ashmores in Rushcliffe

This was the first time I visited this place. On arrival, we found out you could only order from the Christmas menu, which is very limited. The quality of the food was very poor, and what you would expect from a budget cafe and the serving sizes were small. No matter what main course you ordered, you got the same roast potatoes and veg to share !!! Even a choice of new potatoes would have been better. If you just want a low end meal then this is for you.

4 of us booked the French evening. Four courses for £30 so excellent value. Onion soup, sweet and delicious , a choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts. My starter was scallops, juicy and plump. A main course of halibut left me almost too replete to tackle the tarte au citron, but I managed to squeeze it in. Everything beautifully presented and efficiently served.

I phoned yesterday to book a table for lunch for my wife and I today. Wonderful friendly greeting on the phone was matched with friendly yet professional greeting in person. The french onion soup was better than anything in France. The pork loin had an excellent farmer to match the brilliant butcher who delivered tender and succulent meat to Ashmores' amazing chef. All in all an excellent lunch at our leisure

Sunday Lunch at Ashmores is always good - delicious home-cooked meals without the washing up. Proper food made with love and care, and quality ingredients. I've been to this family-run restaurant numerous times and it's always a lovely experience; from the warm greeting when you walk through the door until you say goodbye, and they make an amazing Sunday roast! The goats-cheese & pumpkin soup starter looked and tasted scrumptious. The roast beef was cooked perfectly - super tender, served with a generous helping of all the trimmings and the baked vanilla cheesecake & profiterole desserts were seriously delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. It's a real all-rounder. My Mum already booked a return visit to celebrate a 'big' birthday in December.

We were invited to Ashmores for a friend's birthday. There were about 20 of us. We were served promptly and the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, fresh and flavoursome. The waiting staff were smartly dressed, efficient and super friendly. I had melon for starter, chicken breast in red wine sauce for mains and raspberry bavarois. Everything was amazing!!! The melon and berries were so fresh. As my main course arrived I could smell the red wine sauce - soooo good. The raspberry bavarois - light and full of raspberries. It was heavenly. We loved the restaurant too, well spaced out (not crammed in) and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be going back when we visit friends, sadly we do not live in Nottingham.

Had a fantastic meal last night,good food and service i would reccomend it to any one who enjoys fish ,and all at a resanable price

Ashmore's was my husband's favourite restaurant, as we had always enjoyed excellent food and service. Therefore, when he very sadly passed away recently, it was the most suitable venue to hold his Wake. It was attended by about 44 people and everyone commented on how delicious and substantial the finger buffet was. Mr and Mrs Ashmore provided an excellent atmosphere and all the staff were very attentive and sensitive to everyone's needs given the occasion. I should like to thank Mr and Mrs Ashmore and staff for making the event so special considering the very sad circumstances. Pat and family.

Visited on Saturday night with family. There were four of us..two had steak (with a supplement) two had pork. Only one small dish of potatoes and vegetables between four of us which wasn’t anywhere near enough. There was also a supplement for cheese and biscuits! Why?? Very disappointed

Two friends and I enjoyed our fish evening at my favourite restaurant, Ashmores. The scallops were perfect and the monkfish was beautifully cooked and presented. We could not resist being tempted by the choice of sweets. I would have loved the chocolate pudding but chose the lighter bavarois. The meal was excellent value for money and the service was superb. I am pleased that the restaurant has reopened again after lockdown ....I have missed it so much.

We visited Ashmores last week and were pleased to learn the incredible food remains after lockdown! I had the monkfish, which was delicious. Our friends also enjoyed their food. Will definitely be visiting again!

Thanks to COVID 19 we havn’t been able to visit Ashmores restaurant for so long , so today was so special for my husband and myself . It was wonderful to be welcomed so warmly . The food , well what can I say but supurb . There wasn’t one thing I would have changed it was all well cooked and beautifully presented .if you’ve not visited Ashmores you really are missing a treat .

Well worth the wait for the reopening after lockdown. Brilliant food and service as always I would highly recommend the fish dishes, if any one enjoys fish this is the place to try it. Good value for money.

Excellent service with good quality food. Although there was a large group of us the food came in a timely and professional manner.

I travelled up from Cheltenham to stay with my friend in Normanton on the Wold, told to arrive in time to travel to Radcliffe on Trent for lunch at Ashmores.. I chose pork and all the tirmmings Excellent meal, amazing vegetables and roasties, beautifully prepared and hot, Good meaty gravy. My friends had pudding which they said was delicious We all had coffee Great surroundings. Good service We mwere meeting another friend in Ashmores

my wifes birthday and our wedding anniversary. all current rules complied with. staff polite and helpful. all current rules complied with. food was superb, tasty and well presented. served superbly. our favourite restaurant for many years. never had a bad meal yet. value for money. pleasant comfortable surroundings.

Gracias Ashmores por una velada deliciosa y agradable. Genial estar de vuelta en uno de los restaurantes favoritos míos y de mi familia. La comida fue excelente como siempre, el personal estaba haciendo un trabajo fabuloso y tenían todo el distanciamiento social en su lugar, todos nos sentimos extremadamente seguros y pudimos disfrutar de la noche sin preocupaciones. El ambiente general fue encantador. ¡Estoy seguro de que volveremos muy pronto! !

