Beautiful beer garden, lovely food and great service

Had Sunday lunch 5th July, was best one have had recently, tasty, food well cooked and pudding to share was delicious. Always a friendly atmosphere and definitely be returning soon

We visited the gardens on Sunday 6th July and ate at the cafe for lunch. The food was fresh and tasty and the staff were very friendly. It was also good value for money. We ate in the courtyard and it was all very lovely. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food. Great atmosphere with live music. Waitresses we're great and very attentive.

I reserved a table for lunch on Wed 1 July. We ordered two tuna salads, which took over 40 mins to arrive at our table, and they looked quite unappetising, a few lettuce leaves in a bowl with a huge pile of tuna mayo on top. There were flies everywhere in the cafe. We left most of our meal behind, as most of it was just tuna mayo and hardly any other salad ingredients, not a very nice experience.

What a fantastic meal we had on Thursday night. Absolutely loved it all………the food, the service, the atmosphere, all amazing. We came here a few years ago and the food was great so we decided to come back again and it didn’t disappoint. Loved the banter we had with our waiter who was brilliant and very quick to attend to an issue we had with one of our meals. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return when we’re next in Buxton. Thank you all.

I booked a table online for lunch at the cafe. However I arrived at the entrance no one was there to check in the booking and there was just a sign to say grab the menu and choose a table; the menu was nowhere near the sign; the staff just stared while I was trying to figure things out. This doesn’t work well for new customers. I then decided to take order a fruit scone and a latte while I waited for my friend to arrive and alas the scone was stale; however this was resolved by an apology from management, I was offered a choice of a refund or a drink as compensation and I chose the later. Both my friend and I chose the home made pie of the day which came with chips and that was okay. Fast forward we quickly forgot about the mishap when we entered the gardens which were absolutely breathtaking. I would rate overall experience a 4/5 . I would suggest no need for a pre booking from my experience and those of previous customer reviews.

Good food with excellent service

Food was perfect, staff were excellent, friendly and good fun. Band were also excellent, great atmosphere, everyone enjoyed themselves. Looking forward to our next visit.

Meal with friends and all of us really enjoyed every course. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and really good quality

Beautiful place lovely food will definitely go again. My granddaughter loved the Afternoon tea

A birthday treat in the company of a very close friend. It was my first visit to Renishaw and to say I enjoyed the cards and quintessential afternoon tea would be an understatement. The gardens were an absolute joy, naturally flowing cottage plants gracing a very well architectured layout and well coordinated colours and blossoms alike. It's the only gardens I have visited on such a beautiful scale of beauty. Very pleasing to the eyes. The afternoon tea was sheer perfection, a generous serving of quality sandwiches and savouries accompanied by a good selection of sweet elicacies and a much appreciated large pot of tea for one and large cafetiere for one, very much needed with such a grand selection of edibles. We chose the sparking Renishaw Rose`, which tasted beautiful and refreshing. The decoration of the table made the experience very personal and extravagant, very much a pamper feeling from the moment you are seated. The staff were very friendly and helpful. On what was a very hot day, they deserve a big thank you. This, I hope, will become one of my favourite places to come to, every detail was sheer enjoyment, thank you for making it so special for all your visitors.

Had great time at Baileys. food was great most people in our party had steaks, all cooked perfectly. good drinks and ambience, topped off by the live band Sonic Duo who were excellent. Highly recommend

Lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed our food. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch at The Old Gate, with succulent roast beef, gorgeous gravy, freshly cooked vegetables and lovely home made yorkshire puddings. Delicious!

Fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff, who helped me celebrate my big birthday. See you again soon!

We really enjoyed our breakfast food drinks and service here. We will definitely return as will the friends we met there.

WOW! We had an Amazing Luxury afternoon tea which was a gift for my birthday. The window was decorated with happy birthday very classy. The staff were wonderful going out of their way to help and so friendly and genuine. The food was delicious with sandwiches, sausage rolls then lots of yummy cakes and fruit. We brought our cream scones home ready for another cream tea. I would definitely recommend and we will certainly be back to use the cafe and try some of the food from the menu. Thank you!
