  Visited the other day whilst walking the pennine bridleway, very polite & friendly staff it was just a tea & cake stop this time but the Crunchie Brownies we had... read more were probably the best we’ve had for sometime. All Covid friendly, just a little unusual you have to take away your own rubbish.

  Called in with my friend after a morning out walking Derwent /Ladybower Reservoirs. It was drizzly but we managed to get a table under a brolly ☂️ had coffees and... read more cold drinks.

  When we bought our new house, we were delighted to find ourselves 5minutes walk from this fabulous cafe. Jo uses coffee from Peak Bean (the local roastery), bacon & sausage... read more from Kemp's butchers in Hayfield and always gives her local suppliers a nod on her menus. Her specials are excellent and her massive breakfast menu - which is served all day - has something for meaties, vegetarians & vegans.
Cakes are stupendously super. I always buy extra to take home!

  We stopped off for lunch whilst walking the Sett Valley Trail from New Mills to Hayfield, and waited a few minutes for one of the few outdoor tables (it was... read more quite busy on a nice Sunday afternoon). There is a very wide choice of menu and our lunch was very tasty, with good portions and reasonably priced. It is worth noting that this cafe shuts at 2pm so make sure you arrive in time!

My only grumble was that we were asked to take all the packaging that the food had been served in, for Covid safety reasons. I think a business should dispose of the rubbish it generates, not burden nearby bins (or worse, litter in the countryside) and a simple sack for customers to place rubbish in would not present a risk to staff.

  Called today for lunch 1st time great menu something for everyone I had salmon breakfast Gwyneth amblers breakfast both very tasty & well presented staff & customers very friendly will... read more call again

Thank you for staying open 🙂 x

  Really loved this place. Parked up at the top of the trail in Hayfield (which is outrageously expensive by the way - find a space on the street) & walked... read more down to the cafe for tea & cake. Absolute treat! Clear day so we sat outside with the pram, wouldn’t have fit it inside as it’s very cosy so bear this in mind if you’re visiting and not planning on sitting outside. So full of quirk & character. Looking forward to returning.

Each time we visit we are met with friendly faces and staff are... read more very accommodating of any special requirements.