Recientemente visité Ashmores para la promoción de langosta y fresas, fue bueno estar de regreso. La comida era tan buena como siempre y el equipo de recepción estaba tomando todas las precauciones para garantizar que nuestra experiencia gastronómica nos hiciera sentir cómodos mientras seguíamos la guía de distanciamiento social. Como siempre, tiene una gran relación calidad-precio y sin duda volveremos.

We were back for the first time since lockdown. The staff coped very well with the new regulations and we felt very comfortable having our dinner. The food was excellent, and certainly value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Recientemente hemos celebrado dos grandes fiestas de cumpleaños en Ashmores.La muy cálida bienvenida de la Sra. Ashmore y el personal a todos nuestros invitados y a nosotros mismos fue comentada por todos e hizo que ambas ocasiones fueran memorables. Estaban preparados para permitirnos colocar decoraciones de cumpleaños y estaban ansiosos por atender desde bebés hasta ancianos. La comida era excelente y deliciosa y, nuevamente, todos comentaron sobre esto. El Sr. Ashmore es un chef excelente y no dudaríamos en recomendar este restaurante a cualquiera. Volveremos pronto.

Un grupo de nosotros se reunió ayer para compartir una comida a la hora del almuerzo. La elección fue extensa y excelente valor para uno, dos o tres cursos. Toda la comida servida se veía y sabía deliciosa. El servicio fue excelente y volveremos pronto.Siempre un cliente satisfecho en AshmoresSigan con el buen trabajo Mark.

This restaurant is a gem in the centre of the village. Lovely, tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere. It is well worth seeking out for a romantic meal. Make a point of investigating the special events as these are very interesting.

¡El verano está aquí! Los Ashmores están una vez más sirviendo langostas. Puede elegir entre langosta fría con ensalada y papas nuevas o termidor de langosta también con ensalada y papas nuevas. Esto es seguido por un desierto de helado, sorbete, bayas frescas, merengue triturado y crema. El precio depende de si tienes media langosta a los 17 años. 56 o uno completo a los 26. Qué brillante valor para una comida tan deliciosa. Mire en su sitio web los horarios de apertura y eventos especiales. Este lugar siempre merece una visita.

La decoración de este interesante restaurante está un poco pasada de moda, pero lo importante es que la comida es muy buena y el servicio es excelente. El precio es muy razonable.Éramos cuatro y todos teníamos lo mismo, la langosta y las fresas. Todos elegimos la ensalada de langosta fría y no el termidor. Fue excelente. Dos de nosotros tuvimos la langosta entera y dos la mitad. La langosta ya se retiró de su caparazón y estaba perfectamente cocida y tierna. La ensalada era muy buena, no solo lechuga, y la disfruté (como alguien que piensa que la lechuga es para conejos, eso es un gran elogio).El postre consistía en fresas con helado y merengues con yogur griego. Muy bien.Solo bebimos el vino de la casa, ya que solo dos personas bebían y una conducía, así que tomamos vino por copa, con dos diferentes y ambos estaban bien. Los cuatro de nosotros estuvimos muy contentos con nuestra visita aquí y volveríamos otra vez si estuviéramos en la zona.Toda la ensalada de langosta y el postre era 26. 95, que parecía muy buen valor.

This place is first class nothing is too much trouble, great food, realistic price, clean, friendly efficient staff

Este es un restaurante familiar muy agradable que es claramente muy popular y ha estado en el negocio durante muchos años. Entiendo que el edificio originalmente se usaba en un garaje, pero no deje que eso lo desanime, ya que es muy cómodo y está bien amueblado y es un lugar elegante para una comida agradable. Éramos una mesa grande pero el servicio fue rápido, atento y amable. El tema sin gluten para mi esposa fue fácilmente atendido. Hay un almuerzo de tres platos con mucha variedad disponible para alrededor de 16 y este es un muy buen valor ya que la comida es deliciosa y bien presentada. Las bebidas se compran por separado y el efectivo se paga de inmediato, por lo que puede ser un inconveniente en la mesa durante la comida. Recordamos estar en este restaurante hace muchos años y tener una experiencia muy agradable similar. Muy recomendable si estás en la zona.

I came on wednesday night for a meal with my partner, we were amazed by the whole evening! From the minuet we entered the staff were very kind and polite and catered to all of our needs, the food was marvellous and at a great price for the quality of food and the atmosphere was postive throughout. We will definitely be coming again and would recommend to anybody!

Tuve una comida para casi 40 personas. Me proporcionaron un menú fijo con varias opciones y una comida de tres platos con café. El vino fue suministrado por el restaurante.Cambié un elemento en el menú, ya que todo estaba bien.Teníamos el restaurante solo para mi fiesta. A los invitados se les dio un vaso de vino caliente en la entrada y nos sentamos a la hora que nos pidieron.La comida servida fue excelente, el servicio impecable, solo tuve complementos de mis invitados para toda la comida. Cinco de mi grupo están en el negocio del restaurante y todos dijeron que la comida era excelente.Hicieron una celebración de cumpleaños extremadamente especial.Gracias Jo y su esposo y todo el personal.

