Lovely cafe in Markeaton Park and can take our dog

Nice cafe in the park. The sausage sandwich was nice with decent sausages. Unfortunately they had run out of eggs when we visited at about 11am. Nice to sit outside in the sun but also pleasant inside.

Stopped for a cup of tea this morning. Feeling a bit peckish but not wanting anything substantial. I opted for the home made soup which was Tomato and Basil with whole meal bread and butter. Really pleasantly surprised as the soup was really thick and chunky, home made not from a can or pre prepared. Delicious and thoroughly good value for £2:50. The rest of the menu looks reasonably priced as well. Will be back again.

Lovely breakfast cobs, we had vegetarian sausage and egg that were super tasty. Warm friendly staff, a very welcome place on a snowy Sunday morning.

We were too late for lunch but were happy to book a coffee and cake, until the lady taking my order decided to just walk off to speak with a member of staff. I was halfway through saying my order and they walked off without an explanation, no be right back, or apology. The two severs who saw it happen looked mortified until one of them assured me they would take over. The offending member of staff came back a moment later and still offered no apology or acknowledgment. Next time we won?t be bothering with the cafe - there?s a McDonald?s down the round.

Nice little cafe, food reasonably priced and served quickly. Food was nice. We had a cheese and onion filled panini. Hot chocolate was lovely on a cold day.

I don't like the fact I paid £3.20 for a latte, and the coffee part was premade in a travel mug, and hot milk was added. For me, this isn't freshly made. How long had it been there. There was a young lad trying to help, and was barked at, by the lady with blonde hair.We paid £23 for 2 lattes, 2 cans of pop, 1 cookie, 1 brownie and Victoria cake. It was like Costa prices, but without the Costa service or freshness. The orangery is such an old establishment, and I feel the plastic table covers does it no justice.

Must have waited 15 minutes to give my order. Only one family jn front of me with a huge shipping order that the owner then went through again with them to check. About 4 staff just hanging around doing nothing. Why couldn't one of them.have taken my order for two coffees? Totally disorganised and overpriced. Won't be rushing back.

Awful experience today with a friend and children. I had gone previously 2 days before and noticed how rude the lady at the till was speaking to both staff and customers.Today myself and friend had thought we had ordered the hotdog for kids. When it came, it was the wrong order, there had been confusion, the gentleman sent the food back and seemed confused on what to do next, 5 minutes later the very abrupt lady at the till came over and shouted at us saying that it was our fault that we had ordered the wrong hot dog. We explained that we hadn?t noticed there were two sorts the ?jumbo? and ?kids?- we weren?t asked to clarify when ordering- we said it was no prokblem and we would accept the food- the lady was practically shouting at us, the restaurant went quiet and we felt very embarrassed. After this, I opened up the hot dog to then find a blonde hair, (noting that it was clear in the kitchens no hair nets were worn) this completely put us off and I asked to speak to the manager. The manager came over and accepted that the food was not at an acceptable standard and she would take this back with a refund of 2 hot dogs (out of 5), she also said that the children could have an ice cream out of good will. The young lady who had taken over at the till had no idea what she was doing, had to keep going back to question what to do.We then we?re ready to leave after an eventful experience, when a lady came up to me with brown hair and 2 small buns with an abrupt tone ?can you move the tables where they were please.? (We had moved the table over slightly as it was a very hot day and the sun was causing distress for the children with no other tables available). Myself and friend are both 20 and 30 weeks pregnant, couldn?t believe how rude we had been spoke to. Absolutely put off this place for life and will not be going back nor will I be recommending! Will be sticking to the mobile ice cream man in future!!!!

Food is basic, but doesnt need to be anything else, a good choice for children, tables in and outside. Friendly staff.

The staff are so so rude! I paid for my food and the woman at the till was so inpatient with me inputting my pin for my card, such a rude manner. We had ordered food, which with a misunderstanding the order came and it was incorrect. There was a lad who served us our food and we explained it?s not what we had ordered and he explained he wasn?t sure what to do so went back to the kitchen. The woman who served us at the till came over to us shouting, the whole cafe went quiet and we?re watching, so embarrassing!! I told the woman it?s fine we will keep the food, however when we went to eat the hot dogs, they were cold, and my friend then found a blonde hair in her hotdog (none of the staff were wearing hair nets, all of them had long hair and were messing with it) in the end we asked to speak to the manager, who gave us a refund for the 2 hotdogs, and explained the children could have an ice cream, when my son opened his ice lolly, it was spilt it half so when asked if this can be changed, she firstly said she?ll put it in a tub for him (who wants to eat an ice lolly out of a tub?!) so rude with the situation. The woman did replace the ice lolly but she didn?t seem very happy or willing. As we were leaving, another member of staff asked my friend to put the table back to how it was (we moved it slightly as the sun was coming through the window into the children?s eyes) me and my friend are both very far gone in pregnancy and this is something we did not need! I will definitely not be returning, and I think this cafe needs A LOT of improvements! My friend had been here 2 days prior to this, and she had warned me already about the very rude lady at the till! So so so so disappointing to say the least!!
