The Refreshment Room - High Peak

Half way through a 10 mile walk, we needed good coffee and sustenance. We found both at the Station. Good coffee and a very tasty scone (with jam and butter) at a fair price.

You are always there to help keep me and my abseiling clients cool when it's hot, warm when we're cold or wet. We love your coffee, your locally sourced ice creams and I eat far too many of your yummy Farmers Sausage Rolls and Scotch Eggs. I have to resist the homemade cakes and tray bakes. Your young team work hard to keep everyone happy, fed watered and I have always been served with politeness and a smile. Thank you from Pete the Abseiling Derbyshire team

My sister, the dog and I have visited the last two weeks in a row, for lunch. The cafe is beautiful- clean, spacious and (most importantly at the moment) cosy-warm. It’s right on the Monsal Trail and the super friendly smiles from the lovely staff were much appreciated after our beautiful long walks. I can recommend the cheese jacket potato and the dog wolfed down her sausages! Lovely mugs of tea and hot chocolate were equally well received. We will be back soon!

Lovely little cafe along the Monsal Trail. Popped in for coffee and cake! Cakes were absolutely delicious (recommend the date slice)! Prices were also good for the size of the slices. Staff were very friendly and helpful with directions.

On a hot sunny Sunday with two small children, could not find any shade outside so moved into the indoor seating area (about 12 tables, completely empty to keep them safe from the sun only to be told we could not sit there as told the counter we would sit outside. Fair enough but we would have happily paid a bit extra to sit inside if given the option. Total lack of understanding or sympathy from the staff. Surely a bit of leniency and a pragmatic approach needed here! Worse was to come, when my cheese wrap arrived with just cheese inside a wrap and not the salad and onion marmalade it was supposed to come with as written on the menu, I went to point this out but was met with total rudeness from the young girl behind the food counter who made it out to be my fault for not asking for the other items (even denying they were even on the menu! . I eventually got the salad (didn't take long! but no apology. She clearly needs to be taught who the paying customers are and some lessons in manners wouldn't go amiss either. Being very busy is no excuse.
