The Pudding Room - Derbyshire Dales

So I haven’t actually gotten my food yet but, I ordered through Uber eats and because the restaurant delivers it themselves it does let you track the order as you normally would so I decided to call, and even though it was only maybe a 5 minute call the person I spoke too (I didn’t catch the name) was absolutely amazing with me, I often go through brain fart moments where I just lose complete track of thought, and I am also autistic so I really struggle talking to people anyway as I get really nervous, but they gave me my chance to think about what I was saying and was patient with me, and helped me with what I needed, and I appreciate it so much, like I isad I haven’t got the food yet as this was only 5 minutes ago but I can already tell it’s going to be great, to whoever you are thankyou so much, I know you probably don’t think you did a lot but from my past experiences having to call restaurants being so horrible with them talking back to me like I’m stupid you honestly made it easier, if anyone is reading this wondering if you should order from here my opinion is yes simply from the great customer service! Again thankyou!

On the way into Carsington Water. Friendly lady at desk. We sat down on one of the tables inside. Simple but adequate menu. All the cakes obviously made in house. The menu was definitely value for money, and the food served was delicious!! We would have ordered more food, as we wanted dessert and to sample the ‘puddings’ cakes, however the lady was so engrossed in talking to some obvious regulars, that even with our subtle hints of clearing our own table etc we were still ignored and eventually we ran out of time (and patience . For reference, we waited half an hour. We would visit again, but hope that maybe the chatty regulars weren’t there, or that the lady wanted to try and make ‘new’ visitors into regulars, and she could take more of our money instead of us going somewhere else for cake (which we did! .

Poor campsite. Facilities inadequate and not particularly clean.Grass long and the site generally unkempt. Cakes in the cafe were in an open cabinet with wasps on the meringues. Tables were dirty. Won' t be going back.

Took the short detour to enjoy a bowl of soup and chunky bread before continuing our walk, well worth finding.

Lived in Derbyshire my whole life yet only stumbled upon this place yesterday by chance when walking from where we where staying for a mini break on a near by campsite down to Carsington Water oh my gosh I wish I knew about it before! Beautiful setting, lovely decor and tables inside and outside, dog friendly (a treat was even given to our dog by the staff , which she loved! . Food was lovely and not overpriced at all, extremely reasonable. Massive selection of cakes but also nice lunch/ snacks available. He lady servicing us (not sure if the owner or member of staff couldn’t do More for us approachable, chatty yet professional. Totally recommend.
