I'd give you five stars for the food quality, location and staff. But the food display counter doesn't give prices so you have to ask.

An Exceptional Experience ? Heartfelt Thanks to Rachel!
We visited The Refreshment Room in Millers Dale last week with our family, including my 89-year-old grandfather. The setting was beautiful, the refreshments delightful, and the atmosphere welcoming ? a perfect countryside stop during our day out near Buxton.
After returning home (quite a distance away), we realised that my grandfather had accidentally left his glasses behind at the café. He was very worried, and we weren?t sure how to go about retrieving them.
I decided to call the number listed on Google Maps, and that?s when we encountered the true kindness and humanity behind this wonderful place. A lovely lady named Rachel answered the phone, took the time to look for the glasses herself, found them, and ? without hesitation ? offered to post them back to us. She even refused to accept any payment for the postage.
In a world where such thoughtful gestures can often feel rare, Rachel?s kindness truly stood out. It meant the world to my grandfather and to all of us as a family.
We are deeply grateful and wish Rachel and The Refreshment Room continued success, prosperity, and happiness. Your kindness will not be forgotten ? thank you once again for going above and beyond!

An Absolutely Outstanding Experience at The Refreshment Room!
My recent visit to The Refreshment Room at Millers Dale - Buxton was truly exceptional, not just for the delicious food, but for the incredible kindness and helpfulness of the lady who I spoke to over the phone.
We enjoyed a fantastic meal ? the food was great and perfectly hit the spot after our walk. However, the real highlight of our visit came after we had already left. My grandfather, unfortunately, realized he had left his glasses in the disabled toilet, and we were already a considerable distance from Buxton, having arrived back home.
In a bit of a panic, we contacted The Refreshment Room by phone, explaining our predicament. To our immense relief and gratitude, the lady we spoke to immediately understood the situation. She went above and beyond, promptly finding the glasses, and reassuring us that they were safe with her. What truly touched us was her willingness to then happily post them back to us. This act of genuine generosity saved us a very long and inconvenient journey back.
This lady is truly a gem, and her helpfulness and kindness are a testament to the wonderful people still out there in the world. We are incredibly thankful for her thoughtful assistance. I sincerely hope The Refreshment Room continues to thrive and receives all the success it deserves. It's local businesses like this, run by such compassionate individuals, that truly make a difference. We can't recommend it highly enough!

Got a bit lost on a visit to family, saw a car park and stopped for a loo break... very happy to find electric car charging, vegan sausage rolls and a delicious oat milk latte ?

Went in to ask for tap water for my bike bottle today. Refused and told to use the taps in the toilet.

Stunned to be asked for nearly £8 for one black and one white coffee, served in a paper cup and left at a collection table for me to go and get myself. For half that price ive enjoyed table service by a dishy waiter in the middle of Paris with my coffee in a proper cup + saucer! Not value.

We stopped by for a morning drink today, our hot drinks were great and the piece of rocky road we shared was one of the best pieces we?ve ever had! Very warm and welcoming inside too :)
