"When we visited, it was a nice sunny day and there was a short queue for getting coffee. I originally thought they this was a good sign. The place must be popular for a good reason. The small queue however took ages to move. I actually found out that it was because there was only one girl doing the till, sorting the cakes and making the coffee. No wonder it was took forever. It seemed like a disorganised mess. We managed to get one of our coffees made to order, but they had trouble making the second one with almond milk. It is 2022 all these different milk types are pretty standard in most cafes now and shouldn't be a big deal. It is something that the cafe say they offer, but this seemed to be a huge challenge for them. The almond milk coffee was brought to us a full 10 minutes after the other one was (no exaggeration). The first coffee was getting cold by the time we got the second one. The coffee was genuinely the worst I have tasted in a while. If you like coffee to taste like anything other than hot water, then this is not a place to visit. Unfortunately the place reminded me more of an old ‘tuck shop’ selling packets of crisps and tasteless vending machine coffee, rather than a nice cafe. Sorry for the bad review, but we were very disappointing. On a separate note, the young girl behind the counter (the one doing everything) was really nice and friendly."

Called in Today and had Quiche. It was the best I have ever tasted. Well Worth a Visit. A regular stop off on our dog walks in future.

We got excited seeing vegan milkshake and coffee on the menu but the coffee was really weak instant coffee and the regular milkshake they served us was barely a third full. Not impressed.

This is now a lovely place to stop for lunch, had a beautiful veggie breakfast this lunch, pipping hot, well cooked and presented. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. They follow the covid cleaning rules and smile while they work. Going again View menu

After taking my dogs for a walk around Shipley Country Park on a chilly day, we stopped at Derby Lodge Cafe. While it wasn't crowded, there was only one coffee machine causing a wait for many customers, leading some to leave. However, the coffee was worth the wait when it finally arrived. I also ordered toasted teacakes which were absolutely delicious.

This charming cafe is a wonderful addition to Shipley country park. The food and drinks are delicious, and the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, which is rare to find these days. The scones and cakes are fantastic, and everything is reasonably priced. After experiencing multiple changes and closures over the years, the current owners are truly exceptional. Outstanding.

My friends and I visited this restaurant on a cold day in January. There are tables outside, but orders and payments are taken inside. Initially, we were not expecting much as the building appeared a bit worn down. However, we were pleasantly surprised. We all ordered toasties, and mine was the best I have had in years. The prices were very affordable, and the service was friendly. The staff member who brought our food was charming. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. View menu

We only popped in for a quick drink on our walk round the top end of the park Excellent pot of tea for me and no complaints from husband regarding his flat white coffee We couldn't resist a slice of lemon cake too. Very lemony and very light. I could have managed another one Charming and helpful young lady behind the counter couldn't have looked after us any better Best of all was the garden.Quiet apart from birdsong with big tables and a choice of sunny or shady seats. What more could we want? I'll tell you A bigger appetite. We shall return

As if Shipley Park isn 't lovely enough there is also this rather nice eatery to visit as well! Only visitable on foot as disabled parking only. Nicely decorated, very homely inside, dog friendly, outdoor seating as well with some tables overlooking the park. Just a 'snack stop ' to ward off hungry teenagers this visit. Great to see a good few veggie/vegan options on the menu just had to try the vegan sausage rolls, they didn 't disappoint. And can recommend the 'proper ' homemade chips as well. Drinks all good. Staff friendly, obviously happy in their work. Left wanting to return and try other items always a good sign.
