Apley Farm Shop Creamery Cafe

I recently visited Apley for afternoon tea and I was extremely impressed! The venue is beautiful, cozy, and welcoming. The staff who served us and seated us were incredibly helpful and friendly. They explained all the items on the menu, offered us additional tea or coffee, and even packed up our leftovers for us. It was great value for money and I will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon. Plus, the food was delicious!

My daughter gave us a buyagift voucher for afternoon tea at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the afternoon tea was plentiful, fresh, and delicious. We had plenty to take home with us as well.

I visited here with my wife for afternoon tea on Monday 29th January, (we booked using buyagift voucher that our daughter had given us). The afternoon tea itself was also excellent and plentiful On the day the staff, Rachael and Katelynn, who looked after us were excellent and nothing was too much trouble, they even provided us with containers to take home the cakes and Scones that were left over I thoroughly recommend Apley Kitchen

Can’t rate this place high enough!! Staff here are amazing. Friendly and attentive. Can’t do enough for you. We are visiting the area. We had afternoon tea. The produce served is such high quality and far too much to Erin one sitting. They kindly gave us boxes to take the rest home. Lovely ambiance and such attention to the finer detail sitting for afternoon tea with matching china and a white tablecloth. We will be back despite living 3 hours away. Next time we’re in the area

Building decor is beautiful And staff look very professional. We were seated and given menus, then we felt like we had been forgotton about. It wasn’t too busy either. We managed to place our orders, but we were very unhappy to be immediately asked if we were to pay then or after. I have never known to be asked this quick before. Maybe so if it was a takeout option, but we were sitting in. Following on from this, we chose to pay then, but later when we left staff member ran to us across the courtyard asking if we had paid for a cake we asked to be taken away (which we did! . Although she was polite in asking we did feel a bit like we was being accused of stealing a slice of cake, when surely the bill evidently left on the table would show we had paid, and communication with staff would also proove this? We actually visited apley farm to see the animals and petting zoo. We asked staff about it and it was barked to us that ‘the animals aren’t here anymore ’ with no further information. I had to ask her as she was walking away what she meant, as this was the reason we arrived. After a quick google and Facebook search we found information about a lease ending or something. There is always 2 sides to a story but we think this is a absolute crying shame that it has closed down and had taken so much away from the area. On a positive note, the chocolate buttercream on the chocolate cake is the nicest I have ever tasted- absolutly to die for ! If I’m honest, due to staff treatment re payment of cake, and animals no longer in situ, I doubt we will be in a hurry to return.
