The outside area is lovely with seats by the river but its been too cold to sit out every time I have been. I was offered a blanket but I am not that brave. I have drunk coffee in alot of places - most of bad, weak, milky and bitter but they have really upped the ante. Abit pricey but well worth it. Just don't ask for chocolate on your cappuccino!!

I tried elliotts on a recommendation from a rambling group friend and found myself very disapointed. The coffee which i waited an age for whilst the barrista chatted away with a dog! was bitter, and don't even get me started on the cakes. i know when cake has come from a wholesaler rather than being homemade but the women behind the counter insisted they were all made that day by herself. this was a blatant lie and next time maybe they should do a better job of hiding the costco packaging when staff are replenishing supplies it's a shame about this place as it's in a lovely spot, and it has the plus point of not being of the twee tea room genre so proliific in the peak district and apart from the women behind the counter the rest of the staff seem to be very sweet.

What a wee gem of a place! It is on the Main Street in Castleton and has been there for 100's of…read moreyears. It has an amazing secret garden out the back. The back garden is lush and well established. Such a lovely view when eating a delicious cream tea. The scone was big and moist with just enough jam and clotted cream to eat with it. My boyfriend had a Mediterranean vegetable quiche. Now, I don't really like quiche but this was moist without being soggy. Lots of flavour in it as well. The inside of the cafe was cosy and much busier than the outside. The specials board also looked appetising and the cakes all looked amazing and home baked. I thought that having a cake as well as a cream tea was a bit much, regret that decision now! The cream tea was only £3.95 which I thought was reasonable. Go just to sit in the lovely garden.
