The Greenman Inn in Derbyshire Dales

The fish and chips here vastly improved my impression of Ashbourne! Arrived at the zero food hour of 2pm on an August summer afternoon. After finding several places closed and not serving food we stumbled into the oasis of the Greenman hotel! Had amazing fish and chips and a pint or two of Estrella! It was very tasty and just what we needed. Keep it up all at the Greenman! Thanks - I'm ready for a sleep now - I understand that they have accommodation too! Highly recommend IMHO.

Dropped in for lunch and was not disappointed. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic huge portions and not overpriced.

A friend visited for Fathers Day and recommended to us. We had lunch on Wednesday 13 September. Restaurant was busy with visitors and also a vintage car club. Nice Bar, cosy dining room and plenty of verandah and garden seating. A very nice clean hotel and publican very attentive. Partner had the Prawn & Crab Pasta. I had the Pork BBQ ribs. Both meals very good. Publican recommended the house Shiraz and it was quite OK. All In all a nice place for a good meal. Well done to Publican & Staff.

This was our third visit to The Greenman Inn. The menu felt a little more reduced this time however, the choice of food available was varied and included a nice selection of fish dishes. It is fair to say the food is of a consistently high standard on all our visits. However, the service felt rushed despite the restaurant not appearing to be overly busy and several occasions we had to ask to slow down the service. Despite this another enjoyable evening !

Yet again first class food nice not overpriced wine and friendly service with a cosy warm pub that is spotless Open fire great evening had by all

This is a traditional coaching inn on the main street - still with it's name over the road. We visited just for afternoon drinks. Decent range available. There is pleasant outdoor seating. Clearly quite popular with locals

Lovely food, great staff & live music. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice Sunday lunch.

The entrance is tucked at the back of the courtyard, approached through the arch from the main road. The signs give no indication of the simple, sharp but homely reassurance behind. The bar area had a lovely hub-bub atmosphere, people meeting for pre-dinner drinks. The bar staff were quick to serve and happy on a Busy Saturday night to slot us in for early dining. The menu was simple, I would describe it as “a man’s menu”, not too many choices whilst varied sufficiently to whet the appetite. I opted for venison whilst my partner chose cod cheek scampi. Due to the most delicious food arriving before us neither even thought to take a photo, but a Wow! Would sum up the experience - beautifully presented, perfect, flavoursome, delicious are just some of the words we used to describe our meals. We would both highly recommend the restaurant and would also like to thank the most attentive staff for making our evening special

Asked a waiter if we had to order at the bar after waiting for over 15 minutes. Told he would be with us in a minute. After another 10 minutes another waiter said they were no longer serving food. He said it was our fault for sitting at a table. I think it was because the chef wanted to watch England vs Wales.

Stumbled across this gem whilst walking along the high street in Ashbourne. We booked for Sunday lunch as the venue and menu were different from anything else we could see in the town. We are glad we did! We were able to book an outside table for the 4 of us (including two teenagers). The food was clearly of quality and cooked with skill but it was the front of house team that made the difference. They were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you!

Lunch and dinner Whilst having a few days in ashbourne popped in here for lunch, and decided to return for dinner, staff were excellent and very covid compliant. Food was lovely and portions generous. Hope to return😀

A wonderful Sunday Lunch, relaxed atmosphere and exceptional food with friendly service and extras for our daughter I wasn’t going to order a starter but I’m so glad I did - I ordered the Goosnargh Duck Liver Parfait with dried grapes, baby fig, px sherry and hazelnuts The parfait was super smooth and the sherry made the dish really stand out, it was absolutely delicious Our daughter was treated to double yorkshire puddings, the 18hr lamb shoulder was melt in your mouth tender and impeccable and extra gingerbread men biscuits in chocolate ice cream for little one’s dessert Always a pleasure to dine here, a lovely friendly atmosphere and absolutely perfect food Thank You!

