Edensor Tea Cottage - Edensor - Derbyshire
http://www.aboutnottinghamshire.co.uk/
Edensor is the charming hamlet just hidden from view at Chatsworth House. It was largely designed by Joseph Paxton and every house is different, and delightful. The Post Office used to house a small tea shop, but this closed some time ago, but the same place has now opened as the Edensor Tea Cottage, and works in close association with Chatsworth House.
The first thing that struck me was how bright and clean it was, particularly compared with previously, and how smartly dressed all the welcoming staff were. There are three separate rooms for eating, two with wood burning stoves.
It serves predominately snack-type food like soup of the day and sandwiches, but there are specials, and when I visited I could have had liver and onion casserole, which seemed a rare menu option. The couple on the next table each had salmon fillet, salad, new potatoes with a herb sauce, which looked absolutely wonderful.
I chose ham, two free range eggs with bubble and squeak (£6.95). I hadn't quite reckoned what a very substantial meal this would be, and was certainly unable to have any dessert!
Next time I visit, which I hope will be soon, I intend to try one of the many tempting varieties of cake on offer! No wonder the place was packed when I visited, as it could become a firm favourite for many people.
