Ye Olde Vaults in Derbyshire Dales

Stopped for a quick pint while looking round Ashbourne beer was ok for a standard pub not a great choice of ale . I did notice people having a beer outside with food they'd bought elsewhere which was good

Beer excellent at a bargain price.Pub generally dirty.Not very welcoming place nor do you feel comfortable.Language from end of bar disgraceful with contributions from licencee It feels more like you are intruding into their family space rather than a pub.I believe that the manager was moving on ..God knows to which other place they can work their magic on ! Apart from their cronies and us the pub was deserted..I wonder why ? I just hope that the new manager can turn this "proper" pub around because I don't know how they can remain open with so little custom. The pub might be old but there is character there,just no atmosphere.

Popped in for a drink when exploring Ashbourne. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Situated in the centre of town. Outside seating too.

They serve cobs but do not have food hygiene certificate, place isn't very clean but it has changed management a few times, present people there now has had it b4 but he has a manager that stands in when not there and he bars a lot of people but druggies don't get barred, this pub is going downhill

As a group of friends we went for an impromptu drink and received wonderful, friendly service. Will definitely be returning.

Dirtiest pub in Ashbourne, outside full of cig ends and broken glass, you have to get a cloth to clean tables yourself before sitting down, staff don’t clear glasses, bar top full of dirty glasses, staff on phones, disgraceful, it may be cheap beer but no excuse for zero standards. Picture has a plate of food, they don’t do food

Use this pub on a regular basis. It is always clean, prices are the best in Ashbourne. Friendly staff. Ideal for all sports on their many screens and often show 2 football matches at the same time. The beer is kept well and the locals will keep you entertained. This pub is well worth a visit if you are in Ashbourne. Check out their Facebook for latest events

Visited this pub on on 15/08/2019.a young 12yr old girl was sat behind the bar whilst mother and son were in the back watching on cctv.when questioned over this ,was rather rude.Is this how the brewery train their staff in customer services. OBVIOUSLY not.please educate your staff manners and customer care for a pub to thrive in what is a good community. Totally disgusted with attitude of land lady and son. Hopefully brewery will realise how these people are dragging a sleeping goldmine down.

We stopped here on what turned out to be a very short pub crawl of Ashbourne (everything closed!). There was a young lad and lass behind the bar. He greeted us politely and served the drinks whilst she ignored us and played on her mobile whilst sat on a stool behind the bar. I got the impression she was supposed to be training him, but he did ok without her. If you can get past the weird smell (possibly the loos) its comfortable enough for a quick drink. They offer a good selection at very reasonable prices. The building itself is a proper pub style rather than a modern bar with comfy seats and plenty of tables. The loos were surprisingly modern - more akin to a conference centre! A great place for a couple of drinks to start the evening.

We ended a Dovedale walk with a stop in Ashbourne... looking for food. We found it at Benny's in the square but ... one of our group needed a loo break so popped into the Ye Olde Vaults to ask to use theirs... that led to an invite to buy a drink & eat our food in the pub, despite having bought it elsewhere!!! That's a welcome you don't see very often elsewhere, we enjoyed our food and drink and enjoyed the company of local folks enjoying a lunch time pint. The clean toilets seem newly renovated, the decor in the pub is simple and functional - overall a great pub, doing a great job of what a pub should be... the subtle branding affirms Ye Olde Vaults to be part of the Craft Union Pub company and together they and the landlord(s) are doing a great job!

I recently went into the ye olde vaults, on Saturday the 2nd of Feb. And the new young land lady was incredibly rude, had attitude and verbally abusive towards customers. WAS a good pub until the new couple came along.

busy hub of a local pub whith friendly knowledgeable staff and decent beer, small choice on ales but well kept.

Really bad. Sad bunch of local blokes swearing and propping up the bar sharing 1970’s banter. Landlord was enjoying the company. Only positive was that the cask beer was well kept and a decent pint. But couldn’t get out of the place quickly enough - and I’m no shrinking violet. Spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

I used to enjoy lunch here regularly when staying in the area. Arrived Ashbourne, yesterday and nostalgia and hunger took me back. "No food here" I was told, and clearly it has changed much since I last visited. But they appear to have a good selection of ales, and girls there recommended the George.

Poor service, poor quality, poor staff. Was loud, staff and customers swearing at each other. Tables were sticky Bathrooms had not been cleaned

Where do i start?Firstly, the lady that is running it currently has not a clue how to manage a pub.Me and my friends were shocked at the amount of kids in here.. The Locals were loud, shouting, screaming, with even the lady in charge shouting and swearing from behind the bar.Not a welcoming environment at all.Looks like a kids school disco, would not recommend.

