The Best Cafes in Padfield, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

I had an overall great experience at Distant Hills brewing. The menu is reassuringly limited to one page of options, of which everything I tasted was of sublime quality. I would like to give a special shout-out to the pave potatoes with pesto mayonnaise, because they were absolutely perfect: spot-on consistency and taste. The steak was beautifully cooked and seasoned, and the peppercorn sauce was the best I've had, very peppery and balanced. Additionally, the lamb arancini, focaccia and courgette spears were all extremely tasty too. I have tried quite a large portion of the menu but I am looking forward to going back and I'm sure everything else will be just as great. The atmosphere is very cosy and inviting, and the staff were really lovely.

Incredible food. I didn’t expect it to be quite as good to be honest, but my expectations were well and truly surpassed. A friend and I ordered the pâté, chicken wings, chips, mac n’ cheese and crispy beef. The crispy beef was just incredible, so chunky and thick with a great coating. 10/10 would recommend.

After a long walk this is a real haven! At the time of the visit it was quiet, but the staff were lovely & friendly, chef in the kitchen was great to see & the food we ate was excellent! Cask beer choice is excellent & several pints later well enjoyed. Well worth finding!

This place is an absolute gem of a find laid back atmosphere with amazing food. The sticky toffee pudding is the best we’ve ever had. An absolute must if visiting Glossop

Good venue, hard to find from the highstreet ( well hidden ), but once inside it's a nice space to spend a couple of hours. Food is a bit on the expensive side but the quality and the services is good. We've tried the main menu and the Sunday roast so far and both are good options. Friendly attentive staff, good beers on tap and some nice seasonal drinks too. Recommended.

We had a lovely meal at The Two Hares after a long day of walking in the peaks and we were so glad we did. We found it through a quick google search, called at 8:10pm and were sat and served by 8:40pm. The staff were lovely and polite, the menu was concise but we were still spoilt for choice, the service was quick and the food was great (they even had a great veggie menu too!) Thanks for a lovely evening 😊

An excellent Sunday lunch today for four close friends. We had starters of scallops with tempura King prawns, and asparagus. Mains were roast beef and pork belly, with all the trimmings. We drank Malbec and had coffees. First rate cooking and service, in a very pleasant atmosphere. Much to recommend

Tucked away from the main street this little gem is definitely worth a visit. Tastefull decor, spacious and a relaxing cosy environment with friendly staff. The food is the star though, top quality ingredients cooked with technical prowess, ample portion size and reflective and reasonable price.

Fantastic cafe. Deffinatly worthy of the 5stars. Friendly staff. Lovely food even bought some nice bread to take away. Well worth a visit. Very good value for money. Can get busy at lunch times. We had two jacket potatoes lovely.

A beautiful little gem on the Main Street of Glossop ! Cakes are amazing and I am sure the food it ! Staff are top notch 10/10 ! Beautiful seating and I had a banging hot chocolate!

What a fantastic place this is! The food is excellent and the staff are really lovely too, they have an amazing selection of cakes, and the pot of tea we had was also lovely! It's fog friendly and the man behind the counter was really good with our dog :) I can highly recommend this place to everyone especially if you have a pooch!

Good coffee, tasty cakes, fast and friendly service, no wonder this place is popular.

When I hear it's £10 on the phone as a backpacker it's like music to my ears. The field is massive with several benches which I was told you can move around to your liking. Facilities were spotless. The showers cost 20p per 2mins and are hot. I spoke to several women staff, they were all helpful and friendly, thank you.

Fantastic friendly and relaxed campsite - Clean facilities (dont forget your 20ps for the showers), helpful and knowledgeable staff. Only lost a star for the food - which was freshly cooked and well priced but would have loved to see local produce on the menu! Cade is also a brilliant artist and his work would be an amazing addition to the beautiful "Cow Shed" cafe! Animals were amazing - friendly peacocks, horses and Meg with her poorly leg! Absolutley stunning views - will definatley come back! Thanks guys!! Loads o Love 🌈

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Crossgate Campsite and Café in Tintwistle with my 5-year-old son. Booking was seamless, even last-minute, and we were welcomed so warmly by Deborah over the phone and her son in person. A warm smile and kind character. The site itself is beautiful, set against the stunning backdrop of Arnfield Reservoir and surrounded by peaceful woodland trails and views across the Pennine Bridleway. The facilities are spotlessly maintained, and the on-site café was a lovely touch, serving great food and drinks. One of the highlights for my son was seeing the beautiful peahen and majestic peacock wandering gracefully around the site. A truly magical touch for children and adults alike! We haven't left yet and are already looking forward to returning soon with my fiancée and our younger daughter. To show them this genuinely special place we’re so glad to have discovered. Highly recommended! Thank you ! Fraser & Xavier

My third time here and definitely won't be the last. Food is fresh and delicious, friendly staff. My favourite spot for breakfast in Glossop by far. Hubby loves it too. Took a piece of cheesecake home to try as we heard it's to die for.