I attended a private function and the food was particularly good - excellent value. The place hasn’t changed in years, same ‘homely’ decor, same excellent food at reasonable prices.

Ashmores me lo recomendó mi amiga Pat, que había celebrado una maravillosa celebración familiar en el restaurante.Un pequeño grupo de nosotros fuimos para el almuerzo del domingo y fue tan bueno como lo sugerido: platos caseros, excelente relación calidad-precio y un personal profesional y acogedor.

We had my birthday party here and guests ranged from 20 to 80 yo. The atmosphere was excellent, friendly and welcoming. A good variety of meals and wine. I was offered an alternative to one of the trimmings without even asking once they knew of my allergy. The service was attentive without being overpowering and the whole experience was relaxing and extremely enjoyable. It was also excellent value for money. Many thanks to all concerned.

Algunos amigos y yo realmente disfrutamos de la deliciosa comida de Moules y Frites en Ashmores. Esta fue una velada temática y los mejillones deliciosos. Hemos estado en muchas de las otras noches temáticas, incluido Tapas. . Tardes de pescado. . . Tardes de concursos y noches de comensales y budines, y todos tienen una excelente relación calidad-precio. La comida siempre es muy buena y el servicio es excelente. He estado yendo a este restaurante por más de 20 años y siempre he tenido comidas excelentes. Como yo, hay muchos otros clientes que siempre han estado satisfechos con la comida y el servicio, por lo que regresan a donde saben que serán bienvenidos y satisfechos.

Vine aquí para la celebración de mi cumpleaños número 40 con familiares y amigos. Éramos una gran fiesta de 24 y reservé el restaurante varios meses antes después de haberlo descubierto y probado con mi pareja. Nos quedamos impresionados con la comida, el servicio y el ambiente la primera vez y mi visita más reciente no me decepcionó.

Fui a ashmores con mi amigo el mes pasado, después de hacer un escaneo rápido de sus reseñas en Trip Advisor, pensé que sería un buen lugar para ir a comer. Mi amigo y yo estamos en la cuarentena y cuando llegamos nos sorprendimos ya que estaba lleno de gente mayor, no pudimos ver a otra persona allí con menos de 65 bar a las camareras. No tengo nada en contra de la gente mayor, pero sí le da al lugar un ambiente distinto, y el lugar está decorado de forma tan neutral, que podría mejorarse con la actualización y la personalidad. Las camareras eran muy jóvenes y no parecían experimentadas. Al llegar, me dijeron con fuerza que la cerveza que quería solo venía en botellas (no pintas) y luego, cuando pedí la cerveza siguiente, pedí una botella para evitar confusiones y la camarera se mostró increíblemente desconcertada mientras me explicaba que la gente normalmente elige tomar su cerveza en un vaso:) La comida era muy normal, tuve el risotto de hongos y lo que se sirvió no se parecía en nada a lo que yo consideraría un risotto de hongos: tenía una gran mezcla de verduras al azar en él y hongos mínimos Le he dado a ashmores una calificación de "pobre" porque la experiencia tomada en conjunto no fue realmente para mí, especialmente porque no encontré la comida excelente. Sin embargo, puedo ver que atrae a cierto mercado y es una pena que el restaurante no pueda comunicarse con la gente reservando de alguna manera para explicar que este es realmente un restaurante para personas mayores, simplemente no puedo ver la decoración y el ambiente y comida atractiva para muchas (o cualquiera) personas más jóvenes. . .

Superb vegetarian food (as well as non-veggie food). Good service, well priced food, a pleasure to dine at Ashmores - always

We were guests at a cousin's birthday lunch. We got a pleasant surprise when we entered the restaurant as it was lovely, quite a contrast to the exterior which does not do it justice. The food and service were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, well worth the 2 hour journey we had made.

We reserved the whole restaurant for a Sunday lunch party to celebrate our 40 years of married life. We invited guests from the village, from east Anglia and Yorkshire, and as farr away as Dublin,

Am a regular at Ashmores as they put on such interesting events and evenings- the starters and puddings one this Friday was sublime. Prawn cocktail, ham hock, avocado & goats cheese salad, mushroom crepe, banoffee pie, choc pudding, choc truffle.. etc... Left feeling full and happy! Thanks to the wonderful team there yet again.

I went to Ashmores for a Starters and puddings night. Any four off the menu, four puds if you like!

Went for a 75th Birthday meal on their 'Game Specials Night'. The food was incredible, what a talented chef! Between the 6 of us we pretty much covered everything on the menu and all dishes were mouth-wateringly good. The chef also sent out a complimentary plate of Quail.........delish! Jo was extremely accommodating and allowed us to bring a balloon, table decorations and a birthday cake, they even played Happy Birthday through the speakers whilst one of the lovely waitresses delivered the cake, what a lovely personal touch! All in all, a great night was had by all with great food and extremely good service and the puddings.........well they're just to die for!