I’d previously been in this pub and enjoyed it .. so I recommended it as a stop On a Derbyshire tour .. unfortunately we arrived and immediately got abuse from a local .. watching football and then he kicked a woman in our party and left the pub .. we left. in passing later we saw the person and asked the pub landlady why he did it . The land lady then went in to abuse with foul language and threats At all of us .. totally disgusting .. reported to the police ..

had a lovely morning walk then went for lunch very good value for really good dinner with some real good beers

Sólo necesitaba un pitstop en Ashbourne, elegido aquí porque la lista de comida fuera parecía una buena relación calidad-precio. No esperaba mucho de la chili pedí a ese precio muy agradablemente sorprendidos de conseguir una buena chili. Hizo, como resultó en el hombre del bar simpático (y, supongo, el propietario)

No hay nada pretencioso. No hay decoración moderna o temas de moda. Ni siquiera es particularmente elegante. Este es un sencillo y refrescante de pub. Es un pub con gente corriente tomar unas cervezas en el bar, servido por un camarero amable, mientras un verdadero surtido de música toca en el jukebox.

Siento que necesito para explicar mi comentario, porque lo más probable es que no sea sólo sorpresa los propietarios, sino también el futuro de los clientes. Soy un hombre de cervezas. Me gusta entrar en un pub y no tener que probar todas y cada una de ale de barril en buscar que una ale que ha sido arrastrado a través de la mañana o el que no está en la final de la barrica. Este lugar no es para nada un Cask marque (pub digno es ser dirigido por la empresa, que se sabe que sus pubs rot hasta sólo están la pena los muebles tienen dentro), así que tome mi comentario con una pizca de sal.

Looks nice outside but is in poor condition. Barman was very friendly and beer was good but suited to young late night'rs

Estábamos en Ashbourne por la mañana y decidimos llamar aquí para el almuerzo.

Ci siamo fermati a mezzogiorno su consiglio di amici che dicevano che avevano le migliori patate fritte...... Di questo non possiamo confermare, erano solite patate fritte, mentre i piatti del giorno sono stati molto buoni e ben fatti. ottime anche le birre e il dolce del giorno fatto in casa.

Un gran sabor y tradicional fish and chips" justo en el corazón de la ciudad ashbourne en el mercado, tenemos un montón de veces y siempre hemos estado en obtener el mismo gran servicio

We had been visiting Ashbourne and were very hungry and had decided to pop into the Vaults for a meal and a drink.The place itself, on first glance, felt a bit grimy with outdated and tired looking decor, sticky tables and dust and cobwebs. However, first appearances can be very deceptive.We stayed and ordered food and were very pleased by the friendly attitude from the staff who were more than happy to chat and serve us. The food was actually made very fast and was of good quality compared to a lot of pubs.If you are looking for a meal that's good value and tasty I recomment this establishment.(It's also dog friendly!)

2 meals for £12. Really tasty and good portions. Dogs welcome. Friendly staff. No frills pub. Tea and coffees served.

the room was very cheap and beds were clean, the décor was very dated and damp however for what we paid it was fine, wouldn't stay here again it was very noisey as it was the weekend

We enjoyed a nice pint of beer in friendly surroundings.The place could do with a bit of redecoration, but it's a good honest pub serving good beer.Great.

All day breakfast at The Vaults is the best in town!Excellant quality of food and cannot beat the price of £6,No wait for food and we ordered via The Swan (Sister Pub) and the service was second to none!

There is nothing wrong with the decor - it is a traditional pub. The staff were very welcoming even though we were in muddy cycling gear. The Sunday lunch was perfect, cooked well, lots of veg & loads of gravy. If you're looking for gourmet food forget it. If you want a hearty meal after walking or cycling its spot on.

We were looking for somewhere to have Sunday lunch and this was very close to where we parked the car to look around Ashbourne. Very old fashioned pub in need of decorating but the more than made up for it. Good fresh home cooked food and plenty of it. Very good value. We would go again.

Only popped in for a pint while staying in the town the guy behind the bar was really friendly and chatted away, only one other customer in the place. Bit off putting the amount of family pics on display, it is a pub and think they should be kept in your home. Bit lacking in atmosphere.

Well what can I say... What a dive, this place really needs an update, a lick of paint, a complete renovation!!!.The vaults is in prime position in the market place & looks pretty quaint from the outside, until you walk through the doors. What a shame the owners have let it slip, otherwise I think that it would be buzzing.There were only a few people in there when we visited & one couple left has soon has they walked through the door. However the young chap behind the bar was very nice & promt with service. Would not recomend this bar, there are far better places to drink in Ashbourne than this place....Sorry.

We popped in here for a quick lunch whilst out shopping and were not disappointed. The friendly service made us feel like regulars and the food was delicious. Will definitely return next time I am in the area.

We had lunch here today, I had the Sunday Roast, my wife had the soup. My roast was fantastic , a huge plate and all of it very tasty . The soup was apparently also very good and seemed to be home made. The lady serving was very friendly and the service quick. The pub itself is a bit basic but had a nice local feel to it. Recommended.
