Reviews in Derbyshire

Our afternoon tea was very enjoyable. A good selection of sandwiches and cakes. All very fresh. Staff very attentive

Lovely food, I had chicken tray and my partner had belly pork, both were delicious. Never been disappointed on the food. The service was great too. Good value for money

When we arrived the guy said they’d finished serving food 19 minutes earlier. No one had seen our booking so was very disappointing and a waisted journey which was sad as we’d been so many times before at that time. Did try calling but no answer

Excellent food and excellent service

We celebrated a friend’s birthday here with Afternoon Tea. The Rex Whistler room was lovely and the table decorated beautifully with artificial flowers. The staff were welcoming friendly and attentive. The food was lovely too, it was a nice touch that the quiche was hot, it would have been nice if the sausage rolls were as well. The cakes were all nice with some novel sweets too, the macarons were superb. The scones were a little heavy and would have been better served warm in my opinion. We couldn’t eat it all despite being very hungry and takeaway boxes were kindly supplied. We had a wonderful time especially the birthday girl and would love to return soon.

Twenty three Stumperlowe Probus members and guests were shown around the beautiful Renishaw grounds by David Kesteven, Head Gardener, The tour was bookended by refreshments and then lunch in the elegant and relaxed RexWhistler function room. The event was superbly managed by Carrie-Anne Burton and it all went without a hitch. The hot buffet was excellent and there was more than enough for everyone and there was a great variety of food, including specifically requested GF dishes. All the staff were delightful. The garden tour was tremendous. David was so informative, with exactly the right balance of humour, serious gardening advice and a host of other information about the specimen plants, trees and historical notes about the house and garden development since the 1600s Fabulous!

My friend and I went to visit as we'd never been before despite living not far away. We couldn't fault the food and the service was outstanding. So friendly and helpful and even had a chat with the lovely elderly gentleman running the bookings for wine tours, garden entrance and wine sales who was very helpful and gave us loads of information. I also bought a bottle of their still white wine which is very nice. We also bought a few bits from the farm shop and once again the lovely young man was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely go back!

Very good food, Credit to the chef Ben

We had a lovely Afternoon Tea at Renishaw Hall . A wedding gift voucher was used and our table was set beautifully. Food , service , staff was amazing. This is the first time we have eaten there and would highly recommend it .

It’s the first time we have had Sunday lunch here and we weren’t disappointed. The food is always great. It wasn’t very busy which was surprising being the bank holiday weekend. I think perhaps more advertising/social media would help as once inside the staff are lovely, the service is great and the food is amazing.

Haddock & chips on Friday- always good

We were gifted an Afternoon Tea to celebrate our Golden Wedding. Having various food allergies we were assured that I could be accommodated with a savoury selection of food, my husband the normal afternoon tea.. They were not kidding absolutely everything was superb and delicious! The wonderful staff had decorated our table with beautiful flowers, and were a delight, nothing was too much trouble.. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere within the restaurant, without any fussiness, it felt very comfortable. Thank you everyone at Renishaw Hall Restaurant for making our day very special..

We had previously booked afternoon tea for 4 people for our anniversary. We were not disappointed. The table was decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. We didn't feel rushed and everything arrived in a timely manner. This is our third afternoon tea at Renishaw and they have never disappointed. The staff are friendly but unobtrusive which made for a relaxed enjoyable afternoon. Looking forward to the next one.

Just moved to the area and decided to pop in here with my sister and nephew . Lady was lovely on reception into the bar and very helpful . Food was lovely and big portions . Helpful team and service . Went back again today with my friend and booked Sunday lunch tomorrow Can’t recommend enough Sure this is definitely our local :)

We have a lovely evening meal for a party of 6. We ordered the pizza and gyros. All was amazing. We will definitely be coming back. The best pizza we have had in a long time. The lady that served us was friendly and helpful too.

We visited Renishaw Gardens and Cafe on the 16th May for my mums birthday. We found Phil at the visitors centre very welcoming and helpful, I am a wheelchair user and he took the time to show us the accessible routes on the map. The gardens were great however the weather was wet so we didn’t spend too long in the gardens we will be back when the weather turns warmer. We had afternoon tea at the cafe and the table was decorated lovely, the food was delicious and all the staff were very friendly. It was a lovely experience which I would recommend .

Book a table with friends and wasn’t disappointed. Food was prompt and very tasty. There was a good variety of food , and caters for all kinds of dietary needs. Staff were polite and friendly. Will be visiting again.

We enjoyed an excellent visit to the wonderful gardens at Renishaw Hall. We also ate at the Garden Cafe twice, lunch and tea and cake later. Our lunch reservation had been lost somehow. From reading other reviews there seems to be a disconnection between the sugarvine thing and the staff in the restaurant. We were not deterred by the long queue to order food, but an operational audit of the order process could achieve some improvements. Food was excellent, service great.