Many thanks for another wonderful evening eating French inspired food. Our choices taken from the 4couse menu with 3 options on courses 2-4 inclusive were:-

My wife and I have eaten here a number of times now. The food is always beatifully cooked and tasty. The staff are always friendly and attentive.

We booked a table on Saturday for family meal, 7 of us as family visiting from Oxford. Excellent food as always, friendly service, great value. Love this restaurant

My husband and I visited Ashmores on a Saturday evening. When we walked in the restaurant it was pretty much full, which is always nice to see.The staff are very welcoming and prompt throughout. I had Duck for starter and Fillet Steak for main, it was gorgeous - didn't want it to end. My husband had the King Prawns and the Pork Fillet for main and again he said it was delicious. All mains come with complimentary vegetables and potatos, whereas most restaurants these days you have to pay an extra charge. To end the night we both had Chocolate Baileys Cheesecake and what a good choice it was. It was Great value for money for 3 courses. We will be back very very soon. Anyone thinking of going to Ashmores, you need to go and try it, you will not be disappointed.

Myself and my partner visited Ashmores last week. Couldn’t fault the place; great, friendly service, a nice variety on the Christmas menu and the food was really hot and tasty. Will definitely be visiting again in the new year!

We recently visited Ashmore's for the Christmas Fayre menu. The choice on the menu was brilliant, I went for goats cheese tartlet which was a super portion and turkey dinner accompanied with stuffing and pigs in blankets, they were to die for.

Have visited a few times and always thoroughly enjoyed. A wide choice of foods, even on the festive menu and generous portion size at a very reasonable price. Service is always friendly and welcoming. A great local family business.

Another birthday.....another excellent meal. The Christmas menu has such a variety that it was hard to choose. Thinking that I must leave room for a sweet I chose the very delicious melon for starter then the pork with chestnuts which really complemented this dish. Super roast potatoes and a good selection of vegetables really made a lovely main course. I chose the really moist Christmas pudding knowing that I am always too full on Christmas day. Once again the service was efficient and food was served by very pleasant staff. It is the best value meal in the area and no wonder the restaurant is often full. Booking is recommended.

Fabulous home cooked food full of flavour, lots of lovely dishes to choose from, a great family run business who really look after their customers. Great service from the friendly waitresses, fantastic theme nights, tapas, french evening, vegetarian evening plus cookery demonstrations are available too thoughout the year.

We have visited numerous times as a couple and as a family and never been disappointed. Tha ambiance is calm and pleasant, tables set out in an open spacious way. Great menus with well prepared excellent food. Recommend for an informal meal or a special occasion.

We took elderly parents and they enjoyed the ambience, service and food. The light lunch menu is good value with some adventurous dishes too, especially the choice of baguettes. Lovely sticky desserts too. The décor is a bit tired, especially the ceiling tiles but overall a good time and they clearly have a loyal local following.

We went for a meal at Asmores not having been for acouple of years. The food was excellent also the service was second to none. The restaurant now does a set menu with a 2 coyrse or 3 course option, the menu was varied & we had pleny to choose from & the price is so reasonable. We have booked again for the 3 course Sunday lunch.

Great quality food at very reaasonable prices with excellent service in a lovely friendly atmosphere. Never had a bad meal there. Always a pleasure.

Just had lunch at Ashmores. Again the visit was most enjoyable. The choice of dishes, the food served and pleasant service always make it a pleasure to eat there. We were able to talk without having to shout over loud music and how nice to have linen tablecloths instead of bare tables. Between us we tried the garlic mushrooms, tomato soup and bacon and avocado salad for starters. They were all delicious. Our main courses were chicken in Madeira and pork escalope. They all looked very appetizing and were very tastyWe were tempted into sharing the scrumptious chocolate pudding and pleased that we did. The prices of the menu served cannot be beaten anywhere in the area particularly for the excellent quality of the food This restaurant is a great asset to the village and I hope to return again soon.

We enjoyed a really delicious lunch at Ashmores. The standard of cooking is excellent and the quality of the food high. The value for money is outstanding. Great service too!

No fuss from arrival to being seated at our table. Menu varied and interesting dishes. A fairly good selection of wine too. Pricing is fair although many items carry a supplement.Service intervals were well spaced and all flowed smoothly.The food wasn't bad, the mussels were actually rather good. The problem was with the main courses, especially venison and lobster, both very dry and somewhat over-cooked. The duck was also rather heavy going but in fairness one guest certainly stated "no pink".We slipped in conversation that this was the 21st weekend of our youngest party member and they brought an extra candle sweet along for her, all very calm.

Friday night was a fish speciality evening at Ashmores.We began with an amuse bouche followed by a fish soup. Next came a crab dish as our choice of a Starter. For our Main course we chose panfried scallops. We decided on Lemon Bavarois served with lemon sorbet and raspberry couli followed by coffee and mints to end our meal.The food throughout was beautifully cooked and attractively presented. The service was efficient and friendly. At only £25 per head it was remarkable value. No wonder the restaurant was completely full!We see there is another speciality evening on July 28th. This time the theme is Italian. Needless to say we have already made a reservation.

