Mad Hatters Tea Room - South Derbyshire

Two old ladies looking for a cuppa and something nice to avoid going straight home after Church have tried most cafes and tea rooms in the area south of Derby. When we found the Mad Hatter, we knew our prayers had been answered. Cute, cozey tea room with canal-side area that can cope with all but the worst weather. There are even wasp traps so the stingers leave the customers in peace. The menu is adaptable to any diet and the Staff could not be nicer or more helpful. Given that the food is prepared to order and REALLY great, what more can you want? Car parking? Not a problem !

Smashing place. Visit as much as we can. Love it. Staff and food are great! Lucky to have it in our doorstep.

Visited for brunch with family. We arrived at just the right time and got a table for 5 , as shortly after it was full, although seating is available outside as well. ordered a five items breakfast , 8 item breakfast and 12 item breakfast, which also all come with a slice of white or brown toast and butter. All were absolutely delicious and not a scrap was left. Not greasy at all which some cooked breakfasts can be at some places, and the bacon nice and crispy . There was not a peep out of my sons as they were eating, and they have been talking about how good the breakfast was the the day after as well! My parents had a toastie and a panini which came with a lovely salad garnish too. They concurred that theirs were equally as delicious. Service was friendly and efficient too. Definitely the top place for breakfast locally and looking forward to a return visit

I had a chip butty. My son had chips and egg. Both really enjoyed it and clean plates all round. Friendly staff too

Ordered a breakfast and to be fair was told that the microwave had failed so no scrambled egg, baked beans, tomatoes or mushrooms were available. We went ahead and ordered fried stuff to make up a breakfast. We twice reminded staff that we had not received our hot drinks but they didn 't appear. After 55 minutes from the order time I asked for a refund for the drinks. On the way out I spoke to the owner who was outside chatting to customers and having a cigarette and told her about the situation and she immediately blamed the new staff . It was a poor excuse, a shame because we are regular customers and did like going there