As a Turkish I definitely recommend this place, had a a Turkish coffee first and it was very well made, then had Turkish Breakfast for 2, avocado toast with poached eggs, cilbir, humus&pastrami. All were very delicious and the place is very cozy. You MUST try the borek with cheese and spinach, i think it’s my favourite so far. (I didn’t eat them alone with 2 more friends x)

We had a quick stop here and were very happy with the friendly service and food. A regular coffee was still a generous size. Everything was beautifully presented and our order came quickly. Several vegan options. A pretty, calm space too. Breakfast served till 3pm when we enquired today (Sunday) in case you're looking for somewhere that serves it later.

Lovely little Turkish coffee shop. Just stopped by for drinks but will get the breakfast next time, it looked great. Flat White was tasty, strong coffee, not too much milk. The Turkish coffee was authentic. The staff were very friendly. Dog friendly place

Top marks! Tasty vegan food, extensive menu. The owners are friendly and clearly care about vegan food. Scrambled tofu on toast with avocado was very good and the salad was fresh. Recommend the strawberry ice tea, not too sweet and tasted freshly made. About 20 seats mainly in pairs and fours. The whole menu is available for take out too. Lots of leaflets about local events. Make a visit!

Popped in for a quick drink and a pud—both were lovely! Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Such a cute little café with a good, healthy vegan menu to choose from. Definitely worth a visit!

I actually don’t know where to start with this review and that’s a first , from stepping thought the door you feel welcomed into this Family run establishment Their ethos and passion about plant based food is second to none and the name truly represents how the food makes you feel inside and out It’s so rare to come across a Whole food place specifically for vegans and this gem in Glossop needs more attention Everything is homemade and I was able to customise dishes and the outcome was sensational From a superfood shake , scrambled tofu bagel and finished with a delicious smoothie bowl as the weather was lovely I couldn’t resist taking some of their energy balls away too and got to try dehydrated Mushroom crisp and Coconut cluster They do themselves The variety and abundance of colour on your plate shows the benefits , I could of stayed in their for hours talking and eating my way through the menu I wish I lived closer as I would be a regular for sure and already planning to return

Came here and enjoyed a delicious snoothie and a budda bowl. They catered for a severe dairy allergy. Went above and beyond. The service was really good and quick. Staff are helpful, Friendly and can see this is their passion. This shows in the high quality food and drinks.. mine was delicious. There's a nice atmosphere: good music and comfortable seating. Really enjoyed it. Would highly recommend a visit here. Thanks again.

What a star Lindsay is. She made me cheese & onion pies & meat & potato pies of a 70th party at my dad's. Everyone commented on how nice and homemade they were. It was no trouble for Lindsay to cater for us. And the price was right 😊👍 Would definitely recommend & use again. Oh, and the gluten-free brownies that she makes are to die for. (My daughter word).

A very lovely village cafe. Highly recommend a visit. We’ve had homemade birthday cakes and their beautiful Christmas cupcakes are now a tradition in our house ❤️

Great little place with bags of character, lots of options, great service and fresh tasty food.

I love coming here for a breather by myself or with my little boy. He absolutely loves it, Lindsay is a gem and her food is delicious. The freshly made milkshakes go down a treat with my boy, the tea is spot on and the hot food is always tasty. There are lots of walks in the area so it's a great place to start or finish at.

Nice cozy place with outdoor seats. Friendly owner!

Love getting a breakfast from here. Nice cafe with a friendly vibe and great service- my favourite place to go for breakfast!

Lovely place friendly staff. Shame they can't afford to continue in business.

Had the carvery which was very tasty

A dog friendly and cute little café with amazing service. Enjoyed our tea and lunch here after a good dog walk at Manor Park. There was great music playing in the background. Halloumi burger and cheese and onion sandwiches were very tasty indeed, and they have plenty of great cakes as well.

Lovely family run business, my go-to cafe on a bike ride. They always top up my bottle! Top notch food and cakes, proper coffee, Spotlessly clean with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and a character chef 👨‍🍳

Fantastic food, reasonably priced and nice coffee. Great little find - good small menu and very generous portions.

Great shop. The lad making the food Will was so nice and respectful can tell he put a lot of effort into it . Highly recommend servers were also great

The cafe here is definitely worth a visit with it's selection of cafe faves at a great price for what you get; and the quality. There's a selection of breakfast, ice-creams, cakes and hot or cold beverage with the option of dairy alternatives. The location setting is in the hills with a cracking view, it's great for walkers and even better they allow your furry friends and have a doggy menu. There's also a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The garden centre on the other hand is meh 😕, worth a browse as there are a few good buys, but overall I found what I would've bought pretty well overpriced eg. the hanging baskets and house plants. I would have given a huge 5 stars for the cafe but I have given a 4 due to the garden centre side.

Lovely view of the cafe at the top hill. Meals are affordable. Nicely decorated cafe. Staffs are friendly and ready to give a smile. Highly recommend place whilst exploring the highland moors.

We drop into the cafe irregularly. It's often quit busy but never failed to get a seat. Coffee is good as is the food, sandwiches, panini etc. Service has always been good and friendly Garden centre is well stocked and at good prices

Lovely staff and owners, on this occasion only called in for some lunch and a chat with Guy, one of the owners who's an old school friend. The cafe is lovely with a warm friendly welcome and a good menu with enough choices to please everyone, plenty of informal seating and a nice open fire.. Previous visits I've purchased garden bits and bobs, the choice is good and priced very reasonably. Can't beat its location too, very scenic.
