Beautiful place. We visited last Friday a lovely sunny day with our 2 dogs, had an amazing walk and lunch which was absolutely excellent.

Only ever sat outside. Plenty of little summer houses to sit in. Resident Robin appears for left overs. Dogs welcome. Overflow car park. Not open Mondays.

Stopped by after a walk, it was very busy so sat outside which was nice as there’s a lot of seating to choose from. Food was excellent would definitely come back if in the area.

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon for an early lunch after a 7 mile walk.We had two (muddy) dogs with us so opted to sit outside (not sure if dogs are allowed inside). There was plenty space and different areas to sit. We loved all the doggy friendly touches - the water bowl stations, dog biscuits, towels and blankets.There was plenty of choice on the menus and most importantly lots of cake options. We had two ultimate breakfast cobs, a soft drink, a pot of tea and two slices of cake to take away.Although it was on the higher side of price, the service was quick, food was ready within 10/15 minutes and tasted delicious. We expected those prices given the location.Would highly recommend this place for a spot of food after a good walk through the beautiful Dimmingsdale forest.

Great place for refreshments after a good walk.

I've never been here but always walk past and it looks beautiful and the food smells lovely.
This place is great. Wide selection on the menu for all times of day and appetites, set in a fantastic location, very family and dog friendly, and quickly served.

My husband and myself had a lovely walk along the old railway track and completed it with a visit to this establishment. We both had a sandwich, which came with a side salad and crisps, the food was beautifully presented and tasty, the atmosphere was good, and the service was excellent. The seating area is ample and warm. If you wish to sit outside, there are individual cabins where you can keep warm and dry and are great for people with a dog. There is also an open garden area with little nooks and crannies that can sit in the fresh air. The owners have given a lot of thought and attention to the layout of this place. No dogs are allowed inside. It's a beautiful place to stop for a drink and a bite to eat . In the garden area's there is a hatch for take away food and drink. I recommend it to everyone and I intend to go back again, everything appears to be homemade,: ie, cakes, soup, pie's etc, the facilities are good and they also cater for wheelchairs and allergen sufferers, they have thought of everything, so go and give them a try, you won't be disappointed. From a very satisfied customer.

Fantastic little cafe in the middle of nowhere. Nice and peaceful and the hot chocolate we had was spot on after a big walk.

A family favouriteWe often visit the Ramblers Retreat when walking in this lovely corner of Staffordshire; it's a fine spot at the foot of Dimmings Dale, with charming walks all around.We normally sit in the large garden, where the food has always been great and served quickly.If the car park seems full at lunch time, hang around for 5 or 10 minutes! people come and go. You're in no rush right?

Went here last weekend whilst celebrating my 40th Birthday . The vegan breakfast was amazing. Good portion and made even better with an oatcake being included ?. I’ll definitely be back for a visit.