Have been for an outstanding meal,the hosts and the staff were excellent,good and varied choose on the menu,really good value for money,have booked again and will keep doing so,keep doing what your doing its fantastic.P.S more RED cabbage The Murray's

This is maybe our third or fourth visit here - this time for their twice-yearly Steak Night special menu. Prices exactly the same as two years ago - you can't say that for many places! Our 'special request' for a table position was remembered and acted on. Again, the decor is a bit 'old' with wedding-type chair covers; nice linen tablecloths - but paper serviettes. The gent's loo still has tables stacked up in it. Mainly an older clientele - younger customers don't know what they are missing! Good,short menu, with range of steaks (rib eye, rump, fillet) duck breast and lamb rump - and sea bass for non meat-eaters. Great prices - three courses (with the fillet) for only £25. All courses were very palatable, and quantities were excellent. We had a slight problem with one steak - cooked just a little too medium for the 'medium-rare on the rare side' requested. They could not have been more helpful, instantly taking it back and, short wait, changed it. They even offered a complimentary drink to apologise, which (not taken up!) was really appreciated. Maybe the only poor point was that everyone was crowded into just half of the restaurant. It made it look fuller, and we weren't really on top of each other - but maybe a little more space would have been nice; you could easily hear conversations from other tables. Very friendly, cheerful and helpful waitresses. I've noticed, too, that management has started to acknowledge and respond to Tripadviser reviews - a really good PR move. Especially if I have had a poor experience, I do appreciate some comment from the restaurant by way of explanation or apology, so well done! Definitely a place to return to - again and again.

I have visited Ashmores Restaurant in Radcliffe on Trent several times with a small group of friends and part of a large group. The food is excellent and lots of choices and reasonable prices The venue is very cosy not sure how many people can be seated The staff are very helpful

This restaurant has always served imaginative food, including vegetarian food, for which I am so grateful. As a veggie, I usually find that there has been little effort put into vegetarian dishes when I visit restaurants or pubs so well done to Ashmores for continually putting great veggie options on their menu. I could not fault today's meal, nor the service at front of house. I always look forward to dining at your restaurant.

The first impression is that this traditional dining room is rather over-dressed for a lunch service, although I guess it would be fine for dinner. The ubiquitous cream colour scheme does seem somewhat bland and old fashioned, but its not unpleasant and is obviously a hit with some customers.The staff are very smiley and welcoming, although they could have taken more interest in our reactions to the food itself.Our pate and garlic bread starters were good and we both really enjoyed them. The fried salmon main course was also very pleasant, but the squash and nut risotto was swimming in excess stock, which is just careless. Vegetarians should not assume without asking that this dish is the usual single concession to veggies - it includes parmesan cheese, which itself can never be veggie. On a more positive note, I disagree with the review from a young man who thought the red cabbage dish was too reminiscent of the 1980s, (apparently around the time he was just a babe in arms!). Ours included lovely, succulent raisins and was topped with a gentle citrus dressing, making it interesting and quite delicious.Whilst for me this restaurant doesn't get the hysterical plaudits of some reviewers, it is better than "Average" and is also quite well priced, so its well worth a try.

The food, first and foremost, has never disappointed. I have been going to this restaurant for the past 6 years with family and have always been delighted with my meal choice but a little envious of what was on other people's plates! The staff are always welcoming and polite and have never grumbled at us for being the last to leave every time we go!If you want a meal that's cooked to perfection then go to Ashmores in Radcliffe On Trent, you won't be disappointed!

Since discovering this place I regularly eat here, the food is excellent. The service is fast and the staff friendly and extremely helpful. They could not do enough for us, even preparing gluten free alternatives to the gluten containing dishes, which is a god send as a coeliac.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend people search this place out and eat here.

This place is so incredible! This is by far my favourite restaurant, from the amazing staff who cannot do enough for you to the INCREDIBLE food! The menu is always so varied and the combination of flavours is UNREAL and so beautiful presented! I have ate here so many times when visiting family in Nottingham and even living in London I cannot find a restaurant that matches this in food or service! How about opening an Ashmores 2 down south?

I have been a few times as I live in the village but this is my first review. The food is excellent!! I have never had a bad dish here, always felt welcomed by the friendly staff and have never had to wait for table service, meals or drinks. It's so nice having a restaurant in walking distance that is so good as ashmores. Very welcoming with families also and caters well for children. Always a returning and happy customer.

family Sunday lunch and was an excellent meal with great choice. All beautifully prepared and excellent flavours. Service very efficient. could not ask for more.

After being in Radcliffe, we decided to take a visit to Ashmore's! Since we last visited, they've gotten a brand new carpet that makes the room a lot more open and bright, looks very fresh. I took my friend and his teenage children, all were very impressed. The portions are extremely good value for money, complimentary bread, complimentary vegetables and potatoes, the works! I had the rump of lamb, which was delicious, and I was happy to see the winter red cabbage on the menu, my favourite. Jo and her team give such a warm service and makes you feel so comfortable, a definite visit if you're in the area.

