The Waterside Cafe in Derby

Not what it used to be, since being taken over.

extortionate for saying it’s a cafe on a park that children and parents use.

When visiting Derby to see family we go to Alvaston Park which is beautiful and having the Café there is nice. We have had chips, ice cream and drinks here and everytime it's been good and the staff polite. From my experience have nothing bad to say.

Two stars because the sausage cob was very nice but the blonde lady that served me asked for £9.00 gave me 10p change from a ten pound note and walked away... we also asked for onions but she just ignored the request didn't say they didn't do onions just simply didn't put them on and walked away again! She used her manners when she did speak but she's quite ignorant...i love the park and the lake and normally the cafe but she should consider another line of work!

Been twice now in the past few weeks. Drinks are ok and food is average. The blonde cooks who works in the kitchen is rude and impolite. Complaining the fact she has to cook a few easy meals. Also we saw her biting the packet of chips before putting in the fryer which in light of the coronavirus is absolutely disgusting. The other lady at the café with dark hair was very polite but it just doesn't make up for such vile and disgusting behaviour

Nice cafe, good coffee and even does chips! Also staff always happy to chat. Brings a smile to my face every time! (Ignore the haters)

Over priced coffee, tastes like pond water. Wouldn't waste your time. Staff not friendly or helpful, sighing when I ask a question.

Great little cafe offering a range of drinks and food through a safe kiosk service. Friendly staff who remember your face :)

Basic cafe with lucky dip service, council run it on min wage agency staff so if you order food it's a lucky dip as to what comes out.I don't blame the staff as minimum wage equals minimum effort and your onto another job in a different location tomorrow ,so your not invested into the business or bothered about wanting a customer to come back as it doesn't matter to you.

Called in today while having a walk around Alvaston Park lake, the staff both were very friendly and helpful,, the place it's self looked clean and tidy my bacon cob and cup of tea both were very nice.Will definitely use it again
