Stunning food and first class service. We are so lucky to have this special place right on our doorstep. We already booked again for 2 weeks time! Highly recommend!

Very nice great staff made us feel very welcome

We arranged an Afternoon Tea for our friend's 70th birthday, party of 8. It was absolutely delightful :) Staff had decorated our corner table with lovely Autumnal theme and put a Birthday banner up. It was just lovely! The tea itself was really delicious, proper sandwiches and delicious cakes - my favourite was the Chocolate orange one, yummy. We shared a bottle of the Renishaw Brut which was the perfect match for the tea. There were plenty of teapot refills and I agree nothing was too much trouble. I wanted to book again for next 70th birthday outing in January but sadly Renishaw is closed til March! Will make sure to return then. Thank you.

We had a lovely lunch on Saturday. There were 7 of us and the team were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Food wonderful. Thank you

We had a family lunch to celebrate my dad’s 93rd birthday. The table was beautifully decorated and staff were so very attentive and made the event special for my dad. The food was lovely and portions were quite large. Staff came out and sang Happy Birthday with a cake, so there were a few tears. A great place for a celebration event. Thank you for everything.

Another wonderful experience. We’ve had breakfast a few times now and have a wonderful time each time. Lovely food with a lovely quiet atmosphere . The staff are so friendly and will do anything for you. I recommend to everyone I can!

We had the best afternoon tea for a baby shower. The staff were super friendly and helpful accounting for all the dietary requirements our large group had. Upon arrival, the table was decorated with beautiful flowers and fairy lights and the afternoon tea was delicious! I can’t thank the staff enough for a wonderful time!

We visited Renishaw Hall for a guided tour and afternoon tea as a birthday treat - and it was perfect. Many thanks to all those in the Hall, reception and restaurant for their warm and friendly welcome, their attentiveness and really lovely (and huge) afternoon tea. What a great experience - thank you!

We were very pleasantly served and the food was good. Having booked in advance however, and travelled up from South Nottingham for a meaningful occasion, we were disappointed to find that by 1pm there was “No pie left,” “No jacket potatoes left,” “No paninis.” I would definitely have had pie, and my wife probably JP.

We visited with a large U3A group of around 45, and were seated in the Rex Whistler room. We had ordered lunch in advance and all went very smoothly. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the food excellent. Everyone in our group was very happy. Our visit was in August, and I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to write this review.

Excellent service and good value for money

Lovely atmosphere Staff Very nice and helpful

We received a gift voucher for luxury afternoon tea as a Christmas gift and booked the experience for last week. The website isn’t the easiest to navigate to redeem the voucher and while booking afternoon tea was easy, I rang to check my booking and explain about being unable to book using the voucher. The staff were great though and said to bring the voucher on the day and it would be accepted (which it was). The food good & as with most afternoon teas, we came away with uneaten cake. The service however was great. The waitress couldn’t do enough for us and it was a lovely experience. It was very busy on the day we went as there was a McMillan Coffee Morning being held but it was great to see the cafe bustling with people. Unfortunately it meant we had afternoon tea in the cafe and not the adjoining room where it is normally served. The farm shop was a lovely surprise and we came away with a few additional purchases. We didn’t have enough time to take in the gardens and I would have liked to book a tour of the house. I’m sure we’ll be back though.

Unfortunately, as far as the menu was concerned, it was very disappointing. It was quite limited, so when told they had run out of Eggs Benedict and baked potatoes it was even more limited. Also ran out of ketchup and no pouring cream. I had the quiche which was not very good. However, the staff were lovely. Very helpful and friendly.

The food and service were very good when I visited with a group of friends.The waitress was very pleasant and made our visit very enjoyable.

Another great breakfast. Friendly staff and wonderful food. A lovely atmosphere for a Sunday morning

Great surroundings, clean, lovely helpful friendly staff & good value for money food & drink.

Went for a lunch date with friends. In lovely grounds. Tasty cakes. I had the quiche which wasn’t anything special.