Whenever we are persuaded to go here for family events there is always RED CABBAGE! This has not changed in 10+ years. Neither has the decor to be honest - it looks like a nursing home. This place needs to modernise or risk going under as the captive audience of 80+ somethings die off.Our family group found that the service deiminished throughout the service - plates passed over other guests around the table to us rather than being served correctly.If you are under 80 years of age then avoid this place!

A group of 66 of us from our rambling group had the most fantastic Christmas meal here - ever! The food, service and ambience were second to none and the whole team did a fantastic job in looking after us. Jo was delightful to deal with and really helped in setting up the whole event. Excellent value for money and our group is already saying they want to go back there next year!

We had such a lovely meal last night, we both opted for the Christmas turkey dinner and it was incredible. You can tell all the food is homemade, absolute quality. Couldn't say enough positive things about this restaurant. Lovely atmosphere too. Thanks a lot.

Great food here! Also a fantastic choice! We went for Sunday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it! The restaurant is beautifully set out and very comfortable and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The owner is runs this restaurant like a finely tuned military operation!

If you are ever in Radcliffe on Trent book a table at Ashmores. It is well worth it. The food is always hot when served up including the vegetables served up piping hot in hot tureens - the waitresses are always warning to be careful as the serving dishes are hot. To me this is the sigh of a good restaurant knowing that your food is well cooked. There is always a good choice and the desserts are fabulous making it difficult to choose. The staff are pleasant and helpful and there is a small bar with good selection of wines spirits beers, ciders and soft drinks. I have frequented the restaurant numerous times and never been disappointed. Radcliffe on Trent is very fortunate to have this facility.

This is a family run restaurant in the village. The service is friendly and good and the quality of food always consistently good. The various theme evenings and cookery demonstrations are good value.

Visited Ashmores for a sunday lunch, it was perfect. We we greeted with a very warm welcome and a menu which i could of had anything from. The portions were outstanding for the price you pay its great, free unlimited bread, which is rare at restaurants now a days. 3 courses for £14.95 absolute bargain. Ashmores is a traditional english restaurant which is limited in nottingham. Keep it up.

What a gem!A visit to this family run restaurant is indeed a pleasure. It has a varied menu which changes regularly, with 2/3 course options for both lunch and dinner. Speciality evenings are held regularly. These include French, Italian, Game, Tapas etc. The food is cooked well and presented attractively. A comprehensive and realistically priced wine list is available. The service is efficient and friendly, so a visit guarantees an enjoyable experience.Since finding this gem we are regular visitors.A visit during the summer months is always a treat for me, as on the menu is lobster thermidor or cold lobster with salad. The price includes a strawberry dessert. Brilliant value and glorious food! Pre booking is not essential but advisable.Last night's French themed dinner of 4courses, coffee and a glass of wine for £25 was superb value and well worth travelling miles to partake in.Keep up the good work Ashmores!

A Friend and myself have recently visited Ashmores and we finally gave the summer Lobster promotion a go!!! (Unfortunately it has now ended). We have been going to the restaurant for many years, eating both lunch and dinners, which are always wonderful, and at a great value for money!! Ashmores for a few years now have been doing a summer Lobster promotion and we thought we better go and see what it is like… WOW – that’s all I can say!! It was delicious. I had the cold lobster salad, which was with avocado, mango and a lovely lime mayonnaise whereas my friend had the hot one, thermidor, which was served with a brandy, mustard, and cheese sauce - it was to die for!!! Both of us had 1/2 a lobster, which was £15.50 each including new Potatoes with a sprinkle of fresh mint, and to finish were strawberries and jelly with ice cream, the presentation was wonderful! Overall we had a lovely lunch at a great price and delicious food!! We will definitely be returning for lots of other tasty meals and especially next year for the summer lobster promotion.

We visited Ashmore's for the third time this year to experience their pudding and starter evening. It was great as always. 7 choices each of both starter and desert and you could choose any 4 in any order. A great night out with a difference. The food was really well presented and tasty. Great value for money. Can't wait for our visit in December for the Christmas menu. Really recommend this restaurant if you have not tried it before. Always a friendly welcome and superb food.

Not quite a hidden gem as this restaurant is well located in the centre of Radcliffe-on-Trent, just off the A52, but it's offers great food at a great price. Whilst it's possibly the opposite of trendy, this is it's appeal. You visit for the food, not the decor! Great British food at a good price - we actually visited on a Italian evening - not entirely sure where Italy featured (apart from the antipasti - which was nice - infact every course was nice - well presented and altogether very good.£130 for four people, four excellent courses, two bottles of wine. Therefore very good value. Friendly service. We will return.