The restaurant was welcoming on a very rainy Friday night. They had noted our special date from the booking and brought a complimentary glass of Prosecco to us on arrival. The service was sharp, businesslike and attentive with no detail missed. The food was freshly cooked, being great on the eye, and even better on the palate. The sourdough bread and home churned butter complemented the superb fresh sardines and tomatoes in our starter, and all were delightfully arranged on the plate. The house Merlot was served in wafer thin glasses and was in a perfect temperate condition. The linen and table setting were immaculate and the staff knew their craft well. The ambience was romantic yet contemporary. We will definitely revisit in the future and would recommend the restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food cooked by skilled chefs, well served by staff who care about service.

We had a fresh and light lunch in this newly renovated pub-a good menu with plenty of light and more substantial offerings. Good service and very pleasing atmosphere.

Great spot for a lunch or dinner. Newly refurbished and looking great. We occasionally stop here for a drink on our way to or from Victor Harbor or Middleton and have noticed the huge improvement in the atmosphere.well done!

Ashbourne is a quiet tiny town that most people would blink and miss, so it was a surprise to find a quality place to eat here. Recently completely renovated, the atmosphere was great, inside and outside areas, meals delicious and good priced.

Excellent food and venue. Friendly staff, local food and wines. Family friendly with calves to pat and feed, chickens, cubby house and cubby house

Today we went for the first time. The pub itself looks charming. The customer server was well below par. The meals were not as we ordered, and two meals arrived 20 mintues after the first meal (We ordered at the same time). We ordered a jug of (flat) diet coke which filled 3 glasses cost $22. When I questioned the staff we were told that, that is the cost as there is ice at the bottom?I would not return. I would advise you not to either.Terrible experience and atmosphere.

the Deserts are amazing i love going there just for them my Fave is vanilla and cinnamon ice cream with Churros <3 <3 and 4 Stars to the seafood Pasta it was AWESOME ! and the Staff members there are so nice and Friendly i would suggest this place to Every one its such a lovely place to go

they had flathead fish on menu i asked for it did not have any they said we have whiting so i deciced to have it i tasted like cheap fish from coles it was crap plus the vegies were not much better as well

Ist visit to this really great little family friendly Inn. We celebrated Fathers Day Dinner .Lovely Roast Pork,Burgers,Snitzel and tasty deserts. Love to go back again.Lovely woodfire.

Disappointed with the service. Not very friendly. Spent more time engaged with his phone. Didn't remove plates after our meal. Didn't ask us if we enjoyed our meals. Didn't ask if we wanted dessert. Went to counter to order dessert.Then didn't inquire if we,wanted coffee. Overall no customer service.

In a beautiful setting and freshly refurbished potential plus!! New owners and new menu. This hotel is a gem waiting to be cut! Please give it atmosphere and a welcoming country vibe.

The drive through Adelaide Hills to Greenman Inn at Ashbourne was very beautiful. Our family birthday celebration for 14 people was easily catered for by the extensive menu for guests ranging from 8 months to 80 years, including meal choice for one guest with diverse food constraints. Well done chef. The decor is austere in a very old 1800's building with painting renovations in progress. The friendly service and relaxing warm atmosphere added to the occasion, making a very enjoyable day out for lunch. We will be pleased to visit again.

Another great Sunday Lunch they were very busy but still managed to fit us in and served my Wife and I a great lunch.Thank you

I am really sorry to give this rating but as a Inn/Pub food safety should be the 1st priority. The staff were friendly and the food was ok but the major problem i had was the cleanliness of the pub. Rustic look and old charm is great but the place has to be clean. There were cobwebs everywhere and we were seated next to the window and i was appalled to see dead insects and droppings on the window pane! Something from the wall fell on my plate as well! This place seriously need to be renovated and CLEANED before anyone gets sick from the food!

In a unique rustic 1860s pub, we found a warm welcome, friendly service, and an interesting conversation about everything and nothing. While we waited for our fresh food to be prepared, as distinct from our frozen food to be thawed, we engaged the barman in conversation about local history, and received accurate and thoughtful advice.

On our bike ride this weekend we discovered this little hidden gem.

We had often ridden past 'The Greenman Inn' on our regular motorcycle rides and done the normal "We must stop in there one day".

This place truly is one of SA's best kept secrets. Just a great little pub with no frills and no pokies. Exactly how a pub is meant to be. Great food!
