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

What a charming little café! We stopped for brunch and enjoyed sitting by the log burner, which was incredibly cozy after a cold, windy walk. The food was lovely and the staff were so kind to our dog, spoiling her with treats and water. Thank you!

Warm and welcoming. My coffee was delicious. Cosy atmosphere by the fire with some choice of games that my youngest really enjoyed. Just what we needed after a long journey in the car.

We travelled to the Peak District today to climb Mam Tor at sunrise and visited Rose Cottage following the descent. We called prior to our arrival to check dogs were allowed - not being from the area. We were given a warm welcome and staff were super attentive and friendly! Breakfast was 10/10! Would highly recommend to tourists! Have attached photos although we are fussy eaters so had several items removed from our dishes (of which the team were also very accommodating of).

With so many cafes to choose from in the Peak District I can highly recommend this little gem. The food is beautifully presented and absolutely top notch. 👌 Quite possibly the tastiest English breakfast I've ever had. Great value. Lovely cafe in the heart of Castleton. Seating inside or out. Both road side or gardens. 5 mins walk from the public car park. It is also a gallery and jewellery shop but mostly caters for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The loos were very clean with a very nice modern interior design. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They also do take out coffees and treats.

Love this place, go here regularly..it's more than 5 stars. It's amazing and the food is to die for. So it the white hot chocolate

Lovely place to take your dog for a walk and either have a coffee in the farm shop or visit the restaurant. Peaceful country surroundings. Improvement could be made of the bought in pasties ( too dry). And pumpkin season - although lovely, way over the top pricing compared to supermarkets or markets.

Had a great light lunch here, tasty tea cakes and the ruby hot chocolate was utterly divine. The staff were all lovely and friendly, especially with my young daughter. We had some cakes to take away and they were absolutely delicious- highly recommended! Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Lovely farm shop, tea rooms, glamping pods, and the Annex air BnB, which was a fabulous place to stay!

What an absolute little gem! We were staying in the Peak District and wanted to find a place for breakfast on our way home so stopped in Chesterfield. Absolutely gorgeous cafe/restaurant! Wonderful vibe. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Great choice on the menu. The pancakes were divine! High quality food. Got busy quickly so clearly it's a great place to eat. The cake selection was hard to resist! Highly recommend

Really lovely, cozy cafe - I really loved the atmosphere. There were a good range of options and portion sizes avaliable, and the food was delicious! I had the vegetarian lasagne on the lunch menu which came with garlic bread and a salad. There were a good range of veggie and vegan meals. The staff were all really friendly

Almost finished before I took the picture. Really love this place, nice atmosphere and excellent attention. Cakes are reeeally good. My must when I’m in Chesterfield :)

This is the second time I've been here for breakfast. Fantastic friendly service and delicious food. I had the large cooked breakfast with additional black pudding.

Bass served immaculately..Sat next to the well stocked Wood burner.. What's not to love ❤️

It's A Good Traditional Country pub ,Great Atmosphere Good Selection Beers, Wines And Spirits , Plus Coffee And Soft Drinks , Well Worth a Visit, Cheers 🍻

Wonderful selection of real ales kept to a high standard. Proper old fashioned inn with no fruit machine or juke box. Food is crisps and nuts ect. Friendly atmosphere and staff

Great traditional pub where there are no games machines, televisions, or music and limited mobile signal. Well kept cask ales. A pub with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Where people talk to one another. Only snacks and pork pies.

Hidden inside this pub is a superb South Indian restaurant. Food is amazing and very knowledgeable staff who can advise on the dishes . Before your main comes out you get a smaller taster of the sauce so you can adjust the heat to your liking . It gets very busy and with only a few tables I would advise to book , you won't be disappointed 👍👍👍

Fantastic biker meet, I've been going here since I was a kid, and now I take my son there, great food and a fantastic biker meeting place, every Tuesday.

Went here for bike night for the first time. Travelled down from barnsley. We arrived late and a lot of the food had sold out (we did wanna mug folk for their pie and peas cos it smelt amazing). The lady in the kitchen kindly offered us another pie that had been left over from pie night which was equally as lovely. Staff were friendly and it was very busy with bikes. Prices were great. Drinks were really cheap. We will definitely be back.

Everything I had looked great and tasted decent. Selection was a little limited for me. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Unfortunately the customer seated next to us ruined our experience with a range of poor behaviour. I ignored it in order to not ruin the experience for everyone else.

A nice little farm shop with a cafe! The fish and chips were lovely and the tomato and basil soup was very refreshing. The cakes and hot chocolates are of good quality. The only negatives would be the lack of staff/ wait times. Other than that I’d definitely come again.

Called Monday, early afternoon. Large, easy car park. Look for signs to cafe/shop. Nice farm shop. Good choice at farm shop prices. Noone was in there to ask for advice either on the way in or on the way out.🤷🏼‍♀️ Food looks good quality and it was spotlessly clean. Down a couple of steps to the cafe. It's not wheelchair friendly this way - maybe you could get through the outdoor seating area but check first. Small first floor dining area, larger upstairs and plenty of outdoor tables too. Lovely decor. Plenty of choice of cakes etc - all looked delicious and it wasn't all covered in chocolate! Bonus points for that ( from those of us who have a cocoa intolerance !!) We chose Clementine cake and cherry Bakewell cake, a flat white and a latte. These were brought to the table by the ladies serving. The coffees were hot and a good flavour. The cherry Bakewell was delicious, the Clementine was slightly dry unfortunately. The meals being served to the other tables looked good and a good portion too! Not much was left on their plates at the end either! Always a good sign. The cafe was busy but people were coming and going all the time so free tables were not an issue. It's obviously a popular place to go. The staff were pleasant and constantly busy with serving, paying,clearing tables etc. I can't abide watching staff have a natter whilst floors are dirty! So well done to them👍🏻 Yes, we would go again. Yes, we would recommend others visit.⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a lovely meal in your cafe. Establishments like yours embody what this country once stood for, quality service, friendly and professional staff, quality food at an affordable price. Thank you, all the best for Christmas and the new year For anyone reading this review, it’s the first time that I have visited this cafe and I have no connections with the owners/staff 🤗

