Crossroads Cafe — Restaurant in Chesterfield

This was my 1st visit to dine in at Crossroads Cafe .It does have a very small parking area outside the premises & limited roadside space aswell.Theres around 8 colourful wooden picnic style benches outside for when the weather allows outside dining,includes a framed structure possibly used to hold some kind of undercover canopy .Inside this popular Cafe,it was very busy with a good majority of the tables already being occupied. My works party of 5 did manage to find a good size table which we found are fix bolted to the floor& too much of a squeeze for all of us so I found another small table for myself. Theres a good menu choice & Orders are placed at the counter,where payments were taken by cash,( as Card option wasn't available during my visit due to server problems).The staff service was very welcoming & pleasant .I could see that everyone on duty was very busy.,You return to your table with any drinks & your meal is then brought out to the table .I really enjoyed my roast beef xmas dinner & thought it was good value for the money,alot nicer than i expected. The only problem I found was the lack of face mask coverings not being worn by customers entering the building,nobody using the hand sanitiser on the wall near the door during these troubled times of covid .When a bit of queue started forming into the middle of the room from the counter.I felt it was very disrespectful for those sat down eating when folk are stood close by .Just give some thought to those around you &wear a mask until your sat down or have left the building .don't spoil the occasion for others,.show some common...

I worked there as a teenager over 30 years ago. I took my adult son there recently when he said he fancied a propper ( greasy spoon ) breakfast. A term he learned from his dad. Its brilliant value and honest food that satisfies. It's still like a family kitchen, where you're welcome and appreciated. The staff plate it up and cook it like they do at home. Care and pride in what they do is evident. Oh and a cup of tea that's second to none. Someone commented that's its up market. It's definitely not overpriced or aimed at the affluent. It's a working man's, family venue, with an area a little more private, an open front and sheltered outside area. It is a cleaner, brighter cafe than you'd expect in the location. Full breakfast, toast and tea. All under a fiver. The comment about mould and rude staff. Don't believe you. Why didn't you tell them instead of saying now with no proof.. Why didn't you back this up. And mould? Nah, they have a fast turn around with no time for mould. Chip butty, what do you want? Parking, there's loads down the road.. Walk.. ps. You are rude by using the car park of a buisiness you wasn't attending, then saying it was a good...
