1. Beehive Honey Pot Tea Rooms

To say I've visited the Honey Pot Tea Rooms a few times would be a lie....hubby and I virtually live here. Having my own business in the same road doesn't help my waistband either, so you'll often find myself or my clients meandering up the road for a slice of cake and a coffee. But in all seriousness, what a gem in the Derbyshire countryside, Sonja and her lovely team are just superstars, nothing is ever a problem and they always give service with a smile. The standard and size of the breakfasts are amazing and so too are the stunning cakes!! (...omg the cakes) This as good as it gets for a quick bite to eat or just a cuppa with a (huge) slice of cake, you really can't find many places quite so close with such great and authentic service!

4. Matlock Meadows Coffee Shop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 172 reviews
Matlock Meadows is a modern purpose built ice cream parlour and coffee shop set within a working dairy farm. The farm has diversified by making italian style hand made ice cream here on the farm using the fresh milk from our dairy herd. The coffee shop serves 15 flavours of ice cream, also sorbet's, ice cream sundaes, a range of hot and cold drinks and snacks, giftware and local produce. We have a small outdoor play area and in the adjacent field and barn we have a micro pig, sheep, chickens, cows and calves. We are a real working dairy farm rather than a major visitor attraction. We do not charge any entrance fees and therefore rely on the income generated from the shop sales to maintain our facilities which include outside play area, free car parking, toilets, and baby changing. The farm has disabled access and facilites and can accommodate educational group/school visits also childrens birthday parties.

We found this place by pure accident, but what a find it was!! I thought we were rocking up just for a bit of ice cream, but there is so much more to it, even with the Coronavirus restrictions in place. First thing to mention. It is free to enter. There's no obligation to buy anything, but if you don't it means you're far too stingy and lack of spending in these places risks losing them. And these kind of places NEED keeping. We headed straight in for a bit of ice cream, despite it being a cold day. We were spoilt for choice with the flavours, but also with how we had it. I elected for an Easter egg sundae, which worked really well with the ice cream served in half a chocolate egg. Much better than a cone!! I bought some food for the animals and headed outside to eat my own food before treating the pig, sheep, goats and bulls. There were plenty of places to sit, but being a kid, I was too excited to stay still. Once we had finished our food, my son and niece went to play on the awesome play park and I went around the friendly animals feeding them. OK, now here's the bit where we need to keep these kind of places: I headed back in to the shop to ask where the cows were, as I had only seen the bulls. I was greeted by the lovely wife of the farmer who offered a really detailed and comprehensive run through of how the farm worked, some of the plans they have for the future (such as a viewing platform for the cows being milked!!) and some of the difficulties dairy farmers face. This was so education, even for a person as old as me. I cannot wait to return when they are fully open as I believe the rest of my family would benefit from some hands-on knowledge of where their milk comes from. On to the only slight negative and even then it isn't the worst thing in the world - parking. There just isn't all that much room and I don't know the area well enough to park off-site and walk through. I wouldn't want to see any of the play areas or paddocks taken away, but I think for these guys to really succeed with their visitors they will need to take a look at it. Don't let that put you off though. Get to see these guys, interact with the animals and enjoy a working farm that is a real gem!

Came here for Sunday lunch for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. The staff were very welcoming and wearing masks and the tables were all a good distance apart. Had a roast beef dinner and it was delicious. There were 2 huge big slices of thick beef, a Yorkshire pudding and 3 roasties which were brought to the table ready plated then dishes of glazed carrots, green beans and cauliflower cheese and gravy. They provided an extra Yorkshire for my 2 year old granddaughter and happily topped up the gravy boat when asked. Mu husband managed a pudding which was chocolate sponge with a dark chocolate sauce and tiramisu ice cream which my grand daughter found also complimented her bowl of ice cream nicely too! We all agreed this was the best Sunday lunch we have had for a long time with lovely views over the golf course to enjoy. We’ll definitely be returning

We love MRA. It is great to find somewhere all ages can go and join in. It is so hard to find places that teens can go as well as younger ones. Rollerskating is a dangerous hobby, there is a chance you might fall, that would happen regardless of the venue. MRA offer protection if you want it, just ask, as the staff are always helpful. The dogs are so well behaved and very cute. Roller lessons are great too. The only thing we would change is more skating times!!
