Cafe In The Park - Carta

What a lovely place. Great food, great service and fab coffee. Such a find and a regular spot. Try the homily pie, or the sausage and bacon bap. Personal favourites!!

We always pop in for lunch when we are in Matlock. The sandwiches are very good with a variety of options available. The ingredients are high quality and made to order.

Popped in en route to our first family holiday, gorgeous setting in the park and the food was fantastic. We had the ploughmans for two which was delicious and great value for money. Very family and dog friendly! Ver carta

We called in at the end of a local walk and were delighted by the choice and quality of the food on offer .My partner had a baked potato with cheddar cheese and salad and I had a breakfast bacon sandwich both excellent .We were only sorry that we discovered this place on the last day of our holiday !

Turned up at 11:10 and noticed that they stopped serving breakfast at 11:30. Decided what food we would have and started queuing at 11:15. Got to the front of the queue at 11:32, we were told breakfast ended at 11:30. Explained we had queued for some time and we were the only ones left in the queue. They didn’t care. It looked nice…… pity!

We have been a regular visitor to the cafe over the years and when the new owners took over a few years ago it has gone to a different level Good honest food at a fair price not “ Ego Ronny’s but home cooked proper grub . Personally I love the veg curry but there are lots more goodies available my only problem is now I have written this review more people will want to visit our little getaway in the park . Ver carta

The coffee was lovely. The beef lasagne was confusing at best. The pasta had the consistency of mashed potato, and the lasagne was cold in the middle. I’ve never had the experience of beef russian roulette, but every forkful was a surprise. I didn’t send it back, as I didn’t want to bother the staff who looked like they’d rather be anywhere else. The apple pie was brilliant though. Overall, a place I’d come back to for drinks, but not for food.

I absolutely love cafe in the park. I’m happy every time I come in for a cuppa and a coke or lunch. Everyone who works there is amazing. Today though was the absolute best. I had the turkey, bacon, cheese and cranberry stack with pigs in blankets and it was (chefs kiss) perfect. My mother in law had the turkey and stuffing ciabatta, with pigs in blankets, roast potatoes and gravy and said the exact same thing. I know what I’m having for lunch next Wednesday.

Visited on the recommendation of a friend so decided to try it rather than our usual eatery in Matlock. It was ok, food was tasty (we all had ciabatta’s) but randomly my salad garnish was half the size of everyone else’s. No big deal but it looked like it had come out unfinished. The table next to us had a ploughman’s platter and afternoon tea which looked delicious. The crockery was stained (the first cup the server gave us was filthy and she quickly exchanged it) and the cutlery had leftover food bits on it so we had to give it a good wipe over with napkins before using it. The place itself needs a spring clean, the ceiling lighting has big cobwebs hanging from it. The cafe was busy and th... Ver carta