My wife and I visited Ashmores for our wedding anniversary on 1st April 2016. It was a special menu based on fish. Every course was special from the mackerel pate amuse Boucher, the chowder, the starter - I had king prawns pan fried with chorizo, and then roast cod. The dessert was Apple and sultana with ice cream and cream. Finishing with coffee I was so full! The whole meal was excellent, and complemented by a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. Can't wait to visit again for the excellent food, attentive service and good value evening out

I and my partner ,plus my cousin & her husband enjoyed a very ,, , very ,, nice meal (with wine ) to celebrate my 75th birthday . It was well prepared & served equally well.Having been there before( numerous anniversary & birthday celebrations) the usual attention etc.etc. was apparent.

We met friends here for lunch and were delighted with the warm welcome and friendly service. How nice to be treated to crisp white table linen too. The set menu was not extensive but we were all able to find something to suit. The service was attentive but not rushed and the food hot and tasty. Well worth another visit.

We have just had my dads 90th birthday lunch here and it was truly wonderful. The staff did everything to make it perfect for us. The food was gorgeous, you couldn't fault anything. We were a large party but everything was handled perfectly. A big thank you to all the staff and the family who run it, you have a business to be proud of.

It's been 18 months since we moved permanently to Radcliffe on Trent and we only just tried Ashmores on the spur of the moment. We were only two of the ten customers that evening but it was mid-weekl (Wednesday) and on other days there is a sign outside indicating full house.Service was fine and food good; excellent value for money.

We have been enjoying meals at Ashmores for many years, having certain birthdays etc in this establishment. Always a warm welcome and the food just brilliant...but that is not the case now. We usually have Christmas Lunch at Ashmores and to be honest it has been very good but this year, cool welcome, shoved into a corner table and to top it the glass of Prosecco was quite a time before it came to the table. It was so awful we did not drink it and thought if this is the best they could do they should not have served it. Service was slow - starter for me was the best part of the meal. The turkey was so evenly cut it obviously was a prepacked jobbie, the vegetables were just awful what there was of them and my Cheese Board came straight out of the fridge ...solid cheese, solid butter and very cold plates. Cannot say much more really but will say this is the last time we will eat at this particular Restaurant. Also, must say, employing staff from the Village is not really a good idea as we, in particular, felt very uncomfortable. All I can say it is such a shame Clive is not in attendance there due to ill health and both Chris and I would like to wish him a speedy recovery.

This was my first visit to Ashmores and I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look much from the outside and the decor is rather old fashioned. However the food was excellent and the service second to none with friendly staff. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.I had 3 courses which is unusual for me as I usually just have a main or dessert but as the food on the menu was the kind of food I liked I decided to have all 3. I had a melon starter in a fruit coulis and I think I had venison for my main course which was delicious, followed by a chocolate dessert. The portions were just right.It was quite a drive from where we live but was definitely worth it. Will be back again.

Not especially auspicious from the outside and slightly old fashioned inside - not a bad point in the respect that it is a change to have crisp, clean table cloths nowadays. The lunch menu was slightly limited and the service a tad on the slow side but the food was fine if not exceptional. Worth the detour but we would not have found the place had friends not recommended it and we'd been in the area at the time.

I recently held an early 80th birthday celebration at Ashmores. Mark, the chef, very kindly cooked my favourite dish of Scallops. They were superb, served with crispy bacon and very well presented. A good selection of fresh vegetables were included in the price, which is unusual, as similar standard restaurants in the area charge extra for vegetables. As I love shellfish, I chose the mussels cooked in wine, garlic and cream for my starter. They, too, were delicious. At the moment, they have special offers of Lobster and strawberries OR Mussels and frites I shall be going there for a meal again soon before the shellfish offers end.Keep up the good work Ashmores we are so fortunate to have you in the village.

I spent ten days in Radcliffe on Trent this month and had three lovely meals at Ashmores again. The restaurant is comfortable and (unlike many restaurants these days) had pristine white tablecloths on each occasion - that really adds to the enjoyment of the occasion. The choice of starters, main courses and desserts was wide, interesting and tempting. The food was beautifully cooked and the presentation and service were excellent. I was surprised that they could offer such fare at the prices quoted, as well as offering two or three course tariffs.I wish that I lived nearer than 162 miles from Nottingham as I would be a frequent diner there.

Meal was adequate, but insufficient vegetables, and when we asked for more we were informed that there would be an extra charge. There was 4 in our part and the vegetables provided would have barely been adequate for two persons

