Bars in Ashbourne

“Just outstanding!! Indian tapas was absolutely out of this world!! Couldn’t recommend this enough! 5***”

“What a wonderful warm, genuinely friendly welcome from the lovely owners. Have to say I have never had a shepherd’s pie as utterly scrumptious as the one made by the amazing chef Adam. The chips are to die for too. Cosy and comfortable inside, particularly by the open real fire. Lovely vibe from the moment you enter to the moment you leave with a ‘thank you, very much’ as a parting both ways. An absolute gem of a pub.”

“Went yesterday for Sunday lunch. It was very busy as had a function on, but the service was very quick and the roast beef was delicious. My husband is a chef he is difficult to please but he was very impressed. Ice cream was great too. Highly recommend .”

“Lunch with friends. Lovely food and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Food and drinks: Very good varied menu, locally sourced produce and very well cooked and presented.”

“Friendly staff and beautiful pub/restaurant. Went here after being disappointed at Pesto at the Peacock. Amazing dessert! I had the toffee banana pudding it was delicious. My uncle had the cheesecake which was also to die for. My aunt had the salted caramel creme brûlée, only criticism is that it was a little bit too salty. Coffees were also delicious, can’t wait to try the mains next time! Thank you!”

“Visited on a Thursday evening with a group of scooter and motorbike riders—what a fantastic experience! The staff and manager were incredibly welcoming and genuinely passionate about looking after their guests. The beer was cold, fresh, and great value. Although we didn’t eat (we’d already had dinner), the manager shared how their steaks are locally sourced and how committed they are to serving quality food. You can really feel the pride they take in what they do. We’ll definitely be back to try the food next time! Highly recommend this pub to anyone—whether you're in for a drink or a meal, they make sure everyone feels at home.”

“We came for lunch today with a large party, and it did not disappoint! The pub itself is cozy and welcoming, we had a walk over from carsington water and was welcomed with a lovely warm fire. I had the beef feather blade which was delicious, the gravy was out of this world. my partner had the special game pie which he loved. the kids were catered for wonderfully. would return in a heartbeat!”

“We asked for the music to be turned down and my starter was sent to another table but it got sorted out.”

“We had a family party last Sunday, kept adding in numbers to 13 and our hosts were. Good food good service and would highly recommend.”
