Market Place Fish & Chip Restaurant ASHBOURNE
7 Market Pl, Market Place, AshbourneExcellent fish and chips—light, crunchy batter and tender fish that wasn’t greasy at all. The chips were hearty and well-cooked, and the curry sauce complemented everything nicely. A solid, comforting meal.

The Lighthouse Restaurant
New Rd, Boylestone, AshbourneAbsolutely brilliant dining experience from the moment we arrived. Superb service, divine food. We opted to have both supplement courses (beef fillet and parsnip cake) which were definitely worth having. Every course was heavenly! You can opt to have a wine pairing menu but we chose a bottle of Argentinian Malbec to share. We had cocktails in the bar before being taking to our table. I did not take a photo of it but the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini was divine!

Carsington Water - Mainsail Restaurant
Carsington Water Visitor Centre, AshbourneWe arrived at Carsington on New Years Day without a reservation for the restaurant. We joined the queue and were greeted by a brilliant gentleman. He was cheerful, positive, polite and nothing seemed like too much trouble. We watched him time and time again successfully seat different groups, moving furniture and making the restaurant work to meet different requirements. What a pleasure to see somebody who really seemed to take pride in his work and with so much positivity. I then needed to feed my little girl and he very kindly found me a space to do this. The food was delicious but what really made our experience was the gentleman who seated us. Thank you for making our New Years Day so much calmer and organised!

The Horseshoes
Long Ln, Longlane, AshbourneFood was lovely. Service was so slow. Was seated over a hour after the time table was booked for. Overcharged slightly looks to be due to set menu price and being manually input.no option of tap water given so charged for water. Water glass smelt musty. Service charge automatically added. Slow service seemed understaffed and overbooked This all feels like ways to add profit so not keen on this. Food was good. Out of principle wouldn't return.

The Bridge
33-35 Dig St, AshbourneHad a walk through Ashbourne and came across The Bridge which is part of the Marstons company. We had dinner here and the service was very good. The tables were all clean and as it was a Monday it wasn't very busy.We had two mains of the burger with cheese and bacon, this came quickly and was very tasty and was a job to finish it all. Home made coleslaw, onion rings and chips. Everything about it was great and would definitely recommend it if you're feeling hungry.We also had the mince and onion pie again this was of the same size portion. The pie was served on a big bed of mashed potato and a generous portion of green peas. Also had a large gravy boat if you wanted to add this. The pastry was very tasty and buttery and not dry like some other places. Again a good size portion. We wanted dessert but after these we had to admit defeat and go without. Maybe next time we'll have room.

STAR ANISE
9A Compton St, AshbourneWe had the absolute pleasure of booking Star Anise to cater our wedding evening meal over the bank holiday weekend, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend them more highly.
From the moment we got in touch, their professionalism and warmth stood out. They were incredibly understanding of our needs, working closely with us to tailor everything around our budget and timings, without ever compromising on the quality. Their advice and guidance were so appreciated - helping us shape the perfect evening setup with options that suited all of our guests. It truly felt like they were invested in making our day special, and that care shone through in every interaction.
And the food… just wow. It was utterly delicious and bursting with flavour. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it (many going back for seconds and thirds!), and we were over the moon to have leftovers the next morning, which made for the best post wedding-day breakfast.
Everything ran so smoothly, and it honestly took a weight off our shoulders knowing we were in such capable hands. If you’re thinking of booking them for your event - do it. You won’t regret it.
