We brought my boyfriends Grandma here for a birthday treat and had the afternoon tea. We could not believe our eyes when the biggest cake stand I have ever seen arrived at our table! It was jam packed with sandwiches, salad, cakes, scones and Bakewell tarts. The food was absolutely beautiful and the portion sizes were so generous! At least three other tables commented on how lovely our afternoon tea looked and how they would be ordering one next time. The tea rooms has such a lovely and relaxing atmosphere with such friendly staff. We will DEFINITELY be returning.

Fab breakfast. Best I had in a long time The ladies running the cafe are so nice. Very accommodating to “out of menu” requests
Will return for sure

Best bacon butties in Bakewell.
Stayed in Bakewell for a month. The Tea Rooms were a big part of the holiday with fabulous service and food. Will miss it.

The lavendar tea rooms never fails to provide a lovely atmosphere , fantastic food and wonderful service . Lesley and her team go out of their way to make you feel welcome . The afternoon tea is absolutely amazing , it’s fast becoming our favourite place for birthdays, baby showers and hen parties . The sandwiches are fresh and sooooo tasty not to mention the scones and cake ! We even got to take home what we couldn’t squeeze in. Excellent value for money . Thank you so much and see you soon .

This used to be such a nice tea shop. Havn't been in for some time so was really shocked at the change. Everywhere is so grubby. No idea when the downstairs floor was last cleaned, needs re-decorating and a good clean from top to bottom. The curtains in the Ladies seem to be hanging in dirt and a good clean and disinfecting is needed. There were bits of stale cakes on the counter that all looked really unappetising and the charge for a slice was ridicules.
This is a matter of things changing and not for the better. Sort things out Lavender or stand to lose a lot of customers. People do notice grubby and unkempt and just don't come back.
