My daughter treated me to afternoon tea, wow was not disappointed, the staff were so friendly, the food was so delicious, couldn’t eat all the desserts so a lovely lady put the in beautiful boxes for us to take with us , will definitely come again.

My spouse and I were treated to Afternoon Tea for our anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The staff was delightful, the restaurant was stunning, and most importantly, the food was exceptional. We would definitely recommend it!

First class service, we were on the British Pullman and a visit to chatsworth house. We arrived on a wet and windy day, the house was ok but I was cold. Came into the restaurant and asked if I could simply have a bottle of wine. Kath was so amazing. So helpful and friendly. Even arranged for a birthday platter for the hubby! Thank you x x

Wonderful afternoon tea at the Cavendish. We attended as an early Mother’s Day treat. The food was excellent and plentiful (men won’t be left hungry! and the staff were incredibly attentive, making sure we tried lots of different teas. The setting is so pretty and compliments the beautiful Wedgwood tea sets. Would absolutely go again. If you live in the midlands and want a fabulous afternoon tea, head to the Cavendish, you won’t be disappointed!

I celebrated a birthday with afternoon tea at this restaurant. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being too much. The food was delicious, and we had leftovers which the staff kindly boxed up for us to take home. The atmosphere of the restaurant was peaceful and had a nice ambiance, allowing us to enjoy our meal while watching the heavy rain outside. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. While it may be a bit pricey, it's worth it if you can afford it.

The Cavendish is the smarter of the dining options available at Chatsworth, it enjoys a nice setting in the former stables has been well modified decorated. Service was a delight. You can only book a table if you are having Afternoon Tea, priced at a whopping £45 per person, but we managed to get a walk-in table for lunch. Food didn't thrill. Their sandwiches are made with unbuttered doorstep thick bread, so are were rather dry tasteless. My honey, blue cheese walnut salad had neither blue cheese or walnuts in it!!

We decided to book afternoon tea during our visit to the opening day of Chatsworth Christmas Market. Afternoon tea at the Cavendish is outstanding and even better at this time of year with the magic of Christmas and stunning decorations. The new afternoon tea was launched yesterday and was superb, from the soup to start, the sorbet in between courses, the sandwiches and cakes. The peach tea was a great choice of tea for me. The Cavendish is small and intimate and the spacing of the tables well thought out. To top off a lovely afternoon, there was a quartet playing in the market as we walked through to leave. We will be back at the Cavendish soon.

Very busy outside in the courtyard of Chatsworth House today, kiddies and families with pups enjoying the sun but we wanted a bit of a treat so DH had booked the Cavendish restaurant for lunch. Going in it was a different world! quiet, serene, smoothly organised and luxurious...perfect tbh. A lovely table by the window was offered and drinks soon brought. Delicious fresh bread with a selection of flavored butters all good) was followed by one of the best lunches. I had fresh delicious pea soup with lemon cream drizzle followed by a huge main of smoked haddock/prosciutto roulade and layered potatoes with a lemon cream sauce so light I was forced to eat the lot! DH had Gravlax and rhubarb star...

Visited today to celebrate my Mum’s 60th birthday. We were a party of 4 and a high standard was set from the start. The door was opened to us on approach, the hostess greeting us with a polite smile and seating us promptly. Our coats were whisked away, and we were presented with beautiful menus and advised how the afternoon tea would proceed (spoiler the food is not all presented at once… it takes a good couple of hours! , and were shown a list of available loose leaf teas to choose from at our leisure. We opted to splurge and upgrade to the Champagne Afternoon tea, since we were celebrating a significant birthday for my Mum, and warned our wonderful waitress Angela that we would be asking h...
