Lovely place to eat, booking essential, nice shopping too.

Too busy, can’t eat for people bumping into you as they walk past. Literally crammed in there. Not enjoyable.

First visit to the Paddock & it didn't disappoint. The food was outstanding, I had the salmon nicoise salad. The service was impeccable, friendly & professional staff. Highly recommended, and I will definitely be visiting again. Well done to the team.

Very nice place to visit this is my second visit in a week, the afternoon food is better than the breakfast but that is still very good. The staff ar helpful and friendly, the place gets very busy and you are asked if you have booked a table when you arrive so my suggestion is always try to book ahead before your visit.The afternoon we went the pie was amazing it is on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for and the flavour and presentation was awesome. We also had the wrap and soup deal again on the pricey side but this was also fresh and very tasty.The paddock also sits inside Derby House which is great for some retail therapy for those little things you just need, great butchers too and for those extra special bits needed for a dinner date it's a must visit but do take your credit card as prices are high due to the quality on offer

Called in for coffee and cake. Have visited before. I had the raspberry velvet cake. The selection of cakes is excellent, as is the food menu. We have not yet had a meal, however we will be coming back in the future.

Great food, which was tasty and well presented. It’s a busy place which shows how popular it is, especially with “ladies doing lunch” it appeared.Nit cheap with a main course being about £17, but it was a pleasant place to eat.Good GF cakes also.

The staff are polite and friendly. However my experience was diabolical. We were told what the pie of the day was and then when trying to order it was told they don't have any, showing poor communication between staff members. We waited half an hour for very possibly the worst food we have ever had! The burger was absolutely awful and tasted strangely and the mash came with no gravy which we had to ask for twice. Overall a very poor experience indeed!

Decent place to eat, nice location, good service, reasonable food but many items are overpriced. After all , it’s just a cafe charging restaurant prices.
Good well cooked food ! Went with 3 other friends. What I found was it's difficult to hear what our friends were saying as when the dinner room is full it's quite noisy.

Had a lovely Christmas lunch here - succulent turkey, friendly staff and prompt service despite being very busy.

Excellent friendly service. Thai chicken salad bowl very tasty and my partner really rated the hotpot pie. We were too full for dessert but took delicious cakes home.

Went in for a Christmas outing with friends.we were told they were slightly behind, fair enough.One lady got her soup after an hour. Others their main courses after another fifteen minutes. I had to wait almost 1hr and 45 min to get a sandwich. I could have cooked a full chicken and baked the bread faster than that?By the time it arrived i had to bolt it down as everyone else had finished eating.We were given free desserts and drinks as an apology.Asked for the bill,paid.Went out and on our way home to get a phone call saying we had left without paying the correct amount. Had to drive back to sort it out.They had given us the wrong bill and two staff said we had underpaid.So not only did we get poor service but then they mixed the bills up and made us feel like criminals for walking out! It was all their fault, we'd only gone in for a meal and chat.The food was good but I really wish I hadn't eaten any of it and had this fiasco to deal with. Bad enough to be waiting almost two hours for a sandwich without being phoned up and having to return to sort out another of their mistakesWe were apologised to. However, I can't recommend this place

The restaurant was almost full but the service was quick and efficient. Really enjoyed the food but feel the menu was a bit pricey. Lovely gift shop and clothes department plus highly stocked farm shop. Everything looked really good but on the expensive side which is usual for local produce. Well worth a visit though.
Great little shopping area lovely
