We visited as part of the Monsal Trail. We didn’t expect there to be so many activities for the children or for such a wide variety of food and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised. We had a coffee stop first, delicious and a lovely guy served us, he was very welcoming and attentive. We went for our walk and returned a few hours later. It was rather busy when we returned as the weather was gorgeous, it was so nice and created such a great atmosphere. We had sausage rolls, ciabattas and jacket potatoes between our group, loved everything. We will be back soon! Our dog enjoyed a cheeky little ice cream too!

Amazing! So glad I stopped in. Dog friendly, baby changing facilities and loads, and I mean loads, of gluten free options on the menu! Super friendly staff, welcomed from the moment we stepped through the door. Great coffee and lovely food. We sat outside in the sun, had a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back

Amazing place. We stopped there on our way home and so happy we did. The staff were the kindest ever. My daughters made a mess but all of them were with a smile and saying dont worry we ll take care of it. Moreover, one of the staff asked us if we wanted a family photo, thas was so kind of him. The place was full, wish it was a bit bigger. The outside was amazing as well, will definitely try to come back during summer as well. A must visit cafe

Casual. Nice and unpretentious cafe on the grounds of Thornbridge. The food is locally sourced (some from the estate itself) and nicely prepared. The name is derived from the fountain outside which is filled with rubber ducks for the children to enjoy. You can also get some of the famous Thornbridge Brewery products. We had scones and coffee and it was a delight. I think my favorite thing was the large number of very cute children running around in the fountain pool.

A lovely cafe, and a lovely venue. My 3yo loves it at Thornbridge, and it's the perfect location for us to meet my Mom as she lives in the Midlands and we're in Yorkshire. Means we can bring the dog too!
