Kaths Cafe — Restaurant in North East Derbyshire

I've read the other reviews for Kath's and feel like I must have gone to the wrong place! I immediately felt the weird vibe - lady behind the till (Kath?) couldn't even muster a smile. I was hoping for a full English and asked if they did a veggie option. The short reply was No. I'd have been happy with egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast but she didn't even offer that (so I'm guessing popping a pack of meat-free sausages on the shopping list would be a step too far?) I opted for an egg mayo sandwich. Then I realised it was cash only (even my gardener has a mobile card machine!), but luckily had a tenner on me. Sadly, this wasn't enough to stretch to the coffee and sandwich which came in at a whopping £11.20. So I cancelled the sandwich - and she said she'd bring the coffee over. I sat down...15 minutes later still no coffee. I mentioned it to the cook who had come out of the kitchen and was tidying a table. She looked at me with daggers and said "yes, I know. I'm working through the orders." I felt like a nuisance for asking. When I left, I did a quick recce of the farm shop. Which was actually 3 scruffy cauliflowers, a few cabbages, some tomatoes and mouldy lemons...with a line of laundry flapping in the breeze next to them. The whole visit was just odd and unpleasant. Maybe they were just having a bad day, but there are enough lovely coffee shops in Derbyshire for me to not have to...

What a find, dropped in for a coffee & cakes. Staff were so welcoming, scones & coffee cake were delicious & we sat outside in the sunshine to enjoy them. Some fresh vegetables available in the farm shop & there was also milk, bread, cakes & other provisions in the shop along with a small variety of gifts. Will definitely visit again when...

We've ridden 🏍 past many times. Decided to stop this time, and it was so worth it. Amazing scones 😋 and very friendly staff. Make sure you have cash as they don't take cards, only cheques. Will be going back soon, maybe for breakfast or lunch. Seating...
