Pollys in Staffordshire Moorlands

Polly needs to put on her winter opening hours. We turned up today expecting the cafe to be open

Came across this place when walking from Dovedale car park.....and so pleased I did!! Fantastic, friendly and accommodating service.The woman who services me (presumably Poly!), couldn't help us enough, and was really talkative and helpful. The coffee tasted fantastic too. Situated right near the river too, and a couple of benches to sit on and watch the wildlife in and around the stream.

Great ice cream with special flavours I had not seen any where else. We arrived when the staff were just cleaning to go home but they still went out of their way to serve us.

Excellent service Internet not working, so we were given bank details and paid when we got back to our house. Thankyou for being so trusting. £9 but sent £10.

If you're anywhere nearby this is an absolute gem for convenient food and drink: Nice hot quality savoury pastries, well filled sandwiches and big hot drinks. The perfect place to get refreshments if you are taking in beautiful Dove Dale and all good value too. Thanks!

Myself and my family visited Milldale today. We sat and watched the ducks while enjoying a cracking cuppa and delicious hot pasty for lunch. The owners are wonderful and so thoughtful. Really lovely customer service. Despite it clearly being a popular place for tourists qnd walkers it maintains it's blissful tranquility and Polly's reflects that with their easy going nature and eye for detail.Absolutely love the place and will be back regularly.

Lovely little shop and fantastic ice creams, with all your classic flavous and then cherry bakewell flavour which just tastes like cherry bakewell, salted caramel and a lovely honeycomb and caramel flavour. The shop does a wide range of hot or cold snacks and drinks. Would definitely visit again when at dovedale it is about a 3 mile walk but it is a lovely walk especially when the sun's out.

This place was a life saver. Homemade sausage rolls and other pastries. It's in the middle of nowhere and we were flagging. Came across this window shop , which is cute in itself and the homemade grub and coffee was simply yummy

Came across this lovely cottage yesterday ( new year's day) while walking along the river Dove from DoveDale. The young lady was very pleasant and the tea and Cornish pasty, sausage roll were very nice and reasonably priced. Will definitely revisit on our next walk that way .

Don't expect an enormous range of products, drinks or snacks. But what is available is great and *very* welcome, along with a friendly attitude. Perfect stopover for refreshment if you are walking along Dovedale from the main car park, and then back (about 6.5 mile round trip).
