What User doesn't like about The Orangery At St Elphin's Park:
The restaurant was fantastic. The only issue we had was that Fork did not provide accurate information. We were looking to have high tea, but we found out that it is only served between 2:30 and 5:30 pm. I also mentioned my nut allergy to them, but they seemed to have missed it. Despite these hiccups, we will definitely return, but next time we will make sure to book directly with the restaurant. View all feedback. What User likes about The Orangery At St Elphin's Park:
We really enjoyed the carvery and found the food to be excellent. However, the website had advertised it as "afternoon tea," leading us to believe we were booking it as a Mother's Day gift. Additionally, the restaurant could benefit from clearer signage from the road as you drive into Matlock. Nevertheless, we still had a great experience! View all feedback.
