Very disappointed to see the bowling green have changed their menu, the sides have all been changed IMO for the worse, the lovely prawns are no longer available as a side, and you no longer get the onion rings, mushroom, or tomato with your steak, you now get more green leaf salad, with a Parmesan topping not my choice to go with a steak, but they tell me it’s popular, we used to go here regularly as a family of 4 adults, or just myself and my wife, I don’t honestly think we will be using it anymore which is sad, as we have been eating here for many years. Sometimes change is not always the best option.

We booked this based on the reviews we'd read and we were not disappointed. Its a bit of a walk uphill if you're walking up from Ashbourne town but its well worth the walk. This pub is a really friendly, I'd say oldy-worldly (on the inside), very dog friendly in the bar (and they have a nice restaurant area too). Very friendly locals and exceptional bar / food staff. They came to our table to take drinks orders, then food orders and made sure we were topped up with drinks all evening (which was great!) Food wise, we had the pork belly bites (which was the absolutely winner), we also had the ribs and a braised beef with mash. All of the food was very good and we would certainly come back here again.

Bowling Green for me is easily the best restaurant in Ashbourne! Eaten here many at dinner but this was the first time trying the breakfast menu out and it most certainly delivered! It really has something for everyone - full English, full Scottish, Vegetarian and American style pancakes. Food quality was outstanding and service was lovely and friendly as always.

Simple advice, get the brisket! I didn't, I got the rib eye, my wife got the brisket and could only manage half of it. So I got the rest and it was superb!

Found on google for a stop off for food on the way home from a lovely day at Dovedale. Waited 30minutes for them to take our order, then another 40 minutes passed and still no food. On asking the waiter (who appeared scruffy) was greeted with attitude fuelled comments such as - we are not McDonalds and no idea how much longer the food would take. Such a shame as we were looking forward to dining here.

Worst Breakfast we have ever had... The bacon was so burnt it wasn't fit to eat, the sausage wasn't much better ... The pancakes my son had was covered in that much chocolate spread he would of been ill if he had eaten it... wouldn't recommend. But the young girls serving were very polite.

We found this location on Trip Advisor and since we were in the area we decided to stop by for an early dinner on a Sunday. The venue was quite busy and seating was at a premium but we ordered at the bar and food arrived in good time. The staff were all very polite and personable. The bar had a good selection of drinks. I had a Surf n Turf pizza with scoop chips (chips shaped like scoops, not a scoop of chips, as I initially thought) and my wife had soup. We were both very pleased with our choices although I could see my wife was jealous at the king prawns on my pizza. Would definitely visit again.

Went here for our anniversary meal out and it did not disappoint. From the minute we walked in the staff were absolutely outstanding and couldn't do enough for us. They were all extremely friendly, efficient and professional. We had a right laugh with them about something that would take too long to explain, they were brilliant. The food was also exceptional. We had the sticky beef to share to start with, then I had the steak and blue cheese pizza, the wife had the surf and turf pizza and I portion of scoop fries to share, it was all fantastic. Credit to the staff, chefs and management for running a fantastic pub / restaurant.

The Bowling Green Steakhouse is a lovely pub/restaurant. Plenty of room so you’re not sat on top of the table next you. The staff are friendly and efficient. The food is tasty and they do serve large portions, so factor this is when ordering. I have to fast for a day if I want to have a starter, main and desert! It’s extremely sensibly priced too.

Amazing!! Driven past here so many times over the years but finally decided to give it a go and took my lad there for his birthday treat as he loves a steak. We both had the RibEye and I have to say it was probably one of the best I have ever had. Not an ounce of fat left on the plate. The extra of Haggis was a great touch, rarely seen but tasted lovely. Superb chips and onion rings. We were so full we didn't even manage another course. All the staff were really lovely and attentive and a credit to the restaurant which was also nicely decorated and fresh and inviting. I will certainly be back as well worth the trip out to Ashbourne. Thank you.

Popped into The Bowling Green after a long walk up the Tissington trail and we're welcomed by incredibly friendly staff who got us a table in the doggy friendly side. The food was absolutely delicious,triple cooked chips cooked to perfection and a fabulous piece of Cod, my partner had the Tomato Garlic & Chilli King Prawn Pasta which was amazing and quite a large serving. Thoroughly enjoyed visiting here and will most definitely be dropping in again

In the grand theater of gastronomy, this steakhouse stands as a luminous gem. The service, a ballet of precision and warmth, sets the stage for a culinary odyssey. Now, the steak, a symphony of succulence, akin to the opulence of the Roman Empire at its zenith. Each bite, a conquest of the senses, heralding an epicurean triumph that resonates through the annals of culinary history. A sublime experience, transcending the ordinary, leaving an indelible mark on the palate's tapestry.

I’ve been going here regularly for food for well over a decade. Not your average pub food at all. The steaks are far far better than steakhouses that charge twice as much (nevermind average pub steaks) It’s gets busy (especially on the weekend) so book ahead if possible. Dog friendly in the bar area too. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, pleasant staff, lovely atmosphere. One of the best steaks I've had in this world, the center cut fillet (medium) was so good. A couple pints of beer were cool and refreshing. I was so full from my entrée I didn't order my own dessert, but the healthy portion of crème brûlée I took from my partner was wonderful. If you're even vaguely in the area, it's worth the trip.

The service was excellent and the staff very helpful and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and the best steaks we've had in a long time. A must visit and only 7 miles from where we were staying at rivendale retreat. The prices are very fair and reasonable. There is a customer car park opposite which is handy.

Booked a table after seeing all the great reviews on line was really looking forward to eating there this evening..then waited for an hour for main course and when it did finally arrive got half way thru what was a beautiful steak when a table of 4 in the corner started messing about and one of the party kept making noises like he was bring up flem over and over again. Put me right off my food when I challenged him he said he was only having a laugh with his mates and to top it off the staff encouraged him ...WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT

We have been having Pizzas from the Bowling Green over lockdown and they have been amazing delivered on time and with a smile so we decided to eat in and try the full menu and the whole experience was a disappointment. Firstly we arrive and they didn’t seem to know about our booking even though we had a confirmation email. Once seated we ordered starter and main course. The starter garlic bread, lovely, and mushroom rarebit, terrible (2 mushrooms swimming is a vile sauce). Then mains came, mine a steak and a beef and beer pie. The steak was over done and the pie smelt strongly of kidney which at the end of the meal was assured there was no kidney in it. The dauphinois potatoes were was so tasteless. Altogether not good, as no check back until they came to clean away out plates. The meal was made worst by having a dining room full of noisy kids and inconsiderate parents. We won’t be visiting again in a hurry.
