We were expecting the surrounding to be in line with the grandeur of the house. For the price it was very disappointing.

I emailed the restaurant about my daughters food issues . No they didn't email back they actually rang me to talk me through what she could have . They asked me to leave it with them and the chef would sort her something. It was amazing . We were so so thankful . They went above and Beyond.

Fell over just before I got there and turned up with a bleeding knee. The lady helping was so kind and really looked after us and helped. She was so brilliant you can tell the staff work to such a high standard.

Booked Afternoon Tea for my Aunt's birthday. While I hadn't arranged anything with the staff at Chatsworth (Cavendish restaurant), when they realised it was a special birtthey they made the whole afternoon extra special. The service is 2nd to none, attentive staff without being intrusive. The afternoon tea itself was just wonderful, we certainly didn't leave hungry & were not rushed in anyway. The restaurant itself is stunning, beautifully decorated & quite quiet even though it was quite busy. Will definitely book again. Well done to the Cavendish staff, you really made my aunt's day