Very friendly staff, food is excellent very popular

A very nice welcome always at Clare's cafè, great food at very reasonable price, all the staff always are very helpful and friendly and can never do enough for you... Becoming a goto breakfast visit every week..

This café is a little gem. It's usually only for takeaways and snacks, but today they put on an amazing Christmas spread for our craft group. Special diets were catered for, the meals were lovely and the service great. They even went to the shop across the road and came back with some ice cream especially for me. I call that as being above and beyond. The café is nice and clean inside and we could smell all the lovely things they'd been baking for the take away customers. There's no toilet because it's mostly a place for people to just pop in and buy pastries and cakes, there's no level access, but it's only one step to get up, so it's doable for people who use a walking aid. There were several of us with mobility issues, but we all managed to get in and out ok. There's room for maybe 2 cars to park right outside the door and there's on street parking available nearby. We all had a lovely time and will definitely be going here again. I heartily recommend this café.

Great bacon sandwich and very reasonable too. I'm going back for the breakfast - looks amazing value compared to many other local cafes.

Second time coming here and I can’t say a bad word. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I asked the waitress about a sauce if it was spicy or not and she got me a small amount to try before I had it on my dish, which I thought was really lovely. She was so kind and polite throughout our whole visit. The food was absolutely delicious one of the best tear ‘n’ shares we’ve had in a long time. The loaded chips are to die for, we just had eyes bigger than our bellies and ended up having the rest to go as the portions were massive! Cant wait to come back again and hopefully be able to try the desserts! Thank you to all the staff for making it such a pleasant experience.

we were a large company, what we ordered was brought to us, but different name were announced, so there was a little confusion on the part of the staff, a lot of staff but little sense, we had to grab the staff to give tous drinks or foods, we were not very satisfied with the service. they also got confused with the payment

The highlight of our anniversary trip away and we’re already planning our next visit! We came to the Devonshire on the first night of our stay away in the neighbouring town of Bolsover - it had good reviews and was only a short drive, so we took our chance. When we arrived it was very busy, so we didn’t think we’d get in. We politely asked the front of house staff whether there was room for two, to which we were told there was and we were very quickly seated. The staff were very friendly and were very attentive - especially considering we hadn’t made a reservation and was placed away from the main dining hall. We ordered from their festive menu - a Christmas dinner and a festive loaded fries - and in no time at all they were placed on our table. It, honestly, couldn’t have been longer than 20 minutes for our food to be ordered and on the table. The Christmas dinner was beautifully presented with delicious turkey, and the portion sizes were generous - the loaded fries could have fed a small army! It was the perfect meals for a long day of driving and walking. We were very full after our mains, but there’s always a second stomach for dessert! We ordered a brownie (which we got to share, begrudgingly), it was a generous slice topped with chocolate bar chunks and a honeycomb and caramel ice cream. The ice cream was perfectly scooped and was absolutely delicious with the brownie - I would highly recommend it, even to share if you were as full up as we were! We thought the food was incredible value for money and the staff were absolutely amazing, we can’t wait to come back in the new year on our next trip! Highly recommend if you’re visiting close by and need a much needed feed after a day of walking.

Absolutely fantastic. As we walked through the door, we were greeted by the lovely lady behind the bar. She made us feel welcome and at home whilst we waited for our table. Some of the waiting staff were very young on our visit, but they were all brilliant at their job. Nothing was too much and we were served with a smile. As for the food... oh my gosh! Delicious. We can't wait to visit again.

One of the best salads I have had in a really long time, a true rainbow and really fresh flavourful ingredients. Generous portions too, and great value with the meal deal. Such a lovely atmosphere and the new manager is lovely and was happy to work around my husband’s dietary requirements. So yum!!

I've been going to Qoozies for years & always enjoyed it. The staff have always been very friendly & are happy to talk about the food & drink to try & temp you with something. I mainly have their milkshakes, regular & the amazing loaded freakshakes (can't remember if that's the name) I've always enjoyed them. Walked passed the other day & saw the advert for their Cheesecake Dreamshake. I HAD TO have that. Lemon cheesecake on top of squirty cream & then vanilla milkshake in a glass jar on a slate heart with heart love sweets. A great trendy place. They also do Bluelight NHS discount too, Thank you ❤️

Lovely service and lovely food! The staff were so kind and you could alter your order pretty much any way that you wanted. We had two of the toasties and the homemade juices and they were lovely - not too expensive either! Definitely want to go again~

Lovely staff and owner. Great food and drinks. Ordered a chicken burger for my daughter but didn't realise it wasn't a bread bun so she wouldn't eat it, mum to the rescue and swapped my cheese and ham panini with the burger and it was lovely. (It does say on the menu what it was but i didnt read that bit lol) Pancake was soo nice and filling. Meal deal for £10 will come again
