Food:
Offering a wide ranging and good value menu including 'All day breakfast', homemade
soups, fish & chips, steak pies, lasagne, jacket potatoes, salad platters and
assorted hot and cold sandwiches and toasties. Also 'Hikers Hash', served in a
giant Yorkshire Pudding is especially popular with hungry outdoor types. Vegetarian
options are available.
In addition, there are homemade scones, cream teas,
and home baked cakes (some made by the local W.I.) featuring Victoria Sandwich,
chocolate cake, coffee cake, lemon drizzle cake, date & walnut etc. The lengthy
children's menu is also more imaginative than most.
A 2-course special
is available on Fridays, roast dinners on Sundays and a Christmas menu will be
offered during December. A take-away service, including
fish & chips is also available.
Drinks: Tea by the
pot, including speciality teas and herbal infusions, cafetiers of fresh coffee,
hot chocolate, milk shakes and a range of cold drinks.
General: The café is situated on a back street beyond the tennis courts
and part of the outdoor swimming pool area. It comprises one light, open main
room with nine glass-topped tables. This is a popular local café that also attracts
outdoor groups who enjoy the well-priced portions. In summer it's busy with pool-goers
into the early evenings. The Hathersage outdoor lido (heated) is a gem and one
of the very few left of it's kind. There's no better way to round off a swimming
session, than to enjoy a drink, or snack, on the cafes newly refurbished patio.
Dogs and smokers are allowed outside. Although a ramp allows wheelchair access
to the café, the inside toilets are not yet wheelchair accessible. Limited parking
outside, but a large pay and display car park opposite. |
