Very nice place to visit this is my second visit in a week, the afternoon food is better than the breakfast but that is still very good. The staff ar helpful and friendly, the place gets very busy and you are asked if you have booked a table when you arrive so my suggestion is always try to book ahead before your visit. The afternoon we went the pie was amazing it is on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for and the flavour and presentation was awesome. We also had the wrap and soup deal again on the pricey side but this was also fresh and very tasty. The paddock also sits inside Derby House which is great for some retail therapy for those little things you just need, great butchers too and for those extra special bits needed for a dinner date it's a must visit but do take your credit card as prices are high due to the quality on offer

First visit to The Paddock and very impressed. Staff were helpful and attentive. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and cooked to my liking. Sausages were the best I've had in a long time! Latte coffee was very good, too! Will definitely be returning for another visit.

I can't speak highly enough of Annalise and the incredible service she provides at The Paddock. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel genuinely welcome, greeting us with a warm smile and a friendly attitude that instantly put us at ease. It’s clear that she truly enjoys what she does, and that enthusiasm shines through in the way she interacts with customers. Throughout our visit, Annalise was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at just the right moments to ensure we had everything we needed. She offered excellent recommendations, demonstrating a real knowledge of the menu, and went out of her way to accommodate any special requests. It’s rare to find someone who balances efficiency with such a personal touch, but Annalise does it effortlessly. Not only was the service outstanding, but she also created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. It’s that kind of exceptional customer service that keeps people coming back. If you’re visiting The Paddock, you’ll be lucky to have Annalise looking after you—I know I’ll definitely be returning!

Spacious, bright cafe and friendly staff. Lovely decaf latte (nice and mild). Halloumi flatbread was tasty. Sticky toffee pudding was very nice. Nice shop too selling gifts, cards, clothes, shoes and perfumes. Large car park. No problem getting a table mid week afternoon.
