Aisseford Tea Room — Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely little cafe/takeaway in this gorgeous village! Being used by locals - always a good sign.

Small and quirky! Charmingly friendly chap doing the 'hosting'! I'm not one for going into cafes on my own but I would suggest this is a place that people on their own would feel comfortable. I feel he would happily chat the day away with anyone ☺️. Small shop at the front with seating behind. Lovely, quirky little conservatory on the back. Nice little garden, up some steps,with a chicken or two wandering round.

I've knocked one star off as there wasn't any cake I could eat today ( my fault, not yours - allergies and a good dose of radiotherapy😕) so can't really judge them. I'll be happy to up it to 5 stars if, next time we come, I can eat something.👍🏻

5 star food hygiene score. Good, no nonsense menu. Very reasonably priced. Great spot to pick if either out rambling that way or on a scenic drive. Gorgeous village. Definitely...

Aisseford Tearooms pronounced Ace Ford is a delightful and homely establishment with a cheery feel to it. The service was excellent and served up with a good dollop of humour, just the sort of thing that daft old Yorkshiremen enjoyed before the world turned sour and dark. Yorkshire humour was exercised every minute of the day in years past, indeed it is what inspired the comedy 'Last Of The Summer Wine. ' Though I didn't order food, I could see that a very high standard is being maintained here. In a former life I was a banquet waiter and I noted the hand carrying skills that were being employed by the staff. If you're in Ashford you must visit this...

In short, this tea room is fantastic.

If you prefer a more detailed description here it is. Most tea rooms in England have a certain charm to them and some are grand because they are long established or have a famous reputation. This tea room is special in a different respect, an honest experience through and through, the staff are beyond courteous (despite dealing with annoying Covid restrictions at the time of our visit), attentive, efficient and the food and tea itself was beyond reproach, especially for the price. No skimping or cutting corners, proper, from scratch paninis on my order and scones that would give the West Country a run for its money. If you're passing through this charming village you owe it to yourself to...
