The best restaurants in Ashbourne North Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Visited this cafe whilst in Pocklington for the Christmas markets on Saturday. What a beautiful place it is. The staff were great and so accommodating, especially for how busy it was! Added bonus - the coffee was beautiful!

I happened upon this wonderful coffee shop by chance, I was cycling in the area and needed calories, I am so glad I found it. The service was excellent the varied choices superb I went for the overnight oats which were delicious. I will always use local independent cafes whenever I am visiting anywhere, I am not a chain regular. The cakes all looked home made as did the all the fare on offer, I spoke to a lovely gentleman who served my food and told him I loved his place. I managed to complete my ride before they closed so popped in for some cake before returning home, suffice to say it was outstanding the carrot cake did not disappoint, it will be my go to now should I return to Ashbourne, I just wish I had it on my doorstep, it is that good. I loved the decor and the ambiance it is a place you feel at home in, which is a difficult quality to acquire in establishments nowadays. The staff and all concerned facilitate this, I so hope this is still here when I next visit.

A lovely little place, great coffee and homemade sweet treats. Happy to check allergens and happy to accept re-useable cups for hot drinks. Bravo!

Went here for our wedding anniversary and I have to say it was the best decision we could have made. The room was so beautiful the Japanese tub was so relaxing under the stars and the food was amazing. The staff were so polite and couldn't be more helpful. Amazing stay

Lovely independent bakery. We had 2 sandwiches to take away. They were very good. Ciabatta and top quality fillings for a very reasonable price. The sausage roll was amazing. Friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area again.

Absolutely lovely food. The waitresses were all excellent, very friendly and attentive. The decor, lighting, candles were lovely. It was very romantic, with everyone there talking quietly with no raised voices, making it a really nice night out. Highly recommended !

Excellent range of beers, very knowledgeable landlord, good atmosphere and really tasty pork pies

Absolutely the BEST fish n chips.

Mmmmnnn yummy breakfast food. The big full English is such great value with 4 sausages, 4 bacon, 2 egg, baked beans, hash brown bites, 2 slices of toast, 2 eggs and a grilled tomato plus black pudding! Pancakes were also amazing. Very god brunch!

What a wonderful restaurant! Booked late in the day, but the staff managed to find us a lovely table. Family of 5, grandparents to grandchildren, all of whom were delighted with the authentic, flavoursome and well served food. Cracking value too. We couldn't recommend this place more highly and will definitely return next time we are in the area.

Friendly, family-run place. Pleasing food. Felt a teeny bit dated - not sure about the radio blaring Radio 2, and a slight pivot towards coffee etc and the addition of a couple of sofas might generate enough local custom to stay open Tues-Thurs. But a good place and good food.

Whilst I cannot fault the quality of the food, the lack of toilet facilities causes me a major problem. Previously when we have visited here we were able to use the toilets belonging to the pub next door. Having mobility problems and on medication , I politely asked if it would be possible to use the staff WC. This was refused and I was told to use the public toilets which were a considerable distance away. It took me a very painful 25 minute walk to go there and back.I am 85 years old, leaning heavily on a walking stick . I feel very disappointed as i have visited this fish shop many times in the past.

This is a brilliant place to meet up very friendly and very attentive all the staff was lovely everywhere very clean. Would definitely recommend.

If you're in the mood for a very good fishfinger sandwich, look no further

Popped in for a coffee on a cold and rainy Saturday. The cappuccino was lovely and the fresh warm scones with jam and cream were spot on! Staff were very friendly and attentive also. Definitely worth a visit!
