In a town full of pubs you may miss this great little pub. A proper pub with a warm and welcoming landlord, great beers and a friendly atmosphere. All the staff were great (yes I kept returning). Check out the Bill Bryson quote on the wall.

We dropped in for a pint before going for dinner on Sunday night. Good selection of beers in a friendly traditional pub. We went back later as they had a quartet playing some enjoyable folkie type music. No cover charge. Well worth a visit if you like proper beer and good company.

We spent a great Saturday evening here during a short trip to Ashbourne. There was very enjoyable live music, and the landlord/barman gave particularly good service to our dogs, offering water and biscuits. We had a great evening!

This is a proper pub. It sells drink but no food. It is traditional in every way and keeps all of its beers to the highest of standards. So if you value what I described it is an outstanding place. Highly recommended.

The Smiths Tavern is a cosy, clean and comfortable tavern, with a great selection of whiskeys, ales and pub snacks that are affordable and always high quality. A great stop off for any visitor or local, be sure to check it out and the live music afternoons/evenings are second to none.

We had the great pleasure of dropping in for a drink after the malt whisky window display caught my eye. What a fabulous pub, a warm welcome was followed by a close examination of the long malt list by a certain lady. No problems for me as I just fancied a nice pint of one the fab real ales on offer. Malt decision made, it was served with a glass of water and a dropper to release the oils of the dram. That is a first and exactly how it should be done, top marks all round from us. A cracking pub, really traditional decor complemented by great service. What a shame we were passing through.

A pleasant pub in the middle of Ashbourne. Some good real ales but rather pricey I thought. Could do with an outside area at the back as there's no room at the front. I don't know if they do food but something at at reasonable price would be good. Pleasant landlord and, I suspect, an equally pleasant clientele.

Charming little pub, I’ve lived in Ashbourne on and off for most of my life and only discovered this place recently when I started going to the Peakland Players acting workshops and some of the group went here afterwards. Friendly staff, good selection of beers and no loud music. Now my go-to drinking spot in Ashbourne.

What a find! Can't quite believe how i've not noticed this gem of a real ale pub over years of visiting the Peak District. Traditional interior, friendly staff and a cracking selection of ales from the local area and further afield. With folk and games nights, this place is clearly a community asset. The epitome of a great boozer, don't go changing....

After recently visiting Rafters, we had to try Rafters at Riverside. We decided on a Sunday lunch for my birthday. Myself, my husband and our 6 year old son were looked after by Alistair and his team, and we couldn’t fault a single thing! The service, the drinks and the food were all outstanding. It was without doubt the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had, and our son absolutely loved it too. The wagyu beef and the Yorkshire pudding with a hidden surprise were delicious, and the children’s menu was fantastic too. We can’t wait to come again!

A tucked away gem in Shirley. Cuisine extremely good. Friendliness of staff excellent. Service superb. Should I find myself nearby again, this is the pub and restaurant I would immediately seek out! Went there with local residents Steve and Lucy, but we were all treated like locals. A real home from home! Just go there!
