This was our first time dining here as we normally have our dogs with us. What a lovely place to have lunch. Nice views out into the courtyard. Value for money was very good. Food was well presented and very tasty. Our server was polite and courteous. It does seem that most of daytime food is for the High Tea. There was a good age range of people dining who’s is always nice to see. Would I recommend The Cavendish, yes, definitely for the lunch. The only thing that did not please me was when I called in to make a reservation, I was out walking my dogs, the lady taking the booking looked at me and there was a definite pause before she looked at booking schedule, almost as if to insinuate I couldn’t afford to eat there.

3 course lunch or afternoon tea at £49…the lunch worked for us. Lovely location, nice staff and very tasty food. Taken with a large glass of Rose - perfect. You can choose 2 courses for £37.50.

My son and daughter-in-law treated me to a visit to Chatsworth House, followed by Afternoon Tea at The Cavendish for my birthday - both were fabulous, and I thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The Cavendish Restaurant is gorgeously decorated, the food was delicious, and service was excellent. I had the vegetarian option, and was really impressed with the quality and flavours. My son and daughter-in-law also enjoyed their non vegetarian afternoon tea. There was plenty of food, in fact there was so much we ended up taking some home with us. Wonderful dining experience and I would highly recommend booking here.

During our recent visit to the restaurant, we had the afternoon tea for three individuals. However, upon arrival, we discovered that we had inadvertently forgotten our vouchers. Despite presenting an email and photographic evidence of the tickets, we were told to pay the full amount and subsequently incur additional expenses for recorded delivery to return the vouchers, thereby seeking a full refund. In comparison to our previous visit, the tea selection this time was significantly less than half. Notably, we were provided with standard white teapots, last time being more decorative, identical to the cups. While these observations may be considered minor, the culinary offerings were exceptional, and we found no aspect of the afternoon tea that we would wish to alter. Nevertheless, we acknowledge that the restaurant has room for improvement in certain areas.

Absolutely lovely experience. I was traveling solo to visit the Chatsworth House Christmas market and tour the house to see decorations during the holidays. So glad that I scheduled an afternoon tea for myself. Food and atmosphere were absolutely wonderful, and the staff was terrific. As a solo traveler, I truly appreciate the staff being so warm and welcoming. Extremely reasonable price, too, for a great, festive holiday experience.