We called in here on spec driving back from Nottingham around 8.30 mid-week, and needed a nice meal to round off a pleasant day at the tennis - we were looking for something more than a standard pub chain, and came across Ashmores which looked interesting. The visit started with trying to look at a menu outside (what sort of dining, what sort of price) - but it was really hard to work anything out - there was a 'newsletter menu' in the window, small print, covering the year from Jan to August - and the fact they were closed early June - so we were trying to work out, now, if they were even open! Went inside, looked a bit plush and expensive, and asked to see menu and if still open - they'd need to check with kitchen, as it was a 'specials night' and they only had two (largeish) parties in, who were well into their meals. Yes, able to stay open for us; special menu (a sea bass and a chicken dish, hardly steak!) and three or so steaks. There was a price alongside each meal. We orders prawn cocktail and the fillet steaks - my wife and I are diametrically opposite, she wanted medium rare on the rare side, I wanted well done on the shoe leather side...Prawn cocktails came, perfectly nice, though maybe slightly small and insipid looking prawns, nicely garnished. Wife had a glass of an excellent Merlot. The steaks were faultless - they came with individual choices of around five different sauces. Large portion of shoestring chips, peas and mushrooms accompanied. For desserts we had a semifredo and a vacherin (which my wife thought had slightly tart or sour taste, but which I found beautifully sour, so we ended up swapping most of our desserts, and both enjoyed them! Coffee and mint to finish off. We expected the bill to be quite considerable, assuming we were paying the advertised price for the steak, and that the starter and dessert were extra - but they were included as a fixed price 3-course menu, varying only slightly according to the main dish that was ordered. So a total cost of £55, including the wine and coke, was a good end to the day. We saw other 'specials menus', all around £20/£25 per person for three courses, and on this basis would be hard pushed to fault this place. A recent gourmet fish even (can't think of a gourmet evening without think about Faulty Towers!) was £25, and included option of half-lobster thermidor as a main, and scallops and king prawn starter.Decor (and the chairs, especially), was a bit 'wedding party'; maybe a few too many tables in the restaurant - I think would be better to have more space between them, and to cater, normally, for around half the number of covers they offer; the (large) men's loo was filled with a couple of old spare tables, but hey, you go for the food! A place to return to, definitely, and would definitely recommend this location. Check out their website (www.ashmoresrestaurant.com) and see the Specials nights - Fish, Italian, Vegetarian, French, Tapas - the list goes on... It was an older crowd on the evening we went there, but don't let that put you off!

It's like walking back in time. The decor and food belongs in the 80's.It's like eating lunch in a nursing home. The food its self is ok but boring. Tinned soup and frozen veg.

After moving from Radcliffe 8 years ago, revisited for mothers day whilst visiting family and so very glad I did. We were welcomed warmly from the friendly staff who were very attentive even with the restaurant being completely full, they could not do enough for you! The menu was very appealing, I had the sea bass cooked to perfection the standards are the same from when we were living back in the village which is really impressive. Finally to mention the desserts me and my wife both had the apple and sultana pudding with butterscotch sauce, licked the bowl clean absolutely delicious, cannot fault the place, keep it up!!

We have been visiting this restaurant for about fifteen years as it is convenient for the more "genteel" members of the family who can not walk far. The veg on offer seems never to have changed - Christmas dinner after Christmas dinner has been graced with red cabbage, peas, carrots and boiled potatoes, as have meals at other times of the year. Last week was the final straw - three different meals ordered, all sharing the same veg - red cabbage, peas, carrots and boiled potatoes (and joy of joys, broccoli)! As for putting boiled onions with salmon, what is the cook thinking of? Mistook them for leeks, perchance. The sauce was excellent, but again, the same sauce for two different dishes - why? Surely one should expect the veg and sauces to fit the main part of the meal? Perhaps asparagus, kale, green beans etc. haven't made it to Radcliffe yet? But the very worst aspect of the whole experience - it was a FIXED PRICE menu, but of the eight starters, four had a supplement; likewise of nine mains, four had a supplement - including one of £5.95! Fixed price? A joke, surely. Please, chef or cook, rethink your veg options, and manager, rethink your pricing. To say nothing of the décor...

We have been eating at Ashmore's Restaurant for many years (20 years plus) and we are not old fuddy duddies.. The standards have always been very high and the food second to non. We have eaten at the top restaurants in many countries, quite a few at Michelin standards together with ones that hold Mitchelin **stars and to be honest Ashmores can hold their own with them - just love the place as standards always the same - good, friendly, food brilliant and cleanliness amazing - well done Ashmore's!!!

Not eaten here for several years after a bad experience. My meal the other evening was delicious and plentiful served by attentive helpful staff. The Christmas menu was varied and catered for vegetarians.nDecor was very dated as has been pointed out by other reviewers. The place was full on Friday night which was a surprise as often looks very quiet when walking past. Will definitely try again.

Ignore the negative reviews! We went here for a family meal, and everything was just fine. Lovely, fresh food; friendly service; efficient.

Have been to Ashmores several times and the food is always of a high standard. They cater for veggies which is a real plus. The staff are friendly, attentive and efficient.

This is a family-run restaurant which consistently provides a high standard of freshly cooked food. It is unique in it's traditional approach to good food and service. The decor reflects this and does not attempt to present a "Blingy" environment. Some might say it has been caught in a time-warp, but this should not deter future visits. What they do, is done very well.I've already booked for their "Lobster & Strawberries" offer, and we are looking forward to it.

Visited with my husband on a Thursday evening. The 3 course menu was great value for money and the food was very good. The restaurant itself was quiet but the staff were very attentive and pleasant. All in all a lovely experience and one I will be happy to repeat.

We were invited here by some friends and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. There was a good choice on the menu. The food was really nice & well presented (especially the desserts!). The staff was friendly & courteous. They also have special offers as well as special events from time to time. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
