Hulme End Tea Junction - Fawfieldhead

I received a recommendation from a shopkeeper in Hartington that instead of paying for parking at the NP carpark, I could enjoy tea and cakes at the tearoom and park for free. Sure enough, there was a sign that said "spend a penny with me and park for free"! I bought a takeaway cup of tea for my thermos and headed off along the Manifold Trail, knowing I was welcome to park for as long as I liked. After three hours of walking, I treated myself to a delicious slice of Banana and Pistachio cake and a hot chocolate (from a machine, but still good). There was also a small gift shop with postcards and local crafts to browse through. The service was friendly, and I found it to be a great deal to be able to park for free in exchange for a drink and snack that I would have bought anyway. Note: Parking is free with purchase from the tearoom.

This quaint restaurant offers a wide range of options, from decadent cakes and delicious coffee to camping supplies and handmade wooden crafts for sale. They also provided ample parking for their customers. The staff was kind enough to allow us to park for the entire duration of our visit in exchange for purchasing a cake. In terms of accessibility, it seems that the entrance is on a flat level, making it wheelchair-friendly. Additionally, both nearby restrooms are also accessible. The service for dining in was excellent.

The restaurant has a very welcoming staff and the interior is cozy and spacious. There are also plenty of tables outside. It is located very close to the Manifold Walk. Parking is free if you use the cafe. Dining in offers a variety of meal options at an affordable price range of £1-10 per person.

Only had a tea which was bought for me, but all seemed nice. Atmosphere: 4

Lovely tea rooms in a very attractive location and building. They have their own car park which is free (be careful to use the right one as there's a chargeable car park next to it! . Really friendly welcome and helpful service. Food and drink was excellent and reasonably priced. One of the best and most generous sausage sandwiches I've ever had delicious!! Parking: Tea rooms have a free car park. There's not a lot of space though, and I suspect quite a few cars were using it to go for a walk rather than using the chargeable car park next to it. Wheelchair accessibility: It's all flat so very accessible.
